Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

In the face of Cousin Clark's question, Ron still wanted to put on a pretense to sway the other party's appetite.

But under Clark's gaze, he was quickly defeated.

"It's Tom Riddle!" Ron said excitedly, swallowing the food in his mouth, "I just said it felt familiar when I heard the name,"

"Tom Riddle had a special contribution to the school 50 years ago!" He expected a look of surprise on Clark's face, but he was disappointed.

Clark didn't seem to be surprised by this.

"Hogwarts will recruit all the young wizards of the British age, and from the name, it should be the child born to Merope Gaunt and old Tom Riddle.

No wonder Old Tom Riddle finally got rid of the influence of the curse. It seems that after Merope Gaunt became pregnant, his IQ decreased, thinking that he could rely on the child to restrain Old Tom, so he solved the curse.

Unfortunately, she miscalculated. "

"But how did you know?" Clark asked Ron.

"It's confinement! That time Filch asked me to wipe the medals in the showroom," Ron said indignantly, "I just happened to be hiccups and spit slugs on his special contribution medal, if you spend a whole Wipe the slime off a name for hours and you'll remember that name too."

Harry also said at this time, "So the Gaunt family is not dead, Tom Riddle studied at Hogwarts 50 years ago, and has made outstanding contributions, and now his grandson may also be here. in school."

"Aha," Ron whimpered, "another Parseltongue. Looks like there are more suspects."

Harry glanced at Ron dissatisfiedly, "But Hogwarts doesn't have any student with 'Riddle' in his name now, of course he may change his name, but I'd like to know, he's a student of Hogwarts What special contribution did you make to get this reward?"

"It could be anything," said Ron casually, "maybe he got thirty owl certificates, or rescued a teacher from the giant squid's claws. Maybe he murdered Myrtle, that must make everyone I feel good about it..."

Clark secretly praised Ron's crow's mouth in his heart, Myrtle was really killed by Tom Riddle.

And then Harry saw the focused look on Hermione's face, "Have you found anything, Hermione?"

"What's wrong?" said Ron, looking at Harry and then at Hermione.

Hermione raised her head and looked at Clark first, seeing that he had no objection, so she said softly, "That's right, the secret room was opened fifty years ago."

"What?" Harry and Ron shouted in unison, seeing curious glances from the little wizards around, and quickly lowered their voices.

"I do not know how."

"Who was that time?"

Clark said slowly at this time: "This incident happened fifty years ago, and even your parents may not know the specific situation at that time. However, in the old files of the Daily Prophet, I still found something. ."

He looked at Harry and Ron, "The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a little wizard born in a Muggle family died. It wasn't just a so-called petrification, a so-called monster, no kidding!"

Ron and Harry opened their mouths and couldn't close them for a long time.

"So are you scared?"

"No!" Harry shook his head decisively. "I'm not afraid, but do you know that the person who opened the secret room last time was caught?"

"Of course," Clark nodded. "According to the file, he was caught and fired, and the person who caught the murderer also received a medal."

When Harry and Ron heard this, they suddenly had a vague idea in their hearts, but they couldn't grasp it, which made them very irritable.

"So who is the murderer?" they demanded.

"It didn't say on the file, but Hermione apparently guessed it." He looked at Hermione.

"I didn't know who it was originally." Hermione "But combined with Ron's words, I have a guess that the murderer who was caught back then should be Hagrid."

"what?"

"impossible!"

Ron and Harry said in unison again, this time their reaction was even greater.

Clark and Hermione had to drag them both to the lawn outside the castle.

"Don't worry, just listen to me." Hermione said as she walked.

"The Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, wasn't it?"

Harry and Ron nodded.

"The guy who opened the secret room last time was fired fifty years ago, wasn't he?"

The two nodded.

"Tom Riddle won the award for his special contribution to the school fifty years ago, didn't he?"

Keep nodding.

"Hagrid was expelled from school fifty years ago, didn't he?"

No one spoke, Harry and Ron stood there, they felt that their brains were not enough, but the several conditions listed by Hermione were connected together, and they all pointed to a fact.

That is Hagrid was expelled from the school for opening the Chamber of Secrets.

"But...but..." Ron said incoherently.

Harry quickly reacted and said excitedly: "No, Hagrid is not that kind of person, and you said, Tom Riddle is the descendant of Slytherin, and his mother is from the Gaunt family! "

"Ha, you finally figured out the problem," Hermione said, "so let's make a bold assumption."

"Fifty years ago, Tom Riddle, a descendant of Slytherin and heir to the Gaunt family, came to Hogwarts and, by chance, found the secret room left by his ancestors.

Tom Riddle discovered the treasure left by his ancestors in the secret room, took control of the monster in the secret room, released it, and killed a little wizard.

The incident caused a huge reaction at Hogwarts, as Tom Riddle first reported Hagrid for fear of being caught by the professors. "

"No, why did he report Hagrid," Ron interrupted her suddenly, "and didn't the professors at the time suspect it?"

"Ron, use your head," Hermione rolled her eyes. "Think about what kind of person Hagrid is,"

Harry and Ron reacted immediately, they had long known how much Hagrid had a soft spot for those gigantic monsters.

When they were in first grade, Hagrid tried to feed a fire dragon in his cabin, and the three-headed dog he called "Louis" was something they couldn't forget for a long time.

"Hagrid must have had some kind of large pet at the school at the time, and Tom Riddle just happened to find it, which gave him the opportunity to frame it.

