Chapter 186 He Can't Wait, and Neither Can I

Percy looked at Ginny's back, not understanding how he had angered his sister.

Aaron had no intention of explaining, but just mourned for Ginny in his heart for two seconds. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such a brother.

After a few classes, it was afternoon.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were still trying to find a way to enter Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, but Aaron was sitting calmly in the hall, ready to receive the mastermind behind a series of attacks.

He had already thought about it. As long as he got Riddle's diary, he would confront Professor McGonagall, the vice-headmaster, as soon as possible.

He just had to modify the facts a little, and minimize his presence while telling her everything.

There was no way. Before he had enough strength, keeping a low profile was the kingly way.

After knowing everything, Professor McGonagall would definitely invite Dumbledore back to take charge of the overall situation. With his ability, he could find the location of the secret room from Riddle's diary in a minute.

A principal with a luxurious lineup of several professors can easily control a small basilisk. He only needs to follow behind and complete two system tasks easily without any effort. At most, he can give the dying basilisk a final blow.

After working hard for half a year, today is the time to reap the harvest. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

But Aaron waited for most of the day and Ginny didn't show up, which made him a little worried.

The longer the time drags on, the greater the variables. After all, their opponents are not ordinary insidious and cunning. Who knows if they will turn the tables.

At this time, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly sounded in the auditorium: All students return to the dormitory immediately, and all teachers gather in the staff lounge immediately.

Hearing this, Aaron swallowed his saliva in a trance, and his worries instantly increased countless times.

What you fear will come true. It's not even six o'clock yet to let students go back to the dormitory, and all professors are gathered. Something must have happened.

Considering that Ginny hadn't come for so long, Aaron immediately stood up from his seat, picked up Abe who was eating watermelon crazily, and ran to the staff lounge.

Aaron was very fast and arrived at the destination almost at the same time as the professors.

"Gaius, what are you doing here?" Professor McGonagall said angrily, "Professor Snape, please send your students back to the dormitory to rest."

"Wait." Aaron said immediately, "Maybe I can help?"

"Help?" Professor McGonagall said in a slightly slower tone, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"I have confidence in my students." Professor Snape looked at Aaron meaningfully and said, "He also knows what he is saying."

"That's it." Aaron shrugged, "But the premise is that I need to know what happened here, and whether the person who got into trouble is the one I think."

"The heir of Slytherin left a line of words on the wall." Professor McGonagall was full of sorrow and trembling as she read, "Her bones will remain in the Chamber of Secrets forever."

Aaron opened his eyes wide, and the thing he was most worried about still happened.

He had planned to develop quietly and then surprise everyone, but he didn't expect that plans couldn't keep up with changes, and fate always liked to play tricks on him.

Now that the key evidence is gone, Ginny may be dead or alive, so he has no choice but to step forward.

Others' performances were not much better. Professor Flitwick screamed and almost couldn't help crying. Professor Sprout covered his mouth with both hands, and even Professor Snape was a little absent-minded.

The previous attacks caused several students, a pet, and a ghost to be petrified, but they can return to normal tonight.

But this line of blood words represents a murder case, and the lost life cannot be saved.

"Is it Ginny Weasley?" Aaron asked tentatively.

Professor McGonagall nodded subconsciously, but then looked at Aaron in confusion, "How did you know?"

"I know a lot, but it's too late to explain now."

"No, you have to explain it clearly." Professor McGonagall said anxiously, "If this matter is not handled properly, Hogwarts will have to close down."

At this time, Lockhart came over with a smile that deserved a beating on his face, which was seriously inconsistent with the atmosphere on the scene.

"Sorry, I took a nap, didn't I miss anything?"

"A girl was taken away by a monster." Snape looked at him with disdain, "Lockhart, your chance to show your skills has come."

Lockhart was confused. He could barely understand the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence contained too much information.

"What chance?"

"Didn't you swear last night that you knew where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?"

"Then it's settled." Professor McGonagall added, "The task of fighting the monster is left to you, Gilderoy, after all, your skills are superb."

Lockhart's face turned extremely pale when he heard this.

He was just bragging, although it was a bit exaggerated, but you can't really believe it!

How could he beat the monster with his small body? He would just be a plate of meat.

But seeing the anger in the eyes of other professors, if he dared to say no, he would probably be regarded as a target for them to vent their anger.

"No problem." Lockhart forced a smile, "I'll go to my office to make some preparations."

