"Harry and Ethan, Albus, that's not appropriate, is it?"

Professor McGonagall immediately questioned why she had let two junior students follow her into the secret room, where she didn't know what kind of danger was hidden, let alone facing a monster that had attacked countless people in the school.

"Minerva, with Severus, there will be no problem. ”

Dumbledore didn't emphasize it, but when he did, Professor McGonagall knew that Dumbledore had made a decision.

The Headmaster seemed to be a very kind man, but Professor McGonagall knew that once Dumbledore had made a decision, there was hardly anyone who could get him to change his mind.

Realizing this, she stopped dissuading her, but told Harry Potter and Ethan to be careful, and asked Snape to protect the two students.

"Now let's go in and see what's inside. ”

Of course, Dumbledore would not be the first to jump, the first to go in was Snape, then Dumbledore, and after Harry and Ethan glanced at each other, Ethan jumped first.

If possible, he preferred to land slowly, but Harry was chasing after him, and he didn't want Harry to step on his head.

Speeding down the 'chute', Ethan soon arrived at his destination.

Because he was prepared, he didn't fall to the ground like Harry Potter in the back, but stood firmly on top of a large pile of bones, and then gently took out his wand and cast a cleaning spell on himself, cleaning away the dirt and dust that was contaminated when he slid down.

After doing this, he turned his head to look at Snape and Dumbledore next to him, these two professors also had not been touched by the slightest dust, and they should have used cleaning magic to clean their appearance.

In comparison, Harry was the last to arrive and still fall to the ground, but no one offered to clean it up for him - if he didn't have the ability himself, he would have to keep it that way.

"Don't go far with me. ”

Dumbledore gave an order, and then followed Snape further into the Chamber of Secrets......

Snape took the lead, Dumbledore took Harry and Ethan to follow, and took care of the two students by the way, such a combination had no suspense at all against a basilisk who did not have a high IQ.

The only trouble with this combination is that the serpent won't appear without Voldemort's active summoning.

But it's just a little troublesome, for Dumbledore, it's not difficult to pull out this big snake, as for the battle that follows, it's also uneventful, Harry and Ethan just need to stand in the distance, watch Snape and Dumbledore cast the heroic posture of the magic hammer snake, and shout from time to time.

Harry Potter, who was supposed to have fought hard and then killed the Great Snake in a thrilling way, had only one effect on the other hand, using the Parseltongue to open the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, and he didn't show anything else.

After eliminating the basilisk and leaving the secret room, Dumbledore simply said a few words to Harry Potter and let him go back to rest, but Ethan was left by Dumbledore again and taken to the headmaster's room to talk alone.

Ethan looked at where Dumbledore and Snape were standing: one was in front of him, and Snape was always behind his flank, and he chose Ethan's left rear, which was not conducive to right-handed attacks.

"What's the matter?" Professor Dumbledore. ”

"There's something I want to talk to you about. Although Dumbledore was calm, Ethan noticed that he was holding a wand in his hand, but it was not easy to detect because of the wide sleeves of his robe and the cover of the back of his hand: "Before I do that, I need to make sure, is Ethan-Arendelle your real name?"

"Ethan is my real name. ”

Dumbledore nodded, he understood what Ethan meant: Arendelle wasn't his real last name.

"And what is your full name......?"

"It's Ethan. ”

Even though he didn't have to look back, Ethan could still perceive Snape clenching his wand and settling slightly, allowing him to cast his spells at any moment.

Dumbledore watched quietly for a moment, and found that Ethan had always been very calm and calm, and seemed not to be worried about the current situation at all - either relying on it or not realizing the extent of the problem.

Judging from the wisdom that Ethan had shown before, he was not such a stupid person, so he must have relied on something.

"You know what? Ethan. Dumbledore gathered his thoughts and decided that it would be better to talk calmly first: "I used to think you were just a very smart and ambitious young man...... At the time, I thought the worst case scenario would be for Slytherin to have another Tom Riddle. ”

Ethan pursed his lips and picked up when Dumbledore paused slightly, "That's pretty lifting." ”

"No, I think you have that potential......"

