Journey through the heavens from Hogwarts

"Did he also tell you that his name is Tom, Tom Riddle."

"Yes, Principal, he told me that only Parseltongue can open the door to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets." Lin Xiao said pretending to be surprised, but in fact he had never touched the diary at all.

"It's amazing," he said softly, "Needless to say, he is probably the most outstanding student in the history of Hogwarts." He turned around and looked at Hermione and Professor McGonagall, both of whom were Looking very confused.

"Few people know that Voldemort's former name was Tom Riddle. I personally taught him 50 years ago at Hogwarts. He disappeared after leaving school...traveled around, traveling to all corners of the world...in the dark arts He fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire, mixed with the most evil guys in the wizarding world, went through many dangerous magical transformations, and finally reappeared as Voldemort. It was difficult for people to recognize him. Almost no one thought that Voldemort was the same as the one who once lived in the wizarding world. Get in touch with the smart, handsome boy student council president who studied here."

Dumbledore came to his senses and said softly, "You have done well, children, and you have also added a hundred points to your respective houses."

"Principal Dumbledore, I learned something else in the restricted area."

"Son, tell me, you have brought me too many surprises." Dumbledore said with a smile. He didn't mind Lin Xiao going to the restricted book area, because he usually took some time to observe his Students, Lin Xiao obviously did not appear in Tom's situation. Of course, there is another reason why Lin Xiao can release the Patronus Charm.

Later, after discovering that Lin Xiao had obtained Professor Flitwick's application to go to the restricted book area, he paid little attention to him.

Lin Xiao told what he saw in the forbidden book area. He first said, "Principal Dumbledore, can you lend me the sorting hat?"

After hearing this request, the portraits of the principals on the wall also recovered from the news they had just learned and began to whisper.

"Of course, kid." Dumbledore, who seemed to have thought of something, looked at Lin Xiao expectantly. Hermione and Professor McGonagall also looked at Lin Xiao after hearing the news.

Lin Xiao walked next to the Sorting Hat, and the Sorting Hat, who was eating melon, also said in surprise, "Oh... I remember you, I told you then..."

"Shut up first, or I'll put you in the toilet all night. I think you won't mind." Lin Xiao said softly.

The Sorting Hat was scared when it heard the threat, because Lin Xiao was standing in front of it, and stretched out his hand to successfully take out a big sword from under it - the Sword of Gryffindor.

Lin Xiao knew that Dumbledore should no longer be suspicious. To put it simply, he was sure of it!

As for the prerequisite for getting the sword, it is no problem for him. He only needs to strengthen his mind and fearless courage in his heart, and at the same time think in his heart that I need to use it.

"You actually succeeded in taking it out." The branch director said in surprise.

It knew what Lin Xiao was going to do, but besides the sword hidden in the hat, it really couldn't think of anything else.

Professor McGonagall said in surprise, "This must be the Sword of Gryffindor."

Then he remembered the legend of this sword and looked at Lin Xiao with a somewhat unkind expression.

"It is said that only those who truly possess the unique qualities of Gryffindor can obtain it - the Sword of Gryffindor - when in need." Lin Xiao felt a little embarrassed when he saw Professor McGonagall looking at him with an unkind expression. He said, you can't blame him anyway, it's all the Sorting Hat's fault, and it will definitely not admit that it was wrong.

"Go on, kid."

"The book mentions its extraordinary ability, which is that the goblin-forged blade can absorb things that can strengthen it."

Dumbledore said in surprise, he also thought at this time, "Child, you mean to use this sword to kill the basilisk in the secret room, and the venom of the basilisk is a substance that can destroy Horcruxes, Grant The Sword of Fendo absorbs the venom and has the corresponding function of destroying Horcruxes."

"Yes, Principal Dumbledore, there happens to be a basilisk hidden in the secret room of the school."

Dumbledore said kindly, "Child, do you have any ideas?"

"Albus, you must not let these children take risks. If there is any danger..." After hearing this, Professor McGonagall said angrily to Dumbledore. This happened last semester.

Dumbledore interrupted Professor McGonagall and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile, "Minerva, let's listen to this child's opinion first."

"We can break this news quietly..."

"We can't do this, Mr. Lin Xiao. This will discredit the school and cause unrest among the students. They may even be ordered to close the school. I firmly disagree with this idea." Professor McGonagall said sternly.

"Professor McGonagall, listen to me," Lin Xiao continued, "just change this news into another story, and then make some omens, and accidentally tell Lockhart, I believe he will do it for the sake of reputation It will definitely be exciting.”

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall on the side felt a little hard to make a decision. After all, the danger of the basilisk was far inferior to that of Voldemort, and as long as the basilisk was killed with a sword, it could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Anyway, it was the tool man Lockhart who finally broke the news. Thinking about what he had done in school, Professor McGonagall didn't feel any burden at all, as long as he tried his best to ensure that no one was killed.

She was not surprised by what Lin Xiao said. She knew that he was a very smart and talented little wizard. Professor McGonagall knew very well that Lin Xiao's life experience would allow him to experience more that ordinary little wizards would not experience. past events.

Obviously Dumbledore also knew it very well, because Tom was the best example, but he felt that Lin Xiao was much better than Tom.One of the reasons was that after Lin Xiao got the Horcrux, he immediately came to find him as the principal.

As for Lockhart, Professor McGonagall certainly knew that he was a big liar. When she learned that Dumbledore had hired him as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, she went to Dumbledore specifically and told him about other teachers in the school. They all hate Lockhart...

But at that time Dumbledore said helplessly, "Minerva, do you think I haven't thought about finding someone else? I have sent letters to all the people I like, but only Lockhart has replied to me. Said he agreed." After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Professor McGonagall was embarrassed to say anything else. She knew that this course was cursed, and various accidents would happen to every teacher after one year of teaching. Only Lockhart, the iron-headed kid, didn’t know.

"Albus, we can call the professors together..." Professor McGonagall persuaded him without giving up.

After listening to Professor McGonagall's words, Dumbledore thought for a while and said with a sigh, "Minerva, you have to know that we will die eventually. We can't keep the children under our wings forever. They We should also learn how to survive future dangers.”

"...Well, Albus, you're right, I..."

"Don't worry, Minerva, I will order Fawkes to help them when they are in danger, and I will always pay attention to them." Dumbledore walked up to Fox and touched it, and Fawkes responded.

Lin Xiao and Dumbledore then discussed the specific arrangements, with Professor McGonagall and Hermione listening, and finally decided to focus on Lin Xiao's plan and start implementing it when Halloween comes this year.

Of course, Professor McGonagall also kept telling the two of them to pay attention to their own safety and not act recklessly like Harry and the others.

At the end, Dumbledore also reminded Lin Xiao and Hermione not to act without authorization if they discovered something similar to a Horcrux again. He said this, "Horcruxes can confuse people's hearts and amplify the greatest desires in your hearts. Fortunately, last night You two have resisted its temptation, otherwise things would have been a bit big. You two were the top two in the school last year. Of course, I hope you will continue to do so this year."

As for the diary, he has to wait for Lin Xiao to get the basilisk fangs before destroying it. Of course Dumbledore will do it, but obviously Principal Dumbledore does not intend to use this black magic, because as the use of black magic becomes more and more If too much, the user's mind will also be affected.

On the way back to the dormitory, Hermione asked Lin Xiao, "Do you want to tell Harry and the others about this?"

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work. Didn't Principal Dumbledore say that? You can't tell anyone."
