Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 326 The Return
A pair of armor placed at the end of the corridor reflected the eyes of the basilisk, and Professor Bubaji was petrified before taking two steps.

"Long sleep..."

Kyle, who rushed over, managed to get the basilisk back into the secret room by using the "shutdown password" that Slytherin once said.

But then he was a little troubled?
Kerry Dibbaji was only discovered at night, but it is broad daylight now, and this corridor is the only way to the fourth floor. If it is left alone, someone will definitely find it.

No way, Kyle could only transfer her to an empty classroom next to her, and then left in a hurry.

In the evening, he went to the kitchen again, claiming that he wanted to practice magic there, and asked the house-elf to clean it up.

They happily agreed.

……

After that, the ghost in December and the dwarf on Valentine's Day also passed smoothly without any accidents in between.

Kyle also gradually got used to the days when he didn't have to go to class and just read books every day, or practiced silent spells.

He also tried casting spells without a staff...

To be honest, this is much simpler than he imagined, it only needs to have enough control over the magic power to do it.

But if it can be used, it can be used, but the effect of the magic spell is very average, or very poor.

It's like the difference between sawing wood and chopping wood with bare hands, neither is right.

Without the assistance of the wand, it took him two months to finally turn the beetle into a complete button... To describe it specifically, it was probably about the same strength as Ron.

However, there were troubles during this period, that is, for a period of time, the Gryffindor trio would often come to the Room of Requirement.

Fortunately, Hogwarts Castle is very big, and Kyle can always find other places. Anyway, they are all reading books, no matter where they are.

……

Wait until Hagrid is taken away by the Ministry of Magic.

After that, whether it was reading a book or practicing spells, it was difficult for Kyle to concentrate again.

This means that the fifth attack is coming soon... Whether it is the petrified Ron or the time loop that is about to end, Kyle feels an inexplicable tension in his heart.

In this case, he was even nearly discovered.

It was the fifth day after Hagrid was taken away, and Kyle absently pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement, planning to go to the Chamber of Secrets.

As a result, he forgot to use the Disillusionment Charm, and also met Hermione who had just come up the stairs.

"Kyle?"

Hermione looked at him in surprise, her eyes full of doubts, "You... Aren't you still eating in the auditorium? Why are you here!"

"Oh, I just remembered that I forgot my "Intermediate Transfiguration" in the Room of Requirement."

Kyle tried his best to behave calmly, "But I came up through a secret passage, so you didn't see me."

"There are secret passages in Hogwarts?" Hermione was even more surprised.

"Of course." Kyle nodded. "It's on the second floor, behind the sphinx tapestry. From there, you can go straight to the eighth floor, which is much faster than taking the stairs."

"Well, this is the first time I've heard of this." Hermione suddenly said, without any doubts.

……

After this time, Kyle became more cautious. Every time he left the Room of Requirement, he would first check whether there was any problem with the Disillusionment Charm.

And so it was for a while.

On the day Ron was attacked, Kyle ventured to Fred and George and borrowed the Marauder's Map from them.

"If you want to find an heir, then you'd better not get your hopes up."

Fred said, "We've been staring at the Marauder's Map every night lately and can't find anything."

"I bet the guy must be scared." George shrugged.

Kyle took the Marauder's Map, "It's okay, anyway, I'm a bit bored these days, so I'll just pass the time."

"That's up to you." Fred didn't care either.

After getting the Marauder's Map, Kyle immediately went to the secret room.

Riddle was strong enough, and he was obviously aiming at the wand when he attacked Ron, so he would probably follow.

If this is the case, it will be difficult to think about doing anything else.

Kyle thought for a long time, and decided to take a risk and control the basilisk by himself.

Through the previous observations, Kyle found that Riddle didn't actually have too many restrictions on the basilisks, and more often they were raised free-range, which gave them a lot of room for manipulation.

