Kyle, who was under the Disillusionment Spell, stood at the back, observing everything that happened next calmly.

As remembered, Filch and Harry were found on the third floor and they took him as the heir...

The professors also arrived and took Filch, Harry and the other two away. The prefects began to lead the students back to the common room.

After the crowd gradually dispersed, Kyle discovered awkwardly that he seemed to have nowhere to go.

He definitely couldn't go back to the dormitory, but it was only Halloween and there were still several months before his original date. What was he going to do during this time? He couldn't just wander around the castle all the time.

Kyle walked up the stairs to the eighth floor.

Myrtle was still in the bathroom, and "he" would be there soon. He definitely couldn't go back to the Chamber of Secrets now, so he decided to go to the Room of Requirement.

It seems that's the only place I can go now.

"I need a place to rest."

A door appeared in the middle of the corridor. Kyle opened it and walked in... In an instant, all his previous troubles disappeared.

The room is so grand.

The spacious four-poster bed is more than three times larger than the ones in the dormitory. It is soft and comfortable, and you won’t want to get up once you lie down on it.

Next to the bed was an equally large desk, on which was laid parchment, quills and ink.

Further ahead are different rooms, including the dining room... bathroom... study... everything you need.

Kyle even saw crystal wizard chess, crackling explosion cards, and various different flying brooms in one room...but these brooms were a bit old models, and the best one was just a five-star sweep.

But it doesn't matter, after all, who would play with a broomstick in the room... Kyle wouldn't.

The ceiling is enchanted just like the one in the auditorium, but the difference here is that it can be adjusted at will.

If Kyle wanted, he could make the place full of sunshine all day, lie on the bed and look at the stars, or drink tea and read a book in the sound of rain...

It's just perfect.

As for the problem of eating, it is easy to solve. The elves in the kitchen can deliver food to anywhere.

Kyle looked around and suddenly felt that a few months was not enough. If possible, he even wanted to live here until graduation... and then apply for a professor position and come back to live here.

Although this is a bit unlikely.

After finding a place to stay, Kyle returned to the castle and found Peeves on the sixth floor, who was painting a turtle on a suit of armor with a small brush.

"That diary?" Peeves tilted his head and thought for a while. "I threw it away... It was very useful. The little brat screamed very loudly."

Kyle's eyes twitched, "Where did you throw it..."

"I don't know." Peeves said matter-of-factly.

"A box of dung eggs!"

Peeves still shook his head, "I really don't remember, who would care about things thrown away.

You can look for it yourself, it may be on the third floor, or the fifth floor, or the seventh floor..."

For a whole night, Kyle searched almost every floor, risking being discovered by the professor.

As the sky gradually brightened, Kyle, who had found nothing, returned to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

The diary is lost and no one knows where it is now.

Kyle sat down at his desk, thinking about Peeves' last words.

"The red-haired brat fell down out of fright, Potter threatened to go find the Bloody Baron, and then I ran away... that bad guy."

Red Hair, and Potter... According to Peeves, the person who was hit in the end should be Ron, and the diary should have been taken away by one of them.

Harry? Or Ron? Kyle stood up and lay down on the soft big bed.

He originally thought that he was the heir, but now it seems that he is not.

The basilisk suddenly coming out of the bathroom before was probably just a coincidence.

But the sudden appearance of the Big Four made him forget about this matter.

The basilisk must have followed him out of the secret room.

And what Riddle said.

Timid...cowardly...future servant...

The only person who perfectly fits these descriptions is probably the rat beside Ron, Peter Pettigrew.

Could it be him?

…

For the next period of time, Kyle lived in the Room of Requirement.

There had been peace in the castle, and everything was just as he remembered.

And just like that, time quickly came to November.

During the first Quidditch game, which was the day when Professor Carey Dibbagge was attacked, Kyle left the Room of Requirement early and went to the Chamber of Secrets.

Kyle originally thought he had to wait until night, but less than two hours later, he heard a rustling noise outside.

Kyle quickly hid in the shadows near the gate.

The door opened and in floated the ghostly form of Riddle, followed by a rat.

"Peter…you really should find a wand."

Riddle said softly, "I really don't understand. If you can even learn Animagus, why can't you change back without a wand?"

The rat stopped and banged its head against the floor.

"Don't be nervous, Peter. I don't know what my future will be like, but right now, I don't mean to blame you."

Riddle said, "You did a great job and are a very good follower."

He pointed to the diary and the mouse quickly climbed up.

The fur on the rat became a little darker, but Riddle's silhouette became clearer.

"As a reward..." Riddle looked at the body that was becoming more and more stared at, and opened his arms in a daze, "Close your eyes, Peter!"

The mouse lowered his head quickly.

Riddle let out a hissing sound... and summoned the basilisk. "Go, purify the school and kill those mudbloods!"

At this time, Kyle had already left the secret room quietly under the cover of the Disillusionment Spell.

The basilisk made so much noise that neither Riddle nor Rat noticed that there was an extra person in the chamber.

Sure enough, it was the mouse that got the diary.

After returning to the castle, Kyle did not stop and went directly to the place where the second attack occurred.

Also on the third floor.

Carey Dibbagg was not at the Quidditch match. He was walking towards his office with a lawn mower in his arms.

But as he walked, he suddenly heard a strange friction sound, as if something huge was crawling on the ground.

The sound came from another corridor ahead.

Professor Bubaji, who was unaware of the situation, quickened his pace and wanted to go over to check the situation.
