Chapter 283 Another new victim!

This was not the first time Harry went to the principal's office.

But before, he was sent up by the rotating staircase through the secret room, but this time, he took the magic elevator and pressed the button to the floor where the principal's office was located.

The elevator opened, Harry walked out, and said the secret order: "Honey lemonade."

However, the door of the office in front of him was not opened. He said it several times in a row, but it still did not open.

Lin Xia and others hurriedly chased up from behind.

Seeing Harry still standing outside the door, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They all thought that Harry was too impulsive this time.

Hermione said: "The principal is obviously not in the office, so the door cannot be opened."

Lin Xia looked at Harry: "Why don't we go to the laboratory to discuss what to do next?"

Harry shook his head solemnly: "No, I have to tell the principal this news quickly, and I will go to find the professor now."

Ron hurriedly followed: "Wait for me, Harry, I will go with you!"

Hermione, Lin Xia and Draco stood in place. They did not keep up. Harry obviously had to do this thing, and no one could stop him.

Draco suddenly said, "I think Harry is right to do this. Hagrid is very important to us. He is obviously wronged. If we find the headmaster in advance, we can also ask for mercy.

Decades ago, the headmaster was just a professor at Hogwarts. He tried his best to defend Hagrid and did not put him in Azkaban. The headmaster should have suspected someone at that time, but he just couldn't find evidence."

Hermione didn't know what to do. She didn't want Hagrid to be put in Azkaban.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Why don't we write a letter and send it to the Ministry of Magic to explain the situation?"

Lin Xia shook her head, "They won't read our letters."

Hermione was still too naive about the magical world.

"Let's follow up and see what Professor McGonagall says. Maybe we can get some clues from it. Things are not as bad as we thought."

When Lin Xia and others came to Professor McGonagall's office, Harry had already talked to the professor.

McGonagall was puzzled by their arrival.

"Harry, if I remember correctly, you have a Potions class this afternoon. Did you skip it? The bell has already rung."

Harry said nervously, "I can explain, Professor."

He hurriedly told what happened in the Forbidden Forest and emphasized, "Hagrid is innocent. I have already found Aragog and learned the whole thing from him. He was framed that year. The death of that student had nothing to do with him!"

Professor McGonagall's face was long and her expression was very bad.

"Harry, you should hurry to class now. I don't want to talk to you about Hagrid. I haven't held you accountable yet, and you all."

McGonagall's eyes swept over them and then back to Harry.

"You went to the Forbidden Forest without permission, and you even talked to Aragog. Do you know how long this eight-eyed spider has lived? How dangerous it is? How dare you go to see it! If Hagrid also knows about this, then he is--"

Lin Xia interrupted in time: "Professor, Hagrid didn't know that we secretly went to find Aragog without telling him.

We just want to know the truth of the year. In fact, Hagrid did nothing and he is innocent."

Professor McGonagall said seriously: "Then you should trust the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic will never wrongly accuse anyone who is innocent. White people will give him justice. "

Harry said anxiously: "Professor, can you find Headmaster Dumbledore? I want him to know about this matter, please help me contact him!"

"No!"

Professor McGonagall refused righteously, "The headmaster is very busy, don't bother him with such a small matter, Harry, I don't know why you are so disgusted with the Ministry of Magic?

Dumbledore is the Minister of Magic. Under his leadership, the Ministry of Magic has a good reputation in the wizarding world every year. You shouldn't be prejudiced against it. "

Ron shrank in the corner, closed his mouth, and dared not speak.

It seems that Harry's impression of the Ministry of Magic was all learned from him.

Ron looked a little uneasy. Could it be that his father was lying and the Ministry of Magic was not so bad?

If this is true, then they all misunderstood!

"Okay, all of you, get out of my office immediately and go to Potions class. I will give you a note of leave.

Tell Snape that you will come to my office at noon to help me mark the papers. I forgot the time, so I kept you until now.

Snape will not deduct your points for the House Cup when he sees this note."

Harry wanted to say something, but McGonagall suddenly glanced at him.

