After Filch was petrified, it was as if some key switch was turned on, and the gears began to turn slowly.
"...crybaby...face covered with acne..."
Not far away came Peeves's excited shout.
Without having time to think, Kyle immediately ordered the basilisk to return to the secret room, then grabbed the mop stained with red paint and quickly wrote a few words on the wall.
The secret room has been opened,
Be wary of those who are enemies of the heir.
Then Kyle threw the mop and turned to run.
Meanwhile, Peeves had chased Myrtle to the third floor.
In just a moment of turning around, the man and two ghosts bumped into each other.
Myrtle didn't see Kyle because she was covering her face, so she flew straight past him, but Peeves stopped.
Peeves looked at Filch, who was motionless beside him, and the words on the wall, and said excitedly, "You did it, little Kyle, what bad idea are you up to now?"
"Well... this is a big plan..." Kyle asked bravely, "But can you keep it a secret for me, Peeves?"
"I won't keep a secret for little Kyle..." Peeves grinned, "I'm going to tell Professor Snape all this and watch you get put in detention!"
"Five big bags of balloons!"
Kyle gradually calmed down and didn't waste any words. He stretched out his hand and said, "Plus a box of dung eggs and a set of wolf-fang flying saucers..."
"Oh, I love your big plan!"
Peeves' smile widened, "Okay, okay... I didn't see anything today."
"So, deal?" Kyle smiled.
"Deal!" Peeves' eyes rolled and flew around him, "But I'm still short of a weapon, so I'll take this one first."
Kyle suddenly felt his hand lighten; the diary he had been holding was snatched away.
Peeves, who got the diary, didn't even give Kyle a chance to speak, and immediately flew away laughing.
And to make matters worse, Harry, Hermione and Ron were also chasing Myrtle... and Mrs. Norris had just appeared on the stairs.
Kyle cursed in his heart. He was now a person outside of time. He absolutely could not be like Harry was back then, being blocked here by Mrs. Norris.
There was no choice but to give up chasing Peeves and ran into the bathroom not far away.
Myrtle had returned and was sitting on top of the sink crying.
Kyle did not disturb her. After taking a look at the closed secret room, he quickly put the messy "explosion textbooks" on the ground in the positions he remembered.
"I" will come over to check the situation in a while, so he must restore the place to its original state now.
But when doing these things, Kyle felt so ridiculous.
What is this... I spent months searching for clues, only to find out in the end that I was the enemy!
I have to say that this kind of experience is quite explosive even in the magic world, and I actually caught up with it...
The voices of the little wizards talking could be heard outside the door.
Kai looked at the "exploded textbooks" that had been rearranged on the ground. He walked out of the bathroom only after he was sure that there was no problem. He also put the feather he had taken out earlier back into the crack of the door.

Chapter 325 The Lost Diary
Accompanied by Mrs. Norris's sharp cries, all the little wizards were attracted.
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...
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.
He had summoned a basilisk in the secret room before, which means that the entrance to the statue had actually been opened at that time.
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 made a hissing sound... and summoned the basilisk.
