Chapter 266: Suspect William

"Ron, are you saying William is the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets? How is this possible? In the Gryffindor common room, Hermione asked Ron in disbelief.

"Don't call it so intimate, Hermione. Didn't you see that he just called you Miss Granger? Why do you call him so intimately! Hearing Hermione's question, Ron asked with some dissatisfaction.

In fact, when it comes to William, Ron's near-single-digit IQ can go to zero very quickly.

"What I want to call others is my own business!" Hermione replied fiercely, that she did look a lot like a lioness from Gryffindor at this moment.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, the peacemaker Harry quickly interrupted them.

"Okay, let's not talk about that."

"Ron, how did you get suspicious of William?" After seeing that both of them had calmed down, Harry asked Ron with some confusion, like Hermione, he had never put the suspect on William's body.

"Have you forgotten? At Nick's death party that night, William had disappeared for a long time, and he didn't come back until we were gone. As if he had already identified William as the murderer, Ron spoke to Harry and Hermione with great certainty.

And these words did cause the two to think, as Ron said, on that night, William did leave Nick's birthday party a long time early.

Could this really be William's doing?

It doesn't make sense, isn't he a Ravenclaw?

Perceiving the confusion in their eyes, Ron spoke again.

"Besides, he was caught red-handed by us at the scene of the crime, isn't that telling?" Ron's face even flushed a little because he was so excited, and he felt that he had finally caught William's handle.

That obnoxious Ravenclaw little white face, he's going to be in his hands soon!

However, he didn't look nervous at all! It's not like we were caught at the scene of the crime, so normal people would be nervous! Harry asked, a little skeptically.

To be honest, he has always lacked sufficient judgment, judging from the plot in the original book, even in the following years Harry did not grow enough, he has always been as ignorant and arrogant as a child.

This ultimately killed his only relative, his future godfather, Sirius.

"Perhaps, we are all fascinated by his superb acting skills." Naturally, Ron would not easily give up such a great opportunity to discredit William.

So as soon as Harry raised his doubts, he replied.

After such a long time, he has come up with a set of theoretical hypotheses that are sufficient to justify himself.

"I don't know if you remember, when we met William that day, he almost always turned his back to us and didn't talk to us much, isn't this a sign of his weak heart?"

"But William, I mean, Friedrich, he was a Ravenclaw, how could he open the secret room that Slytherin left at Hogwarts? His family had never been active in England, so how could he have a key to open the secret room? On the other side of the table, Hermione asked William with some suspicion.

For the sake of her own feelings, she didn't want to admit that William had anything to do with the attack, and she knew that Ron would become emotional at the mention of William.

It made her not fully believe what Ron was saying.

"Maybe, maybe." Ron stuttered a little, apparently he hadn't thought of such a complicated issue in his simple mind.

"Maybe Friedrich's family really had an ambiguous connection to Slytherin, and no one knew his whereabouts when Slytherin left Hogwarts.

Maybe he didn't pay attention and ran away to what is now Germany, maybe William's family is the descendants of Slytherin! Ron thought about it for a long time before he could barely come up with such a reasonable explanation.

But Hermione didn't let Ron go so easily.

"You don't have any basis for saying that, Ron. If that's the case, then the Sorting Hat will definitely assign him to Slytherin! Hermione quickly found new evidence to refute Ron's speculation.

Hearing Hermione retort to himself again and again, Ron's face suddenly darkened, and he said to Hermione with some unhappiness.

"Is there anything wrong with what I say about it, and then you always refute my point of view like this, and then look at Friedrich's little white face for no reason? Or do you actually like that Ravenclaw nerd who only knows how to read? Ron didn't control his volume this time, he couldn't stand Hermione's condescending attitude for a long time.

Thanks to the remoteness of their location, and the constant noise in the Gryffindor lounge, Ron's voice didn't reach the ears of the energetic lion cubs.

Otherwise, after a night's time, by tomorrow morning, it may become a big gossip that the students of the four academies know.

And after hearing Ron's words, Hermione's reaction was obviously more intense than Ron's. With a snap, she slammed the book in her hand on the table in front of several people.

"I don't, and he's not a nerd as you say, I'm just talking about things, these theories of yours don't hold up at all!" Hermione stood up and said menacingly to Ron, who looked like a lioness.

Ron, on the other hand, temporarily acts as the poor little sheep under the lioness's paws.

"Do you have any evidence pointing directly at William? If not, how do I know if your suspicions are based on sound speculation or if you have stereotyped prejudices about him. ”

"Oh? My guess doesn't hold water, the troublesome clever Miss Granger tells us who really opened the secret room! Ron, who had been pierced by Hermione, suddenly turned red.

"I don't know, but it certainly wasn't William's doing, and the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets had to be a descendant of Slytherin."

Hearing Hermione's answer, Ron couldn't help but start sarcastic.

"Oh? It turns out that the genius Miss Granger also has something she doesn't know! ”

"Enough, Ron! I'll find the one who actually opened the secret room. Hermione stood up, took the book in her arms, and strode away.
