Chapter 629： Ginny's concerns

Chapter 629 Ginny's worries

"Harry, why didn't you go to Defense Against the Dark Arts class this afternoon?"

Harry hurried to the hall, and when he found his friend who was dining, Hermione put down the knife and fork, and looked up at him with a stern look.

"Wait..." Harry took a deep breath, and after he calmed down, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk about this first, I have something more important to tell you."

"What's up?"

Ron's inquiry was stopped by Hermione with eyes.

"follow me."

Harry signaled Hermione and Ron to find a place where no one was with him. Some things are not suitable to be said here.

Both Ron and Hermione noticed Harry's beckoning eyes, and obviously knew what Harry probably found, so they stopped talking nonsense, dropped their half-eaten dinner, and left the hall with Harry.

"Harry, tomorrow morning..."

Wood saw Harry, so he came over here, ready to explain to him about the morning training, but was interrupted by Harry.

"Wood, I have something to say later!"

Harry heard Wood calling him, so he casually said something perfunctory, and hurriedly left the hall with Hermione and Ron.

"What's up with him?"

Wood scratched his head, looked at the back of Harry leaving in a hurry, turned his head and asked Fred who was stuffing grilled sausages into his mouth.

"Probably something urgent, what do you want him for?" Fred asked casually, swallowing the food in his mouth.

"Come and inform him that he has morning exercises tomorrow morning." Wood was also speaking to Fred and George.

"Why do you have to put Quidditch training in the morning?"

Both Fred and George couldn't help frowning. If they had to get up from their comfortable beds early in the morning for training, it would be a torment.

Albert didn't care about the twins' complaints, anyway, he wasn't the one who needed to do morning exercises.

There is no doubt that his arrangement has taken effect.

He looked away from the backs of the three of them, and he was in a good mood.

Harry Potter has apparently successfully met Tom Riddle, and learned from him the "truth" that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago.

My plan was really an unexpected success, and Albert couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. The next step is...

His eyes inadvertently glanced at Ginny Weasley, who was not far away with a slightly pale face. He believed that Tom's diary would soon return to her hands.

If things go well, I believe it won't be long before Tom and the Basilisk will be on the road together.

"Remember to tell Harry about this for me later." Wood ignored Fred's and George's resentful gazes, waved his hand, turned and left.

"Why don't I go and talk to Harry!" Ginny stood up in a hurry, ignoring the food on the plate, and made an excuse for herself, and left in a hurry.

Almost no one noticed the strangeness on Ginny Weasley's face, except Albert, who had been secretly paying attention to her from the beginning.

At this moment, Harry, Ron, and Hermione had already passed through the hall and walked to a remote flower bed outside the courtyard. Seeing that there was no one around, Harry told the two partners the information he had obtained from Riddle's diary.

Hermione and Ron all showed surprised expressions after hearing Harry tell what he saw and heard in Riddle's memory.

Ron was surprised that Riddle's diary actually hid such a secret.

"Riddle may have caught the wrong person." Hermione withdrew her expression, "Albert told me that the students who were expelled back then were just scapegoats, and I dare say he must have found out that Hagrid was fifty years ago. The former student who was caught and expelled, that's why he didn't want to tell me about it."

"You mean..." Harry was surprised, "Albert already knew about this?"

"Yeah, he already knew." Hermione admired Albert's ability.

"Why does he think Hagrid is innocent?" Ron noticed the gazes from Harry and Hermione, and said hastily, "I mean he must have found some clues."

"He didn't say, he only said that Hagrid was framed." Hermione thought for a while and continued, "However, I can probably guess why he said Hagrid was framed."

"Why?"

Ron and Harry turned their heads to look at Hermione together. If Hagrid was just framed, it would make Harry feel much better. Harry absolutely did not believe that Hagrid was the culprit of the attack.

"If Hagrid hadn't been framed, do you think Dumbledore would have let him stay at school?"

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Hermione actually didn't think Hagrid would be able to find the entrance to the chamber of secrets, and according to Albert, opening the chamber of secrets might require the use of Parseltongue. Hagrid was clearly not a Parseltongue, and more importantly, Hagrid didn't look like the heir of Slytherin in any way.

If she wanted to find reasons, Hermione could find a bunch of them, and it wasn't hard for her to understand why Albert insisted that Hagrid was slandered.

It's just that it's not appropriate to use these words to convince Harry, so she borrowed Albert's original words.

With the wisdom of Professor Dumbledore, if Hagrid is really the culprit, will he keep such a dangerous person in the school?

Obviously not.

If Hagrid really opened the Chamber of Secrets, he would have been thrown into Azkaban Prison long ago!

I have to say that there are still many benefits to communicating with Albert occasionally.

Hermione's thinking has been further developed, far more flexible than Harry and Ron.

"But... who's framing Hagrid, Riddle?" Harry frowned.

"have no idea."

"Actually, I think Tom Riddle is quite a possibility." Ron said jokingly, "That guy is very similar to Percy - if sending the whole family to prison can make Percy the Minister of Magic, I dare say He would definitely do that without hesitation."

"Ron, I think you're very prejudiced against Percy." Hermione looked at Ron in surprise, as if meeting him for the first time.

"No, he would do that. What's more, the person who reported was a stranger like Hagrid. I don't doubt it at all. What's more, he won a gold medal, didn't he?" Ron continued: "If you open the secret room If the prisoner is me, Percy will definitely denounce me mercilessly and send me to Azkaban Prison."

Ron's terrible attitude towards Percy made Hermione frown.

"Actually, I can probably understand why Riddle did this." Harry said suddenly, "If they close Hogwarts, Riddle will go back to the Muggle orphanage, and I can understand his wish to stay here. "

After all, Harry also didn't want to go back to the Dursleys' house, so he could understand Riddle's thoughts very well.

"Someone is coming."

Hermione noticed that someone seemed to be walking towards this side secretly, and hurriedly sounded a reminder.

"Ginny, what are you doing there?" Ron looked at his sister in surprise.

"That..." Ginny said with a pale face, hesitating, "Wood said...tomorrow morning...for training, so I'll come..."

She ran away quickly.

"What is she talking about?" Harry looked at Ron in some confusion.

"Probably to tell you that the Quidditch team will have morning practice tomorrow." Hermione couldn't help raising her hand to support her head, feeling that Harry might be slow in some aspects.

Of course, it may be because the age has not yet reached the relationship.

"Should we ask Hagrid about these things?" Harry looked at the back of Ginny leaving in a hurry, and asked the opinions of the two friends.

He thought maybe Hagrid could give them some useful information.

No way, the clue is broken again.

"Maybe, we should talk to Albert, I think he may have more clues." Compared to asking Hagrid, Hermione felt that it was more reliable to go to Albert.

"Forget it!" Harry said after thinking twice: "Perhaps, the attacker has washed his hands forever."

After all, Harry never heard Parseltongue again, and it had been a long time since there was another attack. If this matter ended like this, it would not be unacceptable.

What's more, Professor Sprout told everyone a while ago that the mandrake is about to mature, and when the mandrake is mature, it will be formulated with a powerful recovery agent, and the unlucky Colin in the ward can come back to life. Knowing that there was an ugly basilisk hidden in the school, Harry believed that Dumbledore would definitely try his best to solve the problem of the basilisk, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.
