Dumbledore was not in a hurry to conduct an interview and educate Harry. If he wanted to, he would be very concerned about Harry's mental and physical health, but with Luke taking care of him, there should be no problems. In comparison, he still wanted to ask Luke what happened in the secret room tonight. besides……
What did Luke get?
And now, he already had an immature guess as to where Luke was.
When he was about to go back to his office. Suddenly I saw a person walking towards this side.
"Oh! Professor Dumbledore!"
Lockhart saw the tall old man from a distance. He showed a bright smile and raised his hand to greet him: "Professor, Professor! I heard something happened here. Do you need my help?"
As a writer, Lockhart was very interested in novel stories. Even if this story cannot be directly stolen by me, it is still a good choice to transplant part of the plot through certain techniques.
Dumbledore looked a little strange when he saw Lockhart appear. Behind him, Harry, who was walking towards the infirmary, accelerated his pace decisively. During his time at school, the best habit he developed was probably to stay away from that damn Lockhart, which would save him countless troubles in his life.
But the problem is that Harry can avoid Lockhart's entanglement, but Dumbledore cannot. He guessed that this was probably another part of Luke's plan. Lockhart, a person who deceives the world and steals fame, is destined to become a stepping stone for Luke or his men to become famous.
Now Lockhart has obviously been lured out of his cave and the tiger away from the mountain. So what is the most appropriate way for you to respond now?
"Hold him, Professor. I didn't expect Voldemort to solve it so easily. If we let him go now, Taylor and Hermione will be very passive."

Luke's tone remained relaxed. Although I asked him to come, he obviously didn't take it seriously. This made Dumbledore feel guilty.
"If I'm not going to hold him back, aren't you going to let him go back?"
Dumbledore asked, half jokingly and half seriously.
"How is that possible! Am I like that violent, murderous person~"
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief at Luke's joking tone. As long as he didn't respond seriously, it meant that at least he didn't think of taking Lockhart's life.
"I will hold him back, but I certainly can't hold him back for too long."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't take too long, just do your best. If necessary, you can ask him to go to the infirmary~ Haha."
Harry:? ? ?
If he were here, he would definitely reprimand Luke for causing trouble.
"In order to check the completion of the plan there first, and when the plan is completely completed, Professor, I will ask you to meet an old friend. Maybe you will be very emotional."
Luke's amused tone made Dumbledore feel that things were not simple.
….
This thing must be holding back some damage somewhere.
"Go to your fucking job!"
Dumbledore said angrily, Luke laughed and disappeared.
Of course, the conversation between the two people was not heard by anyone else. Dumbledore also kept his posture upright and seemed to be just greeting Lockhart.
"Professor, what exactly happened here?"
Lockhart asked eagerly as he approached.
"Oh, what happened tonight? It's a long story," Dumbledore said with a sigh, "It started in the past thousand years..."
Lockhart's scalp went numb when he heard this time span. Even if this is a long story, it has to be said in the year of the monkey.
"Stop, stop
, Professor Dumbledore, I just want to know what happened in the castle tonight. "
He had a hunch that what happened here tonight would be something worth writing in his book.
"Oh, what you want to know is what happened tonight." Dumbledore looked thoughtful, "Then we have to start with the Chamber of Secrets..."
Lockhart looked expectant after hearing this. He had heard them mention the secret room before, but he didn't pay attention at the time. It seemed to be some very powerful place, and it was also related to Slytherin, one of the Big Four.
"The Chamber of Secrets, this is a place left by Slytherin when he left Hogwarts nearly a thousand years ago..."
Lockhart: ...
On the other side, Luke walked towards Lockhart's dormitory without any hurry. He had heard from the two girls before that Lockhart put all his things in a box. That box, or the evidence in the box, is what they want to get.
He was very confident in Hermione and Taylor's execution, so he wasn't really worried about Lockhart going back to stop them, but he still had to be careful, as it wouldn't be a good thing if the boat capsized in the gutter.
And when Luke actually walked through two corridors, crossed a courtyard, and arrived in front of Lockhart's dormitory, he realized that his worries were purely unnecessary.
Next to a tapestry, Professor McGonagall was waiting here, leaning on an empty suit of armor.
When he saw Professor McGonagall, Luke knew that he didn't need to worry about this matter anymore. However, out of caution, he still chose to wait here.
Waiting is destined to be a boring thing, especially when you are worried, even if the worry is not strong. Fortunately, Hermione and Taylor didn't keep Luke waiting for long.
After a while, the two people came out easily.
Hermione held a thick notebook in her arms. Apart from that, there's not much else.
As soon as the two people walked out of Lockhart's dormitory, they saw Professor McGonagall waiting not far away. The two girls who went out at night and sneaked into the professor's dormitory to steal were immediately frightened.
"Professor McGonagall!" Taylor began to think about how to explain herself reasonably. It's a pity that I don't have much clue.
"It's over. Points will be deducted!" Hermione's face looked a little desperate. Gryffindor and Gryffindor had a bad start in this year's Academy Cup. With her efforts, they gradually improved and were at least on an equal footing with the other two academies. Naturally, it cannot be compared with Slytherin. But it's obviously much better.
….
But now, the advantage that I have won will eventually be given away by myself. This may also be a kind of reincarnation...
Luke looked at the panic of the two people and laughed unscrupulously. But he had no intention of showing up, so he didn't say anything.
