"He only attacked those who were against him at first, but now he has started to target all wizards from the Muggle world!" Ernie Macmillan said to everyone he knew in a serious manner. He almost believed that Harry was the murderer, and even fabricated the story of Harry commanding the monster to attack others.

He also questioned why the professors didn't expel Harry.

"It's as if he saw it with his own eyes." Ron rolled his eyes and stood up for Harry.

"I feel like almost all the rumors were spread by Ernie MacMillan." During the Charms class, Cyrus deliberately got rid of Malfoy's two followers and arrived a little late.

There was no other seat for him, so he could only sit behind Harry and Ron, in the same row with Hermione.

He deliberately showed a disgusted expression on his face, so that others would think that he was not so willing. But behind his back, he was whispering to Hermione. Hermione blushed and thought of the "Mr. Riddle" she had seen in the Pensieve not long ago.

"Let me ask you, when did you start possessing Ginny?" Hermione lowered her head and asked in a low voice with a blushing face.

"The first time I was possessed was not long after the school started last year. During the Quidditch match last semester, after Colin Creevey was petrified, until Christmas, I was in control of him almost all the time. What happened?"

"No, nothing..."

But Hermione's face was even redder than before. Cyrus could feel the heat from sitting next to her.

She changed the subject, poked Harry, who was sitting in front of her, with her quill, and threw a note over.

"What should we do? Maybe we should go find Hagrid and ask him about this."

"But Hagrid can't possibly know who opened the Chamber of Secrets this time." Harry replied reluctantly.

Asking him to question Hagrid was more painful than killing him! He couldn't help but think back to the last time Justin was attacked. At that time, Professor Dumbledore took him to the headmaster's office, and Hagrid rushed in to speak for him.

'Hagrid believed in me so much, and yet I doubted him—'

"At least we can find out what the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is!" Hermione said immediately.

Another person who was unwilling to go to Hagrid like Harry was Cyrus.

You have to know that his current identity is the "Riddle" who framed Hagrid and put him in jail. Although not many people know the truth of the year and the true identity of Voldemort, even Hagrid may not know it.

But if two people meet like this, it will never be a wonderful encounter.

He had to stop Hermione.

"Let's wait a moment." He stretched out his hand to intercept the note. "Perhaps there are other ways. I believe the professors will not remain indifferent. Hagrid did not intend to commit these crimes back then. It would be too cruel to open his scars now."

Harry looked at Cyrus with emotion: "Mr. Riddle, I didn't expect you to be such a nice person!"

Hermione still felt that this was not a good idea: "But, if someone else——"

"If anyone else gets killed, we'll go find Hagrid!" Cyrus said forcefully, "Let's explain everything!" - "What if someone else gets killed? We must go find Dumbledore!" Fred and George had a rare disagreement, "Let's explain everything!"

"But this way our secret will be completely exposed." George frowned.

"It's no different from being completely exposed now." Fred said, "Think about it, the heir stole the Marauder's Map. Did you expect him to return it to us after he was done with it? Now there's another victim, a prefect. Look how scared Percy has been these past two days? We have to do something!"

George didn't say anything, but the scales in his heart had begun to tilt.

Fred had a point.

If the heir took their map and attacked the young wizards in the castle and then escaped, they would be no different from accomplices. And the possibility of getting the Marauder's Map back would be almost zero.

"Think about it, if the clues we provide are helpful, maybe we can become the hero who catches the heir!" Fred said suddenly, "Do you know that Ron and the others are also looking for the murderer? If we can get there first, he will be so angry!"

Hearing this, George immediately smiled knowingly.

Rather than being a hero, they were happier to see their brother work so hard for a long time but get nothing in return.

"I can already imagine his frustrated face." George touched Fred's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards Professor McGonagall's office at the same time.

"Professor! We have important information about the heir that we want to report to Headmaster Dumbledore!"

"Heir?" Mag's dignified face trembled a little. She stood up and looked at the two troublemakers in front of her seriously, "George, Fred! I hope you understand that now is not the time for pranks!"

"We don't, how can you think that?"

"That's right. Hogwarts couldn't find more well-behaved students than us."

The twins looked very hurt.

"There have been no rules since your first day at Hogwarts!" McGonagall's eyes widened, but she still led them to the principal's office. "Listen carefully, if you dare to joke about this, I will write a letter to your mother and ask her to take you home to reflect on your behavior for a semester!"

"Don't worry!"

“Absolutely amazing!”

Mag led them to the gargoyle and gave the password.

Today's password is "Jelly Slugs".

"You guys go up by yourselves." Mag clasped his hands in front of him and looked seriously at the spiral elevator rising.

George and Fred immediately took the elevator up, and it was obvious that they were very excited.

The elevator lifted the two of them up and slowly opened. A spacious, beautiful circular room immediately appeared before their eyes.

The room was filled with all kinds of funny little noises.

On the spindly-legged table, there were many curious silver objects, spinning and emitting little puffs of smoke. The walls were covered with portraits of former principals, both men and women, all snoring softly in their frames.

The room also had a huge table with claw-shaped legs.

Dumbledore was leaning over the table, raised his head and looked at them in surprise.

"What advice do you two have?"

Fred and George had to divert their attention from the novel little things in the principal's office.

"We have an important matter to report to you, sir."

"About the successor."

Have a happy weekend everyone. I took some time to go home today. ··* 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
