Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 627 Be Prepared

  After learning that Hermione had revealed the matter of Riddle's diary to Albert, Harry was expecting Albert to bring them some good news at first. However, more than half a month has passed, and Albert still hasn't moved, as if nothing happened.

   It would be a lie to say that I am not disappointed.

  However, Harry also knew that it was a bit stupid to pin his hopes on others,

Recently, the annual wizard card final is about to start again. Several of Harry's roommates couldn't bear the temptation of the championship reward. They signed up for the wizard card competition, but they were unlucky and were eliminated in the knockout round. up.

   As the organizer, Albert is probably still busy with the competition.

Harry, who had just come out of the library after finishing his homework and was about to return to the Gryffindor common room, saw a translucent figure floating across the end of the corridor, and quickly ran up, before Nick left completely. call the other party.

   "Hey, Nick!"

   "Good afternoon, Harry."

  Nick heard someone calling himself, stepped back from the wall, and greeted Harry with a smile. As soon as he spoke, he withdrew the rest of his body from the solid stone wall, waiting for Harry's next words.

   "Nick, I want to ask you something, okay?"

   "Oh, that's fine." Nearly Headless Nick agreed, "If I knew."

  After hesitating for a moment, Harry asked, "Do you know Tom Riddle?"

   Actually, Harry wanted to ask Nick who opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, but he didn't think he should be in a hurry.

   "Tom Riddle?" Nick repeated the name.

   "That was the name of a certain student fifty years ago." Harry said what he knew.

   "Person's name fifty years ago?"

Nick frowned, then shook his head in confusion and said, "Sorry Harry, I don't know who he is, but I think the name Tom is very common. As far as I know, there are Gryffindor students Got a fat cat named Tom."

  Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

   "Anything else?"

"How much do you know about the legend of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets? It is said that the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, and the culprit was expelled from the school because of this." Although Harry did not expect much from this, But try hard anyway.

   "It did happen," Nick nodded after trying to remember, "It seems that a student died at the time, and finally the then principal took the blame and resigned."

   "Do you know who opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?" Harry asked.

   "I don't know, Harry." Nick shook his head.

   "Hasn't the heir of Slytherin been caught?" said Harry.

"Unfortunately, I don't remember much. It's been too long. If it's not particularly impressive, most ghosts don't remember too much." Nick thought for a long time, but finally didn't think, "Our brains These are usually memories of your own life. However, if you want to know, you can ask Headmaster Dumbledore, maybe he still remembers what happened fifty years ago."

   "Sorry to bother you," said Harry.

"do not worry about it."

   Nick left, leaving Harry alone, staring blankly at the wall where Nick disappeared.

   Just when Harry turned to leave, he saw Ginny Weasley with a slightly pale face.

   "Are you okay?" Harry asked worriedly.

"fine."

   Ginny Weasley's mouth trembled slightly, and she turned and walked away quickly.

   "You don't seem to be okay." Harry murmured as he watched Ginny's disappearing back.

   "Harry, what did you do to Ginny, I saw her just now..." Hermione and Albert appeared at the corner of the corridor, looking at Harry standing there and asked.

   "I don't know what's going on." Harry was also puzzled.

   "You didn't reject Weasley's confession, did you?" Albert joked.

   "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Harry walked away awkwardly.

  Hermione couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Albert, thinking that his joke was a bit too much.

   "How old is Ginny now, how could it be..."

   "Ginny wrote Harry a Valentine's Day card." Albert said solemnly, "I don't think it's hard for you to see that Ginny Weasley actually admires Potter!"

   "How do you know that she wrote a Valentine's Day card to Harry, I remember that day you seemed to..." Hermione was interrupted by Albert before she could finish her sentence.

"His eyes are as green as a freshly pickled toad..." Albert began to recall the song Fred and George sang in the dormitory, "He is as black and handsome as a blackboard...I hope he is mine, he really Very handsome...a warrior who conquered the Dark Lord."

  A moment of astonishment appeared on Hermione's face, and then she looked at Albert with a strange expression, as if hesitating to speak.

   "Do you think anyone other than Ginny Weasley who adores Harry Potter would write him a Valentine's Day card like this?"

  Even Hermione had to admit that Albert's words made sense. Although Harry was the so-called savior, he was not as sought after by girls at school as Albert is now.

  Well, I seem to have written a greeting card to Albert. Thinking of this, Hermione suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly changed the subject and asked: "How is your investigation of Tom Riddle going?"

   "Things can be a little complicated."

   "It's a bit complicated." Hermione also realized that Albert had already found out the results of the investigation.

"Since your secrecy is too bad, it's not suitable to tell you now." Albert has no plans to tell Hermione about Hagrid for the time being, because Hermione will learn about it from Harry soon .

   Well, Albert did do something to Harry.

   It should be said that it changed a little memory in Harry's mind, which helped him discover the secret of the diary.

   "What did you find?" Hermione couldn't help but ask after Albert's words made her heart itch.

   "The Chamber of Secrets incident fifty years ago." Albert lowered his voice, "Tom Riddle captured the heir of Slytherin, and the school gave him a so-called special contribution award in order to silence him."

   "Do you know who the person who opened the secret room fifty years ago?" Hermione couldn't help but widen her eyes. It was hard to believe that Albert was able to investigate so much information in a short period of time.

  He is amazing!

"The unlucky guy who was expelled was just a scapegoat." Albert noticed Hermione staring at him, shook his head and said, "I can't say his name yet, I promised to keep it a secret for him temporarily , I think you should know soon. So, don’t ask anything now, just wait quietly.”

  Hermione suddenly wanted to hit Albert.

   "By the way, this is for you." Albert suddenly took out a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to Hermione.

   "Why do you give me this?" Hermione took the mirror suspiciously, looked it up and down and asked.

   "When passing a corner, if you hear any strange noises, first use a mirror to check the corner of the corridor." Albert cryptically reminded Hermione to be careful of the basilisk.

   "You mean that the heir of Slytherin will continue to attack." Hermione soon realized what Albert meant.

   "Be prepared." Albert shrugged. "After all, we are all Muggle wizards, and we always need to be prepared."