"No, a wand is enough." Aaron stopped Gilderoy Lockhart who was about to pack up and run away, "Although your opponent is a giant snake that is nearly dozens of feet long."

Lockhart swallowed his saliva, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.

Others ignored this clown who only had the ability to talk, but looked at Aaron with surprise.

Professor McGonagall walked up to Aaron as fast as if she had found a beam of light in the dark, "The monster in the secret room is a giant snake? Are you sure?"

"To be precise, it is a basilisk, a magical creature that can live for thousands of years. If you make eye contact with it, you will fall into death, and if you look at it indirectly, you will enter a petrified state.

I flipped through hundreds of books in the library before I found the clue about it."

"Wait." Professor Flitwick asked with a strange look, "Since you know it, why don't you report it? This way we have some defensive preparations."

"Because it is meaningless.

It's like you know that the murderer's weapon is a magic wand, but you can't find the real murderer among hundreds of teachers and students based on this clue." Aaron explained, "The book also says that the natural enemy of the basilisk is the rooster, and the rooster's cry is fatal to it."

"Then we..."

"Listen to me, Professor Flitwick.

Before I found this clue, Hagrid's roosters began to be killed.

If Hogwarts makes The corresponding strategy is to tell the heir that we know the existence of the basilisk. "Aaron looked at everyone present meaningfully, "Several attacks are enough to prove that the heir is not a good man, what if he wants to fight to the death?"

"This..." Professor Flitwick was speechless, "Okay, you are right."

"Then you can also tell us first, at worst we can keep our troops in place, or we can do it secretly..."

"Don't mention it secretly, Professor McGonagall." Aaron waved his hand impatiently, "The real situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.

It's not that I don't believe you, but what happened last year is still vivid in my mind. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have thought that Professor Quirrell would be the mastermind behind it?

In addition, to say something unpleasant, don't take it to heart.

I remember you seemed to say that Hogwarts had searched the castle countless times but couldn't find the secret room. The ability of the school really makes me ashamed. "

Professor McGonagall's mouth twitched, speechless.

If it were her, she probably wouldn't tell the clues to a partner who is neither capable nor trustworthy.

If something unexpected happens, it will be too unfair.

Professor Sprout wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

Professor Snape looked at the professors who were embarrassed and couldn't raise their heads, and his mouth curled up slightly, and he straightened his back unconsciously.

This is my Slytherin student, it really makes me proud.

"Aaron, then you tell us now... what is the reason?" Professor Snape asked.

"Because the heir can't wait any longer. No matter what the reason is, since he chose to attack Ginny, it means that he has taken the absolute initiative.

I can't wait any longer either, because I know the identity of the real murderer behind the scenes."

"Do you know the identity of the heir?" Professor McGonagall asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

"You may not believe it, but the murderer behind the scenes is not just one person?"

Professor Flitwick opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "Is it two people?"

"No, to be precise, he is not a person, but a diary that looks ordinary.

A magical item, the crazy heir 50 years ago left his memory in it to guide future generations to continue Salazar's career.

As far as I know, Ginny is the last person who has had contact with the diary.

When will a magical item with its own thoughts choose to devour its master? Either it feels a crisis, or it has accumulated enough power, or both.

Now that Dumbledore is not in school, the basilisk has no natural enemy. Even I have to admit that he picked a perfect time, which is so smart that it makes people feel scary. "Aaron said lightly, and then changed the subject, "But we still have a little advantage."

"What is it? Hurry up and tell me!" Professor McGonagall stamped her feet anxiously. This is related to whether Hogwarts can continue to operate, so she can't help but be anxious.

"We know that the murderer is a magical item, and we have a direction for investigation."

Professor McGonagall nodded a little disappointedly after hearing this.

This news is not bad, but it is not much better. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

"What about Ginny?" Professor Sprout asked, "What about Ginny Weasley? How can we explain to Arthur if we can't find her?"

"Um... Professor, in fact, I may know the location of the Chamber of Secrets." Aaron said slowly, and the next second he met several sharp eyes, as if asking him why he didn't tell him such important information earlier?

"I'm just guessing, but I don't have any substantial evidence.

And the location of the Chamber of Secrets, if the Slytherin heir misses one, it will be a huge hidden danger. I dare not gamble, but now I really can't wait."

"Where is the Chamber of Secrets?" Snape asked.

Aaron mustered up great courage and said, "If I'm not wrong, it should be the bathroom of Moaning Myrtle."
