The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Harry didn't care about their banter, "It's okay, Ron, Fred and George just think this rumor is ridiculous."

George smiled and said, "The heir of Slytherin has been busy doing homework recently. He hasn't gone to the secret room to have afternoon tea with his servants for a long time."

"Who are you going to attack next?" Fred picked up an onion cut in half to serve as garlic and put his feet on his chair as if holding a shield. "I will do my best to stop your most evil deeds." s attack."

"It's not funny at all, Fred! You guys are just too much!" Ron knocked the onion shield off his hand with his chicken leg sword.

The elves wiped the dishes and watched the fun.

Bernie was still secretly glancing at the homework papers brought by Eugenie, pretending to be watching the excitement, supporting his head with his hands, shaking his legs from time to time to hide his guilt, and trying to avoid the reproachful glances she cast intentionally or unintentionally.

Eugenie glanced at him again and then said to Harry, "I have heard some rumors. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Parseltongue. It is just a unique magical ability. Whether it is good or bad depends on how you use it." What did it do?"

"I stopped a snake from attacking and stopped it from biting off Justin's head." Harry said with great certainty, but his doubts were not eliminated.

Ron added, "He also heard from a python that it had never been to Brazil, which was too bad."

Eugenie nodded to his surprise, "It's very interesting. You can chat with snakes when you're bored."

Ron opened his mouth wide and said in a weak voice, "This means Harry may really be Salazar Slytherin's great-great-great-grandson or something."

Eugenie spread her hands and looked at Harry's confused expression, "If you really take this matter very seriously, or intend to change your name to Harry Slytherin, I suggest inviting a genealogist to investigate it for you. Origin of bloodline——"

Harry: "...No, I don't want to at all."

What if the investigation result is really true?

How should he accept this result.

"No, I belong to Gryffindor. If I were the heir of Slytherin, the Sorting Hat wouldn't..." Harry hesitated. He clearly remembered that the Sorting Hat once told him that Slytherin would help. He went to glory.

"The Sorting Hat's decision has nothing to do with blood. There are people in my family who studied in other houses. Besides, it doesn't matter if you are a descendant of Slytherin. As long as you didn't open the Chamber of Secrets - have you found anything now? ?”

After Easter, there was not much left in the semester. Eugenie couldn't help but want to push forward the progress. She was busy studying alchemy equipment and summarizing the production process of potions every day. At this time, it was quite annoying to have a big mouse at home.

I have to deliver food every few days to ensure that it can continue to live. Every time I go there, I feel bad.

I really want to send it to the dementors as neighbors as soon as possible.

According to Dumbledore's wishes, he would start clearing Sirius's name after the Chamber of Secrets issue was resolved.

Professor Snape was not willing to pay attention to this matter at all. Whether Sirius was acquitted or not had nothing to do with him, as long as the rat lived a miserable life in the solitary room.

"A strange diary. The monster in the secret room is probably - you know someone in the school likes those very dangerous creatures. Maybe he accidentally let that thing escape."

Harry said it politely, but the person he mentioned as liking dangerous creatures was obviously Hagrid.

Harry hadn't paid attention to this diary for probably more than a week. He put it in a drawer in his dormitory.

Ron took a sip of pumpkin juice nonchalantly. As soon as he finished drinking it, he wanted to speak, but choked himself and coughed repeatedly, "Only one cat was affected, and it wasn't a lovable cat. I think the monster was probably killed." , or it was taken back by the so-called heir of Slytherin and kept under good care."

Eugenie tapped her fingers on the table, "I heard that there were several lines of blood written on the wall. If it was just a dangerous pet that went missing and hurt people, how should we explain those words?"

Harry also expressed doubts that Hagrid was the suspect who opened the Chamber of Secrets, but he felt it would be rude to ask directly. "Hermione is still looking for a matching monster species. The diary records that when the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, The monster I saw moved very fast, was covered in hair, was black, had many eyes, and had two sharp edges on its mouth—"

"Stop talking, it sounds like a spider." Ron wrapped his robe tightly and shivered.

"Is the monster you're talking about like this?" Fred made the plate grow many black and hairy spider legs and many bright eyes.

Ron let out a yelp.

Eugenie subconsciously tightened her wand, wanting to smash the plate covered with spider legs into pieces.

Bernie looked at those legs with great interest, and even wanted to touch them, but after catching a glimpse of Eugenie's aggressive eyes, he retracted his hand that was about to move, and awkwardly grabbed the tie, which was already loose. The tie hanging crookedly around his neck was even more outrageous.

"It was running very fast and I couldn't see it clearly, but it was probably a spider." Harry recalled.

Eugenie put down her wand. "I thought you would surmise it was a snake."

"We did make a guess, but what appeared in the diary was a hairy monster. After that monster was driven away, there were no more attacks. It can't be such a coincidence."

Maybe Hagrid keeps more than one kind of monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

Dangerous snakes and dangerous spiders, Hagrid likes anything dangerous.

Ron said, "But Hermione is still looking for it in the Snake Book."

Eugenie crossed her arms, "Why don't you ask me?"

"But you weren't in school the only time the monster showed up?"

"I'm not here, Professor Flitwick is!"

Harry looked at Ron, and the two exchanged glances.They really didn't think about asking the professor or the teacher if they had questions. That was Hermione's style. Their first reaction was to think of a solution in private.

"You asked!" Harry said happily.

Eugenie nodded slightly, "Yes, that's some kind of snake - and it's not a strange snake covered in black hair that looks like a spider."

Ron tried his best to stay away from his good brothers, "Merlin's Beard, how many monsters can this damn place hold?"

Even worse were the spiders.

If it was a snake that killed people 50 years ago, but after driving away the spiders, the snakes also disappeared, then - they are accomplices!

Now that the snake has appeared, it is likely to be injured or dead. Will its accomplice the spider break away from Hagrid's control and run into the castle again to hurt people...

"Quick, let's go find Hagrid and find out." Ron took Harry's arm.
