Chapter 157 February Knowledge and Diary Lost Again

Jerry and the other man walked in and saw Neville's face flushed and sweaty, so they couldn't help asking, "Neville, are you okay? Is it so hot?"

Neville wiped his forehead and realized that he was sweating profusely.

"Ah! Well... I just did some exercise. It's okay, it's okay." Neville stammered and told a lie.

Because Neville also exercises regularly, in addition to morning exercises with Ted, he also does some push-ups, sit-ups, and chopping with wooden swords in the evening. So Jerry and the others didn't suspect anything.

Ron also took out a big bag of food from his arms: "Haha, Neville, you really should go to the kitchen and have a look. It's very lively there now. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, flames and iron pots flying!" Ron was in a rare high spirits.

Neville forced a smile and followed the two of them to eat something, but he couldn't taste anything.

Neville didn't know how he got through the night, tossing and turning like a pancake, unable to sleep. All he could think about was Hagrid and the scenes he saw in Tom's memory.

I don’t know when I finally fell asleep, and I had a nightmare.

I dreamed that a mysterious door opened, and an indescribable monster was led out by Hagrid and pounced on the students of Hogwarts.

He was awakened by a nightmare before dawn. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, got up, took out Senior Tom's diary, and began to inquire about the details of the opening of the secret room.

Not long after, Jerry woke up and found Neville was already sitting at the table writing something.

He was startled and came closer: "You are also like Ron, secretly working hard to improve yourself! Are you guys trying to kill me?!"

Ron heard someone saying his name, he opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the two people: Who is calling me?
……

May is here.

"Ding~ The talent [Otherworldly Knowledge (Gold)] is triggered, and [The Magical Nourishing Method of the Quail (Blue)] is discovered."

[The Way of Magical Nourishment of the Great Quail (Blue)] records the research and experience of a tauren druid who is obsessed with the form of an owl beast on the nourishment of magic. It costs 550 experience points to exchange.

Magic nourishment? How come I don’t know what magic nourishment is?
Ted was a little confused.

As an old wower, this shouldn't happen.

The big quail should be referring to the bird-druid owl form, a druid school that uses natural magic as its main means.

After exchanging it, at least it will be blue quality knowledge, so you won’t suffer any loss.

In an instant, experience is consumed and information enters the brain.

Ted took it all in just a dozen seconds.

The information is not too much. After all, this is just an in-depth study of a certain magic in a certain school of the druid profession. It cannot compare to the vast and profound amount of information on the druid's transfiguration technique.

But after going through it once, Ted was delighted to find that this thing was very useful.

This method of nourishing magic power turned out to be the Great Quail Druid's research on temporarily increasing magic power.

With this ability, he can increase his magic power by one or two levels before fighting!

Several groups are upgraded before the battle. This is the treatment of the protagonist!
Although it is temporary, it is still quite valuable.

Earn it! Study it! Study it!
……

Neville has a strong ability to withstand pressure. He couldn't figure out what was going on and he held on for two or three days before finally finding Ted.

"Ted, I have something to tell you..."

The two came to a secluded corner, and Neville talked about how he picked up the diary, how he saw senior Tom's memory, and knew that Hagrid was the heir of Slytherin.

Neville looked painful, his face flushed, tears welled up in his eyes, but they didn't fall. He had learned that crying was useless.

"I'm sorry, Ted. I didn't inform you immediately. I...I didn't know what to do?"

Neville tilted his head back, trying hard to stop the tears from falling.

After listening to this, Ted frowned and patted Neville on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, Neville. I have to remind you that Hagrid is unlikely to be the heir of Slytherin."

"What? What did you say?" Neville was stunned, his mind in a mess.

He was so absorbed in that "personal memory" that he didn't think about whether Hagrid was the heir or not. He had actually already accepted Hagrid's identity as the heir, so he was in pain for several days. But now, Ted actually said that Hagrid might not be the heir? No, it was unlikely that he was the heir.

Ted sat on a stone bench nearby, plucked a piece of mint from the flower bed, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully, and said slowly: "I understand your entanglement and pain. It's hard for you to struggle until now. But have you ever thought about it, is Hagrid really the heir of Slytherin?"

He glanced at Neville. "Fifty years ago, although Dumbledore was not yet the headmaster, he had been teaching in the school for many years. If Hagrid was really the heir of Slytherin, and he opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed a female student, is it possible for him to be here intact?"

"Besides, Dumbledore made him the gamekeeper, which shows that he does not agree with the accusation against Hagrid..."

Neville's breathing quickened: That's right! Dumbledore doesn't think Hagrid is the heir of Slater, he is not the murderer!

Ted continued: "Although I shouldn't talk about our friends behind their backs, I have to remind you that Hagrid's body shape is very different from that of ordinary people..."

Neville was stunned: "What? What do you mean?"

Ted sighed: "You are so slow! Hermione had already guessed it. You still haven't reacted to what I have said~"
"I mean, Hagrid is a half-giant."

"Half giant?!"

"Shh~" Ted signaled Neville to keep his voice down, "Do you want the whole school to know about this?"

"Hagrid is a half-giant Gryffindor. He can't possibly be the heir of Slytherin. Do you understand? If the legend is true, the heir of the Chamber of Secrets will even have to put Hagrid on his own purge list."

Just by looking at Hagrid, no reasonable person would believe that he was the heir of Slytherin.

If Hagrid could become the heir of Slytherin, then there would be no reason for Slytherin to purge the young Muggle-born wizards.

So when Hagrid happened to have something on him, they used him as a scapegoat and suppressed the matter of the student's death.

"Ha! Haha! That's great ~ That's great Ted!" Neville patted his chest hard, with an expression that said, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

But Ted's expression became serious: "Neville, don't be happy too soon!"

"what?"

"Where is the diary you mentioned now?"

"In the bedroom."

"take me!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"Neville, I have to remind you to be wary of magical items that have their own thinking abilities! Those things are often very high-end, even dark and dangerous! You may not know that Jerry and I received several similar items during the summer vacation, and they are all deadly!"

He looked at Neville. "Besides, I've never heard of any magic that can leave a piece of your memory behind. And it can also let people read their memories like the Pensieve. This is too weird!"

"Penney?"

"That's not important. What's important is to see what that diary is first!"

On the way, Ted kept thinking about his preparations.

I don't know if my arrangement can completely control the first Horcrux created by Voldemort.

He has been thinking about how to deal with the Horcruxes for more than a year.

The crown is not capable of handling it yourself, so don't touch it for now.

There was no way to avoid the diary. Should he hand it over directly to Dumbledore to be destroyed, or keep it for himself? After all, this was Voldemort in his fifth year and he had already mastered a lot of forbidden knowledge. But the danger was also extremely great.

Horcruxes are very high-end, very high-end. Ted had seen relevant records in the restricted book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed".

To be honest, he couldn't even understand how Voldemort had created a Horcrux in his fifth year. Did he have a cheat too?!

As a result, as soon as the two of them arrived outside the Gryffindor dormitory, before they could tell the Fat Lady the password, they heard a commotion inside and several people talking in a disorderly manner.

The two rushed in quickly, only to find a group of people gathered in the corridor - Neville's dormitory had been turned upside down.

Neville rushed in and opened the drawer, but as expected, something unexpected happened - the diary was missing!
