The magic sharp-billed gargoyle at the door of the principal's office obviously recognized people, and the principal didn't need a password at all when he came, so he just gave way. It's like the doorman of those government agencies~

Standing on the spiral elevator, Ted followed Dumbledore to the Headmaster's office.

The office is at the top of the main tower, so the space is round.

On the right there is an upward staircase, and one level further up is the principal's bedroom.

The walls around the rotunda are covered with portraits of the old headmasters.

At this time, it is not early, so they are all snoring and blowing snot bubbles in the photo frame.

However, Ted noticed that there were also a few people who raised their eyelids and secretly looked at them, probably alert people before they died.

But come to think of it, do portraits still need to sleep? Or is it just imitating habits that were injected during life/painting?

Although these portraits can only move their mouths, after all, they are all hung on the wall, but if you really underestimate them, you will be wrong.

They are now part of the castle and serve the school and the current headmaster.

They can't jump out of the portrait and cast magic, but they are free to sway through all of their portraits.

In other words, two paintings of the same person can actually be seen as a whole.

These headmasters were decent people with high social status, and they still had portraits of themselves in all corners of the wizarding world, and those frames were their eyes and ears.

Like St. Mungo's Hospital, the Ministry of Magic, the old pure-bloods...... For example, Sirius's great-great-grandfather, Phineas Nigelus, the headmaster of more than a hundred years ago, had a painting in the old Black family's mansion.

The well-defended Black Mansion is not something that Voldemort can break through even if he wants to invade. But Phineas Nigelus on the wall was able to move freely, to watch, and to speak.

And on this wall, there are dozens of portraits of the principal!

The left-hand wall was filled with curved bookshelves, and Ted couldn't help but take a few more looks. After all, the magic book that can be placed in the principal's office is definitely not ordinary.

Suddenly, he found a familiar book - "Cutting-edge Dark Arts Revealed", which was the one that recorded the information about the Horcrux. It's already been taken here by Dumbledore, so efficient?!

As a psychic mancer, Ted perfectly controlled his expression and eyes, and sat down at his desk as if he had never seen the forbidden book.

The large desk with a curved top, with six slender legs, is actually carved to look like the claws of a beast at the bottom. I'm worried that it will run away suddenly.

The table is filled with all kinds of strange silverware, and you can feel different magic, which should all have different functions.

And on the cabinet on the right-hand side, there is the Sorting Hat.

"Hey, Ted Imp, good evening~" The Sorting Hat saw an acquaintance and couldn't wait to say hello.

"Good evening, Mr. Hat." Ted's head was empty, but he also made a hat salute gesture, which caused the school hat to laugh, and several headmasters were woken up laughing.

"Sit down, Ted, don't be nervous, I just want to know what happened to you in the Chamber of Secrets." Dumbledore sat down in his chair.

Ted thanked him and sat down, looking at Phoenix Fawkes with his eyes closed and pretending to sleep on the bronze shelf on the table.

In the wizarding world, there is also such a thing as bloodline, such as Deng Weiduo, who is born with the physique to attract phoenixes, do you say that people are not angry?

"Would you like something for dessert?" Dumbledore unleashed a large plate of swarthy, still crawling things.

"Cockroach pile, Duke Honey's new product, it's very interesting!" Dumbledore highly recommends.

Ted smiled and grabbed two of them and put them in his mouth, and chewed them on a clatter, and the candy cockroach was still struggling in his mouth as if it were alive, and then it was bitten with syrup. The taste is really good, but the taste is weird.

"Hmm~ It's really interesting, but I'm not very sweet and easy to hurt my teeth." Ted laughed.

In fact, it was Dumbledore's habit to invite guests to dessert, but he generally did not invite cockroach heaps, after all, normal people would think that this thing was abnormal.

And the reason why he took out the cockroach pile was because of Dumbledore's bad taste on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of it to see the other party's reaction, if it could make the guest's mentality fluctuate, then for him, the master of the dementor, the next communication would be simple.

This is also the reason why Snape never eats or drinks anything every time he comes to the headmaster's office, and he is on guard the whole time.

To be honest, Dumbledore trusted Snape a lot, but Snape didn't trust Dumbledore very much.

In his opinion, after he did not hesitate to betray Voldemort to deliver the message to Dumbledore, he should have done something.

The result?

The Longbottoms are dead!

Well, to die is to die, and to be unfamiliar with yourself.

But what about Lily after that? Dumbledore could have done something!

For this centenarian who defeated the first Dark Lord, the greatest white wizard of the century, Snape had a lot of bitterness in his heart.

If a person can sacrifice himself for something in his heart, then there is a high probability that he will not refuse to sacrifice others.

You can see that benevolence is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not financial management, and the superior has his own considerations.

But Snape didn't care about that, all he knew was that Lily was dead.

……

Ted's performance was perfect, without the slightest flaw, and Dumbledore even felt that his attitude was impeccable, in a way more difficult than Snape's.

Because Snape would still be angry at Hallie, and laughed at the little wizards for their stupidity. But at this time, Ted is very bland, so bland that people can't feel emotions.

"Headmaster, you ask." He said.

Dumbledore nodded slowly: "If you don't mind, just start from the beginning......"

Ted nodded in acknowledgment and began to speak from Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy, the first Diagon Alley Iron Fist Tournament in the bookstore......

Ted talked for a long time, and it can be said that everything is detailed and knowing.

"And just like that, I pierced Tom's journal with the Gryffindor sword."

Ted pulled out the diary with the extra hole in the middle from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Dumbledore's expression became slightly serious, and he pulled out what looked like a magnifying glass from the drawer, and approached to examine the discarded journal carefully, bit by bit.

Originally, it was just an ordinary material, but because of the powerful black magic attached for a long time, it has become a dangerous and cutting-edge magic item, but now it is ruined.

But even if it is destroyed, it is still filled with a lot of dark and chaotic magic.

If you are a sensitive wizard, you will feel a strong uneasiness in front of your diary.

Not when the diary is intact, because then it is restrained.

Now that it's ruined, the remnants of the magic are gone.

When Dumbledore opened the journal and saw the name on it: Tom Marvolo Riddle, his expression was in a trance.

"It's dangerous! It's dangerous! Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and said in quick succession that the two were dangerous, "Ted, you're doing a great job. Even a lot of adult wizards can't do it better than you. ”

Dumbledore looked at Ted - it was so good, it was better than expected.

Fifty years ago, Tom in the second grade wouldn't have been able to do this, could he?

Ted nodded calmly: "You won the prize, we just did our best, thanks to the sword of Gryffindor, we can win." At that time, I was only thinking about saving Malfoy, and I didn't think too much about it. If it weren't for Fox, Ron was ...... We're still too careless! ”

Previously, Ted had been worried that he was too much and would remind the principal of Tom.

When the time comes, I will say to myself: Ted, you are too dangerous, I must seal you! (Looking at the nine-tailed face between the thousand-handed pillars)

That's bad luck!

In fact, last year's incident of defending the Philosopher's Stone had already made Dumbledore notice him.

At the beginning of his second year, Dumbledore began to pay attention to Ted and his friends.

If it weren't for the sudden occurrence of the secret room incident, Dumbledore would probably have to write a script to arrange for Ted and them.

It's that kind of trial, what sees your true nature, what leads you to the right path.

It's a pity that the secret room incident directly made Lao Deng disgraced, and Lucius also beat the snake and hit seven inches, and directly pressed Lao Deng's position as the principal temporarily......
