Chapter 257 Riddle's Diary

After returning to the Leaky Cauldron, Hagrid suggested that everyone have a drink before leaving, and everyone agreed... even Mrs. Weasley, who was the most angry, was no exception.

She felt that she needed to explain what happened to the Grangers just now, so that they would not have any bad thoughts about wizards.

While the adults were chatting, Kyle came to Ginny.

The little girl was lowering her head and drinking the hot chocolate in her hand without saying a word... In the Leaky Cauldron, besides various kinds of alcohol, there was only this.

Kyle's sudden appearance scared her.

"That throw just now was really beautiful."

"You, you saw it all?"

"I wasn't sure before..." Kyle shrugged and said, "But a normal Ginny wouldn't be so quiet."

"I... I'm just too angry." Ginny pinched the cup, "Why did he say that about Dad!"

But she immediately changed her expression and asked nervously, "Kyle, will they fire Dad?"

"Don't worry, they definitely won't." Kyle thought for a while and said, "The Ministry of Magic has just passed the latest "Muggle Protection Act", and Mr. Weasley is the initiator and main executor of this decree.

If he is fired at this time, it will have a great impact on the prestige of the Ministry of Magic, and Fudge will not agree."

Ginny blinked... She didn't understand.

"Okay, let me put it another way."

Kyle smiled and said, "Mr. Weasley has many friends, including many directors, deputy directors, and members of the Wizengamot, and they will all help support him."

Now, Ginny understood.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person became visibly cheerful.

"Thank you, Kyle!"

"No need, I'm just telling the truth." Kyle waved his hand and said:

"But you threw the cauldron just now very accurately. If there weren't so many books in it, it should have hit Malfoy's head.

Seriously, Ginny, you have the talent to be a chaser."

"It's a pity that first-year students are not allowed to participate in Quidditch." Ginny smiled.

"You can also try it. After all, Harry is an exception."

"But I heard that Gryffindor is not short of chasers now..."

"That's true, then wait until you are in the second year."

"Hey, you just said let me try." Ginny said dissatisfiedly: "Can't I be selected as an exception like Harry?"

"I'm just being polite...it's really your fault." Kyle said calmly: "If it were me, the one just now would definitely not be empty."

Ginny gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to throw the crucible at Kyle's face to let him see if she threw it accurately.

But when she turned around, she found that her crucible had been taken away by Kyle at some point.

"I was just worrying about what gift to give you for school..."

Kyle took the old books out of the cauldron, "How about a brand new set of textbooks."

Ginny quickly shook her head and refused, "No, no, that's too expensive, I can use second-hand ones..."

"It's settled."

Before she finished, Kyle put away the old books, "But you have to wait two days, Flourish and Blotts Bookstore probably won't welcome us now."

Ginny couldn't help laughing out loud.

Because of them, several bookshelves in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore were knocked down, and the books on them were scattered all over the floor.

If it weren't for that man named Hagrid, they definitely wouldn't be able to leave so easily.

...

After drinking butter beer, everyone was much calmer, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger also put aside what happened just now and said goodbye to Mrs. Weasley with a smile.

They were going back to the Muggle street on the other side of the bar.

Before leaving, Kyle also gave Mr. Granger a large bottle of Porter Speed ​​Shampoo.

He had a lot of this stuff in his bag, all prepared for a certain professor, so it didn't matter if he took out a bottle.

After saying goodbye at the bar, Kyle and the Weasley family came to the fireplace and returned to the Burrow via Floo powder.

"Fortunately you didn't pronounce the name wrong this time, dear."

At the door of the kitchen of the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley took a coat brush and began to sweep the ash on them, "Very good, everyone is here... Wait, why are there only eight people, where is Percy!"

Everyone realized that Percy didn't come back.

"I remember he was reading a book in a second-hand shop." Ron said:

Harry nodded, "It seems to be "How the Prefect Gets Power""

Everything in the second-hand shop is very broken, but the book looks like new.

"Ha, this is really Percy." Fred said with a smile.

"He wants to be the Head Boy..."

"Maybe the Minister of Magic!"

Mrs. Weasley ignored Fred and George and put down her coat brush.

"Oh, my God, Percy must have forgotten the time... Didn't you call him when you came back?"

"Who would care about Percy at that time." Ron whispered: "We thought you had called him..."

Mrs. Weasley didn't say anything, but silently grabbed a handful of Floo powder and threw it into the fireplace.

In fact, she forgot too.

...

Mrs. Weasley went back to pick up Percy.

Kyle refused Fred's invitation to play Quidditch in the woods and hurried back home after leaving the Burrow.

He returned to his room, locked the door, and took out Ginny's pile of old textbooks.

In the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", there was a tattered black notebook.

The faded date on the cover indicated that it was fifty years old, and it was not noticeable among these old books.

Even if someone saw it, they would mistake it for someone who accidentally forgot to put it in the thrift store when sorting things out.

Kyle took a deep breath and carefully opened the notebook... On the first page, there was only a vague name.

"T.M. Riddle."

Sure enough, Lucius Malfoy secretly gave the diary to Ginny.

He probably wanted to use this method to take revenge on the Weasley family.

Kyle knocked on the table... Lucius Malfoy probably didn't know the real purpose of the diary, but he must know how dangerous Voldemort's things are.

In other words, he didn't care about Ginny's life or death at all.

Hagrid was right, Lucius Malfoy was really bad.

Although he paid a price for it.

After Voldemort was resurrected, he immediately discovered that his Horcrux hidden in Malfoy had an accident.

Although Lucius Malfoy gave up all his property and barely saved his family's lives, Draco was still forcibly sent to assassinate Dumbledore.

A student who has not yet graduated, to assassinate Dumbledore... Obviously, Voldemort did not want him to live at all.

But this is all for the future.

Now that the diary is in his hands, Ginny should be able to have a normal school year.

Moreover, he just happened to have some questions and wanted to ask the young Riddle.