"Come here you two!"
Professor McGonagall has been guarding here for a long time. How could he possibly give Taylor a chance to escape and a reason to explain?
Taylor and Hermione looked at each other, knowing that they most likely had no choice now. So they could only walk over there with their heads downcast. The expressions of loss, guilt, and fear on their faces were all entangled together. The two girls looked very endearing with such expressions.
Professor McGonagall smiled and shook her head. These two girls were so close to Luke, so of course she would look out for them. In their daily behavior, the two of them don't look like people who would get frustrated because of such trivial things. It is obvious that the current loss and depression are the two of them trying to escape punishment, or at least to weaken the punishment.
But as a little girl, there is nothing wrong with making such a choice. Luke looked at the expressions of the two people, smiled knowingly, and then chose to leave. What happens next is nothing to worry about.
With Professor McGonagall here, even Lockhart, that weakling, would certainly not be able to cause any trouble. Now that Taylor and Hermione were safe, he could hand what he had to Dumbledore and get ready to have some fun.
exist
On the way to the headmaster's office, Luke met Dumbledore who was walking back. Dumbledore was in a slightly sluggish state and looked tired.
This is normal. After all, he is already a centenarian, so it is inevitable that his energy will be less than before. Even Dumbledore couldn't resist all the wear and tear of time.
Strong magic, a strong body, and a strong soul cannot change these objective things.
Luke looked at Dumbledore's tired back and stopped.
After some time passed after Dumbledore entered his office, he chose to knock on the door of Dumbledore's office.
"Please come in!"
Dumbledore's voice was full of energy, and even sounded a little different.
When Luke walked into the principal's office, he saw an energetic old man sitting on a chair and staring at him with stern eyes.
"I held Lockhart back for a while. It seemed like he didn't cause you much trouble."
Dumbledore brings Luke a cup of tea.
Luke sat down opposite Dumbledore, but pushed away the tea in front of him and the tea in front of the other party.
"It's late at night, I have to rest later, what are you doing drinking tea?"
After listening to his words, Dumbledore's expression did not change, and he just said: "I think that something that makes you so confident that you can watch me have fun will definitely not allow me to sleep well tonight. So why don't you drink it? Tea is all about insomnia."
As he spoke, Dumbledore put his cup of tea back in front of his eyes, but he didn't mean to speak for a while. Instead, he quietly waited for Luke's move.
Luke is not admonishing either. He took out the diary from his pocket. After placing it on the table, he waved the wand in his hand, and a milky white shell emerged from the notebook, and then gradually began to disintegrate.
….
Finally, the disintegration was over, and Dumbledore finally felt that there was something unusual about the diary that had seemed so ordinary at first.
The magic power on the diary is actually not very strong. Dumbledore felt it immediately. This is not strong. Even though it has a strong aura of black magic, it is definitely not strong in itself.
But he still frowned for a moment. Because he had a guess as to what this thing was.
"Horcrux?!"
Dumbledore was basically equal parts surprised and angry. He had already made a guess. Luke also had some foreshadowing in his ears, but when he actually saw it, he still felt dizzy.
Because the Horcrux not only represents an opportunity for resurrection, but also means the sacrifice of an innocent life.
Luke ignored Dumbledore's expression, but gently poked the diary with the wand in his hand and said, "Get up, don't you want to talk to Dumbledore again? What did you ask Harry about what happened back then? What a ghost, now the opportunity is given to you, just ask Dumbledore directly."
Although Dumbledore is old, he has not become stupid. He heard something wrong in Luke's mouth. What on earth is this kid talking about?
Ask Harry what happened back then. Could it be...
"Dumbledore..."
A young voice came from the diary that surprised Dumbledore. The owner of this voice should be a young man. And he will never forget this voice...
"Tom Riddle."
Dumbledore's eyes became quite complicated for a moment. Is Tom still a child now?
No, this should be more painful... At this age, has Tom already killed people to make Horcruxes?
"I should have kicked you out of Hogwarts earlier. I should have even... got rid of you."
Dumbledore rarely gritted his teeth when he said this.
"Ha! Do you have such courage!? Then when we first met, you should have killed me directly instead of trying to reform me!"
Tom in the diary is the same
Angry, his tone was full of sarcasm and ridicule.
Luke, on the other hand, crossed his arms and leaned back on the chair, looking at the argument in front of him expressionlessly.
"I admit that I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have thought that there was any possibility for you to reform." Dumbledore said in a serious tone, "But if I had to do it over again, I would still choose to educate you, but this time I I will choose a more appropriate method."
At the end of his speech, Dumbledore's tone became slightly lowered.
But Tom's attitude didn't soften at all.
"You are still like this. You are indecisive. You have great power but never know how to use it properly. As a professor of Transfiguration, you are excellent. But as a strong person who can change the world, you are not qualified!"
"Because I don't want to change the world at all."
Dumbledore's expression became more and more calm: "I never think that changing the world is a good thing. Especially the path you chose later. That was not the right path."
Tom wanted to say something else, but Dumbledore waved his wand gently, forming a silent barrier around the diary.
Luke looked at Dumbledore's movements and asked with a smile, "No more questions?"
"It's unnecessary. I still think too much. He is incorrigible. Even if my attitude softened back then, even if I taught him through words and deeds, it would still be too late."
Dumbledore looked at Luke and said gently: "You and he are two different people, Luke."
