In the principal's room, besides Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall has been waiting here for a long time. After all, the students involved in this matter are all from Gryffindor, so naturally she, the dean, cannot be absent.
"Minerva~ You're here too, meow." w
When Fish saw Professor McGonagall, he rushed over immediately.
Professor McGonagall rubbed his little head, then looked at Harry and the others with a serious expression.
Although the lion's features on Professor McGonagall had long since disappeared, her gaze was still sharp and majestic.
However, Percy, as a prefect, usually deals with professors a lot, so there is not much pressure, while the twins are used to being mischievous, and Dumbledore has bought a lot of things from them, so they are relatively relaxed. As for Ha Li had already understood what was going on, so naturally he didn't react much.
Only Ron and Ginny, facing the headmaster and the dean, were both present, and they all looked serious. After being stared at by Professor McGonagall, they subconsciously became nervous.
"take it easy."
Fortunately, at this time, Dumbledore showed a kind smile in time, which eased the atmosphere a little.
He waved to several people, pointed to the chairs that had been prepared in front of his desk, and said, "Come and sit down here."
After Harry and the others sat down as promised, Dumbledore took out a black diary from a side drawer and handed it to Harry.
"Do you have any impression of this diary?"
Harry subconsciously reached out to take it, but he didn't notice that Professor McGonagall was a little nervous at the moment.
On the other side, Ginny was a little dazed when she saw the diary. In her memory, she should have never seen this diary, but for some reason, she felt familiar again.
And the same inexplicable familiarity with the diary was Harry who took the diary, but unlike Ginny, Harry did know the diary.
"Isn't this the diary that Fish picked up a long time ago? I saw him take it to the Forbidden Forest before, and let the magical creatures try to destroy it."
Harry scratched his head in doubt, and replied truthfully, he thought calling them here today was related to Voldemort and the Chamber of Secrets, why did he suddenly ask about this diary?
Professor McGonagall was taken aback for a moment, and then pinched Fish's little face.
"Why didn't you tell us about such an important matter?! Also, when did you take Harry to the Forbidden Forest?!"
asked Professor McGonagall sharply.
"Meow! Fish forgot!"
¡Æ
Fish rested on his toes, looked up at the pinched half of his face, and loudly argued loudly and confidently: "It's been so long, how could Fish remember this kind of thing meow! And I took Harry to the Forbidden Forest, yes Because he wants to see Aunt Corla meow!"
"That's not true!"
Seeing the surprised gazes from all around, Harry hurriedly denied it loudly, and quickly told the story of his two visits to the Forbidden Forest. At this time, don't think about keeping things secret. If you don't explain, he You will be misunderstood as a womanizer!
"Harry, you are a Parseltongue?!"
"Ron, have you ever been to the Forbidden Forest?!"
Percy and the twins have completely different concerns.
And Ginny, she nudged Ron quietly with her elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Is that centaur named Cora pretty?"
Ron: ""
"Ahem what's wrong with this diary, professor?"
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Harry quickly brought the topic back.
He looked at the diary in his hand curiously before, and found that there was no other handwriting except for the name written on the first page.
Dumbledore did not answer his question, but turned his gaze to Ginny who was aside.
Seeing his actions, Harry suddenly had a guess in his heart, and quickly threw the diary in his hand on the desk, and then looked at Ginny.
"Ginny? Have you seen this diary too?"
Although Percy and the others didn't know what happened, they could tell that it seemed to be related to Ginny, so they hurriedly asked their little sister.
"I don't know either¡¡"
Ginny looked at everyone with a confused look, and said uncertainly: "I probably haven't seen this diary before, but it feels vaguely familiar."
"That's because your memory has been tampered with"
?Sablido sighed, and slowly told about the diary and the secret room.
Of course, he didn't mention the Horcrux, because Dumbledore felt that Harry was still young, and there was no need to put too much pressure on him for the time being.
After listening to Dumbledore's narration, Ginny's brothers were suddenly afraid.
"My God! The mysterious man once controlled Ginny!"
"He also asked Ginny to open the Chamber of Secrets!"
The twins exclaimed one after another, Percy's face turned pale with fright, he looked at Ginny carefully, and kept asking her if there was anything wrong.
Although Ginny was also frightened by Dumbledore's words, but because her memory had been tampered with, she didn't have much sense of reality, which made her look a little dull.
As a result, her brothers were taken aback, thinking that there was something wrong with her brain.
Fortunately, Dumbledore quickly calmed them down.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, apart from some memory problems, Ginny has no other problems. I think Harry should be the most clear about this, isn't he?"
He winked playfully his blue eyes at Harry who was beside him.
"Uhit's like this," Harry nodded, and took up the topic, "I've observed Ginny for a long time, and there's nothing wrong with her."
"So, the reason why you have been staring at Ginny before is because you already knew that she was possessed by a mysterious person?"
Ron remembered Harry denying that he liked Ginny earlier.
"Yes, it's just that we haven't caught the mysterious person at that time, and we were worried about leaking the news, so we didn't tell you anything."
Harry shrugged apologetically.
Ron didn't care much, but Ginny looked a little disappointed.
"Okay," Dumbledore clapped his hands and continued, "I asked Fish to call you here just to tell you about this. If you come across such an item of unknown origin in the future, it's best to hand it in first." Show it to your parents or professors, otherwise it may lead to bad consequences."
"Yes, meow."
¦ä
Fish nodded his head with a sad expression on the side.
"When Minerva found out that Fish had hidden the diary, she beat me up pretty hard."
"That's what you deserve!"
Professor McGonagall tapped Fish's brain, and said angrily.
Harry opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
He still remembered that Fish said at the time that Professor McGonagall would be severely frightened with the diary.
Thinking about it now, this can be regarded as fulfilling his promise at the time, right?
After the matter was explained, Dumbledore asked the Weasley brothers and sisters to leave the principal's office first, and they also needed a period of time to digest the news they had just heard.
But Harry Potter was kept by Dumbledore, and Fish ran aside and started tossing the Sorting Hat.
"Harry," Dumbledore said, staring at him gently but earnestly through half-moon-shaped lenses with blue eyes, "I must ask you to ascertain whether you have any special reaction when you touch this diary."
Harry was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he would ask such a question, but he still answered honestly: "Well, when I saw Fish take out this diary in the Forbidden Forest before, I felt a strange sense of familiarity "
He suddenly remembered what Ginny had said before, and immediately became nervous.
"Could it be that I was also controlled by a mysterious person?"
"No, no, no," Dumbledore waved his hand, pointing to the scar on his forehead and reminded, "I think this is probably caused by the mana Voldemort left on your scar."
Then Dumbledore said again: "For the sake of insurance, I need to check your situation again."
"Of course, sorry to trouble you, Professor."
Harry naturally agreed.
After another inspection, Dumbledore confirmed that Harry did not have any adverse reactions due to contact with the Horcrux, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"So, Harry."
Dumbledore rested his elbows on the table, put the fingertips of both hands together under his crooked nose, and asked in a serious tone: "Have you talked to Tom Riddle, Voldemort at the age of sixteen?" Any thoughts on talking?"
