Late at night, Elwyn was the only one left in the common room.
He stared blankly at Tom Liddell's diary placed in front of him. What happened today made him realize that he could not continue to be in this stalemate. Although there were no more attacks, as long as the secret room incident was not solved, everyone would continue to be suspicious.
Perhaps, he should give this thing to Dumbledore!
He would definitely be able to recognize that it was a soul tool and know how to deal with it. At that time, the secret room incident would be over.
Before Elwyn could make up his mind, he saw Harry walk out of the bedroom.
"Elwyn, why haven't you gone to sleep?" Harry said in surprise.
"I should be the one asking you. It's so late, what are you doing out here?"
"I can't sleep. My mind is tossing and turning, thinking about Hagrid. He must be innocent. I want to go and confirm with him." Harry looked at Elwyn with an expectant gaze. "You think so too, right?"
"Yes!" Elwyn nodded.
"Then let's go!" Harry whispered.
"Us?!"
"Yes." Harry grabbed Elwyn. "I was going to go alone, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you. Let's go together."
Elwyn wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He should have gone back to his room to sleep.
He did not want to sneak out of the castle in the middle of the night and go to Hagrid's cabin to confirm something he already knew. However, Harry did not give him a chance to refuse. He pulled him out of Gryffindor's common room. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net

Before they could climb out of the portrait hole, they saw Hermione standing behind them, looking at them with a serious face.
"Hermione!" Harry said in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that, Harry. Do you think I'll let you go alone?!" Hermione said, "I told you long ago that we have to talk to Hagrid. Although I believe that he didn't do it, he must know something."
"Alright, since everyone wants to go, let's go." Harry covered them with the Invisibility Cloak.
Late at night, the castle was particularly gloomy, and the corridors were empty.
It was obvious that Harry had wandered around the castle many times in the middle of the night. He led Elwyn and Hermione out of the castle gate with ease, avoiding Filch.
The three of them hurriedly walked towards the lighted window of Hagrid's residence. They didn't take off the Invisibility Cloak until they reached his door. A few seconds after they knocked, Hagrid flung the door open, and Fang barked loudly behind him.
"Oh, it's you guys!" Hagrid stared at them. "What are you doing here so late at night?"
"Hagrid, we have something to ask you." Harry walked into the house first, and hesitated. "Can you tell us, about you?"
"About what?" Hagrid poured each of them a large cup of water from the kettle. "What can't we talk about tomorrow? You should go back to sleep now. Don't let anyone find out that you've sneaked out of the castle so late at night."
"But, Hagrid …"
"We want to ask you about something that happened in Hogwarts when you were studying there. It's related to the Chamber of Secrets," Elwyn said directly.
"Chamber of Secrets?!" Hagrid's thick hand shook violently, and the teapot was knocked over.
"Hagrid, as you know, someone in the castle was attacked by the monster in the Chamber of Secrets. There have been three attacks in a row," Harry said quickly. "After our investigation, we found that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago …"
"What do you want to ask?" Hagrid's face suddenly turned pale, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
"Fifty years ago, not long after the Chamber of Secrets was opened, you were expelled from school because of a serious accident." Hermione took out the newspaper. "Hagrid, it's not that we don't believe you, but you must know something?"
"I don't know anything!" Hagrid shouted at them. He seemed to be a little uneasy, and the water in the kettle spilled out, almost extinguishing the fire in the stove.
This was too suspicious. Harry and Hermione secretly looked at each other.
"We need your help, Hagrid!" Harry said in a pleading tone. "The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, the monster inside killed a student. If we don't do anything, the monster might …"
"No, Aragok was wronged. It didn't attack anyone," Hagrid choked.
"Aragok, who is it?" Harry asked hurriedly.
"It's an eight-eyed giant spider. A traveler from afar gave it to me for my twelfth birthday. I kept it in the cupboard. The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, Aragok was very afraid. It kept begging me to let it go. It said that it was an ancient creature that spiders are most afraid of." Hagrid wiped his tears with a big handkerchief.
"Ancient creature? What is it?"
"I don't know. Although I asked many times, Aragok never told me the name of the monster. It was not until the terrible monster killed a girl named Ravenclaw in the bathroom that the person who can't even mention the name caught me. He accused Aragok of everything."
"The person who can't even mention the name?!" Harry stood up with a pale face. "Hagrid, are you talking about the Lord Voldemort?"
The name made Hagrid shudder. He seemed to have just woken up from his sad memories.
"Oh my god, what have I said to you!" Hagrid said in annoyance. "This is not something you should know. Forget what I just said. Now, you should go back to sleep immediately. Don't ask any questions. I won't tell you anything. "
They were driven out by Hagrid. Harry and Hermione whispered as they walked.
"Hagrid just mentioned the Lord Voldemort. Fifty years ago, it must have been the Lord Voldemort who opened the secret chamber, killed Myrtle, and then wrongly accused Hagrid." Harry said angrily, "I knew it would be like this, but who opened it this time? It can't be the Lord Voldemort again, right?!"
Harry suddenly thought of what happened last semester. The Lord Voldemort sneaked into the school to steal the Sorcerer's Stone. Fortunately, he stopped him at the end.
"I don't know, Harry!" Hermione shook her head and analyzed with a trembling voice. "Maybe it's the same as last semester. The Lord Voldemort stuck himself behind someone's head and sneaked into the school. Remember the Soul Snatch Curse that Ron suffered from some time ago? It must be someone hiding around us."
"Who could it be? And what is the monster hiding in the secret chamber?" Harry lowered his head and pondered.
"Hagrid just said that it was an ancient creature that spiders are most afraid of. I seem to have seen a similar creature somewhere." Hermione thought for a moment, then turned to look at Elwyn and asked, "Elwyn, do you have any clues?"
"Obviously, the terrifying creature hiding in the secret chamber is a snake monster. It is the nemesis of spiders." Elwyn said what he knew.
He had decided to give the diary to Dumbledore. It was time to end everything.
