Chapter 53 053. Eddie's reaction and decision

The Scott and Weasley twins held hands together and smiled at each other.

Fred and George were both a little excited, and they obviously regarded this event as an unprecedented event.

"We have to find the 'Heir of Slytherin' hidden in Hogwarts, which is obviously very challenging."

George was the first to let go of his hand, then held his chin with his hand, pretending to be thinking seriously.

"The so-called 'heir' must be hiding deep."

Fred also retracted his hand and pretended to push up the non-existent glasses on his face.

He said: "We must find a clever way to expose the hidden 'heir' himself!"

"Have the initiative, that's what I think too." Scott said with a smile, "We can't wait until the so-called 'heir' commits another crime, and then chase after him for clues."

"It seems you already have some ideas?" Fred understood immediately and laughed too.

"I have some ideas."

Scott nodded, then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"But we need to go back to the college common room first. What happens tonight...the professors may go to check the ward." He said to the twins, "We'd better come out later, let's make an appointment at 1 o'clock in the morning. , still in this classroom.”

"It's already past 9pm."

George looked down at the pocket watch in Scott's hand, then reached out and patted Fred on the shoulder.

"We have to get back to Gryffindor Tower first so Percy can see us before bed."

Fred immediately showed an uncomfortable expression, "Otherwise he will write to his mother to complain? Oh! He will indeed do that!"

"Then see you at 1 o'clock in the morning, Scott." George said to Scott mysteriously, "You still don't know, we have a huge advantage in this matter that no one else has, a secret weapon!"

Fred looked at George with a serious look, "Brother, have you decided to show that secret weapon to Scott?"

"This is necessary, isn't it?" George looked at him.

"It is!" Fred laughed, "and I always look forward to the day when I can shock someone with it."

"Exactly what I thought." George blinked.

The two of them smiled mysteriously at Scott, "Stay tuned!"

Scott returned to the dormitory, only to find that none of his roommates were there. So he went to the bathroom to wash away the aroma of the food from the dinner party.

When he approached the dormitory again with wet hair, Eddie was already back.

He was sitting on the bed arranging his "merchandise", and turned to look at Scott after hearing the noise.

"Scott, why don't you put on your pajamas after you take a shower?" He asked casually at first, then quickly responded, "Are you going out later?"

"That's right."

Scott walked to his bed and put down the basket of dirty clothes in his hand.

"Could it be that you've also started dating?" Eddie asked with great interest, "Is she a girl from our college?"

"Not a date."

Scott turned around and sat on the single sofa in front of the window, using a drying spell on his hair.

He said to Eddie: "The Weasley twins and I are going to find out the so-called 'Heir of Slytherin'. Moreover, my plan also requires your participation, Eddie."

Eddie stopped moving his hands and turned his head to look at him in surprise, "Isn't that what Potter did?"

"Of course not." Scott said, "I have sensed magic, and I am certain that it was some very powerful dark magic that petrified the cat. Potter couldn't do it."

Eddie said stiffly: "I thought the cat was dead, but who knows? You know, Potter defeated the mysterious man when he was born."

"He is special, isn't he?" He said more and more enthusiastically, "Maybe Potter is the destined new Dark Lord? And he has awakened now..."

Scott looked at him speechlessly until he changed his words.

"Okay, okay, you're right." Eddie raised his hands in surrender, "Potter is a stupid boy at first glance."

He put down the inferior glass bottle in his hand, "Of course I believe you, Scott. But..."

He looked worried.

"Why do you still want to investigate this matter if you know it is powerful and evil black magic? This is not like you at all."

Scott reminded in a calm tone, "You know the rumors about the 'Slytherin Chamber', Eddie."

"Of course I know!"

Eddie suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.

Scott looked at his expression and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. Eddie, who has been keen on digging out all kinds of gossip all year round, is very sensitive to information.

"You mean..." Eddie's tone was a little uncertain, "No matter whether the content of the message on the wall on the third floor is true or false, the person who did it may be targeted based on the secret room rumors. A Muggle-born wizard?"

"I think so."

Scott answered in the affirmative.

"Due to our background, this matter may be a crisis for us, and we must take the initiative." He said seriously.

Eddie still said hesitantly: "If it's like you said, it's dangerous to investigate this matter, Scott."

He even began to persuade Scott, "We all know that Principal Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick are already handling this matter, and we should trust them."

"Don't worry, Eddie."

Scott brushed his hair, which had become dry again, and put down the wand in his hand.

"There will be no danger." He said with a smile, "My plan is not to have a head-on duel with the hidden 'heir', but to find a way to expose his flaws."

He stood up, took out a clean black cloak from the closet, and continued to say to Eddie: "And what you have to do is even simpler."

He turned and looked at Eddie, "You just need to cooperate with Weasley and I's actions at night and spread a rumor among the students as quickly as possible after dawn tomorrow."

"Are you sure you and those two Weasleys won't be in danger?" Eddie looked at him suspiciously.

"I am sure."

Scott put on his cloak, picked up a pair of gloves and put them on, and said with a smile: "We are just going to leave another line under the message of 'Heir'."

"What?"

Eddie asked curiously.

"of course……"

Scott put on his gloves, walked over and said softly.

Eddie's eyes widened and he asked in an uncertain tone: "Is this like this?...Is that okay?"

Scott smiled, "Oh, don't worry, the twins and I won't let others catch us."

Eddie shook his head, "No, I mean those people from Slytherin House might..."

"Believe me, Eddie. They can't do it." Scott said confidently.

"What about Professor Snape?" Eddie asked again.

However, it can be seen from his expression that he is already eager to give it a try.

"So I asked you to spread rumors among students as quickly as possible." Scott emphasized, "Let the professors hear the news slower."

Eddie finally threw away his worries and smiled confidently.

"I know, I can do it," he said.
