Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 135 Hostage

"It was Hagrid, Maple, it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago!" Harry said, sweating profusely and trembling all over.

When Harry told Maple what happened, Maple also didn't expect that such a thing would happen while he was dating.

Maple immediately thought that when Lockhart's dwarf tore Harry's school bag to pieces, someone took the opportunity to stuff it into Harry's book.

But there were so many people around Harry at that time, who put the diary in it?It's a pity that Maple didn't pay attention to the situation around Harry at that time, and missed this best opportunity to find Claire Pandora.

Although I regret this, now that Riddle's diary has appeared, there are some things that I no longer need to worry about.

For example, the basilisk can already be considered to be killed.

Harry somewhat wished he hadn't seen what had just happened. He finally understood why Hagrid disappeared. He was probably captured by the Ministry of Magic.

"I still don't believe Hagrid is the murderer!" The next day, Harry told Hermione his experience again.

"I also think Hagrid is innocent. Otherwise, if he was captured, the attacks should have stopped." Maple also agreed with Hermione's point of view.

"But the attacks have indeed stopped!" Harry whispered. He and Hagrid had the closest relationship among the people present. Harry really didn't want to believe that Hagrid was the murderer.

"Harry, have you forgotten those roosters that were attacked?" Maple asked.

"But, Riddle-"

"Harry, Hagrid has been with you for so long. Isn't Hagrid more worthy of your trust than an inexplicable stranger?"

"Maple, do you think there's something wrong with Riddle?" Hermione understood what Maple meant and said.

"You have forgotten that to control the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, one must speak Parseltongue. Is Hagrid a Parseltongue?" Maple asked rhetorically.

"Hagrid is definitely not a Parseltongue!" Hermione said with seeming certainty.

Maple immediately understood that Hermione read a lot of books, and she seemed to have discovered Hagrid's giant ancestry.

The blood of giants is like the genes of black people. The descendants of black people are all black. The blood of giants is very resistant to magic. Even if Hagrid's father is a parselmouth, it will be difficult for the half-giant Hagrid to use this magic. Talent is inherited.

"So Hagrid was wronged!" Harry said excitedly, and then suddenly lost: "Hagrid was captured, how should we save him?"

"It's very simple, just catch the real murderer." Maple said.

"There must be something wrong with this Riddle," Maple said, conjuring a box to seal Riddle's diary inside, and then imposing heavy seals on the outside of the box.

"Hermione, help me, Heaven and Earth Lock!"

"Yeah!" Hermione also pulled out her wand, and the two of them cast the Heavenly Lock of Heaven and Earth in the Maoshan Technique.In Zombie Taoist Master, Mao Xiaofang uses this trick to lock the magic power of a great living Buddha of Tantric Buddhism.

"Ah! What did you do to me, damn it!" Riddle in the diary seemed to be screaming hysterically at the moment, but after being blocked, he could do nothing.

"Any magical item with a mind is dangerous. This diary should be given to Professor Dumbledore for inspection."

Although they couldn't contact Dumbledore, they could contact Nicolas Flamel, who had a close relationship with Dumbledore, at any time. They believed that Nicolas Flamel would have a way to contact Dumbledore.

Although Maple knew that the diary was a Horcrux, it was best to leave it to Dumbledore without revealing his foresight. Moreover, it was only after Dumbledore saw the diary that he realized that Voldemort's immortality was due to a Horcrux.

"Dobby said that the secret room had been opened before. Now we can confirm that it was opened 50 years ago, and a student was killed at that time. We can follow this clue to trace it." Maple concluded.

After the three-person meeting ended, Maple immediately contacted Nicoléme using her communication watch and told him about the situation in the diary.

After Maple contacted Nicolas Flamel, he also planned to give the diary to Nicolas Flamel.However, Maple didn't plan to use the owl. He felt that it would be better to hand something as important as a Horcrux directly into the opponent's hands.

"Apparate!" Maple was finally able to Apparate from Hogsmeade to London in one go, and then take the Knight Bus from London.Because Apparition requires positioning, Maple needs to transfer once and Apparate twice to get to Devon.

So I had to take the Knight Bus for a short walk.

"Apparate!" I took the Knight Bus for half of the journey, and then Apparated directly to Devon. When I went back, I just Apparated.

