Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 31 Lucius Malfoy is driven away

After knocking on the door three times, they heard Dumbledore's voice: "Come in, everyone." Dumbledore seemed very happy.

After they entered, they found that many people were in Dumbledore's office. McGonagall, a relatively short and fat woman and a tall and thin man. Both of them had red hair, although the tall and thin man was somewhat bald. They looked like Ron's parents.There are also Elena's parents and Elsa's grandfather.

Then a scream: "Ginny...my child...Merlin...how did you do it?"They found themselves being hugged by Ron's mother and Professor McGonagall gasping for air.Elena's parents seemed to suspect that there was something wrong with her eyes.And Dumbledore seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

"Yes, that's what we want to know...Although you violated 2 school rules in 30 hours...but we are all curious, how did you do it?" Professor McGonagall asked after calming down.

"Yes, that's what we want to know too" Mr. Weasley wiped his sweat.Harry then detailed how he first heard a ghostly voice, and then determined, based on Lydia's guess, that it was some kind of creature, and that it was a snake-like creature.Then I learned from Winters that the thing living in the secret room was a basilisk.Then he was even more certain that the girl who was killed 50 years ago was Myrtle, and the entrance to the secret room was probably on the second floor of the west building.Then Harry began to hesitate.

When he talked about the diary, he instinctively looked at Dumbledore. "I'm curious how the Chamber of Secrets was opened," Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"It's Voldemort's diary. There is some kind of magic in this diary that bewitched Ginny." Harry said immediately and gave the diary to Dumbledore.Dumbledore's eyes fell from his blue eyes to the diary.

"What? The mysterious man bewitched Ginny" Mr. Weasley exclaimed.

"I wrote in that diary for a year," Ginny cried.

"He must be one of the smartest and most talented students in the history of Hogwarts. Few people know that Voldemort's former name was Tom Riddle. After graduation, he fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of dark magic, and interacted with wizards. The most evil guys were mixed together. After many dangerous magical transformations, they finally reappeared as Voldemort. And they have been hiding behind this mask for such a long time." Dumbledore said softly, but his eyes kept looking at Wen Tes.Winters felt uncomfortable.

"Ginny, didn't I say don't open your heart casually? Unless you can see where the other person's mind is," Mrs. Weasley said angrily.

"The school will not punish her in any way. Many wizards older and wiser than Ginny have been bewitched by Voldemort. She needs to go to the school doctor immediately. I think chocolate milk has a good effect on calming emotions. Minerva, can you take Ginny to the school nurse's office?" Dumbledore said decisively.

"Of course...then I'll leave them to you," Professor McGonagall said simply.Harry and the others turned pale when they heard "deal with it".

"I remember I said that when I am away, I will follow Professor McGonagall's rules," Dumbledore said seriously. "According to Professor McGonagall's requirements, you should indeed be expelled."

Winters wasn't too scared, just a little melancholy.But Harry and Ron looked like they were in danger.

"But it just goes to show that even the best of us sometimes fail to think things through and make mistakes," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"The three of you will add 450 points to Gryffindor...and...Ron, you should call our key keeper back. After all, there are very few Forbidden Forest keepers as good as Hagrid."

After Ron went out, Harry and Winters were left alone.

"First of all, I must thank you. Without your absolute trust and loyalty to me, Fox would not have found you. I think Voldemort must be looking for you by name because he is very interested in you." Dumbledore looked at Harry.

"Yes... He said that I am half-blood like her, and I can also speak Parseltongue... and..." Harry couldn't continue.

"You can speak Parseltongue because Voldemort can also speak it. He transferred part of his spell to you on the day he left the scar on you, so you can speak Parseltongue... And the Sorting Hat..."

"And the Sorting Hat thinks I should go to Slytherin," Harry said frustratedly.

"But you came to Gryffindor," Dumbledore said briskly.

"I asked for that." You could tell from Harry's tone that he was depressed.

