Chapter 306 The Drainage System of Hogwarts Castle

Maybe it was what happened to Colin that frightened Harry a little.

Or maybe he finally figured out that if he wasn't careful, Harry Potter would be the heir of Slytherin.

In order not to cause trouble to his friends, Harry had been very cautious these past two days, always alert to every move around him, and almost didn't look back three times.

The roar of the wind and the roar of the grass and trees describe his mood at this time.

"Harry, you should take a good rest." Hermione held her forehead, "I think your dark circles are worse now than last year. No, it was before the summer vacation."

Harry frowned, "Aren't I scared by you two... Now I feel like a big snake may suddenly appear behind me at any time..."

Hermione was speechless for a moment, "We are the ones who should be worried about the sudden appearance of a big snake, right? With Slytherin's urine, he must be eager for us Muggle wizards to leave the school."

Harry laughed dryly. This was really beyond his control. He just felt a little fussy anyway.

"By the way, have you found anything?" Harry changed the subject, trying to make himself less nervous, "Do you have any clues as to why that snake can run around in the school without being discovered? ?”

"Of course." Hermione raised her little head triumphantly and took out a book from her backpack, "Detailed Design of the Drainage System of Hogwarts Castle", "To be honest, I didn't expect the library. There will be this book inside, and if it weren’t for the approval slip, I might never see it in my life.”

Harry's first reaction when he saw this book was-ah ha, he can rely on it to find those secret rooms in the future.

However, Hermione poured cold water on him, "It's just that it doesn't record where there are secret rooms in the castle, it just introduces the distribution of water pipes in the castle."

Harry lost interest instantly.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you understand yet? Harry?"

"What?" Harry replied absently.

"Water pipe, water pipe!" Hermione poked at the very thin book in front of her, "That snake is hidden in the drainage pipe of the castle!"

Harry was stunned for a moment and sat up suddenly. He blinked and murmured, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? It's extremely hidden in the wall, so it can only be...a pipe, right?" "

As he said that, he looked at Hermione, "Then, when are we going to find the basilisk?"

Hermione put away the book and whispered, "Wait until Christmas...when there is no one else in the school."

"How is your potion going?" Harry asked in a low voice, "Ron and I are ready to go to the Slytherin common room to find out information at any time."

Hermione gave him a look, "We have everything under control."

However, maybe they were too smooth sailing, and Merlin gave Harry a big surprise before Christmas.

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, despite repeated warnings from Robert and Hermione, when Malfoy summoned the black snake to attack Justin Finch-Fletchley, Harry couldn't help but scream in panic. Stop it.

As expected, things were like a wild horse running wild, running towards a very bad side.

Rumors that "Harry Potter is the heir of Slytherin" began to spread wildly in the school.

This made the little wizards panic.

Ernie MacMillan began to preach to his friends that "Harry Potter may be harmful to Justin", but was bumped into by Harry who wanted to go to Justin to explain the situation.

As a wizard who came from a pure-blood wizarding family, Ernie was more afraid of the name of the heir of Slytherin than anyone else. He bit Harry to death and was an evil dark wizard, and tried to bring down the Muggles in the entire school. The wizards were all killed, much to Harry's annoyance.

The two almost got into a fight in the library.

Hermione came to inquire and stood beside Harry without hesitation, which shocked Ernie.

"Hermione, what are you doing?" Ernie felt bad. "He is a dark wizard who wants to kill all Muggles! Do you know how dangerous you are next to him?"

The little badgers were affected by Ernie's mood and became a little uneasy. Hannah pulled Hermione as if she wanted to pull her away from Harry, which made Harry even more annoyed.

Hermione was very unhappy!

They actually bully their friends!

So she stared at Ernie's face and said word for word, "Actually, you know very well that that person is not Harry!"

"Wha, what?" Ernie twisted his body uneasily, "I, I really think the heir refers to him. You see, he hates Muggles and is a Parseltongue..."

"Because if Harry is the heir of Slytherin, then he should kill you immediately when you say bad things about him, right?" Hermione raised her voice, and what she said attracted the attention of everyone in the library. look.

Mrs. Pince frowned and wanted to stop her from making a noise in the library, but she was stopped.

"Madam." Robert looked at her with a smile, "I found a mature mandrake in the Forbidden Forest and sent it to Professor Snape. He is going to make a potion now to prevent accidents. .Do you want to come with us?”

Ernie's face turned red with anger at Hermione's words, and he shouted loudly, "Hermione Granger! I was worried about your safety! But you said such vicious words!"

"Ha!" Hermione laughed, but her tone was full of ridicule, "You also know that these words are vicious? Then why do you use the title of Heir of Slytherin to slander Harry?"

"I didn't slander!" Ernie defended loudly.

Hermione said calmly, "You do! Because you know that Harry will not attack you, that's why you spread rumors in the library unscrupulously! Because you know that he can't be an heir at all, that's why you dare to push everything to On Harry! Because you know that Harry is a good person, and he will never challenge you for a duel even if he is angry again! You know all this! That’s why you are like a clown, spreading terrifying rumors, and you think this can Do you want to make yourself the one who attracts the most attention? You are wrong! That will only make those who understand your sinister intentions despise you! Dislike you! Reject you!"

"Do you dare to swear in front of everyone that if even one of the alarmist things you just said is false, you will be willing to be eaten by a basilisk when you go out?"

Everyone's eyes shifted from Harry to Hermione, and then to Ernie.

Ernie's face was red but he couldn't say a word.

What he and Hannah had said before were all his imagination, the product of forcibly linking all attacks to Harry.

Make him swear that those things are all true?

What a joke! He himself doesn’t know which of the things he said are true and which are false, okay?
