Chapter 234 The Missing Horcrux
Dobby's expression changed, and he looked at Ivan in surprise, wondering how he knew that the diary was difficult to destroy.
Of course, Ivan would not say that he saw it while reading a book in his previous life, but instead explained it in a different way.
"Because I have tried many times, and I didn't really find a way to destroy it until a few days ago. If you hadn't suddenly stolen that thing, I would have destroyed it long ago!"
Dobby's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, but if Ivan hadn't considered destroying the diary, he wouldn't have known that it was difficult to destroy, so he couldn't help but believe it.
"Tell me, where did you put that thing? We'd better destroy it as soon as possible!" Ivan asked anxiously.
Since Dobby didn't carry the Horcrux with him, he must have found a place to hide it, and there might be a risk of losing it.
Ivan didn't want anything unexpected to happen if Tom suddenly came out to cause trouble when he was fusing his second bloodline.
"But" Dobby said hesitantly, his ears drooping. "It's long gone sir!"
"Gone?" Ivan said in shock. "Why? I clearly used the isolation magic text to interrupt its magic power, so it shouldn't be able to affect you!"
Ivan didn't expect that Dobby couldn't even read a diary. Could the Horcrux be able to run away on its own?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ivan looked at Dobby with a dangerous look.
Dobby couldn't help but shudder and said with a slight trembling. "After Dobby got that thing, he always wanted to destroy it, but it turned out"
Two days ago, late at night, next to a roaring fireplace.
A short and ugly house elf was holding a diary wrapped in a white cover in his hand. He slapped it hard on the table again and again, making a "dong dong" sound.
"Bad thing, bad thing!" Seeing that the diary was not damaged at all, Dobby angrily threw it to the ground and stepped on it several times.
As a Horcrux, Tom Riddle was very aggrieved. Although his magic power was restricted by the isolation magic text, he could still barely sense what was happening in the outside world.
After being stolen by Dobby, Tom was very happy, thinking that he was finally free from the clutches of the little wizard.
Because he had seen this house elf when he was at Malfoy Manor, knew who the other person was, and thought Dobby was here to rescue him.
Then Tom Riddle discovered that this dirty house elf not only failed to save him, but instead tormented him to death.
In just a few hours, Tom experienced torture such as knife cutting, flooding, and impact.
Even if the Horcrux was strong enough, how could Tom Riddle not be angry when he was treated like this by a lowly house elf!
However, Dobby didn't care about his thoughts. He stretched out his index finger again, and a dazzling light instantly hit the Horcrux on the ground. The diary was knocked into the air, then turned around and returned to the original point.
The diary that fell to the ground was unscathed, but the cover that originally wrapped the diary had cracks.
[That's enough, you damn house elf! How dare you do such a thing without your master's order? ! 】The diary that fell on the ground started to flip through quickly, and black ink stains appeared on it!
But what greeted him was another dazzling white light, and the diary was hit again and flew into the sky. Tom Riddle was almost mad to death.
When he landed again, Tom was shocked to find that the dirty house elf opposite had actually put his left hand into the stove, screaming loudly that he wanted to punish it for its mistakes.
Tom Riddle was even speechless. How could he meet such a crazy house elf?
"Bad Dobby has been punished, and now it's your turn." Dobby murmured to himself with a trembling body, retracted his burned left hand, and turned his attention to the diary.
【What else do you want to do? Your tricks can't destroy me! ] Tom Riddle was a little scared for some reason. He couldn't predict what the crazy house elf in front of him would do to him.
Dobby didn't reply and picked up the diary with his right hand that was still intact.
Tom Riddle fought hard, and a burst of black energy suddenly surged out of the diary, corroding Dobby's right hand.
"Bad thing!" Dobby screamed angrily and threw the diary into the burning stove. A red light burst out from his index finger, and the flames in the fire rose.
The black diary was flowing in the flames, showing no signs of burning.
Dobby's ears drooped, showing a hint of disappointment.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps not far away.
Dobby's body trembled, and he reached for the notebook in the stove, but the sound of opening the door had already sounded.
Dobby snapped his fingers vigorously, used Apparition and disappeared.
The next moment, the side door of the hall was opened.
"Who was here just now?! It's strange, I clearly heard someone talking, where is that person?" The visitor looked around, there was no one around, only the stove was burning brightly.
Just as the visitor was about to turn around and leave, something suddenly flew out of the fire and landed in front of him.
The white cover on the diary was burnt black, and there were bursts of white smoke. The man glanced at it and didn't intend to pay attention to it.
However, the diary opened automatically, and the black ink stains on it slowly emerged.
"Dobby threw the diary into the stove, and when he went back to look for it, it was gone." Dobby blinked and said aggrievedly.
"Didn't you see what that person looked like?" Ivan had a headache. He finally caught the culprit who stole the Horcrux, but the Horcrux was actually lost by the other party.
Ivan finally understood how aggrieved Harry was in the original time and space, and Dobby came to cause trouble under the guise of helping.
"No, sir." Dobby shook his head. It ran out secretly this time and didn't want to be seen by others, so it waited for a long time to make sure the other party left before it dared to go back.
"Then did you hear that person's voice? Where was the diary lost?" Ivan sighed and then asked.
Dobby tried hard to remember, but he only heard footsteps and openings at that time, so he couldn't explain why.
As for the location, he remembered it very clearly. It was next to the fireplace in the large exhibition hall.
This is undoubtedly the worst news for Ivan. It means that the person who took the Horcrux may be anyone in the school.
