This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 185: The Clash of Swindlers (Two in One)

After testing this novel diary for a long time (including but not limited to throwing, throwing, tearing and kicking bubbles...) - the twins finally confirmed one thing.

This diary that suddenly appeared with a questioning tone was not as interesting as they imagined - the Marauder's Map had deceived the two of them, but it seemed completely different.

"No, just answer it. It seems like it can only ask stupid questions like that."

"Are you crazy? How did we trick Ron in the first place!"

George quickly stopped his brother who was seeking death.

When the two of them tricked Ron into signing the Unbreakable Vow, they were just one step away from success - now they were writing in a diary that they had never seen before!
"That makes sense... That's not right," Fred shook his head vigorously, his eyes became clear, "No, no, why would I have such a strange idea? We have always tricked others into signing, how come we almost got fooled today."

"Come on, you're just anxious!"

George taunted mercilessly, poking the diary with his wand - but it didn't respond.

"Damn it, if I don't write on it, I can't communicate, but if I write on it, I'm easy to get cheated... If only I were a kid, I could have tricked Ron into signing it..."

Fred looked regretful...

"We need to find someone who is willing to sign for us and is not afraid of getting hurt... It would be nice if it wasn't so unknown. Really, if we can't even grasp the limit of teasing... it's too easy to hurt people."

George sighed, but Fred's wandering eyes suddenly brightened up, "Just now you said it's easy to hurt people, right?"

"Of course. Oh, wait, you mean?"

"That's right, brother!"

"One, two, three, say it all at once!"

"Nearly Headless Nick (Peeves)!"

The two looked at each other and saw disgust in each other's eyes - this was a rare inconsistency.

"Why Nick (Peeves)?"

"We're going to take care of him (even if it means getting hurt, Nick doesn't care, if he gets his head taken away, he'll thank us to death)!"

Nick is the ghost of Gryffindor - his greatest wish is to completely disconnect his head from his body, but he has never been able to do so.

The two had obvious differences, and finally decided to target Nearly Headless Nick - the poor ghost has been looking for a way to completely remove his head for years, and if it is something really harmful, maybe it can be done!

Of course, the most important thing is that Nick can communicate, but as for Peeves, no one knows whether he will go crazy.

They did it right away - the two of them clamped the diary with wooden sticks in disgust, then wrapped it up, unfolded the Marauder's Map and began to look for Nick's location.

It was not difficult. In less than five minutes, the two found their target. Ten minutes later, they happily blocked Nick who was daydreaming in an empty classroom.

"Good afternoon, Nick."

"Oh, hello, Weasley kids, are you going to play a prank? If you don't bother me, I'd like to stay here for a while."

The three people, or rather the two and one ghost, were very familiar with it - because the twins loved to play outside, and those places were exactly the places that ghosts liked, and they would even stay there in a daze for a long time.

"Yes, there is a prank, but it is very dangerous. We plan to sort it out and then find a suitable target."

"Is it dangerous?"

"A very dangerous prank. It could kill someone, even a ghost—even his head."

"Did he really lose his head?"

Nick's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed again - he had tried too many times over the years, but it all failed.

"Of course, so we are considering inviting the bravest ghost blood man Barrow to try."

???

Nick's expression suddenly became angry.

"The Bloody Baron... well, maybe he's fine, but you're Gryffindors, shouldn't you ask me for help with something dangerous like this?"

"But isn't it what Gryffindors are supposed to do to trick Slytherin into doing something dangerous?"

"Damn it, you two bastards were just trying to trick me into doing this! Fine, you succeeded, I'm willing, what do you want to do? Are you provoking anyone?"

"No, it's very simple. You just sign it."

The twins smiled and opened the package and took out the diary.

"Signing a diary? That's ridiculous... Is this really a dangerous prank? You didn't use an ordinary notebook to trick me, did you?"

Nick looked at the unremarkable diary with confusion in his eyes.

"It's so dangerous that neither of us dare to write on it! Watch carefully, let us demonstrate!"

The two tore the book open in front of Nick, demonstrating its powerful recovery ability, and then cast several destructive spells to prove that what they said was true.

"Well, well... it looks very dangerous... Oh, of course, there are other risks..."

Nick was a little tempted, but he didn't let it go. "Well, if he heals my neck, it will be bad."

"You have to give it a try, Nick. Here's the ink and the quill."

The twins pulled something out of another bag and placed it in front of Nick.

"Okay, hopefully it's dangerous enough."

Nick muttered, then took up the quill with great effort and began to write on the blank diary, complaining as he wrote, "I'm not used to using a normal quill. I should go to Professor Binns to borrow some of his special products..."

【I am Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington.】

Such handwriting appeared in the diary, and after a moment of silence, the diary absorbed the line of text.

"It seems to be possible. It is indeed dangerous!"

"right."

[Hello, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, my name is Tom Riddle.]

"Tom Riddle."

Nick silently recited the name, "Oh, I know, I've seen him, yes, a student from a long, long time ago, he was a Slytherin student, and seemed to be a class leader, very handsome, um, and very friendly to ghosts, yes, that's right, he likes to communicate with ghosts very much, and said that we are witnesses of history!"

"A Slytherin student?"

"Well, he's a Slytherin student, excellent in both academics and character, very outstanding, and also a prefect and the head boy of the student union. He can chat with every ghost, especially the ghosts of Ravenclaw, especially Ms. Grey."

