Chapter 52: Dumbledore's Suspicions

The banquet was delayed, and the students were a little confused.

"Cousin, what are the professors waiting for?" Zhang Qiu complained, "I'm dying of hunger!"

"Maybe Professor Dumbledore is coming back, after all, the basilisk has been dealt with. Penelope guessed, "I think Professor Dumbledore will get back to Hogwarts as soon as possible, and this is his home." ”

Zhang Hao agrees with Penelope's point of view, Professor McGonagall is most likely waiting for Dumbledore and Hagrid.

Creak!

The door to the auditorium slammed open, and two figures appeared in the doorway.

As Zhang Hao expected, it was indeed Dumbledore and Hagrid who returned.

They looked like they were in a hurry.

Professor McGonagall took the lead in applauding, and the auditorium erupted in thunderous applause.

Dumbledore and Hagrid walked to the professorship with applause, and Hagrid's eyes were already welling up with tears—he had never heard such a grand applause in his life.

Dumbledore's face was flat, he raised his hands and pressed them down, and only after the applause fell silent did he say, "I really didn't expect Hogwarts to be so united in my absence. Together with his students, the professor and his students have been able to slay the monsters that have plagued Hogwarts for hundreds of years. It's an amazing achievement, and I'm so proud of you! Oh! I think we're all hungry, so let's leave some things to the final ceremony! Now, let's have dinner together. ”

After he finished speaking, he clapped his palms, and various delicacies appeared on the tables of each college.

And today's food, most of the students have never seen it.

"What kind of meat is this? Is it basilisk meat?"

"It smells good, can you really eat it?"

"No matter, I'll eat first!"

Who is the most gluttonous at Hogwarts?

Goyle and Crabbe, of course, they don't care if the food on the table is poison or not, as long as they smell the fragrance, they can turn into gluttony!

The most reassuring thing to eat is Zhang Hao after all.

These dishes are something he personally teaches the elves to make, and there will be absolutely no problems.

He took a bite of the snake meat, allowing the delicacy to stimulate his taste buds, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

Wine, food, and beauty are worth it, even if it costs a little when pursuing them.

Everyone was happy at the banquet, Dumbledore didn't even deal with Lockhart, he didn't even say a word at the banquet.

This made Zhang Hao very puzzled, he thought that Dumbledore still had some secret plans, and it took a lot of brain cells to guess for this.

But in the end, he couldn't guess what Dumbledore meant......

The end of the semester is getting closer and closer, and the mandrake is finally ripe.

The unlucky bastards who were petrified by the basilisk were finally saved, and Zhang Hao watched as they got rid of those strange postures.

Ron was the first to wake up, and the moment he woke up, he exclaimed, "Basilisk!

The kid was so frightened that his tongue was knotted, and he seemed to be stuck on the day he was attacked.

The second to wake up was Draco, who dropped his wand to the ground and shouted, "For Demacia!"

Uh! This guy is still addicted to LOL and can't extricate himself!

Then there was Harry, who bravely shouted, "The basilisk has appeared!

Zhang Hao sighed: "Sure enough, the ignorant are fearless, Harry, how dare you challenge the basilisk with the strength of five people?

He only guessed that they had encountered the basilisk by chance, not that they had come across the basilisk in search of him.

In the end, Hermione and Daphne woke up almost at the same time.

They pounced on Zhang Hao together and cried in horror.

Zhang Hao hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry! Everything has passed, and the basilisk has been killed by us." Aha! I remember, I left you some snake meat. Freeze well with ice cubes to ensure that it is very fresh. ”

The friends were stunned when they heard the news!

"Oh my God, what happened during my absence?" Draco said incredulously, "You killed the basilisk?"

"Cool!" Ron asked excitedly, "Is this true? You're not lying to us, are you?"

Zhang Hao smiled: "Do you think I'm lying to someone?"

"I must have been dreaming that such a terrible creature was killed by you. Harry shook his head and said in a trance, "I always thought it was invincible, after all, even professors have to think about how to deal with it. ”

Daphne excitedly hugged Zhang Hao's arm, she looked soft and glutinous, and she was very attached to Zhang Hao.

"Hao, tell us about it," Hermione said excitedly, "I guess you must have been involved, how the hell did you do it?"

Everyone showed an expectant expression, Zhang Hao couldn't be bored to show off his achievements with his friends, he said perfunctorily: "Since the matter has passed, don't ask so much." If you really want to know, just ask somebody! I have a lot to do, but I don't have time to tell you about these inconsequential things. ”

Although he didn't want to say more, this couldn't stop his friends from learning the truth.

They caught Pansy, who had come to visit them, and asked hard about what had happened.

