Chapter 354

Ron grumbled at Hermione.

Then he was glared at by Hermione with a look that said he was an idiot.

It seemed she thought figuring out the mastermind was easy.

"Who hates Darren and Harry the most? Who hates Muggle-borns?

Who wants to open the Chamber of Secrets the most…"

Hermione said mysteriously in a guiding tone.

Ron suddenly realized.

He said suddenly: "It's Malfoy! I remember now, when the Chamber of Secrets was opened that day, what did he come over and say to us?

He said, 'You're next, Scarhead!' It's definitely him, for sure!"

Only Malfoy hated Harry and Darren the most, and he also didn't like that Hermione was Muggle-born.

Malfoy had said more than once that all Muggle-borns should be driven out of the school. "So we should report Malfoy to the professors!"

Harry said through gritted teeth.

However, he was rejected by Hermione.

"No, you've forgotten that all the professors are under Dumbledore's control.

If Dumbledore thinks you reported Malfoy because you listened to Darren, will he drag Darren into his office again and feed him Veritaserum?

I've heard that Veritaserum causes great harm to the body; the reason the Ministry of Magic bans Veritaserum is precisely because it can very likely lead to a person losing their mind!"

Hermione said unhappily, her expression looking even angrier than Harry's.

"Then what are we supposed to do? With just us few, how could we possibly catch Malfoy in the act?"

Harry grabbed his hair in frustration.

The shock of this day was simply too great for him.

Especially that great old Headmaster, who had actually done such a thing to Darren; it simply affected his entire worldview.

"Of course there are still ways."

Hermione suddenly laughed softly.

She cautiously looked at the students around them, then gathered Ron and Harry together and whispered: "My method isn't easy to do; perhaps we might need to break over fifty school rules."

"I'm not afraid, as long as it doesn't implicate Darren!"

Harry gritted his teeth.

Ron also nodded.

Only then did Hermione continue: "What we need to do is enter the Slytherin common room, ask Malfoy a few questions directly, and not let him recognize us."

"Ha, how is that possible?"

Ron rolled his eyes.

"No, it is possible. Do you remember the Polyjuice Potion that Snape mentioned in Potions class?

We could completely drink Polyjuice Potion, then turn into three other people, and enter Slytherin…

No one would know it's us. Malfoy might be bragging in Slytherin right now, it's just a pity we can't get in…"

"But Darren is in Slytherin. If Malfoy is bragging, it's very likely he would hear it!"

Harry raised his question.

"No, no, no, Darren is always too innocent.

For example, if Malfoy says he did a big thing, we would think he did something bad, but Darren would think he helped a professor with work…

Darren doesn't like to think of people as very bad. Just like how Snape treats him, he still thinks Snape is doing it on purpose, the kind that is for his own good.

How could you expect Darren to be able to analyze the bad things Malfoy did from the things he says?"

Hermione analyzed.

Ron and Harry nodded in conviction at the same time.

Hermione's analysis was flawless; Darren couldn't possibly think that much.

"So, now there's only one problem left. Snape said *Most Potente Potions*, which contains the Polyjuice Potion, is in the Restricted Section of the library.

How can we get this book? To get a book from the Restricted Section, you must have a professor's written signature!"

Hermione asked anxiously.

"How about letting Darren go? Darren could find Professor McGonagall and say he needs to look up information to research other potions?"

Ron asked excitedly.

However, he was immediately glared at by Harry and Hermione.

"Yeah, and then as soon as Darren gets the signature, he's called into Dumbledore's office that same day, and then fed Veritaserum again?"

Hermione said angrily.

Ron thought about it and quickly said again: "How about you go find Lockhart? I think Lockhart just loves giving people his signature…"

"Good method!"

"Well said!"

Hermione and Harry praised at the same time.

Darren naturally didn't know what Harry and the others were discussing behind his back.

He was rummaging through his trunk in his dormitory, looking for his Invisibility Cloak of Death.

According to his thinking, except for the Invisibility Cloak of Death, there was no way Harry and the others could achieve that level.

Sure enough, he searched, and the place where he had previously put the Invisibility Cloak was already empty.

So Harry and the others were using his Invisibility Cloak of Death.

It's just, who took it?

Dumbledore?

Impossible. If Dumbledore took it, he would definitely doubt his life, doubting which one of this Invisibility Cloak and Harry's was the real Deathly Hallow.

Then, Snape?

Impossible, Snape would absolutely not give an Invisibility Cloak to Harry.

Just based on Harry's appearance, the fact that Snape could be responsible for Harry's life was the greatest love he could have for his goddess.

So…
