Chapter 78 The Tool Man Is Online

Dumbledore's story is enough to fill seven books in a series.

But the principal was reluctant to tell anyone, and William did not continue to inquire.

Under William's careful comfort, Dumbledore finally controlled his emotions.

William hesitated for a moment, then chose to change the subject and continued to ask Hagrid's question.

"The secret room is open, what does it have to do with Hagrid?"

"You should know that Hagrid was expelled from the school back then?"

William nodded slightly. He knew about it when he first entered school, but Hagrid refused to tell anyone why.

"Fifty years ago, Hagrid, like you, was still a young, young wizard in the third grade, but he raised a... eight-eyed giant spider at school."

"..." It's really something Hagrid would do!

Although William and Hagrid had a good relationship, it was not wrong for him to be fired at all.

Is the eight-eyed giant spider something that can be kept in the school?

William was no longer a little wizard who had just entered school and didn't understand anything.

Back then, Hagrid had to take him to rub Aragog's legs... rub his legs?

Oh my God!

If William encounters an eight-eyed giant spider, he will probably directly cast a fiery fire spell on it, and have a charcoal-roasted spider hoof!

"But I still don't understand, what does he have to do with the secret room when he was fired?"

"Fifty years ago, the secret room was also opened, and a girl died... Everyone didn't know that the monster was a basilisk, and then a student reported Hagrid and raised an eight-eyed giant spider, and he just happened to be a scapegoat."

"Fifty years ago... Tom Riddle reported it?" William was stunned.

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded, "When we look back on this now, it's easy to spot the problem.

But at the time, except for my doubts, everyone assumed that the murderer was Hagrid. "

William nodded.

That's right,

At that node at that time: one was an outstanding student, an honor student that the professors liked, a prefect;

One is a silly big man who likes to raise strange creatures, and he does raise little monsters at school...

You are a professor, who do you believe?

Let's look at this again today:

One is the murderous Dark Lord; the other is a key keeper who has worked hard at Hogwarts for decades...

The answer speaks for itself.

But the reason why this matter has not been overturned is also very simple... There is no evidence.

Can you still take Voldemort to trial?

Even if Voldemort is arrested, they have reasons: "You can't just say that I was bad when I was in school because I was bad in the future, right?

Don't put any plugs in my nose! "

Moreover, most of the people who experienced this incident have passed away... Even those who are still alive are at least sixty or seventy years old.

No one would think of reversing what happened half a century ago.

and many more……

In a way, Hagrid's arrest is not a bad thing. He was not at school, and another attack would naturally prove that it had nothing to do with him.

There are only five attackers now, and the diary with obsessive-compulsive disorder must be enough for seven!

William spoke his thoughts, but Dumbledore shook his head.

"William, I think the sixth victim has appeared."

"Who?"

"Lockhart."

"how can that be possible?"

Dumbledore said calmly: "There are not many people who know that I have written poetry before, and Tom Riddle fifty years ago happened to be one of them."

"How could he know?"

"Tom asked around about my preferences, and complimented me in order to please me."

"That sounds weird."

It's more than weird, the headmaster almost said: To lick me!

It turns out that Voldemort back then was also a licking dog.

"It's not what you think, William." Dumbledore squinted, "The Tom of the year was completely different from the later Voldemort, it can be said that he was completely different.

Tom knows all the professors' hobbies. He likes to study, develop various connections, and is good at wrapping himself up with excellent looks and amazing talents.

I have said more than once that Voldemort was more terrifying when he was young than he was later... Not because of his magical attainments, but because he knew better how to deceive people and carry out conspiracies. "

William nodded... It is true, the reckless man is not scary, I am afraid that this reckless man will use his brain!

"So you think that Lockhart knew that you were a poet, that the diary told him?"

"That's just one of the reasons." Dumbledore's voice was low.

"And the magic Lockhart unleashed on Valentine's Day... is an improvement of the Dark Mark.

Of course, there are many wizards who can cast the Dark Mark, so I will.

Back in the Wizarding War, I liked to use the Dark Mark the most to draw those Death Eaters over. "

Holy crap... ruthless!

I don't know that those Death Eaters were attracted and found that Dumbledore was standing under the mark of the black demon. What a grass and mud horse.

"Tom, when he was in school, invented this magic.

For the obvious sense of ritual, they will release this mark on campus after pranking. "

"So, you think this is a diary reminiscing about the past?"

"Yeah, old things like that, don't they?" Dumbledore shrugged.

"Plus, Lockhart reported Hagrid to the Ministry of Magic, claiming that he had captured the attacker in the Chamber of Secrets..." William continued.

"It should also be instigated by the diary. It wants to repeat the old tricks, and wants to frame the blame and divert its attention."

William received information from Rita that Lockhart reported to the Ministry of Magic that Hagrid was the opener of the Chamber of Secrets.

That's why Lockhart thought he'd catch the attacker when school started at Christmas, because the diary gave him a hint.

"Yes, there are indications that the diary once appeared in Lockhart's hands..." Dumbledore crossed his hands and sighed:

"Then, referring to Ron, Lockhart should be the sixth to be attacked."

William raised his eyebrows and noticed that the headmaster had used a word - 'once'.

"I do guess that it was once." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with solemnity.

"The diary gave me such a clear signal that he had no reason to stay with Lockhart.

Like he exposed Ron and left immediately...a cautious guy. "

"It's a diary...how did it leave?" William said.

"Yeah, we must pay attention to this question, how did the diary leave Ron then, and how does it leave Lockhart now?" Dumbledore asked.

"This means that inside Hogwarts... there is a ghost inside?!"

"Yes, very likely!" Dumbledore nodded. "There may be a wizard who is helping the diary."

Both were silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Dumbledore suddenly explained: "William, when the phoenix appears, I need you to go to the secret room and save Harry."

"Uh-huh?!"

William was stunned, what the hell... is he going to become the principal's tool again?

Sure enough, it will always come!

Don't rely on William's will!
