"Thank God!" Mrs. Weasley walked up to Harry and Ivan, "You saved Ron, you saved him! How did you do it?"
"That's what we all want to know." Snape stared at them closely.
Ivan and Harry glanced at each other quietly, and Ivan curled his lips towards Dumbledore, signaling that Harry would describe what happened in the chamber of secrets. After hesitating for a moment, Harry walked to the desk and put the Sorting Hat, the silver sword inlaid with rubies, and the remains of Riddle's diary, all on the table.
Then he began to tell everyone what happened.
He spoke for about a quarter of an hour, and everyone listened so intently that the room was completely silent.
He said that he always heard that disembodied, ghost-like voice, and after investigation, they learned from Hagrid what happened when the chamber of secrets was opened fifty years ago, so they deduced that there was a basilisk in the chamber of secrets, It lurks in the water pipes and roams around the school, attacking students.
Immediately afterwards, he talked about the two battles that took place in the common room and the secret room, how he and Aiwen were brought to the secret room by the basilisk, how Aiwen was hit by Riddle's spell, and how Fox was able to fight in time. When he arrived, how did the Sorting Hat give him the sword, and how he used the sword to kill the basilisk.
But then, his voice became hesitant.
He had avoided mentioning Riddle's diary and mentioned Ron in the past.
At this moment, Ron was standing by the fire with his head bowed, his face was disappointed, and tears rolled down his cheeks silently.
Harry was thinking nervously, if he said that Riddle controlled Ron to do all this, but Riddle's diary was out of order, how could they prove that Riddle forced Ron to do those things? !
"Potter, get to the point!" Snape reminded in a low voice, "We only care about who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and why did that stupid basilisk take Weasley away?"
"It's because..." Harry didn't know what to say.
Especially since Snape had asked the question, even though he had saved them in the common room. But Harry was sure that if given the chance to expel them all from Hogwarts, Snape would not be relentless.
"Professor, Voldemort did all of this, including the one fifty years ago." Ivan's voice sounded at the right time.
Suddenly hearing Voldemort's name, the room fell silent. The Weasleys, Hagrid, and Cornelius Fudge shivered. Snape had a very strange expression. As for Lucius, who had been huddled in the corner, Malfoy felt a little unnatural all of a sudden.
"Oh my god, you, you mean it was all done by the mysterious man?" Fudge said in surprise, "Wasn't it Hagrid who was caught by a student fifty years ago, and we even issued an award for it?" A special contribution award, it's all well documented."
"Connelly, I told you a long time ago that Hagrid was wronged. He is as innocent as all of us." Dumbledore said calmly.
"Yeah, yeah, you did, but the student who caught Hagrid..." said Fudge uncertainly.
"His name is Tom Riddle, and he was Voldemort in his student days. He was the one who planned to launch a series of attacks in the castle. Harry and I stopped his plot in the secret room."
Hearing Ivan's words, Fudge stepped back nervously. Although he had just heard Harry finish speaking, he couldn't imagine how two little wizards aged eleven or twelve could defeat a powerful black wizard and a snake weird.
The whole thing sounds like a fantasy.
"Mr. Minister, since we have stopped Voldemort's plot and saved Hogwarts." Ivan stared closely at Fudge, and said with a smile on his lips, "Then me, Harry, Hermione and Ron, Can I also get a special contribution award?"
"What?!" Fudge was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay, since you defeated the mysterious man, I think there should be no problem, but it needs to be discussed between the department and the school board, and it should be over in a few days.. . . . ”
"That's great, thank you, Mr Minister!"
Aiwen jumped up happily, and said quickly, "If possible, I would like you to present the award to us in person. This news can be published on our "Hogwarts Magic News" and "Daily Prophet" Published, I believe everyone will appreciate these things that the Ministry of Magic has done."
"No problem, my dear boy! I will probably visit Hogwarts again tomorrow with your special contribution trophy and Hagrid's pardon."
Hearing that the reputation of the Ministry of Magic will not be damaged by this incident, Fudge looked very happy, "Albus, now that everything has come to light, I must leave. You know, there are still many things waiting for me in the Ministry." do it."
He greeted everyone and turned to leave the Headmaster's office, Snape following.
"Although we all know that Voldemort planned all this." After Fudge left, Dumbledore said gently, "but I'm still curious, how did Voldemort confuse Ron? Because according to my sources, He is currently hiding in the forests of Albania."
"What?!" Mrs. Weasley said in a startled voice, "You mean that the mysterious man confused Ron, but Ivan just said that they were together..."
"Professor, it's all about this diary."
Harry said quickly, grabbing the diary and showing it to Dumbledore, "It was written when Riddle was sixteen."
Dumbledore took the diary from Harry's hand, his eyes shot down his long hooked nose, gazing intently at the damp, charred pages.
Aiwen can be sure that the other party must have recognized it as a Horcrux.
"Remarkable!" said Dumbledore softly. "Needless to say, he's probably the best student Hogwarts has ever seen."
He turned and told the Weasleys something about Voldemort's school days.
"But I don't understand why Ron has anything to do with him?"
"Because of his diary!" Ron said disappointedly, "I found it in Ginny's transformation textbook, and I wrote on it for a whole year, and he kept calling me back. Ivan was right, I'm such a bastard, I'd rather trust a diary than my friends."
"My God, Ron!" said Mr. Weasley, dumbfounded. "Didn't I teach you? What I've always told you, never trust anything that can think for itself unless you see it clearly Where is the mind hidden. This suspicious diary is obviously full of black magic and sorcery!"
"Don't blame Ron, Mr. Weasley." Ivan said hastily, "Ron saved Ginny when the basilisk attacked in the common room."
"In fact, very few wizards can break free from Voldemort's magical control!" Dumbledore added, "Arthur, you should be proud of Ron, and I believe he must have got enough in this matter." Lessons."
"It's touching!" Just when everyone thought the matter was over like this, Lucius Malfoy suddenly stood up from the corner, and he said with a sneer, "Dumbledore, rather than caring about a ridiculous diary and Children's self-esteem, I think we should get back to the topic, about your suspension from the board of directors... … "
Before he could finish his sentence, a letter suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's desk.
"I just wanted to tell you about this, Lucius!" Dumbledore said calmly, "I just got in touch with the other eleven directors. After discussion, they finally seemed to think that I was the most suitable for this Work."
"So it's like this..." Lucius narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"Besides, they also told me some interesting things. It seems that someone is threatening them that if they don't agree to let me leave, they will curse their family." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.
"What a good joke!" Lucius' face was paler than usual, and his eyes were spitting out anger, "In that case, I'll take my leave too, and I hope Hogwarts won't have this kind of joke again in the future." The attack! Otherwise, as a school director, I will be very troubled!"
