Chapter 175 It’s over Before It Even Begins
Harry and the other two completely changed into their original appearance. Their clothes were much bigger, so they had to lift their clothes to walk.
Entering the hallway, the three threw Draco and the others' shoes at the door of the locker that locked them, and went to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom in their socks.
"It was a close call. We almost got caught." Ron said breathlessly.
"It's all because of you." Harry glared at him reproachfully, "What are you making promises for? You're saying Weasley's words in front of Crabbe's face.
If we had rejected him directly, we might not have been so passive."
"At least it's not a complete loss!
The basilisk, the place where the Chamber of Secrets might be, and a list of suspects...Except for Ginny, she is definitely not the heir of Slytherin."
"But how do you explain what Aaron said?"
Ron pouted and said, "Coincidence, absolutely coincidence.
I definitely wouldn't have believed that so many coincidences could happen to one person before, but the facts tell us that this is possible.
Do you think Will Ginny be the heir of Slytherin? My sister has lived with us brothers for more than ten years, but she has never shown any talent for Parseltongue. "
"Let's not talk about this for now. I think we have to consider something else." Hermione patted her chest lightly, trying to calm herself down. "Aaron may ask Draco about the progress of the investigation after the Christmas holiday. He will definitely find something wrong.
So we have to check the people on the list as much as possible before that. When he questions us, we will have a reason to respond, otherwise..."
Hermione didn't finish her words, but Harry and Ron knew what she meant.
Last year, they worked together to trick Abe from Aaron, but they were caught red-handed that night.
That crisis of trust embarrassed them for a long time. Every time they saw Aaron and the dragon cub beside him, they would lower their heads involuntarily and dare not look at him.
Even now, when they face Aaron, they still feel guilty like a thief seeing the police, even if the thief has fully realized his mistake.
But the problem is that they made the same mistake again tonight, and this mistake may be worse than the dragon-raptor incident last year. If they want to make up for it, they can only find the real culprit before he finds the problem. At least they have to make some achievements.
"This is difficult!" Ron said with a bitter face, "To be honest, I only remember Ginny and the two next to her, one is Lianna and the other is Newt.
But I don't know these two students, and I haven't even heard of them."
"I only remember two, and I'm not sure if I read it wrong." Harry said depressedly. At that time, he was only listening to Aaron's explanation and didn't pay attention to those names at all.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then looked at Hermione tacitly. Among the three of them, only Hermione had a better memory, and maybe she remembered the list.
"Don't expect too much from me. Ron's performance almost pissed me off. I didn't have time to remember those things.
Then the effect of the Polyjuice Potion will expire. I have no other ideas except running."
"Does that mean you didn't remember any of them?" Ron's expression became even more bitter, and he said speechlessly, "It would be better if the Polyjuice Potion could last longer.
It was supposed to last an hour, but it expired in less than forty-five minutes."
"Are you blaming me?" Hermione glared at him angrily, "It's also my first time to prepare a potion of that difficulty. It's good enough to succeed.
And we are now Is it so embarrassing because who needs me to remind me? "" Don't be busy shiring responsibility, isn't there a name of five people? " Find the real murderer behind the scenes! In addition, we can also check Gryffindor's public lounge. This is what he couldn't check. Dark space, but fortunately, the wand was still on his body. Although he was scared, he still applied a simple spell. Draco was not stupid. Thinking about his current situation and the chocolate cake he had eaten last night, he was furious.
Prank, pure prank.
Potter and Weasley were really insidious. They deceived him with an attitude that he could not refuse, and even locked him in the broom closet. They were simply lawless.
"Alaho!"
Opening the cabinet door, the sunlight outside shone on Draco's face through the window, but he could not feel any warmth, and his face looked particularly ugly.
There were three pairs of shoes on the ground. Draco looked at his bare feet and suddenly thought of something.
He walked to another cabinet and threw a unlocking spell to open it.
Two sturdy figures fell out, and a few brooms hit their faces, and Crabbe and Goyle woke up.
"Where is this?" Crabbe murmured in confusion, "Why are we here?"
"You two, get up quickly." Draco said angrily, and then threw their shoes over, "Put on your shoes by the way."
Crabbe and Goyle did it immediately, but they were still full of doubts.
After tidying themselves up, the two stood beside Draco in silence. It was the first time they felt Malfoy's anger.
"Do you know why you are here?"
The two shook their heads together, but they were sure that they were not sleepwalking.
"I guess you don't know either." Draco rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then told them his guess.
"Are you saying that we were drugged by Potter and the others?" Crabbe asked in disbelief, "How dare they do that?"
"Can you think of any other possibilities besides this?" Draco sneered and asked back, "For this prank, they are really shameless.
Under the guise of an apology, they made us eat a cake with hypnotic drugs, and then locked us in this broken place.
Humph! If my dad knew, he would be furious."
Bang!
Goyle slammed his fist on the cabinet, "This is really too much. When have we ever suffered such a loss? I will go to them to settle the accounts."
"Stop." Draco scolded, "Isn't it embarrassing enough!
You still want to go and settle the accounts directly. I want to teach them a lesson more than you do, but how are you going to do it? Beat them up in public?
This kind of revenge is the lowest level. Not to mention whether you can beat them or not, if the matter gets out of hand, it will only lose the face of Slytherin."
"Then we can't just endure it like this!" Crabbe said angrily.
"How is it possible? I can't swallow this breath!" Draco said viciously, "Let's go back first."
The three of them returned to the Slytherin common room with a gloomy face. The students who saw them on the way all retreated unconsciously because they looked like debt collectors.
They sat on the sofa, silent, exuding an aura of strangers not to approach.
Aaron just came out of the dormitory and was about to take Abe to the auditorium for dinner, but seeing the three people like this, he was also a little curious.
"What happened to you? You were fine last night."
"Don't talk to me about last night." Draco said with a fierce look on his face, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, but he restrained his anger when he saw that the person coming over was Aaron.
"Sorry, I shouldn't treat you like this."
"It's only one night! Even if you have a nightmare, you shouldn't be so angry."
"It's okay if it's a nightmare. We last night..."
"Shut up, Crabbe." Draco interrupted him immediately. He didn't want his good friend to know his miserable side.
The heir of the Malfoy family was actually knocked unconscious and locked in the broom closet by Weasley and Potter. If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off.
"Hey, hey, hey! That's not the case!" Aaron's eyes twitched, "I just asked you to help me check some things. If you don't want to, you can tell me. There's no need to be so angry."
Draco was stunned for a moment, and Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other.
"Aaron, are you kidding? We didn't come back last night."
"What?" Aaron didn't realize the problem yet, and said in a joking tone: "Don't be funny, didn't you come to see me last night?
It was the class leader who brought you here!"
"But we..." Draco was halfway through his words, and suddenly thought of something, and a grim smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "So that's it!
Saint Potter and his friends are really good at playing!"
"What are you talking about?"
Draco hesitated for a while, and looked at Aaron with a complicated expression, "I didn't want to let you know, but now it seems that I must let you know.
You are the most Better be mentally prepared, otherwise I'm worried you won't be able to accept it."
"Just say it!" Aaron waved his hand indifferently and sat calmly opposite Draco, "My psychological quality is far beyond your imagination."
"Okay! Here's what happened.
Everything was fine, but the three of us ate the chocolate cake given by Harry Potter and Ron Weasley last night, and when we woke up this morning, we found ourselves locked in the cabinet in the broom closet." Draco looked at Aaron meaningfully, "Do you understand what I mean?
We slept in the broom closet last night and didn't come back at all, and when we woke up, we found that our shoes were taken off. "
