If Hogwarts Castle is used as a direction sign, the Black Lake is located at the front entrance of the castle, and from the perspective of the entire school, it should belong to the back garden of the campus.
There is a big lawn between the Black Lake and the castle. Flying lessons in the first grade are held here. Usually this is also the main place for the little wizards in the castle to go out.
And this small clearing by the Black Lake is Lynn, Cedric and Ian where they often meet in school.
The most comfortable thing here is that in summer, the cold lake water will naturally adjust the surrounding temperature, so that people lying on the lawn and chatting have the comfort of enjoying the breeze in spring.
"It's a pity that you haven't attended a class at Hogwarts recently. The new professor Lockhart's class is very interesting. Anyway, I have been here for four years. This year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is the best I have ever attended. Class." Cedric showed off to Lynn the new professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the school.
Lynn’s forehead hair was gently blown up. In fact, it’s the beginning of autumn. Although the body will secrete annoying sweat as long as you move a little bit, lying quietly on the lawn will only make people like it more. The days of September.
"Is it really so good? I heard Xiao buried complaining to me that the professor left a lot of homework." Lynn squinted his eyes and expressed doubt on the surface, but actually wanted to hear Cedric continue. Say good things about him.
"I think there is nothing wrong with the amount of homework left. In the past, the professors left less homework. After I finish writing, I even have a sense of emptiness of'just here'. Now the homework left by Professor Lockhart is at most written. At eight o'clock in the evening, there will be a little time for a daze before going to bed afterwards."
It seems that there is still less homework assignment, and there is still time to be in a daze before going to bed.
"I'm different. You still have the enjoyment of being in a daze before going to bed. I am as busy as a spinning top every day. I keep spinning and never stop." Lynn exclaimed.
Today, he really had a rare time to have a bragging chat with Cedric and the others, but even so, during the rare break in this way, he was still thinking about the disappearance of the basilisk.
This thing is like a time bomb. If you don’t find the bomb and cut the lead wire short, the ghost knows where and when it will explode.
"If you don't have enough time, I can help you with an idea." Ian said.
Lynn didn't pay much attention to the idea he said: "Does it allow me to use the fragmented time reasonably? To be honest, I don't have the fragmented time at all, or I am busy even in the fragmented time."
"No, I didn't mean that." Ian explained to him.
"I heard some excellent grades in the common room in Ravenclaw. They talked about it. They sometimes take a lot of classes after entering the third grade, but these courses will conflict in time, so they just I will apply to the dean of my college, Professor Flivy, for a magic device called a time converter. It is said that this thing allows them to repeat the time that has passed before. I think if you apply to Professor Snape based on your grades, he A time converter should be approved for you."
Lynn was stunned when he finished speaking.
Then he suddenly got up from the grass, his face showed a surprised expression, and he lowered his head and said to Ian seriously.
"Thank you Ian, your ideas for helping me are very useful. When I get back home, I will cook and invite you to dinner."
After speaking, he hurriedly left the lawn. Cedric and Ian looked at the back of him leaving. The two looked at each other and shrugged. They didn't understand what Lynn would be given to Lynn if they just said something casually. Kind of help.
Lynn returned to the castle, and came directly to the principal’s office without stopping for a moment.
He did forget that there was a bug-level thing called a time converter, and it’s no wonder Lynn didn’t remember that this thing was completely destroyed in the battle in the prophecy hall after it appeared once in the original book except for the third part. , So if there is no reminder from Ian, maybe he will not remember this until next year when Hermione applies to Professor McGonagall for the time converter.
If you can go back in time and return to the secret room before it is opened, and the basilisk has not disappeared, he can catch the person who took the basilisk away before him!
"Has Professor Dumbledore come back?" The stone monster in front of the principal's office is still so ugly, but you can't pray for how beautiful a stone can grow.
Hearing Lynn’s question, the stone monster gave him a way, and at the same time replied in a muffled voice: "It hasn’t been long since he came back, and he hasn’t even had time to eat his favorite pile of cockroaches."
Lynn opened the door and walked into the principal's room. Dumbledore was putting a "cockroach" in his mouth when he came in.
"I made it to my chair for less than ten seconds. You came to me." He looked at Lynn who opened the door and smiled while enjoying the burst of candy in his mouth. "I listened to the sorting hat to me. Reported that you came to my office many times in the past few days, and you still tried to get something out of its belly by grabbing its tip?"
"Yes, professor, I saw a legend in a book in the library. Gryffindor once had a sword left in the world, and this hat was also left by Gryffindor. I wanted to try it. Is that sword hidden in his hat?" Lynn sat opposite Dumbledore and said the reason he had prepared.
"You guessed it, Gryffindor's sword is indeed hidden in the Sorting Hat." Dumbledore did not hide it. "As long as they have the quality of courage, many people can pick up the sword from that hat. Pull it out, but only the Slytherin students can't."
"Because they look at each other unpleasantly?"
"They used to be best friends, but unfortunately, due to differences in teaching concepts, they finally parted ways."
Lynn didn't come here to talk about the history of Hogwarts with Dumbledore. After the short chat, he went straight to the subject.
"I heard that excellent students in the third grade can apply to the school for something called a time converter?"
Dumbledore blinked: "Yes, but to be precise, this thing is to apply to the Ministry of Magic. Excellent students want to spend more time studying, of course we have to find a way for them."
"Professor, I should meet the requirements of an excellent student? And I was a student and a professor at Hogwarts, so time is really not enough."
