Chapter 176 The Friendship Boat Capsized
After hearing what Draco said, Aaron blinked blankly. Although he looked calm, his eyes were a little sad.
After a long time, he sighed and murmured with some disappointment: "Is that so!"
"Hey! Is your reaction too calm?" Draco looked at Aaron in surprise, "If I were you, I would have cursed a long time ago."
"This only shows that I can control my emotions better than you. Don't interfere in this matter. I will handle it myself."
"I will naturally not interfere in your affairs, but I am not done with them." Draco pointed at Goyle and Crabbe, "The same goes for them.
Do you know how we got here last night? It was a great shame!
We will not let it go unless we get revenge."
"It's up to you!" Aaron spread his hands and then left the common room.
"Should we go over and see?" Goyle asked, and Crabbe was also a little hesitant.
They could all guess what Aaron was going to do, but he was alone after all, and it was easy to suffer.
But they were four against three, at least they wouldn't lose in terms of appearance.
"No, let's put it in perspective." Draco waved his hand disapprovingly, "He's Gaius, we don't need to help with such a small matter."
Knowing that he was deceived, Aaron lost his appetite and took Abe to the Gryffindor common room.
After asking the fat lady guarding the door and confirming that Harry and the other two had not left, he decided to block them outside.
However, since many students chose to spend Christmas at home, it took more than 20 minutes for someone to come out.
It was not someone else who came out, but the twin brothers of the Weasley family, Fred and George.
"Aaron, what are you doing here?" Fred asked in surprise.
"Waiting for someone." Aaron said, his tone slightly cold.
"Harry? Or Ron?"
"Fred, you left Granger behind."
"In fact, I was waiting for the three of them."
"It seems that something important happened, otherwise they wouldn't have come so early in the morning." Fred touched his chin and said, "Wait a moment, we will go and call them for you?"
"Wait." Aaron stopped the two and said, "I have to trouble you to remind them to bring out the Christmas gifts I gave them when they come out."
"No problem."
George and Fred returned to the common room and went directly to Harry and Ron's dormitory and pulled them out of bed.
Then, they asked Bell to call Hermione to the common room.
Harry and the other two sat on the sofa with sleepy eyes, looking at the two brothers smiling across from them with a blank face.
They did a big thing last night, and they were very tired both physically and mentally, and they urgently needed to rest.
If George and Fred couldn't give a reasonable explanation, they would not give them a good face.
"Don't stay in bed so early in the morning. If you sleep any longer, breakfast will become lunch."
"So, you two are here to call us to eat?" Harry said speechlessly. If he was called to practice Quidditch, he would accept it.
But eating... at this moment, the temptation of sleeping is countless times greater than eating.
"Well..." Hermione yawned, "You two are really boring. I'm going back to sleep first. Call me for lunch."
"Don't go!" Fred was a little anxious and said immediately: "Aaron is looking for you."
"He's waiting outside now!"
Hearing this, the three of them shivered uncontrollably, and the sleepiness on their bodies instantly dissipated.
"Hou Li Crab! So soon?" Ron's mouth twitched, "It's less than twelve hours, and I can't even get a good night's sleep."
"Don't complain, let's think about what to do first!" Harry was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, "Or we don't go out, just hide in the common room.
We can delay it for a day, at least we still have some time before the end of the holiday."
"It's easy for you to say, he's blocking outside now!" Hermione was confused, her face was full of embarrassment, "He must know everything, and his attitude is quite clear."
George and Fred looked at each other, and they found that the situation seemed to be a little different from what they thought, and Aaron didn't seem to come to play with them.
"Excuse me, did you do something wrong?" George asked, "and made Gaius very angry?"
"Yes, it's terrible, very terrible." Ron rolled his eyes, "We could have deceived ourselves, but you two woke us up."
"Admit your mistakes to him, I hope he can forgive us!" Hermione said, but she knew in her heart that Aaron would definitely not be so generous this time.
"Never mind, let's go out first."
"Wait a minute." Fred pursed his lips, "I don't want to say this, but Gaius asked us to bring you a message..."
After a few seconds of silence, Fred suddenly turned to look at George, "You should say it!"
"I won't let you play like this." George was stunned for a moment, and then met three pairs of nervous eyes, "Okay! He told you to take his Christmas present with you when you go out."
Boom!
Thunder suddenly rolled in the hearts of the three people, and blood rained continuously, and their faces changed.
