HP When Harry is a Genius

Satisfied, Lucius was ready to end the conversation.

But Dumbledore took a step forward, and he asked Ginny kindly: "So, you know this diary will manipulate you, why did you steal it back? Is it because you are afraid that it will manipulate others?" classmate?"

Lucius glared at Dumbledore angrily, and said coldly, "Why, my good headmaster, do you still want to excuse the murderer?"

But under the effect of Veritaserum, Ginny had already begun to answer.

"On Valentine's Day, in the corridor, Harry's schoolbag was broken by a dwarf, and everything leaked out. I saw this diary, and it was picked up by Harry. I, I was afraid that Tom would hurt Harry. I can't let Tom manipulate Harry into doing things Harry doesn't want to do," Ginny sobbed.

Dumbledore showed a satisfied expression, and he said to Lucius: "Miss Weasley was only manipulated by this diary, and she had already gotten rid of this situation. But for the safety of her classmates, she would rather be manipulated by the diary That person is myself. Lucius, we can't ask too much of a little girl in first grade, she is already courageous enough."

The principal with the white beard looked at Ginny lovingly: "This is a painful torture for Miss Weasley, and the school will not punish her." He said to Lucius meaningfully: "Many older and more resourceful wizards than she have been blinded by the Dark Arts."

Harry sneered when he heard Dumbledore's phrase "You can't ask too much from a first-year little girl", and he silently complained in his heart: "Because I'm not a little girl, but a young man, so you ask me too much." is it a lot?"

Lucius was very dissatisfied, he stared at Dumbledore with cold eyes, and there was an angry blush on his pale cheeks.He just wanted to refute Dumbledore, but Ginny spoke again under the effect of Veritaserum.

She said tremblingly: "I've been telling Tom what's on my mind for months. I've told him how I've been teased by my brothers, how I've had to come to school in old robes and books, and that I like Harry. Thinking Harry would never like me, how could Harry be so famous, so kind, so great, like the humble me? Harry hated the card I sent with the message on Valentine's Day."

Ginny covered her face and cried bitterly: "I didn't mean to let those dwarves sing love songs to Harry in the corridor. I didn't expect that it would have that kind of consequences. I can't let him know my secret anymore, and I can't let him find out that I strangled Harry." Dead school rooster. I didn't mean to scribble those scary words on the wall, I didn't mean to send monsters to attack Mrs Norris and the students, it's all Tom's fault, I can't let Harry know about it."

Everyone in the room stared at Ginny dumbfounded.

"So, you stole the diary because you were afraid that Harry Potter would discover your little thoughts?" Lucius no longer used a gentle tone, but asked in a complacent, satisfied, and ironic tone .

Ginny nodded unconsciously.

Except for Lucius, everyone in the room was silent.

The Weasleys were all limp like frost-beaten eggplants.

"Ginny!" said Mr. Weasley sadly, breaking the awkward and heavy silence of the room, "didn't I teach you? What have I been telling you? Never trust anything that can think for itself , unless you see where it hides its mind. Why didn't you show me or your mother the diary? A suspicious thing like that, evidently full of black magic tricks!"

Draco added the knife coolly: "Ron Weasley said that Weasley is not like Malfoy, so they don't listen to their father like children. Because there are too many unique discoveries and innovations , waiting for them Weasley to realize - such as this diary!"

Mr. Weasley was speechless, and Ron shouted at Draco angrily: "Don't misinterpret my meaning!"

Snape unexpectedly turned out to be a good guy. He interrupted the quarrels and conversations in the room with a wave of his hand, took out the antidote and poured it down to the drowsy Ginny.

Professor Snape said in an uncharacteristically soft and loving manner: "Miss Weasley should go to the school hospital immediately. She is in too much pain and should stay in bed. Perhaps, she should also drink a large cup of steaming chocolate Milk."

Mrs. Weasley looked at Snape gratefully: "Thank you."

Snape said politely, "You're welcome, ma'am."

Harry guessed, however, that Snape did this because he was afraid that Ginny would reveal the original source of the diary if she continued - which obviously wouldn't be a source that would benefit Lucius or Snape.Otherwise, why did Lucius never ask Ginny where the book came from in the first place during such a long interrogation?

Mr. Weasley insisted: "This book was definitely not Ginny's in the first place. How could she have such a dangerous thing? Ginny was just being used by others. I think it is necessary to investigate the original source."

