Chapter 174 List of Suspects

"This is the result of my hard work during this period." Aaron explained proudly, "I accurately analyzed the family relationships of all the students in the school, excluding those who were born in Muggles, had no relationship with Salazar within ten generations, and wizards who behaved normally during school. In the end, there were only these 23 people left."

"Are these the students you found who might be the heir of Slytherin?" Harry asked in confusion, "Why is Harry Potter not there?

Isn't he a Parseltongue?"

"Goyle, you are a little prejudiced." Aaron said meaningfully, "The heir will definitely speak Parseltongue, there is no doubt about that, but those who can speak Parseltongue are not necessarily the heir.

Harry may have Salazar's blood, but he will never use this power to hurt others."

"Do you believe him so much?" Harry was a little afraid to look at Aaron. Comparing what the two did, he felt ashamed.

"I am still very accurate in judging people." Aaron walked to the middle of the wall, waved his wand lightly, and all the names marked with crosses disappeared, and the remaining names gathered from various positions on the wall to the middle.

Twenty-three names suddenly became larger, flashing green light.

"This is impossible."

Ron suddenly stood up and looked at one of the names in surprise.

Ginny Weasley, his biological sister was also on the list of suspects.

"Calm down, Crabbe." Aaron said helplessly, "I don't know if there are any of your friends on this list, but I have carefully selected them, so there should be no mistakes."

Ron was stunned for a moment and quickly adjusted his expression.

He pointed to the name of Ginny Weasley, which was particularly conspicuous to him, and asked, "Is this a mistake? How could Weasley be related to Slytherin!"

Harry and Hermione looked at Aaron in disbelief when they heard this, especially Harry, who lived in the Burrow for a month during his vacation and knew the Weasley family.

Ginny is the youngest sister in the Weasley family, the most orthodox Gryffindor, and the ancestors of the Weasley family have no intersection with Slytherin at all.

"To be honest, she is the one I least want to suspect." Aaron said with some regret, "I lived in the burrow for two days before school started. Ginny Weasley is a pretty good little girl."

"Then you still..."

"Listen to me, Crabbe.

First of all, Ginny is a freshman. According to my analysis, the heir of Slytherin is more likely to be a freshman. Of course, I didn't let go of the old students.

Secondly, you may not have noticed, but I noticed that Ginny has been abnormal these days. Fred, George, Percy and Ron, the four Weasleys, always think of various ways to make her happy.

I actually hope that it is the pressure of study that makes her depressed and in a bad state, but she was too nervous before and after Justin was attacked.

In my opinion, that kind of behavior is a guilty conscience of doing a big mistake and being afraid of being discovered."

"Maybe it's just pure fear!" Ron found a reasonable reason for his sister. She encountered a murder case in the first semester of school. It's natural for a little girl to be afraid!

"Maybe, but excluding the possibility of fear, Ginny Weasley is the most suspicious."

"What about the others?" Hermione asked, "Why are the remaining 22 people on this list?"

"Draco." Aaron frowned in confusion, "You used to trust me, but why do you have so many questions today?"

"Curiosity."

Aaron shrugged and pointed at the names and said, "Except for Ginny Weasley, some of the remaining people have lost their parents and grew up in an orphanage. There is no way to find out their family background. They are either Muggle-born, Either they are mixed blood, or maybe they have Salazar's blood.

Some of them became silent or excited after the attack, and their contact with other people was reduced a lot. It might be because they were simply afraid, but it might also be because they were worried about being discovered.

There is also a small part of them who have bad personalities, are cynical, and have almost no friends. They may also be the heir of Slytherin, but they are less suspicious than the first two groups. "

After listening to Aaron's explanation, Harry and the other two looked at each other, and couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while.

It took them several months to select a list, and it is still valuable.

"Besides the basilisk and this list, what else do you know?" Harry asked.

Aaron glanced at him with some suspicion, not understanding why these people were talking so much today, but still said: "The location of the Chamber of Secrets..."

"Did you find it?"

The three looked at him excitedly. If they found the Chamber of Secrets, they could tell Dumbledore directly. As long as the basilisk could be eradicated, even the heir of Slytherin would be helpless.

"What are you thinking about?" Aaron rolled his eyes at the three of them, "Hasn't Hogwarts been looking for so many years and still found nothing?

These days I have searched most places in Hogwarts, classrooms, libraries, school hospitals, and even professors' offices, but I couldn't find it.