"Stop, Harry, you must go to class now!"

Hermione and Ron stepped forward to hold Harry.

Professor McGonagall was obviously angry, so it was better not to raise eyebrows at this time.

After these little wizards left, Professor McGonagall looked serious, her eyes flickered, and she was thinking about some problems.

She waved her wand and slowly generated a document from the air.

This document is a list of wizards recently arrested and sent to Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic.

She is not only the vice-principal of Hogwarts, but also the assistant to the Minister of Magic, handling some unimportant chores for Dumbledore.

Of course, some important documents would also be handed from her to Dumbledore.

The document was turned over page by page automatically without wind. Professor McGonagall frowned after reading all the contents. There was no Hagrid's name in this document.

"Did Hagrid be caught by mistake? Or is there someone else in the Ministry of Magic who wants to take Hagrid away? But why should he be taken away? His existence will not affect Hogwarts, unless it is... "

An idea flashed in Professor McGonagall's mind.

It’s related to the secret room from decades ago!

She immediately waved her wand and used magic to summon Dumbledore to report Hagrid's incident.

On the other side, several young wizards came to the door of the Potions class.

Professor Snape stood on the high podium and taunted: "Let's see who is late, oh, it turns out to be those pretentious little wizards, three of them even got the top student badge.

This makes me wonder if Hogwarts's standards for recruiting outstanding students are too simple? Can even top students skip classes easily?

Maybe next time I should include the proposal of attendance in the assessment of outstanding students. "

As soon as these words came out, the Slytherin students couldn't help laughing.

Grace even whistled arrogantly at Harry and the others, showing great provocation.

Lin Xia said at this time: "Professor, we have a leave application note approved by Professor McGonagall. We have been kept by Professor McGonagall until now. If you don't believe it, you can communicate with Professor McGonagall."

Snape glanced at them coldly, "I didn't say I didn't believe you, you little wizards who don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

With Professor McGonagall's leave request, Lin Xia and others were easily let in and took their seats.

This time in Potions class, Harry was absent-minded.

He always wondered whether Hagrid could be released and whether Professor McGonagall would pass his words to Dumbledore.

He was thinking again, what would he do if he wanted to rescue Hagrid from Azkaban?

Can he break in? Does the Ministry of Magic really have any wizards with conscience...

These chaotic and complicated thoughts affected him and caused him to make frequent mistakes.

Not to mention what Professor Snape would think, Harry's partner Ron felt a little distressed after seeing it.

Ron said: "Harry, you got the bezoar wrong again. The bezoar should be ground into powder, not such coarse particles."

Harry came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll grind it now."

He thought about things while grinding, and finally added all the bezoar into the crucible.

Ron was almost devastated by his mistake.

"Harry, you did it wrong again. We don't need so much bezoar, we only need 4 parts of bezoar!"

Harry nodded again: "Okay, I'll grind the bezoar again."

Ron: "...Harry, you have to hurry up, otherwise you will miss the addition time and the medicine will become less effective."

Harry replied absently: "Yeah."

Ron: ...Brother, it’s hard for me to believe you with your expression.

Finally, Ron sighed helplessly, grabbed Harry's mortar, and started grinding it himself.

In this class, they learned about broad-spectrum antidotes.

The steps are not complicated, it is a very standard potion making step, but the materials used are relatively precious. For example, the bezoar they have on hand is known as a universal detoxification material.

In addition, they also have to add unicorn horn, which is also a rare material.

After being distracted until the end of get out of class, Harry couldn't wait to rush to Professor McGonagall's office, but Lockhart walked in and announced something loudly to everyone.

"Children, the danger has passed, the criminal has been taken away, the one who opened the secret room and released the basilisk!

You will never think of who that person is. This is so unexpected. The heir of Slytherin actually studied in Gryffindor before!

Oh, maybe the relationship between Slytherin and Gryffindor is not as bad as rumored? "

Harry's heart was pounding as a thought flooded into his mind.

But he couldn't believe it or think about it.

No, it won’t, it shouldn’t be that bad!

