Harry Potter: The Party of the Orient at Hogwarts

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, what's the matter!" Filch, who was still looking for the cat just now, pushed aside the students who had surrounded the Gryffindor trio.

"Potter, what are you..." Filch walked up to Harry, and looked up to see Mrs. Norris hanging there: "You killed my cat?"

Filch's face was full of shock and anger, as if he was eating melons to join in the fun, only to find out that his house was the one that collapsed.

Facing Filch's questioning, the weak and helpless Harry took a small step back and shook his head: "No, it's not me."

Filch obviously didn't believe it, he grabbed Harry by the collar angrily, and shook him vigorously: "I'm going to kill you!"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Filch, Harry may be the first to find out about Mrs. Norris. He was the first to find out, but it doesn't mean he is the murderer." Jiang Li defended Harry, walking towards Lori On the other side of Mrs. Norris, she pointed to Mrs. Norris and said to Filch, "Look, Mrs. Norris was only petrified, she is not dead, as long as Professor Snape's potion is used, it can be relieved." .”

"No! You're just making excuses for Potter! It must be him, he must have hurt my Mrs. Norris!" Filch growled loudly, as if he didn't believe Jiang Li's words.

"Argus." Dumbledore's voice came from the periphery of the crowd, and the students made way for him.

Dumbledore walked into the middle of the crowd. He saw the blood on the wall and the petrified Mrs. Norris hanging there. He froze for a moment, then quickly reacted, and shouted: "Everyone go back to the dormitory immediately!"

"Except the three of you." Dumbledore pointed to Harry and the three of them.

Ron looked puzzledly at Harry and then at Hermione, and the students around him left the scene of the crime with distrust towards Harry and the others.

It wasn't Harry, Jiang Li knew very well, she walked up to Harry and the others and said to Dumbledore: "Professor, it's not Harry, I know who the murderer is, it's a snake, definitely not Harry."

Dumbledore didn't answer her, but shook his head slightly at her: "You go back to the dormitory first."

"Are you trying to lie to clear Potter's suspicion, a snake? May I ask Miss Jiang, where did that snake go?" Filch squinted his eyes and looked at her with distrust.

To be honest, Jiang Li didn't know where the basilisk went and whether it had returned to the secret room, and that thing would not be killed by the Killing Curse, so it was very difficult to deal with.

Seeing that she was silent, Filch thought she couldn't make it up, and grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the stairs: "Don't try to cover Potter, you should go back to the dormitory now."

Jiang Li was pushed up the stairs by Filch, and the teachers were still discussing this matter, she heard Professor Snape's calm voice.

"Maybe they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Finally, there is still a sober person, but Dumbledore's approach is a bit strange, which will make other students mistakenly think that Harry is the murderer.

She shook her head, planning to go back to the dormitory to rest first, and then go to the office to find him later.

When she walked to the first floor and walked through the hall, a hand stretched out from the side and dragged her into the small space under the stairs.

When she held her wand to his neck, she realized that it was Draco standing in front of her.

His hand was still tightly holding onto Jiang Li's wrist, and his low voice came into Jiang Li's ears: "Do you want to petrify me like you petrified Mrs. Luo Lisi, Li?"

The voice of the boy in the voice-changing period has a unique magnetism, and the slightly rising pitch when he pronounced her name made Jiang Li's heart tremble slightly.

The young man's pale face was full of doubts, his platinum eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was unconcealed worry in his gray-blue eyes.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Draco took a step forward towards her. The space under the stairs was already very small, Jiang Li was forced into a corner by him, and his back could only be pressed against the wall.

"Why you? I saw you there yesterday. The cut finger was for writing." Draco turned his head and whispered in her ear, "Didn't you talk to Potter?" Is it very good, why did you frame him?"

The young man's warm breath brought a faint mint aroma to Jiang Li's ears, and she could clearly feel her heart beating faster and her face getting hotter, it's true, Jiang Li, the moment he got close to the handsome guy, it would shut down.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, stabilized her mind, and looked at Draco steadfastly: "What? Is Mr. Malfoy going to report me? Are you going to tell Dumbledore that I am the murderer?"

Draco was taken aback, and frowned: "That's not what I meant. If I wanted to report, I wouldn't ask you here alone! What's going on? As long as you tell me, I will believe it."

As long as you tell me, I will believe it.

Jiang Li was stunned, and stared blankly at the boy in front of him, only his own reflection in his gray-blue pupils.

"Draco, I accidentally opened Sachara Slytherin's chamber of secrets. There was a huge basilisk in it. It controlled me to write that word on the wall and petrified Filch's Cat." Jiang Li pondered for a moment, told him half of the truth, and concealed the part about Tom. As for the Malfoy family's fear of Voldemort, she felt that talking about Tom would probably scare Draco into a fool.

"Sachara's Chamber of Secrets? And the basilisk? No wonder I looked at you strangely yesterday. It's still at Hogwarts?" Draco looked around vigilantly, as if the basilisk was nearby.

"Draco, I noticed that it moves through a pipe, and you can't look into that monster's eyes. If you see its eyes, you will be petrified like Mrs. Norris!" Jiang Li shared the information he knew with Draco. Ko, hope he doesn't become the next victim.

"It's too dangerous, I have to tell Dumbledore, what is Sachara hiding this snake for? The Enemy of the Successor, I'm afraid he wants to wipe out all the half-bloods and Muggles." Draco lowered his head Muttering to himself, he suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Li, "Then your Muggle friend will be in danger!"

"Why do you suddenly care about Hermione? Don't you hate Muggle-born wizards?"

"I think, if you are controlled to hurt her, you will be very sad when you wake up." Draco looked at her firmly, his voice was soft, but every word fell heavily on her heart.

"Thank you, Draco!" Jiang Li grabbed the hand he was holding her, and kissed Draco's pale cheek lightly.

Then he let go of his arm, smiled at him and said: "I have to go to Dumbledore to talk about it. If it's like you guessed, Draco, you should be safe. Goodbye!"

Draco stared blankly at the back of the girl leaving, until the figure disappeared completely, he woke up like a dream, he looked at the place where the girl was standing just now, and smiled with his lips pursed.
