Chapter 172 Coincidence is indeed not a coincidence

"Pure blood!"

After the words fell, the stone door slowly opened.

Both Harry and Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief as she read out the password, "How do you know? Slytherins shouldn't tell others their passwords."

"Of course I guessed it." Hermione said with some excitement, "I thought of a dozen passwords that could match Slytherin, but I didn't expect to succeed in the first time. It seems that we are lucky."

The three of them walked through the stone door and entered a long and narrow basement.

This was the first time they entered the Slytherin common room. The walls and ceiling were made of rock, and green-light chandeliers were hung from the ceiling.

A pile of flames burned in the fireplace, making a crackling sound, reflecting the figures of several Slytherins around it.

"This is the Slytherin common room!" Ron said with some disdain. "It's cold, dark, and has a weird green light. It feels completely different from Gryffindor."

"It's normal, Slytherin represents the water element and Gryffindor represents the fire element.

Styles are naturally incompatible with fire and water. "

"Don't worry about it for now. We still have forty-five minutes. We need to find Aaron quickly." Harry said anxiously, "Does any of you know where his dormitory is?"

Hermione and Ron looked at each other, feeling that Harry was a little too anxious.

It was luck to be able to enter the Slytherin common room, and he wanted to find Aaron's dormitory directly to make sure he wasn't embarrassing the two Gryffindors.

"Okay!" Harry reacted and looked a little embarrassed, "We have to find someone to ask."

Ron walked directly up to a girl and said, "Sorry, I forgot where Gaius' dormitory is. Can you help me?"

"Are you talking about Senior Aaron Gaius?" A blush appeared on the female student's face, "I really want to help you, but the dormitories for boys and girls are separate.

If you are going to find him, can you help me ask him if he is satisfied with the Christmas gift I sent him?

By the way, my name is..."

Before the girl finished speaking, Ron left with a disappointed look on his face.

"Can you use your brain?" Hermione said speechlessly, "It would be abnormal if she told a girl where the boys' dormitory is."

"It's not like there's nothing gained!" Ron sat awkwardly on the sofa. "At least it proves that Aaron's influence in Slytherin is no less than that of Harry in Gryffindor."

The corners of Harry's mouth twitched, this seems different!

Most of his fame was given by Voldemort, and he himself was baffled and even felt unworthy of it, but Aaron's fame came from his own charisma.

"How about I ask another man?"

"No." Hermione didn't agree with this method and muttered: "Draco and Aaron have a very good relationship, and Crabbe and Goyle are Draco's followers.

Everyone else could not know about Aaron's dormitory, but the three of them had to know about it. "

"Then we just wait here?" Harry looked at his watch, "We only have less than three-quarters of the time left."

Just when the three of them were at a loss what to do, a figure appeared in front of them.

Looking up, the Slytherin prefect was looking at them meaningfully, with a faint smile on his face.

The three of them felt their hearts pounding suddenly, and their breathing became unsteady. Could it be that they were exposed?

They couldn't help but worry. First of all, Naylor was a high-level magician, so it was possible that he could see the problem.

Secondly, this is Hermione's first time preparing polyjuice potion. It seems to be successful so far, but the effect of the medicine cannot be perfect, and there will be some deviations from the description in the book.

But as Naylor spoke, the three of them gradually put their hearts back in their stomachs.

"I can see that you are troubled."

Hermione's eyes lit up and she said in a Malfoy tone: "Yes, I have something to discuss with Aaron, but I don't know how to say it."

"Can you talk to me?

I am a prefect. Although my responsibility is to regulate students' behavior, I can also help students solve some minor troubles. "

"Then take us to Aaron's dormitory!" Harry blurted out, but then he saw the doubt on Naylor's face and immediately added: "I mean our boss needs a little push. "

"As for that?" Naylor looked at Draco, "Based on your relationship with him, what else can make you feel embarrassed?"

"Um..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, "Quidditch."

Naylor suddenly realized that he also knew that Slytherin could win the Quidditch championship this time thanks to Aaron's tactics.

But this trick may not work well next time. If you want to ensure your results, you still have to ask for his opinion. It is probably because Draco can't lose face, so he feels entangled!

"I'll take you there. It's about Slytherin's honor. There's nothing to hesitate about."

