The day of the duel at Hogwarts

"Sean, you were the first person to be targeted by the basilisk and escape. Can you tell me how you escaped the basilisk's attack?"

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Sean immediately knew that the principal had doubts about him. Although he might not suspect that he had anything to do with the basilisk, he was definitely suspicious.

Sean had already prepared an explanation for this.

Reaching out and patting her shoulder lightly, Kulkan immediately drilled a head out of Sean's collar as promised before, looked at Dumbledore, and spat out the letter slightly. She didn't say anything more, because Harry was right next to him, acting as a Parseltongue translator. Once he said something he shouldn't have said, it would be revealed.

"Professor, his name is Kulkan. He was a pet I bought before coming to Hogwarts. When the basilisk appeared before, Kulkan showed some uneasiness. Perhaps because it is also a snake, it is not interested in the basilisk. The appearance was very sensitive, I was going back to the common room just now, but Kulkan suddenly became uneasy, I was alert, and I escaped."

In order not to arouse suspicion, Sean replaced her with it when he spoke to avoid Dumbledore's unnecessary suspicion.

Dumbledore looked at Kulkan, obviously surprised, and nodded slightly. Dumbledore said to Sean: "This is a very beautiful snake. You have a very good pet."

At this point, the matter on Sean's side has been revealed.

Regarding Slytherin, Dumbledore's attitude was as gentle as ever, but he did lack some concern. Just look at his attitude when facing the Weasley twins and Ginny, and you can see that Dumbledore's concern is not the same. Not just for Harry, but for Gryffindor as well.

Although Snape, the headmaster of the four major headmasters, Lislytherin, is the most eccentric, there is another eccentric headmaster above him.

"Mr. Weasley, and Miss Weasley, first of all, I would like to express my regret that your brother Ron was attacked, and secondly..." Dumbledore looked at Ginny, and did not show any serious look, but He asked more gently: "Miss Weasley, or Ginny, do you have anything to explain to me or us about Ron's attack?"

As Dumbledore finished speaking, Ginny, who was already sobbing, could no longer hold back and started crying.

At this time, everyone except the Weasley twins felt that something was wrong with Ginny.

"Ginny, look at me, look at me."

Dumbledore's gentle words seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing Ginny to slowly raise her head, her violent sobbing and crying relieved somewhat, and she calmed down.

"T-Professor, me, will I be sent to Azkaban?"

"Ginny, why do you think that?!"

Turning to look at Professor McGonagall with a worried look on her face, Ginny cried again: "But, but, Professor, I was the one who opened the secret room first. It was I who opened the secret room and what happened next. I Even, I even harmed my brother, I harmed Ron.

I……"

At this point, Ginny couldn't speak any more.

At this time, everyone present was shocked by what Ginny just said.

Especially the Weasley twins, for the first time, looked speechless and at a loss. They no longer had the usual jumping-off and spirituality.

Ginny actually opened the secret room? !

Looking at Ginny who could no longer speak, Sean thought for a moment, took out the bag that Aldridge had cast the Seamless Stretching Charm on, dug inside, and took out a magic potion. Arriving at Ginny's side.

"Ginny, drink it, it will help you regain your composure. Now you need to calm down and explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly. I am not here to help you, I just simply don't believe that the heir of Slytherin will be a Weasley, a Gryffindor, so drink it and talk it over."

Of course, this was meant for Dumbledore and the others. When facing the principal, Sean would always be extremely vigilant and extremely cautious in his words and actions.

Ginny took the potion and turned to look at Professor McGonagall. When she saw Professor McGonagall nodding, she pulled out the cork and drank the potion in the bottle.

Swallowing the potion with a frown, Ginny raised her hand to wipe the corners of her mouth. Slowly, her mood calmed down visibly, and even the sobbing that had not stopped just now stopped.

Seeing Ginny's appearance, Dumbledore couldn't help but praise: "She is indeed Severus' most valued student. The quality of this calming potion has reached a professional level."

"Thank you Professor Dumbledore for the compliment."

Sean nodded slightly, his etiquette perfectly befitting a Slytherin.

Seeing this scene, Dumbledore blinked, looked at Ginny again, and asked: "Ginny, can you tell us what happened in detail now?"

"Of course, Professor."

At this time, Ginny spoke crisply, like a Slytherin.

Next, Ginny started with the discovery of an old diary in a book, including that the diary could answer her questions and even answer some of her academic and emotional doubts. She told Dumbledore and others the whole story. Until he opened the door to the secret room for the first and last time, he passed out, and when he woke up, he found that the old diary was missing.

After listening to Ginny's words, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but cover her mouth and said slightly reproachfully: "Oh, Ginny, you really are. We said in the first grade that magic items with self-will are absolutely Inaccessible."

When Ginny heard what Professor McGonagall said, she blamed herself and said: "Sorry, Professor, I was bewitched by Riddle. He is so considerate and has the right views on many things. I regard him as the best." My friend, I believed him wholeheartedly, but because of this, I was bewitched by him and harmed many people, even my brother." m.biqmgè

At this point, Ginny's eye circles were slightly red, but with the help of the calming potion, Ginny's emotional fluctuations were controlled within a certain range and she did not react much.

At this time, Sean saw Dumbledore and the three professors out of his peripheral vision. When Ginny mentioned the surname Riddle just now, the expressions on the faces of Dumbledore and the three professors obviously changed, but soon Then he hid in the past.

"So, the diary with self-will was the culprit that opened the secret room and released the basilisk. And this diary should have fallen into the hands of other people now, which triggered the subsequent attacks. So now There is an urgent question that needs to be clarified. Who is the person who is in possession of the diary now? Where is he? "
