Chapter 147
The two of them were very close.
"Argus, do you know who the heir of Slytherin is?"
Draco deliberately lowered his voice and whispered in Argus's ear.
This mysterious look attracted the attention of Harry and Ron.
"Don't ask so many questions. I tell you, if you still have trouble taking exams like last year, don't blame me for giving you extra practice during the holidays."
Argus said those words just now just to attract Harry and Ron.
He didn't really want to make everything public.
Under Draco's pleading eyes, he got up and went to the classroom.
On the other side, Harry and Ron were having a heated discussion about Argus's words.
"Those two evil Slytherins have been sneaking around, I wonder what they are talking about."
"There must be some shameful secret!"
Ron bit a chicken leg hard, as if the chicken leg was made of Argus's meat.
His eyes were full of resentment.
"Is it about the Slytherin heir?"
"Argus and Draco are both pure-blood families, maybe there is some inside story that we don't know."
Harry was very happy about this.
If the Slytherin heir can really be found, his identity will be clear.
No longer need to be treated as a dark wizard all day long.
Ron was immediately upset when he heard this!
We are all pure blood, why do you know so much!
I have to be suspicious all day long like a fool!
Since Arthur Weasley was dismissed as the headmaster, the Weasley family's economy has plummeted.
Especially Ginny needs a large number of gold galleons to go to school.
This made the already poor family even worse off.
This also made Ron even more jealous of the wealthy behavior of Draco, Argus and others.
He stood up suddenly and slapped the table, instantly attracting the attention of all the Gryffindors.
Harry didn't expect him to do this, and pulled Ron's clothes hard to pull him off.
"What are you doing!"
Ron stared at Argus's departing back: "You're right, there must be an inside story!"
"We can't let them succeed!"
Harry was dumbfounded.
No, buddy, I said that they know the inside story, not that there is an inside story!
Your comprehension ability is a bit too poor!
"Wait a minute, Ron. Aurors and professors are investigating this matter. We don't need to..."
"Have you forgotten about Hagrid?"
Ron lowered his voice and said, "You are the biggest suspect now. Who knows if the Ministry of Magic will find someone to be a scapegoat like they did back then!"
"Think about it. Just based on the relationship between the two Slytherins' families and the Ministry of Magic, if they are really found out to be them, will the Ministry of Magic arrest them?"
"But...but if it is really Argus and the others, why would they say it in front of so many people?"
"Who knows what that evil Slytherin is thinking! If we didn't see him go to the third floor last year, what would have happened!"
Ron's mind was full of the scene where he was worshipped by countless people after he revealed the true identity of Argus and Draco.
He only wanted to investigate the truth as soon as possible.
But he also knew that it would be difficult for him to find out the truth by himself.
There was only a slight possibility if Harry was brought along and Harry's invisibility cloak was used.
Harry hesitated.
On the one hand, he didn't want to believe that Argus and Draco would do such a thing, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would really become a scapegoat like Hagrid.
He couldn't help shuddering when he thought of the scene of himself guarding the Forbidden Forest alone like Hagrid in the future.
"What are you going to do?"
Ron immediately became excited when he heard Harry's words.
"There are so many people in the castle hall, they will definitely not say any useful information."
"We use your invisibility cloak and sneak into the Slytherin lounge with them."
"We will definitely find useful clues!"
"But we only have one invisibility cloak?" Harry frowned.
"Don't worry about this, the evil Malfoy has already joined the evil Slytherin, we just need to keep an eye on the evil Slytherin."
Ron patted his chest, as if he was about to arrest Argus.
Harry wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ron.
"Harry, only if we catch the heir of Slytherin ourselves can we truly clear your suspicion."
"Do you really want to be wrongly accused for decades like Hagrid?"
This sentence completely confirmed Harry's intention to investigate.
The two looked at each other, put down the food in their hands, and chased in the direction of Argus.
…
Today, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a lot of classes for the second year, three full classes.
They didn't finish until the afternoon.
Argus clearly felt that two eyes were following him.
He could guess what the two wanted without thinking.
In order to prevent them from losing track, he deliberately told others that he would go to the library next.
After staying in the library for about half an hour, the familiar feeling of being watched came again.
Argus resisted the urge to use the quick appearance, pretending to know nothing, and continued to read.
He didn't leave the library until the dinner was approaching.
"Mr. Grindelwald, good evening!"
Just when Argus was about to go to the hall for dinner, he ran into Filch.
Not far away, Alan Mitchell and a group of Aurors were patrolling. Hearing the noise, he thought Argus was in trouble and hurried over to help him out.
"Good evening, Mr. Filch." Argus saluted politely.
Turning to look at Alan and others: "Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Aurors, good evening."
"I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"
Aurors have been stationed at Hogwarts for some time, so it is normal for Argus to call out Alan Mitchell's name.
Being too unfamiliar will make it seem unnatural and easy to arouse suspicion.
When Alan Mitchell was about to respond, he suddenly noticed something unusual behind Argus.
He raised his eyebrows and quietly reached for the wand with his right hand.
But Argus stopped him with his eyes!
He understood.
He pretended to ask a few questions, and then took the Aurors to continue patrolling other places.
Ron behind him saw this scene and became more and more excited.
Shaking Harry's arm: "See, Harry!"
"That evil Slytherin must have a problem, otherwise why would the Auror come to question him!"
"I think what he said in the hall is just a thief crying thief! Deliberately let others think he is confident!"
Harry's eyes also had a little more suspicion.
Nodding.
"Look, he's leaving, let's follow him!"
Ron noticed that Argus was leaving, and hurriedly pulled Harry to chase him.
In order to give Harry and Ron time to escape from the lounge, Argus only ate a few bites and left the hall.
The three of them came all the way from the Hogwarts Castle Hall to the Slytherin Lounge.
After entering the lounge, Argus was not in a hurry to return to the dormitory.
The many magics arranged in his dormitory were not something Harry and his friends could solve.
If you are not careful, it will be a problem whether you can get out alive!
Fortunately, there was no one in the Slytherin Lounge at the moment.
Leave enough space for Argus.
He took out a few books and newspapers from his bag.
Among them was the report written by Rita about the petrification incident at Hogwarts.
He pretended to glance at it accidentally and chuckled.
"Hagrid's injustice was redressed, but what about the little witch who died that year!"
"She can only guard the bathroom on the first floor alone."
"Who else has ever felt sorry for her..."
