[HP]Helen Pan

Lester sat on the spot with his eyes slightly squinted. The bright light shone on his face, and there was some reflection, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.But I was stiff all over, and felt the cold sweat on my back in just a moment.

"I……"

I moved my dry lips, trying to say something.But Lester, who was sitting quietly on the chair just now, stood up suddenly. I could hardly see his movements clearly. With some crazy color.For a while, the air seemed to be stagnant, pressing heavily on my shoulders like a real thing, even making it difficult for me to breathe.

"You what?" Lester stared down at me, although there was a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of deterrence.

After a while, he put his hand on his forehead and sneered, then straightened up and pointed to my forehead, "Tell me, Helen, what do you want to know about this?" He put his finger on his lips, as if he was thinking, " Let me see, my little Helen wants to be a hero. Like...uh...Harry Potter!? Yes, like the little furry kid who took down the Dark Lord! Great Helen wants to lead Hogg Watts got out of the biggest predicament since the establishment of the school, she couldn't help solving the mystery of the monster in the secret room, and even killed the giant beast lurking in the dark?!"

"It's not like this..." I lowered my head and shook my head vigorously, but I couldn't say why I was interested in the monster in the secret room.It seemed like all the attention was just because Harry and Hermione were trying to unravel the mystery, and I was thinking the same thing without knowing it.

Yes, I want to protect my friends.

Hermione, Michael, and the other Muggleborn students.

I don't want them to have any surprises, but I can't speak now. These reasons should look pale and ridiculous in Leicester.

What's more, what am I...

My magic is almost pitifully weak, and the heir of Slytherin could probably crush me with his little finger.But I boasted that I would protect them.

Why should I protect them?

Lester ignored my disappointment, but bent down and laughed loudly, "Helen, have you learned the Transfiguration Curse? Haha, no? To be honest, what is the difference between you and a squib? Do you know? I've seen, the most failed wizard in your family! Your uncle Alexis, he was able to master the magic of how to turn dead things into living things before he even entered school. "

I hung my head in embarrassment, and my whole body was trembling because of extreme inferiority complex.

"Helen." After an embarrassing silence, Lester spoke suddenly.

"What?" I tried to keep my voice calm.

"I remember that you were never a troublesome child. So..." He raised his eyebrows, his tone was flat and loose, "Be yourself, and don't think about other things that you shouldn't think about."

I blinked, then nodded, but my heart was a little numb.

When I got back to the dormitory, Hermione was still up, and she lit me with fluorescent lights so I could walk in slowly through the door and sit down on her bed.

"You always come back late recently." She put down the book in her hand and stared at me instead, as if trying to detect something in my expression.

I lay on my back on the bed, staring blankly at the hanging fringed curtains.At the same time, he made an excuse casually, "Well. Professor Lester always asks me to copy books. You know that history books are always smelly and long, and I am so tired that my hands are about to break!" He waved at Hermione matter-of-factly.Hermione paused, then whispered, "You look tired."

"Yeah... I'm exhausted..." I rolled on the bed and buried my face in the pillow.

"By the way..." Hermione suddenly lowered her voice, and she glanced quietly in Ginny's direction. At this moment, Ginny seemed to be fast asleep, even snoring softly.Hermione lifted her own quilt, quickly climbed onto my bed and dug me out of the pillow three or two times, then whispered into my ear, "Harry found clues in that diary .He said Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago."

"How is it possible?" Hearing Hermione's words, Hagrid's silly smile was immediately reflected in my head.Speaking of which, Harry and the others know Hagrid better than I do, so how could they doubt him? !

I couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice, and Hermione covered my mouth quickly.Obviously, she didn't want Ginny, who was just in first grade, to worry about this matter.I could only stare at her with my eyes, and then faltered to express my opinion.

"I know it's unbelievable, but Hagrid was indeed expelled from school that year." Hermione lowered her voice.

"But if Hagrid is really the heir of Slytherin, how can Professor Dumbledore keep him in the school?" I whispered my personal doubts.

Hermione shook her head, and she spread her hands, "We don't want to believe this is true either. So Harry said, if there is no more attack, we will keep this matter a secret forever."

"So, what if it happens again?"

I looked seriously at Hermione's amber eyes, and asked questions almost subconsciously.

What should I do if it happens again?

Are we capable of stopping it?

But if there is a real death, is it still too late?

