Chapter 22: Conversation

The next day, Harry found that everyone looked at him like a plague, and wherever he went, the little wizard ran away, which made Harry helpless, so he had to hurry through the corridor with Hermione and Ron.

On the other side, Bernard was drinking tea with Dumbledore.

"O Bernard! Is there anything you want me to do? Dumbledore put down his teacup and asked gently.

"That's the professor, there's a name I want to ask if you know?" Bernard said with some embarrassment, as if he was embarrassed to disturb Dumbledore's busy man for such a small matter.

"Oh? One name! What's the name? Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Professor, I wonder if you've heard the name Tom Riddle?" Bernard's tone was still as normal, as if he had asked a very ordinary question.

"Tom Riddle!? Rochefort, I don't know where you heard about this name? Dumbledore sat up straight and asked very seriously.

"Oh! Professor, is there anything wrong with the name? Bernard asked without answering.

Seeing Bernard's reaction, Dumbledore smiled, leaned back in his chair, and said gently, "Well...... Tom Riddle, this is just the name of an ordinary Hogwarts student, but after graduating, he has a very unusual name - Voldemort. ”

What Dumbledore didn't expect was that Bernard actually just said very usually: "Voldemort!" No wonder! With that, Bernard took a black journal out of his pocket and placed it in front of Dumbledore.

"The professor wasn't wondering where I heard the name, but it was actually told to me in this diary, and then I looked around the school and found that fifty years ago, Tom Riddle had won the school's Special Contribution Award, served as the prefect of the house, and was the president of the Hogwarts Boys' Council, but I didn't hear from such a good student, which really made me feel strange, so I wanted to ask the professor, but I didn't expect ......"

Bernard, like other wizards, did not tremble at the sight of Voldemort's name, but said it with a flat face.

Contrary to Bernard's flat face, Dumbledore was a little surprised when he saw the black notebook and asked, "You said, the notebook told you?!" At this moment, Dumbledore could not maintain his all-powerful image, and a trace of horror flashed across his face, which would not have been able to capture this subtle change if it weren't for the special function of Bernard's glasses.

"Yes, Voldemort is worthy of being a top wizard, I don't know how he refined this diary, it is like having his own soul and can think and talk to me, but this diary can also make mistakes, it actually told me that there are demons in this world, how is this possible!"

Bernard was still so flat, but unfortunately although he said it was flat, Dumbledore was not flat at all, and his gaze began to become captivating from the beginning of Bernard's speech.

"Actually, it's not wrong." Dumbledore picked up the diary and looked at it carefully before he spoke: "In the past, there were indeed demons in this world, but I don't know what happened, the magic that summoned demons was invalid, so this magical knowledge gradually disappeared. ”

After speaking, Dumbledore paused and asked Bernard, "Bernard, do you know about mysterious magic?" ”

"Mystic magic!? Of course, Professor Dumbledore, although Beauxbatons is not as educated as Hogwarts, I still know such simple knowledge. Bernard's tone was a little angry.

"Bernard, please don't be angry, I don't mean to offend Beauxbatons, I want to ask if you know what mysterious magic is?" Dumbledore explained, then asked rhetorically.

"Of course, the one that involves soul and time belongs to the genre of mystical magic." Bernard wondered why Dumbledore would ask such a question that everyone knows.

Who knew that Dumbledore shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, there are many mysterious magics, and we also classify the magic that summons demons in the realm of mysterious magic, and mysterious magic is actually magic that cannot be explained by magic." ”

This made Bernard want to laugh a little, magic is not science, and magic cannot be explained.

"Taught Professor Dumbledore, I think ......," Bernard said, looking at the journal, which was still in Dumbledore's hand.

"Don't worry, Bernard, I have a question for you." With that, Dumbledore continued to hold the diary, and had no intention of returning it to Bernard.

"Professor, I don't know what other questions you have?" Bernard's brow furrowed slightly.

"I have only one question, where did you get this diary Bernard from." Dumbledore continued to speak mildly as if he hadn't seen Bernard's displeasure.

"I'm weird about this, I went back one day and found a black notebook on the table, I guess Leia brought it back from, well, Leia is my cat." After Bernard was sure he had finished speaking, Dumbledore's expression became much more subtle.

"That's right! Bernard, this diary is very useful to me, can you put it with me for the time being? Although Dumbledore had a rhetorical tone, the way he looked was that you were going to use violence if you didn't give it to me.

But today Bernard is waiting for this, "Professor, I'm interested in the knowledge of demonology, well, you know. ”

After Bernard left, the old headmasters, who had been pretending to sleep, shouted, and Phoenix was the loudest in the voice: "Demonology! Black magic! Voldemort's relics! The Chamber of Secrets was definitely opened by him. ”

"Quiet! Phoenix! However, Dumbledore had a point, and the young man was worth noting. ”

No matter how messily the old headmasters were talking to each other, Dumbledore just sat quietly and looked through the journal.

……

Giving the diary to Dumbledore is something that Bernard has long thought about, compared to Dumbledore, Bernard's heart is still much kinder or more innocent, although he has what he wants, but he still can't take other people's lives inappropriately, and now everything is easy. Moreover, this diary can help Bernard see a lot of things.

Naturally, Dumbledore had a headache about the diary and the basilisk, and as soon as Bernard threw away the headache, he put his mind on the two books he got from his mentor and Dumbledore, and with these, plus the knowledge of his previous life, he was confident that he could make something extraordinary.
