Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 637: Harry was speechless

Harry was entering Albert's quarters for the first time. He looked at the Hogwarts genius quarters with wide eyes and curiously, and was surprised to find that it was no different from his own.

If there's any difference, it's probably the cat climbing frame on the wall, and he's seen something similar at Mrs Figg's house next door to Dursley.

Almost forgot, Albert has a very fat cat named... Tom.

Yes, Tom, the same name as Riddle.

The sound of "creak" came from behind, and Harry turned his head to follow the sound, and saw that Albert had just closed the dormitory door with his backhand.

The dormitory fell into a dead silence, and Harry felt his heart beat faster.

"You want to ask me about Hagrid?" Albert asked straight to the point.

"Let me come to you before Hagrid is taken away by the Minister of Magic," Harry admitted honestly.

"If you want to ask if Hagrid is the heir of Slytherin, my answer is: no." Albert probably understood why Hagrid asked Harry to come to him, and he hoped he could explain it to Harry Clearly, I don't want Harry to misunderstand him.

"Fifty years ago, Hagrid was indeed expelled from Hogwarts for the attack, but that attack had nothing to do with Hagrid."

Seeing that Harry seemed to want to say something, Albert raised his hand to interrupt, signaling the other party to listen to him.

"Hagrid was expelled from the school, more because a student was killed in the attack that year, and someone needs to be responsible for this. At that time, Hagrid unfortunately kept a large spider in the cupboard, and he was inside When Del caught it, he let the big spider go, so it's normal for him to take the blame, it can only be blamed on himself."

Harry opened his mouth after listening to Albert, not knowing what to say. He hadn't even thought about the fact that Hagrid was expelled from the school fifty years ago for this reason.

Harry was relieved to learn from Albert that Hagrid was innocent. In fact, Harry was very worried that Hagrid was the real culprit in the attack, and he really didn't know how to face Hagrid by then.

However, Harry was still a little puzzled. Just as he looked up to ask, he met Albert's gaze and moved his head away involuntarily. Looking at Albert's eyes reminded Harry of the uncomfortable feeling of being seen through when he was facing Snape.

"Don't you suspect Hagrid is the murderer?" Albert looked into Harry's eyes and answered all the questions he wanted to ask: "It was because of the attack after Hagrid was driven away. stopped?"

Harry nodded sheepishly.

"Actually, the answer is very simple." Albert sat on the edge of his bed and motioned for Harry to sit down and talk. "You should also see in Riddle's memory that the school is in danger of closing because of the attack. The killer of the attack didn't want the school to close, so..."

"So...?"

"So find someone to memorize the crime, and then stop the attack, and this matter will naturally be over." Albert told Harry the cruel truth, "The Ministry of Magic is now repeating its old tricks. Taking Hagrid away is to let Hagrid take the blame, hoping to quell the attack again.”

"They know Hagrid is innocent, how could they do this." Harry was stunned for a moment after hearing Albert's words, his brain was quickly replaced by a burst of anger.

"Of course they can, if the sacrifice of an unimportant person can put this matter to rest, who cares?" Albert asked, staring into Harry's eyes, "If Malfoy was locked up , you can make the attack subside, would you?"

If Malfoy was locked up, the attack would be quelled, of course Harry would, but as for the truth, sometimes the truth doesn't necessarily matter, but Harry couldn't say it.

"You don't have to try to argue." Albert waved to interrupt Harry, who was hesitant to speak, and continued: "So, Hagrid, who has a criminal record, is locked up again."

"Like fifty years ago, they won't be able to catch the real culprit, and this could lead to the closure of Hogwarts again." Albert smiled eccentrically, "The Ministry of Magic also There will be blame, so the Minister of Magic needs someone to take the blame, or he'll be in the same boat."

"Why?"

"This is politics Harry. Politics is the dirtiest thing in the world, no one." The smile on Albert's face was a bit creepy, making Harry feel inexplicably uneasy, "If one day you stand On the opposite side of the Minister of Magic, you'll see what I mean, and trust me, that day won't be too far away."

Harry is speechless, what is this?

"Is this... a prophecy?"

"You can think so." Albert did not deny it, and continued, "However, don't worry about Hagrid, he won't take the blame again this time."

"Really?" Harry breathed a sigh of relief. He was willing to believe Albert's words, but he could only believe it.

"Whether it's Colin, Nearly Headless Nick, or Hermione all saw the Basilisk, if you notice the expressions on their faces, it shouldn't be hard to guess that." Albert looked at Ha With a dazed expression, Li could only explain: "When the attacked student wakes up, the basilisk will not be hidden."

Harry nodded.

"Hagrid could never have the ability to control a basilisk, I think Hermione should have told you that the only control of a basilisk is... Parseltongue."

"Snake..."

Before Harry's words were finished, Albert was the first to say it. He was in a panic now, and Albert kept finishing his words, leaving him speechless.

"How do you know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk?" Harry asked aloud. In fact, he also thought that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk. It's just that Harry felt that if he didn't say anything, he might be suffocated.

"How are you sure it's a basilisk?"

"Yes." Harry nodded.

"Hagrid's pet spider in the cupboard is a monster called the octopus, and they still live in the Forbidden Forest. They are terrifyingly large. Maybe you heard from Ron. Fred and George were almost eaten by those eight-eyed giant spiders." Albert's tone froze, "Sorry, the topic went off the rails. Hagrid once asked the spider he kept named Aragog, hiding it. What are the monsters in the school. Well, you don't have to doubt, the tarantula can speak human words, and Aragog won't tell the monsters in Hagrid Castle, just like everyone is reluctant to mention the name of the mysterious man , it only revealed that the monster was the spider's natural enemy."

