Chapter 295 The Tool Man is Online
Dumbledore's story is enough to fill seven books, forming a series.
But the principal was unwilling to tell anyone, and William did not continue to ask.
Under William's careful comfort, Dumbledore finally controlled his emotions.
William hesitated for a moment, chose to change the topic, and continued to ask Hagrid's question.
"The opening of the Chamber of Secrets, what does it have to do with Hagrid?"
"You should know that Hagrid was expelled from the school that year, right?"
William nodded slightly. He knew about it when he first entered school, but Hagrid refused to tell anyone the reason.
"Fifty years ago, Hagrid was just like you, an immature third-year wizard, but he raised a... acromantula in school."
"..." It was really something Hagrid would do!
Although William and Hagrid had a good relationship, one thing to say, he was not wronged at all to be fired.
Is the acromantula something that can be kept in schools?
William was no longer a little wizard who just entered school and didn't know anything.
Back then, Hagrid would take him to stroke Aragog's legs... Leg hair?
Oh my God!
If William encounters an acromantula, he will probably cast a Fierce Fire Curse directly on it, and give it a charcoal-grilled spider hoof!
"But I still don't understand, what does his expulsion have to do with the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was also opened, and a girl died... Everyone didn't know that the monster was a basilisk, and then a student reported Hagrid and raised an acromantula, so he happened to be the one who took the blame."
"Fifty years ago... Tom Riddle reported it?" William was stunned.
"That's right." Dumbledore nodded, "When we look back at this matter now, it's easy to find the problem.
But at the time, except for my doubts, everyone believed that the murderer was Hagrid. "
William nodded.
That's right,
At that point at that time: one was an outstanding student, the excellent student that the professors liked, and the prefect;
One is a silly big guy who likes to raise strange creatures, and he did raise little monsters at school...
You are a professor, who do you trust?
Let's look at this again today:
One is the murderous Dark Lord; the other is the key administrator who has worked hard at Hogwarts for decades...
The answer is self-evident.
But the reason why this matter has not been overturned is very simple... There is no evidence.
Can you still bring Voldemort to trial?
Even if Voldemort is captured, he still has a reason: "You can't just say that I was bad when I was in school just because I became bad in the future, right?
Don't put any plugs on my nose! "
Moreover, most of the people who experienced this incident have passed away... Even those who are still alive are at least sixty or seventy years old.
No one would think of reversing the verdict of what happened half a century ago.
and many more……
In a way, Hagrid's arrest was not a bad thing.He was not at school, and another attack occurred, which naturally proved that he had nothing to do with it.
Now there are only five victims, and the diary with obsessive-compulsive disorder must make up the number of seven!
William spoke his mind, but Dumbledore shook his head.
"William, I think a sixth victim has emerged."
"Who?"
"Lockhart."
"how can that be possible?"
Dumbledore said calmly: "There are not many people who know that I wrote poems before, and Tom Riddle happened to be one of them 50 years ago."
"How could he know?"
"Tom asked around for my likes, to flatter me, to compliment me."
"That sounds weird."
More than just weird, the headmaster almost said: To lick me!
It turns out that Voldemort was also a licking dog.
"It's not what you think, William." Dumbledore squinted his eyes, "Tom back then was completely different from Voldemort later, it can be said that he is a different person.
Tom knows the hobbies of all professors. He likes to study, develop various connections, and is good at wrapping himself with outstanding appearance and amazing talent.
I have said more than once that Voldemort was more terrifying when he was young than he was later...not because of his magical attainments, but because he knew how to confuse people and carry out conspiracies. "
William nodded... That's true, a reckless man is not scary, I'm afraid that this reckless man will use his brain!
"So you think Lockhart knew you were a poet, the diary told him?"
"That's just one of the reasons." Dumbledore said in a low voice.
"And the magic that Lockhart unleashes on Valentine's Day...is the improvement of the Dark Mark.
Of course, there are many wizards who can cast the Dark Mark, so I will cast it.
During the Wizarding Wars back then, I liked to use the Dark Mark the most to lure those Death Eaters over. "
Fuck... ruthless!
I don't know what kind of idiots those Death Eaters must have been when they were attracted to find Dumbledore standing under the Dark Mark.
"Tom invented this magic when he was in school.
In order to show a sense of ritual, they will release this mark on campus after playing a prank. "
"So, you think it's the diary remembering the past?"
"Yeah, old things like that, don't they?" Dumbledore shrugged.
"In addition, Lockhart reported Hagrid to the Ministry of Magic, claiming that he had caught the attacker of the Chamber of Secrets..." William continued.
"It should be instigated by the diary. It wants to repeat its old tricks, trying to frame the blame and divert attention."
William received information from Rita that Lockhart had reported to the Ministry of Magic that Hagrid was the Chamber of Secrets opener.
That's why Lockhart thought he'd catch the attacker when school started on Christmas, because the diary gave him a hint.
"That's right, all signs indicate that the diary once appeared in Lockhart's hands..." Dumbledore crossed his hands and sighed softly:
"Then referring to Ron, Lockhart should be the sixth victim."
William raised his eyebrows, and he noticed that the headmaster used a word - 'once'.
"I do guess it was once." Dumbledore's eyes flashed a trace of solemnity.
"The diary gave me such a clear signal that there was no reason for him to stay with Lockhart.
It's like he exposed Ron and left immediately... this is a cautious guy. "
"It's a diary...how did it leave?" William said.
"Yeah, we have to pay attention to this question, how did the diary leave Ron then, and how does it leave Lockhart now?" asked Dumbledore.
"This shows that Hogwarts... has an inner ghost?!"
"Yes, very likely!" Dumbledore nodded, "There may be a wizard working on the diary."
Both were silent.
After an unknown amount of time, Dumbledore suddenly confessed: "William, when the Phoenix appears, I need you to go to the Chamber of Secrets and save Harry."
"Uh-huh?!"
William was stunned, what the hell... Is he going to become the principal's tool man again?
Sure enough, what should come will always come!
Don't rely on William's will!
