Chapter 387: Who is the Prince
"How should I put it, Harry." Zhang Qiu said with some difficulty, "I told you about the danger level, right?"
"You think my level is not enough?" Harry said with some grievance, "However, how can I know without trying?"
"Because of Occlumency."
Harry widened his eyes. He spent a whole year practicing Occlumency last year, but he didn't expect this skill to become an obstacle now.
"Occlumency does prevent others from peeping at you, but it also makes it very difficult for you," Zhang Qiu looked for adjectives for a long time, "to burst out with strong enough emotions."
"Yes, this is also the reason why we have been avoiding this matter," Ron said, "This will make you frustrated."
"Not frustrated." Harry took a deep breath, "Occlumency has its special role. If I hadn't learned to close my mind well last year, maybe what we are discussing now is Yanayev's blitzkrieg on Poland."
What Harry also wanted to say was that he felt Occlumency was not impossible to break through—but he thought of Snape. Snape's choice also seemed to show from the side that Occlumency and Knight transformation were two completely different and even conflicting skills.
"I am even worse than you." Zhang Qiu comforted, "My Occlumency is not practiced by myself, it was done by Master. I am even less likely to experience the Knight System."
"Then your meaning is that I still have a little possibility?" Harry seemed to have raised a glimmer of hope again.
"Uh, let's analyze the identity of that bat monster." Zhang Qiu smoothed her hair, "He attacked you on the road, right? I think it's a bit suspicious."
"Where is it suspicious?" Harry followed the new topic in disappointment.
"First of all, we have to understand who he is preparing to attack? If he just attacks students randomly, and the result happens to kick an iron plate, is this possibility high?"
"Not high." Harry also started to think seriously, "It's rare for anyone to pass by on the road from Hagrid's hut to the castle, and when we came back, it was still dusk. If the attacker wanted to make some noise and attract the Knights in the school to appear, he definitely wouldn't choose this place."
"You mean, he specifically ambushed the two of you there?" Ron, who was eating, suddenly stopped his movements.
"I think so, and do you remember? He looked at us for a few seconds before launching the attack." Harry analyzed calmly, "It's possible he wanted to confirm our identities, or it's possible he specifically wanted to wait for you to transform, perhaps both."
"Then he ambushed us for?" Ron blinked, "Is it still a test?"
"Perhaps he was to test your strength, and by the way confirm your identity." Harry nodded, "Knight armor naturally acts as a mask. No wonder you call it Kamen Rider. This word 'Kamen' is actually quite worth noting."
"Then, according to your speculation, Night Rogue's trip clarified two things: one is that the real identity of the Saber who appeared a few days ago is Ron Weasley; the second is that Ron's strength is relatively average." Zhang Qiu summarized, "But if you say so, I believe you also noticed one of the problems."
Ron only noticed "strength is relatively average," and his face didn't look good.
"That's right, there must be a mole in the school. No, I even suspect that Night Rogue is that mole." Harry said with burning eyes, "That new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher!"
"Whoa, this position has become a scapegoat position from now on." Zhang Qiu rolled her eyes, "I think the possibility is not high. What is more worth noting is the first-year students."
"Because if it were a professor, when he noticed Ron, and even saw fragments of his battle, today's Night Rogue's test would have become a completely unnecessary thing." Zhang Qiu argued reasonably, "He either wanted to kill you and Ron in one go, otherwise there was no need to plan this attack at all."
"So I speculate that Night Rogue and the mole are not the same person. It should be that the mole reported the news to the superior, and the superior sent Night Rogue to verify it." Zhang Qiu said, touching her chin, "The next thing is very clear, Ron is responsible for finishing off Night Rogue, and we can consider finding the mole."
"Me?" Ron pointed to himself with a finger, "That bat monster is strong, and knows how to use a knife, I really don't necessarily beat him."
"But you can also fight him back and forth, can't you?" Zhang Qiu said, "Then with Draco's help, we might be able to take him down."
Harry's thoughts were moved by the word "take down." He was thinking, since a Knight always has a transformer, as long as the transformation can be beaten apart, the true face of the transformer can be revealed—at that time, he can also interrogate him to get some information, and the initiative will be back in his own hands.
