Chapter 140
Louis opened his mouth, wondering if he should tell Dumbledore the truth.

He sneakily glanced at Ibrahimovic, who was still looking at Luna, who was so sad that he couldn't help himself. Dumbledore understood, made an excuse, and left the medical wing with Louis.

"Tell me." Dumbledore asked softly after going out, he knew that Louis must know something.

Louis organized his words, and said hesitantly, "Professor, do you still remember that the secret room was opened 50 years ago?"

"Of course I remember." Dumbledore's eyes wandered for a moment, as if he was reminiscing about the past, "Oh, the headmaster at that time was still Mr. Dippet, and I was only the professor of Transfiguration."

Louis pondered for a moment before continuing, "I heard that the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, and a Muggle-born girl died?"

"There is such a thing. The deceased was a student of Ravenclaw. I still remember her name—Miss Warren." Dumbledore shook his head and sighed: "The Ministry of Magic has not yet concluded, who opened the The secret room killed the girl..."

"Then they broke Hagrid's wand?" Louis said with a look of disgust.

"Who told you?" Dumbledore asked with some surprise: "It stands to reason that Professor McGonagall and I were the only ones who knew the secret back then and were still in Hogwarts. How did you know?"

"Is it possible... that the real culprit who opened the secret room told me?" Louis smiled slyly, looking like a villain.

Catherine wrinkled her nose behind him, as if expressing displeasure at Louis' strange appearance.

Dumbledore scratched the back of his head with a question mark on his face, and his white beard was shaking with his movements.

"The Riddler get out of Hogwarts." Catherine said coldly.

Louis shrugged and said with a smile: "Okay, professor, it's like this, I found a diary - guess who the owner of this diary is?"

Who knew that Dumbledore was relieved after hearing the diary, and took out the candy from his sleeve and stuffed it into his mouth. The old god asked calmly, "Is it Tom?"

"Yes... eh? How do you know?" Louis was startled.

Dumbledore smacked the honey candy mysteriously, and didn't say a word. After a while, he seemed to have enjoyed enough, and then he said leisurely: "Fifty years ago, Tom reported to the school that Hagrid kept dangerous pets and caused people to die. , but we all know that acromantulas usually kill people in a brutal way—a death like Miss Warren’s with a whole body is obviously not done by acromantulas.”

"Since it wasn't the acromantula's work, I obviously put my suspicions on Tom - of course, it's also related to my partiality to Hagrid, he is not the kind of person who dares to act. "

"So... the scheming frog has been touching your stomach?" Louis pretended to hold his glasses, pointing forward with one hand, like a certain elementary school student of death.

Dumbledore showed an interested look: "Wouldn't you think you can speak Japanese?"

"I can speak eight foreign languages, professor." Louis said with a smile: "After all, people always have to improve their posture, and they can't appear to be too attached to clothes."

"You're right, Louis." Dumbledore smiled heartily, and said as they walked with Louis: "Yes, there is only one truth, and that is that Tom is framing Hagrid—as for his motives, I think It is very likely that he was the one who opened the secret room, and that monster was also raised by him."

"But I have no evidence, and the Ministry of Magic released Hagrid in the end because there was no evidence... But, you know the special circumstances of that era, and Hagrid's broken wand has never been... Sigh..."

"This is your fault, Professor." Louis began to seek justice for Hagrid: "You said that you knew that Hagrid was innocent, and the evidence from the Ministry of Magic was insufficient, so why didn't you vouch for him? I'm afraid no one will question your strength and status, right?"

Dumbledore looked at Louis with the eyes of a fool, and said leisurely after a while: "Louis, I really can't think that you can say such a thing... Well, I can only say that my identity is very sensitive, After I defeated Grindelwald, what I received was not the imaginary praise or other things, but the suspicion from the Ministry of Magic, and my words and deeds are likely to be used by them to attack me."

"It should be said that being too strong is also a distressing thing. They are afraid that there will be another person like Grindelwald in this world, so..."

"Then I don't think the same as you." Louis clicked his tongue twice and said with a smile: "I think it's because they don't want to have an extra emperor on their heads."

"It's good to know some things, and it's meaningless to say them." Dumbledore looked very open, and he raised his shoulders indifferently: "I don't have any ambitions, and I don't want to be too emperor. This is the last point of my life. Hobbies, that is, running Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry well, watching you grow up happily, that's enough."

Louis' words pierced Lao Deng's old heart.

"It seems that someone has been allowing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to be poor... I see that the students are very happy in school, but how happy they are in school, they cry when they meet a dark wizard." Louis said vigorously Cursing his lips, expressing his dissatisfaction with Dumbledore's childlike behavior.

"Oh, it's my negligence, but isn't there you?" Dumbledore smiled kindly, and asked about the diary again.

Louis briefly talked about the control of Tom's soul. Dumbledore did not express support or objection, but said that it would be fine.

"The basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, what are you going to do?" Dumbledore asked.

"There is no good solution for the time being. After all, we can't kill him directly." Louis said with some concern: "If we go directly to solve the trouble, we may startle the snake, and if the real mastermind behind the scenes is dormant, we will lose a usable one." clues."

"But if this snake is allowed to wreak havoc in the school, in case some students die because of it like Miss Warren, the consequences...can you afford it?" Dumbledore asked with burning eyes.

"Ah, here..." Louis said with a chuckle, scratching his paws, "Isn't there still you, principal, don't say that the first two students are just petrified without your handwriting."

