A few days later, while Nicks was sitting in the lounge reading a book, Seamus sat down next to him and asked, "Nicks, do you say alchemy has anything to do with fire?" ”

Nix was a little confused: "What kind of relationship do you say?" ”

"Is it that I control the flames, does it help me learn alchemy?"

Nick thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, I just saw in my dad's diary that ancient runes are the cornerstone of alchemy, and the other diaries didn't write it, how do I know." ”

"And who do you think knows?"

"Dumbledore." Nix replied without looking up.

"Don't make a fuss, how can we possibly meet the headmaster."

"It's not hard to meet the principal, and I'm sure the principal will be happy to answer your questions." The Knicks felt that with Dumbledore's character, he would not refuse to answer.

Seamus looked at the Knicks and asked, "Are you kidding?" How could we possibly meet the principal. ”

Nicks looked at Seamus strangely and said, "We see Dumbledore every day, Dumbledore sits there for breakfast and dinner." As long as we stop Dumbledore when we get back from eating, and ask questions. ”

Seamus looked at the Knicks in a daze, he had never thought of this method, the headmaster was very busy in the eyes of the little wizard and couldn't be bothered casually.

At dinner, Dumbledore didn't show up, and Seamus was disappointed. Nicks reassured, "Don't be discouraged, there's still some time to turn in the class schedule." ”

Neville, who was sitting together, said, "Nix, I handed in the timetable the way you did, but Professor McGonagall didn't seem happy. ”

"She won't let you choose them all?" Nicks asked curiously.

"Not really, it's just a strange look at me." Neville explained as he swallowed the beef in his mouth.

Nick thought to himself, Professor McGonagall is so cultured that she didn't taunt you. Looking at Neville gobbling up. "You need to move, or you're going to be a ball."

Neville didn't care about any of that, and still binge-eaten.

Harry ate very little. Ginny had been watching Harry, and was even more concerned after learning that Harry had gotten the notes. Harry ate less because he had something on his mind and had nothing to do with the notes, but Ginny thought Harry was affected by the notes.

While eating dinner, Ginny kept staring at Harry, her movements were not hidden, and everyone around her knew that she liked Harry, and it didn't matter if she hid it or not.

Nicks noticed that Ginny was looking at Harry with something wrong, Ginny had seen Harry as shy and adoring, but now her eyes were full of worry.

Ron watched Harry keep stirring the food in front of him and persuaded, "Harry, you need to eat, Quidditch training requires physical strength." ”

Harry shook his head, "I'm not hungry. ”

Ron smeared the sausage with thick tomato sauce, handed it to Harry and said, "Eat, we can find the murderer, at least we know the clues, it's a lot better than before." Ron was referring to Hagrid's knowledge that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened, but that was one of the reasons Harry's trouble.

After Quidditch training, Harry was tired, hungry, and dirty. After taking a shower, he returned to the common room to see Nicks and Hermione eating a large plate of barbecue, his stomach rumbling.

Walked up to Nix and asked, "Can I get some?" ”

"Well, let's eat." Nick Dow. The barbecue is prepared by house-elves, and as soon as you eat one skewer, you will replenish the skewer. Hermione was also attracted by the aroma, and she didn't ask Nicks, she sat there eating and reading a book.

"What kind of meat is this?" Harry picked up a bamboo stick.

"I don't know, the house elves roasted it." Nicks replied.

Harry asked Nick and Hermione as he ate, "Do you think it's really the Chamber of Secrets that Hagrid opened?" ”

"Probably not." Hermione wasn't so sure.

"It's not." Nick Dow.

Harry hesitated, "But why did the Slytherin heir reappear after fifty years of silence?" ”

"It's a substitution." Nix replied.

"Substitution?" Harry wondered.

Nicks rambled, "Think about how old people from fifty years ago are now, maybe they are all dead, and the new Slytherin heir is probably his descendant." He must have known about what happened fifty years ago, he didn't kill people directly, he just petrified Muggle-born little wizards, scared them, and dropped out of school. ”

"Then why did he choose Colin Creevey and Justin Finchrie?" Harry asked again.

"Who knows." The Knicks couldn't explain it.

Harry was eating as he thought about the heir, and after a moment he suddenly spoke, "Maybe it was Hagrid who opened the secret room." ”

The Knicks were shocked, what Harry had just experienced, how he doubted Hagrid.

"Don't you trust Hagrid?" Hermione said angrily.

Harry explained, "You see that several of the petrified people have something to do with me, and Filch often gets us in trouble, and his cat is petrified. ”

"Does this have anything to do with Hagrid?" Hermione was puzzled.

"Hagrid wants to warn Fairch that he petrified the cat." Harry explained, continuing, "Hagrid didn't want to kill people to close the school, petrification could both warn everyone and keep the school open. The rest of the petrified people are also related to me.

I'm a little annoyed with Colin Creevey, he's so annoying, I complained about it when I talked to Hagrid, I was avoiding Colin Creevey all the time, Hagrid probably petrified him for me. ”

Hermione retorted, "And what about Justin Finchrie, he didn't pester you, and you didn't complain to Hagrid about him. ”

Harry shook his head, "It's true that he's not like Colin. Didn't pester me, and I didn't talk to Hagrid about him. But everyone said that on the day Lockhart held the dueling club, I instigated the snake to attack him, and I think Hagrid might have believed the rumors and petrified him. ”

Nick wanted to laugh in his heart, what kind of nonsense was this, and asked: "What about the headless Nick, he was petrified with Justin Finchrie, that ghost didn't offend you, and there were no rumors that you were going to attack him, by the way, he was said to be a pure-blood." How do you explain that? ”

"Maybe he found out that the attacker was Hagrid, you know ghosts can go through walls, and he saw Hagrid attacking Justin Finchrie and being petrified by Hagrid." Harry explained.

"And what do you want, report Hagrid?" Nicks asked.

"No, we should stop Hagrid, we can't go any further, and we can't attack anyone else before something happens." Harry hurriedly explained.

Hermione got up and said, "Harry, don't you think that's ridiculous?" How could Hagrid be the heir, he couldn't have petrified someone else. ”

Seeing Hermione leave angrily, the Knicks also got up and said to Harry before leaving, "I don't think it can be Hagrid." He can't keep a secret, remember last year's events? It's all he told you. Oh yes, you don't have to worry about it when you're done eating, there will be house-elves to clean it up. ”

Harry was left alone in the common room, silently eating barbecue, looking at the fire in the fireplace and thinking, maybe the Knicks were right, Hagrid couldn't keep the secret, he was the heir long ago.
