A quiet afternoon at Prince Manor turns into real answers. Snape treats Harry’s bruises, asks for the truth, and hears the full story of the diary in the Chamber of Secrets: Tom Riddle’s memory, the basilisk, Fawkes’s tears, and why a goblin made sword could pierce basilisk hide. Dobby is called to locate the diary, and hard questions follow about Lockhart, Hagrid, and Dumbledore’s choices. The talk ends with prophecies, Pettigrew, and a sharp look at how close Harry came to losing everything. This is close, character driven guardianship that rewards headphone listening.
