Chapter 525
Malfoy glanced at him, and then...
"Expelliarmus!"
The diary in Malfoy's hand flew up, and Ron caught it.
"I'm going to tell Filch, Scarhead, that you're casting spells in the corridor..."
Malfoy was furious; he looked at Harry with annoyance.
However, a voice interrupted his words.
It was Mr. Filch.
His sinister face appeared beside Malfoy, giving Malfoy a fright.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Hmph, aren't you going to tell me something?"
Filch's face looked exceptionally sinister.
"Damn Death Eaters, they are always hiding and can't be found. If I catch them, I'll hand them all over to Dumbledore and have them expelled!"
Filch looked at Malfoy sinisterly.
He suddenly asked: "I heard your father was a Death Eater before, right?"
"No, my father isn't... Hmph, don't get cocky, I will definitely make my father expel you!"
Malfoy was frightened by Filch; of course, even so, he didn't forget to threaten Harry and Filch viciously.
"Thank you..."
Harry wanted to thank Filch.
Although Filch helping him was probably just for Darren's sake.
But he was also interrupted by Filch.
"No need. You saw Darren just now, how is he?"
Filch asked worriedly.
His face was somewhat restless.
Harry thought he was just worried about Darren's injuries, then he heard Mr. Filch's voice with a sobbing tone: "You persuade him, he doesn't need to be so silly researching potions for people like us; we aren't actually in a hurry..."
"Everyone has waited for so many years; now we just want him to be safe and sound..."
Harry thought of Darren's sleepy appearance just now, and his heart tightened.
Madam Pomfrey said Darren seemed to have not rested for a long time.
Her temper was more because he was ruining his body.
Although the potion was strong, it also needed time to recover.
'Time passes very quickly on him, as if he is forcibly accelerating his own time, perhaps just for those potions...'
Madam Pomfrey said helplessly.
The expression on her face was full of helplessness and sighs.
She couldn't blame Darren's kindness anymore.
She could only force him to rest more.
She was truly at her wit's end.
Harry's expression was even sadder.
He nodded and walked toward the Gryffindor common room in discomfort.
Until he returned to his dormitory, he finally sighed softly.
Those Death Eaters, why were they always targeting Darren to harm him?
By what right did they bully Darren like this?
If they have the ability, come find him!
He was the Savior, Darren wasn't the Savior, by what right should they make Darren bear everything.
He clenched his fists angrily and punched the bed.
After he punched it, he was pulled back to reality by a tactile sensation.
This is?
Right, that diary.
This black diary made Harry always feel it was useful.
And, the name Tom Riddle always made Harry feel it was a name he remembered from the depths of his memory.
He felt that he and this person seemed to have known each other a long time ago.
But even so, he still couldn't understand what was in this diary.
Perhaps, he could try writing a diary in it?
Thinking of it, he did it; Harry took out a quill, preparing to write about what happened today.
But a strange thing happened.
As soon as his ink dripped on it, it was absorbed by this diary.
Then, a line of text appeared in front of Harry.
"Hello, I am Tom Riddle, are you looking for me?"
Heavens, this diary was really not a simple diary.
Like in the original work, Harry was taken by Tom Riddle to see what happened fifty years ago.
He rushed out of the dormitory in terror.
He found Hermione and Ron.
"You guys come quickly, I want to tell you something: fifty years ago, it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets!"
Harry mysteriously told them everything Riddle had shown him.
"Hagrid?"
"Impossible, do you think Hagrid is the heir of Slytherin?"
Hermione and Ron almost couldn't believe it, but the facts were there.
And Hagrid was indeed expelled.
And Hagrid liked to raise large animals as pets, which really couldn't be washed away.
When they were in their first year, Hagrid even raised a dragon, although in the end, that dragon was taken away by Ron's brother Charlie.
But this also represented that Hagrid had indeed raised such animals.
So, some animal Hagrid raised might really have the ability to petrify people.
"Harry, do you remember before school started, you accidentally ran into Diagon Alley... that time you almost scared Darren."
Hermione suddenly asked in shock, as if remembering something.
"Yeah, Hagrid was also in Diagon Alley; he said he wanted to buy some potion to get rid of flesh-eating slugs."
The three of them were silent at the same time.
Could it really be Hagrid?
Thinking of the recent events, they were a bit afraid to let Darren know that Hagrid was the one who caused the petrification incident.
Darren would definitely look at them in astonishment, and then he would run to Hagrid to verify it.
Then he would very likely get an answer that would break his heart: Hagrid was really the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets.
Of course, it could also be a pet Hagrid raised that opened it by accident.
But this would definitely make Darren sad.