"You noticed it quite quickly." Principal Dumbledore chuckled and said, "Yes, I can only create all kinds of coincidences, and try to keep Lovegood and Creevey as safe as possible, so as not to let the person behind the scenes happen. Guard mentality." He thought for a while, and then said: "I think, your time may be running out, the school board is already ready to move, and when another classmate is petrified, they will definitely join hands with the Ministry of Magic to report I put pressure on and forcibly removed my position as principal, before that, I hope you can find out who is behind the scenes."

"I see, Professor." Louis said in a deep voice.

"Okay, I won't say any more extra words, I hope your investigation goes well, my dear Louis." After finishing speaking, Dumbledore shook his palm slightly, hummed a little tune and walked away.

Looking at his back, he really looks like an old bee, especially since his mouth is still humming aloud, the sense of sight is too strong.

Louis shrugged and had nothing to say. He looked at Catherine behind him and suddenly asked, "Little Moon, do you have any ideas?"

"What can I think?" Catherine snorted softly, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have gone to the secret room and burned that snake to ashes..."

"I'm sorry, little moon, I had to do this." Louis sighed, and now a sense of powerlessness in his heart was born in his heart.

Be sure to eat the hemp snake soup!

A certain horned snake sneezed.

"I know you have difficulties." Catherine opened her arms, held Louis in her arms, and whispered in his ear: "No matter what you do, I will support you..."

"Little Moon..." Louis hugged his girlfriend's soft body tightly with his backhand, sniffing the fragrance of Catherine's hair, feeling the rare tranquility.

It should be said that it is much more convenient for Louis who has moved into the new office. At least the class representatives of the three colleges don't have to feel awkward when they look for him again.

After all, they were not students of Slytherin. Even though the students of Slytherin didn't dare to say anything under the pressure of Louis' majesty, their attitudes were still a bit cold after all.

Prejudice is difficult to eradicate, especially the deep-rooted academic views of hundreds of years, which cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Lewis didn't expect to dispel the stereotype either.

His purpose is to cultivate some useful people for himself, and it is not a good thing for his subordinates to be too united.

No leader likes the people under him to be monolithic. Of course, this kind of statement cannot be said in the open.

As long as there are people, there must be disputes.

Louis, who was sitting in the office, liked this feeling quite a lot, and he asked Emeris to buy a lot of philosophy books from the Muggle world all the way, in order to fill his own bookshelf and replenish his knowledge from time to time On the other hand, he intends to show the Sorting Hat a look.

Time for the old hat to have some fun with the old hat sitting dusty on the bookshelf in the headmaster's office.

If a person does not think, the brain will become rigid, and the hat does not think, and the same is true-who said this bullshit?Have you ever seen a hat that can think?

Louis, who had no clue about the attack, was holding the book and planned to go to the principal's office to check the Sorting Hat. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Draco who was coming.

"Draco? What's the matter?" Louis dodged to avoid the rash Draco, and Draco stumbled and split a fork on the ground.

He ignored the pain and handed Louis the Quibbler from last week.

"Look, Louis, what I found..." Draco bared his teeth but said excitedly to Louis.

Louis took the magazine, and found that it was singing the opposite tune as always-the protagonists of this issue are obviously our genuine Defense Against the Dark Arts professor-Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart, and our showy Louis.

Uncharacteristically, the article did not contradict the Daily Prophet, but criticized Lockhart emphatically, saying that he is not worthy of his name, embroidered pillows, other than gold and jade, he almost pointed his nose and called you a cutie.

As for Louis, he was not stingy with compliments, and Louis couldn't stand it-I didn't give Mr. Lovegood any money...

"So?" Louis shook the magazine, frowning and asked, "You take this magazine... wait, when is this magazine?"

His tone was a little hasty.

"It was from last week, just a few days before Luna's accident." Draco pointed to the date on the back of the magazine, and Louis turned it over, and it was indeed as Draco said.

Louis tapped his palms, took two steps back and forth, and said to Draco, "You go... well, go and call Potter and the others."

"Okay!" Draco turned and ran.

After a while, he brought the Potter trio to Louis' office.

After the door was closed, Louis lowered his voice and said, "Listen, now there is a glorious and arduous task for you."

The interest of the three of them was obviously raised—it was glorious and difficult, and it was Louis who said it, so it must be very exciting.

Young people, especially the trio, are all playful and playful. For exciting tasks, how can you control yourself? Look at that Harry, the light in his eyes almost catches up with Conan when he saw the crime live.

"Say it, Louis! We definitely didn't come here for the excitement of the mission! Just hurry up and announce the mission goal!" Ron obviously didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and he didn't realize that he was one of them.

But Ron is actually stupid and bold, except for the matter of "following the spider", I haven't seen him coaxed a few times at other times.

"Okay, okay." Louis calmed the excitement of the three, whispering about the mission plan.

"Listen, I have some clues about the heir of Slytherin." Louis whispered to the trio, "However, it's not convenient for me to come forward on this matter, so... I still need your help."

When she heard "The Heir of Slytherin", even Hermione couldn't sit still, she looked around excitedly, and then stared at Louis closely: "Louis, just tell me, who is your suspect?" ?”

"Let me ask you, have you ever heard of compound potion?" Louis first asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

As a top student, Hermione didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "Compound Potion is a kind of potion that can make the drinker look like other people. Making this kind of complex and challenging potion is very important for adult children. It is also a challenge for wizards... This kind of potion is very advanced, generally speaking, the production is divided into two stages, and the entire production process takes about a month."

"That's right, one point for Gryffindor." Louis blinked and sneakily added a point for Gryffindor.

"However, professor, you mentioned compound potion...do you want us to use compound potion to spy on information?" The smart Hermione immediately realized what Louis meant.
