The professors went to work. After all, the secret room was cleared, and the monster that almost caused the school to close was killed. The principal had to be welcomed back, and the students and parents who had left the school had to be notified... there were still many things to do.
The friends were also sent to the dormitory to rest. Although they also wanted to stay here with Ron and Ted, Professor McGonagall obviously didn't think so.
What's even more terrifying is that the school nurse, Madam Pomfrey, pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips, holding a large jar of potion in her hand. If anyone made a noise here, she would use a Muggle syringe to inject all the potion into him!
Neville, Jerry and the others immediately gave up and ran away without looking back.
Hermione told Ted to be careful and rest, and then went back to Ravenclaw Tower.
Today had been too long and they had experienced too much.
First, he went to Hagrid to ask about what happened fifty years ago, but he was blocked in the room by the Minister of Magic Fudge, Lucius and Dumbledore. He saw with his own eyes how the principal was driven away and Hagrid was wrongly accused.
He even walked to the Forbidden Forest and almost fed spiders based on Hagrid's unreliable guidance. Just being chased and fought by hundreds of eight-eyed spiders is enough.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the castle, he learned that Malfoy had been taken away by the heir to the Chamber of Secrets, and then took Lockhart hostage to the Chamber of Secrets to rescue others, a truly fierce battle.
It feels terrible now that it's over. My nose seems to be able to smell the unique fishy smell of the basilisk, as well as the insidious and terrifying Tom Tom, the young Voldemort...
So tired, really so tired.
Ted was leaning against the bedside of a hospital bed, feeling so tired that he wanted to sleep directly.
But it's not possible now. The matter is not over yet. I'm afraid that the professor and the principal will have to deal with the matter overnight, and I still have one thing that I haven't solved yet, so I have to hold on.
Take out a bottle of vitality tonic, drink it, and mentally tally up your gains.
Although Phoenix Fox was good, he couldn't hold it down and had already flown back.
The Sorting Hat was also taken away by Professor McGonagall, but the Sword of Gryffindor was still in his hand, but it only lasted one night.
This thing is one of the most precious legacies of Hogwarts, and I definitely cannot keep it as my own.
Of course, Ted wasn't very interested either.
Although this thing is good and a growth artifact, the traces of Gryffindor are too deep.
To use it, you need to be a student or teacher at the school, and show courage and bravery to be recognized.
Moreover, Ted always thought that he was a spell caster, and it was better to let Neville do things like wielding swords and swords.
It is worth mentioning that this sword was made by the ancient goblins, and the goblins always believed that the ownership of the item belonged to the creator, so they stole the sword in the first place and were punished by Gryffindor.
But to this day, many of them still claim ownership of the Sword of Gryffindor. Still hit it lightly.
Ted was all too familiar with this argument. What ball numbers, prestige signals, game accounts... There is a company called Antarctic Goose that seems to be run by goblins.
Speaking of which, the Basilisk is also Slytherin's legacy to the school.
If a foreign enemy invades the school one day, and in an extremely critical moment, the descendants of Slytherin will be able to open the secret room and release the basilisk to attack the enemy. Maybe this is Slytherin's original intention. Unfortunately, the basilisk met the descendant of Voldemort.
In addition to the above items, Ted also had the abandoned diary with a big hole in it.
Originally, this thing was just an ordinary Muggle diary, not a magic item.
But after Tom used it to write a diary for five years and then made it into his own Horcrux, it was no longer a simple diary.
Even though it has been destroyed by the Sword of Gryffindor, it is still filled with extremely rich dark magic.
Ted put this thing in his bag for now, but it must be given to Dumbledore. This is stolen property and cannot be kept privately.
Speaking of which, the diary is already the safest Horcrux. Although it has its own consciousness and thoughts, it does not have those evil and terrifying defensive magic attached to it.
Who made it earlier? Fifth grade! Voldemort is indeed a genius of black magic!
And other Horcruxes are extremely dangerous. Later, Dumbledore was tricked and had to die as a trap.
Therefore, although Ted knew that there was a Crown Horcrux in the warehouse of the Room of Requirement, Ted didn't even give it a thought.
After Voldemort graduated, he worked in Knockturn Alley's Bock's shop for several years. He took the opportunity to get in touch with a wealthy wizard, killed him and obtained the Slytherin Locket that had been passed down by his Gaunt family and the Hufflepuff left behind. Gold cup.
