Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 586: Hermione's Diary (2)

Views:

As the night deepened, Hermione sat at her desk, slowly flipping through her diary. Every time something important happened, she would record them carefully in her diary.

I don't know how much he knew about the Chamber of Secrets, but Albert Anderson was definitely not what he seemed. He was a very magical person.

Hermione picked up the quill and wrote the following in her diary.

In the past, Hermione never understood why so many girls envied Isobel and why the girls at Hogwarts regarded Albert as a popular lover.

Now, she seemed to understand a little.

Hermione still remembered that when she first entered Gryffindor College, she once doubted whether she was really suitable to stay here.

Although the Sorting Hat thought that both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were suitable for her, Hermione ultimately chose Gryffindor House, more because Dumbledore was once a student of Gryffindor.

Hermione, who chose Gryffindor House, encountered many setbacks at first and even had trouble making friends until she met Albert.

From Albert, Hermione learned how to adapt to Gryffindor House.

Later, she made friends with Harry and Ron, and she gradually adapted to Gryffindor House.

I am really lucky.

She put down her quill, rested her chin on her hands, and recalled what happened in Potions class today.

Harry and Ron gave her the opportunity, giving her enough time to break into Snape's office and secretly take away the two ingredients of the Polyjuice Potion.

It is impossible to say that I am not nervous or have no psychological pressure.

Hermione even remembered that Harry and Ron were against the plan at first because they were afraid that they would disrupt the Potions class and be caught by Snape.

Why isn't she worried

But Hermione had her reasons for doing this. She would not allow the Polyjuice Potion to fail.

The Sorting Hat said that she was suitable for Gryffindor House, which was absolutely correct. In some ways, she was obviously more "courageous" than Harry and Ron.

Hermione wanted to laugh when she thought about it now. She certainly knew why Harry and Ron were reluctant to do this.

Snape's office is protected by layers of protection. Even with the use of magic, it is difficult to open it in a short period of time. If the time is prolonged, the plan may fail.

If they were caught by Snape, all three of them would be in big trouble.

However, Hermione is not Harry, let alone Ron. She rarely acts rashly. Since she dares to take risks, she is naturally prepared.

They needed the Polyjuice Potion so badly that it would turn them into Slytherin students? To get Draco Malfoy to tell them who had opened Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

Hermione, remember? Albert once said that Harry's luck was actually very good, and it had always been very good. Maybe, this time they could use Harry's good luck to get some useful information from Malfoy.

A month has passed since the attack, and people are no longer as nervous as they were before. But no one knows what will happen next. The sooner the attack is resolved, the safer everyone will be.

After all, Hermione herself is a wizard born into a Muggle family, and is on the Slytherin heir's target list.

The same goes for Albert. And because he is so famous, he is likely to be the focus of attention. Harry is suspected of being the heir of Slytherin because of what happened last time.

There were too many reasons? Forcing Hermione to succeed, she also hoped that the heir of Slytherin would be caught as soon as possible.

The door of the potion office was easily opened using "Alacho Open", but the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored was sealed by magic? It was not the ordinary anti-Alacho Open that was used? It was an unknown magic.

This doesn't stump Hermione? Or rather, it doesn't stump her because she is well prepared.

Hermione used an ordinary hairpin to easily pry open the door lock of the medicine warehouse.

Albert once told her that many locks in Hogwarts Castle that could not be opened by conventional magic could be easily opened with a hairpin. This was a loophole caused by the wizards' contempt for Muggles.

The plan was perfect. Hermione easily invaded Snape's medicine warehouse and spent a few minutes finding the horns of a bicorn and the skin of an African boomslang among a pile of herbs.

Hermione always kept in mind the appearance of the raw materials of these two compound potions, ensuring that she could find them as soon as possible after breaking into the medicine warehouse.

In fact, everything went smoothly and we were able to get the raw materials smoothly thanks to Albert's help.

After adding the horn of the bicorn and the skin of the African boomslang, the compound potion would be completely completed after waiting for a while, but Hermione did not feel much joy and was still doubting whether the plan was too hasty.

Although they believe that Malfoy is the so-called Slytherin heir, how likely is it

Nobody knows.

Hermione put down her quill again, wondering if it was really safe to rely on Harry's good luck.

As for the so-called heir of Slytherin, she always felt that it would be better to ask Albert instead of Malfoy.

Although she sometimes felt that this idea was strange, Hermione just felt that Albert might know more, perhaps because of divination or other reasons.

So Hermione went to find Albert. When she found him, Albert was walking and whispering with a beautiful red-haired girl.

This scene made Hermione feel inexplicably anxious. She actually wanted to go over and talk to Albert about the Chamber of Secrets, but she didn't know if she would be hated if she went up to disturb them now.

Finally, Hermione went over.

At that moment, Hermione felt like she had mustered up all the courage in her life.

Albert was not unhappy about being disturbed. The red-haired girl just looked at her and walked away with a smile, leaving the two of them space to chat privately.

Hermione immediately shared with him her successful break-in into Snape's office.

Looking back now, Hermione felt like a child trying to show off.

Later, she told Albert her guess about the monster in the secret room.

Albert didn't seem to be too surprised by the basilisk's guess. Had he guessed it long ago

In fact, if you look through those magical creatures carefully, after eliminating the monsters that are related to Slytherin, are the natural enemies of spiders, are large in size, and have a long lifespan, the only creature left is the basilisk.

Hermione flipped through the book and found that basilisks had a very long lifespan.

The basilisk named "Herpo the Mean" is about 900 years old, so if the monster that attacked the students in Hogwarts Castle was really a basilisk, it would not be surprising that it has existed since the construction of the Chamber of Secrets.

Hermione believed that since Albert could think of this, Professor Dumbledore would not be unable to think of it either. But the biggest problem was, how could a basilisk crawl around everywhere

After all, with a basilisk of that size, it was impossible for no one to discover it. Where on earth was it hiding? And where was Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

For thousands of years, people haven't even found the location of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and there are still too many mysteries that remain unsolved.

If the basilisk problem cannot be solved, telling the truth will only cause greater panic!

As for how to protect oneself from the threat of the basilisk, Albert jokingly suggested keeping a rooster with you so that the basilisk would not dare to attack you rashly.

I believe he already has a solution for the basilisk

Hermione wrote at the end of her diary.
