The Emerald at Hogwarts

It was quiet by the black lake. The six people were all thinking about different things. Only Garen, who couldn't understand human language, was still chasing the butterflies on the shore.

Suddenly knowing that Tom Riddle was Voldemort, Harry was a little confused.The memory fragments he had seen and the misunderstandings he had about Hagrid seemed so ridiculous today.

Harry felt like a fool being fooled by Voldemort's diary.Harry is in a state of self-doubt. The child now feels as if his brain has been eaten by a troll, so he has never been able to answer Ada's questions.

Ron and Hermione stood up, and they told each other the whole story of the diary, Harry's memory of Voldemort he had seen, and the story that Voldemort had framed Hagrid.

How should I put it, it was a public execution. Harry felt that he was a little shameless in front of others. His previous actions were indeed out of his mind.

After hearing these words, Fred and George looked at each other and sighed together.Ada covered her face. She was really speechless. She had picked up such a crucial diary. Under such special circumstances, Harry actually hid it from everyone.

If the diary hadn't been stolen yesterday, I'm afraid Harry would have kept hiding it.

If Harry had told Dumbledore about the diary, the headmaster might have found the Chamber of Secrets and figured out a solution.Even if Harry didn't tell Dumbledore, he could just tell Ada, and Ada would be able to lock in the target early and avoid nightmares.

"Harry, you can't hide this matter any longer." Ada said, "You come with me to see Dumbledore. Although I don't know how Voldemort sealed his memories in the diary, this diary It’s definitely the key to opening the secret room.”

Ada didn't blame Harry, even though it made things more complicated because of Harry.Ada is just the sister of Harry's friend. She is neither a professor at the school nor anyone to Harry. Ada is not a victim of the Chamber of Secrets. She feels that she is not qualified to blame Harry.

Harry was still silent, but Hermione asked: "Is the monster in the Chamber of Secrets a basilisk? Are the mirrors in the corridor to prevent students from looking directly at the basilisk?"

"Yes, and Dumbledore has found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." Ada did not take any credit, she continued, "So, the top priority now is to see Dumbledore and hear his opinion on this diary."

If it was only because of that memory and the thief who stole the diary that the three Harrys knew the importance of the diary, after hearing Ada's words, they realized how much this old diary of Voldemort really had. important.

A feeling of regret came over him. Harry regretted not telling Dumbledore and McGonagall about the diary, but instead hiding the diary and secretly investigating it.If, as he thought, the attack happened again, Harry would probably feel regretful in his intestines.

Subsequent attacks could have been avoided, but because of his own actions, Voldemort's diary was lost again.Maybe the heir of Slytherin could stir up trouble again, and Hogwarts would be in danger again.

The group of people hurriedly left the Black Lake and headed towards the castle, even more anxious than when Harry and the others came.

They did not go to Professor McGonagall first, but went directly to the eighth floor of the castle. Ada knew the password to the principal's office.This was what Dumbledore told her when they parted the day before when they went to the girls' bathroom.

On the eighth floor of the castle, six students stopped in front of an extremely ugly stone monster.Ada spoke the command to the giant stone monster: "Bibi's all-flavored beans!"

Previously, the password in the principal's office was for sweets, but suddenly it was changed to "Bibi's multi-flavored beans." Ada thought that Dumbledore had changed his taste or had taken the wrong medicine.But on second thought, it seems that's not the case.

The ugly stone monster came to life and jumped aside. The wall behind it cracked in half.Along a spiral staircase, a group of people climbed up. A shiny oak door was waiting for them at the top of the stairs.

Ada gently pulled the gryphon-shaped brass door knocker. No voice came from the office, but the oak door slowly opened automatically.

A group of six people walked into the spacious, beautiful circular room. Strange silverware was spinning and spitting out small puffs of smoke.Dumbledore was sitting behind a huge desk, reading a thick, old book.

Dumbledore raised his head, looked at Ada and said, "I didn't expect you to come here, or with so many people. Is there something you can't figure out?"

Ada didn't speak, but pushed Harry out and asked him to read Tom Riddle's diary again.

As Harry told it, Dumbledore also fell into deep thought. It seemed that this diary reminded the learned headmaster more.Dumbledore frowned when Harry mentioned that the diary had been stolen last night.

Time was running out, and Dumbledore knew that he needed to take action as soon as possible. The "Heir of Slytherin" hiding in the dark might take action again, and he could not let his students be harmed again.

Dumbledore took out a piece of paper and didn't know what he wrote on it.Then he handed the note to Fox, and in a flash of fire, Phoenix and the note disappeared.

Seeing that Dumbledore didn't speak, but instead conveyed some news calmly, Harry became anxious. He said, "Professor, what should we do? Has the diary been taken away by the heir of Slytherin?" of?"

The students in the office all know what will happen if this diary with Voldemort's memories falls into the hands of the Slytherin heir.But everyone had no choice but to put their hope in Dumbledore.

"Ada, what do you think of this?" Dumbledore asked.He now needs to reorganize his thoughts. What is on his mind is another thing. Let the young man explain the diary.

"I don't know. This memory should not be separated from the diary for the time being. He should have relied on someone's power to open the secret room." Ada shook her head and expressed her guess, "It's like he made Harry mistakenly Thinking that Hagrid was the murderer, he tricked another person into opening the secret room for him and released the basilisk inside to attack the students."

Judging from all the clues obtained, Voldemort is the descendant of the last Slytherin. The current Slytherin heir in the school is just a false proposition, an innocent passerby who was bewitched by Voldemort.

Therefore, Ada has never been able to find who the heir of Slytherin is, because this person does not exist at all, and he may not even have anything to do with Slytherin.

"Yes, he is one of the most outstanding students I have ever seen, and he is also the best at playing with people's hearts." Dumbledore said slowly, "It seems that we need to take action as soon as possible, and we cannot let him continue. .”

The office fell into silence. Although everyone had different views on the diary, the same thing was that this diary weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

About half an hour later, Phoenix Fawkes had not returned yet. Instead, Professor McGonagall walked into the room.Behind her was a distraught Percy.

Professor McGonagall said: "The students have all returned to the lounges of their respective colleges. However, one student is missing."

"Who?" Dumbledore asked, already knowing the answer.

When Ada and the twins saw the tears on Percy's face, they already had a bad feeling.Ada squeezed Fred and George's hands, hoping to give the brothers some warmth.

"Ginny Weasley. The last time I saw her was before going to bed last night, and no one has seen her since," Professor McGonagall continued.

After receiving Dumbledore's note, Professor McGonagall asked the students to return to their respective houses and were not allowed to go out.But when they were counting the people, they discovered that Ginny from Gryffindor was missing.No Gryffindor student had seen Ginny today, and even the ghost sent out to look for her found no trace of her.

At this time, it is self-evident what the disappearance of a student means, and the secret room is opened again.

When they heard the news about Ginny's disappearance, Fred and George turned pale. The two brothers who were usually eloquent were unable to say a word at the moment.

Ron was also stunned. He looked at Professor McGonagall blankly, as if he couldn't believe what Professor McGonagall said.His sister Ginny is a pure blood, how could she be attacked?
