Jing Shen Tian Si
A white streamer fell in front of everyone, and Dumbledore looked at the wizards in the barrier with a smile on his face, especially when he saw Fox standing on Harry's shoulder, he smiled even more happily.
"You guys gave me a big surprise and solved a problem that has plagued Hogwarts for decades."
"Professor, I, we couldn't help at all." Harry said intermittently, "It was Aaron who killed the basilisk and defeated Tom Riddle."
Dumbledore nodded, then looked at Aaron who was being supported, his eyes widened unexpectedly.
What's happening here?
The last time I saw him was a middle-level senior magician, but it has only been a long time since his strength has risen to a level, which is too fast!
"You are stronger and more talented than I thought."
Hermione trembled slightly. Having touched the ring, she knew very well that Aaron's strength was at least twice what he seemed.
"Thank you for the compliment, but it's innate, and I can't help it." Aaron said indifferently.
"Principal, let's talk about it when we go back. Can you break this barrier first?" Professor McGonagall said.
Dumbledore smiled slightly, observed the off-white curtain wall, and quickly locked his target on the two green magic crystals.
"It's amazing, Riddle is worthy of being the most outstanding student Hogwarts has ever seen."
"Principal, can you hurry up." Snape was a little impatient, "My student is still waiting to be healed!"
"Don't be impatient, Severus." Dumbledore tore a hole in the barrier with his wand, then stretched his wand in, knocked down two magic crystals with a spell, and the barrier followed the magic crystal crumble and disappear.
Aaron's eyes widened in disbelief. Although Dumbledore's way of breaking the barrier was a bit simple, judging from the calmness of the barrier tearing, I'm afraid the four professors combined couldn't compare to him. Voldemort was so afraid.
Harry and the others were also dumbfounded, but they felt a greater sense of security than being surprised.
With such a headmaster sitting at Hogwarts, they are definitely the luckiest batch of students.
"Tell me what happened in detail after you go back." Dumbledore said, "This is what we all need to know."
"That..." Aaron weakly raised his right hand, "I won't participate, I need to go to the school hospital."
"Of course, Madam Pomfrey will be waiting for you there."
Aaron nodded, then turned around and gave several people a meaningful look: Say as little as you can.
The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed in their hearts.
They all knew that Aaron wanted to keep a low profile, but now that everything was settled, it was impossible to hide.
The process of solving the case is almost understood by several professors. As for the process of the battle, Dumbledore can analyze it at a glance at the scene of the crime. You can't expect them not to go to the secret room!
"Okay! I was negligent." Aaron sighed slightly, glanced at the four professors, and finally placed on Dumbledore, "Principal, I have a small request, can I try my best to Less presence?
For example, four students worked together to find the legendary secret room, and worked together with several professors to eradicate the basilisk and the real culprit behind it. "
"This...is not very fair to you!" Dumbledore's eyes flashed brightly, "You are a great hero of Hogwarts, and you should be respected by everyone."
Aaron pouted, he didn't believe that Dumbledore didn't know what he meant.
It's okay to be in the limelight, but the problem is that this time the limelight is too much.
Killing the basilisk is fine, but if word spreads about defeating Tom Riddle, he will be pushed to the forefront. What will Voldemort think when he finds out?
A 13-year-old wizard can actually defeat him at the age of 16. His attitude towards him may change from admiration to solicitation to jealousy. After that, he will have to live in fear!
"Just talk about it! Can it be done?" Aaron looked directly into Dumbledore's blue eyes, "If it doesn't work, I can take a bit of a loss and ask my uncle to talk to Cornelius Fudge."
Hearing this, Dumbledore had a look of helplessness on his face.
This kid is too shrewd to know how to use the Ministry of Magic to suppress him. It seems that there is still a long way to go to completely pull the Gaius family to the opposite of Voldemort.
"It can be done, but you also need to know that your achievements cannot be erased."
"That's enough." Aaron didn't take it seriously, as long as he wasn't the prettiest boy, Harry Potter, a famous character, would automatically attract everyone's attention.
"By the way, I just saw that Lockhart seemed to be under the petrification spell. Who did this?"
"I did it, Albus." Professor McGonagall looked angrily, "Gilderoy Lockhart is just a bastard, he... he is a liar.
All in all, he is not suitable for teaching at Hogwarts, but Azkaban is quite suitable for him. "
Dumbledore frowned thoughtfully. He knew Professor McGonagall well. It seemed that Lockhart had a big problem if he could make her so angry.
It's just that the Defense Against the Dark Arts class has to recruit a teacher again. This class is too exhausting for the teacher, one a year!
Harry and others were called to the principal's office, and the Weasleys were also waiting there. The news of Ginny's accident really frightened them both.
Aaron was sent to the school hospital by Professor Snape himself, and Madam Pomfrey was surprised to see her covered in injuries.
"How did you do this?"
"Eh...it's really dangerous, just think I was struck by lightning!"
Snape glared at him, and then looked at Madam Pomfrey, "Please take a closer look, he is seriously injured, try not to leave any sequelae."
Madam Pomfrey helped Aaron to the hospital bed. Next to him was a row of petrified patients. Colin, Justin, and Penello were all waiting for the mandrake to treat him.
