Study Days at Hogwarts

As the night progressed, Hermione sat at her desk, flipping through her diary slowly. Every time something important happened, she would carefully record them in her diary.

I don't know how much he knew about the Chamber of Secrets, but Albert Anderson was definitely not what he appeared to be. He was a very magical man.

Hermione picked up the quill and wrote this paragraph in her diary.

In the past, Hermione never understood why so many girls envied Isobel and why the girls at Hogwarts regarded Albert as a popular lover.

Now, she seems to understand a little bit.

Hermione still remembered that when she first entered Gryffindor House, she once doubted whether she was really suitable to stay here.

Although the Sorting Hat thought that both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were suitable for her, Hermione would ultimately choose Gryffindor House, mostly because Dumbledore was a Gryffindor student.

Hermione, who chose Gryffindor House, encountered a lot of setbacks at first and couldn't even make friends until she met Albert.

From Albert, Hermione learned how to adapt to Gryffindor House.

Later, she made two friends, Harry and Ron, and she gradually adapted to Gryffindor House.

I am really lucky.

She put down her quill and rested her chin on her hands, recalling what happened in Potions class today.

Harry and Ron created an opportunity for her, allowing them enough time to break into Snape's office and secretly take away the two ingredients for the compound potion.

It is impossible to say that I am not nervous or under pressure.

Hermione even remembered that Harry and Ron were opposed to this plan at first. They were afraid that Snape would catch them if they caused trouble in Potions class.

Why isn't she worried?

But Hermione had a reason to do this, and she would not allow the compound potion to fail.

The Sorting Hat said that she was suitable for Gryffindor House, which was actually correct. In some aspects, she was obviously more "courageous" than Harry and Ron.

Hermione felt a little want to laugh when she thought about it now. Of course she knew why Harry and Ron didn't want to do this.

Snape's office is protected at all levels. Even if magic is used, it will be difficult to open it in a short time. Even if the time is prolonged, the plan may fail.

If Snape caught them, all three of them would be in trouble.

However, Hermione is not Harry, let alone Ron. She rarely acts rashly, and since she dares to take risks, she is naturally prepared.

They needed the compound potion so much. They needed the compound potion to turn them into Slytherin students and find out from Draco Malfoy who opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Hermione still remembered that Albert once said that Harry's luck was actually very good and had always been good. Maybe, with Harry's good luck, they could get some useful information from Malfoy this time.

A month has passed since the attack, and everyone is no longer as nervous as before, but no one knows what will happen next. The sooner the attack is resolved, the safer everyone will be.

After all, Hermione herself was a wizard born into a Muggle family, and was on the target list of the Slytherin heir.

The same goes for Albert, and because he is so famous, he is likely to be the target of special attention. Because of what happened last time, everyone suspected that Harry was the heir of Slytherin.

There were too many reasons forcing Hermione to succeed, and she also hoped that the heir of Slytherin would be caught as soon as possible.

The door of the potion office was easily opened using the "Alajo Opening", but the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored was sealed by magic. It was not opened by ordinary anti-Alajo Opening, but by an unknown magic.

This shouldn't bother Hermione, or in other words, it shouldn't bother her as she was well prepared.

Hermione used an ordinary hairpin to easily pick the door lock of the medicine warehouse.

Albert once told her that many locks in Hogwarts Castle that cannot be opened by normal magic can be easily opened with just a hairpin. This is a loophole caused by wizards' contempt for Muggles.

The plan was perfect. Hermione easily invaded Snape's medicine warehouse and spent a few minutes finding the horn of a bicorn and the skin of an African tree snake in a pile of medicine.

Hermione had always kept the appearance of these two compound potion ingredients in mind, ensuring that she could find them as soon as possible after breaking into the medicine warehouse.

In fact, everything went smoothly, and we were able to get the raw materials smoothly, thanks to Albert's help.

After adding the horn of the bicorn and the skin of the African tree snake, the compound potion was completely completed after a while, but Hermione did not feel much joy and was still wondering whether the plan was too hasty.

Although they believe that Malfoy is the so-called heir of Slytherin, how likely is it?

No one knows.

Hermione stopped her quill again and thought about whether it was really reliable to rely on Harry's good luck for her plan.

Regarding the so-called heir of Slytherin, she always had the idea of ​​asking Albert instead of Malfoy.

Although sometimes she found this idea strange, Hermione just felt that Albert might know more, perhaps because of divination or other reasons.

So, Hermione went to find Albert. When she found him, Albert was walking with a beautiful red-haired girl and whispering.

This scene made Hermione feel inexplicably anxious. She actually wanted to go over and talk to Albert about the secret room, but if she bothered them now, she didn't know if she would be disliked.

Finally, Hermione passed.

At that time, Hermione felt like she had mustered up all the courage in her life.

Albert was not unhappy about being disturbed. The red-haired girl just looked her over and walked away with a smile, leaving room for the two of them to chat privately.

Hermione immediately shared with him the story of successfully breaking into Snape's office.

Looking back now, Hermione felt like a child looking for someone to show off.

Later, she told Albert her guess about the monster in the secret room.

Albert didn't seem too surprised by the basilisk's guess. Sure enough, he had already guessed it?

In fact, if you look through those magical creatures carefully, you will find that they are related to Slytherin, are the natural enemies of spiders, are also very large, and have long lifespans, and then you will only be left with creatures like the Basilisk. .

Hermione turned the pages of Fantastic Creatures. According to the records in the book, the basilisk has a very long lifespan.

The basilisk named "Helbo the Despicable" lived to be almost nine hundred years old, so it wouldn't be surprising if the monster that attacked the students in Hogwarts Castle was indeed a basilisk, and it has been around since the creation of the Chamber of Secrets.

Hermione believed that since Albert could think of this, Professor Dumbledore couldn't have thought of it either, but the biggest question was how could a basilisk crawl around?

After all, it's impossible for no one to notice the basilisk's size. Where is it hiding? Where is Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?

For thousands of years, people have not even been able to find the location of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and there are still too many mysteries that have not been solved.

If the basilisk problem cannot be solved, telling the truth will only cause greater panic!

As for how to protect yourself from the threat of the basilisk, Albert jokingly suggested keeping a rooster with you so that the basilisk would not dare to attack you rashly.

I believe he already has a solution to the basilisk?

Hermione wrote at the end of her diary.