After making it into a Horcrux, he traveled around the world for ten years, during which he came into contact with countless dark wizards. For the sake of strength, he also conducted very dangerous dark experiments on himself, transforming from a handsome little Tom into the later Voldemort.
At that time, he returned to Hogwarts and wanted to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. But Dumbledore, the principal at the time, refused directly.
It was at that time that he left the Crown Horcrux in the Room of Requirement.
This move is indeed brilliant. Who would have thought that a Horcrux would be hidden in such a place?
If it hadn't been for an out-of-control fire later, I might not have been able to find it.
Therefore, Ted had no idea what kind of protection this thing had. It was much more dangerous than any resurrection stone ring, gold cup, or locket.
While Ted was still thinking, Ron in the bed next to him suddenly groaned and woke up.
"Ron, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Ted hurried over and asked.
"I-I...Ted, my butt hurts."
In the secret room, he was knocked away by a basilisk. The humerus of his left leg was fractured, and the femoral head was almost shattered. Half of his buttocks were bruised.
The pain is normal now.
Ted comforted: "Don't be nervous, it's okay, it doesn't hurt. Your butt was blown away and fell into the mouth of the Slytherin statue. But it doesn't matter, Ms. Pomfrey will help you grow a new one."
Ron's eyes almost popped out of his head for a moment: Slytherin ate my ass? !
Ga~ fainted.
Ted nodded with satisfaction, that's good, now Ron needs to rest. At least I don't have to give him a coma spell myself.
At this time, in the principal's office, Dumbledore had returned.
At the same time, there were also the nervous and worried Weasleys in the office, and Lucius who was almost going berserk.
Lucius was shaking all over, and his long pale golden hair was scattered: "If, if something happens to my son, I swear, I swear..." He stared at Dumbledore.
He regretted it very much now. He should have taken Draco home instead of listening to him and checking it out at school, lest he be considered a coward and underestimated the Malfoy family.
Nothing is as important as his son, he shouldn't take risks, he shouldn't.
Dumbledore is over a hundred years old. He has experienced too many things in the past hundred years, but his expression is still so plain: "Lucius, don't be nervous, don't be excited..."
I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry~
However, the centenarian still has a good heart and does not want to torture a father on such a matter. Although not long ago, he was kicked out of school.
"Draco Malfoy is safe. And Ronald Weasley is safe too. Please don't worry." He looked at the Weasleys.
The three parents breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, feeling as if their hearts had stopped for a while.
Although it was already midnight, the three parents still came to the school hospital.
Dobby, the Malfoy elf, hunched his neck and hid outside the door, with only his head exposed.
Ted had guessed they might come and had been waiting.
After saying hello to the excited Weasley couple, Ted stood aside and watched the two of them greet Ron.
Ron was still a little confused, but he was actually very happy - he didn't know how long it had been since his parents cared about him so much.
While Ron could stay awake for a while, Malfoy had been in a coma.
Lucius gently touched his son's pale face beside the bed, his fingers trembling.
He called little Malfoy's name softly, but after all, Malfoy had been sucked by Senior Tom for too long and could not recover in a short while.
Seeing that his son still didn't wake up, he finally collapsed.
"Go! Go! Go to St. Mungo's, go to St. Mungo's!" As he said that, he was about to leave with little Malfoy in his arms.
Madam Pomfrey immediately stood up to stop: "Mr. Malfoy, put the patient down. What he needs now is to rest, not toss around somewhere. He has lost too much vitality. I have given him a potion, which can last for up to three days." He will wake up by the end of the day.”
But how could Lucius listen? Determined to leave.
Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore looked at each other and could only helplessly spread their hands.
But Ted stood up: "Mr. Malfoy, I am Ted, Ted Epiphany. I am Draco's classmate. We rescued him from the secret room. Ron can be said to be... Save Draco's injury..."
His words shocked both the Weasleys and Lucius. The Weasleys looked at each other in disbelief, and then looked at their son who was still very weak.
Lucius didn't expect it, so he could only thank him repeatedly: "Thank you, classmate Epiphany, please allow me to repay the kindness later. I have to take Draco to the hospital now."
Ted waved his hand: "I have something to tell you. Don't worry, I won't take you two minutes. What do you think?" He took out the pierced diary and shook it.
