[HP] Night Haze

"The situation in Lihen Bookstore was too flustered at that time. You know, my father and Weasley... that diary was probably lost at that time." Sitting calmly in an inconspicuous corner of the library, Remember that Master Malfoy, who was eavesdropped last time, cast a spell of "close your ears and listen" around him and Angelo.

Their mouths opened and closed, brainstorming for clues in the diary.As soon as people around them approached them, their ears would buzz.This eavesdropping spell was beyond the scope of the second grade, but the older wizards in the upper grades would only look up occasionally when they passed by, without much surprise.Because in order to prevent the bad-tempered librarian Mrs. Pince from driving them out, the wizards of the school used this type of magic from time to time when they talked in places like the library that needed to be quiet.

"There were more than ten Hogwarts students present at the time, and I remember some of them." Angelo held his chin and muttered, "If the two of us complete the list, we may be able to find suspicious objects from it." Can put the diary The people brought to the school could only be teachers or students of Hogwarts. The suspicion of Baron Lockhart was first ruled out by Angelo, and there was only one possibility left.

Angelo took out two pieces of parchment from his schoolbag and handed one of them to Draco.The platinum-haired boy took it without hesitation.What makes Angelo very happy is that after the last unhappiness, Draco still has no barriers against him. No matter what the young master of the Malfoy family is thinking, at least on the surface, they are getting along in a relatively harmonious way. in an atmosphere.

Harry, Ron, the Weasley twins - Angelo wrote on the paper, and he glanced at the boy sitting across from him.Draco quickly wrote a line of letters on the parchment, and then gradually slowed down, raising his eyes and thinking.

"Angelo, Draco! So you are here!" The short and peaceful meeting was quickly interrupted, and Ron rushed in from outside, his face flushed, pulling Harry. "I can't believe you're still sitting here so comfortably, Hagrid...Minister Fudge...he..."

"What happened?" Angelo jumped up from his seat.

"No loud noises in the library, go out if you want to discuss!" The irritable Mrs. Pince came over aggressively before Ron could answer. The boys looked at each other and made eye contact, and cleaned up quickly. He picked up his things, and walked out of the library under the gaze of the emaciated old witch.

As soon as they left the library door, the red-haired boy dragged them downstairs and explained breathlessly: "They want to take Hagrid away—the people from the Ministry of Magic, they think Hagrid is the culprit who caused the school's series of misfortunes .”

"How is this possible!" Angelo exclaimed in disbelief.He knew exactly who the culprit was.

"They think that the monster that attacked the students was raised by Hagrid. Although Hagrid likes to raise some dangerous animals, he doesn't know how...it's definitely not him." Harry blushed anxiously, but he didn't have the confidence to say what he said.No one can guarantee whether he thinks that the monster who attacked the students is just a little guy who made mistakes.

"If another is caught, you will be released with a full apology..." A commanding voice came out as they ran to Hagrid's cabin. Hagrid, the keeper of the Forbidden Forest, was expelled 50 years ago because of the Chamber of Secrets incident. At that time, the monster he secretly raised escaped under the cover of night.

"It's not Azkaban, is it?" Hagrid's hoarse fear made them stop. Angelo peeped in through the open window and found that the person who was talking to Hagrid was Minister of Magic Fudge.

"Where is Azkaban?" Harry asked in a low voice, not understanding.

"A horrible prison." Ron shuddered.

"We have to stop him!"

"Hush, don't make a sound..." Angelo saw Dumbledore glance at their location, apparently having spotted them.

"Someone is coming this way." Draco patted Angelo's shoulder, and a man wrapped in a black cloak was walking slowly in this direction.

The little wizards bent down and walked around to the back of the wooden house, when they heard a heavy knock on the door.

"You've come, Fudge, very good, very good..." The visitor stepped into the hut and said to the Minister of Magic.

"It's my father!" Draco exclaimed in a low voice, his surprised eyes flashed, obviously he didn't know that his father would appear here in advance.

"Things are terrible, Dumbledore. The board of directors think you should be let go." Lucius Malfoy's next words made Ron jump up, and the little wizards held him down together, preventing him from rushing over .

"Here's the pardon—you'll see twelve directors sign it." When Mr. Malfoy said that, the red-haired kid gave Draco a hard look.

