Hogwarts Survival Sim

"I'm not entirely sure, but I think not, sir."

Dumbledore made a listening gesture and motioned for him to continue.

"In fact, I had a brief exchange with the image of Salazar Slytherin - let's call it that for now." Ethan said slowly, "I also accidentally said the word Horcrux. .”

"But he has a very disdainful attitude towards Horcruxes and thinks that they are a very inferior form of magic. I think Mr. Slytherin's proud character will not lie about this."

Seeing Dumbledore thinking intently, Ethan continued to explain:

"And he seems to be very dissatisfied that his descendant, Voldemort, used this kind of magic. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped us get the Horcrux diary."

"And Slytherin, as one of the four greatest wizards thousands of years ago," he recalled what Lorna once said to himself, "I don't think he would do such a stupid thing. Someone once told me, no Which wise wizard is willing to split his soul, even to extend his life. After all, death is not scary to them, is it?"

"I think you are right, Ethan." Dumbledore seemed to be convinced, "But our question is still unresolved. If it is not the inheritance of Slytherin, then where did he learn how to make Horcruxes? "

"I don't know about that, sir." Ethan shrugged, "Maybe he once went to Greece and obtained the inheritance of the evil Herbo?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said nothing.

At this moment, there was a loud slamming sound at the office door.

Lucius Malfoy rushed in menacingly, carrying a shivering, bandaged house-elf under his arm.

Who else could it be but Dobby?

Behind them were a panting Harry and Hermione.

"I told him you were talking, sir," Harry shouted angrily, "and yet he insisted on barging in!"

Lucius Malfoy ignored Harry, but stared at Dumbledore coldly and said:

"Okay! You're back. The board of directors suspended you, but you still returned to Hogwarts on your own initiative."

"Oh, that's right, Lucius," Dumbledore said with a calm smile, "Today, the other eleven directors have contacted me. They heard that Arthur Weasley's son was murdered. Even if they are dead, they all want me to come here immediately.”

"They also told me some strange stories. Some of them seemed to believe that you had threatened to curse their families if they did not agree to suspend me."

"That is indeed a very absurd story, Dumbledore." Lucius Malfoy's eyes were filled with anger. "So did you solve the attack? Did you catch the murderer?"

"The incident has been solved, Lucius." Dumbledore still looked tepid. "As for the murderers, one of them has been caught and destroyed by us, while the other walked away on his own. In front of us.”

After hearing these words, the angry expression on Malfoy's face was instantly frozen, and then he changed to a cold and unpredictable face.

"What do you mean, Dumbledore?" Malfoy's voice sounded a little difficult.

"Ah, our Mr. Granger found you stuffing a diary into Ginny Weasley's textbook at Flourish and Blotts, and it was this diary that caused so many attacks, Lucius."

Malfoy stared at Ethan for a moment with squinted eyes, and then he spoke in a smooth, disgusting tone:

"Is there any evidence, Dumbledore? Or are you trying to frame me with the random fabrications of a second-year wizard?"

"It's a pity, I don't think anyone can provide evidence. Because Riddle has disappeared from the diary." Dumbledore said with a smile, "But I want to give you a piece of advice, Lucius. Don't spread Voldemort's student days anymore. Old things. If these things fall into the hands of innocent people again, I think Mr. Arthur Weasley will be able to find clues from you."

Lucius Malfoy left, he came in a strong mood and left as ashen as a mouse.

However, his misfortune didn't stop there, because Harry had already gone to find him excitedly with the destroyed diary.

I believe he will fall into another trap soon at the hands of Harry and Dobby.

"Then, if there is nothing else, I will go back first, sir."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Granger." Dumbledore suddenly took out a letter, "This is the letter Nico sent me. It also contains content related to you. I think you should take a look."

"Is it related to me?" Ethan took the letter and read it doubtfully, but the more he read, the more solemn his expression became.

"Ethan?" Hermione called softly, "What happened?"

"call--"

Ethan breathed out, and he asked Lao Deng with his eyes. After getting permission, he handed the letter to Hermione.

"Principal, I would like to apply to leave school early and go to France."

"No problem Mr. Granger," Dumbledore said with a smile, "I will ask the professors to prepare a separate final exam paper for you as soon as possible. You can leave school after taking the exam."

"Ahem," Ethan coughed twice awkwardly, "It's not necessary."

"I think it's still necessary. If you repeat a grade because you didn't take the exam, Miss Granger will become your senior sister."

"Ah, okay then. I just want to trouble you, professors."

"You don't have to worry about that. It's easy for professors to produce a set of test papers. In fact, Professor Lockhart has already prepared the final test papers in advance. You can start taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts course soon."

"Haha, Professor Lockhart is really dedicated..."

Hermione also finished reading the letter and handed it back to the principal.

"Ethan, can I also go to France with you?" She said with some anticipation.

"Well, Hermione, I'm not going to France this time for a trip."

"I know, but I should be able to help."

"But what about uncle and aunt, could it be..."

"Mom and dad's time is completely flexible, and I think they won't mind starting this French vacation early."

"Why don't you agree, Mr. Granger?" Lao Deng also interjected, "No matter what happens, I think Miss Granger will always be your best helper."

"Well, actually I don't really want to be separated from you for so long." Ethan thought about it and felt that it wasn't a big problem.

So, a few days later, after saying a simple goodbye to his friends, Ethan and Hermione's family got on a plane to France.
