Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

Anyway, since then, the half-blood giant has become a die-hard supporter of Dumbledore. He belongs to the type that even if he hears someone say something bad about Dumbledore, he will retaliate with his old fist.

People from the Snake Court have some criticisms about this, often ridiculing him in private as "Dumbledore raised a fierce dog with a small amount of money".

Of course, they only dared to say this secretly.

After working peacefully for decades, the unforgettable pain has gradually smoothed over time.And Lockhart also conveyed to him the meaning of the principal, saying that no matter what happened, he should let it go after 50 years, and asked him if he would like to be a professor of the protection of magical creatures.

It's hard to describe Hagrid's mood at that time—when a person has lived in a daze

After ten years, when I finally see the first ray of light in life, I am afraid that anyone's feeling is that joy is mixed with confusion and bewilderment.

But he hadn't forgotten about the Chamber of Secrets, and people with "records" couldn't hold public office.

Because Hogwarts does not have to pay tuition fees, most of the school’s running funds come from the Ministry of Magic’s appropriation, so Hogwarts professors are also public positions in a sense and need to be reviewed.

But Lockhart told him that the matter of the Chamber of Secrets would soon be found out, and his reputation tarnished by Voldemort could be restored.

"Based on what I know about the Ministry of Magic, they must not be willing to bring up the unjust, false and wrongly convicted case back then. As long as you are willing not to pursue this matter during the referral, you can get more than restoring your reputation."

To be honest, Hagrid was really moved.

In the end, although he told Lockhart that he had to think about it before replying to Dumbledore, Lockhart could see that he couldn't waver for long.

Hagrid seemed to have seen the nightmare go away, and a golden road appeared in front of him.

He tried not to think about it, and pretended that he hadn't heard anything, and continued to act as if nothing had happened.But that afternoon, Harry Potter and his two little friends rushed over and asked him if he knew a guy named Tom Riddle.

——Nonsense, even if you turn into ashes, you still know that bastard!

"If we didn't already know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, we might really have thought it was you who opened the Chamber of Secrets." Harry didn't notice Hagrid's expression, and said unconsciously, "But we know now, That Tom Riddle must have made a mistake too..."

he?Made a mistake?hum..."

Hagrid slammed the cup on the small wooden table, and a crack appeared in the clay cup sintered with red clay, and the tea seeped out from the bottom of the cup.

Hermione reacted quickly: "It's back to normal! Clean it up!"

"Thanks, Hermione...I couldn't help it just now. That guy...he didn't make a mistake, it was a frame!" Hagrid looked angrily, "I just kept an acromantula!"

Ron trembled: "I think... this one is not much better than the Basilisk, really..."

Harry originally thought that Tom Riddle had hurriedly found a suspect in order not to go back to the orphanage, but now hearing what Hagrid said, there seemed to be something else behind this matter.

"Why did Tom Riddle frame you?" Harry asked curiously.

"Who knows." Hagrid replied in a muffled voice. "Anyway, he never explained why when he killed people and committed terrorist activities later...he's just bad."

"He still kills?" Harry was startled, "Tom Riddle—is he a bad guy? "

This time it turned into Hagrid who was surprised: "He killed your parents, haha

profit! "

Harry:? ! !

Only then did the two realize that they had made a big oolong with each other at the same time.

Harry was surprised that Hagrid hadn't figured out who was behind the scenes for 50 years, and Hagrid was surprised that Harry and the three of them didn't even know that Tom Riddle was Voldemort.

So he told Harry about it.Including who Tom Riddle is and what he did when he was in school.

After listening to Hagrid's narration, if anger can ignite paper, then Harry's current level of anger is comparable to that of Fierce Fire.

He took the diary out of his knapsack on the spot and threw it into the fireplace in Hagrid's room.

The 15-year-old Voldemort actually wanted to use the magic of the diary to mislead him, making him think that the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was Hagrid. If it wasn't for him... well, if it wasn't for Hermione who had already guessed that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk, he might have believed it .

It's a pity that not only was the diary not burned by the flames in the fireplace, but a large stream of foul-smelling ink spewed out from the pages of the book, dousing the flames around the book.

"Get it out, let's go find Dumbledore!" Hermione called to Harry.

"Let me do it! It's better not to touch such a dangerous thing with your hands." Hagrid yelled and brought the poker, and stretched it through the few remaining flames of the fireplace, trying to put the diary Ben clamped.

But maybe the act of burning just now stimulated the diary, maybe the word "Dumbledore" awakened some kind of protective magic in the diary.In short, when Hagrid's poker was stretched out, the diary immediately sprayed out a jet of dark green ink, melting the front end of the poker into a strange-looking mass.

