Chapter 137 The Discarded Diary! Against Deng's Artifact!
That night, Argus quietly returned to Saint Manor with the gold galleons, wand and cloak.
He told Vita everything that had happened recently in his confused eyes.
"No wonder you are so confident!"
"It seems that you have completely controlled that idiot!"
She picked up the wand and cloak and looked at them, with a hint of disdain on her lips.
"Tomorrow I will take them to them to see how to repair it."
"If it doesn't work, make him another one."
"Fifty thousand gold galleons are enough to support their research for a while."
"But..." Vita's expression suddenly became serious.
"Argus, have you thought about how to deal with Lockhart?"
Vita Rosier didn't know Argus's inner thoughts.
Although he got a lot of blood back through Lockhart this time, he also exposed a secret weapon of his future to him.
Such a trump card that can play a decisive role in the future must not be known to others.
What she is most worried about at this moment is that Argus will forget the overall situation for the sake of temporary interests.
This is the most common mistake among young people!
"Don't worry about that. I've already thought about it."
Agus smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"He can't walk out of Hogwarts alive."
...
Inside Hogwarts Castle.
A thin red-haired figure quietly walked out of the door of the Gryffindor Common Room.
Ginny thought about it for several days in the dormitory before she made up her mind to throw away the diary.
During this time, she has recalled the memory of being controlled.
How to release the terrifying monster in the secret room, how to write bloody words, how to guide the terrifying monster to attack classmates!
And the appearance of the Auror made her panic to the extreme.
She was frightened every day, fearing that her actions would be discovered by the Auror.
My father was almost dismissed by the Ministry of Magic, and the family's income plummeted. Everyone was trying to supplement the family income.
If it was because of me that my father was implicated again...
She shook her head and tried not to let herself think about it.
In order to avoid the sight of the Auror and classmates, she deliberately chose to sneak out after curfew when everyone was asleep.
All the way to the laundry room on the first floor.
The ground was full of water.
Crying Myrtle was sitting on the toilet and sighing.
At the door, a black thing suddenly flew in and hit her head!
She was so scared that she screamed. When she wanted to chase the murderer, she found that there was no one outside the door.
She could only sit on the toilet alone and sulk.
Argus, who had returned from the Saint's Manor, happened to pass by. Hearing the footsteps around him, he subconsciously cast an illusion spell on himself.
Hiding in a corner.
Seeing the figure running upstairs quickly, his brows slightly frowned.
"Ginny? Why is she here so late at night?"
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and hurriedly chased in the direction where Ginny came from.
Argus came to the laundry room and saw Crying Myrtle sitting cross-legged on the toilet.
Because he had used the illusion spell in advance, Argus's actions did not alarm him.
Quietly picked up the diary on the ground and walked towards the dormitory.
"It's true! Ginny noticed something was wrong and wanted to throw the diary away."
"It's a pity that without Hermione's strongest brain, Harry doesn't have the time or the brain to find out who is the real Slytherin heir."
Aggs's mouth curled up quietly.
But just after returning to the dormitory, he saw a huge turkey stepping on his desk.
It seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Aggs actually read a trace of impatience in its eyes.
"What does Dumbledore want to see me for?"
He frowned slightly and grabbed Fox with one hand.
The next second, a man and a bird appeared in Dumbledore's office.
Fox felt pain and cried angrily!
He flapped his wings and came to Dumbledore to complain.
Dumbledore's old and wrinkled palm touched Fox's back and gently touched it a few times to comfort him.
Turning to look at Argus: "Mr. Grindelwald, disappearing in the dormitory during curfew can easily cause some unnecessary trouble."
"Especially recently, the Aurors are investigating the heir of Slytherin. Once discovered, what will be the consequences? You know better than me."
Argus did not seem to be frightened at all, sitting on the chair and said lightly.
"All charges without evidence can only be called false accusations."
"What do you think, Principal Dumbledore?"
"When Hagrid was arrested, there was also no evidence." Dumbledore took a piece of lemon snow treasure and put it in his mouth, narrowing his eyes, enjoying the sweet and sour taste of candy.
"Also, should you explain your disappearance from school?"
I knew that this old Deng must have a hand!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to trust Harry to deal with Voldemort and the basilisk alone!
"There was something going on in Diagon Alley, so I went back."
"There are classes during the day, and it is easy to be discovered if there are too many people. I can only go at night."
Argus's words are nine-tenths true and one-tenth false, and he only hides the most critical information.
He knew that Dumbledore's words were just to put some pressure on him so that he could take the initiative in the next negotiation.
Do you really want to use the curfew to nail yourself as the heir of Slytherin?
Dream on!
Don't say that he is not. Even if he is, he has the support of Alan Mitchell and Fudge, as well as the school board headed by Lucius.
Isn't it easy to clear your name?
"The principal called me here, not just to ask where I went at night?"
"Of course not, every little wizard has his own secrets." Dumbledore found that his words could not bring any influence to Argus.
He simply stopped talking about the topic.
"Remember our deal last semester?"
"Now, Harry needs your help."
"Our deal is just to give him guidance, not help." Argus would not fall into Dumbledore's language trap easily.
Dumbledore sighed: "Mr. Grindelwald, you are a smart man."
"Even if I don't point out many things, you should be able to guess them."
"Take the lives of Hogwarts students and play the savior game with Harry?" Argus said with a little sarcasm.
Dumbledore was not angry at Argus's words. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "For the sake of the wizarding world, some sacrifices are inevitable."
"Harry needs to grow up, and also needs... a certain reputation."
"I'm old, and I can't be Voldemort's opponent. Only Harry..."
"Heh!" Argus sneered.
If I hadn't read the original book before I came here, I might have believed it!
In the movie, Dumbledore and Voldemort's battle at the Ministry of Magic seemed to have only a slight advantage.
The original book is not like this!
Dumbledore almost suppressed Voldemort throughout the fight! In the end, Voldemort was forced to flee!
More importantly, no dark magic was used from beginning to end! And with Harry as a burden!
In other words, this old Dumbledore still has some strength left!
According to the timeline, the battle took place when Harry was in the fifth grade, which is three years away from now!
Argus believes that if Voldemort dares to resurrect now, Dumbledore will definitely have the confidence to strangle him again!
While consuming his Horcruxes, it can also buy time for Harry's growth.
Dumbledore saw that Argus didn't respond, and continued to talk to himself: "Harry's current situation is not good."
"Mr. Dursley's family is unwilling to accept him, and the young wizards in Gryffindor are hostile to him."
"Mr. Ron Weasley is not a competent friend either."
"If this continues, I'm worried that he will be overwhelmed by the environment around him."
"I can't stop others from talking." Argus refused before Dumbledore finished speaking.
"This kind of thing, no one can control, you just need to comfort him."
Dumbledore looked old and sighed: "The future is yours."
"I'm over 110 years old..."
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, my father has been in Nurmengard for more than 50 years."
