Chapter 273 The Secret Chamber
"Furthermore, the fact that Ron and I couldn't get into Platform 9¾ at the opening ceremony was very likely caused by this intruder!"
"And then there were the brooms and Quaffles that I encountered during training that went out of control. It was all very strange."
Harry concluded, "I believe there must be an intruder in the school who caused Scabbers' abnormality and Mr. Bowles' death."
He's connecting all the known conditions together, but in reality, this whole logic and conclusion is flawed.
Because the intruder had no reason to make things difficult for a mouse, much less to kill a visiting fairy and thus expose himself.
Arthur didn't want to scold the child.
Kingsley, taking into account Harry's exceptional magical abilities, very tactfully told Harry that if there were indeed intruders, they would have no motive to do so.
"uncertain."
Ryan suddenly spoke up.
Meanwhile, Dumbledore fell into deep thought.
It seems that both of them had come up with a motive that would motivate the intruder to do this.
"The Weeping Myrtle?" Ryan made Harry repeat the address.
"Yes, that's it. Myrtle even accused us of trespassing in the girls' restroom."
Harry confirmed the address.
Ryan frowned. He vaguely remembered that the weeping Moghan was a student fifty years ago, and that when he was at a party with Hagrid, he had heard Hagrid, when drunk, say that he had also been expelled from school because of a case fifty years ago, in which his wand was broken.
He later inquired with Dumbledore, and both Dumbledore and Hagrid claimed that the Ministry of Magic's judgment on the incident was flawed and should not have been made in the first place; it was just that the previous headmaster had preferred to settle the matter peacefully.
The incident at that time was called the Locked Room Incident.
"The Chamber of Secrets?" He looked at Dumbledore.
"Very likely, but now is not the time to discuss the secret chamber. We need to determine if it's him again this time—"
"Them?"
Dumbledore said that he should close his eyes so that no one could see what was in them.
Ryan understood, because there was another name that stuck with him during the events: Tom Riddle, or Voldemort.
Presumably, fifty years ago, neither Hogwarts nor the Ministry of Magic could find evidence to capture Voldemort. At that time, Voldemort was still a model student and naturally wouldn't be suspected. Hagrid, on the other hand, was likely pushed out as a scapegoat due to his personal misconduct.
Dumbledore said this out of curiosity: was this a Horcrux acting on its own, or a joint operation between Voldemort's Horcruxes and the Last Darkness?
Flitwick seemed to have thought of something, and he was frowning. He didn't know the ins and outs of the mystery room case, but he knew that there was only one thing that could make Dumbledore frown.
Outsiders couldn't understand the cryptic language these two were using.
Kingsley nudged Arthur, urging him to ask, since Arthur was neither a member of the Hogwarts community nor a member of the Hogwarts parent group.
As a parent of several Hogwarts students, Arthur naturally had the right to inquire about the existence of intruders and how the safety of the students could be guaranteed.
"We have enough people now. Shall we go and order him together?"
But before Arthur could ask, he heard Ryan's murderous words.
"He may not be in the secret room right now."
"He can run away, but he can't hide. It doesn't matter if he runs away, he can't escape the Chamber of Secrets. Besides, I don't think there's any other place at Hogwarts where he can stay."
The Room of Requirement had practically become Ryan's second home all along, so he naturally knew that Voldemort wasn't hiding inside.
Because Ryan installed surveillance cameras at the door.
"Wait, wait. You already know who the intruder is? You already know where the intruder is hiding?"
Arthur was dumbfounded. He was present the whole time, so why did he feel like a marginal figure, unable to understand what the main characters were saying?
Lane said, "What has been done will be done again, Mr. Weasley. We just think of things that have happened before, so we can be sure quickly."
Dumbledore also spoke up: "We can go together, but we need to be careful. Leave Flitwick and the others to defend Hogwarts Castle. You, me, Harry, Kingsley, and I will go to the Chamber of Secrets together."
"What about me!" Arthur raised his hand.
"You stay in the castle to help the professors, and also keep a close eye on your sons so they don't go out for a night stroll tonight."
These words made Arthur want to bury his head in the floor, his teeth itching with anger, feeling as if he was missing something sturdy.
For example, George and Fred.
For example, George and Fred.
So he volunteered to take charge of the defense of the area near the Gryffindor common room.
This was naturally agreed upon.
George and Fred, who were happily discussing their plans for tonight's night out, had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. They were still debating whether to wake their dear brother Percy up for a night out too, and have a Weasley family bucket party.
Percy was naturally unwilling.
But he couldn't resist the earnest persuasion of his three younger brothers, especially Ron's expectations.
After Ron integrated some of Voldemort's knowledge base and came up with his own ideas, and the others helped him refine them, everyone agreed that Ron had a good chance of joining the Adventurers' Club this year and becoming a member of "us".
So Percy reluctantly agreed.
The four of them went out happily.
I stood stiffly at the door.
Someone once asked what's outside the door?
They might have answered that freedom lies outside the door.
But now they would definitely answer that the person outside the door is Arthur Weasley.
It was Arthur Weasley, whose face darkened as Kingsley's after seeing the four of them happily going out for a night stroll.
That night, Arthur Weasley returned to his peak, transforming into the Order of the Phoenix warrior who fought Voldemort years ago, and cracking down on certain unruly students who were disguised as his son.
The Gryffindor lion cubs had no idea what was happening.
All they knew was that the Gryffindor common room was unusually noisy tonight.
Countless voices hoping to awaken paternal love rose and fell, accompanied by screams of agony.
"Speaking of which, why is Harry here tonight?"
Ryan now found it strange that since the two people from the Ministry of Magic were there because of Bowles' death, it shouldn't have anything to do with Harry.
"The Hufflepuff Cup." Dumbledore winked.
So it turns out they'd collected more Voldemort fragments and planned to use them to enhance Harry. But it seems they hadn't even had a chance to enhance Harry before the Ministry of Magic arrived.
By the way, how many times can Harry be enhanced?
He asked, "Did Mr. Slughorn mention the total?"
"Seven is the most magical number, isn't it?"
I really do have seven Horcruxes!
That Voldemort is truly remarkable; the fact that he hasn't turned into a brainwashed babble is a testament to his extraordinary talent.
Ryan thought his memory was wrong, but little did he know that Voldemort really was that abstract.
Suddenly, a small figure appeared in front of them, blocking their way.
