Late at night, Evan was the only one left in the common room.

He looked at the Tom Riddle diary placed in front of him in a daze, what happened today made him realize that he couldn't continue to be so deadlocked, although there were no more attacks, but if the secret room incident was not resolved, everyone would continue to be suspicious.

Perhaps, I should give this thing to Dumbledore!

The other party will definitely be able to recognize this as a Horcrux and know what to do with it, and then the secret room incident will be over.

Before Evan could make up his mind, Harry was seen coming out of the bedroom.

"Aven, why haven't you gone to sleep yet?" said Harry, surprised.

"I should have asked you, right, what are you doing out at such a late hour?"

"I can't sleep, my head is turning over and over about Hagrid, he must be innocent, I'm going to go to him to make sure. Harry looked at Evan expectantly, "You think so, right?"

"That's right!" Evan nodded.

"Let's go, then!" Harry whispered.

"We?!"

"yes. Harry grabbed Aven, "I was going to go alone, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you, let's go together." ”

Evan wanted to cry without tears, knowing that he should go back to bed.

He didn't want to sneak out of the castle in the middle of the night and go to Hagrid's cottage to confirm something he already knew, but Harry didn't give him a chance to refuse, and pulled him out of the Gryffindor common room.

Before they could crawl out of the portrait hole, they saw Hermione standing behind them, looking at them with a serious face.

"Hermione!" Harry said in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that, Harry, do you think I'm going to leave you alone?!" Hermione said, "I said we had to talk to Hagrid, and while I'm sure he didn't do it, he knew something. ”

"Well, since everyone is going, let's go. Harry put the cloak over them.

The castle was eerie late at night, and the corridors were empty.

It was evident that Harry had wandered around the castle many times in the middle of the night, and he had taken Evan and Hermione out of the castle gates to avoid Filch.

The three of them hurried towards the lighted window of Hagrid's quarters, until they reached his door, before they took off their invisibility cloaks. Seconds after they knocked, Hagrid slammed the door open, and the Great Hound Tooth barked loudly behind him.

"Oh, it's you!" Hagrid glared at them, "what are you three doing here at such a late hour?"

"Hagrid, we have something to ask you. Harry walked into the hut first, hesitantly saying, "Can you tell us about you?"

"What about me?" Hagrid poured a large glass of boiling water for each of them with a large kettle, "there is something that cannot be said tomorrow, you should hurry back to sleep now, and no one will find out that you have slipped out of the castle so late." ”

"But, Hagrid"

"We would like to ask you about an incident that happened in the school when you were at Hogwarts, related to the Chamber of Secrets. Evan said it directly.

"Chamber of Secrets?!" Hagrid's thick hand shook violently, knocking over the teapot.

"Hagrid, you know, there's someone in the castle who has been attacked by monsters in the vault, and there have been three attacks in a row. Harry said quickly, "We investigated and found that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago"

"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Hagrid's face turned pale, and his head began to sweat.

"Fifty years ago, shortly after the Chamber of Secrets was opened, you were expelled from school for a serious accident. Hermione pulled the newspaper out, "Hagrid, it's not that we don't believe you, but surely you know something?"

"I don't know anything!" Hagrid shouted at them, seemingly unsettled, as the water in the kettle spilled and nearly extinguished the fire.

It was so suspicious that Harry and Hermione quietly looked at each other.

"We need your help, Hagrid!" Harry said in a pleading tone, "The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, the monster inside killed a student, and if we don't take action, that monster might be the same this time."

"No, Aragog was wronged, it didn't attack anyone. Hagrid choked.

"Aragog, who is it?" asked Harry hurriedly.

"It was an eight-eyed spider, a gift from a traveler from afar for my twelfth birthday, and I fed it in the cupboard, and the last time the chamber was opened, Aragog was so frightened that it kept begging me to let it go, and it said it was an ancient creature that their spiders feared the most. Hagrid wiped his tears with a large handkerchief.

"That ancient creature, what is it?"

"I don't know, but Aragog never told me the name of the monster, even though I asked many times, until the horrible monster killed a Ravenclaw girl in a bathroom, and the man who couldn't even mention the name caught me, and he wronged Alagog for everything. ”

"Someone who can't even mention names?!" Harry stood up with a pale face, "Hagrid, you mean Voldemort?"

The name made Hagrid tremble visibly, as he seemed to have just come to his senses from his sad memories.

"Oh my God, what did I say to you!" Hagrid said in chagrin, "that's not something you should know, forget what I just said. Now, you should go back to sleep at once, and don't ask questions, and I'll tell you nothing. ”

They were chased out by Hagrid, and Harry and Hermione whispered as they walked.

"Hagrid just talked about Voldemort, and Voldemort must have opened the Chamber of Secrets, killed Myrtle, and then wronged Hagrid fifty years ago. Harry said angrily, "I knew it was going to be like this, but who opened it this time, it couldn't be Voldemort again, right?!"

Harry suddenly remembered what had happened last semester, when Voldemort had infiltrated the school to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but thankfully he had stopped him.

"I don't know, Harry!" Hermione shook her head, analyzing in a trembling voice, "Maybe like last semester, Voldemort slipped into the school behind someone's head, remember Ron's Imperius Curse some time ago, it must be someone hiding around us." ”

"Who could it be, and what about the monster hiding in the chamber?" Harry pondered, looking down.

"Hagrid said it was an ancient creature that spiders feared the most, and I think I'd seen a creature like it somewhere. Hermione thought for a moment, then turned to look at Evan and asked, "Evan you don't have any clues?"

"Clearly, the terrifying creature hiding inside the chamber is a basilisk, a sworn enemy of spiders. Evan told what he knew.

He had decided that he was going to hand over the journal to Dumbledore, and it was time to put an end to it.

As for the person who was controlled by Tom Riddle, no matter who he was, as long as he was not affected by the Horcruxes, he would slowly return to normal.
