Chapter 523: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 221

Headmaster Buliduo finally lowered his head and blinked kindly at them.

The diary was solved.

But the impact it brought was more than that.

Harry and Luo En were called away by Buliduo; they told the whole story of how they used Sean's basilisk fang to solve the diary. Harry subconsciously skipped the dream part; he always felt that the Headmaster shouldn't be unaware of the spirit of Hogwarts Castle.

But the Headmaster's next words made his eyes widen.

Inside the Hope Cabin.

Hermione looked at the returning Harry and asked:

"So who is Tang Mu Riddle? Did you ask Headmaster Buliduo?"

Harry sat by the fireplace, not knowing what he was thinking:

"It's Voldemort."

This scared the few of them a lot.

But not Sean, because he had already arrived at Hagrid's hut.

The diary was solved, and Hogwarts would enter a truly peaceful time.

Sean needed to develop Basilisk biscuits as soon as possible—his alchemy progress should be improved.

Besides that, a special guy was also waiting for him to deal with... a special, surviving... rat.

As for now, he might be able to help Hagrid clear his name.

For many years, Hagrid had lived as the murderer who killed Moaning Myrtle.

Of course, he himself also had some problems, raising werewolf cubs under his bed, privately raising an Acromantula...

It was hard to imagine what his roommate's mentality would be.

"Sean, come in quickly—"

Hagrid was outside the house, picking pumpkins from the ground; in a while, Professor Fuliwei would carve the huge pumpkins he planted into lanterns, which was something he was very proud of.

"No, Hagrid,"

Sean said, waving his wand, and a stone rolled over and turned into a table and chairs,

"Look at this..."

Sean handed over a copy of the diary.

Hagrid took the diary inexplicably, and in a while, he stood in the mud motionless.

"The Daily Prophet sent a reporter, the Basilisk's skin was also found, and Myrtle will help testify that the murderer was the Basilisk...

You are innocent, Hagrid, everyone will know this."

Sean said softly.

"Ah, ah..."

Large tears seeped into Hagrid's beard.

This Wan Shengjie Eve, rumors were flying at Hogwarts.

It was raining outside the window, and the Great Hall became a good place to spread rumors.

"Have you heard about the Chamber of Secrets? And Slytherin's heir?"

A Hufflepuff whispered.

"Need you ask!"

The shorter Erni wanted to continue, but his mouth was covered.

Because a group of Slytherins happened to walk by.

"... Of course I know, although my father wouldn't tell me any situation when the Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Of course, that was fifty years ago, he hadn't been born yet, but he knows everything.

He said it was all confidential, and only a few people would know."

Ma Er paused, seemingly waiting for something.

Sure enough, in a while, someone started to flatter him.

Even a few senior Slytherins listened with interest.

"Well, let me tell you: the Chamber of Secrets was opened, and last time, a Mudblood died.

So, if it opens again, I bet a Mudblood will die this time too, it's just a matter of time... I hope it's Granger."

He said with relish.

"What about Slytherin's heir? Young Master Ma Er?"

Someone asked.

"Heh—"

Ma Er raised his face and said nothing, but everyone knew what he meant.

Pan Xi looked at him with infatuation, while Gao Er and Ke La Bu raised their fat faces.

They walked past the fireplace in the corner; they wouldn't have dared to walk here in the past, but today they had forgotten.

"Only those with noble blood can, as for some despicable ones..."

Theodore said pointedly.

"Shut up! Theodore!"

Ma Er hurriedly stopped his provocation.

Sean was holding a copy of the "Daily Prophet," and when he looked up, Ma Er and the others had already fled quickly.

"I hope their heads can be harder than the Basilisk's."

Luo En curled his lips; if they knew Sean had defeated a fifteen-meter-long Basilisk alone with a sword, I'm afraid it would be very difficult for them to even look at Sean.

At dinner today,

Harry and the other two still pretended to ask Sean casually how he fought the Basilisk.

"I used some Transfiguration..."

Sean just started, and Harry and the other two didn't intend to listen.

Fine, they should have thought of it; even if Sean summoned a meteor from the sky, he would only say:

"I used an Accio spell."

This made Sean a little confused, but it didn't matter.

Rita would come to Hogwarts tomorrow to write a brand-new report for Hagrid; he had been wrongly imprisoned and expelled from school. Now, he needed to clear his name.

This difficulty was not low.

The Ministry of Magic might not necessarily do such a thankless job.

But Sean didn't care much; the important thing was that people should know Hagrid was wronged.

Although Sean didn't think Hagrid privately raising werewolf cubs and Acromantulas was correct, it was clearly not right to impose Tang Mu's crimes on him.

Night.

Library.

The Restricted Section was at the back of the library. Sean avoided the rope that separated these books from other collections and entered it with a bit of excitement.

Maybe he could find some books related to the Basilisk...

There were too many books in the Restricted Section; some had peeling, faded gold-leaf letters, spelling out puzzling words;

Some books had no titles at all. One book had a dark stain on it, very much like blood, looking very terrifying;

Sean even heard faint whispers coming from the books.

Soon, his gaze was attracted by a book; when Sean walked over, it emitted a faint, evil-smelling smoke and made a series of hair-raising screams.

It was a small book with a black and silver cover,

On it was written: "Most Poisonous Magic." ===== CHAPTER 524 =====
