Chapter 86

Professor McGonagall walked out of the Fat Lady's portrait, and the Gryffindor common room suddenly boiled over. Many people were discussing the Chamber of Secrets.

"Tang Tang Nade might know something." Hermione whispered, "I was at the attack scene when I came out of the library today."

"What?" Harry and Luo En immediately surrounded her. Neville looked around nervously.

"When I came out of the library, I saw Senior Clearwater walking not far in front of me, and then Tang Tang Nade called me hurriedly. It looked like he had been waiting at the library door." Hermione said in a voice that only a few of them could hear, "He said, thank goodness you are fine. I had better accompany you back to the dormitory, because the school is not safe now."

"Then, after walking around a corner, we found Senior Clearwater lying on the ground. Her expression was quite confused, and then the person was already petrified." Hermione lowered her voice again, "When Tang Tang Nade told me it was not safe, Clearwater was still fine."

"Did you ask him anything?" Neville asked.

"Asked. He said it was divination that told him." Hermione said, "I think it's very strange, but I can't say what the problem is."

"So, the fourth person attacked is Penelope Clearwater, Percy's rumored girlfriend?" Luo En looked back at Percy. He seemed to have known this news, and his face was pale, sitting blankly on a chair.

"Yes, she is the female prefect of Ravenclaw." Hermione added, "The attack scene was two or three steps away from the first corner after coming out of the library. Nothing was left at the scene, only the petrified victim."

"I think Penelope and Jia Siting should have been attacked by the same method." Harry said, "They both saw something before being petrified."

"The same thing, making Jia Siting feel terrified, while Penelope felt confused."

"Perhaps it is a Basilisk." Luo En said, "Jia Siting is only in the second year. He was frightened by the 'huge snake', while Penelope is a very excellent witch. Perhaps she is not afraid of snakes, just wondering 'why is there a big snake here'."

"A Basilisk?" Hermione also looked a bit surprised, "But looking at the Basilisk will kill you. Why was she only petrified?"

"We can't suspect it's a Gorgon." Neville said helplessly, "I think this matter still needs to be investigated again."

Harry nodded thoughtfully, but another confusion surged into his heart. Now the diary was still well locked in his box. If the one who attacked Penelope was also the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, then how was the Chamber of Secrets opened?

After returning to the dormitory, Harry took out the diary again with a stomach full of mysteries. This time, he wanted to have a good talk with Tang Mu.

"Hello Tang Mu, I am Deng Buliduo." He wrote.

"Hello, Professor, happy to serve you." A line of fancy script floated up slowly.

"I want to know," Harry wrote, "if you remember who you have talked to before."

He didn't ask about the Chamber of Secrets directly, because that would undoubtedly arouse Tang Mu's vigilance. He hoped to proceed step by step and harvest some information by side-attacking.

Suddenly, with a bang, a puff of smoke surged out of the diary and slowly condensed into a human figure. It was a very handsome face. Harry swore he had never seen such a beautiful boy.

"You are lying. You are not Deng Buliduo at all." That face said, "I won't tell you. People who lie don't deserve my sincerity."

A feeling of anger for no reason surged into Harry's heart. This was just a magical item. It belonged to him. It had no right to resist...

Harry only felt his head was heating up, and his scar was jumping. He said angrily: "Obey your master!"

Tang Mu seemed to be frightened. He froze for a moment, then shrank back into the diary, and lines of words began to float up.

Harry himself was scared by himself. He didn't know why he suddenly wanted to get angry at Tang Mu, and he didn't know why he would say such words.

However, soon he was attracted by the text on the diary and began to check Tang Mu's records.

Draco Malfoy is a very proud and snobbish person. He always tells me how excellent he is and despises most other students. He thinks Harry Potter is one of the few friends worth making because he is very capable and can provide help for himself. Besides that, only Pan Xi can understand his intentions. This girl has no other shortcomings except looking like a pug, Malfoy thinks he can still tolerate it. Correspondingly, Crabbe and Gao Er have no other advantages except loyalty, but Malfoy still doesn't mind keeping them by his side. He thinks that powerful and elegant nobles need reckless and foolishly loyal retainers to set off themselves.

