Dumbledore's story is enough to fill seven books to form a series.

But the headmaster was reluctant to tell anyone, and William did not continue to ask.

With William's careful comfort, Dumbledore finally controlled his emotions.

William hesitated, then diverted from the topic and continued to ask Hagrid's question.

"What does the opening of the Chamber of Secrets have to do with Hagrid?"

"You should know that Hagrid was expelled from school back then, right?"

William bowed slightly, he knew about it when he first entered school, but Hagrid refused to tell anyone why.

"Fifty years ago, Hagrid was just like you, a young, young third-year wizard, but he had one at school...... Eight-eyed giant spider. ”

"......" is really something Hagrid would do!

Although William and Hagrid have a good relationship, there is one thing to say, he was really not wronged at all when he was expelled.

Is that something that can be kept in school?

William is no longer a little wizard who has just entered school and doesn't know anything.

Back then, Hagrid had to take him to stroke Aragog's leg hair...... Leg hair?

Oh, my God!

If William encounters the eight-eyed giant spider, he will probably directly give it a fierce fire spell and charcoal roast spider hooves!

"But I still don't understand, what does his expulsion have to do with the secret room?"

"Fifty years ago, the secret room was opened, and a girl died...... Everyone didn't know that the monster was a basilisk, and then a student reported Hagrid for raising an eight-eyed giant spider, and he happened to be the backstabber. ”

"Fifty years ago...... Tom Riddle reported? William was stunned.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded, "When we look back at this now, it's easy to see the problem.

But at the time, except for my doubts, everyone decided that the murderer was Hagrid. ”

William nodded.

That's right

At that juncture: one was an excellent student, an honor student liked by the professors, and a prefect;

One is a stupid big guy who likes to raise strange creatures, and he does have little monsters at school......

You're a professor, who do you trust?

Let's take a look at this matter today:

One is the murderous Dark Lord; One is a key keeper who has worked hard at Hogwarts for decades......

The answer is self-explanatory.

But the reason why this matter has not been overturned is also very simple...... There is no evidence.

Can you still bring Voldemort to trial?

Even if Voldemort is arrested, people will have a reason: "You can't just say that I was bad when I was in school because I became bad in the future, right?"

Don't plug any plugs, just stick them in my nose! ”

Moreover, most of the people who experienced this incident have passed away...... Even those who are still alive are at least sixty or seventy years old.

No one would think of overturning what happened half a century ago.

Wait a minute......

In a way, Hagrid's arrest is not a bad thing. He was not at school, and the fact that there was another attack naturally proved that it had nothing to do with him.

Now there are only five people who have been attacked, and the diary with obsessive-compulsive disorder is to make up for seven!

William spoke his mind, but Dumbledore shook his head.

"William, I think the sixth victim has appeared."

"Who?"

"Lockhart."

"How is that possible?"

Dumbledore said calmly, "I don't know that many people used to write poetry, and Tom Riddle happened to be one of them fifty years ago. ”

"How would he know?"

"Tom asked around about my preferences, to please me, to compliment me."

"It sounds weird."

Not only is it weird, the principal almost said: To lick me!

It turns out that Voldemort was also a licking dog.

"Not what you think, William." Dumbledore squinted, "Tom back then was completely different from Voldemort later, so it can be said that they were like two people."

Tom knows all the professors' hobbies, he loves to delve in, develop all kinds of connections, and is good at wrapping himself in great looks and amazing talents.

I have said more than once that Voldemort in his youth was more terrible than he was later...... It's not that he's magical, but he knows how to demagogue. ”

William's jaw ...... Indeed, the reckless man is not terrible, but I am afraid that this reckless man will use his brain!

"So you think that Lockhart knew that you were a poet and that the diary told him?"

"That's just one of the reasons." Dumbledore's voice was low.

"And the magic that Lockhart unleashed on Valentine's Day...... It's an improvement on the Dark Mark mark.

Of course, there are quite a few wizards who can cast the Dark Mark mark, and I will do it.

Back in the days of the Wizarding Wars, my favorite thing to do was to use the Dark Mark to lure the Death Eaters over. ”

Groove ...... Ruthless!

I don't know what kind of grass and mud horses those Death Eaters were drawn to and found that it was Dumbledore standing under the Dark Devil's mark.

"Tom invented this magic when he was in school.

In order to show a sense of ritual, after their prank, they will release this mark on the campus. ”

"So, you think it's a diary recalling the past?"

"yes, old things like to do that, don't they?" Dumbledore shrugged.

"Plus, Lockhart reported Hagrid to the Ministry of Magic, claiming that he had captured the attack......ers in the vault," William continued.

"It should also be instigated by the diary, it wants to repeat the old tricks, trying to set up blame and divert attention."

William received information from Rita that Lockhart had reported to the Ministry of Magic that Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

That's why Lockhart thought he was going to catch the attacker when he started school at Christmas, because the diary gave him a hint.

"That's right, there are all kinds of indications that the diary was once in Lockhart's hand......" Dumbledore crossed his hands and sighed lightly:

"Then referring to Ron, Lockhart should be the sixth to be attacked."

William raised an eyebrow, and he noticed that the headmaster had used a word - 'ever'.

"I do guess it was." A look of solemnity flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

"The journal gave me such a clear signal that there was no reason for him to stay with Lockhart.

It's like he exposed Ron and left immediately...... This is a cautious guy. ”

"It's a diary...... How did you leave? William said.

"yes, we have to pay attention to this question, how did the journal leave Ron then, and how did it leave Lockhart now?" Dumbledore asked.

"This shows the ...... inside Hogwarts And an inner ghost?! ”

"That's right, most likely!" Dumbledore nodded, "There's probably a wizard working on the diary." ”

Both were silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Dumbledore suddenly explained: "William, when the phoenix appears, I need you to go to the secret room and save Harry. ”

"Hmm...... Well?! ”

William was stunned, what the hell...... Is he going to be the headmaster's tool man again?

Sure enough, it will always come!

Not to be diverted by William's will!
