Chapter 124: Speeches flying everywhere
On this day, it was not just the little wizard from Hufflepuff who learned of such a gossip-worthy thing.
In every corner, there are people who have received such old newspapers, some yellowed pieces of paper, or some books written by some reporters from the Wizard's Prophecy Daily.
What's even more amazing is that the front page news in the old newspaper has a red cross with the word "voided", which means that the newspaper was unable to publish it due to the content;
The piece of paper also said "I only told you this matter, please don't tell others.";
On the cover of the book, it says "Reading is prohibited unless you are under the age of x".
The more prohibited something is, the easier it is to spread.
As a result, some comments that were surprising, scary, or related to the recent secret room spread widely in a short period of time, and the speed of spread was simply beyond everyone's imagination.
When the professors learned about these remarks, they were unable to change the direction of the matter. In the end, Professor Dumbledore looked at these remarks, laughed them off, and did not do anything to deal with them.
On this day, the History of Magic class ended, and the corridor outside the classroom was crowded with people.
The young wizards waited for the professor to leave and once again discussed the recent strange remarks.
"Hey, have you heard?" A young wizard lowered his voice:
"Professor Dumbledore had an extraordinary friendship with Grindelwald of the previous generation, which even went beyond an ordinary friendship. Oh my god, I thought Professor Dumbledore was very pure and never married..."
"What's this?" The person listening to him shook his head with a heavy expression.
"Compared to this, the fact that the mysterious man is about to make a comeback is worthy of attention. Is he actually planning to return from death? This is simply unimaginable.
The mysterious man is no ordinary dark wizard. How many innocent people died in the last magic war he started? How many innocent families have been destroyed? If it happens again, maybe Hogwarts will collapse, and maybe most of us will die! "
The little wizard on the side took a breath when he heard this, and was frightened by these remarks.
Later, someone else mentioned something else.
"I heard someone said that during this Chamber of Secrets incident, the heir to Slytherin was Marcus Flint of Slytherin. Do you believe it?"
"Believe it! Why don't you believe it?" Another person responded:
"Think about it, what does the Slytherin team led by Flint look like? Brutal, violent, and bloody. He once shot down Hufflepuff's second student from a high altitude with a Bludger. At that time, the student directly vomited blood. I was hospitalized for two months!”
"Some people also say that Draco Malfoy opened the Chamber of Secrets." The person just now spoke again,
"This is what I saw in a note. It seems that someone witnessed him getting along with the monster in the secret room, but he didn't dare to tell it because he was worried about revenge, so he wrote it in the note and only told his friends."
"Yeah." Someone else also knew about this and said:
"I also saw the note that was circulated. It was crumpled and seemed to be anonymous. In the note, he told his friends not to tell the news.
In addition, after my analysis, Draco Malfoy was born into a prestigious pure-blood family, and his bloodline could not be more pure. Moreover, his father, like him, had studied in Slytherin.
Therefore, I judge that the possibility of this matter is indeed very high. "
After hearing this, the little wizards on the side couldn't help but look up at the pale blond-haired figure in the distance.
Draco Malfoy, who was far away, also heard these words. He looked back with a smile on his lips, as if he was happy because of these words.
He glanced at Meka and Harry who were walking almost shoulder to shoulder with him, wiped his hands on his neck provocatively, and said:
"One of you Mudbloods will be next, I promise."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"The next one will be one of you..." Ron repeated like a scholar, and immediately said 'bah' at his back:
"It's just like a skunk, stinky and disgusting!"
Hermione also frowned and stared at Malfoy, and then asked: "Where do you think these remarks come from? How come they spread everywhere in just a few days?"
She looked at Meka, who shook his head:
"I only saw one of them holding a book, and it said 'Rita Skeeter' on the book. It seemed that some of the remarks came from that book."
Harry also replied: "I don't know much about this matter. I rarely go out these days except for classes."
He went out less often because he didn't like being talked about, and he didn't like being called the heir of Slytherin.
"Listen to them, Malfoy may be the heir of Slytherin?" Hermione looked at Malfoy's back and asked again:
"Harry, you are the only person who has met the 'Heir of Slytherin', what do you think?"
Harry frowned and thought, then quickly shook his head and gave an answer:
"I don't think so. There are some differences in height and shape, and the Slytherin heir is also very powerful in magic. Malfoy should not have this ability."
"But look at Malfoy's arrogant look." Ron pointed at Malfoy's back and said in disgust:
"He didn't mean to refute at all, and he looked happy. I think he must be at least an accomplice!"
"Accomplice?" Harry was stunned for a moment, then thought deeply.
"This is indeed strange." Hermione said, "These days, several people have been called the heirs of Slytherin, but they have all denied it. Only Malfoy has never refuted it..."
She pondered for a moment and said: "I think if we don't have any clues about other Slytherins, we can still start from him, and maybe we can make some discoveries."
…
Harry and Ron followed Hermione to make some preparations to test Malfoy, while Meka returned to the dormitory alone on the pretext of something else.
He quickly wrote two letters, addressed to "Albus Dumbledore" and "Minerva McGonagall".
This is Meka's follow-up plan. When the remarks he spread ferment, it won't be long before the remarks that 'Harry is the heir of Slytherin' will be submerged in them and become less conspicuous. Finally, as time goes by, Disappear slowly.
But this is still not enough.
Because if the petrification incident happened again, related matters would ferment again. At that time, even though Malfoy shared the pressure of public opinion, Harry would not be able to escape the consequences of being discussed.
In other words, Harry's 'dilemma' will continue to exist, and Lily Evans' last wish will still not be fulfilled.
Therefore, Mekar must be prepared to prevent petrification from happening again.
Therefore, he wrote this letter to tell Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk and the relevant information about the basilisk, so that they could make some preparations and better protect Hogwart. students of Ci.
At night, Meka quietly came to the tavern in Mod Village, borrowed an owl, and sent the letter.
