Half an hour later, Riddle's figure had disappeared, and the diary papers that contained his soul were lying scattered on the ground. They no longer had any magic power. The center of each page seemed to be touched by a sharp knife. It was as if the dagger had dug hard, and holes with sharp edges appeared.
The cage conjured by Amosta has disappeared, and the basilisk left by Slytherin trapped in the cage is also missing.
Dumbledore looked solemn as he strode across the steps to the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, his purple traveling cloak swaying behind him like a cloak, while Harry followed Dumbledore panting. Behind him, something was said in a hurried tone.
When he saw Amosta safe and sound at the foot of the Slytherin statue, the expression on Dumbledore's face finally relaxed, but his steps were still hurried.
"Ah, you came so quickly, Principal Dumbledore, oh, of course, and Potter"
Amosta retracted his gaze from the sculpture and turned He turned around and chuckled.
"I'm glad to see you're okay, Amosta,"
Dumbledore said gently as he quickly approached. He seemed to want to say something else, but his eyes were blocked by the floor. Attracted by the diary on the top, he picked up the cracked diary, his blue eyes shot down from his long crooked nose, and he stared intently at the broken pages.
< p>"It's amazing,"Dumbledore said softly,
"Needless to say, he can probably talk about the history of Hogwarts, including you, Amosta, in my long career, I have never seen a wizard better than you two, of course, in terms of magical talent."
Harry seemed confused. He looked around, but he didn't find any other creatures or visible memories in the secret room besides them.
"Professor Brain, Voldemort and the Basilisk, they all Where have you been?"
The smiling Amosta's expression suddenly turned regretful. He looked at Harry who was covered in dust and said,
"Then The basilisk struggled very hard. The cage I created with magic could no longer control it. I had no choice but to turn it into ashes. As for the memory stored in this evil magic instrument, it seemed that it wanted to save it. Servant, when I was dealing with the basilisk, it jumped out from behind a pillar and tried to attack me," Amosta shrugged his shoulders and said lightly,
"I was a little nervous for a moment, so I used a very powerful magic, so it also disappeared."
Harry took a breath. Professor Blaine's statement was reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong. , after all, those were left by Slytherin to his heirs, the basilisk that has created countless terrifying legends for thousands of years, and the evil magic props made by Voldemort himself. Why did Professor Brain say that it was like killing a goblin? Easy
Heard Amosta’sDumbledore, who was concentrating on studying the diary, raised his head. He shook his silver eyebrows, and a strange light flashed in his blue eyes.
"No matter what, Ah Mosta,"
Dumbledore put the diary into his pocket, smiled happily and said sincerely,
"I want to express my gratitude to you. Before I leave, During the few hours at school, you fulfilled the duties of the principal for me. I'm really glad that you rescued Ginny Weasley. Otherwise, I simply don't know how to explain to Arthur and Molly. You still never The basilisk and Voldemort protected Harry and his friends, tearing away the shadow that had shrouded the young wizards this year."
Dumbledore blew his nose hard, and his voice It sounds very emotional,
"If it weren't for the fact that you have graduated from school, I think a special contribution award medal is the best reward for your heroic and fearless behavior"
Ahem
Dumbledore's string of compliments almost made Amosta blush. He pursed his lips, waved his hands humbly, and then pointed at Harry,
< p>"You are exaggerating, Principal Dumbledore. In fact, if Harry hadn't been astute and discovered the entrance to this secret room, I think all this would not have been so simple""Oh, of course."
Dumbledore looked at Harry, whose ears were red, with a smile.
"It's the same as when you saved the Sorcerer's Stone from Voldemort last year. "Your wisdom and courage put many famous wizards, including me, to shame. Harry, I think Lily and James would be proud of you if they were still around."
Harry opened his mouth. At this moment, he still had many doubts in his heart. For example, why Fawkes suddenly appeared when he was fighting the basilisk; for example, what had been taken back by Dumbledore? What happened to the sword he took out of the Sorting Hat? Or, for example, this diary
But Harry didn't ask a single question, because Dumbledore's words were like a boulder. It was blocked in his chest, making him breathless. The green fire in the secret room, which was the same color as his eyes, protected him, making the sparkle in his eyes difficult to detect.
Yes, if they are still there
Amosta moved his eyes away and continued to look at the huge black hole that appeared on the face of the stone sculpture, and Dumbledore also He wisely took a few steps forward, leaving Harry behind. He stood next to Amosta, following his gaze towards the hole, his silver beard long enough to be tucked into his waistband fluttering slightly. Said thoughtfully,
"You think there is something there, right, Amosta"
"It just feels a little wrong, Principal Dumbledore"
p>
Amosta did not look at Dumbledore. His eyes were flashing with an unreadable light. In fact, he did not feel anything wrong from the dark hole.place, what made him curious about the black hole and determined to explore it was the memory he recovered
"The basilisk, after listening to Voldemort's call, came from Crawled out of that place"
Harry came out of the sad silence and answered the two people's questions.
Dumbledore nodded noncommittally. He looked down at Amosta with a searching gaze. After a while, he said calmly,
"This ancient castle There are countless fascinating secrets hidden in it. Amosta, even if I am the principal of this school and have read the notes of past principals, my knowledge of this castle may not be as good as the Weasley twin brothers. If If you think it's necessary, I can accompany you to see what's going on."
Amosta bowed and smiled to express his gratitude.
"I'm very curious, Denbu. Principal Lido, Salazar Slytherin left a basilisk in such a hidden secret room just to clear out the non-pure-blooded little wizards in the school as the rumors said. This does not seem to be of his level. The mind and structure that a wizard should have"
A stream of light flashed across Dumbledore's half-moon lenses,
"Judge rationally and reasonably, Amosta, since this is the case ”
Dumbledore obviously saw something, but he did not choose to expose it. He raised the elder wand and waved it down neatly. Immediately, the entire secret room was shaken violently and shattered. Stones and dust fell rapidly like wind and rain. Harry, who was a little confused, quickly covered his forehead with his hands to prevent anything from falling into his eyes.
In just a few seconds, the trembling world returned to calm again. In embarrassment, Harry patted the layer of gray on his robe and quickly looked forward. With just one glance, his face showed surprise.
A staircase appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of Principal Dumbledore and Professor Brain, leading directly to the face of the stone sculpture that towered into the darkness. This staircase was made of rough stone and dark in color, and it was a full two hundred feet away. High, like a pillar reaching the sky.
Harry clicked his tongue. Turning a stone into the shape of a staircase was not difficult for him who had received two years of orthodox magic education. To be able to create such a huge staircase, Harry was convinced that even if Even if you put him in a juicer and squeeze it dry, you won't be able to produce so much magic power.
