time at hogwarts

187. A plan that failed before it even started

Looking at Lucius Magos walking out of the principal's office, he could only say that he was very lucky.

"I hope you can leave here quickly. After all, you don't belong here anymore." Lucius walked to the door and turned back to taunt inside loudly.

Magos and the others quickly passed him and walked in while he was looking back.Ron also threw a small ball in front of him.

As the door behind him closed, a burst of yelling barely came in from the outside, and Ron looked at Harry and Magos proudly.

Harry smiled, his tension relieved.Then they pulled off their invisibility cloaks, stepped up the spiral staircase, grasped the gryphon-shaped brass knocker, and opened the gleaming oak door.

The furnishings in the office were no different from the last time Magos came here. Dumbledore sat across the table and watched them quietly.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Hagrid," Harry said hurriedly as soon as he walked in and saw Dumbledore.

"I know Hagrid is innocent." Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Harry. "He is a teacher at Hogwarts and also my friend. I will not let him suffer unjust injustice." After saying this, his expression suddenly changed.

"It's up to you, do you know how dangerous it is to run out of the lounge now? In this extraordinary period, I hope you can obey my words like other students and not run out secretly. I will pretend that I didn't see you today and do it again next time , school regulations."

It was the first time they saw such a serious Dumbledore, Harry and Ron shrank their heads subconsciously, and only breathed out after hearing the last word.

"But if you are transferred, there will be no next time." Magos stepped forward and sighed.

Dumbledore stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, even if I'm not here anymore, I can still punish you accordingly."

"Can't we stay?" Harry asked in a low voice.

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, "The decision made by the board of directors will be very difficult unless the two missing students can be found and the culprit found."

"Who is the missing Ravenclaw?" Ron asked.

"Luna Lovegood."

Harry and Ron were stunned when they heard the name, feeling somewhat familiar.

"We met on the train."

"I remembered, the girl who said Magos was an undercover agent." Ron exclaimed suddenly.

"Principal Dumbledore, I may know where they are now." Magos said slowly. After knowing that Luna was missing, he completely gave up hiding it.

"You know?" Harry and Ron looked at their best friend with wide eyes.

Dumbledore's brows twitched, and he looked deeply at Magos, who had a serious face.

"Where are they?"

"The Chamber of Secrets. Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

After hearing this answer, Dumbledore's eyes softened, "I didn't expect that you would eventually find out."

Magos was stunned when he heard Dumbledore's words. What does this mean?

"The reason why Hagrid is suspected by them is because this incident is almost the same as the murder that happened 50 years ago."

After listening to Dumbledore's narration, Harry never expected that Hagrid would be involved in such a big thing.

"Is the same person responsible for this disappearance?"

"Maybe." If Dumbledore hadn't discovered the basilisk, he really thought it might be the same person, but after knowing it was a basilisk, he was not sure. There are many ways to control magical animals, and the ones attacked this time were all pure animals. The blood wizard is inconsistent with the last rumor.

"Just how do you know this? Yes, if I remember correctly, a gag order was placed on the heir of Slytherin at that time. The students who knew about it have all graduated, and the professors will not reveal this news to you. "

"I know it from a magic diary." Magos looked a little nervous.

"Magic diary?" Dumbledore was a little confused.Could it be a prop left over from that class of students.

"Its owner is named Tom Riddle." Magos was too lazy to hide it. Although Dumbledore might not have paid attention to the diary, he would definitely gather all his attention after he said the name.

Sure enough, Dumbledore fell silent for a moment, and his face became much more serious than before.

"Who is Tom Riddle?" Harry looked at Dumbledore's expression and asked Magos curiously.

"I don't know either." McGoss shook his head, "That diary says its owner's name is this."

"You mean it told you? Can it communicate with you?" Dumbledore stood up and asked solemnly.

Magos nodded, and then told Dumbledore how he got the diary, how he discovered its abilities and then prepared to communicate with it, and finally made up the fantasy that the diary was shown to him as Hagrid.

"It is very dangerous." Dumbledore said, "You have done a good job in preparing in advance, but if you encounter this kind of prop in the future, it is best to show it to the professor or me first."

"I know, but who is he?" Magos asked, pretending not to know.

Dumbledore looked at Harry and said, "You will know later, but before that," he paused and slowly sat back on the chair, thinking about Basilisk, Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle and 50 Years. The girls' bathroom where Myrtle died is connected in series, and the old snake accent is added.he thought.In this way, the entrance to the secret room will be obvious.Feeling confident, he looked at Harry and the others in front of him, thinking that he might be able to give them a chance to practice, so he said calmly.

"It may know the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. I hope you will get information from it within a fortnight."

Harry and the others knew what "within two weeks" meant, but Magos didn't expect that Dumbledore didn't immediately ask him to hand over the diary to him. He didn't know that Dumbledore had noticed the location of the entrance at that moment. And with new attention, he said without thinking,

"I already know where the entrance is from it."

Well, Dumbledore's plan was aborted before it even started. Now he could no longer find a reason for them to find out on their own. He regretted not throwing a lock on Magos just now.

"Where?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.

"The abandoned girls' bathroom is where Myrtle was killed."

"Without further ado, let's go there now." Since the plan has been disrupted, the most important thing now is to save people.

He led the three of them out of the principal's office quickly, and happened to meet an angry Professor McGonagall at an intersection, followed by Hermione with some red and swollen eyes.

"Harry Potter, McGoswell, Ron Weasley." Because Dumbledore was walking at the front, she didn't see it, but she instantly noticed McGoswell and the others.
