"What are your plans, tell me about ......"

Dumbledore looked tired, looked at the young man in front of him, and said helplessly.

Luke didn't care about Dumbledore's distress, shook his head and said, "Professor, it's hard to say, isn't it......"

"After all, there are some schemings of my own in this matter."

Luke's attitude was quite frank, so frank that it made Dumbledore feel a little helpless.

Dumbledore didn't reproach too much, but closed his eyes a little tiredly.

Long...... He spoke, "Luke, do you know why Hagrid was expelled? ”

Faced with this question, Luke pretended to be thoughtful and said seriously: "Probably ...... What kind of dangerous magical beasts are kept in the castle? And according to what I found in the Forbidden Forest, it should be the eight-eyed giant spider. ”

According to normal thinking, raising such a thing in school, it is really not a problem to be expelled at all. And Hagrid is still able to live at Hogwarts, so it must be because this incident has not had any serious or even irreversible consequences.

The candlelight illuminated Luke's forehead, hiding his face in the darkness.

Of course, Luke knows the truth. It's just that he shouldn't know now.

"At the school that year, there was a girl who died in the bathroom. According to the investigation, it was a dangerous magical creature who did it. At that time, the man of the year in the school was Tom. Later in our investigation, we found Hagrid. And his eight-eyed spider. Because there were no other clues, this matter was settled. ”

A look of remembrance on Dumbledore's face revealed, "I was under pressure to inform the school and the Ministry of Magic that Hagrid must be innocent. I believe in him. ”

Luke couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

That's not how it works.

You can trust Hagrid's bottom line and character, but that doesn't mean you can trust his magical animals. The overall strength of Fantastic Beasts is above the wizarding community. Of course, they are certainly not as intelligent as wizards.

A normal adult wizard will have a hard time parrying against a level 4x magical beast. Even some 3x-level magical beasts are still difficult to deal with.

Not to mention the 5x level of danger.

Wild and untamable magical beasts, except for people like Hagrid, Luke, and Newt, anyone who approaches them will inevitably be in danger.

Hagrid probably didn't hurt the crying myrtle. But it's just that it didn't hurt the crying myrtle.

If events are allowed to develop, then it can only be said that it is only a matter of time before something happens.

The Eight-Eyed Spider is not a good person. Although the strength is not strong among magical beasts of the same level of danger. But when you do it with the little wizards, you can easily open the matchless.

Hagrid's innocence can only be said to be good luck enough. Or maybe the luck of Hagrid's friends.

Dumbledore, caught in the whirlpool of his own memories, didn't pay attention to the slightly strange look on Luke's face. Instead, he continued: "Back then, I suspected that Tom had done it. But we don't have any evidence, and we can't find any clues. So, the only way to do this is to keep Hagrid as safe as possible and keep Tom ...... Alas......"

Of course, they are vigilant, but the results of their vigilance have also been seen by everyone, and the biggest result is that there is no result at all.

Tom still became Voldemort. And they don't know where he learned those mysterious and high-end magical knowledge.

Dumbledore wasn't unsuspicious of the Chamber of Secrets. After all, this is where the most famous heritage is located, and in a sense, it can be regarded as the only place where the heritage is located in the open place.

But he never found the place where the heritage resided.

Dumbledore was well aware of his frustration and predicament, as if he also knew that there must be a legacy of one of the Big Four in the Room of Requirement, but it wasn't until Luke's appearance last year that he knew it was Ravenclaw's legacy, and he still couldn't find any signs of Ravenclaw.

When the Big Four have the intention to hide, even if they are each other, it is difficult to find what the other is hiding.

"Don't worry about it, Professor."

Luke said in a surging tone, "You have to understand that if there are some things, they are destined to be difficult to change. ”

He had never looked down on the so-called prophecy, because he had never heard of anyone who had predicted that there would be a Voldemort who would come out and wreak havoc on the entire British wizarding world.

And when Voldemort imposed a high-pressure rule, various so-called prophecies began to circulate in the wizarding world.

It's hard to say if this thing is so-called pragmatism.

"Luke, I'm afraid your wish is going to be frustrated."

Dumbledore put the eye on the table back to the bridge of his nose and said helplessly, "Voldemort has always been very intelligent and extremely gifted in learning magic, I never deny that. ”

"But you also know that not everything is taught in schools. Even in the forbidden book area, there are some things that are only briefly introduced, but there is no way to practice. I used to wonder where his special magic came from. Where did that special, powerful way of powering yourself come from? ”

He looked at Luke deeply, and said with some regret: "Now it seems that he should have become the successor of the so-called secret room more than ten years ago. I know you want to enter the Chamber of Secrets too. But now, I'm afraid that the secret room has been emptied by him. ”

"At the time, although he was not from the Gaunt family. But it is also the only remaining bloodline of the Gaunt family. It is also normal to be able to get Slytherin's approval. ”

After so many years, Dumbledore finally knew why Voldemort was so powerful. It can't be said that it is a matter of mind. But it can indeed be regarded as an answer to the doubts in my heart for many years.

However, Luke looked up, and Dumbledore saw the sarcastic curvature at the corner of his mouth.

"Professor, you think too highly of Tom."

Luke's tone was slightly cold: "He's a half-blood, how can he really get Slytherin's inheritance?" Slytherin paid attention to talent, and the reason why he insisted on the theory of descent back then was because pure-blooded, especially young wizards from aristocratic families, were often more talented, even superior. ”

"Slytherin's claims have been misinterpreted for quite some time. But inheritance is another matter entirely. ”

Speaking of this, Luke suddenly stopped his voice, glanced at Dumbledore, and took in the sad and regretful look, and his eyes were rounded, and he could be regarded as coming back to his senses.

