Harry entered Albert's dormitory for the first time. He opened his eyes curiously and looked at the dormitory of Hogwarts genius, and was surprised to find that it was no different from his own dormitory.
If there was any difference, it was probably the cat climbing frame on the wall. He had seen something similar in Mrs. Fegg's house next to Dursley.
I almost forgot, Albert has a fat cat, like...Tom.
Yes, it's Tom, and Riddle has the same name.
The "creak" came from behind, and Harry turned his head to follow the sound and saw Albert just backhand closing the dormitory door.
There was a dead silence in the dormitory, and Harry felt his heart beat faster.
"You want to ask me about Hagrid?" Albert asked straightforwardly.
"Before Hagrid is taken away by the Minister of Magic, let me come to you." Harry admitted honestly.
"If you want to ask if Hagrid is the heir of Slytherin, my answer is: no." Albert probably understands why Hagrid asked Harry to come to him. He hoped he could explain it clearly to Harry. Let Harry misunderstand himself.
"Fifty years ago, Hagrid was indeed expelled from Hogwarts School for the attack, but the attack that year had nothing to do with Hagrid."
Seeing what Harry seemed to want to say, Albert raised his hand and interrupted, beckoning the other party to listen to him.
"Hagrid was expelled from the school more because the attack that year killed a student and someone needs to be responsible for it. At that time, Hagrid unfortunately kept a big spider in the cupboard, and he was caught by Riddle. At the time, he let go of the big spider, so it is normal to let him carry the black pot. This can only be blamed on him."
Harry opened his mouth when he heard Albert's words, not knowing what to say. He had never thought that the truth about Hagrid's expulsion from school 50 years ago was actually due to this reason.
After learning from Albert that Hagrid was innocent, Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. 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 still had some doubts, and just as he looked up to ask, he met Albert's gaze and moved his head involuntarily. Looking at Albert's gaze, Harry reminded Harry that when he was facing Snape, the feeling of being seen through made Harry very uncomfortable.
"Don't you suspect that Hagrid is the murderer?" Albert stared into Harry's eyes and answered all the questions he wanted to ask: "Is it because the attack stopped after Hagrid was driven away? "
Harry nodded foolishly.
"Actually, the answer is simple." Albert sat down on the edge of his bed and motioned for Harry to sit down and talk. "You should have seen it in Riddle's memory. Because of the attack, the school is facing a crisis of closure. The murderer of the attack did not want the school to close, so..."
"and so?"
"So find someone to memorize all the crimes, and then stop the attack, this matter will naturally go away." Albert told Harry the cruel truth, "The Ministry of Magic is now taking the same old tricks and taking away the sea. Grid just wants Hagrid to bear the blame, hoping to quell the attack once again."
"They know that Hagrid is innocent, how could they do that." Harry was shocked for a moment when he heard Albert's words, and his brain was quickly replaced by anger.
"Of course they can. If they sacrifice an insignificant person and let the matter go down, who cares?" Albert stared into Harry's eyes and asked, "If you lock up Malfoy, you can Would you like to let the attack quell?"
If Malfoy is locked up, the attack can be quelled. Of course Harry is willing. As for the truth, sometimes the truth is not necessarily important, but Harry can't say it.
"You don't have to try to quibble." Albert waved his hand to interrupt Harry, who had stopped talking, and continued: "So, Hagrid, who has a criminal record, is locked up again."
"Like fifty years ago, they could not catch the real culprit, and this consequence may lead to the closure of Hogwarts School." Albert gave a weird smile, "The Ministry of Magic will also be blamed. , So the Minister of Magic needs someone to carry this black pot, otherwise he will be unlucky with it."
"why?"
"This is politics Harry. Politics is the dirtiest thing in the world. There is no one." The smile on Albert's face was a bit irritating, making Harry feel inexplicably uneasy, "If one day you stand at the Minister of Magic You will understand what I mean, trust me, this day will not be too far away."
Harry was a little speechless, what is this?
"Is this... a prophecy?"
"You can think so." Albert didn't deny it, and continued, "However, don't worry about Hagrid's affairs. He won't be in the wrong again this time."
"Really?" Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was willing to believe what Albert said, and he could only believe it.
"Whether it's Colin, Nick who is almost headless, or Hermione has seen the basilisk, if you notice the expression on their faces, it shouldn't be difficult to guess this." Albert looked at Harry blankly. The expression, I had to explain: "When the assaulted student wakes up, the basilisk can't be kept secret."
Harry nodded.
"Hagrid would never have the ability to control a basilisk. I think Hermione should have told you that the only one who controls the basilisk is...the basilisk."
"snake"
Before Harry could finish his words, Albert gave him the first words. He was panicking now, Albert kept saying everything, leaving him speechless.
"How are you sure that the monster in the secret room is the basilisk?" Harry asked loudly. In fact, he also thinks that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk. However, Harry felt that if he didn't say anything, he might be stunned.
"How can I be sure it is a basilisk?"
"Yes." Harry nodded.
"The pet spider that Hagrid keeps in the cupboard is a monster called the eight-eyed giant spider. They still live in the forbidden forest. They are large and scary. Maybe you have heard of Ron. Back then, Fred And George was almost eaten by those eight-eyed giant spiders." Albert said in a tone, "Sorry, the topic went off the track. Hagrid once asked him about the spider called Aragok, hiding in the school. What's the monster in the world. Well, you don't have to doubt that the eight-eyed giant spider can speak human words. Aragok refuses to tell what the monster in Hagrid's castle is, just like everyone is reluctant to mention the name of the mysterious person. Reveal that the monster is a natural enemy of spiders."
