Chapter 108: Confession and Leniency

The Harry trio and Vio looked at each other, and none of them planned to speak first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

They vaguely knew that even if their narrative had minimized the existence of Danae and the death of the basilisk, all this might have been hidden from Professor McGonagall, but it would definitely not escape Professor Dumbledore.

On top of that, they had no idea what Dumbledore's attitude was to these things: the soul-splitting Danae, and the basilisk, who could eat people and had petrified students and ghosts.

Will he send them all to the Ministry of Magic for study, or will they all be sent to the Wizengamot for punishment?

Draco was beside him, still silent, as if he were standing somewhere else watching.

Dumbledore waited for a moment and said, "It seems that I have to tell you first, our time is a bit tight, Madam Pomfrey only gave fifteen minutes, if I want to come to the hospital in the future, I must abide by the letter this time." So let's start with the most important points

"According to your description, Riddle came out of the diary, didn't he?" Dumbledore asked patiently.

Harry couldn't help but nodded.

"And, in the later stage, he can even transform into a form similar to an entity by sucking Bailey's soul in the secret room, right?"

Hermione and Ron both nodded, and from their confused looks, it was clear that Dumbledore's description of Riddle was exactly the same as what they had seen later when they went to the Chamber of Secrets to rescue Bailey.

"That's right, that's right. Dumbledore gave Draco a thoughtful look after receiving their confirmation, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, it's amazing, needless to say, he's probably the best student Hogwarts has ever seen." ”

"Few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle," Dumbledore said, winking mischievously at them, "not you, of course. ”

Hermione chuckled crisply. Draco glanced at her, the disdain and helplessness on his face growing worse.

"But you certainly haven't heard of it. Dumbledore continued, "Fifty years ago, at Hogwarts, I taught him myself. He left school and disappeared from school, probably traveling the world, traveling to the ends of the earth, probably thanks to which he was now able to hide in the forests of Albania, but more than that, he also fell deeper and deeper into the mire of dark magic, mingled with the most evil in the wizarding world, went through many dangerous magical transformations, and finally reappeared as Voldemort, who was difficult for people to recognize. Hardly anyone would associate Voldemort with the smart, handsome boys' student council president who had studied here. ”

"Teach those 'dangerous magical transformations', are they Horcruxes?" Harry asked. But almost at the same time, there was a look of remorse in his eyes, Hermione glared at him, and Ron didn't notice anything at all, still waiting for Dumbledore's answer with great interest.

"I, I happen to be in one, one" Harry struggled to concoct a lie to disguise that he had learned about the Horcrux from Danae and Vio.

But under Dumbledore's bright blue eyes, he felt as if he had been stripped naked, and he had no choice but to be honest.

"It's okay, Harry. Say it to me. Dumbledore said calmly. "Lies are definitely not one of the ways to solve the problem. ”

"It's Danae. Harry finally mustered up the courage to say, "It's a mirror in the vio bedroom, and in it lives a soul who claims to be the sister of Slytherin." She says she made the Horcruxes, and she tells us that Riddle was inspired by the soul of the other half of the soul she left in the Chamber of Secrets, to make her own Horcrux, the journal. ”

Draco's arm trembled unconsciously when he heard this, but he quickly stopped him from clenching his fist, and no one noticed his anomaly.

"So, that basilisk is still in the Chamber of Secrets, isn't it?" Dumbledore asked softly.

"Professor, there's no way it can petrify anyone else," Hermione said quickly, "it's blinded by Fawkes' eyes, and it's obedient to Danae's instructions. ”

"Okay, I got it. Dumbledore nodded, "So, the journal is missing, and Riddle is gone, but he's lost the Chamber of Secrets that he can rely on to make waves, and Danae and the Basilisk are still in the Chamber of Secrets, waiting for the school to deal with it." And you, who learned about the existence of Horcruxes, can I think so?"

"What are you going to do with it?" asked Hermione nervously.

Facing Hermione's eyes, Dumbledore couldn't help but smile and comfort her: "Don't be nervous, if you really want to know, I think I will probably give her the most suitable position." ”

Hermione wanted to ask again, but Vio knew that Dumbledore wouldn't reveal anything easily, so she simply picked up something else, "Professor, do you know anything about Horcruxes?

Dumbledore didn't answer her immediately, but glanced at the light flashing on his fingernails with interest, and then replied kindly, "Although, as your Headmaster, it may be irresponsible to say this, I must tell you that there is no absolute good and evil in the world, there is only one attitude. Danae's mirror and Riddle's journal are in front of you at the same time, and I believe you will have your own attitude towards things like Horcruxes. ”

"Also, many wizards are not ignorant of the dark arts, but they are reluctant to use them, as your professor must have said. As far as I know, Voldemort was a cautious and scheming man, and he knew a lot. ”

After he said this, he stood up and said to the three Harry, "Alright, it's almost fifteen minutes, we should go out together and let Vio have a good rest." So that next time I can enjoy some privileges with Madam Pomfrey. ”

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all laughed.

They got up from Vio's bed and reluctantly said goodbye to her, and Hermione couldn't help but hug Vio, ignoring Harry and Ron's pretending to tremble at it.

"I don't understand these girls. Ron muttered, and Harry left after Dumbledore.

Hermione glanced at him and walked in front of Harry with her head held haughtily.

No one let Draco go.

He let the door close again, and had no intention of leaving with the other four.

Vio squinted slightly in the sunlight from the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, looking at the quiet Draco.

It was the first time for the other party to show her such docile eyebrows, no eyebrows and glare, no disgusted expression, although there was no other expression, but she always felt that she had the upper hand this time, well, this opportunity should be used well. (To be continued.) )
