ADVICES AND QUESTIONS

After the chaos caused by the Polyjuice potion mishap, during which Hermione transformed into a cat, (Name) sought solace in the calm seclusion of her dorm room with Una, accompanied only by a fellow dormmate who was recuperating in the hospital wing.

As the Christmas break continued, the anticipation of returning to Hogwarts intensified among the professors, students and parents, who couldn't shake off the anxiety caused by the chamber of secrets' ongoing mysterious events.

Turning the pages of history in search of answers, the demiwitch mulled over the dark wizard known as Voldemort, pondering aloud, 'Had he, in his youth, studied in this school? His disdain for muggleborns and blood traitors was extremely clear...'

Many shivered at the name that had been narrated on the screen.

Una, her voice a mere whisper against the shell of (Name)'s ear, added softly, 'Perhaps... There could be a possibility, since no one had ever known who Voldemort really is...'

(Name) wrote down something in her book which are--
