Chapter 260 Make a Friend

Tom Riddle is really good at seeing through people's minds and disguising himself.

After learning that the person who picked up the diary was a young wizard with excellent academic performance, he has been building his own "genius academic master" persona, trying to quickly get closer to Kyle.

Perhaps it can't be considered a persona... After all, he is an academic master.

It is precisely because of this that when facing the questions raised by Kyle, he can always answer them quickly.

Kyle even learned a lot of useful tricks from him.

For example, in the Transfiguration class, when facing those relatively small insects, drawing circles with the wand can increase accuracy, which is much more convenient than poking directly.

"I just tried it, and the method you said is really very useful."

Kyle wrote in the diary "swish".

"I always thought that wrist movements would affect the results of transformation."

[In fact, as long as you are skilled enough, wrist movements can play a good auxiliary role. ]

[This is what I learned from a very professional magazine called "Today's Transfiguration"]

"I will definitely read it... Can I buy it in Diagon Alley?" Kyle asked.

[No need to buy them, the school library has them, they are at the bottom of the fifteenth bookshelf near the right corridor. ]

"I will go and see them after school starts."

[But they may have moved to another location, you can ask the librarian first. ]

[After all, I was created in 1943, it has been a long time now...]

Kyle looked at the words in the diary, and the hand holding the feather pen paused for a moment, and then continued to write as if nothing had happened:

"Oh my God, it has been fifty years... I thought you were only a few years older than me!"

[You are right. ]

[I am just a memory that stays at the age of fifteen. Time has no meaning to me, so no matter how many years have passed, I am fifteen years old. ]

"Then you must be very lonely,"

[Not really, because I found a friend like you. ]

Soon, another line of words appeared in the diary, the handwriting was much more sloppy than before, it seemed that Riddle was very nervous when he wrote this sentence.

[Will you be my friend? 】

"Of course!"

Kyle wrote without hesitation: "I have always wanted to have a friend like you who is smart, warm-hearted, and likes to study."

[I am really happy. 】

For the whole morning, Kyle has been communicating with Riddle in this way. He writes faster and faster, and his handwriting becomes more and more casual.

During this period, in addition to asking some questions about spells, Kyle said the most that he regretted not being able to become a real classmate with Riddle.

While answering those questions, Riddle also inquired about Kyle's situation in a roundabout way.

Slowly, from some clues that the other party inadvertently revealed, he gradually got a general understanding of the person who picked up the diary.

A little smart, but much worse than him. The reason for his good grades is more because of rote memorization, and what he knows is all written in books.

In addition, there are very few friends, only two, one likes wizard chess, and the other is full of Quidditch, both of whom are mediocre people that he doesn't even bother to look at.

And Riddle could see... these were all true, not lying to him, which made him extremely excited.

This was simply prey that was delivered to his door, like a free gift.

It was too easy to deal with such a person.

Because he had been out of tune with the people around him for a long time, he would naturally lack a sense of identity in his heart...

He only needed to play the role of a qualified listener and companion, and the other party would definitely open his heart to him and tell him all his secrets.

...

Until the afternoon, when Riddle could no longer hold back and began to mention the situation outside intentionally or unintentionally, Kyle was not ready to continue.

"Someone is coming..."

He hurriedly wrote this sentence, closed the diary, and put it in the box next to him.

Kyle stood up and moved his wrist.

As he thought before, Riddle in the diary did know Legilimency.

Just now, when he was writing, he suddenly felt a vague sense of peeping.

But the time was very short, only a moment, if he had not been on guard against Riddle, he might not have noticed this subtle change at all.

And Riddle was not as calm as he imagined.

He thought the other party would pretend for a while before revealing his purpose, but after only one morning, he couldn't help but ask about the situation outside.

He is still young and too impetuous.

Who is the most powerful wizard now... Is the headmaster of Hogwarts Professor Dumbledore... Isn't asking these questions just to know about his future situation?

If Dumbledore is still alive and well, it undoubtedly proves that he has failed in the future, and lost very thoroughly.

On the contrary, if he succeeds, then the most powerful wizard can only be Voldemort... Although this is impossible.

After the diary was opened by a little wizard, Riddle should have guessed that Voldemort was "dead", otherwise how could such an important thing as a Horcrux be lost.

So the ultimate purpose of asking is probably to know the reason.

However, he just opened the beginning, and Kyle directly found an excuse to close the diary, not giving him the opportunity to continue asking.

Kyle came to the windowsill and rubbed the feathers on Laton's neck. How to say it, Riddle seems to be easier to deal with than he thought.

The vest of the first step is good. As long as we take it step by step, we should be able to ask a lot of things he wants to know.

At least the part about "Voldemort's death in Godric's Hollow" is very valuable.

Want to get something for nothing? No way. It's fair for everyone to ask one question each.

"Kyle!"

"Look here!"

At this time, the voices of Fred and George suddenly came from outside the window.

Kyle lowered his head and found that the twins were waving at him not far away with their flying brooms, followed by Harry, Ron and Ginny.

It seems that they are going to play Quidditch on the hill behind.

"Want to go together?" Fred asked loudly.

Kyle thought for a moment, then took his Nimbus 2000 and left the room.

"We mentioned you this morning."

As soon as they met, Fred asked, "Why are you busier than Percy recently?"

"Nothing," Kyle said casually, "I just found something interesting a few days ago, so I read it for a while."

Others didn't care.

"Have you finished reading it now?" George asked.

"I guess so." Kyle said.

After completing the initial communication, he could take his time with the rest. After all, he had plenty of time and was not in a hurry.

Riddle wanted to know why he failed, so he should think about it carefully.

Kyle planned to leave him alone for a while. Anyway, he was not going to touch the diary again in the next few days.
