"Pure blood!"
After the voice fell, the stone door slowly opened.
Both Harry and Ron looked at Hermione who read out the password in disbelief, "How do you know? Slytherin shouldn't tell others their password."
"Of course I guessed it." Hermione said a little excitedly, "I thought of a dozen passwords that can match Slytherin, but I didn't expect to succeed once. It seems that we are lucky."
The three of them passed through the stone door and entered a long and narrow basement.
It was the first time they had entered the Slytherin common room. The walls and ceiling were made of rock, and a green-glowing chandelier hung from the ceiling.
There was a pile of flames burning in the fireplace, making a crackling sound, reflecting the figures of several Slytherins around.
"This is the Slytherin common room!" Ron said with some disdain. "It's cold, dark, and has a weird green light. It feels completely different from Gryffindor."
"Normally, Slytherin represents the element of water, and Gryffindor represents the element of fire.
Style is naturally incompatible. "
"Forget about this, we still have 45 minutes, we need to find Aaron quickly." Harry said eagerly, "Does any of you know where his dormitory is?"
Hermione and Ron looked at each other, feeling that Harry was a little too anxious.
It was luck to be able to enter the Slytherin common room, and I wanted to find Aaron's dormitory directly, so I was sure I wasn't embarrassing the two Gryffindors.
"Okay!" Harry realized, his face was a little embarrassed, "We need to find someone to ask."
Ron walked up to a girl directly, "Sorry, I forgot where Gaius' dormitory is, can you help me?"
"Are you talking about Senior Aaron Gaius?" The female student blushed, "I really want to help you, but the male and female dormitories are separated.
If you're going to find him, can you ask him if he's happy with my Christmas present?
By the way, my name is..."
Before the girl finished speaking, Ron left with a disappointed face.
"Can you use your brain?" Hermione said speechlessly, "Ask the location of the girls' and boys' dormitories. It would be abnormal if she said so."
"It's not without any gains!" Ron sat awkwardly on the sofa, "At least it proves that Aaron's influence in Slytherin is no less than Harry's in Gryffindor."
The corner of Harry's mouth twitched, it doesn't seem quite the same!
Most of his fame was given by Voldemort, and he himself was inexplicable and even felt unworthy, but Aaron's fame came from his own charisma.
"How about I ask another man?"
"No." Hermione didn't agree with this method, she pondered: "Draco and Aaron have a very good relationship, and Crabbe and Goyle are Draco's followers.
Others don't need to know about Aaron's dormitory, but the three of them have to. "
"Then shall we just wait here?" Harry looked at his watch. "We've got less than three-quarters of the time left."
Just when the three were at a loss, a figure appeared in front of them.
Looking up, the Slytherin prefect was looking at them meaningfully, with a faint smile on his face.
The hearts of the three of them thumped suddenly, and their breathing became unsteady. Could this be exposure?
It was impossible for them not to worry. First of all, Naylor was a senior magician, so it was possible that he could see the problem.
Secondly, it was the first time for Hermione to prepare a compound decoction. So far, it seems to be a success, but the effect of the medicine cannot be perfect, and there may be some deviations from the description in the book.
But as Naylor spoke, the three of them gradually took their hearts back into their stomachs.
"I can see that you have something to worry about."
Hermione's eyes lit up, and she said in Malfoy's tone, "Yes, I have something I want to discuss with Aaron, but I don't know how to say it."
"Can you talk to me?
I am the prefect. Although the responsibility is to regulate the behavior of students, it is also possible to help students solve some minor troubles. "
"Then take us to Aaron's dorm!" Harry blurted out, but then saw the puzzled look on Naylor's face, and immediately added: "I mean our boss needs a little push. "
"As for?" Naylor looked at Draco, "Is there anything that can embarrass you based on your relationship with him?"
"Er..." Hermione hesitated for a moment, "Quidditch."
Naylor suddenly realized, and he also knew that Slytherin won the Quidditch match this time thanks to Aaron's tactics.
But this kind of tactic may not be easy to use next time. If you want to guarantee the results, you still have to ask his opinion. It is probably because Draco is embarrassed that he feels entangled!
"I'll take you there, it's about Slytherin's honor, there's nothing to hesitate about."
Naylor was leading the way as he spoke, and the three of them looked at each other, and quickly suppressed the smiles on the corners of their mouths.
Coming to a wooden door, Naylor knocked on it.
Hearing the sound, Aaron quickly put the half-drawn magic circle into his pocket, and covered the clue wall and the temporary chicken coop by the way, before opening the door.
