He looked at Tom Riddle's diary in front of him in a daze. What happened today made him realize that this stalemate could not continue. Although there was no more attack, if the secret room incident was not resolved for a day, everyone would continue to be suspicious.
Maybe, I should give this thing to Dumbledore!
The other party must be able to recognize that this is a Horcrux, and know how to deal with it, and then the Chamber of Secrets incident will be over.
Before Ivan could make up his mind, he saw Harry walking out of the bedroom.
"Ivan, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Harry said in surprise.
"It should be me who asked you, what are you doing out so late?"
"I can't sleep, I'm thinking about Hagrid over and over again in my head, he must be innocent, I'm going to find him to confirm." Harry looked at Ivan with expectant eyes, "You think so too, yes Bar?"
"That's right!" Evan nodded.
"Then let's go!" Harry whispered.
"us?!"
"Yes." Harry grabbed Ivan, "I planned to go alone, but I didn't expect you to find out, let's go together."
Aiwen wanted to cry but had no tears. He knew that he should go back to sleep.
He didn't want to sneak out of the castle in the middle of the night and go to Hagrid's hut to confirm something he already knew, but Harry didn't give him a chance to refuse and pulled him out of the Gryffindor common room.
Before they could climb out of the portrait hole, Hermione was standing behind them, looking at them seriously.
"Hermione!" Harry said in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that, Harry, do you think I'll let you guys go it alone?!" said Hermione, "I said earlier that we had to talk to Hagrid, although I don't believe he did, But he must know something."
"Okay, since everyone is going, let's go quickly." Harry put the invisibility cloak on them.
The interior of the castle at night was extremely gloomy, and the corridors were empty.
It can be seen that Harry wandered around the castle many times in the middle of the night, and he took Ivan and Hermione to avoid Filch and walked out of the castle gate with ease.
The three of them hurried towards the lighted window of Hagrid's apartment, and they took off their invisibility cloaks only when they were outside his door.Seconds after they knocked, Hagrid flung it open, Fang the Hound barking loudly behind him.
"Oh, it's you!" Hagrid glared at them. "What are you three doing here so late?"
"Hagrid, we have something to ask you." Harry walked into the cabin first, hesitantly said, "Can you tell us about you..."
"What about me?" Hagrid poured a large glass of boiling water for each of them with a large kettle, "Is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow, you should go back to sleep now, and you won't be caught sneaking out of the castle so late."
"But, Hagrid..."
"We want to ask you about an incident that happened in the school when you were studying at Hogwarts, which is related to the Chamber of Secrets." Ivan said it directly.
"The Chamber of Secrets?!" Hagrid's thick hands shook violently, knocking over the teapot.
"Hagrid, you know that someone in the castle was attacked by monsters in the chamber of secrets, and there have been three attacks in a row." Harry said quickly, "After our investigation, we found that the chamber of secrets was opened 50 years ago... ..."
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Hagrid's face turned pale suddenly, and sweat began to profuse on his forehead.
"Fifty years ago, not long after the Chamber of Secrets was opened, you were expelled from school because of a serious accident." Hermione took out the newspaper, "Hagrid, it's not that we don't believe you, but you sure know something? "
"I don't know anything!" Hagrid yelled at them, seeming a little uneasy, spilling water from the kettle and nearly dousing the fire.
This was so suspicious that Harry and Hermione glanced at each other quietly.
"We need your help, Hagrid!" Harry said in a begging tone, "the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, the monster inside killed a student, and if we don't take action, that monster might as well this time... ..."
"No, Aragog was wronged. It didn't attack anyone." Hagrid choked out.
"Aragok, who is it?" Harry asked hastily.
"It's an acromantula, a gift from a traveler for my 12th birthday. I kept it in the cupboard. When the Chamber of Secrets was opened last time, Aragog was very scared. It Keep begging me to let it go, it says it's an ancient creature that their spiders fear the most." Hagrid wiped his tears with a large handkerchief.
"That ancient creature, what is it?"
"I don't know, Aragog never told me the monster's name despite my asking many times, all the way to that horrible monster that killed a Ravenclaw girl in a bathroom, The man who can't even mention the name caught me, and he blamed Aragog for everything."
"People who can't even mention their names?!" Harry stood up pale, "Hagrid, you mean Voldemort?"
The name made Hagrid tremble visibly, as if he had just woken up from his sad memories.
"My God, what did I say to you!" Hagrid said angrily, "This is not something you should know, forget what I just said. Now, you should go back to sleep immediately and don't ask questions, I I won't tell you anything."
They were kicked out by Hagrid, and Harry and Hermione talked quietly as they walked.
"Hagrid just said about Voldemort, 50 years ago Voldemort must have opened the Chamber of Secrets, killed Myrtle, and wronged Hagrid." Harry said angrily, "I knew it would be like this, but this time Who opened it, wouldn't it be Voldemort again?!"
