Chapter Forty-Six: There Is Only One Truth

The dueling club continued for a while, and Hermione deliberately let out water in the battle with Pansy for a chance to get into a hand-to-hand fight with her, and managed to pull a few of Pansy's hairs so that all the ingredients for their polyjuice potion were complete.

The three of them then returned to the girls' bathroom.

However, Hermione was not as happy as she had imagined, she seemed a little scared to know the truth, but Harry and Ron were very excited, thinking that the mystery was finally about to be solved.

"But have you thought about it?" Hermione looked at the polyjuice potion that was about to be boiled, "what if he wasn't the one who opened the secret room?"

"He'll always have some clues, no matter what. Ron's excited expression froze when he heard this, but he still comforted himself.

"Okay. Hermione sighed helplessly. "So have you figured out how to get Pansy out of the way? I don't want to be back all of a sudden while I'm talking. ”

"Don't worry, we have a solution, don't we, Harry?" Ron patted his chest, looking confident.

"Yes. Harry nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Hermione was afraid that they were going to do something against the school rules.

"Well, it's just a minor accident, Harry and I just have to 'unintentionally' stain her robes, and then she'll go to Snape and file a complaint, which will be enough to deal with us for most of the day. ”

"And during the holidays, Snape shouldn't be able to deduct our points. Harry laughed at the thought of this.

"Well, then you guys are pitiful, and you're going to be lectured by Snape for Christmas. Hermione looked at them sympathetically.

"It's not as great as your sacrifice. Ron said with a grin. "When you think about it, it's kind of disgusting to be someone else. ”

------------------------------------------------------------------

After the duel club, Malfoy got what he needed - some snake pronunciations, which should have roughly meant to open, unravel, etc., which gave him a little more confidence in opening the secret room.

Then there was the extremely unusual duel event, which could no longer be explained by anomalies, and Malfoy did not believe that a straw bag who could only forget the curse could really defeat Snape on his own, so the answer was simply coming out.

The prisoner was Lockhart, and the diary was in his hand.

Malfoy recalls the scene when he was in the bookstore, and when Lockhart went to persuade him to fight and returned in vain, he passed through the father and son, and also passed the bookshelves, and when he thought about it, coupled with his "extraordinary" performance in the dueling club, he should be the most suspicious.

"And that's not all. Malfoy went on to recall some details about him. "The rooster roars and the letter is also his most disgusting!" he snorted, and he had to say that the young Riddle was in some ways more powerful than Voldemort, and when Voldemort had no nose, he had only believed in his own strength, which was a little extreme. And the young Riddle will also take advantage of other people's favorability of him to make things happen.

Replacing some rude howling letters with elaborate amulets that seemed to others to suit his character could not have raised a trace of suspicion, perfect cover.

Thinking of this, Malfoy patted his head with some self-reproach, he felt that his thinking was open enough, and even the protagonist did not let go of suspicion, how could he have thought that Xiao Heiben actually tempted a teacher.

"Lockhart, can you fight for some air?" he couldn't help but sneer, and then began to think a little mischievously, "If you come back alive this time, you can really write a book from your own memory—"The Years I Was Bewitched—Days with the Diary." ”

But even if he knew, it would not help at present, Malfoy's intuition told him that Lockhart might not have done a good job as Ginny's little girl, and Ginny really threw away the diary when he sensed something was wrong in the original book, and Malfoy suspected that Lockhart had never doubted this diary at all, and directly fell a golden thigh from the sky for him to hug.

"That looks like we have to be prepared for a long time. Thinking of this, Malfoy retracted his thoughts and began to make his own plan, he took out a piece of paper and began to write and draw on it.

The next day, a piece of news came from Gryffindor's break room that shocked everyone.

Someone was petrified again, this time not a Muggle-born wizard or an animal, this time a pure-blood wizard and a ghost were petrified.

Ron was petrified, and Nick, who was almost headless.

The panic spread almost instantly across all the houses, with Slytherin being the worst, most of them being pure-bloods, so they were even a little proud of Professor Binns after he told the rumor before. "Look, only our academy is the safest, and those mudbloods should die. "But now this delusion has been ruthlessly corrected.

The basilisk doesn't just want to kill the mudbloods!

As a result, the Weasley brothers' rooster crow letter was out of stock again, and the Slytherin students had almost disdained it because they thought they were safe, but now that the situation was stronger than human, they had to buy something from their opponents.

Even if they made a lot of money, but George and Fred didn't have a smile on their faces, their younger brother was petrified, although they usually occasionally played pranks on Ron, but the family relationship between the family is very deep, these are just some means to increase affection, harmless, and the problem of the basilisk is directly life-threatening, which makes them have to worry.

In the hospital room, Ginny, Harry, and Hermione also ran over to see Ron whenever they had time, even though he couldn't say anything, his mouth was wide as if he had seen something terrible.

"I should have gone back with you. Harry said to himself as he turned to Ron on the hospital bed.

At that time, Harry was about to go to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class with Ron, but Ron didn't bring his book, and Harry was going to turn back with Ron to get the book, but Ron blocked it: "Professor McGonagall is not good for being late for class, and it is better to deduct one person's points than two." Then Ron threw Harry and hurried back to get the book.

That was the last thing Ron said to him that day.

"Harry, it's not your fault. Hermione reassured him, "Maybe you're with him and you're petrified too? ”

"Fu--how long will it take for that medicine to be completely complete? Harry jerked his head up and asked Hermione, his eyes burning with rage, he was about to say the Polyjuice Potion, but he forced to change his words when he saw Ginny still around.

"Christmas bar. Hermione also glanced at Ginny, then thought about it for a moment before saying that her feelings were more complicated, one of her closest friends had also been petrified, which made her very depressed, she hoped to get the truth as soon as possible, but also hoped that the truth did not really come from that person's mouth, this complicated mood made her look anxious, she suspected that she would be nervous in front of Malfoy and lose her words, and mess everything up.

"That's good. Harry shook his fist, "If I let me know who did it, I'm going to make him pay!"

And at this time, the Slytherin common room can be used to make noise, The big bunch of students looked worried, although Ron had a bad name as a pureblood in their eyes, but no matter how he said he should be different from those mudbloods, I didn't expect that even he was petrified, which made the Slytherin students who had been sitting back and quiet before couldn't help but be frightened, even if they all had a few rooster crow letters in their hands, they couldn't calm their choppy hearts, they felt that they had to keep discussing, as if this would alleviate their fear.

Malfoy felt like he had guessed the truth, quite simply, Riddle was taking Ron because his brother was selling letters, for a very simple reason. As for why they didn't try to attack them personally, it was easy to guess that it was easier to deal with one person than two, not to mention that Ron was still very low, easier to deal with, and more deterrent.

Imminent, Malfoy sighed silently, he wanted to kick Dumbledore out of school, and only the father who was keen on fighting for power was willing to do it, if Dumbledore was gone, how could Hogwarts talk about the safest place in the wizarding world in Europe?

If Dumbledore really left his job completely, and Hogwarts was a public company, it is estimated that the stock would fall in an instant, and Lucius would lose his own blood first.

Malfoy felt his head hurt again, he hadn't found a perfect plan yet, and all the known methods could always be a surprise.
