Chapter 115
The basilisk was released during school hours!
At that time, Myrtle was killed, and Hagrid was blamed, causing Hagrid to be expelled!
He didn't believe that Dumbledore, who had been in charge of Hogwarts for so many years, would not notice this!
He thought so in his heart, but his expression did not change at all.
He replied calmly: "Professor Dumbledore, I was in the library this afternoon and saw these on the way back to the dormitory."
"There should be many people in the library who have seen me, and they can all testify for me."
"Mrs. Pince also has an impression of me."
"Who knows if you deliberately stayed in the library for a long time and then found an opportunity to run out early." Ron's muttering was not loud, but the people present heard it clearly.
At this time, the students of Hogwarts had not completely left, and many people heard this sentence.
He couldn't help but look at Argus.
The fear in his eyes became more obvious.
His steps were a little faster, as if he was afraid that Argus would notice them.
Argus sneered, and his words did not leave Ron any face.
"Mr. Weasley, if I were you, I would think before I speak."
"For this kind of question, just ask the students in the library and compare the time I appeared to judge."
"Besides, there are so many people in the library. Can I avoid one, ten or a hundred?"
Ron's face turned blue and red. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to start.
Harry saw that Argus had gotten rid of suspicion, and was afraid that he would be suspected, so he hurried to explain.
"Principal, it's not me! I have never touched Mrs. Norris, I swear!"
"Nonsense!" Filch was so angry that his hair almost stood up.
"Filch, calm down." Dumbledore was troubled by Filch's attitude.
In this case, Filch's attitude is extremely critical to the influence of other young wizards.
"In my opinion, Principal." Snape suddenly spoke up and interrupted the conversation between several people.
"Perhaps Mr. Potter and his friends really just happened to be here."
Harry and Ron looked at each other, unable to believe that Snape would speak for them.
But Snape's next words made them believe again.
Snape is still Snape.
"With the magic level of Mr. Potter and his friends, it is estimated that they may not even be able to cast the levitation spell smoothly."
"Not to mention the more difficult petrification spell."
Although Harry and Ron were unwilling, they could only stare at Snape angrily.
Lockhart jumped out again to show his presence.
"I can also prove it for Mr. Potter!"
"Harry has been with me tonight, helping me to reply to my fans."
"I just came out from Professor Sprout and came to find Harry!"
Seeing that Harry and Argus both had ways to prove their innocence, Ron became anxious.
He spoke quickly, fearing that he would become the target of everyone.
While speaking, he looked at Professor Sprout as if asking for help.
Professor Sprout gave him a soothing look, indicating that he would help him prove it.
"Until there is evidence to prove their guilt, all of them are innocent."
Dumbledore knew that he would not get anything out of asking further.
This sentence was the final conclusion of the whole matter.
Filch was not relenting and roared: "But my cat was petrified!"
"I want to see someone punished!"
"Mr. Filch, we will cure her." Dumbledore maintained his usual attitude.
"As far as I know, Professor Sprout has cultivated very healthy mandrakes."
"When they mature and the antidote is made, Mrs. Norris can be restored."
Professor Sprout nodded repeatedly and assured Filch.
Dumbledore did not give Filch a chance to get angry again, and said directly: "During this period, I suggest that everyone act with caution."
"Remember this!"
After a thorough analysis, none of them were suspected of committing a crime.
Dumbledore comforted Filch a few more times and let them leave.
When Argus returned to the Slytherin common room.
He found that everyone was waiting for his return.
"Chief! Are you okay?"
"Did Harry Potter and the others
"We just heard that Potter and Weasley have been trying to throw dirty water on you!" A group of people chattered, but their words were full of concern. "I'm sorry to make everyone worry about me." "Don't worry, I'm fine." Argus responded with a smile. "Chief!" "What's wrong?" "Are you... the heir of Slytherin?" This sentence attracted the attention of all Slytherins. Expectation, fear, doubt... Many complex colors gathered on Argus. Argus smiled, turned his head, and looked around. "You all want to know, right?" No one spoke, but everyone had already expressed it with their eyes. Yes! "I'm sorry to disappoint you." Argus shook his head: "I'm really not the heir of Slytherin. "
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed disappointment on their faces.
For Slytherin wizards, the founder of the academy is simply a mythical existence.
Being his successor is what everyone dreams of.
Even if they fail to become it, the head of the academy is the successor of Slytherin, which is also worth their excitement.
What a pity... Alas!
Aware of everyone's disappointment, Agus spoke again.
The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
"Don't be disappointed about this."
"Instead of chasing these illusory things, it is better to focus on the textbooks in front of you, step by step, and you may become a well-known wizard in the magic world."
Agus looked at everyone and continued: "Such a big thing happened tonight. As the head of the academy, I have to issue a few orders for this."
"From today on, no one is allowed to leave the lounge at night. If possible, it is best to stay in the dormitory. "
"Second, no one is allowed to act alone unless necessary. For students in confinement, I will communicate with the dean and suspend your punishment."
"Third, the heads of each grade should do a good job of supervision and report any situation to the dean or professors in a timely manner."
"Except Professor Lockhart!"
"Do you understand?"
The Slytherins replied in unison: "Understood!"
Agus nodded and was about to return to the dormitory when a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Head, are you really willing! Among the Slytherins, you are the most qualified to inherit the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets!"
"Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?" Agus chuckled, with a confident arc at the corner of his mouth.
"I never need to inherit Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."
"Give me time, I will surpass Slytherin!"
