Chapter 279 The Potter Trio’s Pursuit, Hagrid’s Puzzle!!

After reaching a tacit agreement with Tom Reed, Peter continued to soak in the library every day.

Tom Riddle seemed to have no movements, and his daily dedication to being a professor made him more and more popular in the school, and many students thought that this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor was the best ever.

At the same time, the Potter trio’s investigation of Lockhart finally came to fruition.

“Dobby, you mean you stole the diary from Peter and gave it to us?”

Harry looked in amazement at dobby, the house-elf in front of him.

Dobby nodded and asked in horror, “Harry Potter lost his diary?” It’s too bad! That diary will be possessed! Dobby couldn’t find the diary at all! ”

Listening to Dobby’s voice, Harry was a little embarrassed, and although he didn’t remember it, it was obviously a mess.

“I rearranged my thoughts, and I think we should have, after getting the diary Dobby had given us, ready to give it to the professor, but I don’t know how to get it into Lockhart’s hands!” Then Lockhart used the Forgotten Curse on us! Let’s forget about it! ”

Hermione said speculatively.

“And I have a not-so-good guess! Lockhart was probably possessed! ”

Hermione said solemnly, “Have you noticed that Professor Lockhart now feels completely different from the Lockhart we met in Diagon Alley and at the beginning of the school year!” ”

“It’s just too bad! First we lost a memory, and now Lockhart is possessed again! What the hell is this diary? Not only can you open the secret room, but you can also control people, and it feels like a person lives inside! ”

Ron grumbled.

“You remember, when peter was at the Lichen Bookstore, they said that the owner of this diary was a man named Tom Riddle!”

Harry said with a serious look, “At that time, I was quite curious about this person, until I followed Ron to the prize showroom the day before yesterday to see Peter’s special contribution medal, only to find that there was a person next to him who also won the special contribution award, named Tom Riddle!” ”

“Yes, Harry didn’t say that, I almost forgot!” At that time, I also said that this person who won the special contribution award did not even write a reason for the award, which was simply strange! ”

Ron remembered and said.

“It’s so strange, who the hell is this Tom Riddle?” How come we never heard his name? His diary is so dangerous, and he has won a special contribution award, it should not be an unknown person! ”

Hermione frowned and thought.

“Maybe he’s already dead, or he’s changed his name!” After all, the name Tom Riddle is so common! ”

Ron said casually with a skimmer.

“Maybe we can ask Peter, he knows this man!”

Hermione said.

“No, Peter is now so close to Lockhart that he may be controlled too!”

And I’ve heard Fred complain that Peter is very good at mind reading and can’t hide secrets in front of him!

If we were to inquire, he would definitely see it! How do we explain that we took his diary and lost it? ”

Harry shook his head.

“Ask Fred and George, they’re inseparable from Peter, and they know for sure who Tom Riddle is!”

Ron suggested.

“Then we might as well ask Peter directly!” Fred, in front of Peter, could not hide secrets! ”

Harry rolled his eyes and said.

“I think we can go and ask Hagrid, Hagrid has been in school for a long time, and he must know Tom Riddle!”

Harry stood up and said affirmatively.

The two companions nodded in agreement, and then the three of them went to Hagrid’s hut together.

As soon as Hagrid saw the three men, he warmly invited them in.

Struggling to nibble on the rock pie, Harry, reminded by Hermione, finally asked Hagrid if he knew Tom Riddle.

Upon hearing this name, Hagrid’s expression changed, and then he said angrily: “Of course I know him, it is this bad billet!” Framed me! Got me expelled from school and broke my wand! ”

“If Peter hadn’t discovered the Chamber of Secrets and killed the Basilisk inside, I might have been saddled with this crime for the rest of my life!”

Hagrid said gratefully, “Recently Dumbledore and Peter have proved my innocence to the Ministry of Magic, which has promised to absolve me of my charges!” I can use my wand in the future! ”

“Congratulations Hagrid!”

The three of them were equally happy for Hagrid.

Then Hermione asked, “Hagrid, since you know Tom Riddle, can you tell us about him?” ”

“What’s there to say about this bad billet?”

Hai Ge said unhappily, but for the sake of the three people’s curiosity, he still explained, “This Riddle, like Peter, is a Slytherin student, with excellent grades, many professors like him, and when I was expelled, he was already the president of the student council!” ”

“At that time, I secretly raised an eight-eyed giant spider that had just been born and named him Aragok, but it was discovered by Tom Riddle!

He told Principal Deepett about it! And testify that I was the murderer of Myrtle at that time!

All the professors at that time believed his words, and only Dumbledore was willing to assure me!

But the Ministry of Magic convicted me, expelled me from school, and broke my wand! I was homeless, and it was Dumbledore who took me in! ”

“The other day, Peter told me that the murderer who actually opened the Chamber of Secrets and killed Myrtle was Tom Riddle who reported me!

This bad billet! He was also homeless at the time, and in order to avoid the closure of the school, he blamed him on me! I actually shirked it myself! ”

Hagrid slammed his fists in anger and slammed the table with a hiss.

“Calm down, Hagrid!”

The three of them quickly comforted, “Hagrid, you see you can sit here leisurely now, and that Tom Riddle doesn’t know where to die!” ”

Upon hearing the words of the three people, Hagrid was even more unpeaceful, and roared, “This bad billet is so bad in school!” Later, it got worse, he gave himself a new name, gathered a large number of followers, and killed people and set fires everywhere! And killed poor Lily and James! ”

“What!”

The three of them couldn’t sit still and looked at Hagrid stunned.

Harry asked in disbelief, “Hagrid, you mean Tom Riddle is Voldemort?!” ”

Hagrid realized that something was wrong with his words, calmed down slightly, and whispered to the three of them, “Not many people know about this, so you should pay attention to confidentiality!” ”

The three of them nodded, then asked impatiently, “Hagrid, what the hell is going on?” How could this Voldemort graduate from Hogwarts? ”

“Do you still expect him to jump out of the ground?”

Hagrid brushed his lips and said, “He is a few grades older than me, and I heard that he lives in a Muggle orphanage, and it was Dumbledore himself who introduced him to school!”

He was polite and popular in school! Many people thought he would enter the Ministry of Magic, maybe he would become the Minister of Magic in the future!

But as soon as he graduated, he disappeared, and a few years later suddenly appeared at the school to apply to Dumbledore for a position as a professor of defence against the Dark Arts.

But Dumbledore refused, so he cursed the position in exasperation! ”
