A few hours later –

It was late at night, and suddenly I heard a "squeak", and the door to the principal's office was pushed open.

Headmaster Jon Hart, dragging his tired body, is back here, and behind him, the sixth grader of Gryffindor, Harry Potter.

"Alright, Harry. Jon turned around and said gently, "Thank you for your help tonight, now you can go back to the Gryffindor common room, and if you meet Mr. Filch on the way, tell him to go back from me......"

"By the way, please try not to tell anyone about what happened tonight, not even Miss Granger or Mr. Weasley!"

Harry Potter nodded a little smugly.

It was clear that he didn't seem to have fully recovered from his previous shock.

"So...... Goodbye, Jon!" he whispered.

"Have a good night, good night!"

......

With the departure of Harry Potter, the headmistresses and principals on the portrait wall who were still "pretending to be reserved" before instantly became active-

The entire principal's office began to be like a vegetable market again, chattering and arguing.

"How's it going?"

"What the hell is like in the secret room, I want to see it too!"

"Has the curse of Defence Against the Dark Arts been lifted?"

They discussed aloud and asked Jon Hart questions.

"Don't worry...... Jon shook his head, "any of you, go and help me get Professor Galatea-Meleth over first...... It may be offensive to be on such a big night, but after all, the situation is urgent!"

"I'll go!" one of the principals volunteered.

"Okay, thank you, Chris!"

Jon said as he placed a piece of parchment on the table, which he had carved in the Chamber of Secrets, behind the Slytherin statue, and he had written it all on the parchment.

"It seems to be...... Runiwen?" asked a headmaster softly.

"It should be. Jon nodded, explaining, "This is the magic left behind by Salazar Slytherin, and Tom was able to cast a curse on the position of the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, probably because of the magic recorded on it...... I'll give it to Professor Meles later and see if she can find a solution to it. ”

"That's it, that's it?" said Headmaster Phineas Black, with some impatience, "There must be more secrets in the Chamber than that...... Hurry up and tell us...... When Professor Dumbledore came back from the Chamber of Secrets four years ago, he was as mysterious as you are now......"

"There's really nothing!" Jon said with a shrug on his face.

Completely ignoring the "distrustful" eyes that have lost an entire wall......

......

Ten minutes later, Professor Galatia Meleth arrived at the rector's office.

Principal Hart...... Such a big night......" she said in a daze.

Professor Meleth appeared to have been woken up from his bed, dressed in a plaid pajamas, and looked sleepy-eyed.

"Sorry to bother you on such a big night, Professor Meleth. Jon said with a serious face, "But I think I've ......found the reason why Tom Riddle was able to hack into Hogwarts' authority and put a curse on you that you can't retire from Hogwarts, as you mentioned earlier."

"Oh?" the old lady suddenly became energetic in an instant, and she had no sleepiness at all.

After all, the curse of the mysterious man was imposed on her, and in a sense, it was closely related to her interests.

As he spoke, Jon handed her the parchment that had rune written on it.

The old lady took the parchment, sat down on the ground with a very inattentive ass, and began to read it carefully.

"It's old magic...... Such a subtle ......" she muttered involuntarily, "It's hard to imagine that it's ...... this way"

"Can you find a way to lift the curse?" Jon asked in a low voice.

"I think so. Professor Meles nodded earnestly, "But it will take a little time...... It takes about two weeks...... The fastest words. ”

"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!" Jon smiled, relieved.

"Don't worry, principal, this old woman of mine still has two brushes sometimes......"

......

Professor Meles left the Chancellor's office, and Jon Hart sat back on the Chancellor's bench.

The portraits on the walls had ceased to be many of the headmistresses, and they were all there with their eyes closed, and it was time for Jon to calm down.

In fact, Phineas was right before, he didn't tell the truth in the secret room.

Just like Albus Dumbledore didn't tell the truth about the Chamber of Secrets four years ago.

The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets is not a "monster", but a guardian left by Salazar Slytherin to Hogwarts...... The wizard of a thousand years ago had already poured his consciousness and beliefs, as well as his thoughts of Hogwarts, into his pet, so that the terrible monster had silently guarded the Hogwarts campus for thousands of years.

It's a pity that fifty years ago, Tom Riddle opened the secret room...... Unlike his ancestors, Tom Riddle was a man who didn't know what love was, and his understanding of the basilisk was a tool used to slaughter Muggle wizards.

The natural Parseltongue has a very powerful command effect on snake creatures...... Although the basilisk still remembered the mission given to it by Salazar Slytherin, it had to obey the orders of the Parseltongue and attacked the students of Hogwarts again and again......

Despite its best efforts not to cause the killing, it inevitably killed a Hogwarts student.

Four years ago, Ginny Weasley used Tom Riddle's Horcrux to open the Chamber of Secrets once again.

This time, though, Albus Dumbledore also entered the Chamber of Secrets together. Although Dumbledore was not born with a parseltongue and was unable to manipulate basilisks, as a well-versed scholar, he was able to communicate with snakes using a simple parseltongue.

So Albus Dumbledore, through his communication with the basilisk, also knew the truth of this history.

So instead of killing the basilisk, he took it to the deepest part of the chamber, the mouth of the Slytherin statue, so that the basilisk, which had already been badly damaged, could slowly heal. Allows them to return to their duties as a Guardian.

At the same time, in order not to cause panic, he did not make a big deal about it...... Instead, Harry Potter's memories were modified, claiming that Harry had killed the monster......

It wasn't until a few hours ago that Jon and Harry entered the Chamber of Secrets again—
