A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

"Ahem!" Aaron coughed, "What are you doing?"

The three of them trembled, having the illusion that they had been caught for making a mistake. After realizing that it was Aaron's voice, they reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Aaron walking over, Harry asked nervously: "Did you hear a hoarse voice just now?"

Aaron pretended to think for a while, then shook his head, "No, I didn't hear anything."

Harry subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then why are you here?"

"I was planning to go back to the dormitory to sleep. I happened to find that the stairs were full of water stains, so I came here to take a look." Aaron looked at the three of them meaningfully, "That's enough for you. Don't go to the Halloween party. Do this? It's a prank, Filch will be very angry if he finds out."

"This is not a prank." Ron said anxiously.

"Really?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, and then looked at the bloody words on the wall, "The door to the secret room has been opened, enemies of the successor, be careful.

Tsk tsk tsk! The smell of blood is strong, these words were written not long ago.

You were the only ones here when I came, who else could it be if not you? "

"It's really not us." Harry said, "We just came here too."

"Okay, no need to explain, isn't it just one sentence?

Although this prank was a bit bad, it was nothing compared to driving a car to school. "

Aaron didn't think Harry and the others would be bored enough to write in blood, but after all, this was the place where the unknown dangerous creature stayed.

Coupled with the bloody writing on the wall and the water stains on the floor, it might be the so-called first crime scene.

If you want to show yourself perfectly, you can only put yourself into the perspective of ordinary passers-by, and then pretend to be confused.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, as if they could see a cauldron on each other's backs.

"ah..."

Hermione suddenly screamed and pointed to the torch holder on the wall, "What is that?"

The other three people all looked over. A black cat was hung on a bracket. Its whole body was stiff, as if it was under a petrification spell.

But the real situation is definitely more serious than this, because the petrification spell only makes the person who is cursed unable to move, but all senses are still functioning.

But its eyes remained motionless, as if it was really dead, and it was the kind that refused to rest in peace.

"Mrs. Norris, Filch's most cherished cat." Aaron swallowed and cautiously stretched out his hand to sniff the cat. "It's not breathing, but it's in a very strange state. I'm not sure if it's true." died."

After saying that, Aaron looked at the three of them in surprise, "You guys did this too, right?"

The three people immediately shook their heads. Although they didn't like Filch, they wouldn't take it out on a cat and still use such vicious methods.

“I don’t think it was you who did it.

This kind of effect, which is more perverted than the petrification spell, is not something wizards of our age can achieve. "Aaron said, he also had some guesses in his mind.

These eight achievements are the work of the unknown dangerous creature. The writing on the wall may not have been made by it, because Abe guessed that it is not human, but Mrs. Norris's petrification is definitely inseparable from it.

Aaron couldn't help but frowned when he thought of this. The situation might be more complicated than he thought. Someone in Hogwarts might be cooperating with this creature.

"Aaron, what are you thinking about?" Hermione asked.

"I'm thinking I have to leave here as soon as possible." Aaron said bluntly, "I advise you to leave quickly. Staying at the scene of the crime is not a wise choice. Under normal circumstances, you will be regarded as a suspect."

"Should we try to rescue her?" Harry looked at Mrs. Norris unbearably, and his tone of voice was not very sharp.

Aaron looked at him deeply, then gave him a meaningful smile, "Goodbye."

"I think we should listen to him," Ron said.

Harry nodded, but before he could act, low noises and dense footsteps came from both sides of the corridor.

Aaron looked at the dense crowd of people getting closer and closer in front of him, cursed in his mind, and quickly stepped back.

"Why are you back again?"

"Asking knowingly." Aaron rolled his eyes at Ron, "The dinner is over. If I had known better, I shouldn't have wasted my time here."

"Yeah!" Hermione shrugged, somewhat sympathetically, "It's a step too late."

“It’s a little late, but it’s not too bad.

At least compared to you, my level of suspicion is still very low. Aaron said meaningfully.

After a while, both ends of the corridor were crowded with students.

They looked at the four people in the center and Mrs. Lorris who was hanging upside down on the torch holder, and tacitly stopped the joyful sound after the banquet.