"Hah...... Professor, is that what I say? ”

Luke shook his head helplessly, then turned around and walked away.

"Don't forget what you promised me!"

Dumbledore tapped lightly on the table, smiling in his tone.

In front of the moonlit door, Luke waved his hand unconcernedly, indicating that he had not forgotten the incident.

"Kada."

The door slammed shut, and Dumbledore's expression sank again.

Voldemort was not a pure-hearted wizard back then. Although Luke is not very close to the so-called pure heart. But Luke hasn't changed badly, and he's still a good kid on the whole, and that doesn't change because of his position.

Back then, when Voldemort was in school, he was the same person as Luke. The professors were full of praise. The students loved it. And at that time, although his strength was almost invincible among his peers. But in the end, it's just compared to his peers.

His magic also progresses as his body develops. After all, there is no one like Luke, from a magical point of view, he can't even think of this as a normal person.

However, in the future, Voldemort also had magic powers far beyond ordinary people. His magic seemed to come out of nowhere. And what changed with it was that face that was originally as bright as gold and with sword eyebrows.

Is Luke also after power? So...... What is the way to gain power in Slytherin's first birth?

But after thinking for a moment, Dumbledore patted his head with three points of annoyance.

Really......

"Isn't this guy already gaining great magical powers? Was it the Gaunts who improved the Slytherin's secret method? Or is it because, as Luke said, what Tom learned back then was nothing more than half-baked? ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Dumbledore stopped thinking about it. This kind of thing, it's better to leave it to Luke to worry about himself. Don't worry about him.

Then, Dumbledore closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"If you want to catch the murderer, you can't lock the murderer up."

……………………

The suggestion to suspend classes was finally decided by Dumbledore and he chose a compromise solution.

As soon as the next attack occurs, classes will be suspended at the beginning. And until then, it's business as usual.

Early in the morning, when Ms. McGonagall heard the news, she felt her heart 'soar', and anger gushed out.

"Is this a joke?!"

She was so angry that she slapped the table. But he didn't get up and question Dumbledore.

She knew exactly what Dumbledore meant. Even when he knew that this dangerous magical beast was a basilisk, he still chose to attend class normally.

Because he's going to let that murderer appear.

But in this way, it is completely risking the lives of students.

Could it be said that this was a sign that Dumbledore trusted Luke?

How could Luke bear such a heavy burden!

Professor McGonagall had a lot of complaints in her mind. But when these complaints came to his throat, they all turned into a long sigh.

The safety of the students is indeed important, but if the thorn cannot be pulled out in pain, then the conductor will let the thorn hurt even deeper.

There was nothing too much of a problem with Dumbledore's choice. Antithesis. Her proposal, on the contrary, has a feeling that the murderer is at large.

But in this way, the pressure on Luke is not ordinary.

With that in mind, Professor McGonagall took out the quill from the inkwell, pulled a piece of paper, and began to write on it.

Snape, on the other hand, was not surprised at all when he learned the news.

After all, neither he nor Professor McGonagall had any objection to Lockhart's intention to continue the class in front of all the students last night.

They all know that suspending classes is the next step. Just a little better than dismissing students.

Seriously, a basilisk. It's not like they're not too protective of the students.

But...... Students' actions still need to be restrained. Can't let them run around like normal.

After breakfast, when the students arrived at their classrooms, they saw white sheets of paper on the blackboards in each classroom.

"From today, students will return to their dormitories immediately after eating. Recess is not allowed outside the classroom. A minimum of three students are required to travel with them to the bathroom......"

Looking at the rules, one by one, Ron felt his scalp tingle.

The good old days seem to be completely over.

"Are we at Hogwarts? I dare say that Azkaban is not so strict either. ”

He complained in an exaggerated tone.

But before Harry could reply to him, he heard a gloomy and cold voice in his ear: "Of course there are no such high requirements. ”

Ron shuddered, then turned his head, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "S, Professor Snape." ”

Snape looked at Ron coldly, and said in a scathing tone, "I'm Snape, not Snape." ”

"Sorry professor!"

Ron apologized loudly.

But even so, Snape didn't want to let him go: "Azkaban certainly didn't have the same strict discipline as Hogwarts now. Because Azkaban only needs you to do it well in your cell. For the rest, the Dementors will take care of it for you. There is no need to be controlled by us professors as we are now. ”

"How? Mr. Wesley, do you want me to help you find a quiet cell in Azkaban? I'm not a big deal, but if you want, it's okay to send you to prison to experience life. ”

Snape's voice was cold, not fake. Hearing this, Ron was in a cold sweat behind him. Although he knew that Snape would not have been able to do such a thing. But now he still shook his head desperately.

"I'm sorry, Professor. I was really wrong. ”

Looking at Ron's low-brow and pleasing appearance, Malfoy on the side couldn't help but laugh. But in the next moment, like a goose that had been choked by the neck, it made a dry and ugly sound.

"Hold back your laughter, Mr. Malfoy."

Snape also looked at Malfoy in front of him coldly: "If you violate any of the above. I think I can give you the same treatment as Mr. Wesley. ”

Malfoy didn't dare to talk back to Snape. Although he is very proud of his family's background. But it's really unwise to stand up to the dean at school.

"Potter...... You'd better be honest and obedient as well. It's a terrible thing......"

His tone remained the same. But I don't know if it's a delusion, Harry seems to hear a little concern?