"Prefect, and Draco, what can you do?"
"That's right, Draco he..."
"I want to talk to you about something." Hermione immediately interrupted Naylor. Their time was limited, and it was a waste to ask about Quidditch tactics.
On the contrary, there was a look of regret in the eyes of Harry and Ron. If they could figure out Aaron's tactics in advance, then the next championship would be a certainty.
Aaron raised his eyebrows and let them in directly.
But Naylor didn't stay much longer, he could only do this, and Flint would be unhappy if he intervened in the Slytherin team.
"Tell me! Why do you want me?" Aaron asked sitting on a chair, "The three of you came here together."
"I just want to ask you about the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione said hesitantly, "Many people now say that you are the heir of Slytherin."
"The wind changed so quickly, shouldn't it be Harry Potter?"
"You are well aware of your reputation in Slytherin, and we prefer to believe that you are the heir."
"Hehe!" Aaron smiled contemptuously, "But I am obviously not, you should know, I have been looking into this matter after Halloween."
Hermione froze for a moment, then turned to look at Harry and Ron, feeling a little overwhelmed while relieved.
This is completely different from their assumptions, Aaron is not the real culprit behind the scenes, not even Draco Malfoy.
Harry couldn't accept that, if both of them were ruled out, he would be the only suspect left in Hogwarts.
"Isn't it really you? Then why do you appear at the crime scene every time?"
"Goyle, your attitude towards asking questions is exactly the same as Harry's. I don't seem to have any reason to answer you!"
"Don't be as knowledgeable as him, Aaron." Hermione said immediately, "Goyle actually hopes that you are the heir, so that the safety of Slytherin House is guaranteed."
"Cut!" Aaron pouted, "The friendship between Gaius and Slytherin can be traced back more than 1000 years ago, but I can be sure that I don't have any Slytherin blood in me."
"That's really... what a pity." Ron said softly, "Slytherin is a holy mage!"
"It's not that our family has never had a holy magister, it's nothing special." Aaron said indifferently, there are at least seven or eight holy magisters in the secret room of his house.
Is he proud?Is he proud?
Ron opened his mouth, a little speechless. In some respects, the Hermit family does have a stronger background than pure-blood families like them.
Harry kept winking at Hermione, who was immersed in astonishment.
Aaron wasn't the heir of Slytherin, which was great, but they couldn't have come for nothing!
With the identity of Draco Malfoy, many questions can be answered, and Aaron must have clues about the Chamber of Secrets, which cannot be missed.
Hermione came back to her senses, and looked at Aaron with some guilt, "Well... Actually, I also want to know why you can show up at the crime scene every time.
Don't tell me it's a coincidence!This kind of reason can also deceive Harry Potter. "
Harry: …
This sounds weird, but it does fit Malfoy's character.
"Okay!" Aaron hugged Abe on the table into his arms, and said proudly: "You also know its identity, my dragon cub is quite special, and can feel the killing intent to a certain extent.
It can feel every time the creature in the chamber is about to attack the student, so...you get the idea. "
Both Hermione and Ron looked at Harry involuntarily, complex emotions flashed in their eyes, there was blame, but more sympathy.
What is this called?
It's true that those times were no coincidence, but it's also true that Aaron was not the heir of Slytherin.
Harry also understood, he was so embarrassed that he could dig out a Hogwarts with his feet, and if there was a crack in the floor, he really wanted to get in right away.
However, just as he was thinking this way, his cheeks couldn't help twitching, because there was really a neat cut on the floor, which was tailor-made for him.
Harry quickly looked away from the slit.
"Then Aaron, have you found out who is the real murderer behind the scenes?" Hermione asked tentatively, "Or do you have any other clues?"
Aaron thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.
"Did you find it?" Harry slapped his thigh excitedly. If Ron hadn't knocked his arm from the side, he would probably have jumped up.
"You're overexcited, Goyle.
I just have some clues, and I'm still a long way from finding the heir of Slytherin. "Aaron said with a faint smile, feeling somewhat of a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Hogwarts has searched for the secret room for decades but failed to find it, but he found the real clue and even knew the identity of the monster in the secret room.
After the voice fell, the stone door slowly opened.
Both Harry and Ron looked at Hermione who read out the password in disbelief, "How do you know? Slytherin shouldn't tell others their password."
"Of course I guessed it." Hermione said a little excitedly, "I thought of a dozen passwords that can match Slytherin, but I didn't expect to succeed once. It seems that we are lucky."