Naylor said and took the lead. The three of them looked at each other and quickly suppressed the smiles on their lips.

Arriving at a wooden door, Naylor knocked.

When Aaron heard the sound, he quickly put the half-drawn magic circle into his pocket, covered the clue wall and the makeshift chicken coop, and then opened the door.

"Prefect, and Draco, what do you want?"

"That's right, Draco..."

"I want to talk to you about something." Hermione immediately interrupted Naylor. Their time was limited, and asking about Quidditch tactics was a complete waste.

However, Harry and Ron had a flash of regret in their eyes. If they could figure out Aaron's tactics in advance, the next championship would be certain.

Aaron raised his eyebrows and let them in directly.

But Naylor didn't stay much longer. He could only do this. If he interfered in the Slytherin team's affairs, Flint would be unhappy.

"Tell me! What are you doing with me?" Aaron asked sitting on the chair, "You three actually came here together."

"I just want to ask you about the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione said hesitantly, "Many people now say that you are the heir of Slytherin."

"The wind has changed so quickly, shouldn't it be Harry Potter?"

"You also know your reputation in Slytherin, and we prefer to believe that you are the heir."

"Haha!" Aaron smiled contemptuously, "But I am obviously not. You should know that I have been checking this matter after Halloween."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Harry and Ron, feeling relieved but also at a loss.

This is completely different from what they imagined. Aaron is not the real culprit behind the scenes, not even Draco Malfoy.

Harry couldn't accept it. If both of them were eliminated, then he would be the only suspect left in Hogwarts.

"Is it really not you? Then why do you show up at the crime scene every time?"

"Goyle, your attitude when asking questions is just like Harry's. It seems I have no reason to answer you!"

"Don't be the same as him, Aaron." Hermione said immediately, "Goyle actually hopes that you will be the heir, so that the safety of Slytherin College can be considered guaranteed."

"Tch!" Aaron curled his lips, "The relationship between Gaius and Slytherin can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, but I can be sure that I don't have any Slytherin blood in my body."

"That's really... such a pity." Ron said sarcastically, "Slytherin is a Holy Mage!"

"It's not like our family has never had a Holy Magister. It's nothing special." Aaron said nonchalantly. There were at least seven or eight Holy Magisters in the secret room of his family who were alive.

Is he proud? Is he proud?

Ron opened his mouth and was speechless. In some ways, the hidden family did have a stronger foundation than pure-blood families like them.

Harry kept winking at the astonished Hermione.

Aaron is not the heir of Slytherin, which is great to see, but they can't come here in vain!

With Draco Malfoy's identity, many questions will be answered, and Aaron will definitely have clues about the Chamber of Secrets, which is not to be missed.

Hermione came back to her senses and looked at Aaron guiltily, "Well...actually, I also want to know why you show up at the scene of the crime every time.

Don't tell me it's a coincidence! This reason can also deceive Harry Potter. "

Harry:......

This sounds strange, but it does fit Malfoy's character.

"Okay!" Aaron held Abe on the table into his arms and said proudly: "You also know its identity. My dragon cub is special and can feel killing intent to a certain extent.

It can feel it every time the creature in the chamber is about to attack the students, so... you get the point. "

Hermione and Ron both looked at Harry involuntarily, with mixed emotions flashing in their eyes, including blame, but mostly sympathy.

What is this thing called?

Those few times were indeed no coincidence, but Aaron was indeed not the heir of Slytherin.

Harry also understood. He was so embarrassed that he could dig out a Hogwarts with his feet. If there was a crack in the ground, he really wanted to get into it right away.

However, just as he was thinking this, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch, because there was really a neat cut on the floor, which was tailor-made for him.

Harry quickly averted his gaze, not looking at the crack.

"So Aaron, have you found out who is the real culprit behind this?" Hermione asked tentatively, "Or are there any other clues?"

Aaron thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"Did you find it?" Harry slapped his thigh excitedly. If Ron hadn't bumped his arm from the side, he would have jumped up.

"You're getting too excited, Goyle.

I just have some clues, but I'm still a long way from finding the heir of Slytherin. Aaron said with a faint smile, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He had been searching for the secret room at Hogwarts for decades without finding it, but he found real clues and even learned the identity of the monster in the secret room.
