On a quiet night, the flame spell exploded in a narrow space, and the sound of high temperature overflowing is very abrupt!

The floor under Sherlock and Dumbledore's feet was shaking slightly, but the movement soon stopped, but then another sound began to sound again.

It was a violent running sound, and at the level under their feet, when the sound was transmitted to Sherlock and the others, it had become very subtle, but they could still clearly hear the strangeness of the sound.

This is not a bipedal creature!

Soon, another clear sound of running came down from the stairs. The young Dumbledore, who had just walked upstairs, looked solemn again, and hurriedly ran down from the stairs.

Sherlock and Dumbledore followed him, and they soon arrived at the corridor where the underground classroom was located.

Just as they walked out of the stairs, a huge, furry figure suddenly passed by them!

In this short moment, Sherlock saw the full picture of the escaped creature.

It was an extremely huge spider!

The young Dumbledore obviously also discovered what the escaped creature was, and he moved very quickly.

Sherlock didn't see clearly where he pulled out his wand. The next second, he suddenly shook his right arm!

The red streaming light exploded in the air! It spread like a crimson lightning in the narrow space of the stairway in a spider-web-like manner!

"hiss!!!"

A low scream sounded, and green blood spilled on the ladder, but the escaped figure still had a speed and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

After losing his target, the young Dumbledore frowned and did not chase the escaped spider, but continued to run quickly towards the Potion Classroom where the movement came from.

The classroom was already in a mess by the sudden burst of powerful flame spell. The male chief Tom, who had greeted young Dumbledore before, was now being pressed under a strong boy.

"Hagge! Professor Dumbledore, it was Hage who released the monster in the secret room! I almost grabbed them with my own hands just now, but Hage stopped me and let the monster run away!"

Although Tom was subdued by Hagrid, his face was still extremely calm and he calmly told all the things he had just passed.

But the young Hagrid was extremely panicked. His face turned red and he tried hard to explain what seemed pale.

"No! Professor Dumbledore, not it! Not Aragork! It hasn't even been out of the cabinet since it was born! It can't kill people! It's really not it!"

The young Dumbledore's eyes were still calm, but he could tell that he could not tell who was right now.

"Haeger, let Tom go first."

As they were talking, a riot footsteps sounded, and several older witches rushed to the scene. These people were obviously all professors who worked in Hogwarts at the time.

Sherlock recognized two people from them, one was Professor Slughorn when he was young, and the other was Armando Dippet, the former principal of Hogwarts whom he met in the portraits of his successor in the principal's office.

The old principal looks very old, and he looks a little older than Dumbledore fifty years later.

"What happened? Albus."

Dumbledore shook his head.

"I just came here, so let them both of you tell me."

There is nothing to say about Hagrid and Tom's respective arguments.

As a predecessor, Tom's image in the minds of the professors is almost perfect, and few people except Dumbledore think he will lie.

Hagrid's situation is much worse. Because of his bloodline, his talent in magic is very ordinary, and he can even be said to be stupid. He can only be very talented in the course of Fantastic Animals.

In addition, the monster who had just been injured by Dumbledore with a spell and then ran away in front of him, the situation could be said to be one-sided.

Dumbledore gently waved the wand in his hand, and the picture finally freezes Tom's calm and cold expression, as well as Hagrid's almost desperate eyes.

Everything around him turned into silver shavings, spinning and flying around Sherlock and Dumbledore.

"His superb acting skills are innate." Dumbledore's calm voice sounded, "Even when I first met him, I knew what he really looked like, but when I saw his performance in school, I thought he had really turned aside. When I was a child, I just didn't teach him and was ignorant."

"You mean the student named Tom?" Sherlock asked.

The student showed maturity and stability that was inconsistent with his age from beginning to end. Judging from this scene, he should be a very capable wizard.

Dumbledore did not answer his question, as the silver shavings surrounding them gathered again, forming a new scene.

This time it was in the principal's office in Hogwarts.

However, there are no Phoenix Foxes here, nor are there those buzzing silver tricks. The portraits of the previous principals are still dozing off by the wall, but there is a deck of Principal Armando Dippet who stepped down in 1956.

Because this old man was still sitting in the seat of the principal's room.

"I don't think it's too early to convict Haig. This matter needs to be investigated more specifically. At least we have to catch the monster that attacked the student!"

In the principal's office, the young Dumbledore was trying hard to persuade Principal Dippet to change his mind.

But for his persuasion, Dippet just shook his head and responded.

"We don't have time to drag on Albus. The Ministry of Magic needs a result, the school board needs a result, and the parents of the dead girl need a result. We must show them this result so that Hogwarts will not be closed down because of this."

"Even if this result is wrong?"

"It's not wrong." Dippet's voice sounded like a sense of powerless aging.

"Hagge himself admitted that he did have a monster friend. We asked him to hand over his friend, but he never agreed. He didn't trust us. He thought we would kill his monster friend. But if no one proved his innocence, how could this result be wrong?"

The young Dumbledore was no longer speaking, and he turned around and left the principal's office silently.

Dumbledore said softly as he watched his young self leave, his strong and upright back, which seemed a little weak.

"I knew at the time that even if Hagrid really brought his monster friend out and proved that he was not that person, he would not change the situation."