The place in Devon that Maple came to was exactly where Dumbledore handed him a note and entered Nicolás Flamel's Hermitage last time.

Dumbledore had already given Maple a note once, so this time Maple directly imagined the address text on Nicoléme's note in his mind, and then the door to Nicoléme's residence appeared in front of Maple.

"Stop it, Mary, let me give this to Mr. Nicoléme first!" Maple said, holding the diary.

"Okay, this is a gift for you!" Seeing Mary pouting and looking unhappy, Maple quickly gave Mary the candy she bought from Honeydukes before she came.

Mary immediately jumped up happily. Although these candies are not nutritious to Mary, her sense of taste has recovered a little, and it is not bad to just taste these foods.

Seeing Mary, Maple suddenly became thoughtful. After giving the diary to Nicolas Flamel, Maple borrowed something from Mary.

After a hard time, Maple had to play with Mary for a day and returned to school in the evening.

"I found it!" Hermione's speed was really amazing. I don't know how many books she had read in the past few days, and she didn't even care about dating Maple.

"Guess who was the student who was killed 50 years ago? You must have never imagined it!" Hermione asked Maple and Harry with a mysterious smile on her face.

"Stop pretending, Hermione, tell us who it is?" Maple said. Although he knew the truth, he couldn't disturb his girlfriend's enjoyment.

"Moaning Myrtle!" Hermione answered with a proud expression.

"It's her!" Harry didn't expect it at all, but Maple knew it but responded with a surprised expression in time.

"Let's go find her quickly. She might know where the entrance to the secret room is!" Maple said.

"I think I know where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is," Hermione said.

"Where?" Harry asked immediately.

"Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, she stayed in the bathroom all the time. It was probably her bathroom where she was killed!" Hermione said.

"Great, let's tell the professors this news quickly and ask them to enter the secret room and get rid of the basilisk! As long as the basilisk is killed, one of the arms of the mastermind can be cut off! It will be difficult for her to cause trouble again!" Mei Poole said.

But they encountered obstacles halfway -

"Eileen!"

When they were still some distance away from the professors' offices, Maple's owl suddenly flew over and brought a letter to Maple.

After Hermione's experience, Maple was even more careful about such unsigned letters. She did not open them directly, and used her wand to control the envelope to keep a distance from them, and then used magic to pull out the letter and open it.

There was nothing wrong with the letter, but after reading the content of the letter, the three of them were immediately shocked——

Your good friend Ron Weasley's sister Ginny Weasley and her friend Reese Crand were taken to the secret room by me. If you don't want something to happen to them, don't tell the professor.I am waiting for your good news in the secret room!

Not long after they read the letter, the letter automatically burned and quickly turned into ashes.

"Ginny!" Hermione called out worriedly.

"Damn it, they actually took Ginny as a hostage!" Maple never expected that such a change would happen at this time. That Claire Pandora was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"What should I do?" Harry was confused.

"We have to go alone, otherwise Ginny and the others will be in danger," Maple said, "But we must make as many preparations as possible before entering the secret room."

The next day, they brought what they had prepared, and Harry took out his invisibility cloak.

At this time, Irene flew here again, bringing a new letter——

Don't play tricks, I only give you a quarter of an hour. If you don't all appear at the entrance of the secret room when the time is up, then wait to collect the bodies of Ginny Weasley and her friends!

It seems that it is impossible to wear an invisibility cloak and quietly inform the professors!

When the other party has a hostage and is in danger, they can only do what the other party orders.

"She's awake!" On the way to Myrtle's bathroom, Maple and the others actually saw Celia Dorlux.

Celia's face and skin were paler than before. It seemed that the curse on her body was not cured, but deepened.

Maple and the others unexpectedly discovered that Celia was heading in the same direction as them.

"Why are you here too?" After arriving in the bathroom, Harry took off his invisibility cloak and Maple also lifted the disillusionment spell and said to Celia.

"She called me here!" Celia said simply.

"and you"

"You've also seen what I'm like now. It's time to put an end to it!" Celia said.

"No matter what the final result is, it's nice to meet you!" Celia said to Maple, and then gave Maple a kiss under unexpected circumstances.

Hermione's face suddenly darkened, but Celia didn't seem to notice Hermione's expression, and continued to say to Maple: "I originally thought I could hold on until I met the unicorn, but now it seems that I'm afraid... No chance!"
