Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 49 Reward from the Principal

Hermione was right, they had not been in the common room for long before Professor McGonagall dragged them to the office.

"It's a miracle that you came out alive." Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses, "And you found the entrance and violated nearly a hundred school rules."

"Just a few first-year and second-year students, how on earth did you make it out alive?"

"Didn't Harry solve the Philosopher's Stone incident last year, Professor." Louis was still a little exhausted, but at least he could stand and speak now.

"That's different, Wiggins." McGonagall frowned, "Last year was just a small fight between our teachers."

Louis spread his hands. He did not intend to tell Professor McGonagall what happened in the secret room. After all, it involved his own secrets.

"Dumbledore, I think you need to explain this to me." There was a commotion outside the office, and the closed door was slowly opened. Dumbledore accompanied a short, fat middle-aged man walking into it.

"I'm sorry, Connelly. I don't know anything about this either, and it won't help if you take Hagrid away, because it's not the secret room he opened."

"But there have been three attacks on Albus in the school." The Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, shook his fat body. "If the Ministry of Magic does not take action, I, the Minister, should also step down."

"You can't take Hagrid away. This is a clear plan to arrest innocent people, Minister." Professor McGonagall naturally heard their conversation, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Think about our work, Minerva." Fudge showed a helpless look, "Parents have jointly signed a letter to the Ministry of Magic. They have been worrying about the Chamber of Secrets incident for the past few days. If the Ministry of Magic does not take any action..."

"Oh, my God, these children came out of the secret room?" Fudge's face was full of shock, and he stared at Louis and the others in disbelief.

"That's what I want to say, Cornelius." Dumbledore walked to his desk and sat down. "The Chamber of Secrets incident has been completely solved."

"Have you found the murderer behind the scenes?" Fudge asked, before he could recover.

"Tom Riddle, I think we can call him Voldemort now." Dumbledore lowered his eyes, and when the word Voldemort appeared, there was a terrible silence.

"Oh my god, are you saying that all this was done by the mysterious man?" Fudge said in surprise. It was impossible not to believe what Dumbledore said, "but he has been dead for many years."

"He'll come back, Connelly, I've warned you more than once."

"Moreover, he was the one who opened the secret room fifty years ago, not Hagrid. He was wrongly accused from the beginning."

"Yeah, I know, you've been saying it before..." Fudge's tone was perfunctory.

"However, the little guy has great potential, Louis Wiggins, right? Albus mentioned you to me. If you have any difficulties in the future, just mention it to me." Fudge actually had some intention of winning over Louis. He could see that. Come out, among this group of people, even the famous Harry Potter is headed by Louis.

"Albus, since it's okay, I'm leaving. Don't worry, I won't take Hagrid away." Fudge waved to Dumbledore, and Professor McGonagall stood up to see off the minister. , the two left the office on foot, leaving Dumbledore and Lewis looking at each other.

"I seem to remember saying that if you break any school rules, I will expel you, Harry, and of course Louis, too." Dumbledore said.

Harry and Louis were a little overwhelmed.

"That means someone among us must break his promise." Dumbledore smiled, "Well, I think the school's special contribution award should not be a problem, plus two hundred points for each of you, including Greengrass of course. Miss."

Astoria was taken aback. She had never thought that such a day would come to her.

"But Professor Dumbledore, I..."

"I won't treat one favorably. You have given Louis a lot of spiritual help."

Spiritual help? The alpaca was galloping in Lewis's heart, and this damn old man was thinking about something else.

"However, I would like to know how Tom Riddle controls all of this?" Dumbledore said in a gentle tone, not like a principal lecturing students.

"This is the diary, Professor."

Louis threw the diary that had been baked into ashes at the desk. Dumbledore picked up his wand and looked at it carefully. Louis didn't know if Dumbledore could confirm that this was a Horcrux.

"I didn't know that Voldemort still had the habit of keeping a diary." Dumbledore joked, "But he is indeed a relatively outstanding student, and this diary should contain very profound black magic."

Possibly the most evil black magic in the world.

"But how did you get it, Miss Greengrass?" Dumbledore stared at Astoria for a moment.

"I don't know either, Professor." Astoria shook her head, "I always thought it was my own diary because it looks exactly like the one I had before."

"I think I know, Professor, that this matter may have something to do with Lucius Malfoy." Louis interjected. He couldn't possibly say that he accidentally dropped the diary after colliding with Astoria.

As he was talking, suddenly the office door opened again, and Louis saw Lucius Malfoy holding a cane, followed by poor house elf Dobby.

"It seems you are back." Lucius sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so shameless."

"I was about to say this, Lucius." Dumbledore shook out the envelope in his hand, "The other eleven directors have contacted me today. To be honest, they seem to think that I am the best person to solve this matter. The things they told me were strange. Some of them seemed to think you would curse their family if they didn't stop me."

Lucius's expression was distorted, and he said without changing his mind:

"It seems you have solved the problem and caught the murderer?"

"Yes, Lucius, it's the same as last time. I think you should know." Dumbledore stared at Lucius for a while.

"Okay, then congratulations, let's go, Dobby." Malfoy sneered and beat the house elf Dobby out with his cane.

Looking at Lucius's retreating figure, Louis winked at Harry. Harry knew it well, pointed at the diary and asked Dumbledore: "Can I take this diary away, Professor?" ?”

"Of course, my dear boy."

After Harry thanked Dumbledore, he picked up his diary and ran towards the door.

"And you guys, I think we should go to the campus hospital and have a look. Madam Pomfrey has been urging me for a long time." Dumbledore pointed at Ginny and Astoria, but only missed Louis. , it seems that he still has something to negotiate with Louis alone.
