Hearing Hermione's question, Cassandra continued to answer: "All you need to do is to help other members to the best of your ability when they need help, and complete the various tasks assigned by JoKer. Of course, JoKer rarely issues tasks, and they are all within our respective capabilities, because only JoKer knows the identities of all of us."

After hearing Cassandra's explanation, Hermione frowned and thought for a long time, but finally shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I refuse!"

After hearing Hermione reject her invitation, Cassandra did not try to persuade her to stay like Draco did last time.

After what happened with Draco last time, Cassandra reflected on herself and realized that some things cannot be done hastily. If she refused to join the Secret Party, the real loss would not be the Secret Party, but the wizard.

Therefore, Cassandra simply responded: "Have you thought about it? Is this your answer?"

Hermione nodded heavily and said:

"I've made up my mind. I believe that you are all excellent wizards, but I just want to be an ordinary student in peace and stability."

In fact, Cassandra also knew that this was just Hermione's excuse, but Cassandra did not continue to persuade her. She just said lightly: "Well, you can leave now!"

Just as Hermione was about to turn around and leave, Cassandra stopped her from behind and said, "By the way, don't mention us to others if you don't want them to feel Oblivion! You can come here because of Joker's will, but not everyone is qualified to know of our existence, and it may not be a good thing for them."

Hearing Cassandra's advice, even warning, Hermione nodded, and at the same time made up her mind again to stay away from this organization.

However, deep in Hermione's heart, she developed a strong interest in this mysterious organization, especially the mysterious JoKer.

Shaking her head, forcing herself to put aside the random thoughts in her mind, Hermione quickly left the Room of Requirement.

Draco, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but say, "Is this the end? Should we stop trying to persuade them?"

Cassandra said nonchalantly:

"There's no need for that. When she really encounters a problem that's hard to solve, she'll think of us."

In the following days, everything in Hogwarts seemed to have returned to the way it should be in a school, except for the professor of a certain Defense Against the Dark Arts class, who was still unreliable.

Wentworth continued to be obsessed with ancient magic patterns, unable to extricate himself. However, this subject cannot be learned by hard work alone. In addition to extraordinary talent, the guidance of a famous teacher is also necessary.

In fact, in Hogwarts, the one who is best at this subject is naturally Dumbledore. Dumbledore's powerful strength is not obtained by relying on any tricks like "blazing flames".

But Wentworth felt that he was not so prestigious that Dumbledore could give him special treatment.

So Wentworth had to turn his attention to Lupin again.

Wentworth's visits to the Shrieking Shack had become much less frequent since last term, when he had exhausted Lupin's knowledge of the common spells.

But now, although Lupin's level of ancient magic patterns is not satisfactory, it is still better than Wentworth's own thinking. After all, Lupin was once the president of the Hogwarts Student Union.

In the past few days, Hermione has been feeling a little uneasy. Suddenly learning that there is such a mysterious organization hidden inside Hogwarts, Hermione always feels insecure.

Just when Hermione was struggling over whether to tell Harry and others about this, that day, when Hermione, Harry and Ron finished their meal and were walking in the corridor together, Harry suddenly did something strange.

"Wait a moment!"

Harry suddenly stopped Hermione and Ron who were walking forward, and listened to something in the empty corridor. Seeing this, Hermione and Ron looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Hey, Harry, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you hear any strange noises?"

Hearing Harry's question, Hermione and Ron looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

So Hermione had no choice but to say: "We didn't hear anything Harry, what did you hear?"

Harry seemed even more shocked than Hermione and Ron. He opened his eyes wide and said, "You really didn't hear anything?"

Hermione and Ron could only shake their heads in confusion.

Then, the three of them followed the source of the sound Harry had seen, and suddenly, Hermione said loudly:

"Look over there!"

Harry and Ron looked in the direction Hermione pointed, and saw spiders running along the corners of Hogwarts all over the place, as if they were avoiding something terrible.

"Oh my goodness!"

At this moment, Ron let out a scream and even sat down on the ground.

Seeing this, Harry and Hermione hurriedly tried to help Ron up, but saw Ron pointing at the wall behind them with a look of horror.

Hermione and Harry looked at each other, and turned to look at the wall behind them, only to see a line of large words that seemed to be dripping with blood appear on the wall of the Hogwarts corridor: The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware!

And below the line of blood-red characters, there was a cat hung on the wall. It was Mrs. Norris, who was raised by Hogwarts' caretaker Filch.

Seeing this scene, Harry and Hermione were also frightened and stood there, looking at the scene in disbelief.

At the same time, the sound of dense footsteps reached the ears of the three people. Hermione cried out inwardly, but it was too late.

Accompanied by a scream that echoed throughout Hogwarts, more and more Hogwarts students came here following the sound and saw the bloody scene before them.

Harry and the others who stood there undoubtedly looked like murderers who did not have time to escape from the scene.

Just as the students around were discussing, suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the Slytherin crowd:

"Harry!"

Draco quickly stepped forward, hugged Harry, and was about to take Harry away from the scene. At the same time, Draco whispered in Harry's ear:

"Harry, I thought you weren't a supporter of pure-blood supremacy! But, aren't the noises you made a little too loud?!"

Harry pushed Draco away and argued anxiously: "I am not one of them, and I didn't do it!"

At this moment, Filch, the Hogwarts caretaker, arrived at the scene.