And even if it didn't, Hagrid, who was still a teenager back then, had heard that there was a monster hidden somewhere in the castle, I think he would have tried his best to take a look at it.

At this time, as long as you report to the professor and arrest him, things will be easy. "

"What a brilliant reasoning."

Clark clapped in unison, and Harry and Ron immediately thought this must be the truth.

After all, no matter from the information they know now, or from personal feelings, they don't think Hagrid will be the one who let out the monster to hurt the students.

Although they had only been with the tall half-giant for more than a year, Hagrid's kindness and warmheartedness had made Harry a good friend.

How could he not trust his best friend?

"Then we should quickly tell Hagrid and the professor about this, he was wronged, he is not the murderer!" Harry said hurriedly, wishing he could go to Headmaster Dumbledore now.

Clark stopped him, however.

"It's not that simple, Harry, like Stewart, you have no evidence. The so-called truth is just Hermione's speculation. Fifty years have passed since that incident."

"But is it just watching Hagrid get wronged like this?" Harry was a little dissatisfied. "Besides, if you tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this, I believe he will believe it."

"Headmaster Dumbledore would indeed believe it, but so what?" Clark did not deny his words.

"Can he still publish in the newspapers with a big fanfare, is Hagrid wronged? It's all fifty years ago, who cares? Can Tom Riddle still be found? catch up?"

Clark's series of questions left Harry speechless.

"But is that so..."

"It's nothing, but you're telling Hagrid about it now, just to add to his troubles. Doesn't he know he's been wronged? Doesn't Professor Dumbledore know it?" Clark's words left them at a loss Be right.

At this time, the four of them unknowingly walked to the **** not far from Hagrid's hut.

They looked down and saw Hagrid coming out of the house with a bucket in his hand, happily watering the vegetables in the field.

Harry wanted to rush to tell him that he was wronged when he was expelled from the school, and that the real murderer was Tom Riddle.

However, looking at the smile on Hagrid's face, Harry only felt that his feet seemed to weigh thousands of pounds.

Yes, Hagrid is obviously very happy and relaxed now, but he wants to tell him this bad news, and there is no solution yet, then this is just adding to his troubles.

He subconsciously took a step back, out of Hagrid's line of sight.

"This matter can't be left alone. We have to find the person who opened the secret room, bring the murderer to justice, and return Hagrid's innocence."

Harry looked at Clark with a firm look, and Ron nodded in agreement.

Hermione was silent. She and Clark both knew what the truth was. The murderer was still there last time, but this time...

"Yes, rest assured, we won't let the real murderer go unpunished," Clark said, agreeing with Harry.

This made him even more emotional and full of motivation.

However, the development of this world does not revolve around him alone. Many things that we think are extremely important may actually be as light as a feather in this world.

Harry and the others were eager to embark on a reversal adventure, but their energy was quickly exhausted by the heavy study and training.

When the faint sun began to shine on Hogwarts normally again, the mood of the people in the castle began to become optimistic.

There hasn't been a single attack since Mrs Norris and Peeves were petrified.

On the contrary, because of the disappearance of these two guys, the little wizards suddenly felt much more relaxed.

No more mistaken student gets stared at by a cat and then calls to Filch.

Young wizards in the lower grades don't have to worry about being hit on the head with a cane thrown by Peeves, or locked in a toilet while walking on the road.

However, Ms. Pomfrey is pleased to report that the de-petrified mandrakes have become moody and taciturn, which means they are rapidly leaving their childhood.

This is not good news, the little wizards even began to pray, let the cat and Peeves stay in the school hospital like that.

"As soon as their acne is gone, they can be re-transplanted."

One afternoon, Harry heard Madam Pomfrey say softly to Filch, "Then, it won't be long before you cut them off and put them on the fire, and your Lady Norris will be back soon. "

The heir to Slytherin may have lost his courage. After all, teachers and students in the school are now on high alert and suspicious all day long.

To open the secret room at this time, the risk will definitely increase, just like fifty years ago, the other party may have given up.

Harry was a little disappointed, but at the same time relieved.

After this period of useless busywork, he is not as devoted to this matter as he was at the beginning. After all, he still has his own life and studies, and it is impossible to focus all his energy on catching this Slytherin heir.

Of course, not everyone thinks so.

Hufflepuff's Ernie McMillan disagreed with this delightful view, still believing that Harry was the culprit, especially in the dueling club where "the fox's tail was accidentally exposed".

Gilderoy Lockhart also seemed to think that he stopped those attacks~www.readwn.com~, so he happily announced that he would boost the morale of the students and eliminate those bad memories.

By the time of breakfast on February 14th, everyone knew what Lockhart was doing to boost morale.

Early in the morning, when Clark and Neville had finished their morning jog and walked into the auditorium together, he thought he had gone through the wrong door.

The walls around the auditorium were covered with large pink flowers, and to make matters worse, many heart-shaped confetti kept falling from the light blue ceiling.

Clark and Neville walked towards the Gryffindor table with a surprised look on their faces, Ron sat there with a look of disgust, and Hermione seemed to be in high spirits.

"What's the matter?" Clark asked them, sitting down and brushing the confetti from his bacon.

Ron pointed to the teacher's table, and Clark saw Lockhart in a bright pink robe at a glance. Well, it seems that this is what he calls a "surprise".

What a surprise to his mother!
