Chapter 156: Diary, Snake, Chamber of Secrets, and Living Point Map

"You don't know?"

The expression on Harry's face was subtle, and although many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, he still wanted to hear what Draco had to say.

"Could it be that you had amnesia before?"

"Amnesia?" Draco was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and denied, "No. ”

"Kassandra is not my own sister, she is my father's illegitimate daughter."

"Uh-huh???" Harry's eyes widened at the unexpected answer, "What an idea I've never imagined." Harry muttered.

"It's a bit of a surprise, isn't it?" Draco's voice didn't change, as if this was normal, "It's true, though. ”

"Kassandra was brought back by her dad two years ago, and like I said, I don't know anything about her past."

"An illegitimate daughter who suddenly appeared became the heir to the Malfoy family, Draco, your heart is a bit big." Harry teased, it was kind of funny.

"Really?" Draco scratched his hair, then shook his head, his eyes seemed to have a twinkle of confusion, "I didn't think about it, maybe it wasn't important." ”

"Is that so? I'll just tell you two siblings how they look a little weird. ”

Harry withdrew his gaze from Draco, "You look like you're scared of her, last year on the train, I almost thought she wasn't your sister, it was your mother." ”

Draco's body shuddered slightly, "How could it be." He subconsciously spoke.

"I guess I was bullied by her, Kassandra looks like a very strong person, girls are more precocious, how many times have they been beaten?"

"My sister is very good to me, she is a gentle and kind girl."

It sounds familiar, and that's how Dobby seemed to describe Kassandra before.

"Ha~ I really hope so." Harry didn't see the slightest bit of tenderness and kindness in Kassandra, after all, she was born in Malfoy, and her fame in Hogwarts was not small, especially in Slytherin, but even so, gentleness and kindness were not her labels, at least no one had seen that side.

"Later, you go to Wood, he arranges your training, this is the basis for wanting to join the warband, if you can't even stand this training, then you don't have to talk about the rest of it."

"I see." Draco replied earnestly.

After watching the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw practice matches, Harry left the Quidditch pitch after taking care of the business at hand.

"It feels like it's getting a little complicated, but it's kind of fun."

As early as when he met Dobby during the holidays, Harry had heard something strange from Dobby's words, and after communicating with Draco, the strangeness in his heart was even stronger.

If Dobby was right to call him for help, where did Draco's danger come from? If Kassandra really wanted to harm Draco, such as choosing to cut down the grass and kill Draco completely in order to take the family property, then she shouldn't have let Draco come to her side.

Dobby once accidentally mentioned the word 'only', Narcissa Malfoy's only child was Draco, and after knowing that Kassandra was an illegitimate daughter, the logic of this sentence did indeed match.

For Narcissa, bringing back an illegitimate daughter was not something she wanted to see, she could not care about how chaotic her husband's private life was outside, after all, nobility was like this, and it was not unusual for the Malfoy family to have such a thing as the only wizarding family in England in the wizarding world with a noble title (Malfoy's ancestors had been given a title by William the Conqueror).

But not only did the girl come back, but she also threatened Draco's inheritance, even if Draco said he didn't care, but as a mother, Narcissa really wanted her only son to be treated like this?

You know, in another timeline, for the sake of Draco, Narcissa dared to lie in front of Voldemort, hiding the fact that Harry was still alive, which indirectly led to Voldemort's defeat, and she loved her children more than anything.

"Kassandra only arrived at Malfoy's house two years ago, and it wasn't long before school started that Narcissa had a strange illness and couldn't afford to get sick, Dobby said Lucius was crazy, and Draco said that his father had become more irritable than before, and even his attitude towards his wife Narcissa had changed unexpectedly."

"But even so. The Malfoy family is still very harmonious, but isn't this the most abnormal point? ”

"Maybe she took the initiative to push Draco to me, with other plans? Lucius holds a grudge against me because of the Black family, which makes sense, and it seems that Lucius will completely separate herself from Draco, and it does seem to help her in her quest for wealth. ”

The clues seemed to be linked, "but I always felt that it wasn't the right answer." Harry frowned and thought about it, he was really not very proficient in conspiracy and calculation, that kind of flower work was used by smart people, not very suitable for him, he preferred to talk about physics rather than reasoning, or rather, after talking about physics, let others listen to him reason.

"Words" is not read in vain.

