By the next day, the snow that had begun to fall at night had turned into a blizzard, and the herb class had been cancelled due to Professor Sprout tending to the mandrake (potions made from it were now the only way to de-petrify).

Aitch used his fat fox as a scarf, with his big tail around his neck, and leaned back on a library chair to read a book together.

Harry and Ron came running in from outside, looking around as if they were looking for someone. A group of Hufflepuff students who were supposed to be in the herb conservatory were sitting in the back of the library, but they didn't look like they were studying. In the middle of two long rows of bookshelves, Aitch could see their heads resting together, as if there was some catchy conversation.

When Harry and Ron walked towards the Hufflepuff group, they deliberately bypassed Edge, and there seemed to be fear, wariness, and rejection of Edge. Then they stopped and hid behind the bookshelves to listen.

Interesting...... Aitch also wanted to hear what Hufflepuff students had to talk about. But Aitch doesn't need to come over, so as not to attract the exclusion of the two of them, since learning snake language, Aitch's hearing has been greatly improved, this distance, as long as the brain can throw away the irrelevant "noise".

Aitch closed his eyes, and a three-dimensional model of the library appeared in his mind, but it was constructed by sound. He shifted his focus behind the bookshelves.

"Anyway," said one boy, "my name is Justin and I'm hiding in our dormitory." I mean, if Potter was to take him as his next target, he'd better hide for a while. Of course, Justin had been waiting for that day since he accidentally told Potter that he was Muggle-born. In fact, Justin told him that he had been unlucky because of it. This isn't something you can casually reveal to Slytherin's descendants, is it? “

"Have you identified it as Potter?" A girl asked eagerly.

"Ah," said the boy in a serious voice, "he's a parseltongue, and everyone knows it's the mark of a dark wizard." Have you ever heard of a normal person talking to a snake? ”

This caused a burst of muttering, and he continued, "Remember the writing on the wall? 'Whoever is an enemy of the Slytherin heir will die!' 'Potter and Filch had a bit of a holiday, we all knew it, so Filch's cat was attacked; First-year Colin upset Potter at a Quidditch match by taking a picture of him lying in the mud, and that night, he had an accident. ”

"But he always seemed so kind," the girl said uncertainly, "but he was the one who made 'that person' disappear." At least, he's not exactly bad, is he? ”

The boy mysteriously lowered his voice, and Harry and Ron probably moved to the side to hear what he had to say, making a squirming sound.

"No one knows how he managed to survive the attack of 'that man'. I mean, he was just a baby, he should have been torn to shreds, and only a true Dark Wizard could survive that curse. He lowered his voice almost like a whisper, "The reason 'that man' wanted to kill him in the first place may be because he didn't want a powerful dark wizard to compete with him. I wonder what else Potter hasn't revealed. ”

Harry couldn't take it anymore, he cleared his throat loudly and stepped out from behind the bookshelf.

Hearing this, Aitch opened his eyes, "Ah! - "Because a group of people fled from behind the bookshelves, like a flock of sheep being chased by wolves." They ducked behind Aitch, separating Harry. After all, they all knew: Harry had been powerless under Aitch at the fight club last night. With Aitch there, their courage has regained a bit.

"Get out of the way, Edge." Harry said, "I'm looking for Justin. ”

The greatest fears of Hufflepuff House people seem to have been confirmed. They all looked at Harry in fear.

"What are you looking for him?" Aitch frowned, knowing that this would be a bad thing, and the more he explained something, the more chaotic it became. "I told you not to meddle in this matter."

"That's weird! We know everything, and you're the real attacker. Ron tried to pull the Hufflepuff men to Harry's side, "Come over here, Aitch is dangerous." ”

"I'm going to tell him what happened to the snake in the martial arts club." Harry glared at Edge.

The Hufflepuff students looked at Edge, and then looked into Harry's eyes and shrunk even more behind Edge.

The boy, who had always speculated that Harry was the real murderer, trembled, licked his gray lips, took a deep breath, tried to suppress the fear in his heart, and said, "We are all there. We saw what was happening. ”

"Did you notice that? When I finished talking to the snake, it went back. Harry asked.

