"What diary?"
Seeing Lucas making a confused face, Draco pushed him aside and walked into the room.
"I'm talking about that black leather diary."
Looking across the desk, when Draco did not see the diary on it he was even more suspicious.
"During the summer vacation, I once saw that diary at home."
"I was skeptical at the time, my father would never use such an old thing."
"I wanted to see what was so magical about that diary, but my father gave me a harsh reprimand."
Draco sat on the soft bed with a frown on his face and looked at Lucas in scrutiny.
"Then school started, and I saw that you had the same diary."
"You said it was just a coincidence, that there is not only one black diary in this world."
"I thought it made sense, so I believe what you said."
"But just last night, I saw that diary again, and this time I looked at it carefully."
"That's when I realized that whether it's your diary, my father's, or the one Harry picked up yesterday, they were all exactly the same one."
Seeing Lucas frown, Draco knew he had guessed right.
He sighed: "Maybe there are many diaries with black covers in this world, but it is absolutely impossible for there to be two diaries with the same scratches and damaged positions."
"But I saw three such diaries, how could I not doubt it."
"So, what are you and my father planning? What is that diary, and why are you all throwing it away?"
Draco was filled with anger because he felt that Lucas and his father treated him like a child.
"Since I started to suspect, I have been investigating, and it happened that Harry was also investigating the truth of the Chamber of Secrets, so I went with him."
"What you and my father did should have something to do with the Chamber of Secrets, right? You guys opened the Chamber of Secrets?"
Lucas shook his head: "You are wrong!"
After finishing speaking, he turned around and took out a diary from the drawer.
"Is this what you mean?"
"this.…"
Looking at the old black leather diary that appeared in front of him Draco quickly snatched it over.
The same damage and old traces, and his careful inspection did not find any traces of Transfiguration.
Are there really two damaged diaries in this world?
Seeing his confused eyes Lucas sighed: "I admit, the one in your father's hand is the same one in my hand."
"But we have no conspiracy, and we wouldn't throw it away because this diary is very important to us."
Lucas looked a little disappointed.
He seemed to be sad because of the suspicion of a close friend.
He walked over to Draco, pulled out his wand and put it on the diary: "Revelio!"
The original blank diary gradually revealed densely packed cursive characters.
It was filled with detailed records about the revenue and expenditure of the Knockturn Alley Casino, the underground trading market, and the underground auction.
Draco looked dumbfounded at the content recorded in the book.
Looking at his best friend who had a sad face he didn't know how to explain it.
"Now you understand why you use an old diary? Things that look too good can easily attract people's attention."
"If the contents of this book are spread, both your father and I will be sanctioned by the Ministry of Magic."
"I know, I know!" Draco nodded and said.
"It's getting late, I'm going to sleep, you go back!"
Draco wanted to say something else, but seeing the expression on Lucas' face, he just walked out of the room with his head down.
The moment the door closed, Lucas let out a long breath. Fortunately, he was well prepared, otherwise he would be discovered by Draco today.
"It's not okay to go on like this. If I let Draco continue to follow Harry, maybe he will find out something."
Lucas sat on the edge of the bed and thought about it.
Then he picked up the cloak in the closet, tore apart the space and left the dormitory.
…
Slytherin common room.
Draco sat on the sofa and looked at the black lake overhead.
At this moment, his expression was full of annoyance, it looks like he regrets what he said just now.
Ding ~ Ding Ding ~ Ding
A special sound came from the door.
This sound was from the common room entrance and it rang four times at a specific frequency.
This is the code he agreed with Harry.
Draco sorted out his emotions and walked towards the door.
The corridor in the dungeons was pitch black and there was no one outside the common room.
He knew that Harry had an invisibility cloak, so he whispered, "Harry, is that you?"
As soon as the voice fell, footsteps sounded.
Draco didn't hesitate, and walked towards the direction of the sound.
When he came around the corner and was about to greet Harry there was no one in front of him.
Then footsteps sounded in front again.
In this way, Draco followed the footsteps to the second floor.
"Harry, what's the matter with you?"
Draco stepped forward and spoke impatiently while reaching out with a hand and holding his wand tightly in his other hand.
When he realized that the touch on his hand was not an invisibility cloak he immediately raised his wand.
It's a pity that Draco did not manage to utter a single spell when a pair of blood-red snake eyes appeared in front of his eyes.
Lucas helped Draco, making him lean against the wall when he was about to fall.
If Lucius Malfoy knew that Draco was petrified, he might mobilize the school board to impeach Dumbledore.
Apologizing to Draco in his mind, Lucas drew out his wand and cast a Confusion Charm on the portrait that had just woken up.
Finishing with what he came to do, he tore through space and returned to his dormitory.
Lucas did this out of several considerations.
First of all, if he lets Draco continue to doubt and investigate so much, it is hard to say what he could discover.
Don't look down on children raised by pure-blood families.
Secondly, he didn't want to end up with Draco also entering the Chamber of Secrets.
He even thought that it would be best for Harry to enter the Chamber of Secrets alone.
Now, Draco Malfoy, who was a good friend, was petrified, and Harry will definitely investigate more diligently.
It would be even more perfect if Ron could also be petrified.
In the end, the Malfoy child was attacked and Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic were to be held accountable.
Dumbledore's staying at school will make Lucas' future actions more difficult, so it is best if he leaves the school for now.
All Lucas needs to do is get Mr. Malfoy to mobilize the school board and get Dumbledore expelled from the school.
…
Draco Malfoy is petrified!
It's a bombshell for everyone.
Professor Snape showed a worried expression for the second time and took the lead rushing to the incident site first.
Looking at Draco standing against the wall, Snape's hands trembled a little.
"Severus, it's better to send Mr Malfoy to the infirmary as soon as possible."
Dumbledore finished speaking and looked behind him. Several Aurors stepped forward and loaded Draco onto the stretcher.
Professor Snape took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he had changed back to his previous appearance.
"Headmaster, what should we do next? And how should we explain it to Lucius Malfoy?"
Dumbledore didn't answer.
He, too, had a terrible headache at the moment.
At first he didn't think it would cause such serious consequences.
But as time went by, that figure hiding in the dark seemed to be getting more and more unscrupulous.
Even the Aurors are no deterrent now.
"I'll try to explain, Severus!"
"Heh!" After the familiar sneer, Professor Snape turned and walked towards his own House.
"I'm going to see if there are any idiots who have left the dormitory at this time."
Dumbledore turned his head and motioned for the others to get on with their work.
He stood alone in the corridor on the second floor looking out at the night sky.
"Harry, why is everyone involved in the accident either related to you, or you were there, and your Parseltongue..."
Dumbledore frowned and let out a long sigh.
…

Lucas immediately spotted several rewards glowing platinum.