"This scene reminds me of Halloween last year." Aaron said speechlessly.

Colin in the crowd saw this scene and couldn't help but pick up the camera, but before he could take a photo, Percy pressed it down silently.

"Aaron, why are you here?" Draco looked at the other three people with a stunned expression, somewhat unbelievable.

"Hey hey hey! Don't think too much.

You forgot what I just said about going back to the dormitory early to sleep, and I only came a few minutes earlier than you.

What I saw was similar to what you saw, except that I wasn’t there. "

When Draco heard this, his face showed surprise.

He first gave Aaron an awkward but polite smile to apologize, then looked at the Slytherin prefect and said: "What Aaron said is true. I can testify, and many people can testify."

"I didn't say I didn't believe him." The Slytherin prefect said, and then waved to Aaron, "Gaius, I don't think you are suitable to stand with them now."

"Prefect is wise." Aaron gave a thumbs up and walked among the students without hesitation.

"Naylor, it's not appropriate for you to do this!" Percy said unhappily.

"We have witnesses." Naylor said nonchalantly, "You also know who I am. I have never favored any Slytherin, but I will not let any Slytherin be wronged."

"Prefect is domineering."

"Come on, I've never seen you compliment me like this before." Naylor said speechlessly, "From last year to now, the most you've seen me do is nod your head."

"This time, that time!" Aaron said with a playful smile.

Harry and others looked at this scene dumbfounded. Aaron took it off right now. It was too childish!

The three people's eyes met, and finally they tacitly focused on Percy.

Percy shook his head in embarrassment, indicating that he was helpless.

It is true that prefects have certain rights, but they cannot use their power for personal gain without reason.

What's more, there are so many people watching here. Unless Harry also has witnesses or has sufficient alibi, he can only deal with business matters.

But the three of them did not attend tonight's banquet. This was a flaw in the first place, let alone that they were at the scene of the crime at this time. Few people would believe it if it was a coincidence.

"Enemies of the Successor, be careful." Draco looked at the bloody words on the wall, and as if he thought of something, he slowly turned his attention to Hermione, "I guess you will be next, Hermione Grant. Jay.

I advise you to be careful. After all, you are a Muggle-born wizard. "

Hermione frowned. She always felt that Draco knew something, but the current situation of the three of them did not allow her to ask clearly.

"What do you mean?" Aaron asked confused.

"you do not know?"

"Should I know?"

Draco smiled coquettishly, but he was relieved when he thought of the special nature of the reclusive family.

"The Chamber of Secrets is a legend in Hogwarts. I heard my father talk about it before, and the professors should also know it."

At this moment, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Aaron's mind, and his expression couldn't help but become weird.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the administrator Filch squeezed in from the middle of the crowd.

"Potter, what are you doing..." Filch stopped abruptly in the middle of his words. He looked at Mrs. Norris who was hanging up in horror and staggered back a few steps.

"Mrs. Norris." Filch's lips trembled slightly and he looked at Harry fiercely and asked, "You killed my cat."

"No, not me, not me." Harry said nervously.

"I'm going to kill you." Filch grabbed Harry's collar and shouted sternly: "I'm going to kill you."

"Argus!"

Dumbledore arrived at the scene in time, followed by a group of college professors, and the students spontaneously gave way.

Filch also let go of his hand and just looked at his cat with an aggrieved look.

Dumbledore was frightened when he saw the bloody writing on the wall, but he quickly calmed down.

"Everyone obey the order and return to the dormitory, everyone, except... you three.

Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger.

Wait, Mr. Gaius, please stay here too. "

Aaron was stunned for a moment, "Professor, I may have heard wrongly. Are you sure you want me to stay too?"

"Sure."

"But I have nothing to do with this matter, it's just a coincidence." Aaron said depressedly, "I have witnesses. I just left the auditorium a few minutes early. Even if I wanted to do this, I wouldn't have time."

"I know, and I didn't doubt you, Mr. Gaius."

"Don't worry, Aaron." Professor Snape stood up, "Principal Dumbledore just wanted to briefly understand what you saw. It's not a big deal, just tell the truth."
