Harry began to study Voldemort's diary.
Ever since he had "accidentally" dripped a bit of ink onto it, he'd gained a new pen pal—someone he could "talk" to about anything.
He told Riddle that his name was Yeye.
Every time Harry saw the words "Hey, Yeye…" appear on the page, only he knew what kind of thoughts crossed his mind.
Harry fully embraced the role of an idiotic, hormone-fueled adolescent with a bad case of puberty syndrome.
He poured out his "heart" to Riddle with things like:
"Riddle, I think I like two girls at once. What should I do? Am I a terrible person?"
"Riddle, I've been getting all these love letters from girls I don't even know. What should I do? Should I really keep being this perfect? It's such a burden."
"Riddle, I read a hilarious joke today! Listen: there was this guy who looked like an onion… and as he walked, he started crying…"
"Riddle, here's another one: a piece of candy was walking through the Arctic and said, 'It's so cold!' — then it turned into rock candy…"
"Riddle… are you still a virgin?"
Riddle: "…"
Riddle was on the verge of losing his mind.
How could such a person exist? This Yeye either bombarded him with teenage love troubles or endless stupid jokes. Riddle was practically freezing to death inside his own diary.
Whenever he tried to subtly steer the conversation toward something meaningful—like Dumbledore, Snape, or Harry Potter—"Yeye" would always answer:
"Oh, Dumbledore? Just an old fossil. Eats too much cream cake—he's probably lost all his teeth by now. Not much to say. Let's talk about my girlfriends instead."
"Snape? Always looks like someone owes him millions. Must've been dumped by his girlfriend. Not much to say. Let's talk about my girlfriends instead."
"Harry Potter? Aside from being a bit more handsome, smarter, and more popular than me, there's really nothing special about him. Anyway, let's talk about—my girlfriends!"
What infuriated Riddle most was that he had to keep a polite tone and pretend to be patient—offering psychological counseling to this insufferable idiot.
Riddle swore that once he gained control over the basilisk in the Chamber, he would make sure this "Yeye" died a miserable death.
The two of them "chatted happily."
Harry's original plan was to pretend to be possessed—do things like writing messages in blood on the walls—to advance the plot until Voldemort eventually revealed himself for a classic villain's monologue before his downfall.
But then he remembered… he had already blocked Voldemort's control magic.
How could he convincingly act possessed if Voldemort couldn't actually control him? He had no idea what Voldemort's plans or timing were.
For instance, if Voldemort wanted to cause the first wave of terror on Halloween, Harry had planned to write something like:
"Tremble, Earthlings!"
But instead, he might end up writing:
"Perish, my little dumplings!"
Harry could just picture Voldemort's confused face.
"Wait, didn't I already possess you? Why aren't you listening? Did you eat too many chicken claws or something?"
What an awkward scenario that would be. Poor Voldemort would be devastated.
But if Harry loosened his mental defenses and let Voldemort fully possess him—then it would truly be over.
The next morning, the wizarding world might see headlines like:
"The Boy Who Lived Found Dead at Hogwarts! Suicide Note Reveals Heartbreak and Two-Timing Scandal!"
(Author's note: Maybe I'll end the story that way someday—Harry commits suicide, Voldemort resurrects, the world falls.)
No, better to find a "stand-in" according to the original plot with Ginny, Harry thought.
Having too much power could be such a hassle.
He pondered who could play that role.
Hmm… someone timid, with a few flaws in character…
Ah yes—Astoria was the perfect choice! She fit Voldemort's selection criteria exactly.
A little scare, and she'd immediately fall in line.
Tch. You beast.
Hermione? Forget it. Harry was sure her first reaction would be to march straight to Professor McGonagall, holding the diary with both hands and saying, "Professor! I found this talking notebook—is it a Dark artifact?"
Seamus? Not close enough.
Neville? Too good a friend—next.
Fred and George? Who knew what chaos those two would cause?
Malfoy? Nah, he'd been through enough already.
Then suddenly—Harry thought of someone.
Ron.
Harry felt a faint twinge of guilt. I helped Ginny, and now I'm throwing her brother under the bus.
But that guilt vanished just as fast.
He'd make it up to him later somehow.
Before that, he had to set the stage.
Harry wrote in the diary:
"Hi, Riddle."
"Hello, Yeye."
"I hate to say this, but I have to tell you goodbye."
"What? Why? What happened?" Riddle asked quickly.
"I wrote to my parents about you. They warned me that anything intelligent might be a Dark artifact. They told me to turn you in to Professor Dumbledore immediately."
(Never mind that Harry's 'parents' were completely made up.)
"No—don't!" Riddle panicked.
He had just been reawakened as a Horcrux—was he about to die again?
If he ended up in Dumbledore's hands, there'd be no escape.
Riddle's world turned gray.
But Harry went on:
"Still, I don't believe them. You've always been my good friend. But I'm a good boy, and I can't disobey my parents."
"So, I've decided to get rid of you."
"Goodbye, Riddle—from your Grandpa."
Riddle's emotions were a mess. On the one hand, he was finally free from Harry's torment—no more suffering under this lunatic. On the other, he was being abandoned. How long would it take before someone else found him again?
But there would be another chance.
Even if it took ten years—Lord Voldemort never gave up so easily!
With a complex mix of resentment and relief, Riddle wrote one last line:
"Goodbye, Grandpa—"
After tossing the diary away, Harry held back his laughter for an entire month.
Finally, he couldn't contain it anymore.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA—!!!"
