Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

“Knockturn Alley?

Humph! Our savior has fallen to that level.

He should have been expelled when school started."

Douglas glanced at him: If you want to know, just ask, why are you asking in a roundabout way?

So, in the face of Professor Snape's dissatisfied look, Douglas continued his own reasoning.

"Harry spied Lucius Malfoy and his son Draco Malfoy in Knockturn Alley selling some things.

Oh, wait, that's not the point.

Later, Harry also told an important news. He received a warning letter for using magic outside of school during this summer vacation.

But in fact, Harry said that it was made by a house-elf named Dobby to prevent him from returning to Hogwarts.

According to him, the house-elf told him that his life would be in danger if he returned to school...

Later, I happened to chat with Mr. Draco Malfoy, and he mentioned that their house-elf was called Dobby..."

Snape and Dumbledore looked at each other.

Then Snape sneered and said:

"According to what you said, the person who found the Chamber of Secrets should be a Slytherin student, or even Mr. Malfoy.

Why would he be a Ravenclaw student? That doesn't make sense."

"Snapped!"

Douglas snapped his fingers, as if to say that you finally got to the point.

“So, I have a bolder inference.

When I saw Mr. Cruise's stuff, most of it was older.

I thought of a possibility, maybe that thing was dangerous so Mr. Malfoy did not give it to his son.

Instead, it is disguised as a very ordinary thing through some means.

For example, old textbooks?

Or a pen?

What do you think of this guess?"

Then, Douglas could clearly feel from the two men's eyes that they were very disdainful of this speculation.

Snape sneered and said:

"You know nothing about Lucius...

You know nothing about the dark arts...

Don't you know the Imperius Curse?

The problems that have arisen can basically be solved with the Imperius Curse."

Dumbledore seemed to agree with this view.

Douglas was almost mad with anger, and now he just needed to give the answer himself.

"Then what happened to the secret room being opened?"

Dumbledore shrugged and said regretfully:

"Douglas, it seems that up to now, you've been the only one saying that the Chamber of Secrets is open.

In fact, we have not seen the Chamber of Secrets opened.”

Douglas was speechless. That’s not what you said just now.

Then Snape said disdainfully:

"It is now clear that Mr. Cruise is under the Imperius Curse.

When you do something you shouldn't do, but the other party finds out there is a risk of being exposed.

He gave the final order and even modified his memory."

Douglas retorted:

"Modifying memories is a very delicate task and cannot be accomplished through the Imperius Curse."

Snape flung his robes and walked towards the door:

"Instead of wasting time here, it is better to look for useful clues from Mr. Malfoy."

Dumbledore also patted Douglas on the shoulder:

"You have to believe in your own ideas and keep looking. There might be some clues.

I'll go see the poor kid first.

If possible, it would be better for him not to remember this memory again..."

After saying that, Dumbledore also left.

Douglas snorted in dissatisfaction.

What's going on? You were all so anxious just now.

Why do I feel like nothing happened now?

It’s as if Hogwarts is my home and its safety and civilization depend on me.

Do you have to make me pretend to be a prophet before you believe me?

Also, what exactly did Dumbledore mean by that last thing?

Is it the leader's helpless verbal encouragement to employees who insist on their personal opinions?

Or maybe the leader really thought what I said was right and put the heavy responsibility of dealing with Voldemort on me.

Douglas always felt that there was something strange about the two of them. Why did they suddenly mention Voldemort's real name?

Suddenly Douglas felt a chill on his back...

Could it be that both of them already knew about the existence of the diary and are now fishing?

But it doesn’t look like it!

After making sure the two of them were out, Douglas began searching every corner of the dormitory. He felt that only by finding the diary could he stay in Hogwarts safely...

There are very old, elderly and middle-aged people, none of them are easy to deal with...

Outside the Ravenclaw gates.

Snape asked:

"Dumbledore, do you think it will be him?"

Dumbledore sighed:

"do not know!

I noticed a detail just now. After you asked Tom's name,

In this scenario, shouldn't he ask what this name has to do with what happened today?

But he didn't...

It was as if he knew what the name meant.”

Snape said with a grim expression:

"That means he was the one who wrote that article..."

Dumbledore shook his head and said as he walked:

"have no idea.

This month, I asked some old friends and former students...

I even went to the Muggle world in person and got a lot of information about him.

Whether it was his past growth experience or his three years abroad.

There are more or less traces to follow.

Either way, it means he shouldn't know about those things.

Even though he consulted a lot of information for writing the book,

But one thing is certain: some things are not recorded on paper.

But his reaction to Tom's name made me feel like he knew everything."

Snape seemed unwilling to give up and said:

“Then who wrote that article?

It was such a coincidence that he appeared. The previous article was still arranging him.

Then came an article that was enough to destroy that family...

And tonight, those seemingly reasonable inferences seem far-fetched.

Almost all our actions are led by him...

Doesn’t this explain the problem?”

Dumbledore smiled and looked at Snape with a strange look:

"Didn't we end up not following the direction he guided us?

I even think if we had stayed a little longer, Douglas would have told us directly what it was.

Severus, I have to say, you left too hastily.

hehe......"

Snape's face turned cold and he said disdainfully:

"Are you saying I'm covering for him?

Or are he and I working for the Dark Lord?"

Dumbledore spread his hands and said innocently:

"Severus, I trust him as much as you do.

But he is no longer a student.

The more you get to know him, the more you understand the power he possesses.

His path was different from ours, even though we both graduated from Hogwarts.

But his understanding of magic has taken a completely different route.

Believe in him, he will definitely be able to handle this matter.

We need to give young people some trust and space..."

Snape growled with a gloomy face:

“Then you have never thought about the Dark Lord destroying this school?

Can he stop it too?

You just let him do whatever he wants in school?

You and I know very well that if it's not some Malfoy, it could very well be the Dark Lord himself.

Lucius's abilities were not worthy of the magic the Dark Lord had bestowed upon him.

Don't forget, there's also the note found in Lovegood's house, which is enough to prove that this person is most likely the Dark Lord."

Dumbledore smiled and said:

"Aha, I'm glad you show your concern for the school and its students.

But in fact, I think Tom's power is very weak now.

Otherwise, I wouldn't take this approach to avoid it.

You know, he could have easily escaped under such circumstances last year.
