Chapter 154 The Legend of the Secret Chamber

"Ahem!" Aaron coughed, "What are you doing?"

The three of them shuddered, feeling as if they had made a mistake and were caught. They were relieved only after realizing that it was Aaron's voice.

Harry saw Aaron coming over and asked nervously, "Did you hear a hoarse voice just now?"

Aaron pretended to think for a while, then shook his head, "No, I didn't hear anything."

Harry subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Then why are you here?"

"I was going back to the dormitory to sleep, and I happened to find that the stairs were covered with water stains, so I came here to take a look." Aaron looked at the three of them meaningfully, "You are enough. You didn't go to the Halloween party, but you did this kind of prank. Filch will be very angry if he finds out."

"This is not a prank." Ron said anxiously.

"Really?" Aaron raised his eyebrows, then looked at the bloody words on the wall, "The door to the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the heirs, beware.

Tsk tsk tsk! It smells bloody, these words were written not long ago.

When I came, only you were here, who else could it be but you?"

"It's really not us." Harry said, "We just got here too."

"Okay, no need to explain, isn't it just a sentence?

Although this prank is a bit bad, it's really nothing compared to driving a car to school."

Aaron didn't think Harry and the others would be so bored as to write bloody words, but this was after all the place where the unknown dangerous creature had stayed.

In addition to the bloody words on the wall and the water stains on the ground, it might be the so-called first crime scene.

If you want to get yourself out of this perfectly, you can only put yourself in the perspective of an ordinary passerby, and then pretend to be confused.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, as if they could see a big pot on each other's backs.

"Ah..."

Hermione suddenly screamed and pointed at the torch holder on the wall, "What is that?"

The other three looked over and saw a black cat hanging on the holder. Its whole body was stiff, as if it had been hit by a petrifying spell.

But the real situation was definitely more serious than this, because the petrifying spell only made the person who was cursed unable to move, but all senses were still functioning.

But its eyes were motionless, as if it was really dead, and it was the kind that died with its eyes open.

"Mrs. Norris, the cat that Filch cherished the most." Aaron swallowed his saliva and carefully reached out to feel its breath. "It's not breathing, but its state is very strange. I can't be sure if it's really dead."

After saying that, Aaron looked at the three people with a surprised face, "You didn't do this too?"

The three shook their heads immediately. Although they didn't like Filch, they didn't take it out on a cat, let alone such a vicious method.

"I don't think it was you who did it.

This effect, which is even more perverted than the petrification spell, is not something that wizards of our age can do." Aaron said, and he had some guesses in his mind.

This is probably the work of that unknown dangerous creature. The words on the wall may not have been done by it, because Abe guessed that it was not human, but Mrs. Norris's petrification was definitely related to it.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but frowned. The situation might be more complicated than he thought. There might be someone in Hogwarts cooperating with this creature.

"Aaron, what are you thinking about?" Hermione asked.

"I'm thinking I have to leave here as soon as possible." Aaron said bluntly, "I advise you to leave quickly. Staying at the crime scene is not a wise choice. Generally speaking, you will be regarded as a suspect."

"Should we try to rescue her?" Harry looked at Mrs. Norris with some reluctance, and his tone of voice was a little unclear.

Aaron looked at him deeply, then gave him a meaningful smile, "Goodbye."

"I think we should listen to him." Ron said.

Harry nodded, but before he could act, low noises and dense footsteps came from both sides of the corridor.

Aaron looked at the dense figures getting closer and closer in front of him, cursed in his heart, and quickly retreated.

"Why are you back again?"

"You ask even though you know it." Aaron rolled his eyes at Ron, "The dinner is over. I shouldn't have wasted time here if I had known."

"Yeah!" Hermione shrugged with some sympathy, "One step late."

"One step late, but the situation is not too bad.

At least compared to you, my suspicion is still very low." Aaron said meaningfully.

Soon, both ends of the corridor were crowded with students.

They looked at the four people in the center and Mrs. Norris who was hung upside down on the torch stand, and tacitly stopped the joy after the banquet.

