The Harry Potter Show Teaser

Chapter 59 Evidence and Little Detectives
"Hermione, you can see that every dean has taken action, and almost every dean is staring at a few people." Weiss discovered such a scene when he casually looked around after eating in the auditorium.

"Huh? We also have one in our college? Well, Professor McGonagall's target... Colin Creevey? And..." Hermione tried hard to identify Professor McGonagall's gaze.

"Colin? Doesn't he often take pictures of Harry?" Weiss looked at Harry suspiciously.

"Yeah, I heard that he's trying to make a developing potion to turn past photos into magic photos. He might be making potions when he's alone." Harry looked at the little boy helplessly.

"Then he's still taking pictures of you all day?" Weiss was a little curious about the boy's persistence.

"Yeah, and I can meet Professor Lockhart every time recently." Harry recalled, and found that all the photos this year were taken by Lockhart, and his face became darker thinking about it.

"Ginny!" Hermione groaned.

"Huh? What's wrong with Ginny?" Ron asked quickly.

"Professor McGonagall is staring at Ginny!" Hermione said, looking at Wes.

"What! How could it be Ginny! Professor McGonagall must have made a mistake!" Ron was about to stand up and ask Professor McGonagall.

"Ron, don't!" Harry hurriedly grabbed Ron to keep him from moving.

"Wess! It's because of your deduction that Ginny is now under suspicion!" Ron shouted in a low voice.

"Huh? Ginny..."

"Wess! What about this?" Harry said while pressing Ron.

"Harry, let him go. Ron, I'm sure my analysis is correct, you guys accompany me to Hagrid's place." Weiss frowned.

"What? You shouldn't be looking for Professor McGonagall now! Tell her that Ginny would never write those things!" Ron was still growling.

"Tell Professor McGonagall? Tell her what? Professor McGonagall is observing the two of them now because the two of them disappeared during a special time period on Halloween. We now need to understand where Ginny disappeared." Weiss looked at Ron calmly.

"Hmm... Then what are you going to do with Hagrid?" Ron calmed down, but he was still puzzled.

"Do you remember that Ginny came back very late one day? Let's ask if Ginny is at Hagrid's place on Halloween." Weiss said and stood up.

……

"Oh! Ginny! Yes, I saw her nearby one night, and I thought she was going to the Forbidden Forest, so I sent her back." Hagrid said as he poured them tea.

"What about Halloween, Hagrid? Did anything weird happen? Did you see Ginny?" Ron said quickly and eagerly.

"No, that day Professor Dumbledore and I reported that all the roosters in my captivity were about to die, and we planned to let him take a look, and then went to the auditorium to celebrate with the professors." Hagrid slowly recalled the content of the day.

"Rooster? Then did Professor Dumbledore see anything?" Harry asked.

"No, it died cleanly." Hagrid shook his head and continued to ask, "Why are you asking this?"

"We're looking into what happened that night."

"The Chamber of Secrets?" Hagrid's expression changed instantly: "No, these are not your business! It's too dangerous! When the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a student died..." Then he suddenly covered his mouth.

"Back then? A student died?" Hermione frowned, "Do you know that student?"

"No! I don't know!" Hagrid said in a panic, "Don't worry about it, you just asked Ginny what happened to her? The last time I saw her, she looked a little dazed."

"No, we just care about her, but she refuses to say anything to us." Weiss shrugged and replied.

……

"Ginny..." Weiss mused.

"What? Is there any evidence to prove that she is innocent?" Ron looked at Wes eagerly.

"No, do you believe me?" Weiss said, looking at the three of them, waiting for them to nod and continue: "Next, we will divide into several groups, Hermione, the compound potion is handed over to you. Harry, you go and use the four of us. Order the required potion ingredients separately under the individual's name, so that no one can see what we are going to configure. Ron, stay with Ginny and see if you can ask anything. I will go to our protection of magical creatures first The professor's side, by the way, who can lead the way?"

"I'll take you there, it just so happens that it's almost time for my training." Harry looked at the clock tower and said involuntarily.

"Let me take you there, Harry, go to training. I can't make potions today." Hermione looked at Weiss and asked, "Potion material costs?"

"Okay, buy three doses, don't be afraid of failure." Weiss said without thinking.

"Are you sure I'm going to do something bad!?" Hermione's tone was as high as her eyebrows.

"Well, no... Ron, I'll leave Ginny to you." Weiss subdued instantly, turned his head and said to Ron.

"Okay!" said Ron and ran to his sister.

……

"Wes, why did you go to the professor in the Protection of Magical Beasts class?" Hermione asked Wes behind her as she walked through the corridor.

"Remember what Professor Binns said in class?" Weiss didn't answer directly but asked Hermione.

"It is said that before Slytherin left Hogwarts, he built a secret room, and when his heir returned to Hogwarts, he would open it and release the horrible things inside, thus cleaning up Hogwarts. A wizard who is not suitable for learning magic." Hermione summed it up succinctly.

"Well, yes. My teacher Nicolas May's Philosopher's Stone has only part of its magic power left after such a long time. I don't think Slytherin put it in a magic item. A magic item's magic power loss can't last for so long " Weiss used the Philosopher's Stone as an example to show that nothing can beat the magic of 'time'.

"You mean, there might be a magical creature inside? Then what does it eat in the secret room?" Hermione suddenly thought of magical creatures, but felt something was wrong.

"Professor Dumbledore's Fox can apparate, maybe that magical creature can do it too." Weiss used Professor Dumbledore's Fox as an example to prove that magical creatures can learn some special magic.

"Also, last year, the year we just arrived. That thing didn't appear, so I think it should be controllable." Weiss thought about the big commotion they made last year, but nothing appeared. He made a bold guess: "Or it was locked up by someone, and only the heirs of Slytherin can control the switch."

"That shouldn't be Ginny either! She's Gryffindor!" Hermione was amazed by Weiss' deduction.

"Yes, so we just want to find evidence that it's not Ginny. If it's not Ginny, we just need to look at it. That person will leak his feet sooner or later in this situation. Otherwise, I don't believe Professor McGonagall At their level, only two 'problem' students were found. I think they put most of their energy on Slytherin."

"Wes, here we are, I hope it's not Ginny." Hermione said standing in front of an office door.

"Hermione, I have one more sentence, although you definitely don't want to hear it..." Weiss looked at Hermione and considered his tone: "As I said just now, the appearance of the Dark Lord who declared the pure-blood concept last year did not happen either. What, then the problem this year is not the freshmen, that's the only one... And Professor Snape also said in the principal's office that the first-year freshmen can't use that kind of petrification spell, if he is really like him It's so powerful in the book..."

"You mean..." Hermione looked at Wes in horror.

"Well, Gilderoy Lockhart." Weiss knocked on the door without looking at Hermione again.