"A spider's natural enemy?" Harry heard Hermione mention it.

"I looked through the materials in the library and found that the monster that the eight-eyed giant spider is afraid of is the basilisk." Albert glanced at Harry and said to himself, "You probably don't know, the spider's The eyes cannot be completely closed, once encountering a basilisk, it will be killed directly by the sight of the basilisk."

Harry feels like he has learned a lot today.

"Hermione once told me that you heard noises that no one else could hear, and you proved to be a Parseltongue, so that sound was a basilisk hiss."

Harry nodded in agreement.

"Everyone knows that the symbol of Slytherin is the snake, and Parseltongue is one of the symbols of Slytherin. If the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets are still alive after a thousand years, then only the Basilisk fits. Although such dark creatures are uncommon."

Harry has nothing to say, Albert's evidence is very good that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, and in fact he thinks that the monster is a basilisk.

"Have you..."

"You want to ask me who the culprit is?"

Harry continued to nod.

He found himself nodding a little more frequently today.

"I can only tell you that this has something to do with the Malfoys." Albert glanced at the wooden door and continued, "Hermione once told me that a house-elf caused you a lot of trouble, It's also like you revealing that the worst things can happen at Hogwarts."

"It's Dobby!"

Harry breathed a sigh of relief that he was finally able to speak.

"Lucius Malfoy kicked Dumbledore out of the school at this time." Albert speculated maliciously, "It must have something to do with him, otherwise he wouldn't waste such a big deal. Do it."

"Also, house-elves are only found in old manors or castles. The Malfoys are rich, and it's not surprising that house-elves are available."

"Malfoy wasn't the murderer, we asked him?" Harry said dryly.

"I didn't say he was the murderer." Albert shook his head and said, "Lucius Malfoy wouldn't let his son do that kind of stupid thing, he should have mastered some way to open the secret room, And what will be done to cause the current attack. As for how? I have some guesses, but I don't plan to tell you, because even if I tell you, you won't believe it."

"How do you know I won't believe it," Harry said stubbornly.

"Alright then!"

Albert simply read closed earplugs, which filled the ears of several people listening outside the door with an indistinguishable buzzing sound, preventing Ginny from hearing the next words, causing her to put Riddle's The diary was thrown away.

"Riddle's diary, didn't you find that diary unusual?" Albert reminded, "I know you once got it, and seeing what happened fifty years ago, I can Let me tell you, it's very difficult for ordinary wizards to do that, especially with diaries. When the diary was stolen, I suspected that the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was in Gryffindor House."

"It's impossible!" Harry was speechless in shock, unable to understand how Albert had come to such a conclusion.

"It was Tom Riddle who caught Hagrid," Albert reminded. "You should know that Tom also didn't want the school to be closed, so he made Hagrid a scapegoat. As long as the killer was caught If they are caught, the school will not have to be closed.”

Harry quickly recalled what he had seen in Riddle's memory, and had to admit that Albert's words made sense.

"Have you found the location of the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry asked.

"I can probably guess where the Chamber of Secrets is. However, it takes Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets." Albert said mysteriously, "If you're curious, you can ask the man who was killed by the Basilisk back then. Students, you can find the entrance to the secret room."

Harry is confused and doesn't understand where Albert is asking him to find someone, and isn't the person dead?

"She came back as a ghost," Albert reminded. "Did you ever suspect that I was the murderer?"

"You are indeed suspicious. After all, you are the only Parseltonian in the school, but I don't think so. If so, Dumbledore would have found out immediately. After all, you are his savior." Bert shook his head and said, "Okay, our conversation is over, remember to keep it a secret for me!"

"Who do you suspect?" Harry demanded, "Do you already know who was responsible for the attack?"

"It doesn't make sense to tell you, because you won't believe it, just like you don't believe what I just said." Albert shrugged: "Go find it yourself, maybe my guess is wrong."

After speaking, Albert walked to the door and opened it suddenly.

On hearing an ouch, a group of people fell to the ground.

Harry stared blankly at the group of people who had fallen to the ground.

"Have you heard enough?"

"Haha, we just..." Fred was racking his brains for an excuse.

"...a little curious," George added.

"I didn't expect you to investigate so many things quietly, and you didn't even want to tell us." Lee Jordan tried to divert Albert's attention~IndoMTL.com~ Did you already know Who did it, why not tell Professor McGonagall? ' asked Ron puzzled.

"Young man, you are too naive." Albert reached out and patted Ron on the shoulder and said, "There is no evidence, it is slander, slander, and even if I say it, you may not be willing to believe it."

"How do you know we don't believe it," Ron retorted.

"If Harry told the Minister of Magic that You-Know-Who was still alive, what do you think his reaction would be?" Albert asked rhetorically after thinking.

"This, he should believe it, Professor Dumbledore also knows..."

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"

Albert interrupted Harry with three typos, "Unless the Minister for Magic brings a group of people to see You-Know-Who is alive, people will just think you're crazy and will happily believe you're a Maniac, you'll soon find out that the Daily Prophet is starting to report that you have a problem with your head as well."

Looking at the stunned Harry, Albert patted him on the shoulder and said, "So, if I go and tell Professor McGonagall who is the real culprit in the attack, do you think Professor McGonagall will believe me, or I feel like I'm just freaked out by the attack, a little bit stimulated, and my head starts to go haywire."

Both Fred and George couldn't help but laugh.

"Everything must be told with evidence, otherwise no one will be able to convince anyone!" Albert shrugged and said, "So, I won't accuse anyone of being the real culprit of the so-called attack in public, it will only make others feel that I'm a biting mad dog."

Harry fell silent.

Will the professors really believe them?

It's hard.