Not only that, just after Hagrid retracted the tongs in surprise, the ink sprayed out of the diary just now was dried by the flames and turned into a pile of bright green powder.

The diary seemed to be spiritual, and quickly flipped its pages, blowing the powder into the flames of the fireplace.

"Gryffindor common room!" A voice suddenly came from the diary

That voice was very familiar to Harry - it was that voice, the one who had taken him "swimming" a memory in that diary last night.

So when it disappeared into Hagrid's fireplace sprayed with Floo powder, Harry momentarily

Half a meeting has not responded yet.

By the time he realized what had happened, it was too late.

"It's back in Gryffindor!"

Harry rushed to the fireplace, looked at the flames that were almost extinguished, and chased

Moji: "Hagrid! Do you still have floo powder here? We have to go back quickly."

But Hagrid was also dumbfounded: "Floo powder? I never prepare that kind of thing here.

"why?!"

"Because there are not many fireplaces in the world that I can get into." Hagrid scratched his head, "The Floo cable of this fireplace is left by the previous hunting ground guard. If it wasn't for it, I would have replaced it a long time ago. Live in a bigger wooden house."

"Oops!" The three governors were about to fail.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Because he hasn't learned any flying spells yet, and Harry hasn't learned the Flying Curse at this time, he can summon his Nimbus 2000, so if the three of them want to return to the castle, they still have to run.

When they climbed up the mountain from the hunting ground on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, entered the castle through the viaduct, and climbed several floors to return to the Gryffindor common room, the scene they least wanted to see happened.

The Gryffindor students gathered around the door of the lounge in panic, arguing about the line next to the door.

——"Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever."

The three of them knew without asking, who the "she" was here.

Harry hates himself so much now, if he didn't throw the diary into the fireplace, but took it directly to Dumbledore, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so much trouble

If Hagrid hadn't told himself who Tom Riddle was, he might have thought he was a responsible prefect, and the accusation on Hagrid was only because of a misunderstanding, or because he really didn't want to go back to the Muggle orphanage.

Because of anger, he did radical things, and the consequence of doing radical things is that the consequences will become unpredictable. This lesson is enough for Harry to remember for a long time

But he obviously didn't have any time to reflect on it now, because the matter of rescuing Ginny was urgent.

"Let's go!" He gritted his teeth and said to his two companions, "Go to the bathroom, we have to rescue Ginny."

Ron immediately agreed, but Hermione held them back.

how? "Harry thought he was going to talk himself out of it and let the professors deal with it.

But Hermione shook her head solemnly: "I'm not saying we shouldn't go, but we should be prepared before we go. You're completely stunned by anger, and if you go on rashly, you'll only get caught in the mystery." Human trap."

"Trap? I want to see what's waiting for us!" Ron's condition was not much better than Harry's at this time.

Hermione had to calm down his two little friends: "But don't forget, what we are going to face is the mysterious man when he was a student, and there is a basilisk beside him now, no matter which one we can't Easy to deal with, and now they're combined... get it?"

"If there is no way to deal with it, we have to deal with it." Harry has obviously gotten into a dead end.

"Yeah, of course we're going to beat them. But we're just three sophomores, it's a fact, we have to measure ourselves before we fight...

Hermione affirmed Harry's statement at first, so that the two of them would not be anxious, but then began to state her own opinion.

Io even if Harry and I can occasionally beat a third year or two in the dueling ring, or even a fourth year, we've never won against a sixth year, and the one who can't even be named... his The level is not as high as that of sixth graders, you know. "

This simple comparison was very convincing. Harry and Ron suddenly became sober, but at the same time they began to panic.

"Then what should we do?" Ron muttered to himself, "But, she is also a victim now, is it too late for us to tell Dumbledore the location of the Chamber of Secrets and how to open it?"

"In that case, we will be expelled immediately." Harry thought of something:

"Hiding the important information about the clues in the chamber of secrets from the school for so long, and covering up for Ginny... No matter what lies we make up, it's useless."

Thinking of this, Harry had already made up his mind.

Even if he died, he didn't want to be expelled from Hogwarts.Because that would mean he'd have to go back to number four, Privet Drive, live with the Dursleys, maybe wear Dudley's old school uniform, go to Stonewall, make up two years of junior high, and be— A group of students who are younger than him laugh at...

"I'm going to take the Christmas present that Lockhart gave us so we don't have to look the basilisk in the eye... I'll deal with the snake then. You two go deal with Tom Riddle together, Hermione with That umbrella defense, Ron, you use that lens to check his weaknesses..."

"Oh, my God..." Ron showed an expression of disbelief.