Pansy glanced at Zhang Hao, and then began to tell the story of the battle from the perspective of a bystander.

The whole story is like an epic, and they listen to it straight to their mouths.

Not only that, but after listening to it, they felt incredible, and even their IQ was ruthlessly crushed.

"It's a great idea to disturb the basilisk's sight and hearing with lime powder, pepper, and chili flakes!"

"That's right! and feeding the basilisk to eat stones...... What kind of mind would have come up with such a clever plan?"

"I have to admit that this bastard did a great job!"

The eyes of the young men were full of admiration, and the eyes of the little girls were ......

A sense of crisis rose in Zhang Hao's heart, and Daphne and Hermione looked at him as if they were going to eat him.

......

The major crisis is cleared and calm returns to Hogwarts, but the students hear another piece of bad news.

The final exam, which was originally scheduled to be cancelled, is about to resume!

When the students wailed, Professor Snape explained:

"Originally, I looked at you pitiful, and I was going to let you have a relaxing end of the semester. But you're a shame in the Chamber of Secrets—using spells on the basilisk's skins, petrification charms, and disarming charms? Does that do anything? Honestly, you're the worst class of students I've ever taken!"

Harry and Ron hated Snape even more, they had been petrified for so long, and God knows how many schoolwork?

Zhang Hao couldn't help but feel sad for Snape, what he did as a bird was not worth it!

Because it wasn't up to him to decide whether or not to reinstate the final exams - it was up to Dumbledore to nod his head.

Obviously, Snape is helping Dumbledore again!

At the end of the last metamorphosis class of the semester, Professor McGonagall stopped Zhang Hao.

"Mr. Zhang, Professor Dumbledore wants to see you, come with me. She said kindly, "He must have something to discuss with you, I guess it has something to do with the black notebook, you better prepare." ”

Zhang Hao was a little suspicious in his heart, and he didn't understand why Dumbledore summoned him at this time.

They arrived together in the Headmaster's office, and Dumbledore was still pacing back and forth.

"Albus," Professor McGonagall reminded, "Mr. Zhang Hao is here. ”

Dumbledore woke up from his trance, and he smiled, "Our hero is here, find a place to sit!Minerva, I want to talk to Mr. Zhang alone, thank you for helping me bring him." ”

"You're welcome," Professor McGonagall smiled, "and I have a nice conversation, I'll go first." ”

Only Zhang Hao and Dumbledore were left in the room, as well as their phoenix.

"Professor, did you come to me for something?"

Zhang Hao knows that at some times, speaking first means falling into passivity. But not wanting to speak first would mean wasting time doing tai chi, and he wasn't interested in doing that.

"Hehe, just like last year, I called you just to ask a few questions. Dumbledore said calmly, "I'm sure you'll still be honest with me, right?"

The old man's eyes shone with wisdom, and nothing seemed to hide from him in this world.

Zhang Hao was a little surprised in his heart, he guessed that this old man had already doubted himself, otherwise he would not have used words to promote him at the beginning.

"Professor, let's talk about your problem first!" he also said calmly: "Of course I don't need to hide what I know, and I can't do what I don't know even if I want to." Isn't it?"

"Ahh Dumbledore lifted his glasses and nodded, "It's my negligence, then pick up what you can answer and tell me." ”

"You ask!" Zhang Hao also nodded: "I also want to know, what confusion are you as wise as you?"

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then asked calmly, "Do you already know some great secrets, for example, about this black notebook?"

Zhang Hao was silent for a moment, and finally said frankly: "That's right, I do know what it is." ”

At his level, he may choose to hide when questioned by others, but he absolutely disdains lying.

And it's not easy to build trust between people, and any deception can lead to the collapse of hard-earned trust.

Voldemort is the enemy of all normal people, Zhang Hao and Dumbledore have the same attitude towards Voldemort, they are a united front, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being.

In this case, as long as trust can be built, nothing is a problem.

Now Dumbledore clearly had a suspicion, and if he chose to deceive, it would definitely lead to unpredictable consequences.

Zhang Hao didn't want to have an extra enemy out of thin air, especially since this enemy was still the most powerful wizard in the world.

"So, what do you think the Black Notebook is?" Dumbledore asked, with a little more inconspicuous eagerness in his tone, "how did you find it special?"

"You should know what it is, right?" Zhang Hao hesitated, "This is a Horcrux, a Horcrux made with modern cutting-edge black magic. It's Voldemort's powerful and indestructible secret, and you should have discovered it, right?"

Dumbledore spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "No, I was just a little suspicious—I had never used that magic, so I didn't know what it was. I've never seen a Horcrux, so I'm not as sure as you are. Seriously, if you weren't so honest, I'd even suspect that you made Horcruxes too. ”