"No, no, you misunderstood me. Ethan interrupted Dumbledore with a wave of his hand, "I mean you're holding Tom Riddle up too much. ”

Dumbledore was stunned, he didn't expect Ethan to say this, his first reaction was that Ethan didn't know who Tom Riddle was, but judging from his expression, it was obviously not the case - this was also in line with his previous judgment, Ethan knew a lot of things, and he didn't happen to be involved in the Philosopher's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets.

Ethan, Tom Riddle's alternate identity, must know and know the situation to say something like that...... Could it be that Ethan is just an arrogant and ignorant child?

Dumbledore was a little confused, and had to ask to make sure he was, "You should know Tom Riddle's alternate identity......"

"Voldemort. Ethan nodded, "Yes, I know who Tom Riddle really is." ”

Then he spread his hands, and this expression fully proved that what he just said was what he meant: Tom Riddle deserves to be compared to me?

Snape, who was standing in the back, was already in a state of stupor, and he felt that the situation was more outrageous than he had imagined.

He thought that Ethan might be in a panic and overwhelmed, or resist beyond his strength and be captured by himself, or simply fall to his knees and beg for mercy, like countless Death Eaters who have been caught.

But I didn't expect Ethan to make such a statement - now it is certain that Ethan is definitely not Voldemort's man, because the Death Eaters would not dare to be so disrespectful to the Dark Lord.

Dumbledore looked at Ethan for a moment, reached out to stop what Snape was about to say, and then asked a question that seemed to be irrelevant.

"How were you doing at Hogwarts?"

Ethan suddenly laughed very happily, and when Dumbledore asked this question, he realized that Dumbledore had made the right decision, and that it was a good fit for Ethan's needs.

In that case, he should have acted as if nothing had happened to the various probing spells he had secretly released before.

"Very well, Professor Dumbledore, there's a lot of knowledge here that interests me. ”

"Trust me, Hogwarts has more than enough mystical knowledge. ”

Dumbledore then chatted with Ethan in the same way that a headmaster cared about an ordinary student, and after a brief conversation, Dumbledore let Ethan leave.

Up to this point, Snape was still a little confused, he was a little confused, he didn't understand what was going on.

"Just let him go? ...... of his identity with the children."

"Their identity is not a problem, Severus. ”

Dumbledore withdrew his gaze from the door and turned to Snape.

"This kid ...... No, this man is not our enemy. ”

"But their identity ......"

"He didn't deliberately hide it at all, that's what you judged before. ”

As a good spy, Snape certainly knew how to hide himself in the enemy camp, and today Ethan would be asked to talk alone, but Snape sensed that something was wrong with Ethan.

At first, he thought it was because Ethan was young and couldn't hide his ability to hide that he would find out about the abnormality. Later, he felt that Ethan didn't want to hide it at all.

In other words, Ethan didn't care that his 'true identity' was discovered by Snape or Dumbledore.

"Since he didn't think about hiding, shouldn't he ask clearly?"

Snape couldn't figure out this, and Dumbledore let Ethan leave without even asking.

"Is Ethan's identity really that important to us? we just need to make sure he's not a Death Eater. ”

"But that's not sure yet. ”

"I'm pretty sure. ”

Dumbledore secretly cast several silent spells to test Ethan, but these spells were like a stone in the sea, and there was no reaction - it was not impossible to break his spell or take his spell, although Dumbledore was strong, he was not arrogant enough to think that he was invincible.

But wanting to crack it as easily as Ethan, without even revealing the slightest fluctuation of magic power, Snape, who was standing next to him, couldn't find out the extent to which Ethan had cast magic......

What's more, since Ethan came in, Phoenix Fawkes hasn't shown his head, and has passed on the emotion of 'fear' to him, which reminds him of the three-headed dog Lu Wei who was in charge of guarding the Philosopher's Stone last year.

At the time, he thought that Lu Wei had fallen asleep, but later he realized that something was wrong and thought that Quirrell had done something.

Now it seems that Lu Wei was frightened by Ethan at that time!

The combination of these circumstances made Dumbledore decide: since Ethan had no ill will towards them, and just wanted to experience house life at Hogwarts, then he should treat Ethan as an ordinary student.

And Ethan, who could continue to enjoy the life of the academy, returned to the secret room at this time, and his purpose was naturally the basilisk...... of meat.
