Chapter 48: Lucius's Calculations

Ginny's tears flowed down her eyes at the sight of Harry, "I did it, Harryβ€”but, I- I swear I didn't mean toβ€”Riddle took control of me, where is he?" The last thing I remember is that he walked out of the diary - and Ron, what's wrong with him? She noticed that Ron was carrying something on his back, but it was empty and motionless.

"It's all right," said Harry, "and Aitch has already killed him. ”

"yes, I'm glad you can still remember me." Aitch threw their wands into Harry's arms.

"And what about Ron? Edge, can you help him unlock the magic? Harry tried to use what he had learned in class to unravel Riddle's spell, but it didn't seem to work well.

Aitch ignored him, and he looked out of the secret room, where a fiery red, swan-sized phoenix flew in, singing a wonderful tune, and flew up to the dome. Its long peacock-like tail feathers dragged out a gorgeous and brilliant light, and its golden claws clung to a piece of cloth.

"Just like the people at Scotland Yard, they will only be late." Aitch picked up the piece of cloth that the phoenix had placed at Harry's feet and unfolded it to see that it was the Sorting Hat.

"This is Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore is back!" Harry looked at the Sorting Hat Aitch was holding, "But what is he doing with this?" ”

Fawkes stopped on Harry's shoulder and looked at the "statue" of the trio strangely, as if Dumbledore hadn't explained the situation!

"If there's anything, go back and talk to Professor Dumbledore." Aitch didn't want to hear Ginny cry anymore, "You have to take responsibility for what you've done." ”

"Keep up." Aitch conjured a rope and tied Ron to Fawkes's claws, not forgetting that there was also a petrified Lockhart in the tunnel. A few men grabbed Fawkes's tail feathers, and a strange light enveloped them, and with a hiss, they entered the pipe and flew straight up.

By the time Fawkes stopped, several people had already appeared in Dumbledore's Headmaster's office. Mrs. Weasley was crying by the fire, and she rushed over with Mr. Weasley, "Ginny, and Ron, oh my God, what's going on?" "They don't look very good now, the underground tunnels have left their robes covered in dirt, and Ron, who is still petrified.

"Don't worry, Arthur," Dumbledore pulled out his wand and flicked it to free Ron, "it's just a petrification charm." Fawkes leaned on Dumbledore's shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Oh?" Dumbledore looked at Aitch with interest, "Can you tell me what's going on?" ”

Harry told him everything he knew, and everyone was a little surprised when he mentioned that Aitch was still the heir of Slytherin. Harry was vague about the duel, after all, it was too fast, and Harry didn't understand it.

"It's just that how Ginny could be controlled by him?" Dumbledore's glasses glowed, "From what I've heard, he's still in the Albanian forest. ”

"What?" Mr. Weasley asked, surprised. "'That person'? Confusing Ginny with magic? But Ginny wasn't...... Ginny didn't ...... Does she have it? ”

"Yes, use that journal ......" Harry looked at Aitch with an inquiring look, and he remembered that the last diary was with him. But Aitch clearly just didn't move.

"Child, I want you to understand: this is very important evidence, and we need it to prove Miss Ginny's innocence." Dumbledore's voice gives a warm, long-lasting wonderful sense of comfort.

Archie took advantage of the fire to speak to Ron, "I said I would ask you to ask me for forgiveness." "The subtext is: If you don't apologize, don't think I'll hand over the diary, and your sister Jinnicole is miserable!

Ron was sitting limply in his chair at this point, he hadn't recovered yet, especially when he had just learned that he had survived from 'that man'. "You ......," Ron resented, still bowing his head, "I...... I'm sorry. ”

"Alright," Dumbledore took the journal from Edge's hand, not only was Ron in a bad mood, but Ginny also had to do a full check, "I think you need to get some rest." Of course, I'll add 200 points to each of your houses. ”

"Professor......" Harry called out to Dumbledore. What we didn't do, the main thing was ...... "Harry didn't want to make the mistake of last year, obviously they didn't do anything, so why should they share the credit of Edge?"

"Okay, let's have a good talk, let's go out first."

"Who are you? Hello, Mr. Malfoy. Leaving Dumbledore's office and walking down the hallway, Aitch saw Draco's father, Lucius, approaching, followed by a house-elf.

"Dobby, you leave first, I have something to say to Mr. Edge." Lucius kicked Dobby.

The two turned into a secluded corner, "Draco told me you helped him a lot. I have to thank you. Especially last year, you saved his life. Lucius thanked Edge, mainly for the time when he blocked the Death Curse in the Forbidden Forest.

"You're welcome, Draco is my friend too." Aitch dodged Lucius's salute. "But, Mr. Malfoy, may I ask you something?"

"I wonder why you sent that journal?" Aitch lowered her voice, "As far as I know, you don't want Draco to know about this, you want to get rid of 'that person', right?" ”

Lucius was taken aback, "You know? He looked around cautiously. Yes, since his disappearance, a lot of people have wavered, and until last year, I didn't make up my mind. But he did it to Draco, and I couldn't go down the same path with him. ”

That's the hatred of attempted murder! Even if Lucius continues to follow Voldemort, one day Voldemort will have his good fruit to eat if he knows? Voldemort's first reaction would definitely not be apology, but suspicion - I almost killed your son, and you are still so loyal to me?

Then I remembered that back then, he solemnly asked me to keep a diary. It must be important, but I can't destroy it, so I thought, give it to that savior, isn't it said that it is the nemesis of 'that person'? Plus Dumbledore, it can definitely be done. When I was at the Blotted bookstore, I took the opportunity to stuff that Weasley girl's book, Harry Potter and the Weasleys were close, and if something happened, I would definitely deal with it. ”

Aiqi seems to be calm on the surface, but in his heart he is actually dumbfounded, this pusher, this borrowing knife to kill, this borrowing strength, it's really slippery! It's just an antelope hanging horns, whimsical, and by the way, it can also make the Weasleys, who have always been unpleasant, suffer a loss.

"But I didn't expect Dumbledore to be so inactive." Lucius said angrily, "So I had to force him out of office by kicking him down." ”

During the conversation with Lucius, Aitch finally understood why Dobby knew the inside story and was able to run out of Malfoy's house to give Harry a hint, which was Lucius deliberately leaking the question to Harry. Based on last year's performance, Harry's ability is truly unpromising.

And, in Lucius's words, Dobby is an outlier among house-elves. A house-elf who wants to be free, who talks gibberish all day long, he has long wanted to drive away, and just takes this opportunity to squeeze out his surplus value.