Dumbledore did not directly agree, he tapped the table top of the desk lightly with his fingers, and looked at Lynn deeply.
"Don’t hide from me, Lynn, I know that you want a time converter not just because you don’t have enough time. There are some things you don’t have to think about alone. I know that everything you do is For this school, but don’t forget, I’m still the principal of Hogwarts."
Lynn fell into silence.
Every time he wants to get involved in the original work, he does like to conceal his plan and do it alone.
This is not because he does not trust others, but because of the instinct of a traverser.
He always subconsciously wants to conceal what will happen in the future, because he knows that there is no reason for this. If someone carefully investigates his deeds when he came to Hogwarts, he will find out. He always knows it inexplicably. Some secrets that others don’t know, predict events that will happen but haven’t happened yet.
Even prophets who are born with the ability to predict the future cannot make such accurate predictions.
After all, prophecy is only a kind of magic, and it can't do omniscience and omnipotence at all.
But about the secret room and the basilisk, Lynn thought he might not need to hide it from Dumbledore. He had a secret excuse for knowing the secret room. And Dumbledore was right. He was still the principal of Hogwarts. With his help, it would be much more convenient for Lynn to find clues alone.
After thinking about it, Lynn looked at Dumbledore and took out Tom's diary from his pocket with a solemn expression.
"Professor, you should have heard of the teleportation of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
"At the time, one of the Big Four, Salazar Slytherin, and the other three had a conflict in teaching concepts. He believed that Hogwarts should only recruit pure-blood students. But it was opposed by the other three founders. In the end, he angrily left the school he participated in and left a secret room in the castle. He threatened that one day his descendants would open the secret room, release the terrifying monsters inside, and carry out Hogwarts. A sacred cleansing kills all wizards who are not pure blood."
Dumbledore opened his mouth to tell the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, and said in a joke: "This legend has been circulated in the school when I was still at Hogwarts, but our professor of the history of magic Bing Professor Si never believed that this legend was true, and after thousands of years, the secret room has never been opened, so no one thinks this matter is true."
"But it's true, Professor." Lynn said affirmatively, "It's not only true, it's been opened before."
Lynn knocked on the diary on the table, attracted Dumbledore’s gaze, and opened it at the same time.
"The one who opened the secret room was your student who went astray, Tom Riddle."
The diary seemed to recognize the old man with white beard and hair in front of him. It was his guide to the magic world, the former professor of transfiguration, Albus Dumbledore.
A large cloud of thick black ink suddenly appeared on the somewhat yellowed paper in the diary, and then immediately disappeared.
Obviously, Tom in the diary just now was scared!
"This is Tom's diary when he was in the fifth grade at Hogwarts. He used an evil black magic to seal part of his soul in it. This soul has his memories before the fifth grade. During the summer vacation, Malfoy's father secretly put the diary in the textbook of Ginny Weasley's younger sister, but the diary fell into my hands because I exchanged textbooks with Ginny.
Before coming to Hogwarts, I always put him and Tom together, and later Tom reported to me. This diary was tricking him into letting him open the door of the secret room, letting out the basilisk inside, and killing me. , And carry out a cleaning of Hogwarts.
According to what this diary said, I found the secret room and wanted to solve the basilisk in advance, but unexpectedly the secret room was still there, but the basilisk inside disappeared. According to the diary Tom, if there is no Someone gave the order that the basilisk could not leave the secret room for no reason. Someone must have opened the secret room before me and took the basilisk away! "
Lynn told Dumbledore what he had discovered, except that he knew the source of the secret room and the basilisk, and everything else was the truth.
Dumbledore finished listening to Lynn's narration and pondered for a long time, then he spoke slowly.
"I still remember an incident that happened when I was a professor of transformation at Hogwarts. At that time, a girl died in the school, which caused a huge panic throughout Hogwarts. At the time, the principal of Hogwarts, Dipe Professor Te has no clue about this. No one knows how the girl died. For this reason, the Ministry of Magic even decided to close Hogwarts. In the end, Tom exposed Hagrid, saying that it was his pet, a giant The spider did all this, which eventually led to Hagrid being kicked out of the school, and Tom was commended by the school to end the incident.
In fact, he was already suspicious of him at the time~www.novel35.com~ He always liked to hang out in the castle at night, but I have no evidence, and I don’t know how he did it. But now it seems that the student death that happened at that time was when Tom Riddle released the basilisk in the secret room and then blamed all this on Hagrid? "
When Dumbledore said these words, he didn't look at Lynn, but kept staring at the diary.
As he told, dark ink spots appeared on the old pages of the diary from time to time.
Tom's mood fluctuates greatly now.
Dumbledore stared at the diary, and his blue pupils showed regret that would not normally appear. He shook his head and sighed: "It's really vicious magic, for immortality, to avoid death, to divide his soul, and to sacrifice. The life of an innocent person starts from the time you discover the Horcrux, and then walks on the irreversible dark road step by step, Tom."
Hearing Dumbledore’s words, Tom in the diary suddenly became more excited.
Black ink surfaced on the blank paper, quickly forming a scribbled letter.
"What do you know! From the day you took me away from the orphanage, you were full of suspicion and resistance to me! You used magic to intimidate me in order to make me obedient! At Hogwarts, no matter what I do, you are Don't trust me! What led me on the dark path? Why do you say that I was wrong! My path has never been dark! What I pursue is the future that the magical world really needs! Not yours! Dumbledore! Yours!"