"Ron, do you want us all to be discovered?" Angelo whispered in the red-haired boy's ear. He kept an eye on Ron's actions and planned to give him a full-body binding spell if something went wrong.Fortunately, after listening to Angelo's words, Ron calmed down, but his eyes were unwilling.

"You can't take Dumbledore away!"

"Calm down Hagrid, if the board of directors wants me to go, I can give up my seat, Lucius." Dumbledore's calm tone reached the ears of the little wizards. "But only when everyone here betrays me, will I really leave this school."

At this moment, Angelo felt that Youdao's sharp gaze penetrated the thick wood and shot straight at them.He saw Harry nodded firmly, and Draco had a look of confusion on his face.

"Draco, look what your father did!" When the people in the cabin came out one after another, the backs of Dumbledore and Hagrid became a small dot, and Ron, who was let go by them, called to Draco.

"My dad is only one of the twelve directors of the school, and he is just announcing this decision on behalf of the other members of the board." Draco raised his chin and said arrogantly, "There have been accidents with four bitch wizards, and someone has to stand Come out and take responsibility! Otherwise, the school may really be closed... No one wants to see this kind of result, right?"

Ron accepted this statement, and the whole person looked unhappy: "Without Dumbledore, things will only get worse. Dumbledore should not be responsible..." He murmured.But besides Dumbledore, who else could take on this responsibility?With his head, he couldn't think of a second candidate.

The young wizards were back at the castle, and Harry and Ron walked into the hospital wing as they passed by.Angelo didn't go with them to visit Hermione, he gave Draco a wink, and the two returned to the library to continue with the most important thing for them at the moment.

"This is a list of all the students present that I can think of." Sitting in a remote corner of the library, Draco thought about it several times before handing the parchment to Angelo.The blond boy didn't take it immediately, but was distracted for a moment.

"Do you blame me, Angelo?" Draco asked.He knew that his friend was much smarter than Ron, and must have seen through that his father was using this to force Dumbledore to delegate power.The so-called saying that someone has to be responsible for the school is just an excuse.

How will the boy feel about their family's behavior after learning that the inside story of the school chaos is the diary?Is it to tolerate this decisive Slytherin approach, or is it unacceptable and break up?Draco was troubled in his heart, he observed the other person's expression calmly, but to his disappointment, the blond boy recovered from his distracted state, just took his list, apologized and buried himself in the comparison.Didn't pay attention to what he just said.

"It is certain that the person who stole the diary is a Gryffindor, so these names can be ruled out." The boy who focused on the list seriously analyzed, and Draco cursed secretly at this moment. No, my heart suddenly relaxed for some reason.

"These Gryffindors, as long as they find out where they were when the dormitory was stolen, they can catch the rout!" Angelo's bright eyes locked on the people who had shrunk to a small area.Then he heard Ron yelling hastily again.

"What happened?" Angelo frowned, and quickly put away the parchment with the list on it.

"We found this in Hermione's hands!" The red-haired boy held up a torn page, "We already know what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is!" His words caught people's attention.

"Let's go out and talk about it." This time, before Mrs. Pince came, Angelo had consciously walked out of the library.Whether it's the loud noise or the scrap of paper that Ron is holding apparently torn from an old book, it's a librarian's taboo.

Angelo bumped into Ginny at the door, and the red-haired little witch said sorry to him in a panic, and trotted all the way with her book in her arms, like a flustered and shy deer.But the blond boy, anxious to know how close his friends were to the truth, paid her no mind.

"The footsteps..." Draco frowned, thinking about something.

"Basilisk! The one in the secret room is a basilisk!" Ron's breathless words attracted his attention.

The clever Hermione not only deciphered what the monster hidden in the secret room was, but also scrawled the word "pipe" on the page with the introduction of the basilisk.Now the truth about how the strange noises that bothered Harry had made their way through the walls was revealed.

"We have to tell the teacher, this clue is too important! Even if we can't find the heir, finding the basilisk can end this matter!" Ron's words got Harry's approval, but the other two boys hesitated and didn't say anything. .

Get rid of the basilisk, maybe the diary and its holder will disappear for a while in order to avoid the sharp edge, and it will be difficult to find them later.But don’t do this, let the basilisk attack people. Although Vidi said that his life is not in danger, who can guarantee that the accident 50 years ago will not happen again?Angelo was caught between the two sides.

"Let's go, Dumbledore's not here, let's go find Professor McGonagall." Harry said, Angelo looked at Draco, the platinum-haired boy acquiesced to this reasonable proposal, and Angelo could only nod.

