Chapter 134 The end of the matter
The originally gorgeously decorated secret room has now become a ruin, and there is a big hole blasted out in front of the huge and ancient statue.
The surrounding walls continued to make crackling sounds, as if they would collapse at any time.
After receiving the information from the stone tablet, Wright confirmed that the young version of Voldemort who had been harassing him had completely disappeared.
He immediately felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt tired and sat down on the ground.
"Wow!"
The light bird in the sky flew over Wright, but its power was consumed a lot, and the light spots it cast were not as bright as at the beginning.
Before Wright had time to rest, golden-red flames appeared above the secret room and a big bird flew out.
The gorgeous feathers and long tail feathers make it look like a fiery red peacock.
"Wow!"
Its dancing posture in the air attracted the light bird hovering above Wright, which immediately let out a long cry and started chasing it.
"Phoenix Fox? Is Old Dumbledore here?"
Looking around the secret room that looked like a ruin, Wright did not see the old man with white beard. He did not look for him anymore, but looked up into the sky.
Watch the peacock-like Fox and the eagle-like light birds flying in the sky, making their sweet sounds.
Wright just lay on the ground and watched the birds' performance in the air with ease.
"Did you forget something?"
A gentle voice came from the entrance of the secret room, awakening Wright who was fascinated by the performance.
"Forgot something?"
Wright, who was lying down, stood up immediately and looked at Dumbledore who was walking slowly from the door with confusion.
At the same time, Fawkes in the sky let out a long cry as if saying goodbye, then turned into a flame and disappeared from his original place, only to reappear on Dumbledore's shoulder.
"Wow!"
The light bird flew back to Wright's sky, and its clear voice seemed to tell him that he had indeed forgotten something.
Wright got up from the ground, frowned and thought, muttering: "Forgot something, Harry? ...Lockhart?"
After reading the names of everyone, he remembered that two people had been swallowed and had not been released yet, so he shouted out in a slight panic.
"Ah! Ginny, Fred! Hurry up and spit them all out."
After receiving the command, the light bird began to tremble all over, pretending to vomit, and spit out two light balls from its mouth one after another.
Ginny and Fred were wrapped up and slowly floated in the air, with peaceful sleeping expressions on their faces.
After spitting out both of them, the light bird shrank to the size of a diary, and then landed on Light's shoulder just like Fox did.
Looking at the light shield gradually disappearing, Fawkes on Dumbledore's shoulder flew up.
"Fawkes is taking us away. It's different from 'Apparition', it's a little special. Don't be nervous."
"Also, I've taken Harry and the others back. You're the last passenger!"
After reminding Wright, without waiting for him to speak, Dumbledore ordered Fawkes to start the car. There was a flash of fire, and everyone disappeared from the spot.
After Wright felt a warm and calm feeling, four people and two birds appeared in the principal's office. The room was very quiet, but there were many people!
Professor McGonagall was staring at Lockhart, who was trembling like a quail, and it seemed that she wanted to poke a few holes in him with her wand.
Lucius and Fudge stood aside, staring coldly at Hagrid, who was with Harry and the other two!
As soon as Dumbledore appeared, he attracted everyone's attention and everyone looked over.
"Ginny, Fred!" Ron, attracted by the ball of light floating in the air, shouted and walked over.
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Weasley. The one holding them mentally bound has been eliminated."
"Minerva, help me get them to the infirmary. They will be awake in no time."
Dumbledore waved his wand and the two men floated in front of Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall glanced at Lucius and Fudge, who had no expression on their faces, and agreed softly, "Okay, Headmaster!"
After Professor McGonagall led the others away, Dumbledore began to order again: "Hagrid, take Mr. Potter and the others away!"
"Principal, I..."
"Go! What happens here has nothing to do with you anymore!" Dumbledore said kindly and easily.
Hagrid and his group left, looking back every few steps.
At this time, there were suddenly fewer people in the room, and Dumbledore began to speak again.
But this time his words were no longer gentle, but full of oppression: "Gilderoy Lockhart, do you plead guilty?"
"Yes...it's me! But..."
Without waiting for Lockhart to explain, Fudge came out and said to Dumbledore with an official smile:
"We will get to the bottom of this, so I hope to bring him back to the Ministry."
Under Lockhart's pleading gaze, Dumbledore spoke calmly, as if knocking:
"I hope that this time the Ministry of Magic can investigate everything thoroughly and not just muddle through."
Fudge put on a stiff smile and said, "Okay, I understand!"
Watching Lockhart being taken away, Wright suddenly had a thought:
"Is it possible that Tom chose Lockhart as his parasite because he wanted to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
At this time, Lucius, who had been standing aside without saying anything, came out expressionlessly and said to Dumbledore:
"According to the instructions of the Board of Directors, since no suitable candidate for the Headmaster has been found, the position remains with Dumbledore."
After saying this, Lucius threw out a letter of appointment and turned away, obviously not wanting to stay here for a moment.
"Peng!"
"What's going on?" Wright asked curiously when he saw Lucius losing his composure.
"It's okay. They didn't expect an attack to happen right after I left. They couldn't find anyone to deal with it in a short time, so they let me come back."
“And interestingly enough, he was removed from the school board.”
After Dumbledore finished explaining the cause and effect, he paused, then looked at Wright and chuckled:
"And Hagrid, too. He was exonerated. Luckily you told him in advance not to mention the basilisk, otherwise it wouldn't be that simple."
Hearing Dumbledore's casual words, Light knew how complicated the exchange of interests was.
"What about Lockhart?" After hesitating for a moment, Wright asked.
"He might break his wand like Hagrid did! After all, he was also controlled and didn't kill anyone!"
Although this was just Dumbledore's guess, Wright felt that it should be correct and that nothing would happen.
He said goodbye to Dumbledore. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something and walked back.
Wright asked Dumbledore for something with a smile on his face.
