Chapter 55: Dumbledore, this is a society that speaks of law
Harry had planned to go to Professor Dumbledore early the next morning.
As for how she learned about the diary, she also decided to have a partly confession.
Anyway, it was the house-elf of Lucius Malfoy's family, so he could have said that the channel for getting information was eavesdropping on Malfoy's speech.
As for Professor Dumbledore's believe it or not, that's his question. Harley can't admit that she robbed someone else's house-elf.
However, Professor Dumbledore did not show up at the professorship's chair in the morning or noon, and did not appear until the evening.
After dinner, Hallie found an excuse to sneak out of the auditorium and head to the principal's office.
She had already learned the password from Professor Dumbledore's office from Nick in advance.
Harley approached a huge, ugly stone monster and whispered, "Cockroach pile." ”
But the stone monster ignored her, and still stopped where it was, motionless.
Harley couldn't help but knock her head, it was miserable.
When she asks Nick for the password, Nick assures her that Professor McGonagall had just used it to enter the Headmaster's office three days earlier.
I didn't expect Headmaster Dumbledore to change the password so quickly, it's really bad luck.
Harley hesitated in place for a moment, then held out her left hand. That hand had been wearing a white glove.
"Twisted." Harley whispered, pouring spirit into the glove.
But it was useless, and in that moment, Harley felt like she was fighting against some kind of extremely powerful force in the whole world.
However, this confrontation only appeared for a moment before disappearing.
Harley thought her ability had taken effect, but she soon found that the wall behind the stone monster had cracked in half.
Behind the wall is a movable spiral staircase, and in front of it stands an old man.
It was Dumbledore.
"It's an interesting magical item that can compete with my magic for a short time," Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry through his glasses,
"Did you put the Confusion Charm on your gloves? No, it's more than that.
The glove also contains a spell that constrains the Confusion Charm, ensuring that the subject of the Confusion Charm is confused in the direction that the caster intended.
It's not easy! Most people who use confusion spells can only ensure that the other party is confused, but they can't confuse them in the direction they want.
If I'm not mistaken, this is close to the realm of some forbidden magic. ”
As he said this, Professor Dumbledore's expression was unusually serious.
Harry sighed secretly in her heart, worthy of the powerful Professor Dumbledore, and analyzed the general ability of the glove in an instant.
"This glove is really interesting," Harley thought in her heart, but her face did not change,
"I found it in the deepest part of our family's vault and found it useful, so I took it out."
Professor Dumbledore bowed slightly, "The Potter family is a family with a long heritage, and I'm not surprised to have such a precious magical item.
But I hope you'll put them to good use, and don't use the powers of these magical items to do things that are forbidden by law. ”
Hallie nodded indifferently, anyway, as long as what she did was not discovered, it was equivalent to doing nothing.
In this respect, Harley, who has been in the upper echelons of multiple kingdoms such as Rune and Intis, can be said to be very good at playing.
"Let's go, I think you came to me for something. Let's go to the office. With that, Professor Dumbledore stepped up the stairs.
After Harry followed Professor Dumbledore up the stairs, he didn't see Dumbledore make any moves, and the stairs began to spin in circles, rising higher and higher.
Finally, the staircase stops in front of a large door with a brass knocker.
Everything in the office was exactly the same as the last time Hallie had been here, with familiar bookshelves, strange silverware, and portraits of the old headmasters.
"Hello, Sorting Hat." Hallie greeted the hat, "Long time no see." ”
"yes, long time no see." The Sorting Hat crooked its tip.
Professor Dumbledore sat down behind the desk, and with a flick of his wand, a chair appeared out of thin air.
"Sit down, Hallie." Professor Dumbledore whispered, "Drink something?" Black tea or milk? I recommend a glass of milk before bed. ”
"Then thank you, Professor."
After taking a sip of the milk in front of him, Professor Dumbledore looked at Harley with blue eyes:
"So Harley, what are you here for today?"
"Professor, I think I've discovered the true nature of the Slytherin heir." Hallie didn't hesitate.
"Oh? What is it? Professor Dumbledore interlocked his fingers with an intrigued expression.
The old principals who were pretending to be asleep on the wall also stopped snoring and quietly pricked up their ears.
"It's a journal from Voldemort, a journal with a black cover and a communicative journal." Hallie whispered,
"I overheard Draco Malfoy saying that his father had dropped this dark magic object into Hogwarts.
According to Voldemort back then, and this diary is the key to opening the Chamber of Secrets. ”
"That's right." Professor Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Thank you very much, Miss Hallie.
In fact, I still have a lot of details that I want to know. However, our conversation may have been postponed a little because of the arrival of new guests. ”
As he spoke, Professor Dumbledore waved his hand slightly, and the door to the Headmaster's office opened.
In that moment, Harley also carried the bench to the wall and blended into the shadows in the corner.
Professor McGonagall walked in, followed by two men.
Hallie knew these two men, Lucius Malfoy and Cornelius Fudge.
Fudge wears the pinstriped suit he often wears when he appears in the newspapers, and he also wears a black cape.
At this time, he was constantly wiping his sweat, obviously just made some difficult decision.
Lucius had a malicious smile on his face, but it was a little deliberate.
"Albus, Minister Fudge and Mr. Malfoy want to see you." Professor McGonagall said unemotionally.
She was keenly aware of Hallie in the corner, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she didn't ask why Hallie was here, but said expressionlessly, "You talk first, I'll leave first." ”
"Of course, Minerva, and I wish you a good night's sleep." Professor Dumbledore smiled and turned his gaze to the visitor,
"Well, Connelly, and Lucius, it's rare for the two of you to come together."
"Oh, actually, I don't want to." Minister Fudge wiped his sweat again, and his voice trembled slightly,
"But you know, Albus, there's been a lot of attacks in the intervening years, and there's a pure-blood......
You know, I mean, the Higgs kid, he was attacked as well......"
At this, Lucius let out a sneer.
“…… The attack was already a very serious incident, and it was the secret room that was reopened, and now there are purebloods attacked.
Honestly, Albus, you stay in school every day and don't go out, and you have no idea how much pressure I've been under lately.
In addition, there is a wizard with a lot of influence who has sent a report letter to the Daily Prophet and the Ministry of Magic at the same time, and that one has a criminal record, so we must arrest him. ”
Fudge spoke very quickly, and was not willing to give Dumbledore time to interject.
"I understand what you mean, Connelly." There was no joy or sorrow in Dumbledore's voice,
"But you also know that I've always stood by what I've seen in the past, and I trust Hagrid completely."
The expression on Fudge's face was unnatural: "But Hagrid's track record is not in his favor."
You know, Albus, the situation is urgent, and the Ministry of Magic has to do something about it. ”
"Connelly, I'm going to repeat it again," anger appeared in Dumbledore's blue eyes,
"I trust Hagrid, and it's not going to help you take Hagrid away."
"Huh!" Lucius suddenly interjected, "Then I have to remind you, Headmaster Dumbledore, that the wizarding world is a law-abiding society.
We have evidence that after the student died, Hagrid let a monster go.
And now he doesn't want to explain what the monster he let go, then we can only think that he instructed the monster in the secret room to kill someone.
If you disagree, please present evidence.
It's not that you rely on your identity to repeat that you trust Hagrid to get away with him.
Headmaster Dumbledore, this is a society that speaks of law, and the law is on our side! ”
