Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 122 Sanctuary
Tom Riddle took the parchment with the inscription of the ceremony and began to read it carefully, while Tyella stood nervously to the side.

In Tom Riddle's memory, Tyella dared not move, and thus behaved like a good student.

Finally, Tom Riddle, who had been engrossed in studying the human skin paper, let out a sigh of relief and looked up.

“This ritual will do!” Tom Riddle said. “This ritual can help your Professor Lockhart restore his magic—”

"Great! Thank you, Tom!" Tierra seized the opportunity and rushed forward to hug Tom Riddle.

Tyella had intended to read Tom Riddle's mind through physical contact, but for a moment, she hesitated as she embraced him—

He didn't read Tom Riddle's mind; he saw a broken, twisted soul enveloped by an ocean-like black power—

Tom Riddle gracefully pulled away from Tierra's embrace, then smiled politely and said:

"Tiera, why don't you go back first? I need to study this ritual some more."

It makes no mention of returning the three pages of parchment containing the ritual text to Tiera.

"Okay." Tiera didn't mind; these three were originally meant to be given to you anyway.

Then he was taken out of the diary.

Tierra tilted her head, looked at the diary, and recalled Tom Riddle's words and actions.

Tiera always felt like something was missing.

Then Tiera suddenly understood—

Tom Riddle seems unable to lie within his own world of memories!
After understanding, Tiera touched the diary with her hand.

Although Tom Riddle wasn't speaking, Tierra could still read his thoughts—

He is analyzing the entire ritual—

Tiera wasn't worried that Tom Riddle would notice anything amiss, because the entire arrangement of the two altars was directly copied from the "Summon Yog-Sothoth" section of the Necronomicon.

In other words, apart from deliberately adding a large number of praises, the altar and offerings of the ritual were completely correct.

Watching Tom Riddle mentally analyze the altars and magical structures of these rituals deepened Tiera's understanding of ritual magic.

Tierra, holding Tom Riddle's diary in one hand, leaned back on the sofa with her eyes closed, mentally processing Tom Riddle's ritual magic analysis.

He was shaken awake.

Tyrell opened her eyes and saw Harry's eyes filled with grievance—

"Tierra, why didn't you come to watch my training?" Harry said, feeling wronged.

Tiera, whose face was still flushed from just waking up, said in a hoarse voice:

"Sorry, Harry, I felt a little unwell after I got back to my dorm, so I took some medicine and slept for a while—"

"Who would have thought I'd oversleep..."

"Are you alright?" Harry placed one hand on Tierra's forehead and touched his own forehead with the other.

I hope I didn't infect Tiera.

Tierra heard what Harry was thinking.

Harry had just finished Quidditch training; his fingernails were covered in black grime, and he was covered in sweat and smelled of dust.

This caused Tiera, who was always a bit of a germaphobe, to frown slightly.

Teenage boys are great in every way, except they're not clean, especially after Harry started his intense Quidditch training. He hasn't showered for two days now.

“I’m fine, Harry,” Tyella said, then gently removed Harry’s hand from her forehead. “Go take a shower. I want to sleep here a little longer; I’m a bit tired.”

As she spoke, Tierra rolled over and squeezed herself further into the sofa.

Tom Riddle's analysis of the ritual was at a crucial point, and Tiera didn't want to miss it. The parchment had three pages; one page detailed the selection of the altar and offerings.

There are no restrictions on the offerings required to summon Yog-Sothoth.

It could be anything—a pen, a feather, a piece of paper, or even some rusty nails and odds and ends.

However, the arrangement of the altar is much more complicated.

Tiera did not tamper with either of these parts—

Because Tiera has not yet fully grasped the layout and magical configuration of the two altars.

He made changes to the prayer text of the ritual procedure and the old seal on the third page and the incantation used to inscribe it.

Tiera, who was focused on reading Tom Riddle's analysis of the dual altar ritual with her eyes closed, felt someone quietly sit down next to her and cover her with a blanket.

Judging from the scent of Potter's shampoo lingering around Tyella's nose, Tyella believes that the person sitting next to her is Harry Potter.

But Tierra didn't open her eyes. Instead, she shifted to a more comfortable position and continued reading Tom Riddle's analysis—

Now is the crucial moment, and Tiera doesn't want to miss it.

Three days later, Tom Riddle told Tyella how to open the Chamber of Secrets—

“Let’s go, Tierra, let’s open the secret chamber,” Tom Riddle suddenly said. “To help your Professor Lockhart regain his strength, we need some things inside the chamber to assist us.”

“Okay,” Tierra replied, but at the same time, Tierra knew in her heart that Tom Riddle just wanted the basilisk to monitor her.

After all, Tyrell has now "fallen out of love" and the trust between people has disappeared. Tom Riddle certainly wouldn't entrust such an important ceremony to Tyrell without a watchful eye.

"How do we get into the secret chamber?" Tierra asked.

It's 3:30 in the morning. Tierra has merged with the "Parasite" into a thin piece of clothing, with Tom Riddle's diary rolled up in one sleeve, and the "Inheritor" is by her side.

“Let’s go to the second floor first,” Tom Riddle replied.

Tierra flew out of her dormitory window and landed lightly on the second floor.

“Alaho open—” Tiera said to a locked window.

The window opened with a click, and Tierra and the "Inheritor" squeezed in through the crack.

“I’m on the second floor now,” Tierra said to Tom Riddle.

“Find an abandoned girls’ restroom,” Tom Riddle continued.

"The girls' restroom...?" Tierra said, feigning surprise. "This...this isn't appropriate..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Tom Riddle seemed to be getting impatient with Tierra's rambling. "The entrance to the secret chamber was later converted into a girls' restroom, and as far as I know, no one uses that restroom anymore!"

"Oh, okay." Tierra quickly found Myrtle's washroom—

At the door of the washroom, Tiera transformed back into human form, holding Tom Riddle's diary in one hand and having the "Inheritor" shield her eyes.

But just before stepping into the restroom, Tiera suddenly paused.

They stepped back a little further and looked at the door to the washroom.

When I become successful in the future, I will make this my sanctuary.

Tiera thought to herself.

Then, he casually drew a few lines and patterns on his chest and said, half-seriously and half-jokingly:
"May I walk in the restroom as if I were walking in Your divine kingdom, Amen—"
