Chapter 54: An Heir Who Could Get Out of Control?
After getting the answer she wanted to know, Harley slipped back to her place with her plate.
Hermione was chatting with Lavender's group of girls, who were still smiling with their mouths covered from time to time.
"A love letter from Fred and George to Professor Snape?" Hermione, noticing that Hallie had returned, turned her head and asked in a whisper.
Hallie nodded, then feeling a little curious, "What were you guys talking about earlier?" Why are they smiling so happily? ”
As she spoke, Harley quietly gestured to the girl across the table.
The expression on Hermione's face instantly became very exciting, and she hesitated for a moment before replying, "They are guessing who wrote that love letter to you today." ”
"Harley, who do you think wrote it to you? There was also a special request for the delivery of a message. ”
Lavender, who was across the table, suddenly interjected, and then covered his mouth and laughed with Parvati.
Hallie rolled her eyes and ignored them.
It's probably a boy who would do something like this, but he's doomed to be disappointed.
If it's a cute and beautiful girl, a certain face-controlled witch can also consider it.
Schoolboy...... As far away as you go, hey!
……
Dinner was still going on, when suddenly, Peeves rushed in and shouted:
"Run, run! It's dead again, and this time it's a Slytherin pureblood! ”
There was silence in the auditorium at first, and then the pot exploded. The students' faces were filled with expressions of fear.
Some time ago, Professor Sprout announced that the mandrake was about to ripen, and that the petrified students would soon be able to be cured.
When they heard the news, everyone was in a happy mood, as if the clouds in their hearts had completely dissipated.
But now, all of them have once again remembered the fear of being dominated by monsters whose presence cannot be observed.
Professor McGonagall was the first to stand up, using magic to silence the students, and expertly directing the prefects to lead the students back to their house's common room.
And she and the other professors hurried to deal with the emergency.
Professor McGonagall's face was very unsightly, and the other professors were also pale.
Professor Snape, who had always been a calf guard, had drawn his wand, and an invisible chill emanated from it.
It was clear that if the Slytherin heir officially appeared in front of him, he would definitely have to fight the other side.
For the first time, Professor Lockhart's face had a look of fear, and for the first time, he didn't stand up to make a name for himself, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The students quickly returned to their common rooms. Soon, the ghosts of the various colleges brought the students a real picture.
Slytherin's former Seeker, Terrance Higgs, was attacked at the door of the Slytherin common room.
After learning the specific news from Nick, who was almost headless, the common room exploded instantly, and many people's faces were filled with deep fear.
"Why are you so scared? Slytherin was punished, is that a good thing? Ron asked, puzzled.
"My stupid brother," Fred sighed, "can you use your not-so-clever brain and think about it?" ”
As soon as Ron wanted to have a seizure, George picked up Fred's words:
"This chain of attacks must have been the work of the Slytherin heirs, after all, the Chamber of Secrets was mentioned in the first attack.
But now, a pure-blood has been attacked. What does this mean? ”
Ron also understood, and immediately gasped: "The monster in the secret room is out of control?" ”
"There is another possibility, the heir of Slytherin is crazy." Fred sighed,
"In that case, everybody won't be safe. A crazy heir is likely to launch an indiscriminate attack on Hogwarts students! ”
Ron's expression suddenly became as wonderful as it was.
Instead of participating in the students' discussions, Hallie touched Nick's side, "Sir Nicholas, can I ask some questions?" ”
"Of course, my dear child." Nick replied.
Nick has always said everything about Harley, who never calls him by the nickname "Nick who almost has no head", but only calls himself by his honorific name.
"That Slytherin was petrified too? Is there anything unusual around him? Harley asked softly.
"Nothing." Nick shook his head, "Unlike the previous times, there were mirrors or cameras or something, but this time there was nothing. ”
Hallie nodded, no more.
……
At night, it was still dark in the dormitory. Many young wizards couldn't sleep and spent the night discussing what had happened today.
As Lavender and Parvati went to the bathroom to wash up, Hermione called out to Harley:
"Hallie, what's wrong with you? I feel like your expression is particularly unsightly today. ”
"Hogwarts may be going to be shut down." Hallie lay on the bed with her head resting on her hands.
"What?" Hermione couldn't believe her ears, and it took a long time for her to react, "Hogwarts is going to close?" ”
"It's just possible, but it's more likely." Harley added faintly.
"Why? Because of the attack? Hermione still couldn't believe it.
"Because there were purebloods who were attacked." Harley stared at the top of the tent with deep eyes, "As long as it is an old pure-blood family, it will have some influence on the Ministry of Magic."
The Terrance family's influence in the Ministry of Magic is not small. I remember Percy saying that several members of their family held positions in the Ministry of Magic, and one of them was an Auror.
As long as they put pressure on the Ministry of Magic, the Minister for Magic will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and it is likely that Hogwarts will be closed as a result. ”
Hermione fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
During this time, Harley had a lot of thoughts on her mind.
It's actually more serious than she said. Why did that heir attack purebloods?
Harry felt that it was most likely an attempt to exert political pressure on Professor Dumbledore and Minister for Magic, Fudge.
There are pure-blood wizards who have been attacked, and this will certainly be covered by the Daily Prophet, rather than quietly as Muggle wizards have been attacked before.
Fudge couldn't withstand the political pressure 100 percent and wanted to trouble Dumbledore.
I just don't know if Hogwarts is a school under the jurisdiction of the government, and if so, then Professor Dumbledore belongs to the Ministry of Magic and will be dismissed.
Even if Hogwarts is an independent school, public opinion may force Professor Dumbledore to resign voluntarily.
After forcing out the only demigod-level powerhouse, this heir can do what he wants in Hogwarts with impunity.
After all, the Ministry of Magic has to talk about the process, and after Dumbledore leaves the school, he still needs to go through various procedures before Hogwarts will officially close.
And the goal of this mysterious heir can undoubtedly be accomplished within this short gap.
As for whether Hogwarts will live or die after that, and whether it can reopen schools, that is probably not in the scope of the murderer's consideration.
It is even said that if the murderer is not caught before he completes his goal, and the murderer is allowed to leave the school, then Hogwarts may not be able to reopen after a long time.
Harley sighed, she didn't want Hogwarts to be shut down.
After all, this is a place where Harley's abilities can be greatly enriched, and it can also increase her Potions knowledge in the most effective way.
Harley had almost completely placed her hopes of regaining her strength and going further on Hogwarts.
"Looks like I'm going to talk to the professor about that diary, and hopefully it's still too late." Hallie rolled over in bed and picked up a magic mirror.
This magic mirror is a magic mirror that Hallie has carefully crafted, and has been concocted from various materials.
The mirror is also blessed with various rituals, and although it is only an extraordinary artifact of the witch path, it has actually reached the category of magical items to a certain extent.
Harley looked at the face reflected in the mirror, and her blue eyes were unwavering, without a trace of emotion.
