HP: What if a time traveler went to Hogwarts?

After Tom let the basilisk return to the secret room, Shimeier and Tom quickly left the women's bathroom on the second floor.

They hid in the corner of the corridor to observe the situation outside, and sure enough, a patrolling teacher soon discovered Myrtle's still warm body.

"You go back to the common room." Tom turned to Shimaier and said.

"What about you? Someone really died this time," Shimaier said worriedly. Even if they knew that Tom would pick it cleanly, no one would doubt Tom.

"I'm looking for a scapegoat."

Seeing Tom's expression, Shimaier realized that maybe Tom had expected this step and had already identified a good candidate.

"I'm worried about you."

Shimaier said this persistently.

"Let's go," Tom just said, hiding the expression in his eyes in the shadow of the moonlight and darkness. "Just leave it to me, or do you not trust me?"

Shimaier glanced at Tom and ran to the common room. She believed in Tom and Tom also had such strength.

Back in the common room where the lights were out, there was no one there, but today was destined to be an unusual night.

Shimaier anxiously wandered in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, feeling not only uncertainty about the future but also guilt for Myrtle.

She looked at her ring and silently made a plan in her mind.

"Why are you still here? Are you reviewing?" Alphard walked out rubbing his eyes.

"Reviewing what? What are you doing here?" Shimaier asked, fearing that Alphard would continue to ask why he was here.

"Owls exam, I forgot to take the book." Alphard found the forgotten diary on the long table.

"Owls exam? When?" The ordinary wizard level exam is an exam that every student must go through. It is related to the subsequent newts exam, but Shimaier completely forgot about it.

"It's the end of this month." Alphard looked at Shimeier in surprise, as if he was frightened out of his sleep. "Don't tell me you forgot, otherwise you think Caroline and I are doing this by dragging you to the library all day long. Well?"

There was an awkward silence for a second, and Shimaier immediately sat on the nearest chair. "Give me a book quickly. I think I can make up for it!"

Alphard also completely woke up from his drowsiness. "No, you really didn't review?" "I really didn't review." Shimaier said with a sad face. Her energy in the past few months has been completely distracted by the secret room.

"Merlin's Beard" Alphard exclaimed, "You are so awesome, you don't have to sleep anymore."

Shimaier was about to cry without tears, memorizing all kinds of strange potion formulas, memorizing the effects of various plants, and the attributes of each magical animal.

Alphard was still reviewing with him, but he fell asleep before midnight. Shimaier was also very sleepy. She had gone through a very important time point tonight and was already exhausted, but she didn't finish the review. People are not qualified to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the stone door opened. Shimaier thought that Tom had finished handling the matter and returned to the common room, but it was the Rozier brothers and sisters who came in.

"Why did you just go back to the common room now?" Shimaier asked casually as a prefect, although he was already busy with the unfinished homework.

The brother and sister didn't speak, and Shimaier saw Aibili supporting Ailas.

Ailas seemed weak, but Abby had a cold look on her face. Shimaier put down the book in his hand and quickly went up to help Ailas. "What's wrong with you?"

"It's none of your business." Abby pushed Shimail away. Although Abby's attitude towards Shimail had never been clear, this was the first time she spoke to Shimail with such hostility.

Ailas wanted to say something but he was obviously exhausted and allowed Abby to help him back to his room.

Shimaier was in a state of confusion and sat restlessly on his chair, unable to read a single word in the book until Tom came in from the entrance after a while.

"How's it going?" As soon as Tom came in, Shimeier rushed up and asked him, "Have I ever suspected you?"

Tom shook his head, and Shimaier breathed a sigh of relief as if a stone had fallen to the ground. "It's just that I can't open the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts anymore, Dumbledore already doubts me."

"It's just Myrtle." Shimaier thought of Myrtle's eyes before she died, and her heart was still blocked.

"Just an insignificant mudblood." Tom lowered his head and looked at Shimaier. "Are you afraid of me like this? Shimaier."

"No" Shimaier shook his head subconsciously, "How could I be afraid of you."

"I think so." Tom's hand covered Shimaier's neck, slowly stroking Shimaier's long black hair like a snake, "You have been on the same side with me since the orphanage, tell me My reason, Shimael."

The boy in front of him has grown into the murderous young Voldemort.

Shimaier's eyes darkened, "This is my secret."

Shimaier didn't dare to look at Tom, she thought she didn't have the courage.

"Because" Shimaier spoke again after a long time, "I like Tom the most now."

The tone was very coquettish and the speech was very fast, but Tom seemed to like the answer very much.

"Are you waiting for me? Go and have a rest," Tom said. "Uh, I have to review for the OWS exam," Shimaier said sheepishly.

"It seems I have to give you late-night tutoring."

In the charming atmosphere, Shimaier didn't realize at all what kind of bloody storm was happening outside.