I have ruled out many places, but there are still a small number left, which can be regarded as a narrowing of the scope! "

"Where else is left?" Harry asked anxiously. Aaron was the only one who could find a limited number of places, but if the three of them had enough clues, they might not be unable to find the secret room.

"Why are you in such a hurry?

Goyle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, you really should learn from Draco, it won't hurt to be calm."

"Uh...Malfoy mainly wants to help you."

Hermione nodded immediately, "This is what good friends should do."

"Okay! But the remaining places are difficult for me to check!" Aaron sighed for a long time, "First of all, the principal's office, I haven't checked Dumbledore's place, but it's unlikely.

Secondly, the Forbidden Forest, magical animals like to gather there, but it's too dangerous and the range is very large.

Then there is the Black Lake. Slytherin College is the symbol of the water element, and the Black Lake is the largest water source for Hogwarts.

There are also the common rooms of the other three colleges, but these places generally do not welcome students from other colleges.

"The last is..."

Harry's heart sank as Aaron mentioned each location.

I wanted to help him, so that if Aaron found out later, they would have their own explanation.

We accidentally lied to you, but we also helped you find the Chamber of Secrets, all for Hogwarts!

With this reason, we can't say that we owe each other nothing, but it can at least reduce his anger!

But now it seems that there is no need to think about it. The safest place here is the principal's office. Unless you make a big mistake or make a great contribution, it is impossible to get in. They are not relatives of Dumbledore.

Hermione had the same idea as Harry. Her face was also very solemn. Her hands kept grabbing her robe, as if she wanted to dig a hole in it.

As for Ron, he didn't think so much. His attention was now on Ginny. Nothing was more important than eliminating his sister's suspicion.

After a few seconds, the three of them came to their senses and looked at Aaron blankly.

After a moment of silence, Hermione asked, "What is the last thing? Tell me! "

Aaron hesitated for a while, and smiled awkwardly, "I've said enough, you guys should guess the last one yourself!"

"No way, it's the last one!"

"It has nothing to do with being stingy, it's really not something I can say." Aaron said with a wry smile, the last place is the women's bathroom, what did he say?

Although the four here are all men, and they can all be considered his own people, he doesn't want to be regarded as a pervert.

"In short, don't worry about the location of the secret room.

If you really want to help me, find the heir of Slytherin among these twenty-three people!" Aaron said, "The key is Ginny Weasley.

I lived in the burrow for two days, and I didn't want to but couldn't help but suspect her. With such complex emotions, the investigation will be more or less affected by emotions.

But Draco, you are different. The relationship between Malfoy and Weasley is almost known to everyone, and your investigation will not arouse other people's suspicion. "

Hermione was stunned for a moment. This made sense, but the problem was that she was not Draco Malfoy!

"No problem, leave it to me... us." Ron said with a serious face. He was Ginny's brother, and it was not much easier to investigate than Malfoy.

Harry and Hermione looked at him in astonishment, with a hint of bitterness in their eyes.

They naturally knew what Ron was thinking, but he seemed to have forgotten that they were not the Malfoy trio!

It would be fine if Aaron didn't ask in the future. If he asked, Draco himself didn't know what was going on, and the consequences would be very sour.

"Is it so easy?" Aaron was a little surprised, but looking at the confident Crabbe, he didn't know what to say, and with Draco's help, he should be able to handle it.

"By the way, Ginny is a first-year student after all, and she's a girl.

You can hint at it, but you can't scare her, let alone bully her.

Just give me some face and temporarily put aside your prejudice against Weasley. If you can't do it, I'll do it!" Hermione felt as if she had been pardoned when she heard this. As long as she shook her head, some misunderstandings could be avoided. But before she could speak, Ron patted his chest and promised, "Absolutely no problem." "Crabbe." Hermione glared at Ron fiercely, "It's not your turn to make promises here, Malfoy hasn't spoken yet!" Hearing this, Ron also came back to his senses and closed his mouth in dismay. "Aaron, actually..." Hermione was about to refuse tactfully when she realized that her body began to change and her golden hair was becoming fluffy.

She subconsciously looked at Harry and Ron. One of them had green eyes and a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. The other's hair began to turn red.

"The time for the Polyjuice Potion is almost up." Hermione muttered to herself. Harry and Ron also realized that the situation was not optimistic.

The next moment, the three of them stood up at the same time.

"I suddenly remembered that Professor Snape wanted to see me." Hermione said this and walked out of the house.

The three of them ran all the way, ran out of the Slytherin common room as if they were escaping for their lives, and rushed through the stone door into the long and dark corridor.