Harry suddenly thought of what happened last semester, Voldemort sneaked into the school to steal the Philosopher's Stone, fortunately he stopped him in the end.
"I don't know, Harry!" Hermione shook her head and analyzed with a trembling voice, "Maybe it's the same as last semester, Voldemort sneaked into the school behind someone's head, remember Ron's robbing some time ago?" The soul curse, it must be someone hiding beside us."
"Who could it be, and what is that monster hiding in the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry lowered his head in thought.
"Hagrid just said that it is an ancient creature that spiders are most afraid of. I seem to have seen a similar creature somewhere." Hermione thought for a while, then turned to look at Ivan, and asked, "Ivan, you No clues?"
"Obviously, that terrifying creature hidden in the secret room is a basilisk, which is the deadly enemy of spiders." Ivan told what he knew.
He had decided to hand over the diary to Dumbledore, and it was time to call it a day.
As for the person controlled by Tom Riddle, no matter who he is, as long as he is not affected by the Horcrux, he will slowly return to normal.
Chapter 51 New Conspiracy
"Basilisk, what is that?"
Seeing Harry and Hermione looking at him curiously, Ivan took out a page torn from the very old library book "Where to Find Fantastic Beasts" from his arms.This is the information he specially prepared a few days ago, and he has been carrying it with him all the time, just to deal with the current situation.
"This is an introduction about the basilisk, but don't tell the administrator Mrs. Pince, if she knows that I have destroyed the collection, she will definitely not let me enter the library again."
Harry and Hermione took the pages and read eagerly:
There are many terrible beasts and monsters roaming in our country, the most bizarre and lethal of them is the basilisk, also known as the king of snakes.
The snake, which can become very large and often live for hundreds of years, is hatched from a rooster's egg by a toad.The way it kills is astonishing. In addition to its deadly fangs, the stare of the basilisk can also cause death. Anyone who is stared at by it will die instantly.
The spider will run away when it sees the basilisk, because the basilisk is the deadly enemy of the spider, and the basilisk will only flee for its life when it hears the crowing of the rooster, because the crowing of the rooster is also fatal to it.
"Because the basilisk is the deadly enemy of the spider, Aragog was so scared and wanted to run away...I see, Ivan!"
It was as if someone suddenly lit a bright light in Harry's mind, and he said excitedly, "The monster hiding in the secret room is a basilisk, no wonder I can hear that voice every time an attack occurs, while others Can't hear you because I can understand Parseltongue!"
"Look at this sentence, whoever the basilisk's eyes look at will die."
Hermione pointed to a sentence on the page and said, "But no one in the school died?"
"That's because none of them looked at it directly." Ivan explained, "Do you two still remember the puddle of water on the ground at the scene of the first attack? Mrs. Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, must have seen the water The reflection in it, that's why it was petrified."
"So, during the second attack, Penello saw the basilisk through the crying Myrtle." According to Ivan's thinking, Hermione followed up and analyzed, "Myrtle was caught by the eyes of the Basilisk." Keep an eye on it, but she can't die a second time."
"As for Justin, when we found him, he was covered in shards of mirrors. He saw the basilisk in the corner from the big mirror at the entrance to the basement. After being petrified, he fell backwards and broke the mirror. .”
"Wait a minute, I still don't understand." Harry said hesitantly, "If the basilisk is really as huge as the book says, how did he crawl around in the school without being noticed? ?”
"It's the pipe, Harry!" Ivan explained, "It's always moving in the pipe, so you can always hear the voice inside the wall."
Hermione looked eagerly at the page in her hand again, her heart becoming clearer and clearer.
"The crowing of the cock is also fatal to it! So, Hagrid's cocks were killed. Once the Chamber of Secrets is opened, the heir of Slytherin never wants a rooster near the castle. Almost every one corresponds to up."
"Except for one thing, we don't know who the heir of Slytherin is, who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"
Seeing Harry and Hermione suddenly turn their heads to look at him in unison, Ivan had to show a wry smile, "Don't look at me, I don't know who that person is."
"We need to reorganize the clues at hand. It was Voldemort who opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago, killed the crying Myrtle, and then wronged all this to Hagrid." Hermione said, "We now know The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, Hagrid's cock was killed, Ron was under the Imperius Curse, and the heir of Slytherin must be among us."
"It's so hard for anyone outside the school to do it, Professor Dumbledore can't possibly not know about it. Wait a minute, we found a strange diary on Christmas Day that belonged to a 50-year-old student Tom Riddle, but it's certainly not a coincidence that nothing is written on it."
"Riddle received the school's Special Contribution Award 50 years ago," Harry added. "Ron and I saw that trophy in the school's trophy room."
"The Special Contribution Award, maybe he solved the Chamber of Secrets incident at that time." Hermione frowned, "But Hagrid said that Voldemort caught him...Oh my God!"
The atmosphere was unusually silent, and they all thought of a possibility.
"Tom Riddle is Voldemort!" After a long time, Ivan whispered.
