Chapter 152 Laura's Request

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the source of the voice, the person who came was Laura, who looked much better than more than a month ago.

"We are discussing the issue of course selection." Fan Lin quickly blinked at the few people, indicating that they should continue talking about their own topics.

"Ah... That's right..." Harry said with a little stammer. He would look very unnatural if he told a lie.

"Oh, course selection?" Laura seemed very interested in this. "I have already chosen the Care of Magical Creatures course and Divination!"

"Just these two?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, I think this is more suitable for me." Laura sat next to Hermione affectionately. She always likes this.

"Oh my God, Hermione..." Laura opened her mouth in surprise.

"You chose all the courses... Oh, no, you didn't choose the Apparition course. Oh my God, where do you have so much time in a day..."

"In fact, this is exactly what bothers me!" Hermione frowned. According to her idea, these courses need to be taken, but there is no time at all.

"What about you?" Laura turned to the boys.

"Ron and I haven't decided yet..." Harry said, "In fact, I don't know what I should do. Apart from Quidditch, none of the new courses are what I am good at."

"Maybe you can choose one or two subjects that you like. Divination is good. Take Ron with you!" Laura smiled at Harry, then cast her eyes on Fan Lin.

"What about you?"

"Oh, me?" Fan Lin picked up his course list, "It's similar to yours, magical animal protection, divination, and ancient magic runes."

"Ancient magic runes?" Laura exclaimed, "That's a difficult course. Without a lot of magical knowledge, studying this course is basically a waste of time!"

Laura stretched out a hand and picked up the course schedule that Fan Lin had placed on the book, but soon, Laura's body seemed to be petrified, and she stood there blankly, her expression was very panicked.

A black diary with a worn cover came into view. This was Tom's diary that Fanlin had picked up in Myrtle's toilet.

Laura remembered that this diary was placed together with some of her books, and then it happened that Malfoy came to trouble her that day. He took away all of Laura's books and pushed Laura to the ground.

Laura was very weak at the time and had no strength to stop Malfoy's behavior. She watched Malfoy go away as usual.

She knew that there was a demon living in this diary, a demon named Tom Riddle.

Tom in the diary kept eating away everything of Laura. She wanted to get rid of this thing completely. This was only realized after she discovered the attack for the first time.

She often felt that she had lost her perception of the outside world and often appeared in other places of Hogwarts. She had never been there in her consciousness.

She became weaker and weaker day by day. She knew that all this was caused by taking the diary. She vaguely felt that she was the attacker and it was she who opened the secret room of Slytherin. She was very scared.

When Malfoy snatched her books and left, she was glad that she had finally gotten rid of this evil black magic item.

She didn't know where Malfoy had thrown those things, she didn't want to look for them, or she didn't dare to look for them.

As it turned out, since she lost the diary, the attacks on the school stopped, and her complexion became slightly better.

But today, she saw the diary again in Fanlin, and she looked very terrified.

"Oh... In fact, I still have some basic knowledge of ancient magic patterns, I don't think..."

"Laura... Laura... Are you listening?" Fanlin looked at Laura, whose face turned pale again, in confusion. He felt very strange about this.

"Ah... I... I am listening!" Laura quickly lowered her head, and her body trembled slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Fanlin and the others looked at each other, and Laura's appearance made them feel very strange.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable there? How about we go with you to Madam Pomfrey to have a look?"

"Ah... no... no need, I'm fine!" Laura forced a smile.

"Can you tell me how you got him?"

"What?" Fanlin looked at Laura in confusion, "Who is he?"

"It's... it's this book... where did you get him..." Laura pointed at Tom Riddle's diary with a trembling finger, and her expression became more and more panicked.

"You mean this one?" Fanlin just wanted to pick up Tom Riddle's diary, but Laura was faster than him and picked up the diary first.

"Uh... I picked him up in a toilet. He was soaked in water with a bunch of books at the time." Fanlin smiled bitterly, and Laura's reaction made him a little confused.

"A toilet?" Laura seemed to ask Fanlin, but she nodded again, which made her look very strange.

"Yes, and it was soaked in water with many books..." Fanlin nodded, "What's wrong Laura? Is this your thing?"

"Ah... no... no..." Laura didn't dare to look at the four of them, and there was an undisguised panic in her words. But Laura held the diary tightly in her arms with one hand, and she didn't mean to let go at all.

"Laura... you... are you okay?" Fan Lin looked at Laura in confusion. Laura was very wrong today, just like the state more than a month ago, and even a little neurotic.

"I... I'm fine..." Laura took two steps back holding the diary, "I'm fine... Fan Lin... Can you give this diary back to me, he is..."

"What is it? Laura?" Fan Lin stood up, and things were vaguely bad.

"Very... very... very dangerous!" As she spoke, Laura's body kept retreating.

"Be careful, Laura." Hermione exclaimed, she quickly stood up and grabbed Laura with her hands, but before Hermione's hand completely touched Laura's body, Laura's next reaction shocked the four of them.

"Don't touch me, you dirty mudblood." The voice was angry, like a roar, but it didn't sound like Laura's voice.

Hermione's hand stopped in the air, and she looked at Laura in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

"Hold... Sorry, Hermione, I'm not..." Laura couldn't say anything. She covered her mouth with one hand and held Tom Riddle's diary tightly with the other hand. She wanted to leave here. (To be continued)
