Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 50 The Unexpected Suspect

On the second night of the Dueling Club, the long table in the Hogwarts kitchen was full of people. There were all kinds of oriental-style snacks and side dishes on the long table. Everyone present was given a bowl of snake Soup.

After a whole day of cooking, the snake soup in the pot is fragrant and delicious.The house elves used magic to separate the snake meat and chicken bones in the soup, and then let the snake bones and chicken bones fly out of the pot, so that people would not worry about being stuck in the neck by the snake and chicken bones.

On this snowy night, a bowl of fragrant snake soup will definitely make people feel warm and comfortable from the inside to the outside.

Although the logo of Slytherin House is a snake, the Slytherin students here are also enjoying themselves.

Although many students were eating and talking, the atmosphere in the kitchen was generally dull.

The reason is that this morning, Badger House student Justin Fletcher was attacked along with the ghost Nick.

It was Peeves who first spotted them.Amidst Peeves' screams, the students and professors who were attending classes around the scene of the crime arrived quickly.

Everyone saw that Justin Fletcher was lying on the floor, his whole body was cold and stiff, a terrified expression was frozen on his face, and his eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.As for Nick, he was no longer milky and transparent, but black and smoky, lying flat and motionless, suspended six inches above the ground.His head fell under the corner of the corridor, with the same terrified expression on his face as Justin.

After dinner, everyone in the "tea time after school" re-examined the crime scene, but found nothing new. They could only confirm that it was the same murderer who attacked Colin together.

After surveying the scene, everyone went to the kitchen and continued to analyze the attack while drinking the snake soup that had been boiled last night.

After everyone had eaten and drank enough, the house elves put away their soup bowls and served everyone a cup of warm ginger and brown sugar tea.

At this time, everyone started to discuss enthusiastically. After a while, two students began to organize everyone to discuss together.

The first question, what is the monster in the chamber of secrets.

It turned out that everyone preliminarily confirmed that it was a basilisk, but today this guess has been finally confirmed.

It was Percy Weasley who made this confirmation, much to Zhang Xu's surprise.

Since Ginny's attack, Percy has been very active in investigating, writing letters to many Weasley relatives asking for help.

Later, a member of the Weasley family mentioned a record in his family library in his letter to Percy. Hundreds of years ago, a dark wizard tried to use a basilisk to assassinate a witch. The witch who was looking in the mirror was petrified.

Based on this morning's attack, Percy came to a conclusion.

"Whoever the basilisk looks at with its eyes dies. But this time no one died because none of them looked directly at it. Mrs. Norris just wandered from Moaning Myrtle's bathroom." The reflection is seen in the puddle of water coming out. Colin sees it through the camera, the basilisk burnt the film in the camera. Justin sees the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. So they were all petrified, but not killed. Nick was stared at by the basilisk, but he couldn't die a second time. And Ginny was attacked at the beginning, it should be because she saw the Before releasing the basilisk, the heir of Slytherin found out about the action of the man who was about to release the basilisk, and was attacked

. said Percy at last.

Everyone in the kitchen nodded, agreeing with Percy's statement.

Even Zhang Xu had to admire Percy's cleverness, which he had analyzed.

Then, everyone began to discuss who is the heir of Slytherin.

"I think it's Draco Malfoy." Harry said first, "From the perspective of blood, the Malfoy family is undoubtedly a pure-blood family, and their family is very hostile to Muggles. This summer, Draco Malfoy's father Lucius Malfoy was defeated by Mr. Granger, the father of a Muggle Hermione Granger, in the Lishen Bookstore in Diagon Alley. During the Quidditch training this year, Draco Malfoy once for insulting Hermione Granger's lineage triggered a brawl between the two colleges, during which Draco Malfoy's nose was bleeding from Hermione Granger. When Mrs. Norris was attacked for the first time, it was Draco again Malfoy was the first to speak out. Since the Malfoy father and son were defeated by the Granger father and daughter since this summer vacation, the Malfoy family had reason to release the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets out of shame and massacre the Muggle descendants in the school. Student. Everyone should know Draco Malfoy's character, he is a person who can't hide his thoughts, and everyone should be able to see the change in his attitude after the first attack."

After Harry finished speaking, everyone was speechless for a while, thinking that what he said seemed quite reasonable.

Zhang Xu has nothing to say about this, such two guys who love and kill each other are really in love.It's a pity that classmate Xiao Ma has never come to the party here, otherwise it must be very interesting now.

But after discussing for a while, Harry's statement was rejected.Because many students of the magic family can guarantee that the Malfoy family has no blood of the Slytherin family.After all, bloodline research is a very serious subject in the magic world, and there must be no mistakes.

In the end, even Ron, who was in charge of blood in Harry's trio, nodded, and Harry fell silent.

Then, a student of the Eagle Academy proposed a candidate who he thought was possible, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, who was unexpected to everyone.

The student's reason is simple, because this semester, Lockhart's performance is too far from the performance in his autobiography, not only can't even solve the Cornish elf, but also scared the whole person by Zhang Xu All stupid.Moreover, he behaved unprofessionally in class, just doing empty stage performances according to the scriptures in class, and when students asked questions, he always talked about him, always avoiding questions.His performance is easily reminiscent of the annual boss Quirrell of the previous school year.

As soon as this man's argument was thrown out, all the students present were blown away.

After some discussions, the more everyone discussed, the more they felt that there was something wrong with Lockhart, and even a brainless fan like Hermione began to waver.

In the end, everyone agreed that there were several possibilities.Perhaps the real Lockhart has been subcontracted, and now the Lockhart at Hogwarts is a fake.Maybe Lockhart was controlled by someone during the trip.Perhaps Lockhart colluded with the true heir of Slytherin and used the man's token to control the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets.

So everyone began to arrange to start a secret investigation of Lockhart. According to the locations of various events in Lockhart's autobiography, they arranged for the families of students living nearby to conduct investigations, and visited every person who appeared in the book.Zhang Xu was in charge of the investigation of the Tibetan snowman incident.

The development of the matter left Zhang Xu speechless, and the wheel of history gradually rolled towards a ditch.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xu gave up thinking, let's talk about it after this Christmas holiday.