"It's over." Hermione lay back weakly, "This time it's really a big deal."
I was thinking about making up for my crime! But now Aaron obviously didn't give them a chance and sentenced them to death directly.
"I think..." Harry swallowed his saliva, "No matter what, he won't break up with us!"
Ron nodded silently, and turned out three gift boxes from a corner, "I thought I was the only one who didn't open the gifts, but you didn't open them either!"
Hermione shook her head and said speechlessly: "We were all together yesterday, don't you know how it was arranged?"
"I suggest you go quickly!" Fred said, "You didn't do it right, you can't make him wait any longer!"
The three of them smiled bitterly at each other, walked out of the common room with heavy steps.
Seeing Aaron, the three of them were embarrassed and stunned.
"We..."
"Come with me!" Aaron interrupted Harry directly, "This is not a place to talk."
More than ten minutes later, Aaron took them to the Transfiguration classroom, and then sat on a table by himself.
"You guys are awesome. You really impressed me!
I've never admired anyone before, but you guys made me admire you. I've never been cheated so badly in my life."
"We just wanted to help you." Ron said bravely.
Aaron rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "At least find a reasonable excuse!
You don't even know what I'm doing, how can you help me?
But I really admire you. Last year, you just knocked out and took my pet away. This year, you actually started to drug people. You're really good at it!
You're really second-year students. Are you sure you're not a repeat offender who escaped from Azkaban?"
"I'm sorry." Harry said weakly.
"You really should say sorry, not only to me, but also to Draco and the others.
Harry, no, Harry Potter, I obviously trusted you so much, but this is how you repay my trust.
But you are Gryffindor, and there seems to be nothing wrong with suspecting a Slytherin is the descendant of Salazar.
It would be great if you could prove that I am the heir of Slytherin, then you can notify Dumbledore to arrest me, and then follow the clues to find the Chamber of Secrets and eliminate the basilisk.
In this way, the rumors against Harry will be self-defeating, and you will become heroes who save Hogwarts.
Sacrifice me for the happiness of everyone, the calculation is loud enough!"
Hearing these sarcastic words, Hermione's heart sank slightly, and she immediately explained eagerly, "It's not like that, we just want to eliminate your suspicion."
"How to exclude?" Aaron asked back, " Polyjuice potion?
As far as I know, it takes at least a month to prepare this powerful potion. In addition, it requires the body tissue of the transformed object and various rare materials.
Tsk tsk tsk! You would rather overcome many difficulties and spend a lot of time to deceive me with such despicable means than ask me in person. Is there any greater suspicion than this? "
"That... Ron and I did doubt you." Harry looked pale and raised his head with great difficulty and said, "But Hermione's trust in you is absolutely true."
"That's right." Ron said, "We told her several times, but every time she would hit us back hard."
"Really? But these words from your mouth are almost unreliable."
Hermione wanted to say something, but when she saw Aaron's eyes mixed with disappointment and anger, she swallowed her words unconsciously.
"Granger, do you want to express your opinion?" Aaron sneered.
"I really didn't doubt you." Hermione said with a sad face, raising three fingers while speaking, "I swear."
"Then please explain why you helped them prepare the Polyjuice Potion?"
"I believe you, but they don't.
So this is the only way to prove your innocence." Hermione smiled sadly, "This method is a bit excessive, but the effect is also obvious."
"Does that mean I should thank you?"
"No, no, that's not what I mean."
"Whatever you mean, you chose to help them, didn't you?
If you really believe me, you can come and ask me directly, but you, none of you."
"At that time, you were very suspicious, and we didn't dare to take the risk." Ron explained, "What if we finish asking questions and you kill us right after?
And how can we guarantee that you are telling the truth? Bad people never say they are bad people. "
Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly and clapped his hands in admiration, "What you said makes sense, I am speechless."
Then he looked at Harry, "The famous Harry Potter, I ask you a question.
If your answer satisfies me, I will consider forgiving you."
"You ask." Harry simply adjusted his state, "I promise to tell the truth."
"Very good, my question is, before yesterday, did you particularly expect me to be the heir of Slytherin?"
"Ah this...I..."
"Okay, needless to say, the few seconds you hesitated have already told me the answer. ”
Harry lowered his head in silence, not knowing what to say.
During that time, he was under great pressure. No one believed him no matter how he explained. The only way for him to avoid the strange looks of others was to find the real heir.
It happened that Aaron was always at the crime scene. In that case, who else could he suspect?
