Peeves frightened me, and I felt like I was going to kill myself somewhere, only to realize I was dead when I came back. "

Aaron nodded, without saying a word, he led Abe to the door.

"Is he angry?"

The three looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They don't know whether Aaron is angry or not, but if a ghost sees him, anyone will run away!

Seeing that the three were silent and not speaking, Myrtle let out a sob of grief thoughtfully, and dived headfirst into a water tank, splashing a large amount of water.

Chapter 158 The Pseudo-Heir Five Years Ago

Gryffindor common room.

Harry and Ron were preparing homework for the History of Magic class, while Hermione, the top student who had finished her homework, was a little absent-minded.

"Who could it be?" Hermione frowned. "Who wants to keep Squibs and Muggle-borns out of Hogwarts?"

"Think about it, who is the person who despises Muggle-born the most?" Ron looked at Hermione and smiled meaningfully: "I think you already have the answer."

"It's not Malfoy, is it?"

"Of course it is him." Ron said seriously, "First of all, I want to explain that this has nothing to do with personal grievances.

As far as I know, the Malfoy family has been Slytherin for centuries. You saw it when they were sorted last year. The Sorting Hat shouted out Slytherin before the Sorting Hat was put on his head. Doesn’t this prove that what?

You have also met his father, Lucius, at Lihen Bookstore, let alone Muggles, he even looks down on wizards who mix with Muggles. "

Hermione nodded blankly, and said with some doubts: "It seems to make sense."

"What is it like?" Ron was a little dissatisfied, "Their family must have the key to the secret room, and it has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries."

"That..." Harry looked at the two of them, hesitating for a few seconds, "Do you think it might be Gaius?"

"That's impossible." Hermione resolutely denied this speculation, and said sullenly, "Harry, you know what kind of person Aaron is. He absolutely cannot be the heir of Slytherin."

"Maybe Harry's guess is right." Ron mused thoughtfully, "Compared to Malfoy, he is more like the heir of Slytherin."

"Why do you say that?" Hermione frowned. "He's different from other Slytherins. Last year he managed to save us once."

"Don't be mad, Hermione.

I'm just talking about the facts, many professors and even Headmaster Dumbledore said that he has all the qualities of Slytherin.

Ambition, shrewdness, respect for honor, judging the situation, judging oneself, winning first, etc., he is the representative of Slytherin, and many people think so.

Moreover, the wizard blood of the Gaius family is very pure, at least dating back thousands of years. "

"You can't envy and hate someone just because of their excellence." Hermione said speechlessly.

Ron rolled his eyes and turned to look at Harry, "What do you think?"

Harry looked at the two of them, and opened his mouth hesitantly, "I didn't suspect him for no reason.

First, on Halloween, he showed up at the crime scene after us.

The three of us were not in the auditorium because we were attending Nick's death anniversary banquet. I heard a strange voice and led you to that corridor.

But as soon as our front feet arrived, he came over with his back feet. "

"It's just a coincidence." Hermione didn't take it seriously, "He also said he was going back to the dormitory."

"But it's such a coincidence!

Why must it be him?Must it be Slytherin? asked Harry, "and he was alone at the time, no one can prove when he was there, maybe before us." "

"Even if this is a coincidence, then what?

We went to the scene of the crime, and he went too, and found those strange spiders after a while.

Also, he didn't seem to care much about Myrtle's answer.

Once was a coincidence, but it is a bit unreasonable to be a coincidence twice. "

"Look!" Ron shrugged at Hermione, "The suspicion just came up."

"Maybe it's a coincidence both times?" Hermione said with some uncertainty, "Besides, his purpose of going to the crime scene may be the same as ours."

"It may also be cleaning up the evidence left behind by accident." Ron said calmly, "It's always written like this in detective novels."

"I still can't believe that Aaron never looked down on half-blood and Muggle-born wizards.

He also didn't know that Filch was a Squib and had no reason to harm Mrs. Norris. "

Harry and Ron looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

"I don't want to doubt him either." Harry said in a low voice, "but it's mainly because of too many coincidences. Besides Malfoy, he is the most suspicious."

Ron nodded, he thought the same, and he added an extra reason to Aaron in his heart.

Aaron has a good relationship with Malfoy, who despises mixed races and Muggle-borns. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. This is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Hermione chuckled, "I don't believe it's him, anyway."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, they were just guessing, there was no way to prove it.

"Let's put this question aside, we don't need to waste time on unrealistic guesses." Harry sighed slightly, "Let's check from other directions!"

Meanwhile, the Slytherin common room.

Aaron sneezed several times in a row in his dormitory, but he didn't take it seriously.

After all, he is only 12 years old. Although his physique is far superior to that of an adult, it does not mean that he will not catch a cold in November.

Opening the notebook, Aaron looked at the clues he had integrated, and thought for a while.

He turned over this page, tore off the blank paper at the back, and laid it on the wall.

Then use the magic wand to move the clues in the notebook to the blank paper, making a simple wall of clues with words but no pictures.

"There are currently two clues that can be investigated.