He could have manipulated the basilisk to petrify Ron in advance, and pretended it was the basilisk's own actions... as long as Riddle got Ron's wand in the end.

As for time...

Professor McGonagall said in the school hospital that Ron was attacked after being separated from Lockhart.

Kyle opened the Marauder's Map and found Lockhart's name in the auditorium.

Ten minutes later, after the students had finished their meal, Lockhart left the auditorium with a group of people, including Ron's name.

Kyle stared nervously at the map.

After passing through several corridors, Lockhart's name stopped near the Gryffindor common room, and then began to return the same way.

Harry and Ron moved downstairs quickly, and they separated on the third floor. Harry went to the corridor where Filch was attacked, and Ron... Looking at the direction, he should be going to the place where the two ghosts were attacked.

It should be now, Kyle turned and summoned the basilisk.

But just as he was about to leave the secret room, there were new changes on the map.

Ron, who was moving fast, stopped suddenly after turning a corridor.

There was also the name of Peter Pettigrew, and he walked into a classroom next to him unhurriedly.

A few minutes later, Harry came. He lingered beside Ron for a while, and then ran quickly towards the third floor.

Then the professor also came, and seven or eight names sandwiched Ron in the middle, leading him towards the school hospital.

This……

Kyle looked at the basilisk beside him, and couldn't help but think of some possibility.

The one in Ron must be an ordinary petrification spell.

Thinking about it carefully, with Ron's personality, if he really wanted to steal his wand, he wouldn't need a basilisk. Even if the mouse stole it eight times a day, he wouldn't be able to find it.

Soon, as the professors all gathered in the school hospital, Peter Pettigrew came out.

When Kyle, who had reacted, was about to let the basilisk return to the statue, a familiar feeling of dizziness came quickly.

Everything around started to speed up, blurred colors and shapes flashed by...

Vaguely, Kyle seemed to hear Professor McGonagall's voice and a burst of ethereal music.

"Passed out!"

The blue light of the Stunning Curse flashed in front of his eyes.

Kyle saw the basilisk, its head was like a big pendulum, and it slammed into the pillar next to it.

A large crimson bird descended from the sky and landed on Kyle's shoulder, covering his eyes with its wings.

"Professor McGonagall... Fox..."

Kyle was overjoyed...he came back, back to the original time!
But then he seemed to think of something, and shouted:

"Close your eyes!"

Although the basilisk had just resisted Professor McGonagall's stun spell and was still a little dazed, it still closed its eyes obediently after hearing Kyle's voice.

Professor McGonagall stopped in his tracks, covering his mouth in disbelief: "Kyle, you..."

"No, Minerva, not Kyle."

Dumbledore came out from behind. He looked at the condensed black mist with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Tom Riddle!"

"Long time no see." Riddle turned around and said with a smile, "My dear Dumbledore... ah!"

Before he could finish his sentence, it turned into a scream that could almost pierce the eardrums.

Riddle's body twisted and struggled, his arms kept waving, screams came from his mouth, and then...

He disappeared like a poorly crafted shoddy firework.

"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore."

Kyle pulled the diary from the basilisk's fangs, "I guess you didn't want to talk to him, so you made it your own and shut him up."

"I have to say thank you." Dumbledore said softly, with a complicated expression.

"Who can tell us what's going on here." Professor McGonagall stepped forward, and she glanced at the huge basilisk, clutching her chest with her hands, gasping for air.

Harry squeezed his head out of the crowd... that's what he wanted to know, too.

"He's probably the best student Hogwarts has ever seen!"

Dumbledore said: "Very few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle, and I taught him 50 years ago at Hogwarts... After graduation, he disappeared, wandering around, in the quagmire of the dark magic Deeper and deeper, and finally re-emerged as Voldemort."

"But..." Professor McGonagall asked, "Why did he appear here?"

"It's a Horcrux, Professor."

Kyle lifted the ink-soaked diary, "This is what Voldemort left when he was in school, and it contains his 16-year-old soul."