A young wizard asked: "Professor Lockhart, who is the heir of Slytherin?"

Lockhart said impassionedly: "Hagrid!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

Many people have a good relationship with Hagrid. This ranger with giant blood is very approachable.

"impossible!"

Suddenly two voices sounded at the same time.

Everyone couldn't help but turn around and look, it was Harry and Grace.

Harry's lips were slightly open, not knowing how to explain it, but Grace's angry words had already sounded out——

"Hagrid can't be the heir of Slytherin!

How could he, a person with extremely humble blood, deserve to be the heir of Slytherin?

This is definitely a conspiracy from Gryffindor, and the real heir is still hiding in the dark, playing tricks on us! "

Lin Xia was speechless.

I have seen through the identity of Gres with the eyes of destiny, and I can tell at a glance that he is putting on a show.

The person who should be the last to say this is probably Grace.

Harry felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he was denying that Hagrid was not the heir, his words were too ugly. Talking about blood is always talking about blood!

Is lineage theory really that important?

If blood theory represents everything, then why is there not an outstanding student in the first and second years of Slytherin?

Harry couldn't help but say: "Gris, you can speak snake language and you are a staunch supporter of the theory of bloodline. Could it be that you are the real heir?"

Gris' mouth twitched and he looked at Harry deeply.

"Show your evidence, or it's slander."

Harry shrugged: "I think you're quite right."

"Okay, little wizards, don't be so excited. Hagrid is the opener of the Chamber of Secrets. It's an indisputable fact, whether you believe it or not."

Lockhart said in the tone of explaining 1+1=2 to others:

"If the Ministry of Magic is not 100% sure that Hagrid is guilty, it would not be easy to take him away. Hagrid was taken away by the Ministry of Magic in the afternoon."

Harry said with difficulty: "Professor, I don't think Hagrid would do this. There must be some misunderstanding."

Lockhart said complacently: "Harry, compared to you, I am confident that I know more about the truth of Hagrid's arrest."

...

The news that "Hagrid is the heir of the Chamber of Secrets and was taken away by the Ministry of Magic for investigation" swept the entire Hogwarts like a whirlwind.

It was dinner time.

In the Great Hall, all the wizards were discussing this matter, and they all knew it.

"The Slytherin people are really treacherous and cunning. In order to conceal their identities, they actually went to school at their mortal enemy Gryffindor. They are so scheming!"

Some little wizards didn't quite believe it and said, "Hagrid might have been wronged by the Ministry of Magic. He is really not a Slytherin at all."

Another little wizard refuted it with Lockhart's words.

"Without any evidence, will the Ministry of Magic easily take someone away? I heard that he will be imprisoned in Azkaban!"

Harry suddenly stood up with an ugly face: "I'm done eating, I'm leaving first."

He couldn't listen anymore.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, put down their forks, and followed them out.

Lin Xia glanced and suddenly found that Harry's steps were a little wrong.

At first he was just hurried, but later he ran directly, as if he was chasing something.

Using the supersensory spell a little and listening to Harry's heartbeat, Lin Xia found that Harry's heartbeat was very fast, as if something was stimulating him.

Lin Xia thought for a while, then stood up and said in a low voice: "Draco, Harry seems to have found something, I'll go and see."

Draco also said immediately: "I'll go with you!"

Before leaving, Lin Xia suddenly looked back at the Slytherin table, looking for Grace.

There was no trace of him on the table.

From the beginning, he didn't come to the hall to eat.

Harry ran very fast in the long corridor, and he heard that voice again!

"I'm going to kill you, kill you--"

"I'm so hungry, I'm crazy hungry, I want to eat!"

"Kill everyone, eat everyone I see... There's a person there, I'm going to eat her..."

"Harry, wait for us!" Hermione and Ron ran behind him, panting.

Lin Xia simply used the sprint spell, and soon caught up with Ron, falling behind Harry, and Harry quickly turned a corner.

Suddenly, Harry paused, and Lin Xia saw it a few seconds later and also paused.