"This is so rare. A Slytherin with a good character is as incredible as a vegetarian troll."

George muttered quietly, "And the name matches. He made his diary into a question-and-answer magic creation?" "I don't know, but it's still wrong. Mr. Nick, can you talk to him more?"

"Yes, that memory seems to be still vivid in my mind. The conflicts among students at that time were not so serious..." Nick wrote in his diary while reminiscing about the past.

"By the way, how did you get this diary?"

"It was in Filch's office. It must have been confiscated or thrown away. We played a little prank on him and got him."

"Is that so?"

Nick nodded - he was now very interested in this diary that could communicate, mainly Tom Riddle, the boy had left a very good impression on him back then.

【It was probably confiscated or lost from Filch's office.】

"Ask him again why he suddenly wanted to make a diary like this!"

Fred seemed to have thought of something and added.

"Ok."

The question was quickly written up.

The diary was obviously silent for a moment, but soon large sections of handwriting appeared.

[For the unfinished exploration and the treasures left in the castle, I was obsessed with looking for the traces left by the four giants in the castle. I finally found some clues and received some gifts, but that was not all. I had planned to continue searching, but I had to face my graduation ceremony...

When I graduated, I wondered, without my clues, would later students be able to find those hidden treasures?

Finally, I decided to leave my adventure diary, hoping that future students can find it and help me complete that great adventure. 】

"Adventure and treasure?"

"Sounds good, bro."

"No wonder people haven't found anything after searching for so long. It turns out that not only Dumbledore dug there, but Tom Riddle also did. Really, no wonder we only found a passage at most..."

If Tom had just talked about the treasure without any evidence, the two would have sneered at him. But since Dumbledore had also discovered it, the matter became much more credible.

"Don't worry, you two. There's more."

Nick had to interrupt their conversation because long passages of writing appeared in the diary again.

[To be honest, I never thought that the person who would open it again would be a Gryffindor. This is really hard to accept... If you can hand the diary to a suitable Slytherin, I will let him pay you a huge reward.

Or you can pass the message on, and you will also receive a generous reward...】

"This Slytherin guy might really be the popular guy, but he seems to have made a mistake about one thing..."

George snorted, "Leave it to the Slytherins, they're dreaming!"

It would be fine if it were the other two houses, but Slytherin should go eat shit!
"No," George cursed, his eyes turned strange, "Nick, please threaten it. If it doesn't tell you the so-called treasure, then soak it in the toilet and let it live with feces for the rest of its life!"

"This is not good..."

Nick was a little embarrassed. He was a good guy and was not good at it. Besides, Tom was a very nice person back then.

"Ask about the treasure. If there are any traps, you can do it. If there is information, you can see that the traps and magic of the Big Four can always help you get rid of the things in your head, right?"

Fred smiled and beguiled, but secretly exchanged glances with George - Sure enough, did you also notice something was wrong?
"It refused to respond. It seems that nothing can be asked of it!"

Nick tremblingly wrote down the twins' threatening words, and then was blocked.

"Then take it. Don't worry, Nick. We will keep our word. During this time, we will definitely find out the secret of the treasure of the four giants, and then you can go explore the way and get a share!"

"I actually..." Nick hesitated. He didn't like this very much, but the treasures and protective spells of the Big Four - one of them would be able to take his head off, right?

Amidst their inner struggle, the diary fell back into their hands.

Almost immediately, the two began to tear each other apart frantically, cursing as they destroyed the pieces, "I'll teach you how to count, I'll teach you how to do things, I'll teach you how to be a Slytherin!"

The diary was destroyed again and again, and then quickly restored.

This venting behavior did not stop until the twins seemed a little tired.

"Don't worry, Nick, there will be no problem. We will handle him, even if we have to use the toilet!"

"You know, we're in good standing!"

The two of them left panting, and then found an empty classroom they often used. They soaked the entire book in clean water, threatening while soaking it. When all else failed, they had no choice but to hide the soaked diary and then walked out.

-

"Damn it, this thing is really bewitching. If we weren't good at it, we might have been fooled by it!"

"This treasure is tailor-made for Gryffindor. The temptation is too great."

"Yeah, he was very reluctant and asked us to hand him over to Slytherin... Tsk tsk, he also told us secretly that we can't spread it, otherwise the reward will be much less."

"We have met someone in the same industry..."

George sighed, "But we are just playing a prank, it's hard to say what it wants to do."

"Nick may get what he wants. This thing may really kill him. His head may be cut off."

"And then there will be two more clueless Weasleys, becoming the laughing stock of the castle."

The two of them were exchanging witty remarks with each other.

"Maybe Ron will even laugh at me. Oh, Merlin's beard. That's so scary!"

"So we have to retaliate... It's unforgivable that they planned to make us the object of Ron's ridicule."

The two of them condemned this at the same time, and happily imagined whether Ron, the little fool, would be tricked into becoming a ghost.

"Unthinkable and unbearable. If Gryffindor had one more ghost like that, I would consider sending my child to Beauxbatons. Otherwise, he might have to drop out of school on the first day in disgrace."

“No, I think I’ll just drop out…”

"Makes sense."

"Let's interrogate it first. When it starts to lead us unwillingly and makes us fall into its trap, we can happily tell it that its clumsy trap was discovered from the beginning."

"Really, it's a perfect prank..."

The two of them looked at each other, with indelible joy in each other's eyes.

This Hogwarts has suddenly become interesting!
