While Wentworth and Dumbledore were discussing how to find the person secretly controlled by Voldemort in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, the students of Hogwarts, under the command of their professors and prefects, walked towards their respective lounges one by one.

Hermione and Ron were walking and discussing what happened today. Hermione said with a puzzled look on her face: "This is really weird, isn't it?"

Ron didn't seem to understand what Hermione said, and responded with a confused look on his face: "What? What's so weird?"

Hermione thought about it and explained:

"I always feel like there's something wrong with Cassandra being attacked! According to the story about the Chamber of Secrets told by Professor McGonagall, the monster sealed in the Chamber of Secrets was left by Salazar Slytherin to eliminate students he believed were unworthy of learning magic!"

At this point, Hermione paused, and finally spoke: "The monster's target should be someone like me, the so-called mudblood... Damn, this name is so ugly!"

"But today it attacked Cassandra! You know, Cassandra is from Slytherin College. In the eyes of the Sorting Hat, Cassandra should be a student who fully meets the Slytherin standards. So why did the monster in the Chamber of Secrets attack her?"

Hermione was puzzled, and after Hermione raised this question, Ron still didn't respond. Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but look at Ron with some confusion, her eyes full of questioning.

Seeing this, Ron had no choice but to spread his hands and said nonchalantly: "Who knows? Perhaps the rumor about the Chamber of Secrets is wrong? Or perhaps, after so many years, the basilisk has forgotten what mission Salazar Slytherin left for it! How intelligent can you expect a beast to be?!"

Ron told a joke that couldn't be more cruel, but Hermione still looked conflicted.

At this moment, the two suddenly heard someone calling their names behind them.

"Hermione Granger?! Ron Weasley?!"

The two looked back and saw a girl with silver eyes, long dark golden hair and wearing the Ravenclaw college uniform standing behind them, looking at them with a strange look.

The two looked at each other, both with puzzled expressions. Then, Hermione seemed to remember something and asked tentatively:

"You are...Luna Lovegood?"

Luna on the other side nodded and said:

"Yes, it's me. Excuse me, can I take up a few minutes of your time?"

Ron on the side asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"Hermione, who is she?"

Hermione quickly explained to Ron:

"This is Luna Lovegood, a first-year student at Ravenclaw College. She is a good friend of your sister Ginny, but everyone calls her crazy..."

At this point, Hermione realized that she had said the wrong thing and stopped immediately, but Luna said nonchalantly:

"Crazy girl, it's okay, I know what they call me!"

Hermione on the opposite side could only smile awkwardly, then looked around deliberately. Seeing that the other Hogwarts students had already left and there were only three of them left in the corridor, Hermione couldn't help but ask curiously, "Luna, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Hearing Luna's words, Hermione also said with a low face:

"Yeah, I was just talking to Ron. I just couldn't understand why Cassandra was the one who was attacked. She is obviously from Slytherin!"

Hearing Hermione's doubts, Luna said as a matter of course: "In fact, this is not difficult to understand! The things left by Slytherin attacked the students of Slytherin College. There is only one explanation, that is, someone is using or controlling the things left by Slytherin."

Hearing Luna's words, Hermione said in shock:

"You mean to say that the legendary Slytherin heir not only opened the Chamber of Secrets, but was also able to control the contents and attack others at will?"

Luna nodded and said, "Yes, perhaps the Chamber of Secrets and the monsters inside it that Salazar Slytherin left behind were really for the day when his descendants would return to Hogwarts. At that time, his descendants could follow Salazar Slytherin's orders and use the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets to cleanse Hogwarts, and then rebuild Hogwarts according to Salazar Slytherin's ideas."

At this point, Luna paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, this descendant of Salazar Slytherin obviously did not put his orders first, but used the monster that Salazar Slytherin left in the Chamber of Secrets to do things for him, which is why he attacked the students of Slytherin College."

After hearing Luna's explanation, Hermione said in horror: "Oh my God, this... is too terrible. Doesn't this mean that no one in the entire Hogwarts is safe?!"

"Why did he do that? What did he want to do?"

Luna spread her hands, shook her head and said, "I don't know. Perhaps only the heir of Slytherin knows his true intention."

At this point, Hermione couldn't help but sigh: "The person who can control the monster that Salazar Slytherin left in the Chamber of Secrets must be an excellent wizard!"

However, as soon as Hermione said this, she saw Luna on the other side shaking her head repeatedly, obviously not agreeing with what she said. Sure enough, Luna continued:

"No, on the contrary. I think that the heir of Slytherin is either still very young and not very strong, or he has a physical problem and is weak right now."

Hearing Luna's words, Hermione asked with a puzzled look on her face:

"Why?"

Luna explained:

"It's very simple, because, so far, the monster in the secret room has only dared to sneakily attack lone people, especially lone Hogwarts students!"

"This means that he is not sure that he can kill two or more Hogwarts students quietly, not to mention the professors. Therefore, the heir of Salazar Slytherin is either very weak or has a physical problem that causes his weakness."

I have to say that although in the original book, Hermione and Luna are both representatives of intelligence, but in fact, Hermione's achievements are more dependent on diligence and hard work, and although Luna looks crazy, she is the really smart one.

Not to mention that in the original book, whenever Harry got into trouble, it was Luna who showed him the way. In fact, from the very beginning, Luna showed that her wisdom was superior to Hermione and others. After all, Luna was from Ravenclaw!
