If someone was standing outside the auditorium at this moment, he might think that an explosion had occurred here, and the cheers on the students' dining tables were rising and falling. Several Gryffindor students stood up and cheered loudly, which made the veins on the foreheads of Hera and Professor Snape jump unconsciously.

Damn, Hera is clearly from Slytherin Academy.

Compared to Gryffindor Academy, Slytherin is obviously much more subtle. Draco is just struggling to hit the table with his high-legged wine glass. I think he should be "celebrating".

"That means," Dumbledore had to yell loudly to overwhelm the thunderous cheers, as the students were cheering fiercely, "we no longer have to worry about Hogwarts being shut down."

“I will present a prize to Hera on behalf of Hogwarts, and if he was still a student of Hogwarts, I wouldn’t even find the right award for his outstanding contributions, and fortunately, he is our assistant to the Dark Magic Defense.

So here, I plan to specially create an Excellent Alumni Award for him, and Hogwarts's goal will always be opened to him." Dumbledore took the lead in applauding, and the cheers of the students finally fell, as if the cheer just now had consumed all their energy.

"Ahem, thank you Principal Dumbledore, thank you everyone." Hera stood up and coughed softly. In fact, there was nothing wrong with his body, but he felt that he might be worthy of such warm applause from the students when he pretended to be recovering from a serious illness.

"I believe many people already know about it, but I think it is necessary to explain it to everyone." Hera looked at Professor Dumbledore tentatively. He just nodded and thought for a moment before guessing what Hera was going to say next. He nodded to Hera and signaled him to continue.

"I'm glad to spend two school years with you in Hogwarts, but I'm sorry to tell you something. I'm going to prepare to continue my trip. Life in Hogwarts will definitely be the happiest two years of my life. It's just that I love a free life. I need more training to be competent for the position of Hogwarts' teacher for the black magic defense. Students, I hope that next time we see you, I can go back to Hogwarts and sit in that office."

"Oh, no!"

Many students wailed. They thought it was just a joke that Hera had played with them at the end of the semester. They thought he was referring to the position of "acting principal", but they did not expect to leave Hogwarts.

They could not imagine that Dumbledore would find them with unreliable teachers in the next school year.

Penelo looked at Hera with red eyes. She was a little terrible quiet, making Hera not afraid to look directly into her eyes, so she had to turn her head and look at the dining table on the other side.

"It's so heartbreaking." Harry said, taking a piece of jam dough for himself, "It's really hard to meet such a great professor, Hera."

"Who said no?" Hermione scooped up a spoonful of mutton soup and frowned. "I dare say that Professor Dumbledore will definitely worry about it all summer vacation!"

In fact, Dumbledore was indeed worried, but for about a few minutes, and then he tied a letter to the owl's leg, and he believed that the man would not refuse his invitation.

After dinner, Dumbledore quietly gave Hera a look. Hera understood it. Without Dumbledore's words, he consciously followed Dumbledore to the principal's office on the eighth floor.

As soon as Hera walked into the principal's room, he saw the silver sword on the table, which was shining with rubies, but it was stained with black ink. Obviously Dumbledore had not wiped it clean, and the wreckage of the branch hat and Riddle's diary were placed aside, and the branch hat moved to the side in disgust.

Then Dumbledore sat in his chair, folded his hands together, "Hera, I want to hear the story about your school year. I think you have many things you want to tell me."

"Maybe it." Hera swallowed, and he began to tell Dumbledore the whole story, including the fact that he was a snake-like man. He felt that perhaps only Dumbledore could help him at the moment.

As long as he does not express his strong desire for black magic, Dumbledore should not kill himself in the cradle.

He talked about for about a quarter of an hour, Dumbledore was very attentive, and the room was silent. He talked about him always hearing the sound of a bodyless and wandering soul, and he finally found that what he heard was the sound of a snake monster lurking in the water pipe; he also talked about him having followed the spider into the Forbidden Forest, but Aragork was so uncooperative that he had to clean up the "hidden dangers" in the Forbidden Forest...

"Very good," Dumbledore nodded, his eyes flashing with blue light, "So, you discovered the monster in the secret room, and through Myrtle, where the entrance to the secret room was-I have to add that you did a good job, far beyond my imagination."

Hera continued to talk about how he summoned the professors, cleverly concealed Hermione's existence, and silently attributed all the credit to himself. Apart from that, he had nothing to hide.

"What I'm most interested in," Dumbledore said gently, "how did Voldemort deceive them, because according to my sources, he is currently hiding in the forests of Albania."

Hera pursed her lips and opened her mouth several times, but she didn't spit out the word.

"Maybe we need some courage sometimes. You know, nothing can shock me, the old man. You don't have to pay too much attention to my feelings." Dumbledore said gently with his lips pursed.

Hra sighed with a sigh of relief and slowly uttered the word in an uncertain tone: "Horcrux."

"What!" Dumbledore said in surprise. He was shocked, and the table was buzzing.

"It's this notebook." Hera said quickly, grabbing the diary and showing it to Dumbledore. "It was written by Tom... Voldemort when he was sixteen."

Dumbledore took the diary from Hera's hand, his eyes shot down from his long hooked nose, staring at the wet, burnt paper pages - but Hera clearly only pierced it with the Gryffindor sword.

"It's amazing," he said softly. Hera thought he was praising himself, but the following words instantly broke his thoughts.
