Chapter 267: William's Bad Joke

"I'm just saying that he's suspicious, and I'm not very sure. Aren't I right? ”

After Hermione strode away from the table where the others had been doing, Ron was still complaining to Harry in indignation.

"You know what, Harry. The Friedrich family is the most famous dark magic family in Germany, isn't it easy for that guy to find some petrified dark magic in the family collection?

Hermione, why was she so protective of Friedrich? ”

"Say no more, Ron." Noticing the gazes of several curious Gryffindor cubs, Harry quickly interrupted Ron, who couldn't control the volume.

Immediately afterward, Harry also spoke his mind.

"You have a lot of truth in what you say, Friedrich is indeed suspicious, but Hermione is right, we do lack a lot of crucial evidence.

If we had relied on our own speculations, Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall would not have believed us. And, Malfoy of Slytherin, I think he's more suspicious, Friedrich doesn't seem to have any particular hatred for Muggles. ”

Hearing Harry's words, Ron nodded in agreement, and after getting Harry's support, Ron did seem to be much more confident.

"You have a point, and I think Malfoy's obnoxious rat face is indeed more suspicious."

For the equally annoying Malfoy, Ron did not let go easily, he also listed Malfoy at the top of the list of suspects, and smeared mercilessly in his mouth.

"The family has always had a stereotypical prejudice against Muggles, and they have followed mysterious people. Maybe the key to the secret room was their family's heirloom, passed down for generations and finally in Draco's hands. ”

In Ron's mind, Draco and William were in the top three of the most obnoxious lists, in no particular order.

As for who the other person is, it goes without saying, I'm afraid there is no other candidate besides Snape.

"However, it doesn't mean that Friedrich is not suspicious, in fact, I have always thought that the two of them did something together, and maybe there was Snape's old bat involved!"

Well, now the three people he disliked the most were all together.

"I don't think Snape was involved, remember? His relationship with Friedrich had been very strained, and he had been protecting me last semester. Hearing Ron's increasingly unreliable speculation, Harry quickly interrupted his unfinished words.

"But Friedrich and Malfoy, I think the two of them are really suspicious."

"yes, that's what I thought, too. The question now is how do we find direct evidence. Ron replied with some distress.

"We can't just swagger and sit on the couch in the lounge and ask them questions. Were you the one who attacked Lady Loris, Friedrich?

Or maybe you opened the Chamber of Secrets, Draco? Unable to think of a solution, Ron said to Harry with some distress.

On the other hand, Harry also couldn't do anything better about the current situation, after all, he was only a second-year wizard, and it was common sense that he should not take the initiative to participate in such a very dangerous adventure.

However, if you are afraid of unknown adventures because of your age, is you still a qualified Gryffindor?

Not knowing how to do it, Harry quickly thought of someone who could break the situation.

"Perhaps, we can ask Hermione?" Harry said with some uncertainty.

"Every time we're at a loss, she's going to have a solution, isn't she?"

"But, we just had an awkward fall out with her, will she really help us?" Ron asked with some uncertainty, he couldn't help but regret it a little at the moment, if Hermione was here, with her ingenuity, she would definitely find a solution.

Hermione she'll help me, and besides, you're the one who broke with her, not me. Harry thought silently to himself.

"Maybe I can ask her, and besides, we don't have any irreconcilable contradictions, as long as both of you are willing to take a step back." Harry tried to convince his friend.

He didn't want to see Ron and Hermione's relationship revert back to what it was at the beginning of first grade.

"I'll apologize to her, Harry." Ron's voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"If she really has a solution and is willing to help us." He continued to add.

"I'll tell her, Ron, but not now, wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow the three of us will sit together and talk, there is nothing that cannot be solved, is there? ”

"What broke it when you said it?" The eagle-shaped knocker used its ethereal voice that had not changed for ten thousand years towards William's riddle of the day.

"The answer is silence, your recent questions are really getting less and less new."

"Shut up, it's all because the headmaster won't give me time off, I've been working tirelessly for almost a thousand years." The knocker replied angrily, and then slowly opened the door to the lounge

After a few words of customary eagle-shaped knockers, William's cheerful Hang Seng Finger Tune returned to the Ravenclaw common room.

He was happy now, because the conversation with Myrtle had gone well, and William had now finally mastered the Basilisk entry and exit times, once the journal controlled Ginny to enter the abandoned bathroom and open the secret room to summon the basilisk.

Then William could definitely sense the signal transmitted by the pressure sensor he had placed there for the first time.

Because of the Halloween night experiment, William had determined that the young Riddle would not notice the little tricks that William had arranged, so he had the audacity to arrange them at the entrance to the chamber.

As soon as William returned to the break room, he bumped into Terry who was about to walk outside.

William was surprised that the latter did not act as a quiet salted fish in his old position, so he asked with some curiosity.

"Terry, what are you doing here?"

"Go find the Weasley brothers and go on a Terry-esque adventure." Terry said excitedly to William.

"To cause trouble for Snape? Or are you going to get ready to spoof Snape's stuff? ”

"Neither, the Weasley brothers and I are going to get some butterbeer and come back!"

"Well, if I were you, I wouldn't be walking outside so late, beware of being eaten by an old monster that has lived for a thousand years."

"Your jokes are so cold, William. Okay, I'll go out first and come back in a moment. ”