"What I saw," he said, shuddering and stammering, "was you talking snake and instigating the snake to bite Justin." ”

"I didn't abet it!" Harry's voice trembled with anger, "It didn't even touch him!" ”

"That's just a little," replied the boy, "in order for you to know," he added nervously, "I want to tell you that you can trace my family back to the upper nine generations." My bloodline is as pure as everyone else's, so-"

"I don't care what kind of bloodline you have!" Harry said rudely, "Why would I attack Muggle-born people? ”

"I've heard you hate the Muggles you live with." The boy replied hurriedly.

Harry wanted to say something more.

"Enough! Harry! Edge's outburst shook Mrs. Pince to look over to this side, and Aitch apologized and lowered his voice, "Do you know the story of the north wind and the sun?" The north wind and the sun are arguing over whose energy is greater. They decided that whoever could get the pedestrian to undress would win. The north wind blew violently at the beginning, and the pedestrians on the road tightly wrapped themselves in their clothes, and the wind blew even more fiercely when it saw this. Pedestrians shivered with cold, so they added more clothes. When the wind gets tired, it gives way to the sun. The sun shines a gentle light on pedestrians, who can't stand the heat and take off their clothes. So, leave it alone, that's what's good for everyone. Edge's eyes were fixed on Harry, trying to get him to agree.

"Don't you think about it!" Harry and Ron had come close to pulling out their wands and casting a death curse on him. The chill in their eyes made the Hufflepuff students shiver.

"Also, I've never hated Muggle-born wizards, but it's impossible to live with Dris without hating them." Harry's chest heaved as he turned and rushed out of the library, not even thinking where he was going, he was furious. Ron ran to follow, and left behind, "We will find evidence to reveal your true colors, and we will never let your plot succeed." ”

"Do you think you're the only one with those bad memories?" Edge's fist clenched tightly under his robe, and Harry's words reminded him of the past.

The Hufflepuff students breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Harry and the others walk away, not noticing Edge's erratic and muttering.

"Oops! Could we have made Harry hear what we just said? "One of the girls suddenly remembered that they seemed to have told Justin's whereabouts, but what if Harry happened to hear it?

"Edge, can you help us?" They felt that only Aitch could deal with Harry now.

"This ......," Aitch paused, "all right. ”

Harry stepped up the stairs, then bent down another hallway, which was very dark. The torches had been extinguished by the fierce and cold wind that blew in through the broken glass windows. He was halfway through when he tripped over something lying horizontally on the ground. When he turned to see what had tripped him, he froze.

Justin lay on the ground, cold and hard, exactly like Mrs. Loris and Colin. He stared at the ceiling with vacant eyes and a look of utter shock on his face. There was another man lying next to him, the weirdest scene Harry had ever seen. It was a headless Nick, no longer snow-white and transparent, but black and smoking, floating a few inches from the floor, motionless. He was only half a head left, and the look of shock on his face was exactly the same as Justin's.

Harry stood up. His breathing was rapid and rough, and his ears seemed to be constantly buzzing. He looked around the remote corridor and saw a row of spiders crawling rapidly over the corpses.

The teacher's voice in the classrooms on both sides was faint, still far away. At this point, Ron ran after him and found everything. "Oh no, we need to get out of here, we can't be found again." Like the night of Mrs. Loris's accident, Ron didn't want to go through it a second time.

Harry casually let Ron pull him, but his head kept looking back, now he could run away, and no one else would know he was here. But he didn't want Justin to let them lie here like that......

While Harry was still there, a door next to him slammed open, causing the two of them to stop. The mischievous Peeves jumped out. "It's you! It's Silly Potter! Peeves clucked, and tapped his glasses as he jumped in front of Potter. What did Potter come up for? Potter is hiding here—"

Peeves paused suddenly. Hanging upside down in the air, he recognizes Justin and Nick. He somersaulted in the air, screaming with all his strength before Harry and Ron could stop him, "Attack! Raid! Raid! Raid! People and ghosts are not spared! Run for your life! Attack—Attack! ”

Boom - boom - bang - bang! One by one, the doors in the hallway opened, and everyone who heard Peeves shouting poured out. For a few minutes it was chaos.

Justin: They were in danger of being crushed at any moment, and the people stood next to Nick, who was only half a head. In particular, the Hufflepuff students brought by Aitch shouted "Catch the murderer!" Harry was in great pain at the wall. He saw the shape of Edge's mouth and said, "Look, I'll tell you to leave it alone." ”
