The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

"Then wouldn't it be better for him to simply kill us?" Harry asked in confusion: "Killing us and then escaping... wouldn't this be a more advantageous method?"

"Voldemort... has something in common with Emma." Dumbledore passed the candy jar filled with cockroaches to the students, and only DeWitt grabbed a handful.

"They all care about it, and Voldemort pays attention to the sense of ritual. It is the sense of ritual that makes him confident and achieves success, but it is this sense of ritual that prevents him from choosing the most difficult method for us."

DeWitt said: "Voldemort is also reluctant to let go of the Basilisk - if you think about it, would you let go of such a powerful monster as the Basilisk? Especially on the premise that he can still control the Basilisk, he is using you to threaten me.

..."

It must be admitted that DeWitt expected that Voldemort would threaten him with Hermione, but he did not expect to threaten him with Harry and Ron, so he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I thought there wouldn't be any

Irrelevant people were involved..."

"No, this has nothing to do with you," Harry said angrily: "I can see that the root cause of all this is Voldemort! Sooner or later, I will have to settle accounts with him..."

Dumbledore coughed slightly, and Harry stopped talking.

Ron thought pitifully - Oh, why doesn't anyone care about the feelings of an innocent person like me? But when he remembered that he also had relatives who died at the hands of Voldemort, he stopped feeling sorry for himself and said to DeWitt in agreement: "Yes.

Yes! This has nothing to do with you!"

Hermione's worry was written in her eyes, but she said nothing.

"Finally, it's the amulet that Lockhart mentioned. Hermione also discovered it. However, my level is limited and I can only call someone. It happened that the greatest wizard of our time temporarily resigned from Hogwarts..." DeWitt said with some regret.

: "Fortunately, we are well prepared this time - we have all kinds of preparations to deal with Voldemort, otherwise..."

You have to do it yourself.

"It was already in danger at that time. Once the magic that Voldemort had planned for a long time was activated, the students at Hogwarts would basically not be spared. Fortunately, I knew it was not too late. After blocking the activation of the magic, I forced him back to the diary.

Like this - and Miss Granger, you are really one of the few smart and brave girls I have ever seen in my life. You are excellent, not just in studies." Dumbledore's beard trembled slightly, as if he had met

As if it was really a terrible thing, he seemed to say thankfully: "Apart from the fact that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was consumed too quickly, the other results were all happy, and no innocent person was injured... and of course the diary... I almost

Forgot the most important thing..."

The diary was placed on the desk in the principal's office, and the portrait of the principal hanging on the wall was held breathlessly and carefully observed. Dumbledore took the sorting hat over, handed it to Harry and said, "Feel what's inside."
Harry's face was full of doubts, but he still put his hand into the Sorting Hat, which showed no response. Then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately pulled out a shining silver ruby ​​rapier from the Sorting Hat - and this one

The original location of the sword is in a cabinet in the principal's office. You can see it when you come in. After you pull it out, it has disappeared in its original place.

Not long enough or thick enough, DeWitt thought to himself.

"Look at the name above."

Harry saw the writing "Godric Gryffindor" near the hilt of the sword.

"This should be enough for you to no longer be confused," Dumbledore said simply: "Only a true Gryffindor can take out the Gryffindor sword, now-"

DeWitt took out a bottle of dark liquid from his pocket, and Dumbledore used this bottle to soak Gryffindor's sword. The black liquid was the venom of the basilisk, and not a drop fell after it touched the shining blade.

The sword seeped in and remained intact after absorbing the venom. Dumbledore then motioned to Harry: "Pierce this diary with this sword."

Harry did as he was told.

Ink and screams spurted out from the place where the diary was penetrated, and the evil black smoke that emerged at the same time was dispersed by Dumbledore. When everything was over, Harry exhaled, pulled out Gryffindor's sword, and used

Holding the sword in a non-standard posture, he asked: "Professor, is it over?"

Dumbledore looked at the diary in ecstasy and said softly: "Yes, for now... it's over. I will announce the news to the outside world."

It was over for the time being, and all the questions had been basically answered. Before leaving, DeWitt also received a letter from Dumbledore.

When they parted that night, DeWitt noticed that Hermione had something to say, but she was too tired today. They had to wait until the next day for some alone time, and walked along the base of the castle wall in the evening.

"If you have any questions, just ask." DeWitt spoke first.

Hermione organized her words and said: "You said Emma stole that diary, but where did that diary... come from?" After speaking, she added in a panic: "Of course I don't know if there is any secret in it.

, I'm just curious - you don't have to say - anyway, you always..."

"I got it from someone else's treasure house." DeWitt smiled slightly.

After pausing for a moment, Hermione was thinking about the hidden information behind this sentence, and after realizing that DeWitt did not want to say more details, she said: "What about Emma? You said she stole the diary... but...

”

"Ah, she stole it," DeWitt said firmly: "I know what you are thinking. Do you want to say that I deliberately set the trap?"

Hermione was silent.

"Let me tell you what I did. I just picked a good day when Emma was stalking me and trying to hurt me. I put the diary that I valued very much on the table in the library - I didn't

Did I do something wrong? Even if I did it on purpose, what does it matter? In the end, my mistake was just not keeping a dangerous item properly...that's all. The so-called danger does not exist if it is not touched."<

"Are you feeling sympathy for Emma Grossman because of her unclear condition?" DeWitt asked.

"Yes, think about it, that is a life..."

"Dumbledore has already said that you know everything about what Emma Grossman did when he tried to treat her. If you think she is innocent, it is better to say that she deserves it - you can't ignore a person just because of his appearance.

Is this man’s crime?”

"What about Professor Dumbledore? Will he have any opinion on you if he knows this?"

"You think he doesn't know?" DeWitt smiled and said bluntly: "Let me put it this way, there is almost nothing in the entire school that he doesn't know. If you want to say that Dumbledore knows that I have laid a trap, what will happen?"

What about me? No, he is a good person, and at the same time he is a good person who is not pedantic. As I just told you, I did not do anything wrong, and I did not let innocent people get hurt. However, when I was more than ten years old,

Emma, ​​who killed so many people for no reason at such a young age—is she considered innocent?"

"Dumbledore is very old now, but he is definitely not a stubborn old man. Do you remember what he said? He said that he would not mind killing Voldemort with his own hands if he had the opportunity - his views on good and evil

He already has a set of perfect principles, and this principle is not excessive at all. He doesn’t care whether the students have secrets, he only cares about whether the students will cause harm - it’s that simple!"
