Chapter 111

The two of them were very busy.

"Dumbledore didn't ask for a deal... It seems he has a back-up plan..."

While thinking about the conversation in the principal's office, Argus walked towards the Slytherin common room.

"The Ministry of Magic will probably send someone to take Harry and Ron away tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"I just don't know if Fudge has the guts to confront Dumbledore."

"However, even if Harry and the others are captured, Dumbledore will try his best to get them out."

"After all, he is the one who will deal with Voldemort in the future."

"He will never let the Ministry of Magic fall on him."

While talking, Argus had already arrived at the Hogwarts library.

Originally, there were classes in the afternoon, and the four deans focused all their energy on dealing with this matter this morning.

The course will be postponed temporarily, and I will make up for it later when I have no class.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the library, I happened to run into Percy and the Weasley twins.

Percy saw Argus coming, hesitated for a moment, and still went to meet him.

"Argus, about what happened this morning..."

"Slytherin has almost dealt with this matter internally, how about you?"

Percy sighed deeply: "It's a pity that Gryffindor doesn't have a chief system."

"It's very fierce inside Gryffindor, I'm trying to solve it."

"We will have classes together in the future. If we don't handle it well, there will definitely be trouble later."

"Indeed."

Argus nodded in agreement, but his thoughts were completely opposite.

Didn't Dumbledore want to establish Slytherin as the public enemy of the whole school, and then help Harry build his reputation in the confrontation with Slytherin?

He can use this method, why can't he?

Gryffindor's ability to cause trouble is much stronger than Slytherin!

It's easy to get carried away with a little teasing.

In comparison, Slytherins are at best arrogant, and those who like to quarrel and fight are the minority.

"Argus, do you have a better idea? Let's discuss it in advance?"

"We can't really let them quarrel in class, right? If this goes on, the class won't be able to go on."

Percy looked at Argus for help.

"Sorry, I can't do anything about this."

Argus hoped that Gryffindor would quarrel, so he would never give him any advice.

Percy had expected this, and although he was disappointed, it was not much.

After a few simple words with Argus, he hurried to the Gryffindor lounge.

Argus was happy to be quiet, and walked into the library alone. As soon as he took out a book, he saw a familiar figure.

He was looking around at a table not far away.

When his eyes met Argus's, there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

He walked up quickly.

"Wait a minute, Ginny!"

Argus raised his hand to stop Ginny from approaching.

Ginny was confused by his actions.

Argus helplessly pointed to the Gryffindor members not far away.

They were staring at Argus, as if they wanted to eat him alive.

"Now you know?"

"The relationship between Slytherin and Gryffindor is very sensitive now. It's not good for you to be too close to me."

Ginny looked disappointed, took out a black diary from her backpack and handed it to the table.

"This is the diary I found in my bag. It seems that I took it by mistake."

"I asked Gryffindor, and no one lost anything. Please help ask the Slytherin people to see if anyone of them lost something."

Seeing Argus's strange eyes, Ginny thought he thought he had peeked, and hurriedly explained.

"Don't worry, I didn't open it, I just looked for the name."

"It's a pity that there's nothing written on it."

Of course I know there's nothing written on it.

The question is, who the hell asked you to take it back!

Argus felt like he was about to break apart.

He had been planning for so long, and finally sent the diary over.

But Ginny actually sent it back!

Wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain!

"I'm not worried that you've seen it, but I've asked the Slytherin members if they've lost anything. If so, please report it in advance and I'll communicate with Percy."

"But they checked it several times and didn't find anything missing."

"Maybe this diary was lost by an injured Gryffindor member?"

"That's right! I haven't asked the people in the school infirmary yet!" Ginny suddenly realized.

I couldn't help but blame myself.

I didn't use my brain when I wanted to talk.

At least

Think of a decent excuse!

What should I do? Argus saw through it immediately. Will he think I'm stupid...

Argus didn't know what Ginny was thinking. He only thought about how to let Ginny keep the diary.

A smile appeared on his face.

"It's just a diary. Maybe Merlin saw that you were innocently implicated and deliberately gave it to you as a gift."

"I guess its owner may not even remember it."

"No! No matter who it is, they will be anxious when they lose something. They should return it to the original owner."

Ginny felt that her behavior just now had reduced points in Argus's heart, and she was afraid that he would think she was a mercenary again.

She was determined to find the owner of the diary.

Argus saw it and was anxious in his heart.

Voldemort, can you help me?

After so long, you can't even deal with a little wizard who just entered school!

No wonder he was killed by a little kid like Harry!

He deserved it!

Argus was really afraid that Ginny would give the diary away.

After all, no one can tell whether there are people in Gryffindor who like to take advantage of others and just find an excuse to trick Ginny away.

At first, he wanted to find someone to throw the diary away.

But he soon realized that if Harry was not involved, Dumbledore would most likely solve it directly with his temper.

In this way, its effect would be greatly reduced.

Only by involving Harry would Dumbledore feel that this matter could be used as a test for Harry.

Only then would he have room for maneuver!

Those who could involve Harry and whose psychological defenses could be easily broken by Voldemort were nothing more than those few candidates.

After thinking about it, Ginny was the most suitable candidate.

On the one hand, she was Ron's sister, and Harry could not stand idly by if something happened.

On the other hand, there were cases in the original book, and Argus could confirm that Ginny would be controlled by Voldemort in a short period of time and cause some big things.

He thought about it and decided to accompany Ginny to ask in person.

Make sure the diary won't be taken away by others.

"I remember that the injured Slytherin members didn't ask either."

"If you don't mind, I can go to the infirmary with you to ask."

He put away the book he had just taken out, ignoring the murderous eyes of the Gryffindor people.

In Ginny's shy eyes, he walked with her towards the infirmary.

He just wanted to keep a distance from Ginny.

On second thought, it seemed that it was not bad for Ginny to be excluded by the Gryffindor members.

Perhaps, this would make it easier for her to be controlled by Voldemort...