Harry thought he was scared: "Don't worry too much. Didn't Fred and George often beat sixth graders on the dueling ring? Anyway, it's just a magical memory he left in his diary. It shouldn't be too strong, and the magic power used should also belong to Ginny, so we won't even be able to win against Ginny, right?"

"No, I'm talking about you." Ron shook his head, "It's too dangerous for you to deal with the basilisk by yourself. It's a thousand-year-old basilisk."

"What are you afraid of, I'm a Parseltongue," said Harry. "Okay, I'm going to get my Invisibility Cloak, and that 'Third Eye'…"

Hermione seemed to disagree with the first half of Harry's sentence, but she said nothing.

After Lockhart modified her memory, in order to make up for the gap of more than an hour, he compiled a set of false memories for her "to ask the essentials of casting the shining pattern".

Although the memory is false, it is true that Hermione learned the magic of the shining pattern.

She now knows that the natural enemy of the basilisk is a rooster, and has learned to shine patterns, and secretly packed a strong-smelling snake repellent and a pile of bezoar for detoxification in her small bag.Although the bezoar was useless against the basilisk's poison, she was much more prepared.

However, what Miss Know-It-All regrets the most is that she didn't bring a little Floo powder with her, but starting today, this will also become one of the things she must bring in her small bag.

During the operation of the three saviors, Dumbledore watched their every move through the crystal ball until they entered Myrtle's bathroom, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fox, send the sorting hat over, every Gryffindor should be able to draw that sword." He ordered to the Phoenix beside him.

Unlike being kicked out of the school in the original book, Dumbledore is still safely serving as his headmaster at this time." Even if the school managers have been linked together under Malfoy's secret arrangement, it's the same

Fox grabbed the sorting hat, left a phoenix cry, and then disappeared with a flash of fire.

After sending off his phoenix, Dumbledore turned to the man in front of him again. "Gidero... As you said, Mr. Potter is the one who decides the big things, and Miss Granger is the one who makes the most of the brains, and the sixth child of the Weasley family is the bond between them."

"It's not hard to guess." Lockhart shrugged.

"What do you think of this model?"

"It can only be said that it is in line with some people's values, principal." Lockhart said with a smirk, "Under the leadership of a leader with positive energy, a strategist who can be considered exhaustive and a loyal knight assistant He ascended the throne ... what a legend."

Lockhart's words were stinging, and Dumbledore of course heard it.

Because he's not just talking about the combination of Harry + Hermione + Ron, he's talking about Gryffindor (the brave and charismatic king), Ravenclaw (the wise strategist) and Hedge Patch (a tough and loyal knight), this combination is what Dumbledore really wants to see.

Many people easily overlook the important role of Ron Weasley in the Iron Triangle, but even those who are selectively blind must admit that the Weasley family is indeed of great significance to Harry.

In a sense, the reason why Harry was able to grow up in such an environment without being blackened, apart from the friendliness of Hagrid and some Lion wizards, the Weasley family is the most important reason, not one of them.

They offer unselfish friendship, family, and even love to the Savior.In the war against Voldemort, the Wesley family can be said to have put the whole family on Harry Potter's side, and paid a heavy price.

If there was a profit distribution after the war, the Weasley family would undoubtedly be the biggest winner, but no one with a normal mind would make irresponsible remarks about this winner, because the Weasley family also sacrificed the most.

What is even more admirable is that their contributions are not even utilitarian.

Lockhart asked himself, he couldn't make the same sacrifice as the Weasleys, so he could only put himself in an important but secondary position, and use every opportunity to do things for Dumbledore.

The more you give, the more you will gain, he still understands this simple truth.

"So... are you going to follow?" Dumbledore asked Lockhart.

"I'm the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at the school," said Lockhart.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Although Lockhart was going to follow, he wasn't too nervous.

It may be that after repelling Voldemort with ease the previous time, he vaguely felt that the enemy is not so difficult to deal with, or it may be that the arrival of the ordered goods gave him confidence, or it was "originally" Harry's surprise The dangerous journey gave him confidence, and in short, he didn't think anything would go wrong.

With anti-magic lenses, protective clothing, new weapons and the constant concern of the principal, Lockhart does not think that the three saviors will be in danger, nor does he.

It was precisely because of his reassurance that Lockhart did some unnecessary things.

Lockhart came to Myrtle's bathroom and sighed as he looked at the hole exposed by the parting sink.

He wasn't afraid, but felt that if he slid down the dirty pipe, his clothes might get dirty.This bathroom was still in use at least 50 years ago, God knows what used to flow through this pipe.

Mang Fangshui is moisture-proof! "

He first cast a spell on himself, and then began to greet the side.

"Myrtle? Can you help me down?"

A transparent head popped out of the bathroom cubicle.