Pansy Parkinson likes Draco very much, even can be said to be admiring. She thinks Draco is the most perfect noble, handsome, elegant, and black-bellied, and is the best destination for a daughter of a wealthy family like her. Pansy knows Draco's principle of making friends. She hopes to make herself useful to him, so I told her that she can provide emotional value for Draco, making him truly feel admired and needed, which will make a proud person unable to extricate himself. Pansy really did this. Draco is very satisfied with her, and they started dating, but it is not very sweet, because the sprout of this love originated from common interests.

Cui Ge Fontroy is the person I can't understand the most. His way of thinking is different from most British people, always full of passion, willing to sacrifice his own interests to maintain justice. However, Cui Ge is also the person with the clearest goal. He is frantically pursuing Lu Na, partly because his uncle asked him to do so, and partly because he also thinks Lu Na is very beautiful. This might be related to his experience. He told me that he lived in Yingzhou since he was a child, and his mother raised him alone. It wasn't until he was ten that Cui Ge recognized his uncle in the United States. This uncle is so powerful and wealthy that he doesn't want to let his uncle down, and Lu Na also comes from a single-parent family, and the two can understand each other very well. They both learned to use behaviors different from ordinary people to alleviate their loneliness since they were young.

Luna Lovegood is a firm and calm person. She has always just treated Cui Ge as a good friend who has nothing to talk about. She thinks it is too early to talk about the feelings between men and women at this age. She lives completely in her own world, only expresses opinions on content she is interested in, and is always dazed about things she is not interested in, and she is used to speaking bluntly and showing her true self. These personalities are very cute in Cui Ge's eyes, but I think this shows that her father didn't teach her the meaning of EQ. Perhaps only Cui Ge can be considered her friend, because most normal people can't stand someone like Luna. However, Luna herself doesn't care about this point anyway.

Ginny Wei Wei Silai is a bold and lively girl, but in front of Harry Potter, whom she admires, only the shyness and inferiority of a little girl remain. Ginny's textbooks and robes are all second-hand, used by her brothers, while everything of Yi Fu is new. She and Harry live in a luxurious manor; the only topic Ginny dares to talk to Harry about is Quidditch and flying brooms, but Harry's excellence makes her feel inferior. Besides, girls should be as elegant and quiet as Yi Fu. How could Harry like a mud child who doesn't understand etiquette? She can't even compare to Yi Fu, let alone Zhang Qiu from the mysterious East. She is so beautiful, gentle, and has a powerful background, and can always help Harry. Harry is deeply fascinated by her. This troubles Ginny very much. How she hopes Harry can look at her a few more times, but she is worried that Harry doesn't like her.

Eve Crowley is an innocent and simple girl, but only in the matter of Harry Potter, her scheming is very deep. Eve uses the diary to deceive Ginny, making her think that she is Harry Potter's own younger sister, so Ginny doesn't regard her as a threat, but as an aid. Then, Eve skillfully guides Ginny to target Zhang Qiu. She knows that as Luo En's younger sister, it is hard for Harry not to consider Ginny's opinion, but Harry is an upright person, and he won't like Ginny who shows hostility to others. In this way, when Ginny and Zhang Qiu both lose, and Harry feels disgusted with both of them, he will realize that there is actually another gentle and cute girl waiting for him beside him. The only thing that makes Eve feel uneasy is the bloodline problem. She herself is a Muggle-born, while Ginny comes from the pure-blood Wei Wei Silai family.

Vincent Crabbe is a child whose brain is not very bright. He has almost no abstract thinking, which leads to his understanding of most things being inaccurate. Crabbe has his own simple survival philosophy, which is to rely on Malfoy. For Crabbe, limited by his ability, he cannot complete many things alone, which leads to his life looking very monotonous. Apart from eating and sleeping, he doesn't have much to do. Malfoy is not only a protector for him, but also a guiding light. If Malfoy doesn't give him orders, he will never know what he can do.

Gregory Gao Er is very similar to Crabbe, which leads to them becoming very good friends, because they use the same set of lifestyle, and can even be said to share a brain. Unlike Crabbe, Gao Er can understand and absorb knowledge without any obstacles, but his thinking is very sluggish and he cannot string knowledge or phenomena together in his mind. This leads to Gao Er performing better than Crabbe in general courses, but his spell-casting ability is always not as good as Crabbe's.

After reading Tang Mu's summary of the children's diaries, Harry had to admit that among the Eight-Person Group, Jin Ni and Yi Fu were indeed the most likely to open the Chamber of Secrets.
