Chapter 161： Did Riddle ever transfer?

"Of course not," Sean replied immediately, "I just heard that the Chamber of Secrets was opened once fifty years ago—don't look at me like that, Hagrid, I don't think it was you, I just I think there might be some connection."

Seeing his sincere expression, Hagrid finally chose to trust Sean. He squatted down a little annoyed, and then told Sean what happened back then.

"When I was at Hogwarts, I was obviously an unpleasant student..." Hagrid recalled that year.

Listening and listening, even Sean lowered his head silently, he was afraid that his strange expression would be discovered by Hagrid.

Every other week, I have to make trouble, raise werewolf cubs under the bed in the dormitory, go to the Forbidden Forest to fight trolls, and since the third grade, I have been going in and out of Knockturn Alley by myself to buy rare magical animals brought by smugglers...

Hagrid, it's really strange that you can please... Sean sighed secretly.

However, Hagrid didn't notice Sean's unnatural movements, and he was immersed in unpleasant memories.

"The headmaster at the time was Mr. Armando Dippet. He, he obviously didn't like me very much..." Hagrid muttered, "In the fifth grade, the back room was opened, and the situation was as it is now. , no, even more serious, a girl lost her life because of it - Hogwarts has been closed, and Mr. Dippet learned about my private breeding of Aragog."

"Aragog is a giant eight-eyed spider," he explained, "but he is very human, and I can guarantee he has done nothing to harm anyone!"

Hagrid waved his huge fist angrily, but soon he wilted again: "But Mr. Dippet seems to think that's what I did, I got kicked out of Hogwarts and my wand was broken. Until the next year, the generous and wise Professor Dumbledore persuaded others to let me go back to Hogwarts, and then became gamekeeper, he always thought it was not me who did it, what a good man ."

Hagrid took out a black handkerchief, blew his nose, and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Hagrid, I don't think you did that either." Sean comforted softly.

"Oh, Sean, thank you," Hagrid looked moved, then sighed, "but the Ministry of Magic has always had my case -- I even think they're coming to school some time later. took me away."

He gave a wry smile.

"As long as we can find out the truth, Hagrid, I need you to tell me, was the girl who died back then was Myrtle?" Sean asked.

Hagrid gave him a surprised look: "How do you know? Yes, crying Myrtle is the poor girl, but she can't prove anything, Dumbledore has tried to clear my injustice, but Myrtle Mother doesn't know who the killer is - and the Ministry of Magic doesn't want to believe the testimony of a ghost, especially the ghost of Hogwarts. You know, they always feel that Dumbledore can control everything at Hogwarts, including Let a ghost give false testimony."

"So do you know Tom Riddle?" Sean asked another question.

"Oh, yes..." It seemed that Hagrid was a little embarrassed to know Riddle, and he didn't look very good. "In fact, he came to me last year, although we were not very familiar with it when we were in school— - But I didn't expect that he has become a dark wizard."

"Then, is it possible that Riddle framed you?" Sean asked persuasively.

"Riddle?" Hagrid showed a puzzled expression. "Although he went down a wrong path after that, he had no reason to frame me when he was in school."

"Why not? He might discover your secret or something..."

Hagrid touched his forehead. "He does look like someone who can do such a thing...but, it's impossible."

"Why?" This time it was Sean's turn to not understand.

"The Chamber of Secrets was opened when I was in the third year, and Riddle entered the school two years before me. If he was still at Hogwarts at the time, he should have been in the fifth year, but," Hagrid paused. " He transferred to Nurmengard at the end of the fourth-year term."

transfer? Sean stayed where he was.

"There was quite a lot of trouble in the school, because he was loved by the students back then, and Mr. Dippet even publicly expressed his regret..."

Hagrid was still talking to himself, but Sean couldn't notice what he said after that.

Tom Riddle transferred to Nurmengard at the end of his senior year? !

Then, who opened the secret room back then? !

A chill rushed from the soles of Sean's feet to the Tianling Gai. He originally thought that the secret room might be someone else's handwriting, but he didn't expect that the secret room was not opened by Riddle!

Sean seems to have seen a pair of invisible black hands that have appeared fifty years ago!

No, fifty years ago, if the Chamber of Secrets wasn't opened by Riddle, then why would someone else close the Chamber of Secrets and have no trouble in those fifty years?

In the original plot, Tom's reason for closing the secret room is very simple, that is, Hogwarts is going to close. The only obsession of this crazy dark wizard was Hogwarts.

No matter how terrifying he may be in the future, Riddle's feelings for Hogwarts were real and strong, at least for the year, and it ended Riddle's relatively mediocre and lonely life in an orphanage - which was also his The main reason for not wanting to close Hogwarts.

But would another person feel the same way?

So now, fifty years later, why did that person open the secret room again?

who's that person? Any other descendants of Salazar Slytherin?

A lot of questions rushed into Sean's mind50 years ago, what happened 50 years ago... Sean shuddered, and he quickly looked at Hagrid: "Hagrid, Do you know when Nurmengard was founded?"

"Nurmengard was just established when Riddle changed schools," Hagrid shrugged. "In fact, Riddle was Nurmengard's first students, or rather, he was the only senior at the time. s student."

Fifty years ago, Nurmengard established the school... Sean thought of Dumbledore's memory, the prophecy that spanned thousands of years. Before that, Grindelwald already had the idea of ​​building a school!

Is the Chamber of Secrets related to the establishment of the Nurmengard school? Or is it something to do with prophecy?

Sean also remembers that in that memory, the kidnapped prophet Cassandra Valkist was in a very dysfunctional state, Grindelwald said, and she was entangled in some kind of mystery.

Sean has an intuition, that kind of "mystery" has something to do with prophecy and the opening of the secret room!
