Chapter 165 This pot is big and round

"If, I mean if!" Hermione emphasized again, looking at the two seriously, and said, "If we turned into Draco and went to the Slytherin common room and asked him, would he not hide anything?" Tell us about the Chamber of Secrets."

"It's possible." Ron nodded. "Malfoy is his best friend in Slytherin, and a pureblood among purebloods. Aaron will definitely not hide it from him."

"But I'm not hitting you, Hermione." Harry said with a bitter face, "Your idea is very good, but that level of transfiguration in Hogwarts may only be known by Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore. Certainly not helping us."

"Without their help, all we need is a little Polyjuice Potion, as Professor Snape mentioned in class.

A properly prepared compound decoction can make the user change into another person for a certain period of time. "

"It's too cruel." Ron smiled in surprise, "At that time we will become Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle to ask him, and Aaron will say anything."

"But there are a few small problems." Hermione looked at the expectant faces of the two and had to dampen their enthusiasm, "First of all, this is very difficult, very difficult, and very dangerous.

I've never made Polyjuice Potion before, and we're probably breaking nearly fifty school rules. "

"Let the school rules go to hell!" Ron said indifferently, "It's not like we haven't done things like making up for mistakes."

"Secondly, the recipe for Polyjuice Potion is in a book called 'Powerful Potions,' which is in the Restricted Section."

"I'll go to Lockhart for approval, and it will be done today." Harry volunteered. Lockhart didn't know that his bones had grown, and he would definitely feel a little guilty when he saw him.

In addition, he knew Lockhart quite well, as long as he praised him against his will and made up a reason, it was not easy to go to the restricted area.

"Again, it's the materials. Potions with such complex configurations require a variety of materials.

Simple we can find a way to get it done by ourselves, but what about those rare materials? "

Ron hesitated for a moment, then looked slowly at Harry, who happened to meet a pair of blue-green eyes.

"Looks like we want to go together."

Harry nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Snape's office is definitely the most abundant storage room in Hogwarts, with all kinds of materials."

"Use the invisibility cloak, as long as we can confirm that he is not there, we will act immediately." Ron said, "In short, there is no password for his office."

"That's what I said might violate the fifty school rules." Hermione rolled her eyes. "There's still time. It takes at least a month to prepare a powerful potion."

"What?" Harry suddenly lost his composure, "One month?

If Aaron was indeed the heir of Slytherin, a month would be enough for him to clean up the Muggle-born wizards. "

Hermione gave him an ugly smile when she heard this, "Finally, and the most serious question, what if Aaron is not the heir of Slytherin?

We have let him down once last year, if we wrong him again this time...

Have you ever thought about the consequences?Licking another face to apologize, he may not forgive us. "

Harry was silent for a while, "Why don't you go, Ron and I, the two of us..."

"Stop kidding, Harry.

How did you become like Draco and the others? A trace of bitterness appeared on Hermione's face, "He is very smart, even if he didn't think of it at first, he would always think of it later that I helped you make the polyjuice potion."

In other words, it's impossible for me to stay out of it. "

"That...are you two thinking too much?" Ron chuckled, "We use the identity of Malfoy and the others, even if he is wronged, he can't burn us.

And it would be a good thing if we wronged him, at least to prove that he is innocent, not the heir of Slytherin. "

"That's right." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Hermione firmly, "Let's make the Polyjuice Potion first!

If the school finds the heir of Slytherin within a month, abandon the plan, and if there are no other suspects, then..."

Harry didn't finish the sentence, but both Ron and Hermione understood him.

But this may be the only thing they can do at present, so they can't waste their time in vain!

They were very efficient, and Harry got the approval slip in the afternoon, but it took him a long time to check with Mrs. Pince before he could borrow the book.

It's just that there is not much time to borrow a batch of approval slips, and they have to get a few more batches of approval slips from Lockhart before the potion is dispensed, otherwise the book will not be able to keep.