"This scene reminds me of last year's Halloween." Aaron said speechlessly.

Colin in the crowd saw this scene and picked up the camera involuntarily, but before he could take a picture, Percy quietly pressed it.

"Aaron, why are you here?" Draco looked at the other three in astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't think too much.

You forgot what I just said about going back to the dormitory to sleep early. I only came a few minutes earlier than you.

The situation I saw was similar to yours, except that there was no me."

Draco heard this and suddenly realized.

He first gave Aaron an awkward but polite smile to apologize, and then looked at the Slytherin prefect and said, "What Aaron said is true, I can testify, and many people can testify."

"I didn't say I didn't believe him." The Slytherin prefect said, and then waved to Aaron, "Gaius, I don't think you are suitable to stand with them now."

"The prefect is wise." Aaron gave a thumbs up and walked into the students without hesitation.

"Naylor, it's not appropriate for you to do this!" Percy said a little unhappy.

"We have witnesses." Naylor said indifferently, "You know what kind of person I am. I have never favored any Slytherin, but I will not let any Slytherin suffer injustice."

"The prefect is domineering."

"Stop it. I have never seen you flatter me so much." Naylor said speechlessly, "From last year to now, you have only nodded at most when you saw me."

"It's a different time now!" Aaron said with a grin.

Harry and others looked at this scene dumbfounded. Aaron took himself out, which was too childish!

The three people's eyes met, and finally tacitly turned their eyes to Percy.

Percy shook his head in embarrassment, indicating that he could not help.

It is true that the prefect has certain rights, but he cannot use his power for personal gain without reason.

What's more, there are so many people watching here. Unless Harry also has witnesses or sufficient alibis, he can only handle the matter impartially.

But the three of them did not attend the banquet tonight, which was a flaw in the first place, not to mention that they were at the crime scene at this time. It is estimated that few people would believe it as a coincidence.

"Enemies of the heirs, be careful." Draco looked at the bloody words on the wall, as if he thought of something and slowly turned his eyes to Hermione, "I guess the next one is you, Hermione Granger.

I advise you to be careful, after all, you are a Muggle-born wizard."

Hermione frowned. She always felt that Draco knew something, but the current situation of the three of them did not allow her to ask clearly.

"What do you mean?" Aaron asked puzzled.

"You don't know?"

"Should I know?"

Draco smiled awkwardly, but he was relieved when he thought of the special nature of the hidden family.

"The Chamber of Secrets is a legend in Hogwarts. I heard my father talk about it before, and the professors should know it too."

At this time, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in Aaron's mind, and his expression became weird.

But before he could figure out what was going on, the administrator Filch squeezed in from the crowd.

"Potter, what are you doing..." Filch stopped talking halfway, looked at Mrs. Norris hanging with horror, and staggered back a few steps.

"Mrs. Norris." Filch's lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Harry viciously and asked, "You killed my cat."

"No, not me, not me." Harry said nervously.

"I'm going to kill you." Filch grabbed Harry's collar and shouted, "I'm going to kill you."

"Argus!"

Dumbledore arrived at the scene in time, followed by a group of college professors, and the students spontaneously made way.

Filch also let go of his hand, just looking at his cat with a wronged look.

Dumbledore saw the bloody words on the wall, and his heart trembled, but he soon calmed down.

"Everyone, please go back to your dormitories in an orderly manner, everyone, except... you three.

Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger.

Wait, Mr. Gaius, you stay too."

Aaron was stunned for a moment, "Professor, I may have heard wrongly, are you sure you want me to stay too?"

"Sure."

"But I have nothing to do with this matter, it's just a coincidence." Aaron said depressedly, "I have witnesses, I just left the hall a few minutes earlier, even if I wanted to do these things, I didn't have time."

"I know, I don't doubt you, Mr. Gaius."

"Don't worry, Aaron." Professor Snape stood up, "Principal Dumbledore just wants to know what you saw briefly, it's no big deal, just tell the truth."
