Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"It's crazy that you want to drive Dumbledore away!" Mr. Weasley stood up and shouted, "Don't think I don't know, it must be a conspiracy behind your back, Malfoy!"

"Very nasty slander, Weasley! It's hard to imagine a Ministry of Magic official being so unrefined, but considering the absurd things you've done before, it doesn't seem so surprising." Lucius turned his head lightly He smiled, "Minister, if I were you, I would definitely drive this guy out of the Ministry of Magic."

"Dear Lucius!" Cornelius Fudge played with his top hat absently, "I don't think this is the time to pursue these matters. Arthur's son was brought into the secret room, he was just a little excited. And I also Don't think deposing Dumbledore is a good idea."

"This is an internal matter of Hogwarts, all twelve of our directors voted!" Lucius blinked triumphantly.

"Malfoy, how many people have you threatened and blackmailed to force them to agree!" Hagrid stood up abruptly, rubbing his shaggy, black head against the ceiling, "You can't dismiss Dumbledore Lido, if you really do this, Hogwarts will have no chance of survival!"

"My god, my god, your bad temper will get you into trouble one day, Hagrid!" Malfoy said with a sneer, "I want to give you a piece of advice, don't yell at the guards of Azkaban like that Screaming, they won't like it. Is that so, Minister?"

"Yeah, yes, I mean, what we need to do now is to find out the truth as soon as possible." Fudge nodded, "Hagrid, I hope you will come with us."

"If what you call finding out the truth is simply catching innocent people..."

"Look at it from my point of view, Minerva!" Fudge said nervously, "I'm under a lot of pressure, I have to do something. If it turns out it's not Hagrid, he will come back, in a word nor."

"Don't worry, I think we will know all the truth soon!" Dumbledore suddenly noticed something, he turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Minerva, can you please go out to meet Mr. Mason, Potter Sir, Mr Weasley and Miss Granger!"

"What?!" Everyone looked at Dumbledore in surprise, and those children came back from the secret room!

Back to 10 minutes ago, several people took Lockhart out of the secret room.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Ai Wen deliberately pulled out a basilisk's fangs. This thing is a good thing, and the venom on it makes its attack power amazing.

With it, there is no need to worry about not being able to destroy the Horcrux in the future.

Then they stepped over the basilisk's motionless, coiled corpse, through the dark, empty, echoing chamber, back into the tunnel.With Fox's help, they flew back through the long, black pipes to the girls' bathroom on the third floor.

Ivan originally planned to go to the school hospital first, but Fox led them outside Dumbledore's office.

Professor McGonagall has got the news, she was waiting there with a face of panic, when she saw that Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were covered with mud and slime, especially the robes of Ivan and Harry There was still blood on her face, she grabbed her chest with her hands suddenly, gasping for air.

A few seconds later, she sent Lockhart to the school hospital, and Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione took the spiral staircase into the principal's office.

The door had just opened, and there was silence all around.

"Ron!" screamed Mrs. Weasley and jumped to his feet, and behind him Mr. Weasley, both of them outstretched their arms, came and put their arms around Ron.

Following the two of them was Hagrid, who immediately embraced Ivan, Harry, and Hermione in his arms and held them tightly.

Alvin looked past him and quickly glanced into the room.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. It seemed that before they came in, the principal's office seemed to be very lively.

Chapter 63 Special Contribution Award

"Thank God!" Mrs. Weasley walked up to Harry and Ivan, "You saved Ron, you saved him! How did you do it?"

"That's what we all want to know." Snape stared at them closely.

Ivan and Harry glanced at each other quietly, and Ivan curled his lips towards Dumbledore, signaling that Harry would describe what happened in the chamber of secrets.After hesitating for a moment, Harry walked to the desk and put the Sorting Hat, the silver sword inlaid with rubies, and the remains of Riddle's diary, all on the table.

Then he began to tell everyone what happened.

He spoke for about a quarter of an hour, and everyone listened so intently that the room was completely silent.