Ron still needed some time to recuperate. Madam Pomfrey politely asked them out of the hospital wing. Harry looked at his watch. It was about time for the Torchwood gathering, and he happened to feel he needed to talk to Draco.
When Harry walked into the familiar living room, the children were sitting in a circle happily. Crabbe and Goyle were grabbing snacks on the table and stuffing them into their mouths. If you don't consider the fact that they were already in the sixth grade, it could be considered adding a few points of childlike interest.
"Good evening, everyone, any fresh news recently?" Harry said casually and sat down opposite Draco.
"Ah, speaking of which, you definitely won't be unfamiliar," Draco looked over with a smile, "Do you know the Half-Blood Prince?"
"What?" Harry showed a confused look. He thought the other party was going to talk about Ron defeating the Striker.
"The girls' group has been talking about it recently, and I forgot who spread it." Pansy added, "Of course, rather than saying it's a specific person, it's more like a beautiful image. They say the Prince is a handsome, elegant person who knows everything about magic knowledge."
"Sounds like a young version of Dumbledore." Luna said.
"Looking at it now, Harry is about the one closest to the 'Half-Blood Prince'." Ginny looked at him with a strange gaze.
"Yes, what I find very strange is that even Hermione came to ask me about this!" Eve blinked, "We all know Potter is a descendant of Linfred, right? Then it can only be Evans—"
"But Evans is a Muggle surname, right?" Ernie said, dodging his eyes.
"Right, Hermione suspects that we are really the Romanovs, because Ivan is also quite common over there." Eve explained, "If we had to abandon the Romanov surname because of being hunted, changing to Evans is also very possible."
"Crazy, what is all this." Harry only felt tired, "My mother is just an ordinary Muggle. Don't put these things on my head for the sake of some so-called Prince."
"I understand, I understand." Draco cooperated and nodded. Harry really wanted to punch him and curse "You understand a fart!"
"That is to say, if you don't put these things on your head," Ginny asked, "You actually don't mind Hermione secretly asking about you?"
Harry was speechless for a moment. Last year he blocked a bullet for Ailina and made up a lie that "Hermione has a crush on you." Now don't let this turn into reality.
"What can I say? I can only say I really don't hope Hermione does anything stupid," Harry said helplessly, "I already have a girlfriend."
"Yes, yes, Hermione might just be under too much pressure, and you are also one of the few people who have cared about her." Hannah performed as if she understood better than Hermione herself, "Even if it's just an imagined beautiful image, even if she knows it's impossible, what she actually needs is just a motivation to support her forward."
"Is Hermione very busy this year?" Ginny pursued.
"Yes, we have seen her rushing around several times." Hannah answered naturally, "She seems to have chosen a lot of classes."
"She wants to apply to Miskatonic University." Harry looked at Cui Ge. He felt Cui Ge might have some understanding of this.
Cui Ge didn't say anything, but threw back a curious look.
"From some angle, it's very amazing that she is qualified to choose so many classes." Eve directly changed the topic, "This means she got very good grades in the OWL exams."
OWL is a beautiful memory for the sixth-grade students of this year, but for the fifth-grade students, it is an unknown enemy. They discussed this matter one after another. Finally, Draco almost wanted to brag, and when he was about to ask his father to inquire, he suddenly noticed Ginny's existence, so he changed his tone and begged her to find her father to inquire.
After the gathering dispersed, Harry stayed behind alone. He wanted to discuss with Draco about dealing with Night Rogue together.
"Ah?" Draco looked very surprised, "An enemy that even you and Ron can't defeat?"
Only then did Harry remember that Draco had always thought that both he and Ron had the ability to transform and fight.
"Uh, this is a test from foreign forces." Harry said vaguely, "I'm not very convenient, and I think if you make a move, you can also test the identity of the mysterious person behind you."
"The person behind me?" Draco touched his chin, "Perhaps, the Heavenly Dynasty also has two different opinions, but I think compared to the identity, his purpose is more confusing. He seems to hope that I can become the strongest Knight."
Harry's heart jumped, and he asked softly: "Then do you have confidence?"
"Still a little bit." Draco said in a tone with faint confidence, "Because I am a dragon, the Dragon that crosses the end." ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
