[HP] Guardian

After all, something was on his mind. Harry woke up shortly after sleep. Under Madam Pomfrey's repeated inspections, Harry finally walked out of the medical wing again. There was a blizzard all night outside, and there were almost no one in the aisle. Harry was able to move freely. Into the principal's office.

When "Professor" Harry passed, Dumbledore seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Oh! Harry, I think you need some biscuits and a large glass of milk." He pointed to the table piled with sweets, motioning for Harry to sit down there.

"Of course...Professor..." Harry silently paced forward and sat down.

"Harry...you know? Fawkes...he is a phoenix early this morning. When the phoenix is ​​about to die, it will die and regenerate from the ashes." Dumbledore pointed to Fawkes lying on the sycamore branch, And Harry explained "Fawkes just came back to life, suddenly fell off a branch, and stumbled towards the hospital wing... oh! That really freaked me out, he's never done that before, you know he's still pretty much most of the time Beautiful, he...wouldn't want to appear in front of others like this." Fox seemed to approve of Dumbledore's words, he made a chirping voice to tell what happened to him, and then closed his mouth sadly when he realized that his voice hadn't recovered.Harry was extremely ashamed. He guessed that Fox was probably rescued by Kriver...

"Professor...I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so impulsive..." Harry said hesitantly, "I accidentally discovered Professor Lockhart's strangeness, so I followed..." Harry explained to Dumbledore, he found that Lockhart Hart can only forget about the curse, but he suddenly used other spells in the duel. He was a little surprised and went to find Lockhart when no one was there. Sound, he followed all the way to find the entrance of the secret room, and then found the missing Lockhart in the secret room.

Harry half-truthfully said that Dumbledore did not use Legilimency, at least it proved that Dumbledore was still willing to believe it.

"...Riddle's diary was actually brought into school by me...I'm sorry, Professor..." Harry explained the accident at the Ridge Bookstore for Dumbledore during the holiday. He said that he took the wrong book and wanted to return it to Ginny, but The diary was found missing.

Dumbledore picked up the diary from the table, and gazed down his long hooked nose into the damp, charred pages.

"Remarkable," he said softly, "Needless to say, he's probably the best student Hogwarts has ever seen."

"Few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle. I taught him at Hogwarts 50 years ago. He disappeared after leaving school...traveled and traveled to the ends of the world...in the quagmire of the dark arts Deeper and deeper in the center, hanging out with the most evil fellows in the wizarding world, after many dangerous magical transformations, and finally reappearing as Voldemort, people can hardly recognize him. the smart, handsome boy student body president"

"He's in the diary... I didn't know it at first, but later he abandoned Professor Lockhart's body, summoned the basilisk, and devoured his life!" Harry concealed Riddle's words to win him over, he wanted Deng Bullido will not be pleased by these words.

"Oh! That's right! It looks like our Potions professor was too impulsive... Gilderoy attacked Professor Snape in the Chamber of Secrets when he was saving you, of course...it didn't work. But... I think Gilderoy It should be uncomfortable now..." Harry swallowed twitchingly at the corner of his mouth, maybe Lockhart enjoyed the result more.

"By the way, Harry. I have to ask you..." Dumbledore brought the Gryffindor sword over. "How did you get this sword?"

Harry was taken aback for a moment, and he suddenly remembered that the Gryffindor sword was hidden in the sorting hat, and only the real Gryffindor could pull it out.And after he had been the headmaster for a long time, he accidentally summoned the sword out of thin air. Now that the Sorting Hat has been placed in the headmaster's office, but the sword is in his hand, doesn't Dumbledore find it strange?I... Creaver... you have to make a sacrifice.

"Sorry, professor, I don't know too well... When the basilisk was about to attack me, something seemed to come. I heard the basilisk call him Creaver, and that thing fought with the basilisk and scratched the basilisk's Eyes, I didn’t notice when this sword appeared. The spell attack is useless to the basilisk. I can only kill the basilisk with this sword.” Now I can’t tell the truth to Dumbledore, because he is Dumbledore's understanding, if Dumbledore knew all this, he would prevent himself from changing the trajectory of his fate just like Gryffindor.In fact, Harry knew that changing the present would also change the future. What if something happened to Voldemort's demise... He didn't dare to think about it, and could only keep the people around him based on what he knew.