They set the place to prepare the compound decoction in the bathroom where Myrtle lived, and the materials needed were exactly as they had expected.

Grass gnats, leeches, sap grass, and two-eared grass are simple things they can get, but the rare materials such as the horns of bicorns and the snake skin of African tree snakes can only be found in Snape's office. Only then.

But this is not a big problem, it is really too easy to sneak in when no one is in the office with an invisibility cloak.

Everything went smoothly, and the Polyjuice Potion was more than half finished by the second week of December, but the last ingredient made them feel particularly embarrassed.

Because the final materials are the things on the person you want to become, such as hair, nails, blood, fragments of skin and epidermis, and so on.

But they didn't have much contact with Draco and his two followers at ordinary times, and they even met with cynicism, and they couldn't find any opportunities for a while.

The three of them couldn't do anything about it, and Harry and Ron even wanted to find a reason to fight the three of them in order to get things from them. After all, it was normal to pull their hair when fighting.

Although it may violate the school rules and get Gryffindor deducted ten points, at least it can achieve its goal.

But luck always came in time when it was due. On Saturday, there was an extra piece of parchment on the bulletin board.

"Duel Club?" Ron looked at the notice with some doubts, "It seems to be useful, at least it doesn't just know how to run when facing monsters.

However, which professor organized this? "

"I don't know, it didn't say in the notice," said Hermione, "but I guess it's Professor Flitwick, who was a dueling champion when he was young."

"This is also our chance." Harry thought thoughtfully, "It would be great if we could get Malfoy's hair during the duel."

"It's just right, teach Malfoy a fair and honest lesson." Ron picked up his wand. Although it was still wrapped with a thick tape, he had figured out how to use this wand these days, at least not recently. problem.

"By the way, how is Aaron doing these days?" Hermione looked at the two and asked nervously, "Is there anything unusual about him?"

Harry's face became a little complicated, and Ron hesitated to speak.

"You guys are talking!"

"We were just skeptical at first." Harry said with some difficulty, "but now we are basically sure.

Aaron took Abe around every day, we both knew, and he was asking about the families of the students in the four colleges. "

"And especially with Slytherins," Ron added.

"But what does this mean?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"Merlin!

So obvious can't you see it? Ron rolled his eyes, "He's picking a target, the next target for the monster in the chamber of secrets." "

"No way!" Hermione frowned, "If it's about picking targets, then why investigate Slytherin?"

"That's called rigor." Ron said firmly, "You know him well. Since he decided to do something, he must investigate the situation in his backyard!"

"That's it, Hermione." Harry shrugged. "I know it's hard news, but it's the truth."

Hearing what the two said, Hermione was not as confident as she was at the beginning. She let out a long breath, and it took a while to react.

"Get what's on Malfoy's body, and if all goes well, the Polyjuice Potion can be prepared before Christmas."

"Great." Harry said excitedly, "I challenge Malfoy tonight, you two challenge Crabbe and Goyle, they will definitely not refuse."

At eight o'clock in the evening, the students gathered in the auditorium.

The four long tables disappeared, replaced by a long ring in the center.

There is a row of torches on each side of the wall, and the firelight and hundreds of candles hanging from the ceiling illuminate the auditorium particularly brightly.

Aaron hugged Abe, looking at the crowd around him from time to time.

To be honest, he didn't want to come, because investigating the secret room is much more important.

But he'd searched almost every part of the castle without finding the Chamber of Secrets, and his investigation of the Slytherin's heir had yielded no clues.

Since Colin was petrified, the heir seems to have become more vigilant, and has never shown himself.

It can't be said that there is no gain at all, at least a lot of places have been excluded, and a lot of people have been excluded, and the scope of the investigation has narrowed by a large circle.

But after working hard for more than a month, it would be a lie to say that I am not tired.

Just taking advantage of tonight to appreciate the duel project, it can be regarded as a disguised relaxation.
