Chapter 450: Chapter 450: The Chamber of Secrets Incident Ends

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Pfft, that Tom guy is something else! He’s planning to devour Anzen’s soul? That guy really hasn’t died enough.

Doujin Artist: He’s already died twice, this is the third time. So it’s not like he hasn’t died, right?

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: You can’t count it like that, that was Voldemort who died... What does that have to do with me, Tom Riddle?

Machete Girl: Hahahaha, Ruiko, are you trying to kill me with laughter?

Lazy Kitten: That meme, you guys have it over there too, huh? You guys caught Lu Xun, what does that have to do with me!

Amegakure Village’s Angel: He deserved to die, and this kind of death is too good for him. And before he died, he saw something forbidden that Anzen saw! I haven’t even seen it!

Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ?

Curly-haired Guy: ?

Soul Society’s Villain: I know what you’re talking about, but I still can’t help but misunderstand.

Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Something forbidden... you haven’t even seen it... Oh my god, it’s hard not to think dirty thoughts.

Lin Fengjiao: But if that’s the case, Dumbledore will definitely be even more suspicious of the Group Leader, right? He defeated Voldemort’s soul and destroyed its Horcruxes purely with mental power, without using any spells.

This is an Actor: It doesn’t matter. Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, he’ll be more suspicious of me no matter what I do. That’s what we want to see, isn’t it?

As the message was sent, Jellall looked at Hermione in front of him as she slowly woke up.

The little witch was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that Jellall was alive and well in front of her, she immediately opened her arms and hugged him tightly.

Uh.

The words Jellall was about to say got stuck in his throat. Come to think of it, this was his first time having such an intimate physical encounter with a woman. He never even held hands when he was with Konan.

"Cough."

Just as a certain atmosphere began to brew in the room, an untimely cough immediately made Hermione react. She pulled away from Jellall like a startled little rabbit and looked towards the source of the sound.

Good heavens.

At the doorway, besides Dumbledore leading the way, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Harry and Ron were all present.

Visibly, the little witch’s face turned red all the way to her ears. It’s over, this is truly embarrassing now.

Jellall, however, remained expressionless and smiled, "It seems you’re really all right now."

"Ah, and that’s all thanks to Zickrein’s amazing potions," Dumbledore said, not mentioning what he saw earlier. He sat down on a nearby chair with a chuckle. "Madam Pomfrey also asked me to tell you that she hopes you’ll visit her more often to chat."

"I’ll go when I have time," Jellall nodded, agreeing.

"So, shouldn’t everyone tell their stories now?" Dumbledore turned his gaze to Hermione, Harry, and Ron, and smiled kindly, "I imagine they must be quite exciting."

The three young wizards exchanged glances, and finally, Harry swallowed and began his account.

From discovering he was a Parselmouth to secretly investigating. Of course, he deliberately omitted the part where they suspected Malfoy. It was against the rules and very embarrassing.

Then, Harry accidentally heard the Basilisk’s voice. It was going to start killing people, and on a large scale.

His sense of justice compelled Harry to stop it, so he followed the sound all the way to the Chamber of Secrets. At the same time, he told his friends to go inform the professors.

Harry, tracking the Basilisk, acted alone and entered the Chamber of Secrets. To his surprise, he saw Ginny holding a black notebook inside. A shocked Harry was about to step forward to speak to her when a spell suddenly flew towards his face.

"Reckless, arrogant, foolish!" Snape immediately commented after hearing his description.

Although his tone was harsh, Jellall could see a flash of afterthought in his eyes. Clearly, this old bat wasn’t as indifferent to Harry as he appeared.

"Severus taught you a valuable lesson, Mr. Potter," Professor McGonagall, uncharacteristically, did not shield him and said softly, "You shouldn’t have been so reckless and done such a dangerous thing."

"I’m sorry, Professor," Harry lowered his head and apologized sincerely.

"But thanks to you all, this matter has been completely resolved," Dumbledore said, not criticizing like the other two professors, but praising them instead.

"Hermione analyzed the exact location of the Chamber of Secrets," Harry said truthfully, not taking all the credit.

Hermione hadn’t fully recovered yet and was still in a state of embarrassed shyness.

"You’ve all done wonderfully, you’ve all done wonderfully," Dumbledore nodded with a smile and pulled out a notebook from his sleeve. "Was this the notebook Miss Weasley was holding?"

Harry froze for a moment and nodded, "Yes, Professor."

"Professor, my sister could never be the heir!" Ron argued anxiously, "She’s just a little girl who doesn’t know anything!"

"Don’t be nervous, Mr. Weasley," Dumbledore smiled. "We already know who the true heir is."

"Tom Riddle," Hermione finally reacted and said the name.

"That’s right, it was him," Dumbledore nodded and said softly, "He was already the heir fifty years ago. But we didn’t realize it, none of us did. Until now, a series of events have been triggered. This is my fault..."

"This has nothing to do with you, Professor Dumbledore!" Harry’s emotions became a little agitated. "This is the Dark Lord’s plot! It’s all his fault!"

"And Malfoy!" Ron added at this point, "Malfoy must have given that notebook to Ginny. They had a conflict with our family that day."

"But that can’t be used as evidence, student Weasley," Jellall interjected at the right time, reminding them, "They can completely deny it, and the Ministry of Magic won’t accept it."

"Damn it!" Ron ran his hands through his hair, looking frantic.

"Yes, as Zickrein said, this cannot be used as evidence," Dumbledore shook his head. "So, let’s let this matter rest. Thank you for your contributions to Hogwarts."
