After leaving Hagrid's hunting lodge, Albert was in a happy mood.
Hagrid was finally arranged!
As for how to prove that Voldemort is the criminal, it is natural to compare the names of Tom Riddle and Voldemort, and then use the remaining letters to form Tom Riddle's middle name.
Of course, this statement will definitely not convince most people, but the person Albert wants to convince is Dumbledore. For Dumbledore, who knows Tom Riddle, he can naturally understand the meaning of Albert's words.
.
Albert didn't know whether solving the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts, uncovering the real culprit of the attack, and helping Hagrid clear up the grievances he had committed fifty years ago would earn him a special contribution award.
With these, the tasks on the panel such as "Secret Digger", "Ultimate Secret", "Wrong Decision", and "Unjust Injustice" can probably be completed.
As for dealing with the basilisk in the secret room, that's really not his thing.
What makes Albert hesitate now is whether to do the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" mission. Now Tom Riddle's anger may have been transferred to Lockhart. The mission is to make him successfully escape the attack.
The rewards are indeed rich, but you have to risk your life to dance with the basilisk.
It’s hard to say whether it’s worth risking your life.
Walking back to the castle along the grassy path and passing through the laughing crowd, Albert couldn't help but sigh in his heart: ignorance can sometimes be a kind of happiness, at least he doesn't have to worry about the upcoming dangers.
How many people in Hogwarts school know about the turbulent undercurrent beneath this calmness?
Albert took out the tracking parchment from his pocket and checked Ginny Weasley's location.
When will Tom Riddle take action again?
Easter?
Albert felt that it was probably Easter. Ever since he came to Hogwarts, Easter had been troubled every year.
When he was in first grade, 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 third grade, I broke through the protective mechanism of the Magic Stone with three roommates.
What about fourth grade?
Escaped from being chased by a basilisk alone?
No.
Albert preferred the scenario where he toyed the heir of Slytherin around and finally escaped safely from the basilisk.
"Albert, I finally found you."
When Albert wanted to fall in love with Feifei, a familiar voice not far away stopped him.
He raised his head and looked at Hermione who was running over, panting, and asked in surprise: "What do you want from me?"
Several girls around her looked at Hermione appraisingly, and whispers soon filled the entire corridor.
Hermione glanced at the gossiping girls around her, then withdrew her gaze and said to Albert: "I found some new clues about the last incident. It's best for us to find a place where no one is around to talk. It's not suitable here.
Talk about those things!”
"Oh, you are very interested!" Albert looked at Hermione in surprise and lowered his voice and reminded, "But you'd better not run around alone in the castle. It's not safe now."
"I always pay attention to my own safety." Hermione said firmly, holding the mirror given by Albert in her pocket.
While they were talking, the two of them were already walking towards the outside of the castle.
"Did you go to see Hagrid just now?" Hermione asked suddenly.
"Well, I'm going to tell Hagrid about the recent discovery. You also know that this matter is related to Hagrid. It needs to be investigated anyway, so I will help him investigate the incident fifty years ago." Albert had no intention of hiding it.
, Hermione is not the two idiots Harry and Ron. She has a sharp mind. Even if Albert doesn't say anything, Hermione can guess something.
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 will kill the cat." Albert had no intention of telling him right now. Miss Granger obviously didn't realize that she was in danger. After all, Hermione was petrified by a basilisk in the novel.
I don’t know if something like that will happen this time.
"Dangerous?" Hermione asked, blinking.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Albert changed the topic.
Hermione curled her lips, did not continue to ask, and brought the topic back. "I still remember that 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 definitely be dead." Albert's tone was very cold, "You guys underestimate the threat of the basilisk. That kind of monster can really be killed with your eyes."
Other living things.”
"You mean..." Hermione was startled by Albert's words, "The eyes of the basilisk can really kill people?"
"Remember that sentence in the book?" Albert recited it softly, "The gaze of the basilisk can also kill people. Anyone who meets its gaze will be killed immediately."
"Colin was petrified, but he did not look directly into the eyes of the basilisk, so the power of the curse was weakened, causing him to be petrified instead of directly losing his life."
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 by the basilisk's eyes." Hermione expressed her guess, "I suspect that she may be the girl who died on the second floor of the castle..."
Albert made a shushing gesture.
"You already knew this?" Hermione looked around and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I guessed it." Albert nodded and admitted directly, "However, I haven't confirmed it yet, and it's not the time to reveal the mystery yet."
"why would you say so?"
Hermione was a little confused and didn't understand what she meant. Shouldn't she ask Moaning Myrtle to clarify the matter?
When Hermione came to see Albert, she invited him to ask Myrtle together.
As for Harry and Ron?
Just tell them later.
In Hermione's opinion, Albert was undoubtedly more reliable than the other two.
"I haven't found the heir of Slytherin yet." Albert explained the reason to Hermione. "In fact, Professor Dumbledore knows these things better than we do. He is also waiting for the heir of Slytherin to reveal his flaws, and then
We must resolve this matter perfectly to ensure that the secret room will not be opened again or similar attacks will occur again."
At this moment, an owl flew towards this direction and threw an invitation 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 the invitation letter to Albert, but she still refrained from asking for fear of making the other party angry.
Albert stuffed the invitation into his pocket and said to Hermione with a smile: "This is an invitation from an old friend. I hope I can find time to attend their party during the Easter holidays."
"You are so amazing." Hermione admired Albert sincerely. Not all wizards could get along well with those famous wizards.
"You can do it too." Albert said, "I have a hunch that this matter will be resolved before the end of the semester. There is no need for you three to get involved anymore."
"What about you?" Hermione asked with a frown.
"I would never put myself in danger." Albert said confidently. After saying that, he turned and walked towards the castle.
