Ever since the attack on Halloween Eve, Albert has been on high alert. He doesn't even dare to use the time-turner casually, for fear that he might accidentally run into a basilisk in the corridor one day. Although he knows that the possibility is low, what if it happens
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be safe!
What if you are unlucky enough to run into a basilisk on the way
Although Albert was very confident in the protective glasses made by Nicolas Flamel, he had no idea if they would work without testing. If they couldn't weaken the curse of the basilisk, wouldn't he die on the spot
The rewards for panel tasks are indeed tempting, but your own life is more important!
Albert felt that he needed to stabilize himself first and work hard to develop before fighting the boss.
Of course, Albert wanted to wait until the end of this semester and wait for Harry Potter to successfully save the world. Unfortunately, the situation did not allow that. He had to find a solution as soon as possible, otherwise he might not be able to bear it. No one can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Even Fred, George and Lee Jordan noticed that something was wrong with Albert.
Although they didn't know the reason, they could guess that something must have happened to Albert, which made him so anxious.
Under the questioning of the three people, Albert briefly explained his situation.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan didn't take Albert's remark "I might be targeted by the Heir of Slytherin" as a joke.
After all, Albert is not the kind of person who would seek to attract attention, and his words are particularly accurate.
Even though they knew that they might encounter danger if they acted with Albert, the three of them still went with him and tried their best to prevent Albert from being left alone to avoid being attacked.
In the eyes of the three, the heir of Slytherin attacked Muggle wizards, but they were not Muggle wizards and would not be attacked. This was undoubtedly a good amulet.
At least, that's what Fred, George and Lee Jordan thought.
This idea seemed a little funny to Albert. If Tom really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't care if there were other pure-blood wizards around him. He would just kill them all together.
Up to now, Ginny Weasley has been controlled by Tom, so she doesn't care whether the target of the attack is her own brother or not.
"Hagrid said that the group of giant spiders in the forest knew what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was?" Lee Jordan looked around to make sure that no one was around, and asked in a low voice, "So, the monster in the Chamber of Secrets really exists?"
"Yes. However, this matter must be kept secret for the time being. Don't talk about it. Just keep it to yourself." Albert reminded in a low voice: "If the heir is targeting you, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Lee Jordan suddenly fell silent. He actually knew that many students in the school believed that the professors would soon catch the madman who caused the accident and expel him from the school.
However, the actual situation does not seem to be like this? The guy who can make Albert feel like he is facing a formidable enemy, the so-called monster in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is obviously very dangerous.
"So what are you going to do?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert and asked, "I see you're a bit nervous all day long? Are you trying to catch the heir of Slytherin?"
"Don't be silly. A monster that even the Acromantula fears is enough to prove that the monster is dangerous. I don't want to encounter a monster like that. The best way is to let Dumbledore solve it."
As they were about to turn the corner, the two stopped talking.
Albert had stopped and glanced at the map in his hand. He made sure there was nothing unusual around the corner before moving forward with peace of mind.
"Don't worry, Filch often patrols the area where Mrs. Norris was killed. Do you think the attacker will come again?" Lee Jordan raised his hand and pointed to the chair in the corner. Behind it was the wall with the words "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened" written on it.
Lee Jordan bent down and gently wiped the writing on the wall with his fingers, then turned to Albert and said, "Last time I saw Filch using Mrs. Skoll's All-purpose Magic Cleaner to clean the writing on the wall, but there was no way to remove the writing."
"I dare say that Professor Flitwick only needed a few seconds to completely clean up the writing on the wall, but he didn't do that. There's something strange about this." Albert Stone looked at the words still flashing on the wall and whispered softly, "We must always be vigilant."
"We'd better get out of here." Lee Jordan reminded, "Filch has been in a very bad mood recently. He often finds excuses to put students in detention."
"If it were me, I would have a bad temper too."
"By the way, you didn't bring the cat to school. Did you know this would happen?"
"No, I just predicted that something bad would happen. I remember telling you before." Albert walked towards the auditorium.
