Until the vitality provided by Solim’s blood was exhausted, Riddle still did not confide in anything. But none of that matters to Solim. He should have known what he should have known, this time it was just a show, and wanted to see what Dumbledore wanted to do with the diary.

Dumbledore was silent for a while, as if thinking about something.

“Solim, you got this diary from Malfoy Manor, did Lucius say anything to you then?” Dumbledore asked.

He said that the diary had been given to him by Voldemort when he came to the manor alone. Obviously, with that man’s nature, if he only made one Horcrux, then he would only hide it in a place he knew, but since he could give one to the Malfoys, then he must have made several. Solim then added, “Seriously, I don’t believe Voldemort wouldn’t see that Malfoy wasn’t loyal to him, and the Death Eaters who were loyal to him were now in Azkaban.” ”

“You mean that since Malfoy can have one, then those Death Eaters who are more loyal to Voldemort might also have his Horcruxes?” Dumbledore could hear what Solim was trying to say, “It’s quite possible…”

“So… Headmaster, what are you going to do with this diary? Solim asked, “This diary was made when he was a minor, and it must have been much easier to destroy.” ”

Dumbledore obviously had his own thoughts about the diary, he put it away directly and said to Solim: “I’ll deal with the diary matter, I have a little other idea about it, maybe there will be some interesting things happening in the school next semester.” Dumbledore glanced at Solim with deep meaning.

Clams? Solim was stunned when he heard Dumbledore’s words, and in his original plan, he was ready to do the same as the original: let the diary enter Hogwarts, and then let him open the Chamber of Secrets, awaken the basilisk, and follow behind to detect leaks. But due to the discovery of Silna’s parseltongue talent, Solim changed his plans, and since Silna could speak snakes, the role of the diary was gone. Then the safer way is to take your sister or let your sister teach you those few snake words, and go down and get the basilisk yourself, so that nothing will happen in school this year.

But Dumbledore’s words seemed to mean that he was going to use this diary to do something. Carefully went through it in his mind, the Myrtle incident that year, Dumbledore was only a professor of Transfiguration class, but he must have suspected Riddle, and this diary is Riddle’s memory when he was 16 years old. And there is no saying in the wizarding world that “dead people can keep secrets”, Myrtle is dead, but her ghost is still at Hogwarts, Solim has reason to believe that Dumbledore already knows the ins and outs of what happened, so what he wants to do with this diary is almost out of the blue.

“Headmaster…” Solim’s expression was as constipated, in his opinion, everything on the basilisk should be his, “Your next semester, isn’t it… Want to open… Chamber? Solim asked this carefully, while paying close attention to Dumbledore’s face. But obviously, as long as someone like Dumbledore doesn’t want to, you won’t see anything in his face.

“I’ve never thought of you as an eleven-year-old, Solim.” Dumbledore said, “But I have to say, sometimes you know more than the professors at Hogwarts. ”

Solim understood that Dumbledore wanted to hear his own explanation, “When Voldemort went to school, a man died in the school, and poor Miss Warren still cries in the women’s bathroom often. It’s not something out of the ordinary, Professor. Solim put down Erlang’s leg and continued: “As for the rumors that there are secret rooms in Hogwarts, hehe, there are more secret rooms in Hogwarts, but the discussion between ordinary insiders is generally the secret room left by Slytherin. The one 70 years ago wasn’t the only time it opened, it was opened once in the 13th century, and it was opened in the 15th century. Only someone like Voldemort, who had no knowledge of past history, would believe that the Chamber of Secrets was used to purge the school of Muggles. ”

Listening to Solim’s words, Dumbledore asked with interest: “It seems that you know that Chamber of Secrets very well?” I, the headmaster, only know that such a secret room exists, and you even know that it has been opened twice? ”

“Both times Hogwarts was attacked, Hogwarts was established in 993, and within a few years, Slytherin left, and the Chamber of Secrets he left behind was used to defend the school,” Solim explained, “Headmaster, you also know that the defensive statues in the school are disposable, broken is broken, and in those chaotic years, each generation of headmasters had a headache to replenish the statues. Salazar Slytherin placed a creature in the Chamber of Secrets, and in the event that the school was violently attacked and most of the defenses were destroyed, the creature in the Chamber would be released to kill enemies in the shadows and defend the school through pipes buried in Hogwarts Castle. It wasn’t meant to purge the school of Muggles, with the pride of Slytherin, he might not trust Muggles, maybe despise them, but as long as he came to Hogwarts and became a student at Hogwarts, he would treat them equally, and in his years in the school, there had not been a single attack on Muggle students. The rumors about the secret room are all nonsense of posterity. ”

Dumbledore listened to Solim’s words and rubbed his eyebrows, “So, do you know what creatures are in that secret room?” ”

“I’ll say it first, Headmaster.” Solim hurriedly gave Dumbledore a preventive injection: “The things in there are mine.” Whether alive or dead. Seeing that I have helped you so much, it should be a thank you to me. ”

Dumbledore saw Solim’s anxious look and smiled: “It seems that you are very nervous about that creature? ”

“What kind of creature is there, Headmaster, you also understand it in your heart, right? After Myrtle became a ghost, I don’t believe you didn’t ask her what caused her death. “That’s what Dumbledore likes: pretending to be confused.

Suddenly, Dumbledore’s expression changed, and he said to Solim: “Okay, let’s do it first, I will arrange the things for next semester, Harry really has to grow up as soon as possible, while there is still time.” Saying that, Dumbledore stood up, “Severus is over, let’s go check it out.” ”

Solim was not surprised that Dumbledore could feel the situation below. After all, he is a great wizard, and his perception of magic power is far more than that of ordinary people.

Solim and Dumbledore went to the basement.

“Headmaster, is there a way to retain the function of the Resurrection Stone while destroying the Horcruxes?”

“I think not,” Dumbledore said regretfully, “The Death Curse is deeply related to this Horcrux, and if the curse is intact, it may be possible to cause the curse and destroy the Horcrux at the same time, but when the curse is lifted by Elrond, the soul in that Horcrux no longer has any contact with the outside.” It can only be destroyed by external destruction, and this Horcrux can be destroyed. Very clever design… There is no way for me to destroy the Horcrux in this situation while retaining the function of the Resurrection Stone. It was also because the curse was destroyed and the souls inside could not affect the outside world, that Severus was able to use the Resurrection Stone normally. ”

Listening to Dumbledore’s explanation, Solim was a little dumbfounded. The Resurrection Stone was originally under Dumbledore’s self-sacrifice, not only destroyed the Horcrux, but also retained the function of the Resurrection Stone, but because Elrond lifted the curse above in advance, the soul in the Horcrux and the only passage to the outside world were gone, which led to the fact that Voldemort’s soul inside could not affect the outside world, but the outside world could no longer destroy it except by using violent means. This means that one day in the future, the Resurrection Stone will be destroyed and one of the Deathly Hallows will disappear from this world forever.
