A day at Hogwarts

Harry had been studying this notebook for some time, and with the new information he had recently obtained, he had a new understanding of it. Based on the existing information, he came to a conclusion that he thought was correct.

"I think it was Malfoy...Draco Malfoy's father who did it!"

Harry's answer made Dumbledore become serious. Charles had previously said that Lucius Malfoy did it. Although he had no preconceptions, it was inevitable that the three of them would become a tiger.

Harry recalled: "That day when we went shopping in Diagon Alley, I accidentally went to a shop owned by a wizard named Borgin because I was using Floo powder. All the dangerous things sold there."

Several Weasleys nodded, Harry was indeed lost at that time.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall's expressions became more solemn. That store had something to do with Voldemort.

Harry continued: "When I came out of the fireplace, Malfoy and Old Malfoy came in. I hid in the cupboard next to it and heard their conversation."

"Old Malfoy is selling some things, saying he is selling some collectibles to avoid trouble from the Ministry of Magic."

"Bojin asked him if his family didn't have enough money, and he scolded him angrily for a quarter of an hour."

Charles thought that the Malfoy family probably had some kind of underground secret room, so those things were not blown up by the old man.

Since the Malfoy family could not find the cause of this incident, they were regarded as secretly studying dark magic. They have been closely watched recently, and they may have to cut off some of their tails to survive.

As for the gold coins, I think most of them are stored in Gringotts' underground vault and there is no loss.

Harry got to the most important point: "Old Malfoy said at the time that he had something very important to do that day, and I think he just hid this notebook in Ginny's book."

"Besides," he added at last, "Dobby."

Charles was a little surprised. This kid seemed to know a lot of things.

He took the opportunity to glance at Ginny, and their eyes met. The little girl's face, which was originally pale with nervousness, suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously shrank her neck, as if she had been caught doing something bad.

Charles raised his eyebrows. There was a story behind it. He would have to interrogate Harry properly when he had time.

Dumbledore nodded after listening and asked Harry: "What did you do with this notebook?"

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at Professor McGonagall cautiously, and replied in a low and fast voice: "I asked him how to write his homework."

As expected, this kid copied the homework. Professor McGonagall couldn't tolerate such slippery behavior in teaching, so she asked him: "Did you use Charles's name to ask Tom how to write the homework, and then copied it and handed it in?"

If you do bad things, you will be punished and if you don't get points deducted, then try another method.

Charles felt as if his head had been hit by a cauldron, and turned his head to glare at Harry.

Good guy, I don’t want Tom to know his name, but this guy actually uses his own name to communicate with Tom. It’s unjustifiable without giving him a beating.

Harry quickly changed positions. Hermione was originally next to him, and squeezed her between him and Charles, thinking that this would be safe for the time being.

The situation was already clear, and Dumbledore asked Harry again: "Besides asking about homework, what else did you communicate with Tom?"

Harry started to get nervous. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I asked him about the opening of the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago. He showed me a piece of history in which the murderer was Hagrid."

"Later I asked Hagrid, and Hagrid said Aragog was innocent."

This was not good news for Dumbledore, who now just whispered "Hagrid is indeed innocent."

He suddenly saw Charles sneer, and immediately added: "On the matter of Myrtle."

Next, Dumbledore asked Charles with a dark face: "What name did you and Tom use to talk?"

Charles replied seriously: "Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor." After speaking, he subconsciously touched his hair.

Dumbledore frowned, "Your Highness" just asked Tom some ordinary alchemy questions.

He glanced at everyone and asked in a deep voice: "Who is Friedrich von Wesson?"

In the set of words, this person asked several questions related to black magic, which are the focus of attention.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and all shook their heads in unison.

"This is a German name." Miss Know-It-All understood quite well. "Could it be someone with a German name, or someone related to Germany?"

Then Charles blinked innocently, didn't he just know two German vampire girls? Why are you looking at me?

Dumbledore did not dwell on this aspect, but said very seriously: "I don't want any of you to get involved in the dark arts."

Charles nodded along with everyone, but he was wondering in his heart, Ron, just nod, why are you trembling?

Dumbledore added: "How this notebook came into Ginny's hands requires further evidence."

Harry immediately asked: "Why not arrest old Malfoy and question him?"

Dumbledore shook his head slightly and said, "No one has seen Lucius Malfoy since Halloween last year."

