Chapter 55: You're still weird
The next morning, when word of Penelope Creval's attack spread throughout Hogwarts, the young wizards thought that Harry Potter must be insane.
"He started out attacking only those who opposed him, and now he's targeting all wizards from the Muggle world!" Ernie McMillan spoke to everyone he knew. He almost assumed that Harry was the murderer, and made up how Harry had commanded the monster to attack someone.
They also questioned why the professors didn't expel Harry.
"It's as if he saw it with his own eyes." Ron rolled his eyes, struggling for Harry.
"I feel like pretty much all the gossip is coming from Ernie McMillan." During the Charms class, Cyrus deliberately got rid of Malfoy's two small henchmen and arrived a little late.
With no other place to go, he sat behind Harry and Ron, and sat in a row with Hermione.
He deliberately showed a look of disgust on his face so that others would think that he was not so reluctant. But behind the scenes, he was biting with Hermione. Hermione's face blushed, remembering the "Mr. Riddle" she had seen in the meditation basin not long ago.
"I ask you, when did you start possessing Ginny?" Hermione asked in a whisper with a blushing face, lowering her head.
"The first possession was not long after the start of school last year, in the Quidditch match last semester, after Colin Creevey was petrified, until Christmas, almost all of them were in control of me, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing ......"
But Hermione's face was redder than it had been before. Sellers could feel a breath of heat as she sat next to her.
She changed the subject, poked Harry who was sitting in front with a quill, and threw a note over.
"What are we going to do? Maybe we should go to Hagrid and ask about it. ”
"But Hagrid couldn't have known who opened the chamber this time." Harry replied reluctantly.
Asking him to question Hagrid is worse than killing him! He couldn't help but think back to the last time Justin was attacked. Professor Dumbledore took him to the Headmaster's office, and Hagrid rushed in to help him speak.
'Hagrid believed me, but I doubted him—'
"At least we can ask what the hell is that monster in the secret room!" Hermione said immediately.
Like Harry, who was reluctant to go to Hagrid, was Cyrus.
You must know that his current identity is the same "Riddle" who framed Hagrid and imprisoned. Not many people know the truth about the time and the true identity of Voldemort, and maybe even Hagrid doesn't know.
But if two people meet like this, it will never be a wonderful encounter.
He had to stop Hermione.
"Let's wait." He reached out and intercepted the note, "Maybe there's another way, I'm sure the professors won't be indifferent." Hagrid didn't mean to commit these sins, and it would be cruel to uncover his scars now. ”
Harry looked at Sellers with emotion: "Mr. Riddle, I didn't expect you to be weird!" ”
Hermione still didn't think it was good: "But, if there is any-"
"If anyone gets killed, we'll go to Hagrid!" Cyrus said forcefully, "Make everything clear!" ”
-----------------
"What if someone gets killed? We have to go to Dumbledore! Fred and George had a rare disagreement, "Make everything clear!" ”
"But then our secret was completely exposed." George said with a frown.
"Now there's no difference between it and a complete exposure." Fred said, "Come to think of it, the heir stole the map of the living point, do you expect him to return it to us when he runs out?" Now there is another victim, still a prefect. Look at what Percy has been scared of in the past two days? We have to do something! ”
George didn't speak, but the scales in his heart had begun to tilt.
Fred has a point.
If the heir takes their map and attacks the little wizard in the castle and then escapes, then they are no different from accomplices. And the chances of getting back the live map are almost zero.
In that case, what does it matter if this secret is exposed or not?
"Think about it, if the clues we provide help, maybe we'll be the heroes who captured the heir!" Fred suddenly said, "Did you know that Ron and they're looking for a murderer too?" If we can get the first step, he'll be angry! ”
Hearing this, George immediately smiled.
It makes them happier than being a hero to let their brother work hard for a long time but get nothing.
"I can already imagine his depressed face." George touched Fred's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards Professor McGonagall's office.
"Professor! We have important information about the Successor that we would like to report to Headmaster Dumbledore! ”
"Heir?" McGonagall's dignified face trembled a little, and she stood up and looked at the two troublemakers in front of her seriously, "George, Fred! I want you to understand that this is not the time for pranks! ”
"We don't, how can you think that?"
"Yes, Hogwarts can't find a more disciplined student than we do."
The twins looked very hurt.
"From the first day you came to Hogwarts, there were no rules!" McGonagall's eyes widened, but she led them toward the principal's office, "Listen, if you dare to joke about this, I'll write to your mom to take you home for a semester!" ”
"Don't worry!"
"Absolutely exciting!"
McGonagall led them to the location of the dripper statue and gave the command.
Today's mantra is "jelly slug".
"Go up yourselves." McGonagall held her hands in front of her and watched solemnly as the spiral elevator went up.
George and Fred immediately took the elevator up, and they could tell they were excited.
The elevator lifted the two of them up, and when it slowly opened, a spacious and beautiful circular room immediately appeared in front of them.
The room was filled with all sorts of funny little sounds.
On the table with slender legs, there were many strange silverwares, spinning and belching small puffs of smoke. The walls are covered with portraits of the old headmasters, both men and women, all snoring softly in their frames.
There is also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs.
Dumbledore crouched at the table, looking up at them in surprise.
"What do you have to say?"
Fred and George had to turn their attention away from the novelty little things in the headmaster's office.
"We have an important matter to report to you, sir."
"There's something about the heir."
