Harry's just said that perhaps they know when they can take their time, the diary and the diadem and so on. That you weren't about to destroy the diary, you were too interested in it, and the same with Ginny when she found the diadem.
But it did know just what sorts of things to say, even if it wasn't particularly subtle. It was dashed perceptive, in fact. It offered me vengeance upon Auror Crouch straight away. And--it went on to talk about how what I'd done to Minister Fudge meant I was truly a dark wizard, that I couldn't be as good at dark arts if my soul weren't black and twisted.
If I'd been in another mood, what, or another sort of person, perhaps, I can see how it would have been dashed tempting to keep it and hold it to its promises.
And no, fiendfyre is decidedly not safe, even with all the precautions we could think to put in place. I shouldn't want to use it again even with 'proper' supervision. Nasty stuff, what.
