187. A plan that dies before it even begins

Looking at Lucius McGos, who walked out of the principal's office, he could only say that he was lucky.

"I hope you can get out of here, after all, you don't belong here anymore." Lucius walked to the door and turned back to shout taunts inside.

McGoss, they quickly walked past him as he turned around. Ron also dropped a ball in front of him.

As the door closed behind him, a shouting came from outside, and Ron smirked at Harry and McGoss.

Harry smiled, his nervousness eased. Then they ripped off their cloaks and ascended the spiral staircase, holding the griffon-shaped brass knocker to open the gleaming oak door.

The furnishings in the office were no different from the last time McGoth had visited, and Dumbledore sat across the table and watched them quietly.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Hagrid," Harry said as soon as he saw Dumbledore as he entered.

"I know Hagrid is innocent." Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Harry, "He's a Hogwarts teacher and my friend, and I won't let him suffer injustice." After saying this, his face suddenly changed.

"But you guys, do you know how dangerous it is to run out of the break room now? In this extraordinary period, I hope that you can obey my words like other students, instead of sneaking out, I will not see it today, and the next time I commit it, the school rules will deal with it. ”

Seeing such a serious Dumbledore Harry and Ron for the first time, they subconsciously shrank their heads, and waited until they heard the last breath.

"But if you're transferred, there's no next time." Magos stepped forward and sighed.

Dumbledore stared at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, even if I'm not here, I can punish you accordingly." ”

"Can't you just stay?" Harry asked in a deep voice.

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, "The decision made by the Board of Directors will be difficult unless the two missing students can be recovered and the culprits can be found. ”

"Who is Ravenclaw missing?" Ron asked.

"Luna Lovegood."

Harry and Ron were stunned when they heard the name, and it felt somewhat familiar.

"We met on the train."

"I remembered, the girl who said McGoth was undercover." Ron exclaimed.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I probably know where they are now." Magos said slowly, knowing that it was Luna who was missing, he completely gave up hiding it.

"You know?" Harry and Ron stared at their best friend with wide eyes.

Dumbledore's brows jumped, and his deep gaze looked at McGoss, who was full of seriousness,

"Where are they?"

"The Chamber of Secrets. Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. ”

Hearing this answer, Dumbledore's eyes softened, "I didn't expect to be discovered by you in the end." ”

Hearing Dumbledore's words, McGoth was stunned, what does this mean?

"The reason why Hagrid is suspicious is that this incident is almost the same as the murder that happened 50 years ago."

After listening to Dumbledore's narration, Harry never thought that Hagrid would be involved in such a big matter.

"The same person did this disappearance?"

"Maybe." If Dumbledore hadn't found the basilisk, he really thought it might be the same person, but after knowing that it was a basilisk, he wasn't very sure, there are many ways to control magical beasts, and the people who were attacked this time were pure-blood wizards, which did not match the rumors last time.

"It's just that how do you know this, yes, if I'm not mistaken, there was a gag order about the heir of Slytherin, and the students who knew about it had graduated, and the professors wouldn't have leaked the news to you."

"I know it from a magic journal." McGoth was nervous.

"Magic Journal?" Dumbledore was confused. Could it be a prop left over by that class of students?

"Its owner's name is Tom Riddle." McGoth didn't bother to hide it, although maybe Dumbledore didn't care about the journal, but he would gather all his attention when he said the name.

Sure enough, Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and his face was much more serious than just now.

"Who is Tom Riddle?" Harry looked at Dumbledore's expression and asked curiously at McGoss.

"I don't know." Magos shook his head, "That journal says its owner is named that. ”

"You mean it told you? Can it communicate with you? Dumbledore stood up and asked with a solemn look on his face.

McGoth nodded, then told Dumbledore how he got the diary, how he discovered its abilities and how he could communicate with it when he was ready, and finally concocted the fantasy that the diary was shown to him was Hagrid's.

"It's very dangerous." Dumbledore said, "You've done a good job of preparing in advance, but it's best to show the professor or me this kind of prop in the future." ”

"I know, but who is he?" McGoth asked, feigning ignorance.

Dumbledore looked at Harry, "You'll find out later, but not until then," he paused and slowly sat back in his chair, mentally connecting the basilisk, the Chamber of Secrets, Tom Riddle, and the girl who died fifty years ago, plus the snake old man. He thought to himself. In this way, the entrance to the secret room is revealed. With a bottom in his heart, he looked at the Harry and the others in front of him, thinking that maybe he could give them a chance to practice, so he said quietly.

"It probably knows the entrance to the chamber. I hope you'll hear from it within two weeks. ”

Harry, they knew what it meant in two weeks, but McGoth didn't expect Dumbledore to not immediately ask him to hand over the diary, and he didn't know that Dumbledore had already noticed the location of the entrance at that moment, and had a new attention, so he didn't think about it,

"I already know where the entrance is."

Well, Dumbledore's plan had died before it could even begin, and there was no more reason for them to find out for themselves, and he regretted that he hadn't thrown a deadtongue at McGoth.

"Where?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.

"The abandoned girls' bathroom is where Myrtle was killed."

"Without further ado, we'll go over now." Now that the plan has been disrupted, it's time to save people.

He led the three of them out of the Headmaster's office at a crossing, where they met an angry Professor McGonagall, followed by Hermione, whose eyes were a little red and swollen.

"Harry Potter, McGosswell, Ron Weasley." Because Dumbledore was at the front, she didn't see it, but she noticed McGoth and them instantly.