At this moment, a scolding voice attracted the attention of the two. It was Percy Weasley. When they walked over, they saw the Gryffindor prefect glaring at his younger brother angrily.
"What are you doing here, looking for clues?" Albert walked over and greeted several people, "What did Myrtle say, does she know who the murderer is?"
"How do you know?" Ron was very surprised.
"Myrtle doesn't know who did it either." Hermione shook her head. "Any news from Hagrid?"
"Well, he doesn't know what the monster in the chamber is either." Albert glanced at the exasperated Percy, "However, the legend of the chamber of secrets should be true. It is said that fifty years ago, the chamber of secrets was opened and a famous Muggle wizard was killed by the monster, so we have to be careful."
"us?"
"Albert was talking about me!" Hermione explained.
"Okay, don't gather here. Everyone else is eating in the hall. If others see you gathering outside the girls' bathroom,
What would you think? And don't do any detective activities anymore, don't you know that it's dangerous? "Percy warned angrily, "If you continue to do this, I will write to Mom, Ron."
"I think Percy is right." Albert agreed with Percy and went to the hall for dinner with Lee Jordan.
"That guy is a bit weird." Ron looked at Albert's back and said to his partner, "Isn't he investigating this himself?"
"That's different," Hermione shook her head.
"What's different?" Harry didn't understand at all.
"Albert is too famous. He is the most famous genius wizard in the school, and he comes from a Muggle family. Naturally, he is very worried about this matter." Hermione explained.
"You mean he's an easy target?"
"I think the Heir of Slytherin is going to be in trouble if he sets his sights on him."
Ron noticed the confused looks from Harry and Hermione, and explained, "Fred and George said Albert is very capable and very smart. When the Slytherin students wanted to make trouble for him, he beat them up severely. And..."
Ron lowered his voice and said, "I heard that in the first grade, Albert dared to go into the forbidden forest alone late at night and saved Fred and George from a bunch of terrible big spiders."
Speaking of the big spider, Hermione suddenly remembered something.
"I just noticed that a group of spiders were desperately trying to escape from the castle. Could this be the reason?" Hermione's mind was very flexible. "Those spiders seemed very scared."
"You think the spider is afraid of the monster in the chamber?"
"I don't know." Hermione shook her head. "I think Albert may have gotten some clues from Hagrid."
"I think he might have already found his target in his head," Ron said suddenly. "Who wants to get all the Squibs and Muggle-borns out of Hogwarts?"
"You mean Malfoy?"
"You also heard him say, 'You're next, Mudbloods!'" Ron said with certainty, "He's a strong suspect. I dare say that even if Malfoy is not the heir of Slytherin, he must know some inside information."
"Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin?" Hermione said doubtfully, "But Albert said that the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts was opened fifty years ago."
"Malfoy's whole family is in Slytherin, and he often brags about it to others." Harry reminded, "It is very likely that there is Slytherin blood in their family. His father is evil enough."
"Hermione, those pure-blood wizards will intermarry. Basically, all pure-blood wizards are related to each other." Ron reminded, "To be honest, I'm not surprised at all that Malfoy has Slytherin blood."
"It's possible, but we have no evidence." Hermione frowned and reminded, "The professors won't... Wait, I have an idea."
"What method?" they asked in unison.
"There is a potion that allows us to disguise ourselves as other people," Hermione said calmly. "Snape mentioned it in class."
"You mean the two lackeys disguised as Malfoy, asking Malfoy about this matter." Harry's mind worked quickly and he guessed Hermione's purpose.
"You certainly can't brew that kind of potion," said Ron, frowning.
"I have a way to get the formula," Hermione said confidently, "but it requires breaking a lot of school rules."
"Fred and George always say that school rules are meant to be broken, and I think they have a point." Ron obviously supported this, and he couldn't wait to catch Malfoy by the tail.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?" Harry looked at Hermione and asked.
If Albert were here, he would probably not be able to help but sigh: Gryffindor indeed!
It's really just a mindless act.