He said that he always heard that disembodied, ghost-like voice, and after investigation, they learned from Hagrid what happened when the chamber of secrets was opened 50 years ago, so they deduced that there was a basilisk in the chamber of secrets. Lurks in water pipes and wanders around the school, attacking students.

Immediately afterwards, he talked about the two battles that took place in the common room and the secret room, how he and Ivan were brought to the secret room by the basilisk, how Aiwen was hit by Riddle's spell, and how Fox managed to escape in time. When he arrived, how did the Sorting Hat give him the sword, and how he used the sword to kill the basilisk.

But then, his voice became hesitant.

He had avoided mentioning Riddle's diary and mentioned Ron in the past.

At this moment, Ron was standing by the fire with his head bowed, his face was disappointed, and tears rolled down his cheeks silently.

Harry was thinking nervously, if he said Riddle controlled Ron to do all this, but Riddle's diary was out of order, how could they prove that Riddle forced Ron to do those things? !

"Potter, get to the point!" Snape reminded in a low voice, "We only care about who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and why did that stupid basilisk take Weasley away?"

"It's because..." Harry didn't know what to say.

Especially since Snape had asked the question, even though he had saved them in the common room.But Harry was sure that if given the chance to expel them all from Hogwarts, Snape would not be relentless.

"Professor, Voldemort did all of this, including the one 50 years ago." Ivan's voice sounded at the right time.

Suddenly hearing Voldemort's name, the room fell silent. The Weasleys, Hagrid, and Cornelius Fudge shivered. Snape had a very strange expression. As for Lucius, who had been huddled in the corner, Malfoy felt a little unnatural all of a sudden.

"God, you, you mean this is all done by the mysterious person?" Fudge said in surprise, "Wasn't it Hagrid that time 50 years ago, he was caught by a student, and we even awarded a certificate for it." Special Contribution Award, it's all well documented."

"Connelly, I told you a long time ago that Hagrid was wronged. He is as innocent as all of us." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Yes, yes, you did say that, but the student who caught Hagrid..." Fudge said uncertainly.

"His name is Tom Riddle, and he was Voldemort in his student days. He was the one who planned to launch a series of attacks in the castle. Harry and I stopped his plot in the secret room."

Hearing Ivan's words, Fudge took a half step back nervously. Although he had just heard Harry finish speaking, he couldn't imagine how two little wizards aged eleven or twelve could defeat a powerful black wizard and a snake weird.

The whole thing sounds like a fantasy.

"Mr. Minister, since we have stopped Voldemort's plot and saved Hogwarts." Ivan stared closely at Fudge, and said with a smile on his lips, "Then me, Harry, Hermione and Ron, Can I also get a special contribution award?"

"What?!" Fudge was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay, since you defeated the mysterious man, I think there should be no problem, but it needs to be discussed with the school board within the department, and it should be in a few days... "

"That's great, thank you, Mr Minister!"

Aiwen jumped up happily, and said quickly, "If possible, I would like you to present the award to us in person. This news can be published on our "Hogwarts Wizardry" and "Daily Prophet" Published, I believe everyone will appreciate these things that the Ministry of Magic has done."

"No problem, my dear boy! I will probably visit Hogwarts again tomorrow with your special contribution trophy and Hagrid's pardon."

Hearing that the reputation of the Ministry of Magic will not be damaged by this incident, Fudge looked very happy, "Albus, now that everything has come to light, I must leave. You know, there are still many things waiting for me in the Ministry." do it."

He greeted everyone and turned to leave the Headmaster's office, Snape following.

"Although we all know that Voldemort planned all this." After Fudge left, Dumbledore said gently, "but I'm still curious, how did Voldemort confuse Ron? Because according to my sources, He is currently hiding in the forests of Albania."

"What?!" Mrs. Weasley said in a startled voice, "You mean that the mysterious man confused Ron, but Ivan just said that they were together..."

