Chapter 224 The Dormant Voldemorts

"I mean what is the monster in the chamber of secrets."

"I know it was controlled by Voldemort."

Ron said unhappily.

Hagrid's face showed fear and anger when he heard Voldemort, and he couldn't help but become curious after hearing about Slytherin's monster.

"So," Harry said, lost in memory, "it was a basilisk."

"The shed skin alone is at least twenty feet long."

"That little—" Hagrid began to get excited. "I mean, that horrible monster?"

“It’s still alive.”

Harry and Ron were both very upset.

Little did Hagrid realize that his so-called cutie had killed Myrtle, leading to his expulsion.

Although Harry thought that the basilisk was most likely innocent and being controlled, Hagrid's attitude was also -

"It's still alive. As a legacy of Slytherin, it never caused any casualties among young wizards before Voldemort appeared."

"If they collide, Dumbledore might take action."

"But we only saw its shed skin."

Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief, "Can I go see it then?"

He forced out his sadness and resentment. "In addition to the mysterious man, that monster is also the indirect murderer who caused me to be imprisoned. I must get in touch with it to find out whether it is a threat to the school."

Harry was speechless. "That's a basilisk! Its stare can kill people. Anyone who is stared at by it will die immediately."

"You still want to see it! I really am——"

"Just looking at it can kill people!" Ron exclaimed, "So dangerous? No wonder that old lunatic in Slytherin chose it as a murder weapon."

"Why doesn't Dumbledore kill it! Such a dangerous monster is in the castle, what if——"

"Kill it?" Hagrid said angrily. "It's very rare and valuable!"

"It is a rare animal that can only be hatched from an egg by a toad at a specific time and under a specific constellation."

"And their weakness is very obvious. When they hear a rooster crow, they will run away in panic."

"The last thing that's lacking in the Forbidden Forest and beside my cabin is roosters."

Harry shook his head. "There's no point in killing it. Its only entrance to the castle is in the girls' bathroom where Myrtle is, and it can't open it on its own."

"Although it can move in the pipes, I have never heard it speak. It is very likely that it was arranged to live and hunt deep underground. I think the pipes of Hogwarts also need the help of the heir."

Ron muttered, "Well, it must be deep, or the ghosts would have found it."

"What are we planning to do here?"

Harry paused for a moment and looked at Hagrid.

Hagrid lowered his head and poked his thick index fingers at each other, like a little boy who had been caught doing something wrong.

"My exoneration."

Harry was speechless. "Then can you talk about how you were expelled?"

"It must make sense that Dumbledore hasn't dealt with it until now."

"By the way, what does this have to do with Aragog?"

"Because I remember you once said that it was also the 'monster' mentioned in your dismissal notice."

"It's him," Hagrid corrected. "I'm a typical Gryffindor."

"I've been in trouble every other week since I started school, just like Fred and George."

"Raising werewolf cubs under the bed and sneaking into the forbidden forest to fight trolls caused great headaches for the then headmaster, Armando Dippet."

At this, Hagrid gave a delighted chuckle.

Harry and Ron looked at each other; they decided that was reason enough to get expelled.

And Hagrid hadn't gotten to the point yet.

"In my third year, I no longer ventured beyond the Forbidden Forest."

"Hogsmeade has also opened up its mysteries to me."

"I was a frequent pub-goer at the time, and my larger stature made people think I was an adult and could have something more stimulating than butterbeer."

"As a purely wizarding village, Hogsmeade attracts many foreign wizards who come to visit."

"Of course. Not as lively as it is now."

"It also brought in a lot of contraband, including eggs of more than 4x magical creatures."

"The Hog's Head, with its patrons keeping their heads covered, is a perfect place to trade these contraband items."

"I was short of money at the time and could only watch helplessly from the sidelines."

"But a generous traveler noticed the longing in my eyes and gave me Aragog's egg."

Harry and Ron looked at each other. No wonder Hagrid was not surprised by the dragon egg in their first year. It turned out that he had done this more than once.

