Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Chapter 40 Exclusion of Suspicion

Halloween is coming, but Harry's mood is a little down. He feels that he has accepted the invitation of Nick, who is almost headless. He, Ron, and Hermione are going to the death party for the ghosts. He saw the school The rest of the students were happily attending the Halloween banquet. The auditorium was gorgeously decorated. Fire bats adorned the entire hall. Huge pumpkins from Hagrid were carved into lanterns, which were big enough for three people to sit. in. It was also rumored that Dumbledore had ordered a troupe of skeleton dancers to keep everyone entertained. All these made him regret, and his intuition told him that these were more interesting than the death anniversary party, and in fact it was.

As soon as you say it, the horse is hard to chase. Hermione reminded Harry, You said you were going to the death party.

Except for Slytherin, the other three houses have honesty and trustworthiness as virtues, so although some reluctance, Harry still abides by his agreement.

Then they saw hundreds of milky-white, translucent ghosts floating in the classroom, waltzing with the harsh sound of thirty musical saws, and thousands of candles lit on a chandelier, bursting with oozing Blu-ray.

They decided to look elsewhere, they almost came across crying Myrtle, but Hermione reminded them in time, so they came to the other end of the basement. Ron exclaimed excitedly, because he saw a long dining table covered with black velvet, but as they approached they invariably covered their noses.

Food for ghosts can't be expected to be normal, as they can't eat at all, they seem to just pass their mouths through the food they need, and treat it like they've eaten it. So Harry and Ron and the others could see a lot of rotten meat, dark, charred cakes, and a lot of maggot-infested haggis, which they guessed might have been stored for a long time and reused. many times.

Then Peeves came and made trouble again, and made Myrtle cry, and then they talked to Nick for a few more words, and they couldn't stand the atmosphere because they felt it was too cold here, and Harry even more Hungry, Ron's teeth kept chattering.

I feel something is wrong. I always feel that someone is watching me. I thought it was a ghost just now, but it is definitely not now. There is no ghost here. Harry looked around a few times, trying to find something, But got nothing.

Stop thinking about it, Harry, said Ron. It's just an illusion that you're too hungry. Let's go back to the party.

The pudding probably isn't over yet, said Ron hopefully, leading the way down the steps leading to the hall.

Then Harry heard it.

.. tear you.. tear you.. kill you..

It was the voice again, the cold, murderous voice he had heard in Lockhart's office.

Lockhart always told him to go to the office to write back to his admirers, and a few times before, he had always heard such gloomy words, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his instinct told him that the speaker and the The person watching him just now was not alone.

He staggered to a stop, grabbed the stone wall, and listened intently, looking around, squinting up and down the dimly lit aisles.

Harry, what are you doing—

He kept following the voice, and suddenly he heard the voice becoming more and more gloomy, even if he heard only a few words, Harry could feel the bloodthirsty desire of the owner of the voice.

He's going to kill! Harry suddenly felt a sense of fear and excitement in his heart. He sprinted around the third floor, Ron and Hermione followed behind panting, and the three of them kept running. , and finally turned a corner and came to the last empty aisle.

on the wall before them,

Something is shining. They approached slowly, squinting to make out in the dark. Between the two windows, on the wall one foot above the ground, some handwriting was smeared, and the emblem glowed under the reflection of the burning torches.

The Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

What's that -- hanging down there? Ron said, his voice shaky.

They approached cautiously, and Harry almost slipped: there was a big pool of water on the ground. Ron and Hermione grabbed him and moved closer to the sign, their eyes fixed on the dark shadow below. The three of them saw what it was at the same time, jumped back in fright, and splashed a splash of water.

Then they saw the petrified Mrs. Norris, the janitor's cat, with her tail hanging from the torch's bracket, her body as stiff as a plank, her eyes wide and staring. The three stood motionless for a few seconds, and then Ron said, Let's get out of here. Should we try to save— Harry said in a sloppy voice. Listen to me, said Ron. We don't want to be discovered here.

But it was too late. A low noise, like thunder in the distance, told them that the banquet had just ended. From both ends of the corridor where they were located, there were the sounds of hundreds of feet ascending the stairs, as well as the happy high-pitched chatter and laughter of people after they had had enough to eat. Then the students shoved into the aisle from both ends.

When the person in front saw the cat hanging upside down, the lively, chattering sound suddenly disappeared. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood alone in the middle of the hallway, and the students fell silent, crowding in to watch the horrific scene.