Hermione might be terrified by my staring, she looked away and said softly, "Harry said that if a similar attack happens again, then we have to talk to Hagrid."

Talk about it? !

I couldn't help laughing, it turned out that I wasn't the only one who was powerless.Maybe, who should we turn to?But who can help us? Almost all the professors in the school are devastated by the secret room incident. It seems that each of us is at a loss and helpless about the future.

Only a few days later, the worst thing imaginable happened.

Just when everyone had relaxed their vigilance and wanted to enjoy a game of Quidditch, the nightmare came.

This day is a rare day in the UK with clear skies, the sky is high, and the breeze blows on people's faces with the fragrance of plants and trees, which almost makes people forget all their troubles.

The Quidditch match was just about to start. Harry and the other players entered the arena, everything was ready, and they waited for the referee to give the signal to start the match.That's when Professor McGonagall stepped onto the competition turf, and she called it off.

I sat on the stand and watched the three disappearing into the crowd from a distance, then I elbowed Michael beside me, "What do you think Professor McGonagall is looking for Harry and Ron?"

"How would I know?" Michael joked, but his expression turned serious, "But I think it must be something bad."

"Crow mouth!" I cursed in a low voice.

"It's my intuition!" Michael argued.

And the fact is that, as Michael said, Hermione and Ravenclaw's prefects were attacked.They were all lying stiffly on the beds in the hospital wing at this moment.

Fortunately, they were merely petrified, and the mandrake used to concoct the antidote would soon mature.

When I returned to the Gryffindor common room again, everyone in the room gathered together and listened to Professor McGonagall's speech in silence.When Professor McGonagall said in a dry voice that Hogwarts might be closing, everyone lowered their heads sadly.Professor McGonagall's back was slightly hunched, and his usual serious and cautious expression was replaced by haggard and sad.This woman who is no longer young seems to have aged ten years overnight.

I didn't visit Hermione because I went to make sure I was in control of my emotions.Harry said that although he didn't think Hagrid did what happened this time, he must know something.So they must go to Hagrid and have a good talk.He asked me if I wanted to come with him, but I said no, I was so exhausted that I just wanted a good night's sleep.

When I got back to the dorm, Ginny was furtively writing something at the desk again.When she heard the sound of my opening the door, she immediately hid the thing in her hand into her bosom, and covered it tightly with the cloak she was wearing.

"What are you writing again?"

I yelled and rushed to her, asking aggressively.

"It's nothing to do with you." Ginny looked at me, eyes flickering, and even her lips trembled.

"Hermione has had an accident! She's lying cold and hard on a bed in the hospital wing!" I stared at her closely, "and I think this has something to do with your anomaly. I want you to put the facts tell me!"

Ginny was at a loss for words for a while, her eyes widened and she hesitated for a long time, then suddenly turned and ran out the door clutching the things in her arms.

"stop!"

I ran after her and pulled her back as she tried to climb out of the common room passage.

"Ugh..." Ginny fell to the ground, sobbing in pain.Her fiery red hair was disheveled over her shoulders, making her look so embarrassed.Ginny lowered her head and didn't stand up, she just sat on the ground silently, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Don't cry!" I quickly squatted down and put my hands on her shoulders, my tone became weaker for a while, "I just want to know the truth..."

"I don't know!" Ginny raised her head, her mouth pursed in grievance, and her green eyes were stained a little red.Her eyes were red, and even the tip of her nose was blushing, and she looked like she was going to cry in the next moment.

"How could you not know?!" I looked at her and said seriously, "Although I don't want to admit it, I think you have time to commit crimes. I have carefully thought about it, and every time a crime occurs, you It happened to be absent. Moreover, that weird diary seems to have something to do with this matter."

"I don't know...I don't know...I really don't know..." Ginny's tone faltered, and she held her head and sobbed softly.

At this moment, the passage door of the common room was opened, and Harry and Ron crawled in through the passage one after the other.Harry stepped into the lounge with a tired expression and a messy body. When he saw Ginny and I, he couldn't help being a little dazed.And when Ginny caught a glimpse of him standing aside, she jumped up from the spot in fright.She lowered her head and hastily wiped away her tears, left an apology softly and ran away quickly.

Ron, who came in from behind, seemed to think that I was embarrassing Ginny.

"You bullied her?" Ron stared at me and said in disbelief.