"The spider's natural enemy?" Harry heard Hermione mention it.
"I looked through the information 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 that spider eyes cannot If you close it completely, once you encounter a basilisk, you will be killed directly by the basilisk's gaze."
Harry felt that he had gained insights again today.
"Hermione once told me that you heard a voice that no one else could hear, and you were proven to be a snake-like voice, so that voice was the hiss of a basilisk."
Harry nodded in agreement.
"Everyone knows that the symbol of Slytherin is the snake, and the snake tongue is one of the symbols of Slytherin. If the monster in the secret room is still alive after a thousand years, then only the basilisk conforms to it. Dark creatures are not common."
Harry had nothing to say, Albert's evidence proved that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk. In fact, he also believed that the monster was a basilisk.
"Are you already..."
"You want to ask me who the prisoner is?"
Harry continued to nod.
He found that he nodded a bit more frequently today.
"I can only tell you that this matter has something to do with the Malfoys." Albert glanced at the wooden door and continued: "Hermione once told me that a house elf caused a lot of trouble for you. It looks like You revealed that the worst things will happen at Hogwarts."
"It's Dobby!"
Harry couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally able to speak.
"Lucius Malfoy drove Dumbledore away from the school at this time." Albert speculated maliciously, "This matter must be related to him, otherwise he would not give up so much energy to do so. ."
"Furthermore, house elves are only available in old manor houses or castles. The Malfoy family is very rich. It is not strange to have house elves to serve them."
"Malfoy is not the murderer, did we ask him?" Harry said dryly.
"I didn't say he was the murderer." Albert shook his head and said, "Lucius Malfoy would not let his son do that kind of stupid thing. He should have mastered some way to open the secret room and will do it. What caused the current attack. As for the way? I have some guesses, but I didn't intend 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.
"OK then!"
Albert directly read a closed earplug to listen, filling the ears of a few people who were eavesdropping outside the door with an unrecognizable hum, avoiding the next words from being heard by Ginny, causing her to give Riddle's diary directly threw.
"Riddle's diary, don't you find that diary is unusual?" Albert reminded, "I know you got it and saw what happened fifty years ago, I can tell you, It is difficult for ordinary wizards to achieve that level, especially when using diaries. When the diaries were stolen, I suspected that the person who opened the chamber was in Gryffindor College."
"It's impossible!" Harry was speechless in shock, he couldn't understand how Albert came to such a conclusion.
"Back then, Tom Riddle caught Hagrid." Albert reminded, "You should know that Tom also didn't want the school to be closed, so he took Hagrid as a scapegoat. As long as the murderer is caught, the school You don't need to be closed."
Harry quickly recalled what he saw in Riddle's memory, and had to admit that Albert's words made sense.
"Have you found the location of the secret room?" Harry asked.
"I probably guessed where the secret room is. However, to open the secret room you need a snake-like voice." Albert said mysteriously, "If you are curious, you can ask the student who was killed by the basilisk. I can find the entrance to the secret room."
Harry was at a loss. He didn't understand where Albert wanted him to find someone, and didn't the person die?
"She came back as a ghost," Albert reminded. "Have you ever suspected that I was the murderer?"
"You are really suspicious. After all, you are the only one in the school who is a snake-like voice, but I don't think it should be. If it is, Dumbledore guesses it will be discovered immediately. After all, you are his savior." Albert shook his head. Said: "Well, our conversation is over, remember to keep it secret for me!"
"Who do you suspect?" Harry asked, "Do you already know who is responsible for the attack?"
"It doesn't make sense to tell you, because you won't believe it, just like you didn't believe what I said just now." Albert shrugged: "Go find it yourself, maybe my guess is wrong."
After speaking, Albert walked to the door and opened it suddenly.
Just 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 wringing his brains for excuses.
"...A bit curious." George added.
"Unexpectedly, you guy investigated so many things without saying a word, and you didn't want to tell us." Li Jordan tried to divert Albert's attention.
"Did you already know who did it? Why didn't you tell Professor McGonagall?" Ron asked puzzled.
"Young man, you are too naive." Albert stretched out his hand and patted Ron on the shoulder and said, "There is no evidence. That is slander and 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 the mysterious man is still alive, how do you think he would react?" Albert thought for a while and asked back.
"He should believe this, and Professor Dumbledore also knows..."
"Wrong wrong wrong!"
Albert interrupted Harry by saying three typos in a row, UU reading www.uukanshu. com "Unless the Minister of Magic takes a group of people to see the mysterious man alive, everyone will think you are crazy, and they will be happy to believe that you are a lunatic. You will soon find that the Daily Prophet has also begun to report on you. There is a problem with the head."
Looking at Harry who was dumbfounded, Albert patted him on the shoulder and said: "So, if I go to tell Professor McGonagall who is the real culprit in the attack, do you think Professor McGonagall will believe me, or think I am just I was frightened by the attack, I was stimulated a little, and my mind started to appear confused."
Both Fred and George couldn't help laughing.
"Evidence must be told in everything, otherwise no one can convince anyone!" Albert shrugged and said, "So, I will not publicly accuse who is the real culprit of the so-called attack. Crazy dog biting people."
Harry was silent.
Do the professors really believe them?
Difficult.
