Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

"Okay, no kidding, what do you want me to do when you give me this notebook? You don't want me to help you with your homework, right?"

Xavier flipped through his notebook, looking a little absent-minded.

"My intuition tells me that this is a diary, but there is no writing on it. Is there anything you can do?" Harry said.

"It's not a good habit to peek into other people's diaries."

pop~

Xavier closed his diary and led by example.

"You probably don't know when you just came back. Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, once built a secret room in Hogwarts Castle and raised a monster in the secret room. Slytherin. Letlin once said that in the future, his heir would open the Chamber of Secrets and release the monsters inside, and purge all those he deems unworthy of learning magic, that is, half-blood and Muggle-born wizards."

Xavier nodded: "This decision sounds good."

"Very good?!" Ron looked at Xavier as if he had seen a ghost: "You call this good? I remember you are also a mixed race, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Then you still say it's good?"

"The specific situation must be analyzed in detail." In the age of witchcraft, in that era, intermarriage between pure-blood families could indeed maximize the probability of wizards appearing in future generations, and it could also improve the concealment of wizards, which would be beneficial to the survival of wizards in the short term."

"Okay, Harry, go on. Is this notebook related to the secret room?" Xavier changed the subject.

It's really not a good idea to discuss the development of the wizarding world with two second-year students.

"It may be related. The secret room was opened 50 years ago. And the owner of this diary happened to be a student at Hogwarts 50 years ago and was a prefect. Maybe he recorded some clues in the diary. " Harry said.

"Fifty years ago was not that long ago. If you want to know what happened back then, you can just ask a few professors."

Harry shook his head: "We asked, and they didn't know what the monster was in the Chamber of Secrets. They only said that the student who opened the Chamber of Secrets was caught and expelled, but the professor refused to say the student's name."

"Oh, that is to say, the secret room that was opened by an unknown student 50 years ago has now been opened again."

Harry nodded.

"Then the owner of this mysterious diary happens to be a student from 50 years ago, so you want to find clues from this diary to the person who opened the secret room."

Harry nodded again.

"Don't you think this is a coincidence?"

"Where is the coincidence? What do you mean by coincidence?" Harry asked doubtfully.

"The secret room was opened once 50 years ago, and now it is opened again. And at this moment, you picked up a diary from 50 years ago. Don't you think this is a coincidence? It was really you who picked it up To this diary? Isn't it possible that it appeared on purpose in a place where no one else would go but you?" Xavier said.

"What you said seems to be a coincidence. No one else would go into that place normally, but..." Ron scratched his scattered hair: "Why would it appear in front of Harry on purpose? This doesn't make sense!"

"Yeah, what's it doing in front of me?" Harry agreed.

Xavier looked into Harry's eyes, and Harry's eyes were a little dodgey when Xavier stared at him.

"It seems that you already have a rough answer in your mind, Harry." Xavier returned the notebook to Harry: "But I can remind you again that the name Voldemort is obviously not his real name. What is Voldemort's real name? , have you checked?”

Harry was stunned.

Gudong~

Ron swallowed and looked at Xavier with wide eyes: "Xavier, you don't mean to say that Fu... the mysterious man's real name is... called..."

"I didn't say anything, I just raised such a possibility, a hypothesis. I don't know what Voldemort's real name is, and I haven't looked it up because I'm not interested in him."

Speaking of this, Xavier looked at Harry playfully

"It's you, Harry. You like solving puzzles so much, but you didn't check out Voldemort's past. I didn't expect it."

Harry forced a smile, his face turned a little pale, and the hand holding the diary trembled slightly: "I was negligent... What should I do with this diary?"

“What should I do?” After checking, we will consider solving the mystery in this diary."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Harry took a deep breath, holding the diary as carefully as he was holding a bomb, and locked it into his box.

After placing the lock and locking it, Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

Ron also heaved a sigh of relief, slumped down on the bed and stared blankly at Harry's box.

Xavier, on the other hand, frowned as he looked at the boxes that couldn't even be piled under the bed. He had too many things.

After thinking for a moment, Xavier disappeared instantly.

About 2 minutes later, Xavier came back holding a big box.

"You...where did you go just now?" Ron asked with wide eyes.

"I went to Diagon Alley and bought a wardrobe."

"Diagon Alley?! So fast? This is so cool!"

"Apparition, Ron, don't you know?" Xavier asked doubtfully.

"I've heard my parents talk about it, but I've never seen them use it... I guess they haven't learned it yet."

"Maybe, tell me about the secret room. What happened during my absence?"

Changing the topic, Ron and Harry told Xavier what happened before.

While listening to the two men's stories, Xavier opened the wardrobe a crack, then put his wand in and used the Traceless Stretch Charm.

To be precise, it is the predecessor of the Traceless Stretching Spell. They call it the Expanding Spell.

"That is to say, several people are currently petrified, but no one has died. Then Hermione is in the hospital because she drank the wrong polyjuice potion and has not yet come out. You don't have any clue at the moment, do you?" Xavier took back his wand. concluded.

"That's true, but Hermione is getting much better and will be discharged from the hospital soon." Harry nodded.

"So, what was the name of the student who died 50 years ago?"

"Um... I don't know." Ron shook his head and said.

"Where did that student die 50 years ago?"

Ron looked at Harry, who shook his head: "I don't know."

"If you don't know, then go and investigate. How have you been conducting investigations in the past six months? What do you investigate when you see something?"

"Um...it seems...that's it."

Xavier:…

Then it's great that you can find out the truth like this!
