Chapter 59: Ike Is a Bad Guy?
Ike's purpose has always been clear, that is, to learn magic, and as for the rest, it is dispensable to a certain extent.
Including the special attitude towards Hermione, it is only from the past difficult to settle, to say that you really like it, you really can't talk about it.
In a way, Harry and Ron were pure bear children, and Hermione, who was a little better, was now a little crooked by the two. Therefore, he is still very patient with Hermione Ike, and the two of them do not have much communication with each other many times, but for Harry and Ron, they are really not sensitive.
Maybe it was the maturity that had always given Dumbledore the wrong message, but when Ike himself refused, it was safe that this kind of thing would not involve him in the future.
After getting rid of a small trouble, Ike said goodbye to Dumbledore. Comrade Deng didn't say anything, as if he respected Ike's decision.
But what the truth is, only Dumbledore himself knows.
For the next few days, the whole of Hogwarts talked about the attacks on Lady Loris and Sir Nicholas. Of course, this is only limited to the junior wizards, who have already experienced this kind of thing too many times, and some of them are used to it, and they just pay a little attention to it. The OWLs and NEWTS exams are like two mountains pressing down on them, and there is really not much time to spare.
Stewart was still attentive to these things, and would tell Ike and the others about what he had heard every day during meals in the common room or auditorium. In just a few days, more than a dozen suspects have changed. Two weeks after the incident, the little wizards basically reached a consensus.
Harry Potter is the most suspicious!
After all, the timing of his appearance was too clever.
And the murder of Sir Nicholas also testifies to this from another direction. The young wizards generally believed that this was Harry's revenge, for having a bad time at the death party.
Rumors are getting more and more outrageous!
Ike had no intention of telling the truth, and he was on the same page as Dumbledore on this point.
Once the students know that there is a centuries-old basilisk in the school, it will definitely cause a great riot in the entire British wizarding world, and the school will be closed as a result.
This goes against Ike's plan.
Before reading the books in the Forbidden Book Zone, Ike was arguably the last person he wanted Hogwarts to close.
After thinking about it, it was really necessary to deal with the basilisk first.
As for Comrade Lao Fu's first Horcrux, you can wait.
The attack had a big impact on Ike's life, and there were so many people coming to the library to borrow books.
The book Hogwarts: A History of the School became a favorite among young wizards, and all the books in the library were borrowed, and the queues were even weeks later.
In addition to this, other books about Hogwarts and the Big Four were swept away.
As for his own book, it had already been taken by Stewart, and it seemed that he was not going to return it to him anytime soon.
Fortunately, as a little wizard who can use closed earbuds to listen to spells without a fight and silently, he can basically ignore the noise from the outside world.
But when someone else comes to you, there's no way to ignore it.
"Ike, Ike......" The little witch stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Ike's eyes, easily getting him out of his state of being addicted to learning and unable to extricate himself.
Looking up at the cautious Hermione and the two Harry and Ron behind her with obvious vigilance on their faces, Ike glanced at Mrs. Pince, and casually put closed earplugs on all three of them to listen and be silent.
"What's wrong? Hermione. ”
"I want to ask, do you know the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Yes." Ike replied casually.
"What! You know! Harry reacted wildly, and Ron was surprised.
"You just didn't find the right place, the Chamber of Secrets is more of a legend, if you go to the book "Hogwarts Secrets", there is a record of the Chamber of Secrets."
After a slight pause, Ike continued, "However, I think you may have to make a trip for nothing, as far as I know, the book has been borrowed and has not been returned. ”
"Who borrowed it?" Ron asked hurriedly. Ike was uncomfortable by the harsh sound and looked at it coldly.
"You're going to ask Mrs. Pince, Mr. Weasley."
Harry quickly and quietly pulled Ron down, and Hermione also glared back, before asking, "Ike, can you tell us then?" About the ...... of the Chamber of Secrets"
"Yes, but not here......"
Leading the three out of the library, Ike found an empty classroom and told the story of Slytherin's construction of the Chamber of Secrets.
“…… Legend has it that this is the case, but it is not yet certain that the Chamber of Secrets really exists......"
"But Filch's cat and Nick, who almost lost his head, have been killed!" Ron exclaimed.
"Maybe someone did it under the guise of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets? Mr. Weasley. ”
"But, those two lines of blood ......," Harry asked, and Ike shook his head, "I don't know......
"Alright Harry, Ron." Hermione stopped Harry and the two of them from asking, and smiled brightly at Ike, "Thank you, Ike." ”
"It doesn't have to be that way, Hermione." Ike nodded slightly and stood up, "If nothing else, I'll go first." ”
"Okay, goodbye Ike."
"Goodbye Hermione, Harry, and Mr. Weasley."
Seeing Ike leave the classroom, Ron suddenly complained, "Listen, what kind of attitude is this!" Who does he think he is? ”
"Alright, Ron." Harry advised, "At least we already know what the Chamber of Secrets is, and that's enough. ”
Ron obviously didn't listen, and said to himself, "He really doesn't look like a Ravenclaw, and he's not like Stewart at all!" ”
"Harry, Hermione, he must be hiding something, I'm sure!" Ron's tone was firm, "You said Harry, he used to get involved with the guy who couldn't name him, I think he was a lot like the perverted old madman in Slytherin who proposed purebloods, and it made me feel ......"
"Ron!" Hermione loudly interrupted Ron's broken thoughts, "We shouldn't be speaking ill of others behind our backs!" ”
"Come on, Hermione, dare I say you've been deceived!" Ron snapped, "Think about it, you've seen a wizard with so many silent spells at his age!" ”
"He's the heir of that Slytherin!"
"Ron......" Harry didn't want to see his two friends arguing, so he pulled Ron's arm and said, "It's impossible, you also said that it was the heir of Slytherin, and it must be hidden in Slytherin." ”
"That can't be ......," Ron read Harry's eyes, his voice getting quieter and quieter, and by the end it was almost inaudible, but he was clearly still suspicious of Ike.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alright, it's time for us to leave......"
"Actually, I still think Malfoy is more of a Slytherin heir......"