"Harry, this is not an ordinary sword... Only a real Gryffindor can draw the sword of Gryffindor" Dumbledore handed the sword to Harry, Harry clenched his hands tightly, and the ruby ​​suddenly flashed It was shining brightly, just like Godric was holding this sword.Dumbledore blinked and expressed some surprise at this. "I think I can probably guess what attacked the basilisk... We always thought it was just a story..."

"It's like the Chamber of Secrets is just a rumor." Harry replied with a smile, and Dumbledore nodded in agreement. The portraits of the headmasters of Hogwarts in the past looked at the old and young foxes and closed their eyes unbearably.

"Harry, first of all, I have to thank you. You must have shown absolute loyalty to me in the Chamber of Secrets. Only this kind of loyalty can summon Fox to your side, although he may not want to appear like this... Besides, Professor Snape thinks you This time you violated more than 100 school rules and you need to be punished. I agree with that, so I proposed to Professor Snape that he personally guide you. Of course you will receive a special contribution award to the school, and... let me think Think... right, you won two hundred points for Gryffindor" Dumbledore was obviously dissatisfied with his lack of words and taking risks by himself, so he threw him to Snape for further education.Harry looked at Dumbledore aggrievedly, I'm just a scapegoat, okay?

"Oh! Harry, I suggest you need to get a good night's sleep and wait for the mandrake to mature and we will welcome back our classmates. By the way! I have to tell Severus not to send Gildero The Ministry of Magic. I'm going to draft a job ad for the Daily Prophet" he mused. "I don't think Gilderoy is up to our defense professor, we need a new one." The teacher is here to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. My God, the teacher of this class wears out really fast, doesn't he?" Dumbledore said and walked towards the fireplace, ready to Floo Snape explained something.

Harry got up to say goodbye, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lucius Malfoy who was about to push the door, with a furious expression on his face.It was Dobby who was pinched tremblingly under his arm, with bandages all over his body.

"Good evening, Lucius," Dumbledore said pleasantly.

Lucius dashed into the room, nearly knocking Harry over his head.Dobby followed in panic, hunched over, staring at the back seam of his master's robes with a look of helpless terror on his face.

"Things are terrible, and the board of directors feels that you may not have used your talents. How many attacks have occurred so far is two this morning, isn't it? At this rate, Muggle students at Hogwarts will There is not one left, and we all know that it will be a terrible loss for the school..." Lucius was about to continue, when he suddenly found the diary on the table, his face suddenly changed, fortunately, his career as the head of the family was stable for many years.

"Oh! I'm so sorry Lucius, the murderer has been caught this morning." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.

"Oh," Lucius snapped, "who is it?"

"It's the same person as last time, Lucius," said Dumbledore, "but Voldemort is operating through another person this time. With his diary"

He held up the little black book with a big hole running through it, and watched Lucius' reaction closely.Harry, on the other hand, looked at Dobby.Dobby stared at Harry meaningfully with those lightbulb-sized eyes, pointing at the diary and pointing at Lucius, and then slammed his head on the head with his fist.

"So it is..." Lucius said slowly to Dumbledore.

"An ingenious plan," said Dumbledore calmly, still looking into Lucius' eyes. "If this Harry..." Lucius gave Harry a quick stern look..."I didn't find this book Diary. Oops... Our gentleman is going to be blamed, after all, no one can prove that he did not act according to his own will..." Lucius said nothing, his face suddenly seemed to be covered with a mask .

"Fortunately, this diary was found, and Riddle's memory was erased from it. Otherwise, who knows what the consequences will be..."

Lucius forced himself to speak. "It's a blessing," he said awkwardly.

