Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 327: Dumbledore loses his composure

The young Voldemort, and the diary containing his sixteen-year-old soul... The amount of information is too much, Professor McGonagall needs to slow down.

"But I want to know more about what happened in the meantime." Dumbledore looked at the basilisk next to Kyle.

Seemingly feeling some kind of fatal threat, the basilisk showed its long fangs and instinctively wanted to open its eyes...

Kyle raised his hand, rounded it and slapped it on the head.

You are a basilisk. If you open your eyes in front of Dumbledore, you really don't want to die, right?

"Snapped!"

 The sound is very crisp.

 In an instant, everyone present widened their eyes, Flitwick was so frightened that he screamed, and Professor Sprout covered his mouth.

 Then they all raised their wands, fearing that the basilisk would swallow Kyle in the next second.

Even Dumbledore has a strange-looking wand in his hand.

However, instead of being furious, the basilisk actually became much quieter, closed its mouth and lay down again.

"Don't worry, Professor." Kyle smiled: "It is now my...pet, and it will not hurt anyone anymore."

The secret room suddenly fell into silence. Even the well-informed professor found it difficult to understand the scene that just happened... This feeling was like seeing Xiu Xiu jump up and slap the fire dragon. The impact was no less than that of the younger one. Voldemort is much younger.

I don’t know how long it took before Snape said:

 “Can I understand that...you want to take the school property as your own?”

He put the wand back in his arms and said matter-of-factly: "This is Slytherin's secret room. This basilisk must be that monster. Since it is Slytherin's legacy, it naturally belongs to... the school."

"No, it's mine." Kyle shook his head, "Mr. Salazar Slytherin gave it to me."

　　　…”

"Headmaster, I think we'd better go to the school hospital quickly." Snape drawled: "Pomfrey should have a way to cure his brain."

 Dumbledore just looked at Kyle,

"It seems that the things you have experienced are more colorful than we imagined."

"It's certainly memorable, Professor." Kyle smiled.

"Wait a minute, Professor Dumbledore..." Snape frowned and said, "You must have believed his lies."

"In fact, I completely believe it, Severus." Dumbledore walked to the statue and squatted down, carefully picked up the time turner, and looked at it carefully in his hand.

It was completely broken, its color had become dull, and there were cracks everywhere, and it could be crushed with the slightest force.

 “I think this is the real legacy of Slytherin...”

Dumbledore said in a trembling voice, "This is the earliest time turner, also called a time rewinder. It can not be constrained by time, and can also allow the user to become like an old friend with someone in the past or future. comminicate."

Dumbledore’s voice became quieter as he spoke, and he shook his hand unconsciously...

 “Click!”

Like a crushed baked potato slice, the time turner broke in half in the middle, and some smaller pieces fell to the ground along the fingers.

Dumbledore quickly wrapped his hand with a magic similar to the Bubble Curse, and picked up all the fallen fragments regardless of appearance.

Even the dust on the ground was put into a bag by him.

"If you don't need to go to the campus hospital..." Dumbledore raised his head, "Kyle, can you have a cup of tea with me?"

"Of course, Professor, I'm very happy." Kyle said, "But can you add two fried pork chops? I haven't eaten for almost a day."

"Even three copies are no problem." Dumbledore smiled.

　　When everyone left the secret room, it was already dawn, and the early morning sunlight shone through the windows on the corridor of the castle.

When they arrived at the principal's office, Fox was already waiting here. He was standing precariously on the basilisk's head, his body heaving violently.

Although the basilisk obeyed Kyle's orders and did not resist, it was still not an easy task for Fox to disapparate with it.

But there was no way, Dumbledore couldn't let it walk across the castle in a big way, and he couldn't worry about it staying in the secret room.

Kyle walked into the principal's office and placed the remains of Riddle's diary on the table.

 “During the holidays, I got this diary…”

Kyle omitted part of the content and just said that he heard some strange noises at the beginning of school and accidentally found the secret room. There is nothing to hide after that.

Kyle told them everything exactly, including how he suddenly returned to a few months ago and saw the Big Four at Hogwarts...

 Obviously, the professors were more interested in this paragraph.

“Incredible.” Professor McGonagall covered her mouth, “So you really saw Godric Gryffindor?”

"Yes, a very reliable person, and very friendly." Kyle said: "It's just that his personality is a bit out of touch and not very stable. The other three seem to be annoyed by him."

 Professor McGonagall's face froze and she stopped talking.

"It's amazing..." Dumbledore said softly. He looked at the professors around him, "Everyone should have gotten up already. Can I ask you to announce the good news.

Moreover, these things that happened are worthy of a banquet to celebrate, and someone in the kitchen also needs to notify them. "

 “No problem.” The professors simply walked towards the door.

 Only Snape hesitated.

　　Since just now, he has been staring at the basilisk entrenched in the corner. His eyes made him want to take it back to his private storage room.

“Principal, I insist that the basilisk is the property of the school.”

Snape said: "And even if he really saw Salazar Slytherin, such a dangerous creature cannot be handed over to a third-year student. Don't forget the attacks that happened before."

"I will give you a satisfactory answer, Severus," said Dumbledore.

 “I hope so.” Snape also left.

"I suddenly found that this place is a bit small..." Dumbledore said thoughtfully after the door was closed.

 “Leave it to me, Professor.” Kyle quickly put down the fried pork chop in his hand, took out the box, and stuffed the basilisk inside.

"This is much more spacious." Dumbledore smiled: "But when you leave, remember to leave the box behind."

 “Okay.” Kyle nodded helplessly.

“Professor Snape is right, I cannot allow a basilisk to appear in the castle, even if it is safe, but...”

Dumbledore blinked, "I will give it to Newt when the school holidays come. This is the best solution."

“You are so thoughtful, Principal.” Kyle put the box on the table simply. “I believe Mr. Scamander can take good care of the basilisk!”

"I also think so."

Dumbledore pushed a piece of custard flan to Kyle, "Try this, I think it's very good."

Kyle cut a piece and put it in his mouth...and never looked at it again.

It’s too sweet. Are all the candies in the kitchen picked up?

 Ten minutes later, Kyle drank the last bit of pumpkin juice and looked up at Dumbledore, who had remained silent.

"There is one more thing, Professor... that was also left to me by Mr. Salazar Slytherin."

 “Yes, you are right, I almost forgot.”

Dumbledore seemed to have just remembered. He removed the plate, then took out the time turner he picked up from the secret room and placed it on the table.

"I have a request, Kyle." He whispered: "Can you... let me keep it?"

"But it's broken, Professor." Kyle said, "The kind that was smashed to pieces after the magic power was exhausted, and you can't even put it back together."

"It can be fixed." Dumbledore murmured: "I know many alchemy masters, and Nico. They must have a way."

"But Professor Dumbledore, we can't change what has happened."

Kyle said intentionally or unintentionally: "And Mr. Godric Gryffindor once warned me never to touch time."

 “I just want to fix it.”

For the first time, Kyle saw dodge in Dumbledore's eyes, and their identities seemed to have been exchanged at this moment.