"By the way, how did I forget the secret room." Harry slapped his head, just thinking about the Malfoy family's struggle for power, but he ignored what he had seen the other day, "Walking around half of the castle to Myrtle's bathroom, there shouldn't be a second possibility other than she already knows that the entrance to the secret room is there." ”

"The Horcrux diary is supposed to be still at Malfoy's house, and Kassandra came into contact with the diary, it's even possible"

"Recreate the scene of the heir, and release the basilisk to cause panic in Hogwarts?"

"Maybe I should ask Hagrid if he's had a rooster poisoned lately. Although I can't understand the scary thing about releasing the basilisk, but. And so on."

Harry's brow furrowed, and after a moment of thought, he slowly spat out a word, "Snake?" ”

Harry suddenly remembered what Dobby had told him that several owls in the house were missing, and even Lucius' favorite peacock was missing, which was obviously not right, and Harry, who was lost in thought, muttered to himself, "Do snakes eat owls and peacocks?" ”

No one in the empty dormitory could answer his question, but at that moment, Rove, who was covered in mud and grass clippings, pushed the door open in a hurry.

"Harry, are you there, didn't you go to the Quidditch pitch? They didn't end until I came back. Rove threw himself on the bed, exhausted from his return from Hagrid.

"I went, but it didn't matter, I came back early." Harry glanced at Rove, then asked, "Rove, do snakes eat owls and peacocks?" ”

"What snake?" Rove replied curiously, "If you can catch it, what will the snake eat, although theoretically the snake is the one to be eaten in front of the owl, but if the predator fails and is entangled by the snake, it is not uncommon for the predator to become food." ”

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Don't tell me something happened to Hedwig, it's the prettiest and smartest snowy owl I've ever seen. ”

"Hedwig is fine." Harry smiled and waved his hand, "Just a casual question." ”

"I got out first for something."

Harry got up and walked to the door, striding out of the Hufflepuff common room.

He made a special trip to the library first, as long as it wasn't too early or meals, there were almost always students there to deal with homework, Harry asked a Gryffindor senior to ask for the password to the common room, and after politely declining her invitation, Harry turned around and walked to the eighth floor.

The Fat Lady was a little curious as to how the Hufflepuff students could come here, but after Harry had given the command, she gave way to the passage behind her, and immediately there was a lively noise coming from the passage, and the little wizards without classes were playing cards and games here, and each house lounge had its own style.

Gryffindor's style is that the common room is not suitable for homework, except in the evening and in the middle of the night, when there are a lot of overtime workers rushing to do homework and waiting to be handed in tomorrow.

The twins, who had just returned from the Quidditch pitch, were sitting in front of the small blackboard by Wood, listening to his analysis of today's training, and Wood was fascinated by Quidditch, but looking at the twins' sleepy faces, he guessed that the two guys didn't listen to a word.

"Hey!"

Harry slapped the twins on the shoulder, and the startled duo looked at Wood, but they were relieved when they found out it was Harry.

"That's right, Boss!"

"We have something to report to you!"

"We almost forgot about it just now."

"Something about equipment upgrades."

The twins winked at Harry covertly, their thoughts exposed.

It's only been a few days, even if these two people are geniuses, it is impossible to get the so-called equipment upgrade, the subject of alchemy is terrifyingly profound, even if the twins can always do it when they are studying, you can learn the first volume, I study the next volume, and together I will learn a whole book, but the learning at twice the speed is still slow.

"I borrowed them, and I happened to have something to do with both of them."

Wood was tempted to say, 'I'll be done in a minute, give me five minutes,' but he didn't speak.

"Help, Captain!"

"You don't know how crazy Wood is this year because of the World Cup!"

"In addition to daily training, this guy actually has to practice."

"Angelina is about to have irregular periods."

"Why do you know this, Fred?"

George stared at Fred with murderous eyes and strangled him viciously.

"I'm not a single dog anymore, George, but you're still a baby."

Fred, who grinned with his teeth, touched George's dog head, but was beaten by George in his arms in the next second.

"You didn't even let Angelina introduce her best friend to me!" George, who entered a state of blood rage in an instant, exploded in combat power and beat Fred to scream.

"Introducing! Introduce! I'll say it when I get back! ”

Fred, who knew that he was wrong, could only admit it, and he still thought about it for a while, and then knocked a good deal on George, such as contracting him stinky socks for a year, but now it is no fun.

