A Hogwarts dissertation guide

Such days did not last long. It turned out that Harry's worries were completely unnecessary. Professor Snape had that scary smile on almost everyone, although he himself may not have realized what his smile actually meant. How terrifying.

"I don't think there will be any more trouble, Minerva," said Dumbledore, winking. "I don't think the Chamber of Secrets will ever be opened this time."

"Do you know something, Mr. Headmaster?" Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore warily, "And, where is Mr. Lumple? Why haven't I seen him recently, or is he also some kind of spy of yours? "

"Well, why don't you try a piece of sweets, Minerva," Dumbledore said light-heartedly. "If possible, I'd rather you focus on Professor Umbridge. She looks... It sounds like there's a lot of dissatisfaction with Hogwarts."

"She...is a little annoying." Professor McGonagall turned her head to the side. It was not an easy thing for her to say such words.

"We all know why she is here, and we also understand her and Cornelius's little plan," Dumbledore stared at Professor McGonagall, "but I have more important things at the moment, and I can't get away for the time being."

"Okay." Professor McGonagall nodded.She wisely did not ask what Dumbledore was distracted from.

Of course, Professor McGonagall can actually guess almost exactly - it should be the change in Professor Snape. He seemed to be a completely different person after the Christmas vacation.

Dumbledore has always trusted Snape the most, and he must want to find out why.

In fact, Dumbledore was almost figuring it out when his subordinate Stooges Podmore passed him on the latest information about Spider-End Alley.

The last house at the end of Spider's End is also Snape's home, where he returns every year during the holidays.

According to Stourge's observation, Snape has appeared in Spider-End Alley a lot recently. He saw Snape at least five times, and the lights in the room were always on at night, as if Snape was there. overnight.

After Snape left, Stourge braved the situation and went up to observe, but he heard a clear female voice inside, which seemed to be cooking.

"Snape must be in love, he hid a woman in his home." Stourge assured Dumbledore, patting his chest.

In the next period of time, Dumbledore has been paying attention to Snape's condition. He wants to find out who the woman hidden by Snape is - this is related to Snape's reliability.

"Severus, are you sure you don't want to tell me what happened to make you so happy?" Dumbledore asked.

"This has nothing to do with you." Snape said stiffly. Since Lily was resurrected, his attitude towards Dumbledore has taken a sharp turn.

"Can't I even care about my own Potions teacher?" Dumbledore said sadly, "Harry is Lily's child, you can't just ignore him -"

"Do you remember that he is Lily's child?" Snape glared at Dumbledore, "I begged you so much at the beginning, but you -"

"No one thought things would turn out like that." Dumbledore sighed. For a moment, he looked much older.

"You'd better watch your boy," Snape said, turning and leaving the office.

Harry, Ron and Hermione also discovered some information about the Chamber of Secrets - because the heir to the Chamber of Secrets had never been caught, they never gave up.

Although most people believe that the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was Draco Malfoy, Ron swore: "He doesn't have the ability. He is just a crybaby. When he is wronged, he can only go to his mother."

Both Harry and Hermione agreed on this, and Hermione found a horrifying report in an old newspaper: it was the "Daily Prophet" 50 years ago, and the front page headline was about the Chamber of Secrets.

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened, and third-year student Rubeus Hagrid attacked a student..."

The report almost used a very terrifying tone to describe how terrible things Hagrid had done.

They had long known that Hagrid had a soft spot for huge monsters. He had raised a dragon in his cabin last year, as well as a big dog with three heads that he called "Luwei", which also made them very fond of it. It cannot be forgotten for a long time.

Back then, when Hagrid was still a young boy, if he heard that there was a monster hiding somewhere in the castle, Hagrid would definitely try his best to take a look at him.

Hagrid probably thought it was outrageous to keep the monster imprisoned for so long, and that it should be given a rally to stretch its legs.

But there are also some doubts in it. After all, Hagrid is not a student of Slytherin House, or even a pure-blood wizard - nor a pure-blood human.

And how did he control the basilisk?

Moreover, Harry and the others did not believe that Hagrid would commit such a vicious attack. You must know that the first person to be attacked was Harry, and Harry and Hagrid were the closest friends.

Harry even half-wished he hadn't been in the infirmary that night so he wouldn't have had to recount what he'd seen and heard over and over again. Eventually he grew tired of the endless, wheel-wheeling conversation that followed. I also feel extremely tired.

"So, it was Riddle who reported Hagrid?" Hermione said in surprise, "But why did he do this? I don't believe Hagrid would do such a thing."

"Of course it is impossible for Hagrid to do such a thing," Ron said listlessly, "but it is undeniable that he is indeed keeping magical animals in captivity, and they are very threatening."

"So Hogwarts expelled Hagrid and broke his wand." Harry said angrily, "This is completely unreasonable."

"We already knew that Hagrid was expelled," Hermione said distressedly. "The attacks must have stopped since Hagrid was expelled. Otherwise, Riddle would not have won the award."

This was written very clearly in the report: the student who reported Rubeus Hagrid's opening of the Chamber of Secrets was awarded a Special Contribution Award.Ron happened to spend a whole afternoon and evening polishing the trophies in the trophy showroom. It could be said that the names of the winners of Hogwarts in the past century were firmly in Ron's mind.

Tom Riddle's name is also known to Harry and Hermione.

"So, who is Riddle?" Harry grasped the key point keenly, "Why did the attacks stop after he reported Hagrid?"
