"... I remember I seemed to have told you both that if you violate school rules again, I will have to expel you."
Dumbledore said to Harry and Ron.
Ron opened his mouth in horror.
"It just goes to show that even the best among us sometimes have to walk the talk."
Dumbledore continued with a smile,
"You both received awards for special contributions to the school, and - let me see - by the way, you each earned a hundred points for Gryffindor.
And of course you, Miss Granger, you won fifty points for Gryffindor."
Ron's face suddenly turned bright pink, and his mouth closed.
"Now, it's time for you to rest in bed. Maybe you should also drink a large glass of steaming chocolate milk. I always think that is very good for improving our mood."
Headmaster Dumbledore finally lowered his head and winked at them kindly.
The diary is solved.
But its impact goes beyond that.
Harry and Ron were called away by Dumbledore. They told them exactly how they used Sean's snake teeth to solve the diary. Harry subconsciously skipped the dream part. He always felt that the principal should not know about Hogwarts Castle Spirit.
But what the principal said next made him widen his eyes.
Hope Cottage li.
Hermione looked at Harry who had returned and asked:
"So who is Tom Riddle? Have you ever asked Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Harry was sitting by the fire, not knowing what he was thinking:
"It's Voldemort."
This statement shocked several people.
But it does not include Sean, because he has already arrived at Hagrid's Hut.
Once the diary is solved, Hogwarts will enter a truly peaceful time.
Sean needs to develop Basilisk cookies as soon as possible--his alchemy progress should be improved.
In addition, there is a special guy waiting for him to deal with... a special, elusive... mouse.
As for now, he may be able to help Hagrid reverse the case.
For many years, Hagrid has lived as the murderer of Moaning Myrtle.
Of course, he also has some problems himself, raising wolf cubs under the bed, raising Acromantula privately...
It's hard to imagine what his roommate would be like.
"Sean, come in quickly--"
Hagrid was outside the house, picking Pumpkins from the ground. After a while, Professor Flitwick would carve the huge Pumpkins he planted into lanterns. This was something that made him very proud.
"No, Hagrid,"
Sean said that he waved his magic wand and a stone rolled over and turned into a table and chairs.
"Look at this..."
Sean handed over a copy of the diary.
Hagrid took the diary inexplicably and soon stood still in the mud.
"Daily Prophet sent reporters, Basilisk's molted skin was also found, Moaning Myrtle will help testify that the murderer is Basilisk...
You are innocent, Hagrid, and everyone will know it."
Sean said softly.
"Ah, ah..."
Big tears seeped into Hagrid's beard.
Rumors about this Halloween Eve, Hogwarts are spreading.
It was raining heavily outside the window, so Great Hall became a good place to spread rumors.
"Have you heard about Chamber of Secrets? And Heir of Slytherin?"
A Hufflepuff whispered.
"That goes without saying!"
The shorter Ernie wanted to say something more, but his mouth was covered.
Because a group of Slytherin happened to pass by.
"... Of course I know, although my father refused to tell me anything about the circumstances when Chamber of Secrets was opened.
Of course, that was fifty years ago, and he wasn't born yet, but he knew everything.
He said that all this is confidential and only a few people will know."
Malfoy paused, as if waiting for something.
Sure enough, soon someone started to praise it.
Even several senior Slytherin listened with interest.
"Okay, let me tell you: Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and last time, a Mudblood died.
So, if we open it again, I dare say that one Mudblood will die this time, it's just a matter of time... I hope it's Granger."
He said with relish.
"What about Heir of Slytherin? Master Malfoy?"
Someone is asking.
"Heh--"
Malfoy raised his face and said nothing, but everyone knew what he meant.
Pansy looked infatuated with him, while Goyle and Crabbe raised their fat faces.
They walked past the fireplace in the corner. They had never dared to walk here before, but now they had forgotten about it.
"Only people with noble blood can do it. As for some despicable people..."
Theodore spoke pointedly.
"Shut up! Theodore!"
Malfoy hurriedly stopped his provocation.
Sean was holding the copy <Daily Prophet>. When he looked up, Malfoy and others had already fled quickly.
"I hope their heads are harder than Basilisk."
Ron curled his lips. If they knew that Sean defeated the fifteen-meter-long Basilisk alone with a sword, it would be very difficult for them to look at Sean.
Tonight at dinner,
The three Harry still pretended to be casual and asked Sean how to fight against Basilisk.
"I used some Transfiguration..."
As soon as Sean opened his mouth, Harry and the others were not ready to listen.
Well, they should have thought of it earlier. Even if Sean summons a shooting star from the sky, he will only say:
"I used a Summoning Charm."
This made Sean a little confused, but it didn't matter.
Rita will come to Hogwarts tomorrow to write a brand new report for Hagrid. He was once imprisoned unjustly and expelled from school. Now, he needs to reverse his case.
This difficulty is not low.
Ministry of Magic may not do such a thankless thing.
But Sean doesn't care too much. The important thing is that people should know that Hagrid was wrongly accused.
Although Sean does not think it is right for Hagrid to raise wolf cubs and Acromantula privately, it is obvious that the crime of Tom should not be imposed on him.
night.
Library.
Restricted Section is at the back of Library. Sean avoids the rope that separates these books from other collections and enters them with a little excitement.
Maybe he can find some books related to Basilisk...
Restricted Section There are too many books, some of them with peeling, faded gilt letters spelling out confusing words;
Some books have no titles at all. One book has a dark stain on it, which looks like a blood stain and looks very scary;
Sean even heard waves of faint whispers coming from the book.
Soon, his eyes were attracted by a book. When Sean walked in, it emitted a faint, evil-smelling smoke, and also emitted a series of blood-curdling screams.
It's a small book with a black and silver cover,
It says: <Deadly Magic>.
