After class, Harry, Ron and Hermione walked out of the classroom to discuss the information they had just obtained from Professor Binnes.

"I knew Salazar Slytherin was a perverted old lunatic." Ron said in disgust.

Hermione is still combing through the current information: "Professor Bins mentions the monster in the secret room, no one knows what it is, but Harry, we already have a direction."

She glanced at Harry deeply.

Harry understood his words magically, and he quickly glanced around and whispered: "You mean, my snake-like accent..."

Ron also looked at the two of them with horror.

"That's right!"

The three of them squeezed through the crowded corridor and soon arrived at the corridor where the attack occurred.

The scene in front of me changed a lot from that night. The accumulated water was emptied, and the petrified cat was no longer hung on the torch stand, and the words "The secret room was opened" were also cleaned up.

However, there was an empty chair beside the wall.

"Felch has been standing guard here," Ron whispered. "He has been very irritable recently and often finds various reasons to deduct points, such as speaking too loudly or having a hippie face."

"But it has nothing to do with us. We just need to check the scene and see if there are any missing clues," Hermione said.

Several people acted quickly, Harry lay on the ground, his glasses almost pressed on the ground, and soon he found traces of burning, and Hermione also discovered the spectacular scene of spiders queuing up to escape the castle.

"What does this mean?" Harry was a little puzzled.

Ron was far away from the spider, looking horrified: "This can illustrate many problems - for example, the spider is afraid of that monster."

Hermione sorted out the clues as usual: "So, the attack was a snake, which was characterized by its attacks that could cause petrification and was a natural enemy of spiders. This clue is very close to the truth!"

The little witch said excitedly: "Give me a week, at most two weeks, I can find out its information. Ron, to be honest, why are you shaking all the time?"

So next, Ron told the story of her twins using crappy magic to turn the bear into many legs when she was holding a teddy bear when she was a child, which made her giggle.

Ron said angrily: "If you had such an experience, you wouldn't be funny. Imagine you were holding a teddy bear and calling its name, but it suddenly had many legs... "

"The water on the ground is gone," Harry said suddenly.

"It may be someone who cleaned the floor, like Felch, and that's his job." Ron strode without hesitation.

"But where did the accumulated water come from?" Harry intuitively thought this might be a clue.

"Ah! I thought of it." Hermione screamed.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought of a possible witness, she was next door to us, probably witnessing the entire attack."

Following her gaze, the two boys looked at the girl's bathroom sign and swallowed together.

...

After supper, they walked out of the castle and followed the path to Hagrid's cottage.

Along the way, they were still arguing about what happened during the day.

"If I ask me, we shouldn't go to the girls' bathroom, that Myrtle, and that place... it's a nightmare! And we were discovered by Percy." Ron quipped along the way.

"But we also know that she died fifty years ago. Before she died, she saw a pair of big scary yellow eyes. What does this mean? That is the snake's eyes."

Hermione ignored Ron's muttering "not necessarily" and continued: "Your message is also useful, and we also know the name Tom Riddle, who won the school's Special Contribution Award fifty years ago, perhaps it's no coincidence!"

Harry's eyes widened, "You mean, that Tom ended the previous heir to the secret room."

"That's right."

The three of them knocked on Hagrid's door and enthusiastically welcomed the three little wizards in.

Ron looked surprised, "Hagge, your house is clean."

Indeed, the three of them looked at Hagrid's hut, not a little clean, at least to the naked eye, the black ground turned into a dark brown floor.

"Oh, you say this," Haeger said casually: "Last time Professor Haip came to visit me, and helped me clean up before leaving. It was very simple for him, just wave his wand."

"Professor Happ?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Yes, Professor Hepp. Dumbledore recommended him to come. He needs some advice on magical animals. I am an expert in this area, but in fact he is not bad. He is very insightful in some remote directions, yes, very insightful."

Hagrid served a plate of crispy biscuits, a pot of pumpkin juice and three cups. He said proudly: "Professor Hap is an excellent wizard. I didn't have much contact with him when he was in school, but-" He pointed to a book on the chair, "Look, that's his gift to me!"

The three of them couldn't wait to open the book, and Hermione discovered that the book was somewhat similar to the comic strips of Muggles, most of which were photos, and there were short introduction texts under each page.

"Are these magical animals?" Ron asked curiously, it was completely different from what he had seen when he was a child.

"No, this is a creature of the Muggle world." Harry said excitedly, "Look, this is a lion, this is a giraffe-it has a long neck, I've seen it at the zoo, this is a badger, which is somewhat similar to the Hufflepuff logo, but they are certainly not one."

Hermione is familiar with these animals. She has read the complete set of Encyclopedia of Britain, which contains chapters about animals. But the pictures in the Muggle books will not move.

So Hermione asked, "Is this a book made by Professor Hepp himself?"

Hagrid poured a big mouthful of butterbeer and burped: "Yes, I'm very attentive, right? I think I owe him a favor..."

After more than half a day, the three of them remembered their purpose.

"Secret Room? Heir? Monster?" Hagrid's face suddenly turned pale.

"Yes, we found some clues, fifty years ago..." Harry was about to introduce their discovery, but was quickly interrupted by Hagrid.

"Listen, there is no secret room, no monster, that's just an accident!" Hagrid was a little excited, waving his thick palm, and then his voice became smaller, muttering: "It's really an accident. No one thought that something would happen, no one..."

Then the three were driven out of the hut.

"He definitely hid something!" Ron said angrily.

"We can see this."

The three of them returned to the warm public lounge and had to face the reality and started to work.

After a while, Hermione suddenly closed the book, which scared the two of them.

"Who will that heir be?" Hermione asked them in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself.

"It must be a Slytherin, I guess it's Malfoy." Ron said quickly.

Harry immediately accepted this view, "Maybe it's really him. You think that their family has been pure blood for generations. He has reason to do so. And the most important point is that he has suffered a significant blow recently - he was detained by Professor Hepp for insulting Hermione!"

Hermione's breathing suddenly stopped.

Ron also seemed to have found a theoretical basis, "Harry, you said it's right. It must be him. Maybe the Malfoy family is a successor of Slytherin. Their family has kept this secret for generations... right, Hermione?"

At this time, the twins came over from a distance, "I seem to hear you talking about Professor Hayp, what interesting things did he do?"

The twins sat on both sides of Harry and Ron.

"Nothing." Ron said quickly.

Fred next to him hugged his shoulder with one hand and shook his eyes at the three of them, "Don't do this, we can exchange information. We admire Professor Happ too."

George next to Harry said with a smile: "Yes, I admire you very much. We want to take him apart and study his head well."

Fred sighed, "George, your tone seems to be that we have some malicious intentions towards Professor Happ."

“Is there any?”

"Of course not."

"We can at most—"

"Try to imitate his magic puppet." The two of them said one by one, and finally said in unison.

Harry thought for a while, "Well, we went to Hagrid's hut in the evening and saw a magic book given by Professor Hagpi."

“What is it about?”

"Muggle animals, you know, Hagrid is obsessed with these."

"Cool!" the twins looked at each other and said together.

Ron said: "It's your turn, we agreed to exchange information."

Fred blinked, "Our little Ronnie has seen it-"

"—It's not easy to cheat." George followed.

"But - who made you our younger brother?" Fred often teased and whispered: "We can provide information, you know, we are fans of Professor Hepp. If any of you want to know his whereabouts, such as launching an encounter or something..."

Ron said in surprise: "You are following the professor?"

"Don't say that, we just got a little help, for example, Professor Hayp has been to the Forbidden Forest in recent times." Fred shrugged and casually said a big news.

"Forbidden Forest?" Hermione said in surprise.
