Chapter 519 Tom, Go Further on the Road of Love

When Tom heard what Peter said, he was stunned.

After a moment, he understood Peter's intention and looked at Dumbledore calmly.

"Sorry, Dad, I made some mistakes, but that was not my intention."

Seeing Peter criticize Tom, Mark hesitated for a moment, stood up and said, "Dad, Principal, Professor McGonagall, we also made mistakes. This is not Tom's fault alone."

Ginny heard Mark's words in her parents' arms, and took the courage to say to everyone, "Professor McGonagall, Principal Dumbledore, it was Mark, Harry and Tom who saved me. All this. Everything is because of me."

Hearing Ginny's words, Professor McGonagall looked around suspiciously, "They saved you? So, what's going on?"

"Harry, come on, tell everyone what happened."

Professor McGonagall asked Harry to come out and tell her what happened.

Harry stood up uneasily, glanced at Dumbledore and said, "That. Because we are worried about Ginny's situation."

Harry took a deep breath and took the initiative to tell everyone about his experience in the secret room.

Including how he and Mark got clues from the note in Hermione's hand, how the three of them took Professor Lockhart to the Chamber of Secrets, and until Tom suddenly woke up and attacked Tom Riddle in the diary.

After listening to Harry's story, everyone fell into silence.

Dumbledore cast a meaningful look at Tom, who had a calm face.

A ray of moonlight flashed across his half-moon glasses.

"What an unexpected ending, I'm most interested in it."

He cast his eyes on Tom, "Tom, how did you finally wake up under his bewitching?"

Professor McGonagall also cast a shocked look at Tom.

She had always suspected that this student who was concerned by Dumbledore was related to the mysterious man twelve years ago. Now she heard that the other party actually took the initiative to kill Tom Riddle in the diary, and her face was full of disbelief.

"I just thought of what my father said to me, so I woke up in the end."

Tom lied without changing his face.

"What?"

"The most powerful magic in this world is love. Tom Riddle in the diary said that he has the most powerful wizard power. I think, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be as powerful as the magic my father said."

Listening to what Tom said, Dumbledore was slightly stunned.

Professor McGonagall's expression softened. After a while, she asked Tom: "Tom, do you know what the two spells you cast are?"

Tom pretended not to understand, "No, I don't know. He told me in the diary at the time that these are just two very powerful spells, and asked me not to use them easily."

Professor McGonagall did not doubt it. She sighed slightly and said: "Those two spells are unforgivable curses. They are banned by the Ministry of Magic. If you use this kind of spell, you will be imprisoned in Azkaban."

"So."

Professor McGonagall looked at the Weasleys and Ron and others, "I hope everyone will not tell others about Tom's use of these two spells."

Harry and Ron nodded.

The Weasleys also promised to keep it secret.

"Tom, give me the diary."

Peter asked Tom to give him the diary.

Tom nodded, took out the black diary from his arms and handed it to him.

After Peter took it, he flipped through a few pages of the wet diary and handed it to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore took the diary and lowered his head to read it carefully.

Observing the diary, Dumbledore said with emotion: "Tom Riddle, he is probably the smartest student in the history of Hogwarts."

He looked at the confused Weasleys and Harry.

"Few people know that Voldemort was once called Riddle. 50 years ago, I was his teacher at Hogwarts. I thought he would achieve good results in the future and make everyone he knew proud of him."

"But after leaving school, he disappeared... He went to a faraway place... He immersed himself in the dark arts and made friends with a group of dark wizards."

Holding the diary in his hand, Dumbledore fell into memories of the past. He said with a heavy heart: "After that, he transformed into the dark wizard Voldemort. At that time, only his appearance was recognizable. Almost no one would associate Voldemort with the smart boy he once was. "

"That's not your fault, Professor Dumbledore. You can't see through a person who harbors evil intentions from the beginning. He is cold-blooded, cruel, indifferent to all emotions, and very conceited, self-willed, and despises all creatures except pure-blooded wizards. He looks down on them from the bottom of his heart."

After a moment of silence, Tom said to Dumbledore seriously: "I can feel his character in his diary."

Dumbledore listened to Tom's words, as if he knew Tom again.

He walked to Tom and touched his hair, "You are right, Tom, his character has flaws. Sometimes, power does not mean everything. When we walk on the road of life, chasing power is not the only thing."