In the hall early the next morning, after the secret room was opened, the news that a Muggle girl was murdered spread throughout the long tables of each college. Soon everyone discovered that the dead girl was Myrtle, because she became The ghost Myrtle is constantly haunting Olive Humbey, repeating the cynicism that Olive Humbey had made towards her when she was alive, so much so that Olive Humbey has to ask Peeves to drive Myrtle away. The Ghost walked around Myrtle and sang, "Poor Myrtle! No one loves her even if she becomes a ghost!" Myrtle cried loudly and floated back to the bathroom on the second floor to cry.

Shimael discovered that in addition to the Ravenclaw table missing Myrtle, the Gryffindor table also lacked Hagrid. After all, with Hagrid's physique, it was too obvious to be missing.

It was even stranger at the teachers' table. The position of principal that originally belonged to Armando was now vacant, and Dumbledore looked very unhappy next to him.

The History of Magic class was the only class where Shimael could relax. She gently pushed Caroline's elbow and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where Hagrid went?"

Caroline's hand paused while she was writing notes, and she started gossiping seriously, "I don't know, I haven't seen him since early in the morning. He has been very mysterious recently and seems to have a pet."

Shimaier felt uneasy because Hagrid was a very kind person, but he loved different things.

She looked sideways at Tom sitting next to her, remembering that he said yesterday that he was going to find a scapegoat, and she had a bad suspicion in her mind.

By lunch time, rumors were circulating among the students that Principal Armando had resigned due to Myrtle's death on campus, and that Hagrid had been expelled for violating school rules. Everyone was discussing excitedly, and no one was concerned about Myrtle's departure. I went to feel the silence, but kept speculating about the connection between Principal Armando's resignation and Hagrid's expulsion.

Shimaier ate the steak on his plate without tasting it, and listened to Avery laughing loudly, "That stupid big guy is finally gone, a descendant of a giant? Stop being funny! Who doesn't know that giants are just a bunch of fools!" The people also burst out laughing.

Shimael felt someone was staring at her, and when she realized it was Dumbledore, she quickly showed interest in the minced meat on her plate. She was a little afraid to meet Dumbledore's gaze.

It wasn't until dinner that another man appeared at the headmaster's seat at the staff table. Shimeier found that Tom was also observing him - that man was talking to Dumbledore.

After an afternoon of fermentation, those rumors have entered a feverish stage, as if they have forgotten the fear some time ago, and everyone is expecting someone to tell them a correct answer.

The students' expectations were not disappointed. After everyone basically filled the hall, Dumbledore knocked on the glass on his left hand.

Everyone fell silent for a moment, waiting for Dumbledore to speak.

"I believe everyone already knows that Myrtle Elizabeth Warren among us has left us forever." Dumbledore paused for a long time to express his silence.

This was the first time Shimael knew Myrtle's full name.

After a while, Dumbledore continued, "Our personnel have also changed. Principal Armando felt very guilty about the death of Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, so he resigned."

"Really or not, I think he was probably kicked out by the Ministry of Magic," Lestrange said playfully, "I'm going to go back and ask my dad." Avery covered his mouth and laughed.

After the rustling sounds in the hall fell silent, Dumbledore continued, "Now let's call our new headmaster Armando Dippet to speak."

Everyone applauded one after another, and there was a question from the Gryffindor table, "Where's Hagrid!", followed by a few echoes of "Yes! Give Hagrid back to us!"

Dumbledore paused, then returned to his seat and nodded to Professor Dippet.

Principal Dippet stood up and cleared his throat. He was a man who looked very majestic.

"Hagrid has been expelled for seriously violating school rules and causing the death of a classmate," he said.

"Lie!" Someone immediately said, "He just likes small animals! There is no way or reason for him to do what he did!"

No one said anything anymore, the fact that Hagrid kept strange little animals was no longer in question.

"Classmate Riddle has uncovered the truth of the matter. There is no need to panic about the secret room. Everything is just a misunderstanding. At this point, we have decided to reward fellow student Riddle with the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award." Principal Dippet took the lead and started. Applause.

After waking up, Ogg clumsily carried a sparkling trophy to the podium. The Slytherin students applauded enthusiastically, and then other houses also applauded. Everyone thought that Tom Riddle was an out-and-out genius. Good student, the Gryffindor people who just spoke for Hagrid looked at Principal Dippet with dissatisfaction, but they still applauded.

Tom stood up calmly and accepted everyone's applause and trophy with peace of mind. In the auditorium of hundreds of people, his eyes only met Shimaier's.

The Chamber of Secrets, Myrtle's death, Hagrid's expulsion, these are the secrets he and Shimael have experienced together.

Only Shimael knows the truth.

Maybe there is Dumbledore, Shimaier thought and looked in Dumbledore's direction, and found that Dumbledore was also observing him.

She lowered her eyes guiltily and whispered, "I'm sorry."

This is a belated apology.
