Chapter 63: Special contribution award

"Thank God!" Mrs. Weasley walked over to Harry and Ai Wen. "You saved Ron, you saved him! How did you do it?"

"This is what we all want to know." Snape stared at them.

Evan and Harry squinted at each other, and Ai Wen snorted at Dumbledore, indicating that Harry had described what happened in the Chamber of Secrets. Harry hesitated for a moment, went to the desk, put the hat of the division, the silver sword with the ruby, and the wreck of Riedel's diary, all on the table.

Later, he began to tell the story to everyone.

He spoke for about a quarter of an hour, and everyone listened very carefully, and the room was silent.

He said that he always heard the invisible, soul-like sound, and then they investigated and learned from Hagrid about the past events that occurred when the chamber opened for fifty years, and concluded that there was a basilisk inside the chamber. It lurks in the water pipes and wanders around the school, attacking students.

Then, he said that the two battles that took place in the public restroom and the secret room, how he and Ai Wen were brought to the secret room by the snake, how was Ai Wen hit by Riddle's curse, how is Fox in time? When he arrived, how did the branch hat give him a sword, how he used the sword to kill the basilisk.

But then, his voice became hesitant.

He has always avoided Riddle's diary in the front, referring to Ron.

At this moment, Ron was standing at the fire with his head down, his face lost, and his tears rolled down his cheek silently.

Harry nervously thought, if he said that Riddle controlled Ron to do all this, but Riddle's diary had failed, how can they prove that those things were Ridley forced Ron to do? !

"Potter, say the point!" Snape whispered. "We only care about who opened the Chamber of Secrets, and why the stupid basilisk must take away Weasley?"

"This is because..." Harry didn't know what to say.

Especially this question was asked by Snape, although he saved them in the common room. But Harry was convinced that Snape wouldn't be soft if he had the opportunity to fire them from Hogwarts.

"Professor, it's all done by Voldemort, including that fifty years ago." Avon's voice sounded at the right time.

Suddenly heard the name of Voldemort, the room suddenly quieted down, the Weasleys, Hagrid and Connelly Fudge played a sly, Snape's expression is very weird, as for Lucius, who has been shrinking in the corner Malfoy was a bit unnatural at first.

"God, you, are you saying that these are mysterious people?" Fudge said in amazement. "Isn't Hagrid 50 years ago? He was caught by a student, and we even issued it." A special contribution award, all of which is well documented."

"Connelly, I have said to you long ago that Hagrid is being defamed. He is as innocent as all of us." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Yeah, yeah, you did say it, but the student who caught Hagrid..." Fudge said uncertainly.

"His name is Tom Riddle. He was a student of Voldemort. It was him who planned to launch a series of attacks in the castle. Harry and I stopped his plot in the secret room."

When he heard Evan's words, Fudge was nervously stepping back half a step. Although he had just finished listening to Harry, he couldn't imagine how the two eleven or two-year-old wizards defeated the mighty black wizard and a snake. weird.

The whole thing sounds like a fantasy.

"Mr. Minister, since we stopped Voldemort's conspiracy and saved Hogwarts." Ai Wen stared at Fudge tightly, and smiled and said, "Then I, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, Can you also get a special contribution award?"

"What?!" Fudge snorted. "Okay, okay, since you defeated the mysterious person, I think this should be no problem, but I need to discuss it with the school board. It should be a few days later.. ...."

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Minister!"

Ai Wen happily squatted and said quickly, "If you can, I want you to personally award us a prize. This news can be placed on our Hogwarts Magic and Prophet Daily. Published, I believe everyone will appreciate these things that the Ministry of Magic does."

"No problem, my dear child! I will probably visit Hogwarts again tomorrow with your special contribution trophy and Hagrid's pardon."

I heard that the reputation of the Ministry of Magic will not be damaged because of this incident. Fudge looks very happy. "Albus, since everything has come to the fore, I have to leave. You know, there are still many things waiting for me in the Ministry. Go and do it."

He greeted everyone and turned away from the principal's office, and Snape followed.

"Although we all know that Voldemort has planned this." After Fudge left, Dumbledore said softly, "But I am still curious, what method does Voldemort use to confuse Ron? Because, according to my sources, He is currently hiding in the forests of Albania."

"What?!" said Mrs. Weasley in a horrified voice. "You mean that the mysterious man has confused Ron, but Avon just said that they are together..."

"Professor, this diary is doing this."

Harry hurriedly said, grabbing the diary and showing it to Dumbledore. "It was when Riddle was sixteen."

Dumbledore took the diary from Harry's hand and stared at his long eagle hook nose, staring intently at the wet, burnt paper.

Ai Wen can be sure that the other party must recognize that this is a Horcrux.

"It's amazing!" Dumbledore whispered. "It goes without saying that he can probably be said to be Hogwarts' best student ever."

He turned and told the Weasleys about some of the Voldemort student days.

"But I don't understand why Ron has anything to do with him?"

"Because of his diary!" said Ron lost. "I found it in Ginny's variant textbook. I wrote it all over the year. He kept talking to me. Ivan is right. I am a jerk, I would rather trust a diary than trust my friends."

"God, Ron!" Mr. Weasley was stunned. "Did I not teach you? I have been telling you all the time, never believe anything that can think independently, unless you see it clearly. Where is the mind hidden? This suspicious diary is obviously full of black magic magic!"

"Don't blame Ron, Mr. Weasley." Avon hurriedly said, "Ranmon saved Ginny when the snakes launched an attack in the common room."

"In fact, very few wizards can get rid of magic control!" Dumbledore added, "Arthur, you should be proud of Ron, and I believe he must have gotten enough in this matter." Lessons."

"It’s really touching!" Just as everyone thought that things were over, Lucius Malfoy suddenly stood up from the corner, and he sneered, "Dumbledore, compared to a ridiculous diary and The child’s self-respect, I think we should go back to the topic, about the fact that you were suspended from the board of directors...”

His words have not been finished, and a letter suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's desk.

"I just want to tell you about this, Lucius!" Dumbledore said calmly. "I just got in touch with the other eleven directors. After discussion, they seem to think that I am the best fit for this. jobs."

"It turned out to be..." Lucius squinted and said slowly.

"Besides, they also told me something interesting. It seems that someone is threatening them to say that if they don't agree to let me leave, they will curse their family." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.

"It's a good joke!" Lucius's face was paler than usual. His eyes were spurting out with anger. "If that's the case, then I will leave, I hope that Hogwarts will not appear again in the future." Attacks! Otherwise, as a school director, I will be very troubled!"
