Chapter 174 List of Suspects

"This is the result of my hard work during this period." Aaron explained proudly, "I accurately analyzed the family relationships of all the students in the school, excluding Muggle origins, those who have no relationship with Salazar within ten generations, and those who are Among the wizards who behaved normally during school, these twenty-three are the only ones left.”

"These are the students you found who may be the heirs of Slytherin?" Harry asked with some confusion, "Why don't you see Harry Potter?

Isn't he a Parseltongue? "

"Goyle, you are a little biased." Aaron said meaningfully, "The heir will definitely know the language of snakes, there is no doubt about it, but those who can speak the language of snakes may not be the heirs.

Harry may have Salazar's blood, but he would never use this power to harm others. "

"Do you believe him so much?" Harry didn't dare to look at Aaron. Comparing what the two of them did, he only felt ashamed.

"I have a pretty good eye for people." Aaron walked to the middle of the wall, waved his wand lightly, and all the crossed names disappeared, while the remaining names gathered from various locations on the wall to the middle. .

The names of twenty-three people suddenly became larger and flashed with green light.

"This is impossible."

Ron suddenly stood up and looked at one of the names in surprise.

Ginny Weasley, his biological sister, was actually on the list of suspects.

"Calm down, Crabbe." Aaron said helplessly, "I don't know if there are any of your friends here, but I have carefully selected these. Logically speaking, there will be no mistakes."

Ron was startled for a moment and quickly adjusted his expression.

He pointed at Ginny Weasley's name, which stood out to him, and asked, "Is this a mistake? How could Weasley be related to Slytherin?"

When Harry and Hermione heard this, they looked at Aaron in disbelief, especially Harry, who had lived in the Burrow for a month during the holidays and knew the Weasley family well.

Ginny is the youngest sister in the Weasley family and the most orthodox Gryffindor, and the ancestors of the Weasley family have absolutely no connection with Slytherin.

"To be honest, she is the one I least want to doubt." Aaron said with some regret, "I stayed at the Burrow for two days before school started. Ginny Weasley is a pretty good little girl."

"Then you still..."

"Hear me out, Crabbe.

First of all, Ginny is a new student. According to my analysis, it is more likely that the heir of Slytherin is a new student. Of course, I did not let go of the old students to check.

Secondly, you may not have noticed it, but I have noticed that Ginny is acting strangely these days. The four Weasleys, Fred, George, Percy and Ron, are always thinking of various ways to make her happy.

I actually hoped that it was the pressure of studying that made her depressed and in poor condition, but she was too nervous around the time Justin was attacked.

In my opinion, that kind of behavior means that I have done something hugely wrong and am afraid of being discovered. "

"Maybe it's just pure fear!" Ron found a reasonable excuse for his sister. She encountered a murder in the first semester of school. It's natural for her, a little girl, to be scared!

"Perhaps, but excluding the possibility of fear, Ginny Weasley is the biggest suspect."

"What about the others?" Hermione asked, "Why are the remaining twenty-two on this list?"

"Draco." Aaron frowned in confusion: "You believed in me before, but why do you have so many questions today?"

"Curiosity gets the better of you."

Aaron shrugged, pointed to the names and said: "Except for Ginny Weasley, some of the remaining people had both parents die and grew up in orphanages. The family backgrounds of these people cannot be traced. Either he was born as a Muggle, or he was a mixed-blood, and maybe he had Salazar's bloodline, which was not yet known.

Some people became taciturn or extremely agitated after the attack began, and their contact with other people decreased a lot. It may be out of pure fear, but it may also be because they are worried that others will see their flaws.

There is also a small group of people who have poor personalities, are cynical, and have almost no friends. They may also be the heirs of Slytherin, but their suspicions are smaller than those of the first two groups. "

After listening to Aaron's explanation, the three of Harry looked at each other, unable to find any reason to refute for the moment.

It took them several months to shortlist a list, and it still contains some gold content.

"Besides the basilisk and this list, what else do you know?" Harry asked.

Aaron glanced at him suspiciously. He didn't understand why these people were talking so much today, but he still said: "The location of the secret room..."

"Did you find it?"

The three of them looked at him with excitement. If they find the secret room, they can directly tell Dumbledore that as long as the basilisk can be eradicated, even if the heir of Slytherin wants to become a monster, there will be no way.

"What are you thinking about?" Aaron rolled his eyes at the three of them, "Have you not found anything after searching for so many years in Hogwarts?

I searched most places in Hogwarts these days, the classrooms, the library, the school hospital, and even the professor's office but couldn't find it.