Charles was really surprised this time. No wonder Old Deng was so important to Grindelwald's disappearance. Less than half a year after Voldemort slipped away from the back of Quirrell's head, a well-known former Death Eater disappeared. There was nothing wrong with this.

He thought about how to expose Banban's matter now, but finally thought about it and let them solve the internal affairs of their circle by themselves.

If you have the energy, why not think about making delicious snacks for Gabrielle and Fleur? When it gets warm in a few days, go to the centaurs tribe to see what snacks to drink with Valentina, and help Erica find interesting plants. , give some advice to Lily on the sugar-free cola she is researching, and ask Honeydukes to research some more wonderful insect candies to Fang Xian and Zhang Jingjing. I don’t know if the flying motorcycle Emily and the others have made for themselves is ready. , and that guy Yamada Hakumitsu wrote a letter not long ago saying that he wanted to become Tempura Sennin...

Charles suddenly found that he was very busy. When he came to his senses, he found that everyone in the office was looking at him.

Dumbledore asked him seriously: "Charles, did you see something again?"

Wizards are very interested in prophecies, and Charles is really gifted in this area. Others think that he was in a daze just now and is showing off his powers again.

Charles scratched his head and said, "No, I just wondered if Lucius Malfoy had a lover and stayed there all the time, or maybe Mrs. Malfoy discovered it."

Dumbledore was speechless, and after a moment he said, "I think it's time to clean up the books under the bookcase in your room."

Charles's face instantly turned whiter than titanium dioxide.

Dumbledore returned to the subject and said, "This notebook was left by Voldemort."

Charles didn't expect that he actually said it outright, and the students were frightened.

Dumbledore signaled the excited Harry to calm down, and continued: "There is a strong magic in the notebook, which controlled Ginny and asked her to release the basilisk."

The classmates were frightened again. Except for Percy and Charles, who had already learned about this, everyone else gathered around Ginny and asked if she felt uncomfortable. The noise in the principal's office was louder than the market.

It took half an hour for the office to quiet down. Fred reached for the notebook and said to the principal: "Professor Dumbledore, please allow me to destroy it!"

For the rare first time, the twins were separated. George grabbed his hand and said, "Now is not the time to use it as evidence to send Malfoy to Azkaban!"

Fred reacted and pulled back his hand.

At this time Ginny mustered up the courage to say to the principal: "Professor Dumbledore, I want to destroy this notebook myself!"

Ron immediately stopped: "No, it's too dangerous. Some black magic items have curses on them, and you will be hurt when you destroy them!"

Ginny stiffened her neck and said stubbornly to Ron: "I decided when I was in the cave at the seaside. The old man said that he would solve the mistakes he made by himself, and I will also solve the basilisk!"

Everyone present looked at Ginny as if they had just met her, and the principals on the wall nodded.

At this time, Percy frowned and asked, "What, old man, were you alone when we picked you up?"

At first, Ginny just said that she had been staying in the cave. After a moment of hesitation, she told her about meeting an old man.

After she finished speaking, Principal Black on the wall continued: "Matilda Weasley's students are also my students."

No one paid any attention to him.

Dumbledore was not distracted to think about this matter. Like everyone else, he thought that Ginny just met a kind old wizard.

Then Harry asked a question: "Where is the basilisk?"

Ginny shook her head.

Charles suddenly frowned and looked at Dumbledore, and asked in a bad tone: "Professor Dumbledore, don't you want someone to be controlled by the notebook again, and follow him to find the place where the basilisk is."

He thought of Grindelwald's revelation that Dumbledore was not a good person at all, and he thought he wanted someone to step on this trap.

Dumbledore looked at him in surprise, and after a moment of silence he said: "This notebook will absorb the life force of those who open their hearts to it, using it as its own source of power."

Others could tell by looking at his white hair and beard that if he was to provide life force, he would have to be hung on the wall next semester.

"Let me do it!" Harry stood up first, "I defeated Voldemort once, and this time I can also defeat the dark magic notebook he left behind!"

Then came Fred and George.

Seeing this, Charles didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he said, "Percy is the best candidate."

The principals on the wall saw the children vying to sacrifice themselves. When this guy proposed to sacrifice others, they booed loudly for a while.

Charles continued: "The professor just said that we need to open our hearts to Tom. We are all on guard and it will definitely not work. I remember that Tom Riddle is the president of the student union. Percy will sincerely ask him for advice."

Everyone found this reason irrefutable, and Percy himself nodded.
