True Slytherin Descendant
The surrounding scenes switched again, and Sherlock saw the scene of Hagrid being taken away by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic from the rapidly flashing scene.
He also saw Headmaster Dippet, who said to a reporter of the Daily Prophet who came to interview: "The Chamber of Secrets is just a legend, and the death of the student is just an accident."
I also saw the Wizengamot, where the chief magician convicted young Hagrid in court, stripped him of his wizard status, and made the Aurors snap his wand on the spot!
After countless pictures flashed by, a new scene appeared again.
This time it was a rainy night.
The location is in front of a dilapidated wooden house in a dilapidated town.
The young Dumbledore stood outside the wooden hut with a black umbrella. The raindrops falling from the sky met the umbrella's surface, making a muffled sound of "bang, bang, bang".
Sherlock and Dumbledore couldn't feel the rain from the sky. The pea-sized raindrops passed through their bodies. For them, the whole world was nothing.
Standing beside young Dumbledore, they could see the scene inside the wooden house.
The wooden hut had no door, and the wind blew into the house with rain, wrapped in a tattered blanket, Hagrid, shivering from the cold, watched the young Dumbledore cry bitterly.
"I...I didn't do it professor! I didn't kill the girl...really not me...really not Aragog! Not us… we didn't do it..."
He was curled up in the leaking log cabin huddled in a corner sobbing.
Young Dumbledore asked with a clear look of impatience on his face.
"where is your family?"
"Mom... Mom abandoned Dad long ago... Dad didn't make it through this year... He died of illness... I buried him in the woods... fortunately, he didn't see me being expelled..." Hagrid cried out
Looking at Hagrid's current state, young Dumbledore's eyes gradually became firmer, he said very seriously.
"You must tell me the truth, Hagrid, what was that creature you kept at Hogwarts at that time!"
Hagrid shuddered, his eyes clearly showing struggle and hesitation.
He was afraid. At this time, he didn't have complete trust in Dumbledore. He was afraid that after exposing Aragog, he would be killed.
"You have to trust me, Hagrid!" Dumbledore's words were strong, "I can help you, but I need to know everything you do."
Hagrid's last struggle was over, as Dumbledore said, he must believe him, otherwise if it continues like this, not only will he starve to death, but Aragog will also be unable to control himself and he might go out and hurt someone!
"It's…It's an ac-acromantula! Aragog, it's an acromantula!"
With Dumbledore's erudition, he knew exactly what this creature was.
"Where is it now?"
Hagrid sniffed, he called.
"Aragog! Come out! Aragog!"
On a dark rainy night, a huge spider slowly walked out from the rain curtain and came to Dumbledore.
Its body was as huge as Hagrid, it has eight beady eyes, and it could speak human language.
"I have never hurt anyone. Hagrid regards me as his friend. I have never hurt humans before, nor will I now, nor will I in the future!"
Dumbledore looked at the wound on Aragog's huge buttocks and recognized that it was the one he had left with a spell at Hogwarts before.
The appearance of Aragog proved that what Hagrid said was true.
He is not the one who opened the secret room. Although Aragog is an eight-eyed spider, he also belongs to the xxxxx danger level of magical creatures.
But in any case, it can't directly kill people without harming the human body.
This is completely inconsistent with the cause of death of the dead girl.
On a rainy night, the young Dumbledore drew out his wand.
Just when Hagrid was terrified, and the eight-eyed spider Aragog was alert and ready to attack, he cast a waterproof spell on Hagrid, who was soaked all over.
"Come with me, Hagrid, I'll help you find a place to settle down."
The young Dumbledore stretched out his hand to Hagrid, Hagrid looked at him tremblingly, then slowly stretched out his hand and took the hand.
The memory freezes again.
Some short pictures passed by quickly, and the young Dumbledore brought Hagrid back to Hogwarts. With the opposition of almost all the professors in the school and the silence of Headmaster Dippet, he defied all opinions and let him be. To be gamekeeper at Hogwarts.
Finally, the whole world began to shatter, Sherlock stood up suddenly and then took two steps back.
He returned to the headmaster's room at Hogwarts. Dumbledore had already sat back in the chair and took a sip of the still-warm tea.
"So Hagrid wasn't the perpetrator, the real problem is the student who exposed him, the boy prefect named Tom?"
Sherlock also sat back opposite Dumbledore and asked with a frown. Dumbledore put down the teacup and revealed Tom's identity to Sherlock
"The student's full name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, who is more well known as the Dark Lord, Lord Voldemort. "
Sherlock's pupils shrank, and his whole body froze.
He still remembers what Voldemort looked like, an old monster with an almost complete mastery of the Dark Arts
Who would have thought that that handsome and calm boy would turn out to be such a despicable person in the future?
"So, he is the Heir of Slytherin!"
"I have traced Tom's family tree, and his father is indeed just an ordinary Muggle with nothing out of the ordinary. But his maternal grandfather is the last known remnant of the Slytherin family, so he does have Salazar blood flowing through him."
Dumbledore's face was solemn.
"I just suspected it at first, and when he had begun to threaten the safety of the magic world, I finally found out that the person who opened the Chamber was Tom. The same is true now. There may be more than one descendant of Slytherin, but Tom is the only one who knows the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets."
Sherlock muttered to himself following the information provided by Dumbledore.
"But Tom himself is definitely not in Hogwarts, so something took his place and opened the Chamber of Secrets..."
He stared at Dumbledore.
"It's the diary again! That diary is what he left behind, so you guessed at the beginning that the person who sent that diary to Hogwarts was Lucius Malfoy! Because he was a Death Eater and managed to escape punishment, and he has a close relationship with He Who Must Not Be Named!"
Dumbledore crossed his hands on the desk and said in a deep voice.
"But Malfoy doesn't know who the diary is in the hands of now."
