Chapter 165 This Pot Is Big and Round

"If, I mean if!" Hermione emphasized again, looking at the two of them seriously and said, "If we turn into Draco and go to the Slytherin common room to ask him, will he tell us about the Chamber of Secrets without hiding anything?"

"That's possible." Ron nodded, "Malfoy is his best friend in Slytherin and a pure blood among pure bloods. Aaron will definitely not hide it from him."

"But I'm not going to discourage you, Hermione." Harry said with a bitter face, "Your idea is very good, but that level of Transfiguration may only be done by Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore in Hogwarts, and they will definitely not help us."

"We don't need their help. All we need is a little bit of Polyjuice Potion, which Professor Snape mentioned in class.

A properly brewed Polyjuice Potion can make the user look like another person for a certain period of time."

"Too "It's really tough." Ron smiled in surprise, "Then we will become Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle and ask him, Aaron will tell us everything."

"But there are a few small problems." Hermione looked at the two people's expectant faces and had to discourage their enthusiasm, "First of all, this is difficult, very difficult, and very dangerous.

I have never prepared a polyjuice potion before, and we may violate nearly fifty school rules."

"Let the school rules go to hell!" Ron said indifferently, "We have done things like making up for our mistakes."

"Secondly, the formula of the polyjuice potion is in a book called "Powerful Potion", and this book is in the restricted area."

"I'll go to Lockhart for a note and get it today." Harry volunteered. Lockhart didn't know that his bones had grown back yet, and he would definitely feel guilty when he saw him.

In addition, he knew Lockhart well. As long as he praised him a few good words against his will and made up a reason, it would be easy to go to the restricted area.

"The second thing is the materials. A complex potion requires a variety of materials.

We can find a way to make the simple ones, but what about the rare materials?"

Ron hesitated for a moment, then slowly looked at Harry, and happened to meet a pair of blue-green eyes.

"It seems we have the same idea."

Harry nodded and said in a deep voice: "Snape's office is definitely the richest storage room in the entire Hogwarts, with all kinds of materials."

"Use the invisibility cloak. As long as we can make sure he is not there, we will act immediately." Ron said, "Anyway, there is no password in his office."

"This is what I said about possibly violating fifty school rules." Hermione rolled her eyes, "And then there is time. It takes at least a month to prepare a powerful potion."

"What?" Harry was immediately upset, "One month?

If Aaron is really the heir of Slytherin, one month is enough for him to clean up the Muggle-born wizards."

Hermione gave him an ugly smile after hearing this, "The last and most serious problem is, what if Aaron is not the heir of Slytherin?

We have already disappointed him once last year. If we wrongly accuse him again this time...

Have you thought about the consequences? He may not forgive us even if we apologize with a licking face."

Harry was in a deep voice. After a long silence, "Why don't you go? Ron and I, the two of us..."

"Don't be funny, Harry.

How did you become like Draco and the others?" Hermione's face showed a trace of bitterness, "He is very smart. Even if he can't think of it at first, he can always think that I helped you prepare the Polyjuice Potion.

In other words, I can't stay out of it even if I want to."

"That... are you two thinking too much?" Ron chuckled, "We are using the identities of Malfoy and the others, even if he is wrongly accused, it won't be burned on us.

And if we wrongly accuse him, it may not be a bad thing, at least it can prove that he is innocent and not the heir of Slytherin."

"That's right." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Hermione firmly, "Let's prepare the Polyjuice Potion first!

If the school finds the heir of Slytherin within a month, then give up the plan. If there are no other suspects, then..."

Harry didn't finish his words, but Ron and Hermione could understand what he meant.

But this might be the only thing they can do now, they can't waste their time!

They were very efficient, Harry got the approval slip in the afternoon, but he still had to check with Madam Pince for a long time before he borrowed the book.

But one approval slip can only be borrowed for a short time, and they have to get a few more approval slips from Lockhart before the potion is prepared, otherwise they can't keep the book.

They decided to prepare the Polyjuice Potion in the bathroom where Myrtle lived, and the materials needed were exactly as they expected.

They could get simple ones such as grasshoppers, leeches, sap grass, and two-ear grass, but the powder of the horn of the two-horned beast and the skin of the African tree snake were only available in Snape's office.

But this is not a big problem. With an invisibility cloak, it is really easy to sneak into the office when no one is there.

Everything went smoothly. Most of the polyjuice potion was completed before the second week of December, but the last material made them feel particularly embarrassed.

Because the last material is the things of the person they want to become, such as hair, nails, blood, fragments of skin epidermis, etc.

But they usually have no intersection with Draco and his two followers. They even sneer at each other when they meet, and they can't find any opportunities for a while.

The three of them were at a loss. Harry and Ron even wanted to find a reason to fight with the three of them to get the things on them. After all, it is normal to pull hair when fighting.

Although it may violate school rules and cause Gryffindor to be deducted ten points, at least the goal can be achieved.

But luck always comes in time. On Saturday, there was an extra piece of parchment on the bulletin board.

"Dueling Club?" Ron looked at the notice with some doubts, "It seems to be somewhat useful, at least when facing monsters, you won't just run away.

However, which professor organized this?"

"I don't know, it's not mentioned on the notice." Hermione said, "But I guess it should be Professor Flitwick, he was a dueling champion when he was young."

"This is also our opportunity." Harry thought, "It would be great if we could get Malfoy's hair during the duel."

"Just right, teach Malfoy a lesson openly." Ron picked up his wand. Although it was still wrapped with a thick tape, he had figured out how to use this wand these days, at least there had been no problems recently.

"By the way, how is Aaron these days?" Hermione looked at the two of them and asked nervously, "Is there anything abnormal about him?"

Harry's face became a little complicated, and Ron was hesitant to speak.

"Speak up!"

"We were just suspicious at first." Harry said with some difficulty, "but now it's basically certain.

Aaron takes Abe around every day. We both know that he is asking about the family situation of students in the four colleges."

"And he is particularly concerned about Slytherin." Ron added.

"But what does this mean?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"Merlin!

Can't you see it so obviously?" Ron rolled his eyes, "He is selecting a target, the next target of the monster of the chamber of secrets."

"No way!" Hermione frowned, "If he is selecting a target, why does he need to investigate Slytherin?"

"That's called rigorous." Ron said calmly, "You know him. Since he has decided to take action, the situation in his backyard must be checked clearly!"

"That's it, Hermione." Harry shrugged, "I know this news is hard to accept, but it's the fact."

Hearing what the two said, Hermione was not as confident as she was at the beginning. She let out a long breath and it took a long time for her to react.

"Get the stuff from Malfoy and the others. If everything goes well, we can prepare the Polyjuice Potion before Christmas."

"Great." Harry said excitedly, "Tonight I challenge Malfoy, and you two challenge Crabbe and Goyle. They will definitely not refuse."

At eight o'clock in the evening, all the students gathered in the hall.

The four long tables disappeared, replaced by a long arena in the center.

There was a row of torches on each side of the wall, and the firelight and hundreds of candles hanging from the ceiling made the hall particularly bright.

Aaron held Abe and looked at the people around him from time to time.

To be honest, he didn't want to come at first, because investigating the secret room was much more important.

But he almost walked through every corner of the castle and didn't find the secret room, and he didn't have any clues about the investigation of Slytherin's heir.

Since Colin was petrified, the heir seemed to be more vigilant and never showed up.

It can't be said that there was no gain at all. At least a lot of places and people were excluded, and the scope of the investigation was greatly reduced.

But after working so hard for more than a month, it would be a lie to say I'm not tired.

It's a good opportunity to enjoy the duel event tonight, which can be regarded as a disguised relaxation.
