Principal's Office.

After watching William's memories, Dumbledore led him out of the meditation basin and back to his room.

The headmaster closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he took a long breath, and his worries became heavier and heavier.

"William, your memory is important.

I've always wanted to get a closer look at Voldemort's state, and this passage confirms many of my suspicions, especially about his immortal magic. ”

"What kind of magic, Professor?" William wondered.

"I can't tell you that the whole chain of evidence lacks the most critical physical evidence." Dumbledore sighed and began to divert the subject.

"Since you came to me with me, you naturally want to leave the time loop, is there anything else you don't know? About the whole thing. ”

William nodded, and began to ask with ease:

"Didn't Quirrell become a ghost? Why did Voldemort occupy his body. ”

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands, and muttered for a moment, "It's a long story, I told you when I was in the Forbidden Forest that Voldemort had been controlling Quirrell all along. ”

William bowed slightly.

"In fact, he's hiding in the back of Quirrell's head."

William was dumbfounded.

Some time ago, he offered a high reward for the students to probe under the scarf, and even carried out all kinds of violent beatings...... Feelings are all in the face of the Dark Lord?

It's a big joke!

Wait, William didn't seem to do it himself, but it was the Slytherin students who worked the hardest, and they didn't show any mercy.

It's a pity that there is no evidence left, otherwise when Voldemort rises again, he will pack the evidence to him.

Among the parents of these students should have been quite a few Death Eaters, such as Lucius Malfoy.

It's a pity......

William felt slightly regretful.

Dumbledore didn't notice William's distraction, and he continued: "This kind of host parasitism will greatly reduce Quirrell's vitality, especially after fighting you twice, Quirrell will probably only have a few months to live.

That's when Voldemort, I guess, suddenly had the idea of giving up on Quirrell. ”

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and said calmly:

"Voldemort undoubtedly had no friends, and his men were servants.

He can sacrifice anyone, even if that person has helped him.

So Voldemort sent Quirrell to the penalty area to die, and then used dark magic to transform him into a ghost.

After Quirrell turned into a ghost, he mixed up a wave of audio-visual and tried to get me to let my guard down, but Voldemort himself remained hidden at the school until today. ”

"But aren't ghosts incapable of touching others? I think he can touch Harry. William wondered.

"William, do you know how Peeves are formed?" Dumbledore's right hand was raised slightly, and a book floated over.

"I don't know." William had indeed been curious as to why Peeves was different from ordinary ghosts.

"Peeves has lived in the castle since the inception of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

To be precise, he was born with the entire building, especially during the period when the castle was home to a large number of children.

He is a strange creature formed by the minds of his students. ”

Dumbledore handed William the copy of Hogwarts Secrets.

William gave a quick glance and looked at Peeves' contents on it.

It records the reason for Peeves' birth, as well as the school administrator's struggle with him.

"I have thought more than once that Voldemort was the best student at Hogwarts, and that he took advantage of the special circumstances of the school to transform Quirrell into this form.

Later, Quirrell's soul was sacrificed with black magic, creating a short-lived body, even if it was different from the normal physical body. ”

"Then why can't he touch Harry's body, I saw him touch Harry's body with a pained expression."

"I told you, William." Dumbledore looked extremely sad, "Lily has cast a spell to protect Harry. ”

"Prehistoric mysteries." William said.

"That's right, that power is extraordinarily powerful, not only bounced off Voldemort's death curse, but also left the power of love in Harry's body, protecting him until adulthood.

That power was hidden in Harry's blood and skin, and it was for this reason that Quirrell couldn't touch him.

Quirrell was filled with hatred, greed, and ambition, and sold his soul to Voldemort, and it would be painful for him to come across someone with Lily's powers on him, especially when he was in the same state. ”

Dumbledore had spoken to William more than once about prehistory, and until today, when he saw Quirrell's appearance, he realized that this power was really powerful.

Dumbledore seemed to know what William was thinking, and he explained, "I know you're curious about where the prehistoric mysteries are, I do know a little. ”

Dumbledore waved his wand, and a phantasm of a building appeared in front of William.

"This is the Ministry of Magic, on the ninth basement level, there is a Department of Mysteries."

William said, "I've heard of the Department of Mysteries, and it's here that Tywin stole the time turner. ”

Dumbledore nodded, "Yes, but there's more to it than just a time turner.

The vast majority of the contents of this department are highly classified. Only a handful of wizards in the Ministry of Magic can know what's in the department.

The Department of Occult Affairs studies many of the world's mysteries, such as love, space, thought, time, death, and more.

These things are all extensions of prehistoric mysteries.

Deep in the Department of Mysteries, there is a locked room that hides some prehistoric mysteries that even the Ministry of Magic has studied for centuries that cannot be opened. ”

William squinted, this was the first time Dumbledore had told him the whereabouts of a prehistoric mystery.

But since the Ministry of Magic couldn't open it for centuries, William didn't think he could open it.

Just because he's handsome? Inexistent.

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and relaxed, "Still have questions?" ”

"And the last one, where did that basilisk come from?"

"Oh, you ask a question that embarrasses me too." Dumbledore sighed.

"You're supposed to have checked at the Quidditch arena, right?"

"That's right."

After the basilisk was killed, William went through a deep hole in the ground to find the basilisk, but found nothing.

Because in the middle of the Quidditch arena, there is a section of pipe that leads directly to the Black Lake.

In other words, the basilisk swam from the Black Lagoon and then through the pipe, out of the Quidditch arena.

But the Black Lake is too big.

"There is a legend that Salazar Slytherin built an underground structure under Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Chamber of Secrets."

Dumbledore summoned a book again and handed it to William.

"Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets before leaving, so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school.

Only the heir can open the Chamber of Secrets, release the horrors inside, and let it purify the school and rid it of all those who don't deserve to learn magic. ”

"The scary thing is a basilisk?" William wondered.

"I think what Slytherin left behind is indeed a basilisk." Dumbledore said seriously.

"But he left the basilisk for another purpose, never to eliminate Muggle-born students.

In fact, rumors of the Chamber of Secrets began to circulate at Hogwarts centuries after Slytherin left school. ”

"Someone deliberately misrepresented what Slytherin meant?" William raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." Dumbledore obviously didn't want to talk deeply, and he said lightly: "Voldemort found the basilisk and put it in the Quidditch arena, and attracted me away, so that he has enough time to deal with Harry and take the Philosopher's Stone." ”

William nodded, he had fully understood the whole thing, and there was no trace of doubt.

The ring on the index finger of his right hand suddenly became hot, and an eagle flew out of the ring and stood on William's shoulder.

It stared at Dumbledore and suddenly grabbed William's shoulders and pulled him up.

William was caught in a whirlpool, and when he woke up again, he was already in his bed.

The time loop is finally over.
