NOVEL NEXT Chapter 131: The Disappearing Diary
"Lynn, do you have any last words?"
Before dinner started, Irina saw Lynn coming to the hall outside the auditorium. She drew her wand and looked at him.
Seeing Irina glaring at him with clenched teeth, Lynn raised his hands in surrender without hesitation. "Wait, don't do anything yet. I have a gift for you, consider it an apology."
Although Lynn knew that mocking Irina just to satisfy his own bad taste wasn't a good idea, he really couldn't resist this morning...
Of course, Lynn wasn't someone who didn't know how to take a step back. After doing something wrong, he would naturally face the consequences of his actions.
Lynn took a wooden box with exquisite patterns from his pocket and handed it to Irina.
"What gift? Is this... a bracelet?"
After seeing the exquisite wooden box, Irina suppressed her anger. She opened the box and saw a transparent jade bracelet inside.
Lynn explained, "Do you remember the alchemy experiment I was working on when I contacted you with a mirror? At that time, I was trying to refine this kind of bracelet. This bracelet is called the Guardian Jade Bracelet. It can greatly weaken the power of dark magic acting on the user to a certain extent, even the Unforgivable Curses. The power of the other two Unforgivable Curses, besides the Killing Curse, can also be weakened."
After learning about the powerful effect of this jade bracelet, Irina couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although she still complained about Lynn mocking her, she decided to generously forgive him.
"I can feel a special magic emanating from this bracelet. Is this its effect?"
Irina carefully put the Guardian Jade Bracelet on her left wrist. She felt the magical fluctuations from the bracelet and said.
Lynn smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes, if the dark magic attacking you is not too powerful, it can even block it directly."
Looking at Lynn with a smile on her face, Irina rolled her eyes, then huffed arrogantly, "I'll let you off this time, little black!"
...
Time passed day by day.
During this period, Lynn refined many alchemical products that could resist dark magic, like the Guardian Jade Bracelet. Among these were pendants, rings, and amulets—small, discreet items that Hermione often found after Lynn returned from his activities. Lynn often wore a ring on his hand, a pendant around his neck, or some beautiful trinkets on his wizard's robe.
Of course, Irina had also complained that these self-defense alchemical products made Hermione and the others more suspicious of her relationship with Lynn. But it was less likely for anyone to suspect that such small objects were special alchemical products for defense. These products, though, were still safe for her life, without exception.
The only thing that could make Irina feel relieved was that the appearance of the ring was a floral design with a purely decorative meaning, rather than a metal ring with some special significance.
Perhaps these defensive alchemy products weren't immune to physical damage caused by dark magic, like the Cruciatus Curse, but these alchemical products could resist special powers that attack the soul.
Take Neville Longbottom's parents, the Longbottoms, for example. If they had used these defensive alchemical products refined by Lynn during Voldemort's time, even if they had been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, there would have been no lingering effects because the attack on the soul would have been resisted by these products.
You must know that the soul is an extremely mysterious and elusive thing, even in the magical world. However, only a few types of magic can target the soul, and Lynn's ability to resist this type of magic shows the high level of his alchemy skills.
Even in the French magical world, including the great alchemist Nicolas Flamel and Lynn's mentor, Wallison Green, there was probably only one alchemist capable of refining alchemical products for soul defense.
Apart from that, Hogwarts Castle remained very calm during these days because the Horcrux diary had fallen into Irina's hands.
And Harry, who didn't enter Tom Riddle's memories, didn't suspect Hagrid as he did in the original book.
However, precisely because there were no further attacks, the young wizards believed that, no matter who the attacker was, that person had likely washed their hands of the matter. As a result, those young wizards who had suspected Harry of being the heir of Slytherin became more critical of him. Harry's reputation gradually improved.
During a Herbology class, Ernie MacMillan, who had always disliked Harry, politely handed him a bucket of bouncing mushrooms.
In March, several mandrakes threw a lively dance party in the third greenhouse, which made Professor Sprout very happy, as it meant that these mandrakes were about to mature.
These mandrakes maturing also meant that Mrs. Norris, who had been attacked, Justin, and Nick, who had nearly been decapitated, were about to recover their lives.
Soon, the Easter holidays arrived.
Second-year students also faced the problem of choosing elective courses.
Just like it was written in the original book, Hermione didn't want to give up any electives. She believed these electives were crucial for her future.
Harry, who hated Professor Snape, said he only wanted to drop Potions. Unfortunately, Potions was a required course, and he might never realize that wish.
Well, unless Hogwarts was invaded by Death Eaters.
"Irina, which course are you going to take?"
After failing to get a response from Ron, Harry turned his attention to Irina, who was eating snacks.
"Well," Irina wiped her mouth, "I'll probably choose a Care of Magical Creatures class."
Like Lynn, Irina wasn't willing to let useless courses, which would lead to unemployment after graduation, take up her time.
Just as Lynn, an alchemist, chose the Ancient Runes course because it was easier for him, Irina also chose Care of Magical Creatures, which matched her affinity for magical creatures.
Harry said, somewhat surprised, "Huh? You're only choosing one? Don't you have a lot of free time then?"
Irina smiled and said, "You don't need to refer to my choice. You know I just like fishing."
Harry and Ron didn't manage to get the results they wanted from Irina, so they continued discussing it among themselves.
The year at Hogwarts was always very busy. Shortly after the Easter holidays, the Quidditch competition would start again.
However, this Friday, the day before the Quidditch match, Irina received some bad news.
"Something happened, Irina, come back to the dormitory with me!"
Irina, who was still wandering calmly, was dragged back to the dormitory by Hermione, who looked anxious.
It seemed that a thief had broken into her dormitory, turned it into a mess, and Irina's pillow had fallen to the floor.
It was over...
Seeing this scene, Irina's pupils slightly dilated, and she seemed a little lost.
You see, since the last time the diary had fallen to the floor and been seen by the younger wizards, Irina felt there was some risk in carrying it with her, so she had hidden the Horcrux diary under her pillow.
But now, not only was the pillow overturned, but the diary that had been inside was also missing.
