From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

"A very complete paper, Hermione." Ivy sighed and rolled up Hermione's paper on the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and the monster in it.

"You have done what all the headmasters and many powerful wizards could not do, and found the chamber hidden in the castle." It seems that the best way to stimulate Hermione's potential is to give her homework, just like Gauss solved the "ruler and compass construction of a regular 17-gon" that had troubled mathematicians for 2000 years in one night. He only thought it was an after-school homework at the time.

"But Professor Lockhart..." Hermione bit her lip, "He obviously has already given the monster in the chamber of secrets to..."

"People can lie, Hermione. But facts won't." Ivy was a little distressed. He didn't want to expose the chamber of secrets so early. Although it was a good thing to let Hagrid clear his name, there was no place to put the basilisk inside now. Letting it sleep in the chamber of secrets was the best solution.

Now that Hermione has handed the paper to him, he can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. At least he has to deal with the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk before Dumbledore finds out about it through the portraits scattered throughout the castle.

The reason why Ivy chose to teach Cassandra in the clock tower is based on this consideration. There are the fewest portraits here in the castle.

"I don't believe it..." Hermione shook her head with tears in her eyes, and the messy hair on her head seemed to become listless. "Professor Lockhart is so powerful..."

The farthest distance in the world is yearning, which can make people blind. The adventurer Lockhart in Hermione's mind is not the real Lockhart, but an image born out of novels and the fantasy of little girls, and was imposed on the big talker Lockhart by Hermione.

In fact, Hermione had already seen that something was wrong with Lockhart, but her brain convinced herself to selectively ignore the evidence.

Now that more pointed facts have been exposed, Hermione has found that Lockhart's words and deeds are completely untenable. On one side is her speculation based on facts, and on the other side is her idol.

"I suggest you calm down and think about it, Hermione." Ivy comforted him. He wanted to stabilize the little witch, at least before he got everything in the Chamber of Secrets. "When will Lockhart want this paper?"

"I told him that I would give it to him after the Christmas holiday..." Hermione said hesitantly.

"There is still a lot of time," Ivy breathed a sigh of relief. Ample time means that he doesn't have to take risks to use other means, such as clearing the little witch's memory. "You should breathe some fresh air and have a good snowball fight with your friends. Many times, troubles will flow away with sweat."

"But..." Hermione wanted to refute. She was a bit nerdy, as if it was a blasphemy not to spend every minute reading in Hogwarts. What's more, she even reads for entertainment. Ivy at least feeds magical animals and goes to the forbidden forest to release a few big melons to relieve stress.

"No buts, rest is for better progress. The road of magic is long, and those who never stop will eventually die halfway. You should learn to allocate time reasonably." Ivy rolled the parchment into a tube and tapped Hermione's furry head, "I will hand this paper to Lockhart for you after Christmas. During this period, you should stop thinking about the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione's brown eyes stared at Ivy's face for a long time before she moved her eyes away and said in a weak voice: "Okay... I know." Watching Hermione turn away in despair, Ivy whispered: "Cassandra, today's teaching ends here, I have other things to do." "What a naive, immature guy..." Cassandra whispered, "She must have a happy family." "If I remember correctly, you are the same age." Ivy glanced at Cassandra and laughed softly. ————

Dumbledore's office was still the same. The old headmasters hanging on the wall were still snoring, and the silverware that spewed steam and smoke never stopped. Ivy always suspected that it was a magic humidifier, but did the British weather really need humidification?

Fawkes on the perch had completely turned into a bald chicken, and it seemed that he was only a few seconds away from Nirvana.

When Ivy passed by it, he heard a scream as if his neck was stuck.

"Welcome, Ivy." The old wizard with a white beard sat in his chair, and seemed very surprised by Ivy's sudden visit.

Before Ivy had time to say hello, Fawkes, the bald chicken on the perch, caught fire.

With a scream that seemed to be dying, the phoenix turned into a ball of flame, then burst into a flash of light, and then turned into a handful of ashes and fell to the ground.

"Has it been half a year since it started to lose its feathers?" Ivy carefully looked at the chick that had just emerged from the ashes. It was wrinkled and as ugly as the old bird.

"Yes. It has been half a year since it started shedding its feathers during your summer vacation." Dumbledore waved his big, bony hands, built a nest for the young bird Fawkes, and placed it in place.

"Does it take so long for the Phoenix to be reborn every time?" Ivy moved a chair for himself and sat down and asked.

"Not necessarily, it took too long this time and doesn't seem as firm as usual." Dumbledore put a plate of candy on the table, which was Muggle candy that would not move, "Try it, Keith's new product. His life is sweet every day now!"

Keith was a Muggle candy store owner whom Dumbledore met last year. Ivy had met him once, but he didn't expect that they had business dealings.

Ivy picked a candy that looked like an orange peel and put it in his mouth, then explained his purpose: "I found the Chamber of Secrets."

Dumbledore stopped before putting the candy in his mouth, his eyes flashing with surprise: "Are you sure, Ivy? This is very important."

"Take a look at this." Ivy put Hermione's paper on the table, "About Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and the monster in it."

Dumbledore spread out the parchment without saying a word and examined it carefully.

"Hmm... Now I understand." Dumbledore relaxed, as if a mystery that had troubled him for a long time was finally solved. "It turns out that the bathroom where Myrtle died is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets... She died because of staring into the eyes of the basilisk..."

"It's not easy for Miss Granger to find this." Dumbledore laughed, "Why did she write this paper?"

"I guess Lockhart was preparing for his new book, so he found three students to do free work for him." Ivy replied.