Dobby, who was shrinking behind him, still pointed at the diary first and then at Lucius in a weird way, and then beat his head desperately.Harry gave Dobby a reassuring nod, and Dobby flinched into a corner, punishing himself by scratching his ear again.

"You don't want to know how this diary got into the school, Mr. Malfoy," said Harry.Lucius turned to him "Why should I know" he said "I thought sir should know" said Harry.

"What do you mean?" He saw Lucius' pale hands clenched into fists, and then loosened.

"Riddle has disappeared from the book now. But if these things fall into the hands of innocent people again, at least Arthur Weasley will be able to find out where they came from..." Dumbledore smiled Rounded the field.

Lucius squinted his eyes and stared at the ground, and Harry clearly saw his right hand twitch, as if trying to reach for his wand.He restrained himself, however, and turned to his house-elf and said "Here we go, Dobby!"

He unlocked the door, and the house-elf hurried over, and Lucius kicked him out the door.They could hear Dobby screaming in pain all the way down the corridor.

"Professor Dumbledore," he said hurriedly, "may I return this diary to Mr. Malfoy, please?" "Of course, Harry." Harry grabbed the diary and rushed out of the office.He heard Dobby's screams of pain round the corner, farther and farther away.While quickly taking off a shoe, tore off the sock and stuffed it into the diary.Then he sprinted down a dark corridor.Just as the two men were about to descend the stairs, he overtook them.

"Mr. Malfoy, I have something for you." Lucius looked angrily at the destroyed diary, which was thrown to Dobby, and he looked at Harry, "Harry Potter, there is always One day, you'll end up like your parents," he said softly, "they were nosy fools back then" and he turned to leave.

"Come on, Dobby. Do you hear, come on!" Harry winked at Dobby and told him to open the diary.Dobby held Harry's sock aloft, looking at it excitedly as though it were a priceless treasure.

"The master gave Dobby a sock" said the house-elf in amazement "The master gave Dobby the sock"

"What?" Lucius turned his head angrily, "What did you say?"

"Dobby got a sock" said Dobby incredulously "it was thrown by the master, and Dobby caught it, and Dobby... Dobby is free"

Lucius stood there dumbfounded, staring at the house-elf.Then he sprang at Harry "You've cost me my servant, boy!"

"You are not allowed to hurt Harry Potter!" Lucius fell backwards with a bang.He staggered down the stairs three steps at a time, and finally collapsed in a mess on the platform below.He struggled to his feet, livid, and drew his wand, and Dobby held up one long, powerful finger.

"You can go" he pointed at Lucius below, and said fiercely "You are never allowed to touch Harry Potter. You can go now" Lucius had no other choice.He gave them both a last furious look, wrapped his cloak around him, and turned away.

"Mr. Malfoy, if I were you... would figure out the identity of the person I'm following," Harry said the moment he turned around. "The owner of Tom Riddle's diary, it may be helpful to you." Lucius didn't stop, but Harry knew he heard it.

"Harry Potter set Dobby free!" the elf squealed after Lucius had left, looking up at Harry "Harry Potter set Dobby free!"

"I didn't do anything, Dobby" Harry grinned "you promise me you won't try to protect me anymore"...I don't want to lose any of you...

After finishing everything, Harry returned to the dormitory happily, but... he was almost swallowed by his friends.

"For God's sake, Harry! You tell us where you've been you... you know... Justin and Nick were found this morning... petrified in the hallway... haven't seen you all morning, scared us to death It's...we thought you too..." Ron pushed him on the sofa so that Hermione could scold him, and seeing the little lioness almost cry, Harry felt bad.Maybe Dumbledore was right. He should trust his friends as before. Although they are still immature, they will be teammates who will fight side by side with him in the future. Fighters who stand on one side, only in this way can they better protect the people around them.

"I'm sorry..." Harry told his friends about his experience that night, and finally complained that he was going to work at Snape's, but unfortunately he only got a light sentence from Hermione... Ron shrugged helplessly at Harry Shrugged, the little lioness was so angry that he didn't dare to speak.
