Except because Horcruxes are inherently defensive devices(their primary purpose is to enable a tortured form of immortality, after all), you probably don't want them disguised as something that might end up being destroyed or otherwise misused, like a textbook on the Dark Arts.
End game Voldemort is insane, early tom riddle not so much when he was smarter back then wouldn't of made one of somthing most light wizards would burn on sight.
There's nothing stopping us from going back to that at a later date. We're keeping the book.
Well, in all fairness, Voldemort chose the diary as his first Horcrux because he considered it his proof he was descended from Salazar Slytherin. It held enormous sentimental value - he didn't do it because he wanted his evil soul-vessel to be nondescript. All of his other Horcruxes(or the intentional ones, at least) were flashy, historically important objects.
The vote is to be scared and not go to that chapter again, would be out of character to go to it again after deciding to avoid it.
Jermary 2.0 ftw
It's a chapter that's literally unfindable on the same type of protection as the Mirror of Erised.
Shadenight123 did a Death eater protag quest where he attempted to help Voldemort come back to life.
That's not quite right. That's the sequel to like two different quests. The title is a reference to the fact that everyone decided that they could take Voldemort's delicious candy and than once they were full run away to mainland Europe to conquer it for the greater good. I can't even fathom why people thought it was a good idea. In Welcome to Azkaban they proceeded to follow Voldemort's advice to go to Beauxbatons because listening to Voldemort had never hurt them before, right? Ended up playing as his sister most of that quest because jack all was going down in France do to being unfamiliar with the setting and not having any of Jeremiah's friends around.
The same culture which redacted Voldemort's name so hard that nobody said it even less than a generation away from it? And which lost his birth name entirely.
Ollivanders was legitimately shocked to learn we knew literally nothing about Voldemort - not even a reaction to You-Know-Who. I think Hogwarts will have *some* resources on the subject, and if all else fails we can just ask the History of Magic Professor or, hey, we can just get close to Professor Longbottom! You hear from one of your friends he fought in the War, he's bound to know something.
The former is because of the taboo spell on Voldy's name and the latter because he and some Death Eaters probably went to a great length to erase his half blood origins.
iirc, that taboo spell wasn't really a thing in full force until he was alive and kicking and had taken over the Ministry. People reacted like that to his name because he was basically worse than wizard Hitler - a boogeyman looming large over their collective cultural conscience.
Yep, it wasn't a thing until he had the minister's resources to use.
Tell that to someone who lived through either of his reigns of terror. I mean, Voldemort didn't even have the Elder Wand until the end and he basically only lost because he outdid himself.