"Of course, this is also related to my rich knowledge of those beautiful little cuties."

“At that time, I was still a little kid.”

"We'll just have to hide him in a cupboard in the castle and feed him the crumbs from the table."

"He is very sensible and has controlled his appetite for humans very well, which is rare for his species."

"He had never attacked anyone before the disaster last year."

"I guarantee you Aragog has never seen any part of the castle except the cupboard he grew up in."

At this point, Hagrid's voice began to choke.

"This happy time lasted only a short time."

"The body of the girl, Myrtle, was found in the bathroom."

"But it certainly wasn't done by Aragog. There aren't any wounds on the body."

"This incident has become such a big deal that the school is going to be closed."

"And then Tom..." Hagrid took a deep breath, as if he had seen something dirty, "The You-Know-Who in my youth, the man I once thought was my friend, came to me and planned to use Aragog as a scapegoat."

"After using a spell to open the chest, Aragog fled in a panic - towards the Forbidden Forest."

"But even so, Tom still wanted to take action."

"What can I do? I can only take his wand away and knock him to the ground."

Harry and Ron already had a picture in their minds.

The strong Hagrid pinned the thin Voldemort to the ground. Voldemort could only struggle helplessly and watch Aragog escape.

For a moment, they forgot to call a halt, not realizing that they had figured out the whole story, and just listened quietly.

Hagrid continued, "Unfortunately, Principal Armando was also called in, and I was caught red-handed."

"You all know the rest of the story. Tom received an award for his special contribution to the school."

"I was expelled and my wand was broken."

"Luckily, my poor father had passed away a year ago. If he knew I was fired, he would have fainted from rage."

"Later, the great Dumbledore believed that I was innocent."

"I convinced Principal Armando to allow me to stay in school and follow Ogg, the gamekeeper at the time."

"When I came of age, he helped me take over the position of gamekeeper."

"And fixed my wand."

"And all these years, Aragog has lived in the woods." "I visited him often, and gave him a female Acromantula, Mosag."

"He and his children are thriving in the Forbidden Forest and are always given a warm welcome whenever I visit."

Tears welled up in Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes, and all the things from the past resurfaced in his mind.

Being licked by Aragog's children, Aragog yelled jealously, and his children scattered in dissatisfaction, rubbing their mouths and claws together.
While Hagrid was silently recalling the past, Harry and Ron also came back to their senses.

For the first time, they felt that Hagrid's expulsion was actually correct.

I'm afraid that more than one eyewitness who witnessed the incident knew that Hagrid was innocent.

But Hagrid was just good enough to be expelled, and even overdue for expulsion.

If we expel Hagrid now, we can also take the blame and keep the school open. Why not do it?

It can also be seen from the fact that Hagrid was able to stay in Hogwarts seamlessly and successfully inherited the lucrative position of gamekeeper that the then headmaster Armando also knew that Hagrid was innocent in this matter.

So Hagrid didn't need to be cleared of the charges.

No one actually bothered him about not being able to use a wand.

The two of them began to back out.

"Harry," Ron said stiffly, "we've got everything sorted out. It's time to go."

Harry nodded quickly, "Yes, we should go."

Without waiting for Hagrid to answer.

The next second, two beams of light enveloped the two people and they disappeared on the spot.

In his own world, this large-scale mobilization of light channels naturally could not be hidden from Bagir's eyes.

However, Bajir had already added Harry to the whitelist.

And what happened between Harry and Ron today reminded him of the ignored basilisk.

In fact, he once thought about making a basilisk card, but he didn't have enough gems.

But now, for him now, the basilisk has been deprecated.

The murderous gaze and the poison that can destroy the Horcruxes, Basil has a hundred kinds of simulated reproductions.

Simply put, for Basil, firing the Killing Curse with his eyes hidden is as easy as breathing.