"Professor, it's all about this diary."

Harry said quickly, grabbing the diary and showing it to Dumbledore, "It was written when Riddle was sixteen."

Dumbledore took the diary from Harry's hand, his eyes shot down his long hooked nose, gazing intently at the damp, charred pages.

Aiwen can be sure that the other party must have recognized it as a Horcrux.

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

He turned and told the Weasleys something about Voldemort's school days.

"But I don't understand why Ron has anything to do with him?"

"Because of his diary!" Ron said disappointedly, "I found it in Ginny's transformation textbook, and I wrote on it for a whole year, and he kept talking back to me. Ivan was right, I'm such a bastard, I'd rather trust a diary than my friends."

"My God, Ron!" said Mr. Weasley, dumbfounded. "Didn't I teach you? What I've always told you, never trust anything that can think for itself unless you see it clearly Where is the mind hidden. This suspicious diary is obviously full of black magic and sorcery!"

"Don't blame Ron, Mr. Weasley." Ivan said hastily, "Ron saved Ginny when the basilisk attacked in the common room."

"In fact, very few wizards can break free from Voldemort's magical control!" Dumbledore added, "Arthur, you should be proud of Ron, and I believe he must have got enough in this matter." Lessons."

"It's touching!" Just when everyone thought the matter was over like this, Lucius Malfoy suddenly stood up from the corner, and he said with a sneer, "Dumbledore, rather than caring about a ridiculous diary and The child's self-esteem, I think we should get back to the topic, about your suspension from the board of directors..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a letter suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's desk.

"I just wanted to tell you about this, Lucius!" Dumbledore said calmly, "I just got in touch with the other eleven directors. After discussion, they finally seemed to think that I was the most suitable for this Work."

"So it's like this..." Lucius narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"Besides, they also told me some interesting things. It seems that someone is threatening them that if they don't agree to let me leave, they will curse their family." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.

"What a good joke!" Lucius' face was paler than usual, and his eyes were spitting out anger, "In that case, I'll take my leave too, and I hope Hogwarts won't have this kind of joke again in the future." The attack! Otherwise, as a school director, I will be very troubled!"

Chapter 64 Dumbledore's Temptation

Lucius turned to leave, but Dobby the house-elf standing behind him was behaving strangely.

His lightbulb-sized eyes stared thoughtfully at Harry, pointing at the diary on Dumbledore's desk, pointing at Malfoy, and hitting himself on the head with his fist.

A light flashed in Harry's mind, and he suddenly understood.

He nodded to Dobby, and Dobby flinched back into the corner, pulling his ear again as punishment.

"Mr. Malfoy, don't you want to know how Ron got the diary?" said Harry.

"Hmph!" Lucius looked at Harry in disgust, "My time is very precious, and I'm not interested in paying attention to how a stupid 12-year-old boy got a ridiculous diary."

"Is that so..." Harry dragged his voice, "Ron said just now that he found this diary from Ginny's transformation textbook, and I remember that you just picked up Ginny's transformation in Lihen Bookstore. The textbook, you must have taken the opportunity to secretly stuff the diary inside, didn’t you?”

Hearing his words, Mr. Weasley jumped up and looked at Lucius Malfoy angrily. If Mrs. Weasley hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed up.

Ivan noticed that Lucius' pale hands were clenched into fists, and then loosened.

"Is there proof?" he said hoarsely.

"Oh, no one can provide evidence!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "After all, Riddle has disappeared from this book, but, Lucius, I want to give you a piece of advice, don't spread the words of Voldemort's student days." Old things from the old ones. If any more of these fall into innocent hands, at least Arthur will be sure to find out where they came from you!"

Lucius Malfoy stood still for another moment, his right hand moved as if to reach for his wand, but he restrained himself.

"I'll take your advice to heart, Dumbledore." He turned to the house-elf. "Here we go, Dobby!"

