Hogwarts lazy snake

At this moment, Madam Pomfrey came over and looked at everyone with a frown: "Keep your voices down, Hermione and Harry need to have a good rest, you are only disturbing them here. Leave quickly."

Ron was walking to the infirmary with everyone else, and suddenly he found Hagrid standing there. "Hagrid? What are you doing?" Ron frowned and said as he walked.

Everyone stopped and looked around. Ron looked in the direction where Hagrid disappeared, and soon found Hagrid in a dark corner. Hagrid frowned and muttered in a low voice: "I brought Aragog to the Forbidden Forest. It is so kind. Eleven years ago, it would not have done such a thing as petrifying people. It must not be it."

When Ron heard the words "eleven years ago", his heart was shocked. He immediately thought of the news he had heard in the past few days. It was said that the last time Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened was eleven years ago. Could there be any connection between the two?

"Hagrid, what about that eleven years ago you mentioned? Does it have anything to do with the Chamber of Secrets?" Ron asked impatiently.

Hagrid seemed to be suddenly awakened from his thoughts, realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said. His face changed, and he immediately covered his mouth with his big hand. His eyes were full of panic, and he stammered, "No... Nothing, Ron, you heard it wrong, children shouldn't meddle in these adult affairs."

Ron was very perceptive, and he immediately winked at Neville, who understood. Ron smiled and said to Hagrid, "Hagrid, we haven't been to your place for a long time. Let's go to your place and get together now. We all miss your hut."

Hagrid shook his head repeatedly, looking a little panicked. "No, no, I don't have time now. I still have to prepare the tree for this year's Christmas decorations, which is a big project. We'll get together again in a few days when Hermione and Harry are well. Now you should go back quickly."

Before Ron could ask more, Hagrid had already hurried away, leaving Ron, Neville and Ginny standing there with doubtful looks on their faces.

"Ron, do you think Hagrid is hiding something from us?" Ginny asked.

"Of course there is. What he mentioned about Aragog eleven years ago is too suspicious. Moreover, it coincides with the time when the Chamber of Secrets was last opened. There must be something wrong here." Ron answered seriously.

Neville scratched his head. "So what should we do now? Hagrid won't tell us, and we don't have any clues."

Ron frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "We need to sort out these clues first. While Hermione and Harry are recovering, we will discuss it with Horn."

Meanwhile, in the Slytherin dormitory, Carrow was lying on his bed with an angry and resentful look on his face.

He said to several Slytherin classmates around him: "I must find out who hit me. No matter who it is, I will make them pay the price. I suspect it was those guys from Gryffindor, especially the Weasley family. I will not let it go like this."

"Carlo! There's news! I heard that the witch named Hermione Granger went into the school infirmary. She looked strange, as if she was under some kind of magic. The Weasleys were also in the infirmary. There was something wrong with them."

At this moment, a man suddenly pushed the door open and spoke breathlessly, with excitement and malice flashing in his eyes, as if he had discovered some incredible clue.

Deep in the dark, damp and foul-smelling Knockturn Alley, an abandoned house lies like a giant beast crouching on the ground, emitting a gloomy aura.

Behind the house, a bounty hunter in a tattered cloak was struggling to carry a child with his hands tied.

The cloak was tattered, as if it had experienced countless brutal battles. It was covered with patches and stains, and faintly exuded the residual light of magic and the smell of decay.

"Horn, you're too heavy." The bounty wizard complained in a low voice. Every step he took seemed a little difficult, and his worn boots left a shallow mark on the ground covered with gravel and garbage.

His voice was hoarse and low, as if it had been polished by sandpaper, but in this eerily silent environment, he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

At this moment, the seemingly unconscious child who was carried on his shoulders quietly opened his eyes a little.

Those eyes were like cunning stars twinkling in the darkness, and he suddenly responded in a low voice: "Uncle Gao Ke, be professional and don't get caught."

Although there was helplessness in his words, there was more of a sense of nervousness and vigilance. In this tense atmosphere, the young voice actually had a calmness that was not in line with his age.

Gao Ke's body stiffened slightly when he heard the child's words, and then he muttered softly: "Humph, little devil, you still blame me, I already said, you don't have to come over, your concubine has to come over!"

Gao Ke, who was pretending to be a bounty hunter, moved his ears, and then gently placed Horn on his shoulder on the ground covered with dead branches and leaves.

"Come out if you are here. I have already tied him up for you."

Gao Ke drew out his wand and held it in front of his chest. The tip of the wand emitted a faint green light. He tried his best to imitate the tone of a real bounty wizard, but in his heart he was calculating the other party's intentions.

As Gao Ke finished speaking, a figure in a hooded black robe slowly walked out. The black robe fluttered gently in the dark and damp Knockturn Alley, as if carrying a chill from the abyss.

With every step, the gravel and garbage on the ground made a slight creaking sound, which was particularly harsh in this silent environment and made people feel inexplicably nervous.

The man in black robes came closer, and his voice came out from under his hood, cold and low, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell: "As expected of a bounty hunter, you did a good job this time. I also heard about what happened in Diagon Alley. I didn't expect you to be so bold."

Gao Ke lowered his head slightly and said respectfully, "Sir, this kid is very clever, and there are some wizards from nowhere protecting him. It took me a lot of effort to tie him up. But why did you ask me to capture this child this time? You didn't tell me before that this action almost cost me my life. I think you should give me an explanation so that I can have a clear idea in my mind."

As Gao Ke spoke, he secretly observed the reaction of the man in black robe. He didn't want the other party to see that he was pretending.

The black-robed man sneered, "Humph, there are some things you don't need to know. You just need to complete the mission and get the bounty. The rest of this child's affairs have nothing to do with you. So why are you, a bounty collector, asking about these things?"

Gao Ke frowned slightly and continued to probe: "What's so special about this child? Can't you tell me a little bit? I want to know the value of this child so that I can know what to expect in case of any unexpected events in the future."

He tried to sound curious rather than suspicious.

But the man in black robes threw a money bag to the bounty wizard: "This is the rest of your reward!"

When Gao Ke was about to take the bag, a green light accompanied by a sound of "biting a big melon" pierced through the bag and came towards Gao Ke.
