The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 256 Only Malfoy's Unsatisfactory Ending
With the elimination of the basilisk, Tom Riddle's diary was also destroyed, and the legend of the secret room that had been circulating in the wizarding world for nearly a thousand years also disappeared.Henceforth, there will be no more basilisks, and no so-called heirs of Slytherin.

Dumbledore left the Chamber of Secrets with the revived Ginny, and the group went to Professor McGonagall's office, where the Weasleys were waiting for them.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the office, she heard Mrs. Weasley crying in the house, which shows how worried this middle-aged woman who is sometimes "fierce" and sometimes kind is worried about her daughter.

Pushing open the door, Dumbledore walked in with Ginny, and the attention of everyone in the room was attracted by the sound of the door opening.

Mrs. Weasley, who was sitting in front of the fire, stopped crying, Mr. Weasley stared blankly at the door, and the twins stopped walking back and forth.For a moment, the people in the office seemed to be frozen, and there was silence all around.Suddenly, a scream—

"Ginny!"

Mrs. Weasley jumped to his feet, followed by Mr. Weasley, who both threw their arms around their precious daughter at the same time.The twins also hurried over. Seeing that their sister was fine, the two brothers turned to Ada and said softly, "Thanks for your hard work."

After releasing Ginny, Mrs. Weasley hugged Ida and Harry respectively.Words could no longer express Mrs. Weasley's gratitude, she just repeated: "You saved her! You saved her!"

The head of the family, Mr. Weasley, expressed his gratitude to Dumbledore, as well as Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout.Mr. Weasley knew that without the help of these three professors, his daughter might have stayed in the Chamber of Secrets forever.

After a while, the emotions of the Weasley family gradually stabilized. Dumbledore walked to the desk and put down the diary, and began to tell everyone the story.

While Dumbledore was speaking, Professor McGonagall walked up to Ada.She took out a handkerchief and wiped Ada's face. How hard she wiped meant how much she disliked Ada who was like a mud monkey.

Ada also knew that she was covered in mud, so she cleaned her robes when she left the secret room.It's just that she couldn't see whether there was gray on her face, and no one else told her, so Ada naturally didn't know that she had become a little cat.

Dumbledore did not blame Ginny, who was persecuted by Voldemort, and did not blame her for opening the Chamber of Secrets and releasing basilisks to attack the students.Instead, he comforted Ginny and told the Weasleys not to punish her.

That Tom Riddle's diary is the culprit, and the one who should be punished for hiding the diary in the book-Lucius Malfoy.

That's right, the diary was slipped into Ginny's Transfiguration textbook by Lucius Malfoy on the day of the Diagon Alley fight.

After leaving the office, the Weasleys took Ginny to the school infirmary so that the suffering little girl could have a good rest.Harry stayed in the office, his mind was full of question marks, and he wanted to ask Dumbledore about many things.

Although Ada also had doubts in her heart, she didn't stay, but wandered to the bathroom alone.She really can't stand the smell on her body anymore, so I'll talk about these questions later.

At this time, the students were still in the common room of their respective colleges, so there was no one in the bathroom.Ada came to the compartment she used the most, turned on the water, adjusted the water temperature, and entered the water.

In the misty bathroom, Ada covered her head with a towel. Her fair skin was slightly flushed, and the unhappiness of being stained with mud had been thrown away by her at this moment.

It is said that people like to think when taking a bath. Archimedes of ancient Greece discovered the law of buoyancy while taking a bath.But this does not mean that taking a bath really helps to think, but that when you take a bath, you suddenly "quiet down", with a lot less external interference, and your thinking naturally becomes clearer.

At this moment, Ada is alone in the bathroom. This is the most dangerous scene in ghost movies, and it is also the most suitable for thinking.Ada is just thinking about it non-stop now, thinking about it, and she is thinking about Tom Riddle's diary.

Being able to preserve the memory of a 16-year-old boy for 50 years, and to "resurrect" the 16-year-old boy into a physical person, is obviously not a function that a diary should have, and it is also a diary made by Muggles.This is neither magic nor science.

If there is such a diary, Ada would like to say: Make one for me too!I have money!As much as you want!

When the diary from the Muggle world preserves Tom Riddle's memory, or soul, the diary is no longer an ordinary diary, but a magical item that carries the hope of Voldemort's resurrection.

Ada and Dumbledore briefly discussed the soul and life. Most of the magic that acts on the two is black magic, usually evil and unforgivable.

In other words, it is most likely a kind of black magic that allows the diary to carry the soul and possibly revive the memory.This dark magic is likely to be the real treasure of Slytherin, from the books that disappeared and were hidden by Voldemort.

It's just that Ada has no idea what this black magic is.Grindelwald did not teach her the Dark Arts, nor did she learn anything similar from Cecil.

For a while, Ada fell into her own blind spot of knowledge.She tore off the towel from her head and fell into the bathtub hard. She wanted to say a bad word, but her mouth made a "hissing" sound unconsciously.

Ada quickly covered her mouth. She had just acquired this ability, and she was not proficient at mastering it yet.It's just a moment of relaxation, and such a sentence came out, it really shouldn't be.

If it is now known that she can speak Parseltongue, even if Ada has mouths all over her body, she can't explain it clearly!
Fortunately, there is only Ada here, no one will know about her mistake this time, and no one will know that she can also make snakes bow their heads.

Now Ada is still a weak person, and needs to explain to others all the abnormalities and irrationality around her to make herself look normal.

When she becomes Dumbledore, or someone like Grindelwald, she won't need to explain it to anyone.The name Ada is the truth.

After making sure that no one would know, Ada felt relieved and soaked in the hot water comfortably again.

Just as Ada was washing her clothes and rubbing her fragrance, a few guests came to the school suddenly.The Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and Lucius Malfoy were joined.

Minister Fudge came to solve the Chamber of Secrets and wanted to take away the suspect Hagrid.

That's right, Hagrid was cast as a murderer again, just like 50 years ago.Even the former headmaster, Armando Dippet, and the current Minister of Magic, Fudge, were played around. Harry and Ginny were seduced and bewitched, and there was no injustice at all.

The Chamber of Secrets mystery has been solved by Dumbledore, the Hogwarts gamekeeper is innocent, and Hagrid no longer needs to be sent to Azkaban.

Although Dumbledore did not hand over the murderer to the minister, Dumbledore kindly invited Fudge to visit the Chamber of Secrets and see the basilisk that had disappeared in England for 400 years.

Cornelius Fudge didn't want to go to the Chamber of Secrets, he declined Dumbledore's invitation on the grounds of his busy schedule.Then, the minister left the school with his subordinates flying away, and took away the big liar Lockhart by the way.

Gilderoy Lockhart will be temporarily imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic. After his affairs are found out, he will face a long prison life in Azkaban.

Different from the Ministry of Magic's intention, although Malfoy also came for the Chamber of Secrets, he came to force the palace.He united with other school managers to force Dumbledore to leave the school, and the secret room was just his reason.

But Malfoy was destined to be disappointed. Not only did he fail to drive Dumbledore away, but he was beaten by Dumbledore, and even lost his house elf.

This school year, Harry was warned by the Ministry of Magic, missed the school train, and was almost murdered by Bludgers. The "behind the scenes" of all this is Dobby, the house elf of the Malfoy family.

Your lord has a lot of unreliable help from Harry who didn't care about Dobby, and even liberated Dobby smoothly.Starting today, Dobby is a "free" elf!