A lot of places have been excluded, but there is still a small part left, which can be regarded as compressing the scope! "

"Where else is left?" Harry asked eagerly. Only Aaron could find a limited place, but if the three of them had enough clues, they might not be able to find the secret room.

"What are you in such a hurry for?

Goyle, I'm not telling you, you should really learn from Draco. It won't do you any harm to calm down. "

"Well... Mainly Malfoy wants to help you."

Hermione nodded immediately, "This is what good friends should do."

"Okay! But it's hard even for me to check the rest of the places!" Aaron let out a long sigh, "The first is the principal's office. I haven't checked Dumbledore's place, but it's unlikely. .

The second is the Forbidden Forest, where magical animals like to gather, but it is too dangerous and the area is very large.

Then there is the Black Lake. Slytherin House is a symbol of the water element. The Black Lake is the largest water source in Hogwarts.

There are also common rooms in the other three colleges, but these places generally do not welcome students from other colleges.

In the end..."

Every time Aaron mentioned a location, Harry's heart sank a little.

I wanted to help, so that Aaron would find out later and they would have their own explanation.

We accidentally deceived you, but we also helped you find the secret room, all for Hogwarts!

With this reason, not to mention that the two parties do not owe each other, but it can somewhat reduce his anger!

But now it seems that there is no need to think about it. The safest place here is the principal's office. Unless you make a big mistake or make a great contribution, it is impossible to get in. They are not Dumbledore's relatives.

Hermione had the same idea as Harry. Her face was also very solemn, and she kept grabbing her robe with both hands, as if she wanted to dig a hole in it.

As for Ron, he didn't think much about it. His attention was now on Ginny, and there was nothing more important than ruling out his sister's suspicions.

After a few seconds, the three of them recovered and looked at Aaron blankly.

After a moment of silence, Hermione asked: "You can tell me what it was in the end!"

Aaron hesitated for a while and smiled awkwardly, "I've said enough, you can guess the last one for yourself!"

"No, it's the last one!"

"This has nothing to do with being stingy. I really can't say it." Aaron said with a smile. The last place was the women's bathroom. What did he say?

Although the four here are all men and can be considered as one of his own, he doesn't want to be regarded as a pervert.

“In short, you don’t need to worry about the location of the secret room.

If you really want to help me, find the heir of Slytherin among these twenty-three people! Aaron said, "The focus is Ginny Weasley."

I have lived in the burrow for two days, and I don't want to but I can't help but doubt her. With such complex emotions, my judgment will be affected by my emotions to some extent when I investigate inside.

But Draco, you are different. The relationship between Malfoy and Weasley is almost known to everyone, and your investigation will not arouse other people's suspicion. "

Hermione was stunned for a moment. What she said made sense, but the problem was that she was not Draco Malfoy!

"No problem, it's all on me... us." Ron said with a serious face. He is Ginny's brother, and it is not much easier to find out than Malfoy.

Harry and Hermione both looked at him in astonishment, with a flash of bitterness in their eyes.

Of course they knew what Ron was thinking, but he seemed to have forgotten that they were not the Malfoy trio!

It would be better if Aaron didn't ask in the future, but if he asked and Draco himself didn't know what was going on, the consequences would not be as pleasant as usual.

"Is it so happy?" Aaron was a little surprised, but looking at the confident Crabbe, he didn't know what to say, and with Draco's help, he should be able to handle it.

"By the way, Ginny is a first-year student after all, and she's also a girl.

You can make insinuations, but you can't scare her, let alone bully her.

Just think of it as a way to give me face and temporarily put aside your prejudice against Weasley. If you can't do it, let me do it! "

When Hermione heard this, she felt as if she had been granted amnesty.

As long as she shakes her head, some misunderstandings can be avoided.

But before she could say anything, Ron patted his chest and assured, "Absolutely no problem."

"Crabbe." Hermione glared at Ron fiercely, "It's not your turn to make casual guarantees here, Malfoy hasn't spoken yet!"

After hearing this, Ron came back to his senses and closed his mouth angrily.

"Aaron, actually..." Hermione was just about to politely refuse when she realized that her body began to change and her golden hair was becoming fluffy.

She subconsciously looked at Harry and Ron. One's eyes turned green, there was a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead, and the other's hair began to turn red.

"The time for the Polyjuice Potion is almost here." Hermione murmured to herself, and Harry and Ron also realized that the situation was not optimistic.

The next moment, the three of them stood up at the same time.

"Suddenly I remembered that Professor Snape wanted to see me for something." Hermione said this and walked out of the room.

The three of them ran like they were running for their lives out of the Slytherin common room, and rushed through the stone door into the long, dark corridor.