Harry's lips were dry. He looked at the cat that was still and stiff. He didn't know what to say to explain. There were only the three of them at the scene. It seemed that any unnecessary words were so pale and feeble. Filch walked over.

Three suspects have been ruled out. Malfoy under the phantom curse could only comfort himself like this. He stood by and watched everything in front of him coldly. Before, he had also experienced a carnival of ghosts with them. He originally wanted to get to the scene before the three, but overestimated his speed. He had to spend more energy to maintain the spell, and perhaps avoid being discovered by Peeves.

It's time to go. Thinking like this, he went back to the place where the ghosts gathered. He was not confident that he could maintain this magic in front of so many people without being discovered. Dumbledore was not an ordinary student. .

With so many students, the elimination method is really not a good choice. He couldn't help but have a headache. Voldemort's soul fragment was attached to the object. This is a magical object created by the most powerful dark wizard in history, so he must To deal with it with 120,000 points of energy, it can be seen from Ginny's performance that the diary has a strong fascination for those who have some problems in their hearts. Voldemort can be said to have insight into people's hearts when he was a student. Gaining the trust of almost everyone, he only needs a few light guides to open up his heart and let him do whatever he wants.

The first victim was Mrs. Norris, he remembered, so he chose to follow the trio on Halloween, hoping to find some clues, but due to his own negligence and miscalculation of the difficulty of the spell, he missed the first An opportunity to get leads.

Well, it's a good thing they're all excluded.

Now that the butterfly effect has begun to play its role, he will not let any suspicious person go. If he really talks about the problem in his heart, in fact, the iron triangle is not small.

Harry, whose parents died when he was a child, was fostered in his uncle's house. It can be said that he grew up being abused since he was a child. Under such treatment, he was reversed after being admitted to Hogwarts and became the savior in the mouths of wizards, but But he knew that he was just a very ordinary boy, and his talent for magic was quite satisfactory, maybe a little bit more? He was under a lot of pressure and even hated their names.

Some children feel disgust at the praise of their parents and elders. These are harsh words to them, because they feel that they are not worthy of these praises, which makes them feel ashamed.

And under this sense of shame, Harry wanted to prove himself, not just Quidditch, but he also hoped that he could be worthy of the title of Savior in other aspects.

Imagine, if Riddle in the diary taught him a lot of magic tricks that he had summed up, and made his class progress by leaps and bounds, perhaps the person who was bewitched would become the protagonist. Of course, it is also possible that his inner sense of justice can overwhelm these desires. Who can tell?

Ron, uh, as the youngest brother, he had to be compared to his older brothers, and the same problem with Ginny was that he also had to use the leftovers, and poverty can easily destroy a person One of the elements of the car, even Harry, who looked poor and white at first, is actually a hidden rich man. He has a large inheritance and can buy all the snacks he needs in the car without paying attention. Maybe in a flash, Ron would be jealous of Harry. Like other boys of the same age, he also wanted to be watched. It was obvious in the Mirror of Erised, but he didn't have the ability to match it, which was enough to make him feel miserable.

Just think, the diary only needs to evoke some jealousy and fear in him, and it is enough for him to succeed.

People are sometimes fragile and sometimes tenacious, and most people know how to regulate their emotions, so Harry and Ron are still brave and strong most of the time.

As for Hermione, a wizard of Muggle origin, she should have been filled with fear and wonder when she first entered the wizarding world, more of the former than the latter in the first moments, but when she found herself more When the child is still more powerful, the former is not so much, but she is still distressed, because she finds that she cannot handle the relationship with her friends well. Friends and school rules are always full of contradictions before, and she occasionally unintentional. Lifting will always make people feel proud, which will always hinder their friendship, intentionally or not.

Of course, under someone's unintentional loss, there may be more of the usual troubles of a girl's adolescence.

Thinking of this, Malfoy let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes he wondered if it would be better for him to be a pure-blood worshipper in a step-by-step manner, and then go against Harry and the others according to the original trajectory, and then scold Hermione for two mudbloods. In this way, the trajectory of history will not deviate, and I may have a tragedy in the sixth and seventh grades for two years, and then I can live a pampered life after Voldemort's defeat.

Of course, this was just a thought. He laughed at himself, amused by the thought in his mind just now, his thoughts began to drift away again, and he began to think.
