Voldemort in his youth, and the diary containing his sixteen-year-old soul...... There was so much information that Professor McGonagall had to take a break.

"But I want to know what happened." Dumbledore looked at the basilisk next to Kyle.

As if sensing some kind of deadly threat, the basilisk bared its long fangs and instinctively wanted to open its eyes......

Kyle lifted his hand, and the wheel was rounded and it was slapped in the head.

You basilisk, you don't want to die when you open your eyes in front of Dumbledore, do you?

"Smack!"

The sound is crisp.

For a moment, everyone in the room widened their eyes, Flitwick cried out in fright, and Professor Sprout covered his mouth.

Then they raised their wands one after another, fearing that the basilisk would swallow Kyle in the next second.

Even Dumbledore had an extra wand with a strange shape in his hand.

However, instead of being furious, the basilisk was really quiet, closed its mouth and fell back on its stomach.

"Don't worry, Professor." Kyle laughed, "It's mine now...... Pets, it won't hurt anymore. ”

There was a sudden silence in the secret room, and even a well-informed professor could hardly understand what had just happened...... It was like seeing Sniff jump up and slap the dragon, no less powerful than that of young Voldemort.

I don't know how long it took for Snape to speak:

"Am I to be understood...... You want to take the school's property for yourself. ”

He put his wand back in his arms and said as a matter of course: "This is the secret room of Slytherin, this basilisk should be that monster, since it is the inheritance of Slytherin, it naturally belongs to ...... Schools. ”

"No, it's mine." Kyle shook his head, "Mr. Salazar Slytherin gave it to me." ”

“……”

"Headmaster, I think we'd better hurry up and get to the school hospital." Snape said in a long voice, "Pomfrey should have a way to cure his brain." ”

Dumbledore just looked at Kyle,

"It seems that what you have experienced is more colorful than we imagined."

"It's memorable, indeed, Professor." Kyle laughed.

"Wait, Professor Dumbledore......" Snape frowned, "I don't think I'm believing his nonsense." ”

"Actually, I totally believe it, Severus." Dumbledore walked over to the statue and crouched down, carefully picking up the time turner, and examining it in his hand.

It was completely broken, its color had become dull, and it was full of cracks that could have been crushed with a little force.

"I think that's the real legacy of Slytherin......"

Dumbledore said in a trembling voice, "This is the earliest time converter, also known as a time regressor, which can be unconstrained by time, and allow the user to communicate with someone from the past, or future, like an old friend. ”

The more Dumbledore spoke, the quieter his voice became, and his hand unconsciously squeezed hard......

"Click!"

Like a pinched roasted potato chip, the time-turner snapped in half from the middle, and smaller pieces fell to the ground through the fingers.

Dumbledore hurriedly wrapped his hand in a spell similar to the Bubble Head Charm, and picked up all the fallen fragments without hesitation.

Even the dust on the ground was put into a bag by him.

"If you don't need to go to the hospital...... Dumbledore looked up, "Kyle, can you have a cup of tea with me?" ”

"Of course, Professor, I'd love to." Kyle said, "But can you add two servings of tonkatsu, I haven't eaten for almost a day." ”

"Even if it's three, it's fine." Dumbledore smiled.

By the time they left the chamber, it was already dawn, and the morning sun shone through the windows on the corridors of the castle.

When they arrived at the headmaster's office, Fawkes was already waiting, staggering over the head of the basilisk, its body heaving violently.

Although the basilisk obeyed Kyle's orders and did not resist, it was still not easy for Fawkes to take it with him.

But there was no way, Dumbledore couldn't let it swagger across the castle, and he didn't worry about it remaining in the Chamber of Secrets.

Kyle walks into the principal's office and places the remains of Riddle's journal on the table.

"I got this diary ...... during the holidays"

Kyle omitted a portion of the story, saying only that he heard some strange noises at the beginning of the school year and stumbled upon the Chamber of Secrets.

After that, there was nothing to hide.

Kyle tells them exactly what happened, including his sudden return to a few months ago, and his meeting with the Hogwarts Big Four......

Obviously, the professors were more interested in a paragraph.

"Incredible." Professor McGonagall covered her mouth, "So you really saw Godric Gryffindor?" ”

"Yes, a very reliable person and very friendly." Kyle said: "It's just that his personality is a little out of the woods, not very stable, and the other three seem to be annoying him." ”

Professor McGonagall's face froze, and she stopped talking.

"That's remarkable...... Dumbledore whispered, looking at the professors around him, "everyone should be up yet, can I ask you to announce the good news."

And when these things happen, it's worth having a party to celebrate, and someone needs to be notified from the kitchen. ”

"No problem." The professors simply walked towards the door.

Only Snape hesitated.

He had been staring at the basilisk entrenched in the corner since just now, and that look in his eyes was eager to carry it back to his private storage room.

"Headmaster, I insist that the basilisk is the property of the school."

Snape said, "And even if he did see Salazar Slytherin, a dangerous creature, he couldn't give it to a third-year student, and you don't forget the previous attacks." ”

"I'll give you a satisfactory answer, Severus." Dumbledore said.

"I hope so." Snape was gone, too.

"I suddenly noticed that this place was a little small......" Dumbledore said thoughtfully as the door was shut.

"Leave it to me, Professor." Kyle quickly put down the tonkatsu in his hand, took out the box, and stuffed the basilisk inside.

"It's a lot more spacious." Dumbledore laughed, "But when you leave, remember to leave the box behind." ”

"Okay." Kyle nodded helplessly.

"Professor Snape is right, I can't let a basilisk appear in the castle, even if it's safe, but ......"

Dumbledore blinked, "I'll give it to Newt when school is over, it's the best solution." ”

"You're thoughtful, Headmaster." Kyle simply placed the box on the table, "I'm sure Mr. Scamander will be able to take care of the basilisk!" ”

"I think so too."

Dumbledore pushed a custard tart to Kyle, "Try this, I think it's very good." ”

Kyle cut a piece and put it in his mouth...... Then I never looked at it again.

It's so sweet, is all the sugar in the kitchen picked up?

Ten minutes later, Kyle drank the last bit of pumpkin juice and looked up at Dumbledore, who had been silent.

"One more thing, Professor...... That's what Mr. Salazar Slytherin left me. ”

"Yes, you were right, I almost forgot."

As if he had just remembered, Dumbledore removed the plate, then took out the time-turner he had picked up from the Chamber of Secrets and placed it on the table.

"I have a request, Kyle." He said softly, "Can you ...... Let me keep it. ”

"But it's broken, Professor." Kyle said, "The kind of man who runs out and gets smashed to pieces, and he can't put it together." ”

"It can be fixed." Dumbledore muttered, "I know a lot of alchemists, and Nicol, they must have a way. ”

"But Professor Dumbledore, we can't change what has happened."

Kyle said, consciously or unconsciously, "And Mr. Godric Gryffindor once warned me to never touch time. ”

"I just want to fix it."

For the first time, Kyle saw a dodge in Dumbledore's eyes, and the two seemed to switch identities with each other in an instant.
