"Hagrid?" Ron looked incredulous. "I know Hagrid has some special hobby for monsters, but he can't be the one who opens the Chamber of Secrets, only a Slytherin descendant can open the Chamber, do you think Hagrid could be a descendant of Slytherin, Harry?"

"I don't believe it's Hagrid either. Harry wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. "But this Riddle's notebook told me, no, he took me straight into his memory, and witnessed how Riddle had captured Hagrid in the first place, and Riddle won the school's Special Contribution Award for this incident, and Hagrid was expelled from school and broke his wand. ”

"He sued Hagrid, which sounds like Percy did it. Ron said this after listening to Harry's account.

"But monsters kill, Ron. Harry said, "If they shut down Hogwarts, Riddle would be going back to a Muggle orphanage, and I think it's understandable that he would want to stay here." ”

"Anyway, this must have something to do with Hagrid, and I don't believe it was Hagrid who opened the secret room, but Hagrid must know something about the secret room, and we need to ask Hagrid. Harry said, biting his lip.

"It was a lovely visit. Ron said, "Hello, Hagrid, tell us if you have recently released some savage, hairy thing from the castle?"

Eventually, they decided to visit Hagrid on Friday night and see if they could get some information.

The Gryffindor's next Quidditch match was against the Hufflepuffs. Wood insisted that the players train after dinner every day, so Harry had little time to do other than train and complete his homework. However, the training is getting more and more handy, or at least not rainy. The night before Saturday's game, when he walked to his dorm to lay down his broomstick, he felt that the Gryffindors had never been more sure of winning the Quidditch Cup.

But his happy mood didn't last long. As soon as he reached the upper floor of the dormitory, he saw Neville Longbottom, who looked panicked.

"Harry- I don't know who did it. I've just appeared—"

Neville looked at Harry in horror and pushed the door open.

The contents of Harry's chest were thrown everywhere. His clothes lay crumpled on the floor. The sheets had been ripped from his crutches, and the drawers of the bedside table had been pulled open, and the contents were scattered on the mattress.

Harry walked to the side of the bed with his mouth wide open, a few pages that had fallen out of Walking with Trolls under his feet.

As he and Neville put the sheets back on the bed, Ron, Ying'an, and Seamus came in. Dean shouted.

"What's going on, Harry?" I don't know. Harry said. Ron was taking a closer look at Harry's clothes. All the pockets were turned out.

"Somebody's looking for something," Ron said, "is something missing?"

Harry began to pick up all his things, throwing them back into the box one by one. It was only when he threw Lockhart's last book into it that he realized what was missing.

"Riddle's diary is gone. He lowered his voice to Ron.

"What? Only Gryffindors could steal - no one else knows our password. ”

"Not bad at all. Harry said.

"Ron, we have to talk to Hagrid, this is so weird, Riddle's diary was stolen, and Hagrid is the one who can know what happened back then. ”

"But now the castle is very strict at night. Ron said.

"I think," said Harry, lowering his voice, "that it's time to get my father's old robe out again." ”

Harry inherited only one thing from his father: a long, silver cloak of invisibility. It was up to them to sneak out of school to visit Hagrid without being noticed. During the night, Harry and Ron went to bed as usual, and waited until Neville, Dean, and Seamus stopped discussing the Chamber of Secrets and finally fell asleep, then they got out of bed, got dressed again, and draped their robes over the two of them.

Walking through eerie corridors, the journey was not pleasant. Harry had wandered around the castle several times before in the middle of the night, but he had never seen so many people after the sun had gone down. Teachers, prefects, and ghosts patrol the hallways in pairs, looking around for anything out of the ordinary. Harry's cloak of invisibility didn't prevent them from making noises, and at one point it was particularly thrilling, when Ron suddenly tripped and Snape stood guard a few paces away from him. Thankfully, Snape sneezed almost at the same time as Ron cursed. They were relieved when they finally came to the oak doors and gently opened them. It was a starry night, and they hurried toward the lighted window of Hagrid's quarters, until they reached his door, and then they took off their robes. A few seconds after they knocked, Hagrid slammed the door open. They met Hagrid with a set of bows and arrows pointed at them, and the Great Hound Tooth barked loudly behind him. "Oh, it's you," he said, putting down his weapons and glaring at them, "what are you two doing here?,, "What are you doing here?" As they walked into the house, Harry pointed to the bow and arrow. "Nothing, nothing. Hagrid muttered, "I thought—it's okay—sit down, I'll make tea." He seemed a little distracted, and the water in the kettle spilled out, almost extinguishing the fire, and then his thick hand shook violently, and knocked the teapot over. "Are you alright, Hagrid?" Harry said.

"It's okay—" Just then, there was a loud knock on the door.

Hagrid tossed away the fruitcake, and Harry and Ron exchanged glances in panic before quickly draping the Cloak of Invisibility over his body and retreating into a corner. When Hagrid saw that they were all hidden, he grabbed his bow and arrows, and slammed the door open again. "Good evening, Hagrid. "It's Dumbledore. He walked in, looking very stern, and he was followed by Jack Silver. He was followed by a very strange-looking man. The stranger was short, stocky, dusty, with a look of anxiety on his face. The clothes on his body were a strange hodgepodge: a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, a long black cloak, and purple pointed-toe boots. He wore a dark green top hat under his arm.