"How could this be?" Madam Pomfrey checked for a few minutes, the expression on her face changed from worry to surprise, followed by curiosity, and finally stunned.
Looking at Madam Pomfrey's wonderful expression changes, Snape couldn't help feeling a little more anxious, "Can he be cured?"
"Professor Snape, I don't know what to say, but he doesn't seem to need treatment.
I'll put some bandages on him, and a night's sleep should heal. "
"are you joking?"
"I'm not joking, Mr. Gaius's physical fitness is terrifying, far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
His injuries were not as serious as they looked. Madam Pomfrey said solemnly, "and the speed of self-healing is very fast. "
Snape was stunned, and looked at Aaron meaningfully, "Does your family have any special blood?"
"I don't think so." Aaron said dumbfounded, "You forgot that when I joined the Quidditch team, I was injured like a normal person.
It may be that I was forced to soak in the liquid medicine for two months during the summer vacation, and then..."
"What's the recipe?" Madam Pomfrey asked impatiently, but she stood there in embarrassment after she finished asking.
No matter how you look at it, this is a secret of the Gaius family, and it is not something she, a doctor, should inquire about.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question."
"It's understandable, just don't talk nonsense."
"I know how to measure." Madam Pomfrey smiled, "I'll get you a bandage."
"Since you're fine, I'll go first.
But as your teacher, I have to remind you, try not to stand out in the future. "Professor Snape said seriously, and then left the school hospital.
Soon, Madam Pomfrey came back with a roll of bandages, and tightly wrapped several joints on Aaron's body.
"It'll be all right, and you'll be healed after a night's rest."
"Thank you very much."
"This is what I should do." Madam Pomfrey stood up, "You have a good rest, I have to help Professor Sprout brew the Mandrake potion, there are still a few petrified patients over there!
It was originally planned to let them recover tonight, but something happened in the middle, so I can only wait for tomorrow. "
On the other side, the principal's office.
The Weasleys held their daughter tightly in their arms, and then kept thanking Harry and the others.
The three of Harry just smiled and said nothing. They didn't play much role in the whole thing, which is well deserved.
Lockhart was removed from the petrification spell, but was pinned to a chair like a prisoner.
Everyone knew about his deeds and unanimously agreed to hand him over to the Ministry of Magic for investigation.
The one who was most angry was Mrs. Weasley. She was a loyal fan of Lockhart's books, but today the glorious image of her idol completely collapsed in her heart.
After Professor Snape came back, he told everyone that Aaron was fine, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Harry also told the professors exactly what happened, from the strange voice he could hear, to their suspicion of Aaron, to knowing most of the clues, and then the Forbidden Forest and Aragog.
Of course, Riddle's diary was not left behind either.
However, he cleverly avoided the process of preparing the compound potion. He didn't have the courage to tell Snape about sneaking into his office to steal the materials in front of Snape.
"It's unbelievable that you have violated countless school rules.
What you did is enough to get you fired. Dumbledore looked at the people who bowed their heads in silence, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "But you also discovered the Chamber of Secrets and received a special contribution award to the school." "
Hearing this, the three of them raised their heads excitedly. This is a deja vu.
"Principal, what about Ginny?" Harry asked anxiously, "What will happen to her?"
"I know what you are worried about." Dumbledore picked up Tom Riddle's diary, "Miss Ginny Weasley will not be punished, she should rest well.
Fortunately, the holiday is coming soon, and she has plenty of time to get rid of this terrible psychological shadow. "
"What do you mean by psychological shadow?" Mrs. Weasley asked puzzled.
"Riddle's diary," Ginny sobbed. "I've been writing in it. It's got me."
"What?" Arthur Weasley was shocked. "Didn't I tell you not to believe in things that can think independently? This diary is obviously a black magic tool."
"Calm down, Arthur.
Many wizards older than her had been deceived by Voldemort, and it seemed only natural that an innocent little witch would be deceived, that he was capable of such. "
"V..." Mrs. Weasley opened her mouth in astonishment, "But what does this have to do with him?"
"Tom Riddle was Voldemort 50 years ago," said Harry.
"You know?" Dumbledore looked at Harry unexpectedly, "Few people know that he used to be called Tom Riddle."
"Aaron discovered it, and we don't know how he knew about it." Ron said, "The mysterious man paid a lot of attention to Aaron, and proposed to recruit him several times..."
Halfway through the conversation, Harry and Hermione suddenly realized something, one gave him a veiled look, and the other stepped on the back of his foot.
The corners of Ron's eyes twitched slightly, and he immediately added: "But Aaron sternly rejected it."
"Is that so?" Dumbledore pondered for a few seconds, then slowly turned his gaze to Snape, "Severus, you..."
"Principal, I think your worries are completely unnecessary." Snape interrupted him immediately, as if he knew what Dumbledore was going to say, "Gaius will never have any contact with him, otherwise they will almost None of them will come out of the secret room safely."
"Um...Actually, I just want to congratulate you on having a good student you can be proud of.
Snape: …
I don't know you yet?Do you think I believe it or not?
"You guys gave me a big surprise and solved a problem that has plagued Hogwarts for decades."
"Professor, I, we couldn't help at all." Harry said intermittently, "It was Aaron who killed the basilisk and defeated Tom Riddle."
