"Fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened once. Rubeus Hagrid was crudely identified as the murderer. Although the suspicion was dismissed, he was also expelled from Hogwarts and broke his wand. ”

"But now there is enough evidence to prove that the murderer who opened the secret room is someone else. Hagrid, on the other hand, was innocent. ”

Dumbledore's gaze circled the conference room, resting on Hagrid, who had a dull expression.

"Bang bang."

Dumbledore was the first to applaud, and the room burst into applause.

Hagrid's dull expression turned to joy, and his beard couldn't hide his smile. Calvin only saw Hagrid smiling so happily on the day Noble was born.

"Thank you, thank you, Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid wiped his tears with his coarse cloth clothes.

-----------------

After the meeting, Dumbledore, Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Calvin entered the chamber.

Except for Calvin, the rest of the people are here for the first time. Dumbledore and Snape were calm in the face of this magnificent underground lair, and Professors McGonagall and Flitwick could not help but let out some exclamations.

"Who would have thought that there really was a cobweb-like chamber beneath the castle," Professor Flitwick's steps were no longer stiff, "I always thought that Slytherin's chamber was a legend. ”

The five men stood beside the basilisk's broken corpse, black blood long dried under their feet, and the smell of fish permeated the entire chamber. Professor Flitwick, who had a slight habit of cleanliness, had to apply a bubble head charm to himself.

Snape had a rare look of heartache on his face after examining the section of the basilisk's corpse, and then stared at Calvin viciously.

"Basilisk blood... It's basically gone... Capet, look at the good things you've done. ”

Calvin stood in front of the snake face and looked at the empty two eye sockets, and said without looking back: "If you want snake blood, kill it yourself." ”

Snape stopped talking, just snorted, lowered his head and began to collect the snake's blood, which had not yet drained.

"Remember to give me the money." Calvin squinted at Snape.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I believe that the body of the basilisk is the property of the school, and this scarce resource should be distributed by the school uniformly."

"The body of the basilisk is indeed considered the property of the school, but in terms of distribution, Professor Cape's opinion should still be respected." Dumbledore was going to make peace with the mud.

Calvin smiled at Snape: "I don't want much, 50% is fine, and the three children should also have 30%. The rest is up to Headmaster Dumbledore to decide. ”

"Fifty percent," Snape narrowed, "and your appetite is a little too big." And the three kids, I don't think they need the basilisk material...... Such an assignment is child's play, you say, Professor Dumbledore? ”

"I need half of the material because I'm going to heal Ginny, and as for Harry, it's a reward for their bravery."

"Hmm..."

"Wait," Professor McGonagall said before Dumbledore, "Ginny! What's wrong with her, why research the basilisk to heal her. And Harry, what 'heroic' did he do? ”

"It was nothing but a reckless and arrogant adventure," Snape said with a gloomy pity, "challenging Lockhart, almost losing all his memories, and trying to catch the basilisk himself...... Stupid lion. ”

Calvin said, "Snape, I must remind you that Draco is also involved in this so-called reckless and arrogant adventure. ”

"Harry, Ron, and Draco are all young wizards who have made their own contributions to this crisis, and without their actions, it's hard to say what kind of mood we would be in today. They deserve a special contribution award. ”

Dumbledore ended up characterizing the actions of the three young wizards.

Snape and Calvin shut their mouths and began to gather the materials they needed.

Snake venom, snake skin, blood, scales, fangs, in Calvin's opinion, are all materials worth studying.

Dumbledore told McGonagall and Flitwick in detail about the two days. Professor McGonagall then made her own proposal.

"Albus, I think we should publicize what happened to this matter, so that no rumors will spread outside. Of course, there are some things that should be hidden, such as the basilisk blood on Ginny's body. ”

"And I'm petrified, it's better to delete the part about..."Professor Flitwick felt that it was a shame for himself to be petrified as a duel champion.

"Minerva, I have the same idea, but not now......"

"Why?"

"Lucius Malfoy, who knew about it almost at the same time as the attack, wanted to use it against me...... He seems to want to get me out of Hogwarts through this. Dumbledore said noncommittally.

"How dare he?" Professor McGonagall didn't know where Lucius got his courage.

"Minerva, it's not that simple," Flitwick quickly grasped the crux of the matter, "Lucius, he knew about it almost at the same time as the attack. ”

Flitwick repeated the phrase vigorously.

"Albus, you mean, Lucius might have a connection to the mysterious man?" Professor McGonagall was aware of this.

"I didn't say that......"

"Dumbledore, what are we supposed to do?"

"Just have to wait." Dumbledore turned his head and glanced at Calvin meaningfully.

Calvin heard what they were saying and smiled back at Dumbledore.

-----------------

On the last day of the Halloween holiday, Lucius saw a Hogwarts announcement of the attack in the Daily Prophet: the Death Eaters manipulated the students into opening the school's secret room, but fortunately no one died.

"The Chamber of Secrets..."

Lucius remembered the school legend that had been circulating since he was in school, but he seemed to have read it in a book at home.

He came and walked up the stairs to the door of the small study on the third basement floor.

However, when he opened the door, he found that the light in the study was on. On the chair, which was never touched, sat a young man with black hair and a red boy, reading a book with relish.

"Ah, here you are, Lucius." Calvin glanced up at Lucius, then continued to look at the book, "I guessed you're coming here today, so I'll come and wait for you early." ”

"Mr. Cape," Lucius calmed down from shock and fear, "you came too suddenly. ”

"It's hard to say if your estate is being monitored by Voldemort, and the more evidence you have left, the more likely it is that he will find out." Calvin closed the book and motioned for Lucius to sit down.

Lucius saw what Calvin was reading: "Secrets of Glory." He also came for this book.