"Who doesn't know that you, Arthur Weasley, are the most likely to come into contact with this kind of thing? You lead people into every house and steal black magic items every day. Since you don't allow others to modify Muggle items, while you yourself Owning a flying Muggle car, I think it's entirely possible that you copied it somewhere and gave it to your daughter," Lucius said sarcastically.

Mr. Weasley wanted to retort, but Lucius didn't give him a chance to speak.He took out a wooden box from the drawer and said, "This is Tom Riddle's diary. Thank you, Mr. Percy Weasley, for sending me such a valuable thing."

"I haven't," said Percy, surprised, but he realized quickly, "Yes, sir, I just wish I could make amends."

"No, you took this book yourself!" George said angrily.

"You decorated the Gryffindor bedroom a while ago!" said Fred.

"It must have been stolen then!" said George.

"You've always known about Ginny and the diary," said Fred.

"It's clear, maybe you secretly slipped this notebook to Ginny in the first place." George said suspiciously.

"I remember that day, Lihen Bookstore!" Fred said angrily.

"You must have given it to Ginny after you had a fight with Dad!" The twins roared at the same time, pointing at Lucius with excited expressions.

Harry was amazed that their minds could keep in sync all the time, and admired their quick and meticulous reasoning ability.

"Excellent, gentlemen, excellent reasoning. But I have to say that you are suffering from a severe paranoia of persecution. Your brother Percy Weasley has stated that he gave me this book. Besides-- Lucius waved his cane lazily, and said tolerantly with an elder's loving gesture: "Young man, before slandering me, you should prepare forged evidence first."

The twins looked at him angrily and helplessly.

Lucius handed the wooden box containing the diary to Dumbledore: "Dear principal, I think you will be interested in this thing. As far as I know, this is a precious item belonging to the mysterious man."

Dumbledore took the diary and looked at Lucius carefully. The half-moon-shaped lens shone with wisdom: "Thank you for the gift, Lucius. I am indeed very interested."

"Now that the murderer has been found, I think it's time to give an explanation to the public. The reporter is next door, Dumbledore, and you can hold a press conference at any time." Lucius sat back on the chair, playing with his cane, slowly explain.

"No! Dumbledore, Ginny is innocent, he was just manipulated by evil forces." Mr. Weasley said excitedly.

"Please, Dumbledore, don't fire Ginny, she's only 11 years old, she doesn't know anything." Mrs. Weasley begged Dumbledore tearfully.

"Mr. Headmaster, I agree with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. After all, Ginny is just a little girl who doesn't understand anything." Professor McGonagall said.

The Weasley boys all looked at Dumbledore nervously.

"Of course, Ginny is just an innocent child," said Dumbledore, "Hogwarts will not blame a child."

"Then, how do you explain it to the public? Say she's young, so she's not guilty?" Snape, who had just softly said that Ginny should take a good rest, immediately said viciously.

"Severus! How can you say that, she was manipulated, she was innocent." Professor McGonagall said angrily.

"Oh? The school is in such an embarrassing situation because of a little girl's ridiculous little secret. Minerva, ignorance is not an excuse. Besides, I believe that every child born into a wizarding family, I have been taught to be wary of dark magic items since I was a child," Snape said sarcastically.

"Dear Headmaster Dumbledore, I don't want to interfere with your handling of the students, but I ask you to give an explanation to the public. Otherwise, if the reputation of the school is damaged, I will question your ability to serve on behalf of the board of directors." Lucius' eyes twinkled slyly.

"Harry, I think Lucius called you and Mr. Malfoy here to ask your opinions. As far as I know, you and Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Ron Weasley and Granger Miss has been studying this diary for a while. Has Tom Riddle told you anything?" Dumbledore turned to Harry, his gray-blue eyes seemed to be able to read people's hearts.

"Riddle told us that the Chamber of Secrets contained acromantulas. Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago to release the spiders. After the spiders killed a man, Hagrid was fired. But we're not sure if those words are true." Hagrid Lee answered cautiously.

"Professor, Ginny is innocent! It's all Riddle's fault, and Hagrid is innocent too! Riddle is a liar, it's not an acromantula in the secret room, it's a basilisk! Riddle manipulated the basilisk to attack the students." Luo En called suddenly to Dumbledore.

"Oh, how did you know about the Basilisk?" Dumbledore asked kindly.

"It's Harry, the little snakes told Harry. Harry has a Parseltongue." Ron looked at Harry awkwardly.

The silence of the room.

The author has something to say: the twins have high IQs.