"Because of this, things are different. Who we become is not because of what abilities we have. It is what we choose. You happen to have the qualities that Slytherin himself values, courage and resourcefulness, Indifference to certain provisions, perseverance..." Dumbledore was a little excited, "If you really doubt whether you should come to Gryffindor, you can take a look at this sword." Dumbledore motioned to Harry. Look at the blade of that ruby-encrusted sword.

"Godric Gryffindor" Winters and Harry said in unison.

"Only a true Gryffindor can pull out this sword," Dumbledore said happily.As Winters and Harry watched in fascination, Malfoy entered, followed by a scarred house-elf, whom Winters guessed was probably Dobby.

"I remember the board fired you," Malfoy said angrily.

"But there are students at Hogwarts who were kidnapped by Voldemort, so the other directors want me to come back. And they all seem to be saying... You forced them to do it." Dumbledore's voice was calm, but he took every step. Press.

"That's nonsense. The mysterious man has died long ago," Mal said stiffly.

But Harry shouted "Mr. Malfoy".

"What's wrong?" Lucius Malfoy asked impatiently.

"I don't remember Ginny buying this diary... But ever since the Weasleys met you, I've seen Ginny take this diary." Harry looked at Lucius Malfoy. explain.

"How do I know how this old thing got into Ginny Weasley's hands?" Malfoy said stiffly. He picked up the diary, looked at it, and then returned it to Harry.

"Any dark magic item will be traced to its source... Fortunately, Harry and his companions acted decisively to prevent something more serious from happening," Dumbledore said, looking at Malfoy.

"Then I hope Potter and his partners can continue to create miracles." Malfoy seemed stunned for a moment when he saw the pierced diary.Then he kicked Dobby out.

"Professor, can I use this diary?" Harry asked Dumbledore after seeing Malfoy and Dobby leaving.

"Of course" Dumbledore said with a smile.Dumbledore looked at Winters after Harry left.

"Winters, after this year. You were still as quiet as ever." Dumbledore looked at Winters.

"Because I don't know what to say." Winters was a little embarrassed.

"You can say whatever you want...for example, do you still think you shouldn't come to Gryffindor?" Dumbledore said happily.

"Um...Sir..." Winters felt that Dumbledore was making things difficult for him.

"My child, the fact that you can come back and fight Voldemort directly shows that you are not a coward... You have a different kind of bravery from Harry. You have the qualities of the four houses, but the quality of Gryffindor is more obvious. Therefore, it is not unreasonable for the Sorting Hat to finally put you into Gryffindor," Dumbledore said with great certainty.

"So...Professor...Voldemort said that I am a traitor to Slytherin" Winters suddenly remembered.Voldemort did say that he was a traitor to Slytherin. . . .Was his mother really a descendant of the man who betrayed Salazar Slytherin?

"He called you a traitor to Slytherin because your mother is a descendant of the man who betrayed Salazar Slytherin. Your mother did speak Parseltongue, but she learned it on her own at the time. She just started Like you, I can only understand," Dumbledore said with a smile.

Then he added "I'm glad you didn't indulge in the so-called descendants of Slytherin. Instead, you chose to be yourself. Like I once said: who you choose to be is important."

Just as Winters was thinking about Dumbledore's words, Mr. Clar's voice brought him back to reality: "Winters' adoption - I mean, are his parents and his two sisters going to be adopted soon?" arrive"

"I remember they arrived at about this time." Mrs. Clough stood up.

"Oh... Merlin's beard... How could I forget them... Winters, if you have nothing to do, go and wash your face first... Your face is covered with dirt... Your parents saw you like this It's time to talk about you again," Dumbledore reminded Winters.

Everything came to light, Lucius Malfoy was forced to resign from the board of directors because of Ginny's kidnapping, and Malfoy was no longer so arrogant.The petrified students recovered one after another.As for Lockhart, according to Slyer's account, their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had been arrested on suspicion of fraud and assault.The celebration lasted for 3 days.Then the peace gradually returned to the past, but Winters discovered that Harry was always accompanied by the house elf Dobby.

