Professor McGonagall was eventually persuaded by Dumbledore.

After she left the office, Mrs. Weasley began to inquire about the details of the incident.

"Hagrid's rooster was killed, and I suspect I did it, but I don't know...... I...... I don't have a memory, but there is chicken blood and chicken feathers on the clothes......"

Ginny threw herself into Mrs. Weasley's arms and began to cry.

"Yes Li...... Riddle forced me, he ...... He controlled me. ”

"Who? Who is Riddle? How did you end up with that villain named Riddle, dear! ”

Mrs. Weasley patted Ginny on the back in distress.

Dumbledore said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I only found out about this after I asked Miss Weasley. It was an old diary, belonging to Tom Riddle, and Miss Weasley was bewitched by him. ”

"Diary?" Mrs. Weasley glared at Ginny, "What's the matter with you, Ginny?" ”

Ginny sobbed a few times and said in a hoarse voice, "I've been writing on that journal ever since I got it." For two months, he ...... Tom Riddle kept writing me back......"

"Remarkable," Dumbledore whispered, "Riddle is probably the best student Hogwarts has ever seen. ”

He explained to the bewildered crowd: "Very few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle. ”

"Oh! O Merlin! ”

Mrs. Weasley let out a scream when she heard the forbidden name, and hugged Ginny tightly in her arms.

Dumbledore continued, "Fifty years ago, at Hogwarts, I taught him myself, Tom Riddle. ”

Later, he disappeared after leaving school...... Traveling all over the world, footprints all over the world......"

"He's sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of dark magic, mingling with the most evil in the wizarding world, and going through many dangerous magical transformations."

"When he finally reappeared as Voldemort, it was hard for people to recognize him."

"Hardly anyone associated Voldemort with the smart, handsome boys' student council president who had studied here."

Hearing Dumbledore say this, everyone in the office was stunned.

Before that, no one except Scott, who knew about it, had linked the matter to Voldemort, the terrible Dark Lord.

"Ginny!"

Mr. Weasley couldn't help but break the silence.

His face turned a little pale, he gasped loudly, and said to his little daughter seriously, "Didn't I teach you?" What do I usually tell you? ”

Ginny raised her flushed face and replied in a choked voice, "Forever...... Never trust...... Anything that is capable of thinking for itself...... Except...... Unless you see clearly...... It...... Where does it hide its mind......"

"So you remember?" Mr. Weasley continued to criticize her, "Then why didn't you show us or the professor the diary in the first place?" You must know that something suspicious like that is usually a black magic prop! ”

At this moment, Scott heard the twins, who had recovered from Voldemort's news, bite their ears again.

"It's a rare thing, it's the first time I've seen my dad seriously criticizing Ginny." Fred's tone was tinged with surprise.

"And mom didn't stop him." "They're obviously angry. ”

"I ...... I don't know ......."

They heard Ginny crying.

Her voice trembled, clearly frightened.

"I found that diary in a book my mom gave me. I...... I thought someone had caught it in and forgot about ......"

At this moment, the twins suddenly rolled their eyes, looked at each other, and asked in unison, "Ginny, which book is it?" ”

Ginny turned her head away, ignoring them.

"Is it your Transfiguration textbook?" The twins asked again.

Ginny looked at them in immediate amazement.

"Old Malfoy did it!" George jerked up and said to Mr. Weasley, "Daddy! When you and Malfoy Sr. were fighting at the Blotted bookstore before school started! ”

"What?" Mr. Weasley looked dumbfounded.

"Think about why you're fighting, Dad!"

Fred also stood up angrily.

"It was Malfoy Sr. who took the old book, The Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, from Ginny's cauldron! We remember! He must have stuffed the diary into that book! ”

Mr. Weasley recalled the scene and immediately blushed with anger.

He immediately turned and walked towards the fireplace, "Vicious rotten man! Lackeys of the mystery man! I'm going to duel him! ”

"No, Arthur!" Mrs. Weasley hurriedly grabbed him, "You can't go!" ”

Mr. Weasley roared, "That bastard almost killed our daughter!" ”

"We've got your back, Dad!"

"Go ahead!"

The twins raised their fists and waved.

"We're going to a duel too!"

"And Malfoy Jr., Malfoy's precious son!"

"You two!"

Mrs. Weasley turned her head and stared at the twins with a murderous look.

"Oh, Dad, you really shouldn't be so impulsive."

Fred sat down immediately.

"That's right." George also sat down, and he nodded solemnly, "This time Ginny's incident is because you and old Malfoy fought, you should reflect on it." ”

Maybe the two sons' tricks calmed Mr. Weasley a bit.

He stopped at the Weasley woman's strength, but his face remained ugly.

Just then, the office door was pushed open again, and a sleepy-eyed Potter walked in behind Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall must have explained something to him on the way, so he immediately looked at Scott with an accusatory look after smiling shyly at the Weasleys.

Scott felt indifferent and gave him a perfect smile and a nod.

Potter immediately looked deflated.

Dumbledore glanced up at the sky outside the window, "It's too late, we have to deal with that trouble before the students get up at dawn." ”

He said to Potter, "Harry, would you like to help?" This may be something that only you can do. ”

"Oh, of course!" Potter immediately said, "Of course I'm willing to help you, Professor. ”

He hesitated, "But I don't know what's going on, what should I do......"

"Come with me, Harry." Dumbledore walked straight outside, "Of course, I'll explain everything to you on the way. ”

"Okay, Professor."

Potter glanced at Scott again, and reluctantly followed.

The twins were a little bit on the move.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Mrs. Weasley's "radar" was particularly sensitive, and she immediately glared at them again.

"Okay, Mom."

The twins listlessly agreed.

Professor McGonagall also said to the three of them, "You are not allowed to go anywhere until Professor Dumbledore settles this matter." Including you, Scott. ”

"Of course."

Scott agreed, very simply.

He did everything possible to get Dumbledore to solve this trouble in advance, how could he go to the death to join in the fun!

Fred asked curiously, "Ginny, did you give Dumbledore the diary?" ”

"Don't ask that, Fred!" Mrs. Weasley said sensitively, "It's none of your business!" ”

Fred threw his hands up in surrender.

"Honey?" Mrs. Weasley looked at Ginny inquiringly.

"Professor Dumbledore, of course." Ginny couldn't help but glare at Fred, "After I said that, Professor Dumbledore asked the house-elves to go to the dormitory and bring the diary to the Headmaster's office. ”

Mrs. Weasley immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good, there's no safer place than there!" ”
