Chapter 567: Truly worthy of being a Gryffindor
Ever since the attack on Halloween, Albert has been vigilant. He doesn't even dare to use the time turner casually, for fear that he will accidentally bump into a basilisk in the corridor one day, although he also knows that this is the case. The possibility is low, but what if?
Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just in case!
What if you are unlucky enough to bump into a basilisk on the way?
Although Albert is very confident in the protective glasses made by Nico Flamel, confidence is confidence. God knows whether it is effective until it is tested. If he cannot weaken the curse of the basilisk, wouldn't he die on the spot?
The rewards from the panel tasks are indeed eye-catching, but your own life is more important!
Albert feels that he still needs to stabilize first and work hard to develop before fighting the boss.
Of course, Albert wanted to wait until the end of this semester and wait for Harry Potter to successfully save the world. Unfortunately, the situation did not allow it. He had to find a way as soon as possible, otherwise he might not be able to survive it. No one can guard against thieves.
Even Fred, George and Lee Jordan noticed something strange about Albert.
Although they didn’t know the reason, they could guess that something must have happened to Albert to make him so anxious.
Under the questioning of the three people, Albert briefly explained his situation.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan did not take Albert's statement that "I may have been targeted by the heir of Slytherin" as a joke.
After all, Albert is not a sensationalist, and his words are particularly accurate.
Even though they knew that they might be in danger if they acted together with Albert, the three of them would still go with him and try their best to prevent Albert from being alone to avoid being attacked.
From the perspective of the three of them, the heirs of Slytherin were attacking Muggle wizards. They were not Muggle wizards and would not be attacked. They were undoubtedly good talismans.
At least, that’s what Fred, George and Lee Jordan thought.
This idea seems a bit funny to Albert. If Tom really wants to kill himself, he won't care if there are other pure-blood wizards around him, just kill him together.
So far, Ginny Weasley has been controlled by Tom, and she doesn't care whether the target of the attack is her own brother.
“Hagrid said that the big spiders in the forest knew what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was?” Lee Jordan looked around to make sure there was no one around, then asked in a low voice, “So, the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is real?”
"Yes. However, this matter should be kept secret for the time being. Don't talk nonsense. Just know it yourself." Albert reminded in a low voice: "If you are targeted by the heir, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Lee Jordan suddenly fell silent. He actually knew that many students in the school thought that the professors would quickly catch the madman who caused the trouble and drive him out of the school.
However, the actual situation does not seem to be like this. The guy who can make Albert feel like a powerful enemy, the so-called monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is obviously very dangerous.
"Then what are you going to do?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert and asked, "I see that you have been nervous all day. Are you trying to catch the heir of Slytherin?"
"Don't be stupid. Even the Acromantula is afraid of a monster. It means that the monster is very dangerous. I don't want to encounter such a monster. The best way is to let Dumbledore deal with it."
As they were about to come to the corner, the two stopped talking.
Albert had stopped, glanced at the map in his hand, and made sure there was nothing unusual at the corner ahead before moving forward with peace of mind.
"Don't worry, Filch often patrols the place where Mrs. Norris was killed, thinking that the attacker will come again." Lee Jordan raised his finger and pointed to the chair in the corner, behind which was written "The secret room has been opened" The wall of words.
Lee Jordan bent down and gently wiped the writing on the wall with his fingers. He turned to Albert and said, "Last time I saw Filch use Mrs. Skoll's Universal Magic Stain Remover to scrub the writing on the wall. Words, but nothing can be done with these words.”
"I dare say that Professor Flitwick only needed a few seconds to completely clean off the writing on the wall, but he didn't do that. This thing is weird everywhere." Albert Stone looked at the wall that was still there The flashing text whispered softly: "You must remain vigilant at all times."
"We'd better get out of here." Lee Jordan reminded, "Filch has been very bad-tempered recently. He often finds excuses to confine students."
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have a bad temper either.”
“By the way, you didn’t bring the cat to school. Did you know that this would happen?”
"No, I just predicted that something bad would happen. I remember telling you before." Albert glanced at Lee Jordan, knowing that the other party did not take his words seriously at first. That's right, I guess no one would go out of their way to remember those inexplicable words.