"Ivan, where's that diary?" Hermione said palely, "It's unbelievable, we keep Voldemort's things with us all the time. We have to give it to Dumbledore, it's probably a dark magic object .”
"Don't worry, it's here, I carry it with me all the time..." Ai Wen felt that there was nothing on his body, he froze for a moment, his face changed drastically, "Oops, when I came out just now, I forgot it in the public In the living room."
The three looked at each other and hurried to the castle.
……
Inside the diary, Tom Riddle felt inexplicable, even a little crazy.
In the past four months, he revealed a lot of high-end taboo magic knowledge, and finally gained the trust of that mudblood named Evan Mason.
But the other party suddenly didn't know what was going on, and forgot him again, and there was no contact for a long time.
Could it be that his plan was discovered? !
Tom Riddle just raised this idea and rejected it.
No matter how cunning that damn Mudblood was, he was only an 11-year-old kid, and he couldn't give up the powerful magic power at his fingertips.
In his opinion, Aiwen should be the same as he was at the beginning, indulging in powerful power and unable to extricate himself.He has even seen the loophole in Ivan's mind, and he was just a little bit close to controlling him like the child before him.
But this abominable mudblood disappeared at the most critical moment, and all my painstaking efforts and meticulous planning were in vain.
If possible, how much Tom Riddle wanted to rush out and kill Ivan directly with Avada Kowalof.
Just when he wished so, the diary was suddenly opened by someone, it was the child who was controlled by him before.
This is simply wonderful, Tom Riddle can feel the other party inject life into the diary, so that he has regained his strength when he has begun to weaken.
It's time to end everything, Tom Riddle sneered, and he came up with a new plan to get revenge on that nasty Mudblood.
He will personally complete the noble cause of Salazar Slytherin, and use blood to purify the entire Hogwarts.
Chapter 52 Slytherin's Heir
Ivan, Harry, and Hermione hurried into the castle, not even caring about the invisibility cloak. Just before they arrived at the portrait of the fat woman at the entrance of the common room, they suddenly saw Snape from the corner of the shadow The inside came out.
"What a pleasant encounter!" Snape looked at them with a sneer on his face, "Potter, Granger, Mason, I thought students who used Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be Slytherin were running around in the castle, It's bad enough, but I didn't expect that you guys still have the habit of wandering around in the middle of the night."
"Professor, we have something urgent to go back to the common room." Hermione said hastily.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Sneh smiled triumphantly, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go back, Gryffindor deducted 150 points, let me think about it..."
"You don't understand, Professor! It's Voldemort, he opened the Chamber of Secrets, we have to stop him, there is a diary..." Hermione continued unwillingly.
"Shut up, Miss Know-It-All!" Snape stared at the three of them for a long time before he said slowly, "This is Hogwarts, that person cannot appear here, come with me, I want to see How will Dumbledore deal with you!"
Harry looked at Snape dejectedly, not knowing what to do, no matter what he said, he wouldn't believe it, the other party was eager to find an excuse to punish him.
There was a very heavy worry in his already chaotic heart, and just when he was deciding to say something, he suddenly heard that voice again.
"I'm going to kill people this time...Let me tear...Let me tear..."
"That voice appeared again, it's the basilisk, and it's moving towards the common room!" Harry's heart sank suddenly. If the basilisk were allowed to enter the Gryffindor common room, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Think about it, a group of unsuspecting students, facing a terrifying monster that can kill people with their eyes, does not know how many people will die inside.
"Ivan, Hermione, it's gone in, we have to remind everyone!" Harry, ignoring Snape standing in front of him, shouted the password to open the entrance and climbed in.
Ivan and Hermione froze for a moment, then hurriedly followed.
The common room was exactly as they had left it, the fire dying.
Through the dim light, Aiwen saw that the diary he had put on the sofa was gone, and it must have been taken by the student controlled by Tom Riddle.
But, who would it be, Ginny or...
Immediately afterwards, he noticed a line of dark silver writing shining on the wall directly above the fireplace: Tremble, Mudbloods!Hogwarts will be purified, and the heir of Slytherin will complete his great mission!
Ivan's pupils contracted suddenly, Hogwarts will be purified, the heir of Slytherin will complete his mission, what does Tom Riddle want to do? !
A vague figure came out of the shadows in the corner, it was Ron! ! !
Ron looked weird, elegant and calm with a bit of oppression, completely different from his usual aura, covered with the same paint as the wall paint.
"Thank goodness you're here, Ron, the basilisk is coming, we have to..." Harry shouted anxiously.
"I know, I'm the one who summoned it." Ron had a weird smile on his lips.
"What did you say?!" Harry and Hermione looked at him in surprise.
"I mean, I was responsible for all the attacks in the school." The smile on the corner of Ron's mouth became more obvious, "Harry Potter, I've wanted to see you for a long time, among all the people in Hogwarts Among them, you are the person I most desperately want to see!"
