Chapter 144 Crazy
"Sir - if that man is caught...if everything stops..."

"What do you mean?" Dippet said, rising from his chair, his voice harsh. "Riddle, are you saying you know something about these attacks?"

"No, sir." Riddle said quickly.

Yet Harry was sure that Riddle's "no" was of the same nature as his own "no" to Dumbledore.

Dippet sat back down, looking slightly disappointed.

"You can go, Tom..."

Riddle slid from his chair and trudged out of the room.Harry followed.

They descended the spiral staircase and emerged from the gargoyle in the darkening hallway.Riddle stopped, and so did Harry, watching him.Harry could tell Riddle was thinking seriously, he was biting his lip and his forehead was wrinkled.

Then, as if suddenly making up his mind, he hurried away, Harry following quietly.Along the way, they didn't see a single person.At last they came to the foyer, where a tall wizard with long flowing auburn hair and a long beard greeted Riddle from the marble staircase.

"What are you doing, Tom? Wandering around this late?"

Harry stared at the wizard dumbfounded.He is none other than Dumbledore who is 50 years younger.

"I had to see the principal just now, sir," said Riddle.

"Okay, go to bed," said Dumbledore, gazing at Riddle with that penetrating gaze Harry knew so well. "It's best not to be wandering the corridors these days. Now that... ..."

He sighed heavily, said good night to Riddle, and strode away.Riddle watched him go out of sight, then stepped quickly up the stone steps leading to the dungeon, with Harry hot on his heels.

However, to Harry's disappointment, Riddle didn't take him to a secret passage or a secret tunnel, but to the dungeon where Harry had taken his Potions class with Snape.The torches were not lit, so when Riddle nearly pushed the door shut, Harry could only see Riddle standing motionless in the doorway, staring out at the passage.

Harry thought they had been there for at least an hour.All he could see was Riddle's figure standing at the door, peering through the crack, waiting like a statue.Then, just as Harry stopped feeling tense and expectant and started wishing to return to reality, he heard movement outside the door.

Someone was walking quietly in the passage.He heard the man walk past the dungeon where he and Riddle were hiding.Riddle was as silent as a shadow, passed through the crack of the door sideways, and followed.Harry followed on tiptoe, forgetting that he couldn't be heard.

For about 5 minutes, they kept following that pace.Finally, Riddle stopped suddenly, tilting his head, listening to the voice that just appeared.Harry heard a door creak open and someone whispered in a husky voice.

"Come... come out, come up here... come here... into the box..."

The man's voice seemed a little familiar.

With a sudden jump, Riddle turned the corner.Harry jumped out after him.He could see the dark figure of a large boy crouching in front of an open door beside which stood a large box.

"Good evening, Ruburt," said Riddle sternly.

The boy slammed the door shut and stood up.

"What are you doing here, Tom?"

Riddle took a few steps closer.

"It's time to end," he said. "I'm going to have to denounce you, Ruburt. They're talking about closing Hogwarts if the attacks don't stop."

"What did you say—"

"I know you didn't mean to kill people. But monsters aren't ideal pets, I guess you just let them out and move around, end—"

"It never killed!" said the big boy, stepping back and leaning his body against the closed door.Harry could hear a strange rustling and rattling sound behind him.

"Come on, Rubeus," said Riddle, moving closer, "that dead girl's parents are coming here tomorrow. Hogwarts can at least make sure that the guy who killed their daughter is killed." die……"

"Not it!" roared the boy, his voice echoing in the dim passage. "It won't! Never!"

"Get out of the way," said Riddle, drawing his wand.

His spell illuminated the hallway with a sudden flash of fire.The door behind the big boy slammed open, sending him slamming against the opposite wall with such force.Something came out of the door, and Harry let out a shrill, long scream, but no one seemed to hear it except himself.

A huge, shaggy low figure, with tangled black legs, many shining eyes, two knife-sharp pincers—Riddle raised his wand again, but it was too late up.The monster fled in a hurry, knocked him to the ground, and then sprinted down the corridor and disappeared.Riddle stumbled to his feet, watching its back; he raised his wand, but the chunk

The first boy sprang at him, grabbed his wand, and knocked him down again, yelling, "No—!"

Then, the world spun and it was pitch black.Harry felt himself falling, and with a final bang, he returned to the stone chamber. Ron, Draco looked at him with his mouth wide open in surprise, while Su Ziqiong's eyes were serious.

"You just disappeared suddenly, and suddenly appeared again!" Ron said solemnly.

"I know, I saw some very shocking memories." Harry said while staring at Riddle coldly, "You know Hagrid is not the murderer, I think you are just afraid that after Hogwarts is closed Forced to go back to the Muggle orphanage, although we are not the same way, at least I can understand you on this point."

"Hagrid's my friend," said Harry, his voice trembling now. "You framed him, didn't you? I thought you were mistaken, but—"

Riddle let out his piercing grin again.

"It was I who exposed Hagrid, Harry. You can imagine what it was like to be in front of old Mr. Armando Dippet. On one side was me, Tom Riddle, born poor but brilliant, both parents dead But wise and brave, he's the prefect and the model student at the school; and on the other hand, there's the big, stupid Hagrid, the clumsy, troublemaker who gets into trouble every other week!!!"