At this moment, a scolding voice attracted their attention, it was Percy Weasley. As they walked over, they saw the Gryffindor prefect glaring angrily at his younger brother.
"What are you doing here, looking for clues?" Albert walked over and greeted a few people, "What did Myrtle say? Does she know who the murderer is?"
“Myrtle doesn’t know who did it.” Hermione shook her head. “Is there any news from Hagrid?”
"Well, he doesn't know what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is." Albert glanced at the furious Percy, "But the legend of the Chamber of Secrets should be true. It is said that fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets was opened by a famous person. Muggle wizards were killed by monsters, so we have to be careful."
"us?"
“Albert was talking about me!” Hermione explained.
“Okay, don’t get together here. Others are eating in the hall. If others see you gathering outside the girls’ bathroom,
What do you think? And don’t do any more detective activities. Don’t you know it’s dangerous? Percy warned angrily, "If you keep doing this, I'm going to write to Mummy, Ron." "
"I think Percy is right." Albert agreed with Percy's words and went to the hall to dine with Lee Jordan.
"That guy is a bit baffled." Ron looked at Albert's back and said to his companions, "Isn't he also investigating this matter?"
“That’s different.” Hermione shook her head.
“What’s different?” Harry didn’t understand at all.
"Albert is too famous. He is the most famous genius wizard in the school, and he is from a Muggle family. Naturally, he is very worried about this." Hermione explained.
“You’re saying he’s an easy target?”
“I think the heir of Slytherin will be in trouble if he targets him.”
Ron noticed the confused looks cast by Harry and Hermione and explained, "Fred and George said that Albert was very powerful and had a very good brain. When the Slytherin students tried to trouble him, he was I dealt with it severely. And..."
Ron lowered his voice and said, "I heard that when he was in first grade, Albert dared to go into the Forbidden Forest alone late at night and rescued Fred and George from a bunch of scary big spiders."
Speaking of the big spider, Hermione suddenly remembered something.
"I just noticed that there is a group of spiders trying desperately to escape from the castle. Could this be the reason?" Hermione's mind was very flexible. "Those spiders seem to be very scared."
“Do you think spiders are afraid of the monster in the secret room?”
"I don't know." Hermione shook her head. "I think Albert may have gotten some clues from Hagrid."
“I think he may have already identified the target with his brain.” Ron suddenly said, “Who wants to drive Squibs and Muggle-borns out of Hogwarts the most?”
“You mean Malfoy?”
"You also heard what he said: 'You are next, Mudblood!'" Ron affirmed, "He is very suspicious. I dare say that even if Malfoy is not the heir of Slytherin, he must know some inside information. "
“Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin?” Hermione said doubtfully, “But Albert said that fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts was also opened.”
“Malfoy’s whole family is in Slytherin, and he often shows off this to others.” Harry reminded, “They probably have Slytherin blood in their family, and his father is evil enough.”
"Hermione, those pure-blood wizards will intermarry with each other. Basically, all pure-blood wizards are related to each other." Ron reminded, "Honestly, I'm not surprised at all that Malfoy has Slytherin blood."
"It's possible, but we have no evidence." Hermione frowned and reminded, "Professors don't...wait, I have an idea."
“What can we do?” they both asked in unison.
"There is a potion that allows us to pretend to be someone else," Hermione said calmly. "Snape mentioned it in class."
"You're talking about the two losers pretending to be Malfoy and asking Malfoy about this." Harry's mind started working quickly and he guessed Hermione's purpose.
“You definitely don’t know how to brew that kind of potion.” Ron frowned and said.
"I have a way to get the formula," Hermione said confidently, "It just requires breaking a lot of school rules."
“Fred and George always say that school rules are meant to be broken, and I think what they say makes sense.” Ron obviously supported this, and he couldn’t wait to grab Malfoy’s tail.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Harry looked at Hermione and asked.
If Albert were here, he might not be able to help but sigh: He really deserves to be Gryffindor!
It’s really just a matter of doing things without thinking.