"That's my dad's boss!" Ron gasped, "Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic!" Harry used his elbow to pound Ron hard and shut him up. Hagrid's face turned pale, and his head began to sweat. He slumped into a chair and looked at Dumbledore and then at Cornelius Fudge.

"Hagrid, you should know what I'm here for, there have been many attacks on Muggles at school, and I was going to take you to Azkaban. "But Professor Dumbledore said he had enough evidence to prove your innocence, so we canceled the plan." ”

"Oh, thanks Merlin. Hagrid slumped into an armchair, his weight rattling the armchair. "Thank you very much, Headmaster. Hagrid choked.

"Hagrid, it's Silver that you have to thank. Dumbledore smiled and said, "If it weren't for Silver's strong testimony, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to do it." ”

"Dumbledore, I still don't understand, even if that monster is a basilisk, how can it be proven that Hagrid is not a murderer?" Fudge said.

"Minister, a creature like a basilisk can only be controlled by a parseltongue, you don't think Hagrid will be a parseltongue. Silver laughed. Actually, I just forgot about it for a while. Fudge snorted and covered up.

"Do you hear that, Harry, Hagrid isn't a murderer, the monster is a basilisk, only a parseltongue—" Ron said, his face suddenly pale. "No, it's not me. Harry was dumbfounded.

"If you can catch the real murderer this time and clear Hagrid's name—" Before Fudge could finish, there was another knock on the door.

Dumbledore went over to open the door. Mr. Lucius Malfoy strode into Hagrid's cabin, wrapped tightly in a long black travel cloak and with a cold, contented smile on his eyelids. Tooth began to bark wildly.

"You're here, Fudge," he said with satisfaction, "good, good. "What are you doing here?" Hagrid said angrily, "Get out of my house!"

"Believe me, my dear friend, I'm not glad to come into your room—oh—you call it a house?" Lucius Malfoy sneered as he looked around the small room. "I just came to the school to have a look, and someone told me that the principal was here. ”

"What the hell are you looking for me, Lucius?" Dumbledore said. He spoke politely, but there was a flame of anger burning in his blue eyes.

"Things are terrible," said Mr. Malfoy lazily, pulling out a long roll of parchment, "and the board thinks it's time to let you go." It's a removal order – you'll see that all twelve directors have signed it. We don't think you're using your talents. There have been so many attacks on the school so far, but you haven't found anything out, and according to your efficiency, I'm afraid Hogwarts will soon be left with no students. ”

"Lucius, Dumbledore has told me that he has found out who is the direct perpetrator of the attack - it is a basilisk that has been accused of it. Fudge said.

"Basilisk?" Lucius Malfoy scoffed. "Why don't you say it's a dragon? ”

"Lucius, do you think we're joking with you?" said Dumbledore, pulling out a large piece of colorful scales that must have belonged to a large snake. "This is what we emerged from the school pipes, and after identification, it belongs to a thousand-year-old basilisk, and the scales have recently fallen off. ”

"Even if you say so. Malfoy said, a wicked smile on his face, "But all twelve of us vote—"

"Mr. Malfoy, I'm afraid things have changed. Silver also pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom. "School Board resolutions can't be changed – but don't forget that I, the Silver family, have a veto on School Board resolutions. ”

"How is that possible, this is—" Lucius Malfoy looked a little annoyed. If not, Mr. Malfoy can go back and look at Article 2 of Chapter 5 of the Board Ordinance, in return for the Silver family's contribution to Hogwarts for nearly ten centuries, the Silver family has a veto on the resolutions of the Hogwarts Board of Directors. ”

"So, what I mean by Silver is that this resolution of the board of directors is null and void," Silver said word for word.

"You-"

"Of course, if Mr. Malfoy is confident in dealing with a millennium basilisk, I, the Silver family, could even support you, Mr. Malfoy, in the position of Headmaster. ”

"Hmph, what if you know that the basilisk did it, if you can't find the real murderer of the basilisk, Dumbledore will also be dismissed!" Lucius Malfoy said a cruel word, strode to the door of the hut, opened it, and slammed it away.

"Lucius may be a little irritated. Fudge put on his hat. "If it's okay, I'll take my leave, and I hope Professor Dumbledore can bring the basilisk to justice as soon as possible. If needed, I can transfer a group of people from the Department of Magical Beasts Management and the Auror office. ”

"Thank you, Minister. Dumbledore said, "I'll let you know if you need to." ”

"It's getting late, and everyone has to go back and rest. Dumbledore said to Silver, "I'm sorry to have you come here so late, Jack." ”

In that moment, Harry was almost certain that Dumbledore's eyes glanced towards the corner where he and Ron were hiding.

"It's alright, Headmaster, with a hand. Silver replied.

It wasn't until everyone was gone that Harry and Ron came out of the cloaks of invisibility.

"Harry, that's great. Hagrid hugged Harry and Ron, and Harry felt like his bones were about to break. "Thanks to Merlin, I'm finally saved......"
