The Very Secret Diary | A story was given out that the girl had died in a freak accident. They gave me a nice, shiny, engraved trophy for my trouble and warned me to keep my mouth shut. But I knew it could happen again. The monster lived on, and the one who had the power to release it was not imprisoned. | 33101652 | https://cdn.podtrificustotalus.com/chamber/213TheVerySecretDiary.mp3 | 45:15 | 2 | 13 | /pottermore/213.webp |

It's Monday and that means a new episode of Podtrificus Totalus, the universe's favorite Harry Potter podcast!
In this week's chapter, Harry finds a mystery diary that belonged to a T.M. Riddle fifty years ago -- the same amount of time that has passed since the Chamber of Secrets was last opened. A Valentine's Day disaster ends up revealing the diary's secrets, and Harry learns who opened the Chamber last time.
