Chapter 94: The Night Visitor (Part II)

People grow old and become fine.

This is not just a casual statement.

After living for hundreds of years, Dumbledore is undoubtedly an expert in psychology in the wizarding world, even if he does not use the Deception on people, he can infer a person's inner thoughts through subtle changes such as language and expressions.

So, plans such as having the Rogers family adopt Harry, or recruiting the Silent Thugs, may have been mistaken in Snape's eyes, but in Dumbledore's view, they were still under his control.

To be modest, these projects may not have a perfect 100% success rate, but Dumbledore is sure that they will have a success rate of over 98%.

Therefore, Louis used the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets as a starting point, and he knew everything about what he wanted Dumbledore to know.

Dumbledore even made up some conjectures, assuming that the real reason why Louis went to explore the Chamber of Secrets was due to Harry's special relationship with Voldemort on the one hand, and Louie's mysterious prophetic ability on the other, which led to the idea of meeting that old friend.

However, before visiting that old friend, Dumbledore had thought that he and his old friend still had some tacit understanding, after all, they had known each other's depths and each other's dimensions, and they would meet again after many years, and they would be able to complete a relatively friendly exchange again like dry wood meets fire.

For this.

Before leaving, Dumbledore asked Snape for some potions...

Who would have thought that in that prison that didn't look like a prison at all, he was the old friend who didn't see him as he wished, and what he saw was just an ordinary old man who looked like a withered old man!

At that time, holding the carefully prepared potions, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh faintly in regret:

"You're leaving... I know it's easy..."

"But why?"

Suddenly, Dumbledore couldn't help but think of Louis, which, combined with his old friend's mistakes, led to the previous conversation.

Now that it was certain that Louie and that old friend could not be like-minded, Dumbledore's heart tingled slightly, and he quickly sorted out his emotions, and turned to Louis with a kind smile and asked:

"Mister Rogers, I heard Severus say you're interested in rumors of the Chamber of Secrets, why?"

"Because Mr. Hagrid is my friend, Headmaster."

Louis pretended to be serious and said: "As far as I know, Mr. Hagrid was wronged back then, he should not have been deprived of the right to use his wand by the Ministry of Magic. A Slytherin named Tom Riddle! ”

"And what are you going to do next?" Dumbledore asked with interest.

"It's a pity..."

Louis sighed lightly and smiled bitterly, "Although I know what monsters are hidden in the secret room, it seems... It seemed a little more fragile than I thought, or maybe I didn't realize how strong the Fire Charm was that Professor Snape had taught me. ”

"So..."

With that, Louis turned to Dumbledore and asked, "Headmaster, that secret room contains the snakeskin of the basilisk, can it be used to prove Mr. Hagrid's innocence?" ”

"I want to... OK! ”

Blinking slyly, Dumbledore smiled, "Mr. Rogers, I'm glad that Hagrid has made friends like you, and I hope you can learn through this lesson that you're different." ”

"Severus has already gone to the Ministry of Magic to deal with Hagrid's matter, and he must be able to bring you a satisfactory answer to Hagrid."

"Also... Mr. Rogers, you seem to have been in some minor trouble lately, and you need Severus to help you with it? ”

Oh?

This is to educate the pure-blood family with Voldemort's heart set on it?

Secretly pondering the pros and cons of a third party's involvement in this matter, Louis smiled and nodded on the surface, and said:

"Headmaster, if it's convenient... Thank you so much! ”

However, Louie's actual idea was...

"People..."

"You have to be on your own!"

………………

Night.

Nine.

After a friendly exchange with Dumbledore, Louis returned to the dormitory and only chatted with George, Fred, and Galen for a while, and did not teach the three of them some practical magic knowledge as before, nor did he make any preparations for the night outing, but as he said at dinner, he lay down in bed early and went to bed.

But only a few people can rest at this point in time, and most people still have to work hard for their dreams...

Rita Skeeter.

A reporter for the Daily Prophet.

She...

Obviously a good example.

Some people dream of becoming great dancers, others dream of becoming good composers, and Rita Skeeter aspires to become a journalist at a very young age, using her carefully written articles to expose the ugliness that lurks in the human heart, the injustices that exist in reality, and the legends that circulate among wizards.

Although the search for the truth is difficult for anyone, the fire that burns in Rita Skeeter's heart can never be extinguished!

For the sake of her dreams, she delved into the mysteries of the Transfiguration Charm, willing to take countless risks to become an illegal Animagus, and if necessary, to become a beetle to discover the truth!

In recent times, she has set her sights on Gilderoy Lockhart, a well-known writer in the international wizarding world, an honorary member of the League Against the Dark Arts, and a third-class medalist of the Order of Merlin.

No matter how famous Gilderoy Lockhart was and how charming her smile was, Rita Skeeter, with her instincts as a journalist, always believed that Gilderoy Lockhart was a master liar like Dumbledore, and that he was a complete liar in his true nature.

Pity.

Gilderoy Lockhart is not only extremely clever in disguise, but he is also an excellent wizard, and many times Rita Skeeter has turned into a beetle to search for information, but it has been in vain, just like tonight.

"Perhaps..."

"I need some truth potion?"

With this in mind, Rita Skeeter flew back to her office in the form of a beetle, and after turning back into her human form, she first fiddled with her curly hair, then pushed her jeweled glasses, and turned on the light to take out the long-cherished bottle of truth potion from her crocodile leather handbag.

But in the next moment after turning on the light, Rita Skeeter was suddenly stunned.

Because I don't know when...

There's an extra person in her office!

"Is it another Diao Min who is trying to murder me who reported the truth?"

Seeing that the person was shrouded in black robes, Rita Skeeter sneered slightly, and then she saw through the illusion made up by the person with magic with a sharp gaze.

The next second.

"Hum..."

Under the interweaving of the two magical powers, the black robe that symbolized the camouflage gradually faded.

Immediately afterward, feeling that his twenty-fifth layer of disguise was being recognized, Rita Skeeter's handsome young man with long flowing black hair, a slightly pale complexion, and a little purple eyeshadow on the side of his eyes, but always closed his eyes, smiled slightly, and licked the corners of his lips with his tongue that was enough to make all women tremble, and asked in a very seductive hoarse voice:

"Excuse me, Ms. Skeeter... Have you ever heard of a winery? ”
