Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 626: Be well prepared

After learning that Hermione had revealed to Albert about Riddle's diary, Harry was initially expecting some good news from Albert. However, more than half a month later, Albert still did not move, as if nothing had happened.

It would be a lie to say not disappointed.

However, Harry also knows that he is a bit stupid to pin his hopes on others,

The annual wizarding 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 wizarding card competition, but they were not very lucky. was brushed off.

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

Harry, who had just finished his homework and came out of the library and was about to return to the Gryffindor common room, saw a translucent figure drifting across the corridor at the end of the hall. Nick stopped him before he left completely.

"Hey Nick!"

"Good afternoon, Harry."

Nick backs away from the wall when he hears someone calling him and greets Harry with a smile. As he spoke, he withdrew the rest of his body from the solid stone wall, waiting for Harry's next words.

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

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

After a moment of hesitation, Harry asked, "Do you know Tom Riddle?"

Actually, Harry wanted to ask Nick who actually opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, but he felt he shouldn't 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.

"A 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 common. As far as I know, Gryffindor students There's a fat cat named Tom in there."

Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Anything else?"

"How much do you know about the legend of Slytherin's secret room? It is said that fifty years ago, Slytherin's secret room was opened, and the culprit was expelled from the school." Although Harry has not reported much on this. expectations, but try anyway.

"It did happen," Nick nodded after trying to recall, "It seems that a student died at the time, and the principal at the time resigned."

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

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

"Isn't the Slytherin heir captured?" Harry said.

"Unfortunately, I don't remember much, it's been too long. Most ghosts don't remember much if they weren't particularly impressive." Nick thought about it for a long time, but in the end he didn't think about it." We usually have our own memories in our heads. But if you want to know, you can ask Headmaster Dumbledore, maybe he remembers what happened fifty years ago."

"Sorry to interrupt," Harry said.

"Don't worry about it."

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

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

"Are you all right?" Harry asked worriedly.

"It's fine."

Ginny Weasley's mouth twitched slightly, then turned quickly and walked away.

"You don't look like you're fine," Harry muttered, looking at Ginny's disappearing back.

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

"I don't know what's going on either." Harry was equally at a loss.

"You probably rejected Weasley's confession," quipped Albert.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first." Harry walked away awkwardly.

Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes at Albert, thinking his joke had gone too far.

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

"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 really admires Potter!"

"How do you know 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 words.

"His eyes were green like a freshly pickled toad..." Albert began to recall a song Fred and George sang in the dorm room, "He was as black as a blackboard...I wish he was me Yes, he's really handsome...a warrior who conquered the Dark Lord."

Hermione's face was stunned for a moment, then looked at Albert with a strange expression, a look of hesitation.

"Do you think anyone other than Ginny Weasley, who admires 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. Hermione suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when she thought of this. She quickly changed the subject and asked, "How did you investigate the Tom Riddle thing?"

"The situation may be a bit complicated."

"It's a bit complicated." Hermione also realized that Albert had found out.

"Now is not the right time to tell you, given your secrecy." Albert did not intend to tell Hermione about Hagrid for the time being, as Hermione would soon learn from Harry about it. matter.

Well, Albert did do something to Harry ~IndoMTL.com~ should say it shuffled a little bit of memory into Harry's mind, which helped him discover the secrets of the diary.

"What did you find?" Hermione couldn't help but asked, tickled by Albert's words.

"The Chamber of Secrets incident fifty years ago." Albert said in a low voice, "Tom Riddle caught the Slytherin heir, and the school gave him a so-called special contribution in order to stop him. Award."

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

He's amazing!

"The unlucky guy who was fired is just a scapegoat." Albert noticed Hermione's staring at him and shook his head, "I can't say his name yet, I promised to temporarily replace it. He's keeping it a secret, and I think you'll find out 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.

"What are you doing for me?" Hermione asked, taking the mirror suspiciously, looking up and down.

"If you hear any strange noises when passing the corner, first use the mirror to check the corner of the corridor." Albert vaguely reminded Hermione to be careful of the basilisk.

"You mean Slytherin's heir will continue to attack." Hermione quickly realized what Albert meant.

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