However, for Kobayashi Masaru, who now dares not leave the castle gate and hides in the shadows all day to avoid the light of the World Tree and meet Harry.

The basilisk is still a trump card he needs to master.

But now, the most important thing for him is how to bypass the devil's net throughout the hall.

He had just been hiding at the entrance some time ago, but only recently did he notice the changes in the hall.

Those devil's snares absorbed the venom of the basilisk and were not afraid of sunlight or fire.

Unless one uses destructive black magic like Fiendfyre, or finds a way to move through space, there is no way to bypass it.

The familiar remnants of the magical magnetic field from other clones prevented him from using these noisy methods.

Therefore, it was also possible to deny the idea of having the house-elf Laila, who was from Slytherin, take him to Apparate.

He couldn't guarantee that he was among the masters that Lai Lai recognized.

But the basilisk is different. Even if he recognizes other masters, he still has a way to regain control using Parseltongue.

This knowledge comes from the crown of Ravenclaw, and only he, whose soul and crown are one, knows it.

Even the subject does not understand.

There are countless forbidden dark magic knowledge in it.

No wonder Ravenclaw was reluctant to give the diadem to his daughter.

Are you afraid of affecting your image in your daughter's mind?
It's ridiculous. It's not completely bad.

But no matter how much he looked down on Ravenclaw.

But the knowledge contained in it is indeed very useful, especially the method of sacrificing powerful magical creatures to forge a new body and live another life.

And this thousand-year-old basilisk is the best target.

"I must get you." Xiao Lin muttered while looking at the statue of Slytherin, "You are my only chance to surpass the main body."

"Hatch!" A curled-up baby sneezed deep in Borneo.

But only the appearance is similar. It has no hair, and its body seems to be covered with scales. The skin is dark and red, like injured tender flesh.

Its arms and legs were thin and soft, and its face—no living child had a face like it—was a flat, snakelike face with a pair of glowing red eyes.

And this slimy, ugly thing was in the arms of a quiet girl.

The contrast between ugliness and beauty is like heaven and hell.

One can't help but wonder what kind of compassionate heart the girl had that she didn't strangle this devilish baby to death.

She patted the 'baby's' back gently, "Do you need another set of clothes?"

A sharp, cold voice came out of the 'baby's' mouth, "It's the damned traitor, he's looking for me!"

Thinking of this, 'baby' wanted to kill someone.

He thought that the people chasing him would be Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic.

However, the sense of closeness that came from the soul level made him realize that the one chasing him was none other than the diary he met last year.

That fragment of his soul when he was 17 years old.

He was kind enough to give the little kid a place to stay and a way to escape from Hogwarts.

The result was that he was hunted down.

The Malfoy family, which was originally intended to be occupied by Lucius, was also occupied by the young man.

He had to abandon Nagini, whom he had just found, and create a temporary body.

He even had to flee the Albanian forest and come to the tropical rainforest of Kalimantan Island, which was full of giant eight-eyed spiders.

"Avada, eat the big melon!" The quiet girl stretched out her index finger, and the green light of death flashed.

A huge, hairy, low body froze, its black legs knotted into a ball, its two knife-sharp claws stopped dancing, and its eight sparkling eyes lost their luster.

"Disgusting spider." The 'baby' growled, "Disgusting Rubeur!"

This reminded him of the tragic experience of being pinned down and abused by Ruburt.

If Armando hadn't been right next to me -

"Listen carefully, I want to drink meat soup later."

"Stupid spider, besides your venom, your only value is your leg meat."

Having said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the girl's face.

"Albus Dumbledore, your students are at my mercy even after they die."

"Dorcus Meadows, as powerful as you are, you are now nothing more than a puppet dancing in my hands."

The little hand covered with red scales opened, and the palm was as black as the hair of an eight-eyed giant spider, which made him gloomy.

"Tom Riddle!"

"If it wasn't for you, how could Nagini be separated from me?"

"Why would I choose spider venom to maintain the stability of my body?"
