Chapter 64: Dumbledore's Temptation

Lucius turned to leave, but Dobby, the house-elf standing behind him, behaved very strangely.

His bulb-sized eyes stared at Harry meaningfully, pointing at the diary on Dumbledore's desk, then at Malfoy, and then punching his own head.

A flash of inspiration flashed through Harry's mind, and he suddenly understood.

He nodded at Dobby, who retreated into a corner and grabbed his ear as punishment.

"Mr. Malfoy, don't you want to know how Ron got this diary?" said Harry.

"Hmph!" Lucius looked at Harry in disgust, "my time is precious, and I have no interest in paying attention to how a stupid twelve-year-old boy got a ridiculous diary. ”

"Yes," Harry prolonged, "Ron just said that he found this journal from Ginny's Transfiguration textbook, and I remember at the Blotted Bookstore, you happened to pick up Ginny's Transfiguration textbook, you must have taken the opportunity to sneak the diary inside, didn't you?"

Hearing his words, Mr. Weasley jumped to his feet and looked at Lucius Malfoy angrily, if it wasn't for Mrs. Weasley stopping him, he would have rushed forward.

Aven noticed that Lucius' pale hands were clenched into fists, and then released again.

"Is there any proof?" he said in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, there's no way anyone can provide proof!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "Riddle has disappeared from this notebook after all, but, Lucius, I'm going to give you a word of advice, don't give away the old stuff from Voldemort's student days." If any of these things fall into the hands of innocents, at least Arthur will be able to find out that they came from you!"

Lucius Malfoy stood for a moment, his right hand moving, as if trying to pull out his wand, but he restrained himself.

"I'll take your advice to me, Dumbledore. He turned to the house-elf and said, "We're gone, Dobby!"

He unscrewed the door, and the house-elf scurried over, and Lucius kicked him out of the door, where Dobby's screams of pain could be heard fading down the hallway.

Looking at Lucius's back, Evan secretly mourned for him in his heart, poor Malfoy, he probably didn't know that the diary he stuffed out of his hand would actually be Voldemort's Horcrux. When Voldemort returns two years later, there will be a hard time for him.

Harry stood staring at his journal, frowning and thinking for a moment.

"Professor Dumbledore!" he said hurriedly, "may I return this journal to Mr. Malfoy?"

"Of course, Harry!" Dumbledore said calmly, "but after that, you'll need to make a trip to the school hospital, and Madam Pomfrey will have a cure for you." ”

Harry grabbed the journal and rushed out of the office, Evan thought for a moment, and hurriedly whispered a few words in Hermione's ear, she nodded and ran over, and Ron, Hagrid, and the Slys followed with worried expressions.

In the blink of an eye, only Dumbledore and Evan were left in the office.

"Sit down, Aven!" Dumbledore gestured to the chair in front of him, "Looks like you have something to say to me." ”

Evan nodded and sat down stiffly, since he had already attracted Dumbledore's attention, he would definitely not be able to dodge, so it was better to take the initiative.

"Relax, do you need some cockroaches, I heard you like it very much. Dumbledore picked up a jar of candy from the table and reached for Evan.

"No, Professor!" Evan shook his head hurriedly, he had only advertised this candy once in the newspapers, and he knew how to get the word out that he liked it.

"Actually, I have something to say to you. First of all, I have to thank you for helping Harry in the Chamber of Secrets. Dumbledore's eyes sparkled, "Aside from Riddle, it's been a long time since I've seen a little wizard as good as you." Seeing you reminds me of an old friend. ”

Although the other party said it easily, Ai Wen was secretly vigilant in his heart.

He knew Dumbledore's black history, and his old friends were probably only the first Dark Lord, which was not a pleasant evaluation.

"You've won the prize, Professor!" said Evan modestly, "I just know a little bit more than anyone else in my grade, and in Hermione's words, I'm just dead reading." ”

"It's not as simple as reading a book, I've read your article. I subscribe to almost every issue of the Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry newspaper that you run. ”

"Professor, I'm sorry if you're talking about the article on the academic research section, it was Riddle who gave me and didn't know he was Voldemort at the time. ”

"yes, the research is really deep, and as I said, Riddle is probably the best student Hogwarts has ever had. Dumbledore looked at Aven, "You resemble him in some ways, but the two of you are different, you have your own friends. ”

Hearing the other party's words, Ai Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this was Dumbledore's recognition of himself, his relationship with Harry, his attitude towards power, and his Muggle background had finally put his guard down.

Otherwise, he could not guarantee that under Dumbledore's close watch, he would have any secrets at Hogwarts.

If it's a little bit dangerous, I'm afraid it will be nipped in the bud without hesitation.

After all, Dumbledore was already old, and he couldn't allow the third generation of the Dark Lord to appear.

But then again, Evan really didn't have any interest in power, immortality, power, bloodline, or anything like that.

So, Dumbledore was just worried.

Just as Evan was about to take his leave and go to Harry, Dumbledore suddenly asked, "Aven, do you know what that journal is?"

"Yes, it's a Horcrux!" said Evan directly.

In the next second, he jumped up directly!

Damn, he obviously planned to hide it, and it was not a wise thing to expose his strength too early, although he planned to fight Voldemort, but he didn't want to be treated by Dumbledore as a pawn that could be sacrificed at any time.

But for some reason, Dumbledore's voice seems to have a magical power that can make people unconsciously say everything in their hearts.

Hearing Aven's words, Dumbledore was stunned for a long time, this was really a surprising result, he did think that the boy in front of him might have guessed something, and originally planned to reveal some information, but he didn't expect that Aven already knew so much.

"Yes, it's a Horcrux, can you tell me you know that?" Dumbledore said kindly.

"It was Rowena Ravenclaw who told me, and she said it was a very evil spell that could split people's souls. ”

"What?!" Dumbledore was really stunned when he heard Evan mention Roy Narvencrowe.

Now that the words have been spoken, they can't be taken back, and in order to avoid unnecessary suspicion from the other party, Ai Wen hurriedly went back to the details of what happened thousands of years ago, including the arguments between the four founders and the secret treasures they left behind.

"Ravenclaw's time turner, this is amazing!" Dumbledore quickly regained his composure, "Wonderful experience, Aven, I hope you can pass the test of the four founders and find those hidden treasures." ”

Evan nodded, and it seemed that the other party believed him.

"Now that we're talking about the four founders of Hogwarts. Dumbledore said unhurriedly, "Then you must know that Voldemort is the last heir of Salazar Slytherin, and he should also be the last parseltongue, but Harry can speak snake language." If I'm not mistaken, he transferred some of his own spells to Harry the night he scarred Harry. ”

Evan flinched back, not knowing what Dumbledore meant, of course he knew what the other man said, and he even knew that Harry was a Horcrux too.

"I mean, no matter what the circumstances, no matter what the accident, you're going to be on Harry's side, right?"

"That's right!" replied hurriedly, "he's my friend, and I'll help him, whether it's against Voldemort or anyone else." ”