One is the identity of the heir, and the other is the identity of the monster in the secret room. "Aaron touched his chin, his brain running rapidly.

It is not easy to check the heirs, first of all the new students.

That's a lot of people, but every one is possible.

And the other party will not easily show his flaws. How dare you open the secret room at the age of 11 and let the monsters inside go out to commit murder?

However, the student who was expelled 50 years ago can be checked, but the difficulty is not small.

Fifty years ago, the time span was too large, and the professors at the school might not know anything. It is estimated that no one except the principal Dumbledore knew about that period of history.

But Aaron didn't want to deal with Dumbledore. The old man seemed kind and amiable, and he was a competent headmaster in the eyes of most students.

But I don't know why, every time I see him, Aaron feels that the other party has deep thoughts, and I feel like I will be sold out by him if I am not careful.

Thinking of the depth in Dumbledore's eyes, Aaron shuddered suddenly, and immediately turned his thoughts to the identity of the monster.

A magical animal with terrifying petrification ability. It existed in the era of Salazar Slytherin. It has an extremely long lifespan. It may be the natural enemy of spiders...

call!

Aaron let out a long breath. With these clues, it is really not too difficult to determine the identity of the other party.

After class the next day, Aaron took Abbe outside the castle.

When they came to Hagrid's cabin, Abe, who was in his arms, turned his face away with some reluctance.

"Let's go! He is the only one who knows about magical animals in this school!" Aaron said and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Hagrid opened the door, surprised to see Aaron.

"This is such a rarity!

Why did you think of coming to my place? Could it be that Abe is sick? "

"Can't you think of something better?

The dragon cub in my family is in good health, and it tastes delicious. Aaron rolled his eyes at him angrily, walked into the room and found a place to sit down, "I came here on purpose this time because I have some questions, and you are probably the only one in Hogwarts who can give me the answers." "

Hearing this, Hagrid raised his brows slightly, his bushy beard trembled, and his inner complacency was undoubtedly revealed.

"Tell me first, but I can't guarantee that I can answer it."

"It's about the secret room." Aaron said lightly, "I found out..."

Aaron stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech, because Hagrid, who was sitting across from him, trembled slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a panic.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay." Hagrid squeezed out a bitter smile and forced a smile, "I'm fine."

"You don't look like you're okay.

I'm just asking some questions, don't be nervous. Aaron tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, "Hagrid, I found some clues to the Chamber of Secrets." "

"Really?" Hagrid was a little uneasy, "What did you find?"

"A lot, the identity of the heir..."

"It's not me, it's really not me." Hagrid stood up excitedly, "I was wronged, I'm really not the heir of Slytherin."

"I didn't say it was you!" Aaron laughed, but at this moment he seemed to think of something, and his expression changed slightly.

According to the clues provided by Draco, the person who opened the secret room 50 years ago was fired, and Hagrid seemed to be a forest guard after being fired.

Fifty years is nothing to a giant, and it matches his current appearance.

Gollum!

Aaron swallowed, and asked nervously, "You're not the wizard who was expelled 50 years ago, are you?"

"But I was really wronged." Hagrid looked slumped, his eyes squeezed together in aggrieved way, "But at that time, almost no one believed me.

If it wasn't for Dumbledore's protection, coupled with the lack of evidence, it is estimated that I will have been imprisoned in Azkaban forever. "

"It's very pitiful, but I would like to believe you."

"You believe me?"

"Of course." Aaron nodded seriously.

Rubeus Hagrid is the heir of Slytherin, are you kidding me?

It's too far-fetched that Salazar Slytherin would find a normal wizard, not a giant, even if he lowered his standards for the heir.

Moreover, Hagrid's mouth didn't hold the door. To be honest, it was a bit too much, and it had nothing to do with Slytherin at all.

"Okay, let's get back to business, what I want to ask you is do you know the identity of the monster in the secret room?"

"I don't know." Hagrid said apologetically.

"Of course I know you don't know, but I have a clue, and I may be able to analyze it." The old god Aaron said, "The magical animal has the ability to petrify and has an extremely long lifespan. It may be the natural enemy of spiders."

Chapter 159 The Identity of the Monster, the Basilisk

After hearing Aaron's clue, Hagrid shook his head in surprise, "Sorry, I don't know."

"What are you kidding?

No one in Hogwarts knows more about Fantastic Beasts than you. "

"That's what I said, but..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "This is only relative.

I am very familiar with the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, but the magic world is huge, and there are countless types of magical creatures, which cannot be accommodated in a single Forbidden Forest.

To give a simple example, there are no fire dragons, thunderbirds, phoenixes, or unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.

I have been a forest warden for nearly 50 years, and my vision is a little wider than this forest, but even so, I am an expert in Magizoology. "

Aaron was thoughtful, and sighed regretfully, "I thought I could gain something from you!"

"Hagrid, you were the victim 50 years ago, and I need you to tell me the clues you know.

Don't try to fool me, you must know something. "

Hagrid's eyes moved slightly, his face flustered, and he said with a sneer, "I might really know nothing."

Seeing his behavior, Aaron immediately had an answer in his heart.