You must get the diary back before others find out the location of the secret room.Angelo and Draco exchanged eye contact with information only they could understand.Angelo has always known where the Chamber of Secrets is. If he wants his friends to find it, he can tell them to look for Myrtle in the bathroom. He has an important news from his adoptive mother who works in the Ministry of Magic—Myrtle The mother is the girl who died when the secret room was opened fifty years ago.

Look, what a perfect excuse.But Angelo didn't do that.

Angelo, who had cleared his mind, felt that going to Vice Principal McGonagall's office with his friends was not as scary as he thought, so his steps were no longer solemn and unable to move.

They turned around a corridor and saw Mr. Filch, the administrator. It seemed that something had happened in front of him. Filch drove away two students with terrified expressions on his face.Professor McGonagall, whom they were planning to find, rushed down the stairs at this moment, followed by a girl with tears on her face.

Her bones will remain in the secret room forever——Angelo approached and saw the writing on the wall, which was vigorous yet graceful.This typeface belonged to Tom Riddle, and Angelo felt an anger build up in his chest, clamoring to rush out.He clenched his fists tightly, using the dull pain in his palms to keep himself awake.

"I still think it makes sense to leave the basilisk hunt to the grown-ups, boys." Lord Lockhart's mocking eyes fell on the taped wand Ron was pointing at him.The group of kids had come to his office a few minutes earlier, begging for his help.If it wasn't for the red-haired boy's broken words, he would expel these boys who disrupted his beauty plan as soon as possible.

"Professor McGonagall told us to go back to the dormitory, she didn't listen to us at all!"

"I agree with her approach, Weasley. I feel very sorry about your sister, but it's better for you to stay in the dormitory obediently now, and put down your wand!"

"You're lying, you coward! We all heard you swear to Professor McGonagall that you would deal with the monster who took my sister!" Ron said tremblingly, raising his wand, "But we came to you and wanted to give you clues , but found that you were planning to put on a mask!"

And while listening to them tell the clues, while making a paste-like thing with honey, this is the reason why Ron's last nerve collapsed and he made an impulsive act of pulling out his wand.

"Preparation before the battle is necessary. Who stipulates that you can't finish what you usually do before you deal with the monster?" Baron Lockhart stopped his precious son from trying to snatch it from behind Ron with his eyes. The act of breaking the wand.If this broken wand gets out of control, I don't know what weird magic it will shoot.The experience of being held hostage by students as a teacher is very interesting, he wants to experience it again, maybe a new landmark book will be born again!

"My sister is in danger, but you are here to do this kind of thing... I actually believed you when you said you were going to save her!" Ron screamed, and Baron Lockhart felt a little guilty that his behavior of making the mask seemed to be wrong. Too kind, but this is his favorite thing to do when thinking about problems, which is conducive to broadening his mind.

Well, since we already know the possible location of the secret room, let's skip this step for now.He looked regretfully at the contents of the container... It's a pity that these materials will be unusable in a while.

"Ron, put down the wand." The platinum-haired boy stopped Ron's rough behavior, "Let's talk to Professor McGonagall again!"

"It's useless, she will just call us back to the dormitory!"

"I will also send you back to the dormitory," Baron Lockhart interjected.

"No, you won't, you'll come with us to save Ginny." Ron pointed firmly at the blond man and said to his friends, "Harry, Angelo. Remember how we crushed that man last year?" Is it a conspiracy? How about doing it again this year?" The platinum boy who was about to say something moved in his heart and closed his mouth.

"Oh, I almost forgot what happened last year." Baron Lockhart's blue eyes flashed with excitement, "The legendary experience with the savior... Maybe I can take you on an adventure together. "He was clearly figuring something out.

If it was before, Angelo would definitely stop it, it was too dangerous.But the renewed hatred in the blond boy's heart was clamoring, he couldn't wait to find Riddle himself, how could such a state convince his friends to stay honestly in the dormitory?

As for Lord Lockhart, he's clearly enjoying it now.Angelo thought with black lines all over his face.

A group of them marched into Myrtle's garrison, got clues from the ghost, and soon found a suspicious dragon head engraved with a small snake.

"Open!" said Harry.The others shook their heads.Only then did Angelo think of a very serious problem—Harry is no longer Parseltongue, and he, Angelo, can only understand Parseltongue but cannot speak it.
