The next morning at breakfast, Jon was spreading a thick layer of jam on his sausages.

On the podium, the current Acting Rector, Professor Minerva McGonagall, suddenly stood up.

"I have a couple of news to announce. She shouted and then added, "Good news, of course!"

The students who were eating breakfast looked at each other, and under the panic caused by the monsters in the secret room, no one could think of any good news.

"Our Headmaster, Professor Albus Dumbledore is back!" Professor McGonagall said with a smile, "He's destroyed the Slytherin monsters!"

After a brief reaction, the crowd quickly erupted in eager cheers.

"Long live Professor Dumbledore!" the Weasley brothers sang loudly.

"I knew that the Slytherin monster was no match for Professor Dumbledore!" said Ernie McMillan, with a confident expression.

"Hannah and Susan, they should be back soon......" Eloise Midgan whispered.

"Quidditch. Oliver Wood exclaimed excitedly, "Is Quidditch going back?"

"That's right, Wood!" Professor McGonagall nodded, "So I think the Quidditch teams in the various houses need to hurry up and train, and in a week there will be Gryffindor and Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw and Slytherin Quidditch matches!"

"By the way, Harry, where is he?" asked Dean Thomas, a second-year Gryffindor, "I haven't seen him go back to the dorm since last night......"

"Mr. Potter played a vital role in the destruction of the Slytherin monsters!" Professor McGonagall said with some pride, "he showed the courage of Gryffindor, but he was slightly injured in the battle and is now being treated by Madam Pomfrey." ”

All the Gryffindor students began cheering again.

Except for Wood, who frowned and looked sad...... Probably wondering if Harry would be able to recover in time for the Quidditch match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.

......

Jon Hart was silently listening to Professor McGonagall.

The destruction of the basilisk and the return of Dumbledore did not surprise him.

When Ginny Weasley is fished by him, she will inevitably mistake the notebook for the Hufflepuff common room, and sneak in to try to steal it and prevent her secrets from being revealed.

The Hufflepuff common room looks defenseless on the surface, but in fact it is always guarded by house-elves, whose magic is quite powerful and certainly not for a first-year girl, and Jon also goes to the kitchen to get snacks, "inadvertently" tells that Klein School is in trouble, and "reminds" him to be careful of the strange people in the castle.

After Ginny Weasley was captured alive, the teachers were able to easily follow the line to find the truth about the Chamber of Secrets with the clues they had left behind.

Also, while the basilisk is quite scary for students, it's not too much of a tricky opponent for well-prepared adult wizards...... What's more, most of these teachers at Hogwarts are not ordinary adult wizards.

But through Professor McGonagall's words, he got an important message...... Professor McGonagall has been referring to the destruction of the "Slytherin monsters", not the "Slytherin heirs".

In other words, "Tom Riddle's Diary" should not have been destroyed.

So the question is, who should have the diary in?

First of all, there is a wrong option, which is certainly not in Ginny Weasley's hands.

Is it the same as the original plot, in the hands of Harry Potter?

So who was responsible for the attack on Percy and Penelope?

In Harry Potter's hands, it doesn't seem very likely!

He didn't think that Voldemort could control the savior to open the secret room and launch an attack in broad daylight.

But now that the basilisk has been destroyed, Dumbledore has returned...... Whoever owns the diary, Tom Riddle probably won't be able to run amok easily, and Dumbledore, who is proficient in "regents", must have known about the existence of the diary, and it should only be a matter of time before he finds it.

Professor McGonagall is still talking about the changes to the school rules:

For example, curfews and community bans have been abolished.

Please write to the students who have left school as soon as possible, so that they can return to school and continue their studies as soon as possible.

The requirement for students to be accompanied by a teacher in class and at dinner has also been removed.

......

Two wizards, in front of the gates of Hogwarts.

One of them was a tall and burly giant, and an emaciated old man.

"Dumbledore...... The professor ...... "Rubeus-Hagrid wiped his tears and cried like an 800-pound child: "So, the Slytherin monster is ......"

"It's a basilisk, and its gaze is enough to inflict fatal damage. Dumbledore smiled faintly and explained, "It's a natural predator of spiders, and spiders have eyes in all directions, and they can't close their eyes...... So that friend of yours doesn't even dare to say its name. ”

"Original...... Heir...... It's Tom...... I always thought he was my best friend from my school days......" Hagrid continued to cry, "Harry...... Harry, how's he?"

"It's just a minor injury...... Dumbledore continued laughing, "You know, my old bones are getting more and more useless, and I can't even hold my wand in battle......

"Thankfully, Harry was here, and he pulled a sword out of the Sorting Hat at the most dangerous moment and dealt the monster a fatal blow!"

The headmaster's words stopped, and a blue light flashed quickly on the lenses of his half-moon-shaped glasses, and he glanced at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of him: "Good morning, Lucius!"

"Yes!" Lucius-Malfoy's cold eyes fixed on Dumbledore, "You're back, Dumbledore...... The Board of Directors suspended you, but you returned to Hogwarts on your own initiative. ”

"Oh, that's right, Lucius," Dumbledore said with a calm smile, "and yesterday afternoon, the other eleven directors got in touch with me...... The owls flew one after another, and it was really troublesome...... They told me a strange thing: some of them seemed to think that you had threatened to make you outright enemies of the Malfoys if they did not agree to suspend me. ”

"And what about the attack?" said Lucius Malfoy viciously, "have you solved it?"

"Of course!" Dumbledore waved his hand, "It's the same guy from last time, Lucius...... Voldemort, with the help of his journal, summoned a basilisk, and we have destroyed it. ”

"Humph!" Lucius-Malfoy frowned, let out a cold snort, and walked away.