"Haha..." Dumbledore's white beard trembled, "I didn't expect that he actually helped find the Chamber of Secrets. Originally, I just wanted him to be a bad example for students, so that they know what they shouldn't be like. Fate is really interesting, isn't it?"

"You didn't have much good intentions from the beginning to invite a liar to be a professor at Hogwarts." Ivy said sarcastically, "First fool this year, then send Lockhart to Azkaban, and then find the next unlucky guy?"

"You misunderstood me, Ivy." Dumbledore showed a cunning smile on his face, "I do intend to expose his tricks, but I will only hand him over to the Ministry of Magic. After all, his behavior can be regarded as an abuse of magic!"

"However, if Professor Victor is willing to return to his loyal Hogwarts, I can indeed consider dismissing him immediately." Dumbledore put his fingers together and invited Ivy.

"Forget about it. I'm not interested in teaching a bunch of energetic brats." Ivy rolled her eyes. "The truth about Myrtle's death will not only declare Hagrid innocent, but also lead to another thing."

Dumbledore leaned forward slightly, making a listening gesture.

"Voldemort used Myrtle's death to split a piece of his soul and made his first Horcrux, a diary." Ivy placed the Tome of the Rule of Monsters on the table.

This strange object made with Voldemort's soul fragment has lost all its effects and will not be restored until a hundred years later, so there is no text on it, except for the signature "Tom Riddle" written on the first page.

"What on earth is this..." Dumbledore turned the title page, and the name of Voldemort's student immediately came into view, "Too amazing... You destroyed the soul fragments in the Horcrux without harming the carrier?"

"I didn't destroy it, but I exhausted it." Ivy said the words he had thought of long ago. Although there were many loopholes, he didn't think of hiding it from Dumbledore all the time. He just needed to have a similar statement. "If all the Horcruxes were destroyed, Voldemort would be trapped in the middle of the gap, unable to move forward or retreat and become a ghost. He found the worst way for himself."

"I have been shocked too many times today..." Dumbledore shook his head, "I'm a little confused about whether this is a dream, or... I thought Voldemort was a very difficult guy to deal with. My past experience told me so. But now... Tom's arrangement is almost useless..."

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!

"By the way, Ivy, where did it come from?" Dumbledore suddenly came to his senses.

"Lucius gave it to me as an investment and as a proof of trust." Ivy said calmly, "He can't become a Death Eater again. By studying the Dark Mark on his arm, I found that our Potions professor seems to have..."

"Your sharpness is amazing..." Dumbledore said with a wry smile, "But please give me some time about Severus... There are too many things to digest today... I'm just an old man, and my brain is not as good as before..."

"Then I'm afraid you will have a headache for a while." Ivy's fingers tapped on the table, and with the sound of dongdong, the teapot poured a cup of tea for each of them, "And the Chamber of Secrets and the basilisk inside."

"Oh - spare me." Dumbledore groaned, and the wise old wizard was indeed tired.

Ivy's strategy was exactly like this, pouring all the useful information in Dumbledore's face, leaving him no time to distinguish which ones were the most important. Even if Dumbledore could use magic to review this memory again, the impact of multiple heavy bombs would undoubtedly affect his judgment.

It was painful enough to search for clues about Voldemort in the memories provided by different witnesses, not to mention this conversation with extremely high information density.

Dumbledore was not like Ivy who could use the 2nd level spell to mechanize his mind to maintain absolute concentration. The old man's energy was not as good as before.

Even if he really disassembled this conversation bit by bit and noticed what Ivy wanted to hide, then Ivy's goal was achieved.

Just like Dumbledore, he used Lohart to make the school teachers and students for a year, and Avi also confused Dumbledore with all kinds of secrets.

As long as Dumbledore did not disagree during this time, the probability of his always bombing will become smaller, let alone Avi would be stronger at that time.

"The secret room relies on the snake cavity to open it. It is estimated that the legend of the secret room of Hogwarts has been circulating in Hogwarts's family. Said, "In the past thousand years, no principal can find the existence of the secret room, but Hogwarts's internal facilities have been replaced several times. At least, we have used the water pumping toilet."

Dumbledore hasn't spoken anymore, but he is constantly drinking tea, and he can see that he is doing high -intensity mental activity.

"Let's go? The principal, the snake monster in the secret room is still waiting." Ai Wei smiled evilly and got up from the chair.

"You really don't know how to respect the elderly at all." Dumbledore complained and stood up.

————————

Standing in the dark hall of the secret room, Dumbledore sighed: "All are magical masterpieces ... I really don't know how Slytherin did ... the great four giants, Hogwarts's sages ... ... "

"What surprised me even more is that you learned to the snake cavity?" Dumbledore looked at Avi behind Sarah Slytherin.

"I have told you, I can talk to all animals." Avi did not intend to explain, and read the secret saying in the snake guy. "Talk to me, Slytherin -Hogwarts's four giants The greatest one. "

The statue's mouth opened and turned into a black hole entrance. Avi stood beside and made a request.

Dumbledore sighed silently and slipped along the pipeline.

"The snake cavity can make the snake monster fall into a state of hibernation. This is why only Tao Jinniang has died under its stare in the past thousand years." Looking at the sleeping snake monster in the palace, Aiwei sounded lightly. It explains, "It has lived in the underground underground for a thousand years. It takes the mice in the castle as a murder all day. It is also used as a murderous tool. It is so pitiful."

Dumbledore's scales of the snake monsters looked at the scales of the snake monster, and said, "I can understand you ... but it is a threat to the students in the castle."

"With me, it will not be a threat." Avi laughed. "I will find a good place for it, and I will find a way to make its eyes no longer have lethality, but all this takes time. . Before Voldemort returned, I would be responsible for it. "
