"Thank God!" Lady Weasley walked to Harry and Elwyn. "You saved Ron, you saved him! How did you do it? "
"That's what we all want to know." Snape stared at them.
Elwyn and Harry looked at each other quietly. Elwyn pouted at Dumbledore, indicating that Harry should narrate what happened in the secret chamber. Harry hesitated for a moment, then walked to the desk and placed the Sorting Hat, the ruby-encrusted silver sword, and the remains of Riddle's diary on the table one by one.
Then, he began to tell the whole story to everyone.
He spoke for about a quarter of an hour. Everyone listened attentively, and the room was silent.
He said that he kept hearing the disembodied, ghost-like voice. Then, they investigated and learned from Hagrid what happened when the secret chamber was opened fifty years ago. From this, they deduced that there was a snake monster in the secret chamber. It lurked in the pipes and wandered around the school, attacking the students.
Then, he talked about the two battles that happened in the common room and the secret chamber. He talked about how he and Elwyn were brought to the secret chamber by the snake monster, how Elwyn was hit by Riddle's curse, how Fawkes arrived in time, how the Sorting Hat gave him the sword, and how he used the sword to kill the snake monster.
But then, his voice became hesitant.
He had avoided any mention of Riddle's diary earlier. He had mentioned Ron.
At this moment, Ron was standing by the fire with his head lowered. His face was full of disappointment, and tears rolled down his cheeks silently.
Harry thought nervously. If he said that Riddle controlled Ron to do everything, but Riddle's diary was no longer working, how could they prove that Riddle forced Ron to do those things?!
"Potter, get to the point!" Snape reminded in a low voice. "We only care about who opened the secret chamber and why that stupid snake monster must take Weasley away."
"It's because …" Harry didn't know what to say.
Especially since this question was asked by Snape, even though he had saved them in the common lounge. However, Harry was sure that if there was a chance to expel them from the Hogwarts, Snape would not hesitate to do so.
"Professor, all of this was done by the Lord Voldemort, including the time 50 years ago." Elwyn's voice rang out.
Upon hearing the name of Lord Voldemort, the room suddenly fell silent. Weasley and his wife, Hagrid, and Cornelius shivered. Snape had a very strange expression, and Lucius Malfoy, who had been huddled in the corner, suddenly became a little unnatural.
"Oh my god, you … you mean this was all done by the mysterious man?" Foggy said in surprise. "Wasn't it Hagrid 50 years ago? He was caught by a student, and we even awarded him a special contribution award. All of this is well-documented."
"Cornelius, I told you long ago that Hagrid was wronged. He's as innocent as all of us," Dumbledore said calmly.
"Yes, yes, you did say that, but the student who caught Hagrid …" Foggy said uncertainly.
"His name is Tom Riddle, Lord Voldemort when he was a student. He was the one who planned the series of attacks in the castle. Harry and I stopped his plot in the secret chamber."
Hearing Elwyn's words, Foggy took half a step back nervously. Although he had just heard Harry's story, he really couldn't imagine how two eleven-year-old wizards had defeated a powerful dark wizard and a snake monster.
The whole thing sounded like a fantasy story.
"Mr. Minister, since we stopped Lord Voldemort's plot and saved the Hogwarts …" Elwyn stared at Foggy closely, the corners of his mouth curling up as he said with a smile, "Then can I, Harry, Hermione, and Ron also receive a special contribution award?"
"What?!" Foggy was stunned for a moment. "Okay, okay. Since you defeated the mysterious man, I think there shouldn't be a problem, but the Ministry needs to discuss it with the school board. It should be done in a few days."
"That's great. Thank you, Mr. Minister!"
Elwyn jumped up happily and said quickly, "If possible, I want you to personally give us the award. This news can be published in our 'Hogwarts Magic Newspaper' and 'Daily Prophet'. I believe everyone will appreciate what the Ministry of Magic has done."
"No problem, my dear boy! I'll probably visit the Hogwarts again tomorrow with your special contribution trophy and Hagrid's pardon. "
Hearing that the reputation of the Ministry of Magic would not be tarnished by this matter, Foggy looked very happy. "Albus, now that everything has come to light, I must leave. You know, there are still many things waiting for me in the Ministry. "
He said goodbye to everyone and turned to leave the principal's office, followed by Snape.
"Although we all know that Lord Voldemort planned all this." After Foggy left, Dumbledore said gently, "But I'm still curious, how did Lord Voldemort bewitch Ron? Because according to my sources, he is currently hiding in the forests of Albania. "
"What?!" Lady Weasley said in a shocked voice, "You mean the mysterious man bewitched Ron, but Elwyn just said that they were together?"
"Professor, it's all because of this diary."
Harry said hurriedly, grabbing the diary and showing it to Dumbledore. "This was written when Riddle was sixteen years old."
Dumbledore took the diary from Harry's hands, his eyes peering down from his long aquiline nose as he stared intently at the damp, charred pages.
Elwyn was sure that Foggy must have recognized it as a soul artifact.
"Amazing!" Dumbledore said softly. "Needless to say, he's probably the most outstanding student in the history of the Hogwarts."
He turned and told the Weasley couple about Lord Voldemort's student days.
"But I don't understand, why does Ron have anything to do with him?"
"Because of his diary!" Ron said disappointedly. "I found it in Ginny's Metamorphosis textbook. I've been writing in it for a whole year, and he kept replying to me. Elwyn was right, I'm such a jerk. I'd rather believe a diary than my friend. "
"My God, Ron!" Mr. Weasley was stunned. "Didn't I teach you? What have I always told you? Never believe anything that can think independently, unless you see where it hides its mind. This suspicious diary is clearly filled with black magic and witchcraft! "
"Don't blame Ron, Mr. Weasley." Elwyn said hurriedly. "When the snake monster attacked in the common room, it was Ron who saved Ginny."
"In fact, few wizards can break free from Lord Voldemort's spell!" Dumbledore added. "Arthur, you should be proud of Ron, and I believe he must have learned his lesson in this matter."
"How touching!" Just when everyone thought that was the end of the matter, Lucius Malfoy suddenly stood up from the corner and sneered. "Dumbledore, instead of worrying about a ridiculous diary and a child's pride, I think we should get back to the main topic at hand. It's about you being suspended by the board of directors."
Before he finished speaking, a letter suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's desk.
"I was just about to talk to you about this, Lucius!" Dumbledore said calmly. "I just got in touch with the other eleven directors. After a discussion, they seem to think that I'm the most suitable for this job."
"So that's how it is," Lucius said slowly, his eyes narrowed.
"In addition, they also told me something interesting. It seems that someone is threatening them, saying that if they don't agree to let me resign, they will curse their families." Dumbledore looked at him with a smile.