"He knows nothing about the power of love. He thinks that 'art' is the first and 'Tao' is discarded. He has been pursuing the so-called power without paying attention to the essence. On the road of power and immortality, perhaps, he has gone a long way, but on the journey of love, he has hardly stepped out of the original place. "

Dumbledore, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes, gently stroked Tom's hair and said to him: "Tom, I hope that one day, you can take more steps on the road of love, instead of staying where you are. It’s about going further.”

Harry next to him fell into deep thought as he listened to Dumbledore's words.

In the secret room, Tom Riddle wanted to know how he defeated Voldemort as a helpless baby.

Now he wanted to.

The reason is probably the love that Principal Dumbledore said.

Love is the greatest magic in the world. Mother's love helped her resist Voldemort's curse.

On one side, Dumbledore and Tom had just finished talking, and on the other side, Ginny started crying during the conversation with her mother.

"Sorry, Mom, I didn't mean to do those things. I thought someone left that diary there."

Seeing Ginny choked and crying, Peter came over to comfort the little girl.

"Miss Weasley should go to the hospital to recuperate for a while. This is a terrible experience for her. I don't think there is any need to punish her. Those wizards who are older and smarter than her have all been deceived by Voldemort, let alone Ginny and Tom, right? Professor Dumbledore."

Dumbledore was startled for a moment, then looked at Peter with a complicated mood.

You have said what I want to say, what else can I say?

"Mr. Padrick is right, Miss Weasley, go and rest first. Maybe eating a large cup of chocolate before going to bed will make you feel better."

Dumbledore's gaze slowly swept across everyone's eyes.

"Also, I want to announce something, something very important."

He smiled and said to everyone: "Harry, Mark, Raven, Tom, Loki and Ron, you will all receive the 'Service School Special Award', and let me think about it, I think each of you can do something for Add 200 points to your own academy.”

When Ron heard that he had also been awarded two hundred points, Ron's face immediately turned red with excitement.

Peter was completely numb when he heard Dumbledore's extra point rule.

Mark, Harry and Ron are from Gryffindor House. These three add up to a total of 600 points. Doesn't this completely crush the other three houses?

This old boy's partiality for Gryffindor House is really unabashed.

Raven next to her curled her lips in dissatisfaction after hearing Dumbledore's words.

Gryffindor suddenly gained 600 points, and it was almost the end of the semester. This did not mean that the Academy Cup was directly awarded to Gryffindor.

Peter saw his daughter's dissatisfaction, walked over and gently touched his daughter's hair.

Then he turned his gaze to the Gothic-style spire outside.

It's been a really long day tonight.

The next day, Padrick Farm.

Clark was flipping through newspapers at the door. After putting down the "Daily Planet" newspaper, he picked up a "Daily Prophet".

The image of moving figures in the newspaper startled him.

After seeing that he was holding a newspaper from the Wizarding World of Hogwarts, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets incident has been solved. The murderer was a dark wizard. The terrorist has been defeated by Gilderoy Lockhart!"

Clark looked at the contents of the newspaper in surprise.

He once heard Ruiwen talk about the secret room incident in their school, but he didn't expect it to be resolved now.

"However, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart was unfortunately struck by the Forgetting Curse during his battle with the dark wizard, causing him to lose his memory. Now the professor himself is in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, receiving treatment to restore his memory."

Seeing Clark here, he looked towards Loki who was coming downstairs.

"Loki, has your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher lost his memory?"

After hearing this, Loki coughed.

Feeling guilty, he straightened his body and nodded, "Yes, he was cast by a dark wizard with a forgetting spell."

Loki said in his heart that this is not my fault. In order to prevent this guy from shouting randomly, I can only apply the Forgetting Curse to control him.

Besides, this guy is not a good person, and he wants to cast an oblivion curse on Mark. His ending can only be regarded as evil retribution.

"What a shame."

Clark said with some regret: "I really like his book "Walking with Vampires" and "Breaking with the Female Ghost". I also wanted to meet him before."

"Forget it if we meet, I guess he is lying on the hospital bed now, confused in front of a room full of letters from readers."

Loki said casually.

He didn't have the heart to tell Clark the truth.

Let this beautiful image of Professor Lockhart remain deeply in Clark's heart.

Amen!
