Albert was in a good mood after leaving Hagrid's hunting cabin.
Finally arranged for Hagrid!
As for how to prove that Voldemort is the culprit, the natural way is to compare Tom Riddle's name with Voldemort's, and then use the remaining letters to form Tom Riddle's middle name.
Of course, this statement would not convince most people, but the person Albert wanted to convince was Dumbledore. Dumbledore, who knew Tom Riddle, could naturally understand what Albert meant.
Albert was not sure whether solving the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts, finding the real culprit of the attack, and helping Hagrid clear the injustice of fifty years ago would earn him the Special Contribution Award, but by doing these, the tasks on the panel such as "Secret Digger", "Unspeakable Secrets", "Wrong Decision", and "Unjust Accusation" would probably be completed.
As for dealing with the snake monster in the secret room, that was really not his job.
What makes Albert hesitate now is whether to do the "PUBG" mission. Now Tom Riddle's anger may have shifted to Lockhart. The mission is for him to successfully escape the attack. The reward is indeed rich, but he has to risk his life to dance with the basilisk.
It is hard to say whether it is worth risking your life.
Walking back to the castle along the grassy path and through the laughing crowd, Albert couldn't help but sigh: Ignorance is sometimes a kind of happiness. At least one doesn't have to worry about the impending danger.
How many people in Hogwarts School know the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm
Albert pulled the tracking parchment from his pocket and checked Ginny Weasley's location.
When will Tom Riddle strike again
Easter
Albert felt that it was most likely Easter. Since coming to Hogwarts, every Easter had been a restless one.
In the first year, he broke into the Forbidden Forest alone late at night and rescued the Weasley twins.
In the second grade, he teamed up with Isobel to kill Ronald Smith.
When I was in the third grade, I broke through the protection mechanism of the Philosopher's Stone with three roommates.
What about fourth grade
Escaped from the basilisk alone
No.
Albert preferred the plot where he tricked the heir of Slytherin into a corner and finally escaped safely from the basilisk.
“Albert, I finally found you.”
When Albert was about to enter Feifei, a familiar voice called him from not far away.
He looked up at Hermione, who was jogging towards him and a little out of breath, and asked in surprise, "What do you want from me?"
Several girls around cast appraising glances at Hermione, and whispers soon filled the entire corridor.
Hermione glanced at the gossiping girls around her, then retracted her gaze and said to Albert, "I have found some new clues about the last incident. We'd better find a place where no one is around to talk about it. This is not a good place to talk about those things!"
"Oh, you really care about this!" Albert looked at Hermione in surprise and reminded her in a low voice, "But you'd better not run around the castle alone. It's not safe now."
"I have always been careful about my safety." Hermione said affirmatively, holding the mirror given by Albert in her pocket.
While they were talking, the two of them were already walking out of the castle.
"Did you go to see Hagrid just now?" Hermione asked suddenly.
"Well, I'll go tell Hagrid about the recent discovery. You know this matter is related to Hagrid. It has to be investigated anyway, so I'll help him look into the events of fifty years ago." Albert didn't intend to hide it. Hermione was not like Harry and Ron, the two fools. She had a sharp mind, and even if Albert didn't say it, Hermione could guess some things herself.
Hermione asked curiously: "Do you already know who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago?"
"You want to know?" Albert asked.
"Yes!" Hermione nodded.
"Curiosity kills the cat." Albert didn't plan to tell her now. Miss Granger obviously didn't realize that she was in danger. After all, Hermione was petrified by the basilisk in the novel. I don't know if she will encounter the same thing this time.
"Dangerous?" Hermione asked with a blink.
"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Albert changed the subject.
Hermione curled her lips and did not continue to ask, bringing the topic back to the topic. "Remember Harry once said that a student lost his life in the attack fifty years ago."
"Actually, Colin is very lucky. If it weren't for the camera, he would have died." Albert's tone was cold. "You underestimate the threat of the basilisk. That kind of monster can really kill other creatures with its eyes."
"You mean..." Hermione was shocked by Albert's words, "Can the basilisk's eyes really kill people?"
"Remember that sentence in the book?" Albert recited softly, "The basilisk's stare can kill people. Anyone who looks into its eyes will die immediately."
"Colin was petrified simply because he didn't look directly into the basilisk's eyes, so the power of the curse was weakened, causing him to be petrified instead of dying directly."
Hermione fell into a brief silence. She finally understood why Albert was so cautious and why people died fifty years ago.
"I suspect that Moaning Myrtle is the student who was killed for the basilisk's eyes." Hermione expressed her guess, "I suspect that she might be the girl who died on the second floor of the castle..."
Albert made a shushing gesture.
"You knew that a long time ago?" Hermione looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I guessed it." Albert nodded and admitted it directly, "However, I haven't confirmed it yet, and now is not the time to reveal the mystery."
"Why do you say that?"
Hermione was a little confused and didn't understand what this meant. Shouldn't she go and ask Moaning Myrtle and get things clear
Hermione came to see Albert to invite him to go ask Myrtle together.
As for Harry and Ron
Just tell them afterwards.
In Hermione's opinion, Albert was undoubtedly more reliable than the other two.
"I haven't found the heir of Slytherin yet." Albert explained to Hermione, "In fact, Professor Dumbledore knows more about these things than we do. He is also waiting for the heir of Slytherin to reveal his own flaws, and then solve this matter perfectly to ensure that the Chamber of Secrets will not be opened by anyone again, or similar attacks will occur again."
At this moment, an owl flew towards this side and threw an invitation letter tied with a ribbon to Albert.
Hermione looked at the invitation letter with a little surprise, and was a little curious about who would send an invitation letter to Albert, but she refrained from asking for fear of making the other party angry.
Albert put the invitation into his pocket and said to Hermione with a smile, "It's an invitation from an old friend. I hope I can take some time to attend their party during the Easter holidays."
"You're awesome." Hermione admired Albert wholeheartedly. Not all wizards could get along well with those famous wizards.
"You can do it, too," Albert said. "I have a feeling this matter will be resolved before the end of the semester. There's no need for the three of you to get involved."
"What about you?" Hermione asked, frowning.
"I would never put myself in danger," Albert said confidently, and then he turned and walked towards the castle.
