Harry stared at the thoughtful Amosta anxiously, holding his robe tightly with his hands on his knees. The courage he had finally built up in his heart disappeared the moment he asked the question.
What would Mr. Blaine say?
Deep in his heart, Harry thought that Mr. Investigator, who felt very unusual when he came into contact with him, would not be so close to the rumors in the school, but If he could not withstand the pressure of the school board and urgently needed to hand over a murderer
"If you are asking for my personal opinion, Potter"
Amosta began spoke, and the knuckles of Harry's clenched fists turned white.
"I personally don't think you are the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets, Mr. Potter."
Harry's eyes suddenly widened, and his heart beat like the first in his chest. Riding a broomstick through the thin, cold clouds was so relaxing and enjoyable, and even the slightly dark office suddenly became bright and cheerful.
"But why, sir"
However, Harry still subconsciously asked, "My Parseltongue is because of this. I mean, people know Slytherin himself." It’s the most famous Parseltongue.”
Amosta laughed, and he glanced at Harry’s scar secretly, with a relaxed expression on his face.
"What does Parseltongue represent, Mr. Potter? In the one thousand years since Salazar Slytherin's time, there have been at least dozens of Parseltongues that have been clearly recorded in the wizarding world. I can't just think that you have some unclear relationship with the great founder of Slytherin House just because of this."
Looking at Harry, whose expression brightened, Amosta joked jokingly,
"There are many other facts that I cannot ignore. For example, I can't figure out why Salazar Slytherin, if he wanted to find himself an heir, had to choose from Gryffindor House.
For another example, the Boy Who Lived defeated the most evil dark wizard in history at the age of one and saved people in the British wizarding world from despair, fear and the shadow of death. How could Harry Potter, whom Albus Dumbledore, the greatest and wisest wizard, regarded as his favorite disciple, attack his classmates in school?"
Harry grinned, he I found that I started to like Mr. Amosta Blaine a little bit.
Since entering the wizarding world, many people have made a fuss about his defeat of Voldemort. Some people admire him immensely, while others think he is just a sensational little wizard. Some people hate him, while others are indifferent. . But no matter which attitude he had, Harry would feel heavy pressure when he mentioned this.
The only exception is Mr. Blaine. You can hear the ridicule without malice and respect from his tone, as if he is simply discussing an interesting little curse.
To be honest, before meeting Mr. Blaine, Harry never thought that one day he would be able to meet someone from Slytherin House.Wizards are such a joy to talk to.
"If you are worried because of the notice I posted, Mr. Potter, you don't have to be."
Amosta stood up and came to the fireplace. He refilled himself a cup of strong tea, and when he saw that the tea in Harry's tea cup had not been touched at all, he stopped feeling sorry for himself. It was already dark outside the window, and now only Hagrid was left in the Forbidden Forest. Cabin lights.
"From the beginning to the end, I never thought that I could get any useful information from people's reports."
Amosta was leaning against the fireplace, and Harry had to turn You had to turn around to see him, and before he could ask, Mr. Blaine explained himself.
"To be honest, before, I thought that as soon as the news spread that I entered Hogwarts to investigate the secret room as an investigator, the people who acted in secret would definitely react in some way, because since they dared to It's unlikely that someone who is causing trouble under Dumbledore's watch will tolerate a little-known investigator sent by the school board to dictate what I mean, Mr. Potter."
Harry frowned He thought about it carefully, then relaxed his brows and nodded.
What Mr. Brain probably means is that if the heir of Slytherin does not respond in some way to the presence of the Inquisitor, then people are most likely to think that he is frightened by the name of the Inquisitor and, as a daredevil, It is unlikely that someone who launched two more attacks on the young wizard while Headmaster Dumbledore was on alert would have endured such an indignity.
Amosta blinked with satisfaction and continued,
"I think he may be impatient to act again, so that I will catch him"< /p>
Staying in the office all day long, not even doing patrols, how can you catch other people's mistakes? Harry secretly rolled his eyes.
“The ideal situation is that the attacker comes to me directly to prove his ability. In that case, I can kill him and get the money, ahem, I mean, end the terrorist incident. "
Amosta showed slight annoyance,
"But I didn't expect him to be more cautious than I thought. I have been monitoring the castle for a week. But I didn't find anything wrong, which made me feel a little anxious, so I had to take some action to stimulate the patient lurker."
Harry understood, Brian Sir's act of posting the announcement is just a test. He hopes that the heir will regard it as a provocation after seeing the announcement and continue his great career as the heir of Slytherin.
After understanding this, Harry felt extremely relaxed.
Since Mr. Blaine believes that he is innocent, the rumors in the school will be more lethal to him. At least half of it, because his biggest worry was that Mr. Blaine would listen to the rumors.
"In that case,"
Harry stood up excitedly, "Mr. Blaine, if you don't think I did all thisSo, can you help? I mean, maybe you can issue another announcement to explain to everyone."
"It means you are innocent." Amosta smiled, "This is what you are here to do. Why are you looking for me, Mr. Potter? Haha, I thought you, like Filch, were here to report someone. "
Harry was greatly embarrassed. He expected that his request would not be granted, but he still said it bravely,
"You must already know, because Parselman "The little wizards all believe that I attacked Colin, Finch-Fletchley and Mrs. Norris. No matter where I go, everyone uses that accent."
Harry couldn't say any more, because he had already seen Mr. Blaine lost his smile and shook his head.
“I understand your current bad situation, Mr. Potter, but I cannot agree to your request. ”
Amosta’s tone was calm, and he did not make excuses just because the person standing in front of him was the protagonist, or because he was related to the mysterious memory that he had left that had not yet been processed.
"Just like I won't identify you as the attacker because of rumors, I also have no choice but to tell everyone that you are not a suspect without definite evidence. This is irresponsible. Responsible behavior, Mr. Porter, I hope you understand me. ”
There was indescribable pressure in Amosta’s deep eyes, which made Harry unable to continue making requests. Then, Mr. Blaine’s words also made Harry nervous again.
"Moreover, there are some things that you really need to give everyone a reasonable explanation. For example, on the night of Halloween last year, I mean, when the first attack occurred, after attending Nick's death anniversary party, The reason why you, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger appear in the corridor on the third floor is indeed very puzzling."
