190. Destruction

Dumbledore left quickly after getting the diary. Whether it was an illusion or not, Magos seemed to hear a hysterical roar.

He shrugged, whether it was an illusion or not, when Dumbledore got it, he couldn't think of any other option for the diary other than death.

In the principal's office, the deans of the four houses were talking about the basilisk, when Dumbledore strode in.

"Flitwick, Snape," Dumbledore shouted.

"Go to the Forbidden Forest immediately and either capture or kill the Basilisk, or drive it deep into the Forbidden Forest."

"Yes, Principal." Flitwick nodded and disappeared in a flash.

Snape looked at the diary in Dumbledore's hand with confusion. He felt a familiar feeling from it, but he just glanced at it and left with Flitwick.

"Pomona."

"Headmaster." Professor Sprout, the headmaster of Hufflepuff, responded.

"You go and plant magical plants around the school to ensure that large magical animals can be found when they come in."

"Okay." Sprout picked up the bag in his hand and walked out of the door.

"Minerva, carefully check the areas in the school where danger may be hidden. At the same time, go to each college and grade lounge to confirm whether the students are there. In addition, seal Salazar's secret room to ensure that no one else except us can Open."

Professor McGonagall nodded seriously and left quickly.

After everyone left, Dumbledore raised the diary in front of him, with endless anger and a trace of regret in his eyes.

"Horcrux." He looked at the old diary with anger in his eyes.

The diary opened automatically without wind.

"Professor Dumbledore." A line of words appeared.

"I'm glad to see you again after 50 years."

"How many Horcruxes have you made? This one was made by Myrtle."

"You are still as wise as ever, but it's a pity that you knew it a little late." Between the lines, I seemed to see a face full of respect but with a sarcastic look on the corner of the mouth.

Dumbledore cursed rarely, then picked up the Elder Wand.

"Fire is blazing!" A white flame that seemed to burn the air rose from the diary.

The diary screamed violently.

"How did you discover me?" it asked word for word.

"I didn't show any traces. You shouldn't be able to find me. Well, there's something wrong with the little wizard. He told you, right?"

Dumbledore was unmoved. He would never believe a word of his words now. Do you really think he would be fooled by this act of applying eye drops before death?

"Ah..." With a desperate scream, a plume of black smoke floated up, and the periphery of the diary, which had been able to resist the flames, began to burn. At this time, he canceled the spell with a wave of his hand.

Dumbledore put down his wand and was silent for a moment.

"The first one," he said.

……

Deep in the Forbidden Forest, the basilisk wore a golden crown on its head and swam rapidly into the depths.

"Did they discover the Chamber of Secrets?" An illusory shadow floated over the head of the Basilisk with a confused look on his face, because if he hadn't discovered the two students in the Secret Room, Dumbledore would never have asked anyone to hunt down the Basilisk. He was sure it wasn't He showed his weakness. He knew that even if Dumbledore discovered the basilisk, as long as he didn't know where the students were, he would never kill the basilisk. However, the short wizard who just discovered the basilisk was a killer move. , that means they have found two students.

"How did they find them?" Xuying looked back at the other wizard who was chasing him quickly in the distance.

"Snape? Interesting. But I'll be back, Dumbledore, Professor."

As they deepened, Flitwick and Snape slowly stopped.

"No more chasing." Snape looked at the basilisk that was about to disappear.

"Once the magical animals in the depths are alarmed, the Forbidden Forest will no longer be safe."

Flitwick nodded and took out a bag, "This is the magic plant Pomona gave me. Let's try to plant them around it so that within a year, it will be noticed whenever it comes out from here."

After the four deans were busy all night, at breakfast the next day, Dumbledore announced in the dining room that the two students had been found, and told them that they needed to rest for now, and that it was best not to let anyone else except their families. disturb them.

The news gave the somewhat flagging school a new lease of life.Students finally no longer have to worry about it, and they can also join some clubs organized by professors in the evening.

"Congratulations, Albus." Fudge said to Dumbledore.

"It's too early to congratulate you, Cornelius. I haven't received a reply from the board of directors yet." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Sooner or later." Fudge said, taking out the letter Dumbledore wrote last night.

"I want to confirm with you what you said. Are you sure it was the basilisk that attacked the students and the fifty dead Muggle wizards?"

"I'm sure." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Okay, I will ask my colleagues from the Ministry of Magic to come over later to collect evidence. I hope you can agree."

"this is necessary."

"Hagrid can come back tonight. We all believe what you say. But speaking of it, he really broke Azkaban's record from the beginning. He only stayed in it for one night and was released without charge."

"Prison is a place where prisoners are kept, and innocent people always leave there."

"You're right, there are others in the Ministry of Magic. I'll leave first."

"Please." Dumbledore accompanied Fudge out of the principal's office, and happened to see Lucius walking this way angrily.

"It seems that the board of directors has received a letter, so I won't disturb you anymore." Fudge smiled, said "care" to Lucius and left.

"Lucius, it's nice to see you again." Dumbledore looked at the angry visitor with a smile.

"You're lucky, Dumbledore."

"I've been very lucky, haven't I? Let me guess, are you here to deliver my employment letter?"

The corner of Lucius's mouth twitched violently.He threw a roll of parchment in front of Dumbledore.

"You guessed it right." He spat out word by word.

"By the way, I heard from members of the board of directors that you seemed to have said something about cursing their families? If they don't let me resign."

After hearing this, Lucius's fair face looked paler than usual, but his eyes seemed to burst out with anger.

"And I heard from my student that he seems to have seen this thing in your place." He said and took out the diary with the corners browned.

"What is this?" Lucius looked erratically in other directions.

"Oh? Don't you know, I thought this was your thing."

"Nonsense." Sensing his harsh tone, Lucius glanced at Dumbledore fiercely at last, turned around and left quickly.