Laughing, the two of them and Harry came to a quiet corner, far away from the fireplace and the table, usually a place for couples to kiss and whisper, but it was not yet there, and there was no one in a radius of three or four meters.

"What's the matter, Captain?"

"Finished with whiskey? We do know a few secret passages to Hogsmeade, and it takes less than an hour to run back and forth, which is very convenient. ”

"In the middle of the hallway on the fourth floor, there's a hunchbacked one-eyed witch statue."

"The password is left and right, remember not to really pull the trigger, just hit it with the muzzle."

The twins didn't know anything about Harry, and such a small matter didn't need to be kept secret from Harry.

"No, there is some wine left, and there is no old stock of the three brooms, and I have all the orders at the beginning of the school year, and Mrs. Rosmerta has written to me that she will have to wait a month or two to get me some vintage."

"Then she's going to love you to death." Fred winked mischievously.

"Mrs. Rosmerta, that's a wow~" George had a wicked smile on his face.

As the best tavern in Hogsmeades, the owner of Three Brooms is a wonderful person who combines labels such as a young woman, a wife, a rich woman, a single person without a baby, etc., and his maintenance and figure are very nice, and he is at a delicate critical point at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen.

"Don't beat me up on the idea of giving you a discount after I become the boss." Harry rolled his eyes at the twins, "Be careful, I'll give you a super double when the time comes, and you can't pay off the drinks you sell your pants and pole dance on the street." ”

"Exciting!"

The twins with cheap smiles on their faces slapped their hands, and they looked like they were still a little eager to try?

"Okay, no more, I'll borrow something from you."

"As long as it's not chastity."

"Take it, Captain."

"Fuck off, lend me the map for a while, I'll be useful."

"You know?" Fred and George opened their mouths in shock, "We didn't tell anyone!" ”

"Big Foot, Pointed Fork, Moon Face, Worm Tail, Big Foot is my godfather, Sirius, Pointed Fork is my father, Moon Face is Professor Lupin, now you know?"

"Oh, I see, we thought wait!"

"The pointed fork is your father? And, Professor Lupin? ”

The twins looked at each other, muscles twitching on their faces, not knowing whether to cry or laugh or overjoy.

"I've heard Professor Lupin talk about their Hogwarts masterpiece before, didn't you sneak around with a piece of parchment last year? I've seen it several times. ”

"Where the hell is there, we're looking for the culprit of Percy's persecution on Halloween!"

The twins retorted, but they also understood how they were exposed, as students who had not been at Hogwarts for a long time, the twins knew that many secret passages were a bit out of line, not to mention that they had never hidden this from Harry, although others would not find out, but since Harry knew the map of the living point, it was normal to have this speculation.

"The Living Point Map is indeed with us."

"But it's in the dormitory, I'll get it."

Without saying a word, George got up and walked briskly to their dormitory.

"Can you tell me what you're looking for, Captain?" Fred asked curiously, "Maybe George and I can help, we've already figured out every secret room on the map, and Hogwarts is more familiar than our family." ”

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Harry whispered in Fred's ear.

"But that secret room" Fred's face showed a look of excitement, the two of them had always been curious about these things, "has it appeared on the map?" ”

"Of course not, but someone can take us there."

"The map is here!" George sped back and handed Harry an old yellowed piece of parchment.

"Thanks, then I'll go first, invite you to drink on the weekend, and go to Hagrid's."

"Okay Captain!"

George answered, and after Harry turned to leave, Fred gave George an elbow, "Do you know what earth-shattering secret the Captain just told me?" ”

Fred smiled mysteriously.

"Tell me about it!" Even though he knew that the hook was salty, George still took a bite of it.

"A semester's worth of stinky socks."

"No way! Your stinky feet are worse than a year-old smoked fish, I don't! ”

"That month, at least a month!"

"One." George looked at Fred with a sneer, "That's the limit of what I can handle." ”

"Do you still want Angelina to introduce you to her best friend?!"

Fred glared at George, his eyes full of menace.

"Fack!" George scolded angrily, then nodded with a dark face, "For a week, I'd rather drink a bottle of Snape's potions." ”

"Count you ruthless"

Fred gave George a thumbs up and dared to drink Snape's potion? This determination is stronger than death, and there is really no way to continue bargaining.

"Deal!"