"How did you do that?" Ron asked in surprise.

"I put my sock in the diary and Lucius Malfoy gave it to Dobby without seeing it." Harry smiled.

"What a great idea," Winters said with admiration.

Although Gryffindor was added 450 points.But Slytherin was also added 400 points.In Dumbledore's words: Elsa and Elena's brothers proved that Slytherin Academy also has extraordinary courage, the courage that only belongs to Slytherins.

As a result, Professor McGonagall was even harsher on them.Because no one knows who the Academy Cup will be until the final results are announced.But Winters found himself no longer interested in the Academy Cup.

"Why should you care about the Academy Cup at this time... What's important is that Hogwarts is safe and sound, and Professor Dumbledore is back. Hagrid has cleared his name." Winters looked at the man who was lowering his head to do his homework. Harry and Ron asked.

"You should still remember last year when Rack Crawley stole the House Cup from everyone... I heard that Professor McGonagall was complaining all afternoon about why Professor Dumbledore didn't announce the news earlier" was written in Ron's handwriting Dragons and phoenixes were dancing around, while Harry was reading Hermione's notes over and over again.

The remaining two months were spent in radiant days, two months that Hermione said she would never forget.

Elena admitted that she did not expect the rumor to be true, and that she was greatly disappointed in Salazar Slytherin.

When they parted again, Harry spoke again of his aunt and uncle.

"If you don't reply to me for more than two days during this holiday, then I will have no choice but to write to your local police station," Hermione said firmly.

"That's even worse" Harry begged Hermione not to do it.

Winters: "A letter will definitely not do. I suggest writing them together to try to fill the local police station with envelopes."

Ron was already excited: "But how do we write it?"

Harry was very excited when he watched his friends seriously discussing how to call the police, but he didn't want to get his friends into trouble.

"Just tell the local police station that Harry is the child of a martyr. I guarantee that his aunt and uncle won't be able to eat and carry around." Slyer was loading his luggage into the car.

"You'd better not do that... you'll make it harder for me." Harry shook his head quickly.

"Let's see who has the harder time in the end." Elena's family walked over, followed by Winters' family closely behind them.

"Your uncle's tax evasion record has 100 pages if not 50 pages. Then let him try." Mr. Kral looked at Harry and said calmly.

They reluctantly separated, and while on the train, Winters suddenly remembered that his parents, Lydia, and Aurora had met Dumbledore.

"What did Dumbledore tell you?" asked the Eisen couple when they went to Car No. 8 to buy snacks.

Aurora recalled: "Not just Dumbledore, but also Elena's family... If I remember correctly, there should be 15 people, Professor Dumbledore, Elena's family... Yes, Just 15”

"So what did you talk about?" Winters was very curious.

Lydia: "Talking about your education. Said you needed the right guidance. He was very grateful to mom and dad for everything. And Jelena's family was very grateful to you for spending all day with their youngest daughter."

"It's nothing, after all, everyone knows Elena's nickname," Winters said, holding back a laugh.

"This is not funny, Winters. Except for Professor Dumbledore, who can achieve the same effect as you, this spell of "Soul Chill" cannot have the effect on you anyway. You don't do it at all. I know what kind of courage it takes for Elena to come to Hogwarts to study... In Elena's own words, she is ready to sleep at any time." Lydia's tone was full of admiration.

"Didn't she have a potion? And Dumbledore..." Winters asked in confusion.

"Let's not talk about whether Dumbledore can watch her at any time. Even if her potion does not fail, you have seen the consequences of her forgetting to drink the potion. 10 minutes ago she was talking and laughing with the people next to her. 10 minutes ago After that... Anyway, they are very grateful to you." Aurora shook her head.

After a while the Eisens came back with some snacks.They told Winters that Dumbledore had asked him not to forget about summoning the magic aggregate during the holidays.

Winters looked at the fading Hogsmeade village and thought about what had happened in the past two years. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous: Will this summer vacation be as peaceful as before?