He twisted open the door, and the house-elf came running in a hurry, and Lucius kicked him out the door, and Dobby's screams of pain could be heard fading down the corridor.

Looking at Lucius' back, Ivan silently mourned for him in his heart. Poor Malfoy, he probably didn't know that the diary he stuffed out would be Voldemort's Horcrux.When Voldemort returned in two years' time, he would have a hard time.

Harry stood there staring at the diary, frowning and thinking hard for a moment.

"Professor Dumbledore!" he said hastily, "may I please return this diary to Mr Malfoy?"

"Of course, Harry!" Dumbledore said calmly, "But after this, you need to go to the school hospital. Madam Pomfrey has prepared a cure for you."

Harry grabbed the diary and rushed out of the office. Ivan thought for a while, and hurriedly whispered something in Hermione's ear. She nodded and ran over. Ron, Hagrid, and the Slys also had expressions on their faces. Followed worriedly.

In a blink of an eye, only Dumbledore and Ivan were left in the office.

"Sit down, Ivan!" Dumbledore pointed to the chair in front of him, "It seems that you have something to say to me."

Ivan nodded, and sat on it cautiously. Since Dumbledore's attention has been attracted, he must not be able to hide, so it is better to take the initiative.

"Relax, do you need some cockroach piles? I heard you like it very much." Dumbledore picked up a can of candy from the table and reached out to Ivan.

"No, professor!" Ivan shook his head hastily. He only advertised this kind of candy in the newspaper once. Who knows how it spread that he likes it.

"Actually, I also have something to tell you. First of all, I must thank you for helping Harry in the Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore's eyes sparkled, "I haven't seen you for a long time except Riddle I have never had such an excellent little wizard like you. Seeing you seems to remind me of an old friend."

Although the other party said it easily, Ai Wen was secretly vigilant in his heart.

He knows Dumbledore's dark history, and his old friend probably only has the first generation of the Dark Lord. This is not a happy evaluation.

"You are overrated, professor!" Ivan said modestly, "I just know a little more than other people in my grade. In Hermione's words, I'm just studying hard."

"It's not as simple as dying to read. I have read the articles you wrote. I have subscribed to almost every issue of the "Hogwarts Wizardry" you run."

"Professor, if you mean the article on the academic research section, I'm sorry, it was provided to me by Riddle. I didn't know he was Voldemort at the time."

"Yeah, those studies are indeed very in-depth. As I said just now, Riddle may be the best student Hogwarts has ever seen." Dumbledore stared at Ivan, "You are very similar to him in some ways , but you two are different, you have your own friends."

Hearing the other party's words, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this was Dumbledore's recognition of himself, his relationship with Harry, his attitude towards power, and his Muggle background finally made the other party let go of his guard.

Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that under Dumbledore's close attention, he still had any secrets at Hogwarts.

If there is a little dangerous action, I'm afraid it will be killed in the bud without hesitation.

After all, Dumbledore is already old, and he cannot allow the appearance of the third generation of Dark Lord.

But then again, Aiwen really has no interest in power, immortality, rights, bloodlines and so on.

So, Dumbledore was just worrying blindly.

Just when Ivan was about to leave to find Harry, Dumbledore suddenly asked, "Ivan, do you know what that diary is?"

"I know, it's a Horcrux!" Ivan said directly.

The next second, he jumped up directly!

Damn it, I obviously planned to hide it. It is not a wise thing to reveal his strength prematurely. Although he intends to fight Voldemort, he does not want to be regarded as a pawn that can be sacrificed by Dumbledore at any time.

But I don't know why, Dumbledore's voice seems to have a magical power, which can make people unconsciously say everything in their hearts.

Hearing Ivan's words, Dumbledore was stunned for a long time. This is really a surprising result. He did think that the boy in front of him might have guessed something. He originally planned to reveal some information, but he didn't expect that Ivan already knew so much. too much.

"That's right, it's a Horcrux, can you tell me how you know that?" Dumbledore said kindly.
