Hogwarts: I inherited my legacy

Hogwarts common room,

Hermione was warming herself in front of the fireplace and had finished her chocolate.

She took off her shoes and curled up on the sofa.

The large book is lying on her lap,

By this time the lantern had been extinguished,

The little witch holds a wand lit with [fluorescence] in her left hand.

He flipped through the pages of the book with his right hand,

She was already halfway through the book,

I already have a rough impression of "Tom Marvolo Riddle" in my mind.

Handsome, polite, quiet, and hungry for knowledge, the image of a quiet, pale and gifted poor top student emerges vividly on the page.

He is considerate and sweet-tongued.

If Raven hadn't mentioned it, this outstanding student might have been the legendary heir of Slytherin.

Hermione might also miss some details,

Many Slytherin students were a little afraid of this prefect.

A lone man who suppresses the entire academy with magic and ruthlessness,

The Slytherin students did not say it directly. This was a profile of Tom Riddle that Hermione pieced together from the Slytherin student records.

There was movement at the door, someone came in,

With the help of the firelight from the fireplace (fluorescent light, bright and concentrated, not as far as the fireplace.) Hermione saw a shadow,

For a moment, Hermione thought she must be tired of reading.

Because of the stranger's demeanor and posture, she almost thought it was the quiet and elegant male student president who might be hiding a deep secret walking towards her.

By the time Hermione realized that she was distracted, the visitor had already walked to the fireplace.

Under the dual illumination of fluorescent lights and the fireplace, Hermione finally saw the visitor's face clearly.

"Oh, it's Neville, good evening, why are you back so late?

Your pet 'Lif' has been found. Ron, they should put it in the house for you. "

Hermione said,

Neville and her have always had a good relationship;

If there were no Harry and Ron, then Hermione and Neville would be in a similar situation,

Although the reasons are different, they are all vaguely excluded and isolated by others.

One is too smart and the other is too stupid. They may have been friends who supported each other in the academy, just like Newt Scamander and Leta Lestrange.

But now that Hermione has experienced a big adventure with Harry, Ron, and Draco,

Neville has also been shining brightly recently due to his outstanding performance in herbalism classes and dueling clubs.

After all, the two people interacted a lot less, but this did not change their friendship.

Neville nodded and said in a calm and steady tone,

"I just met Harry and Ron. They told me, thank you."

Neville's blond hair shimmered under the firelight of the fireplace, his wheat-colored skin revealed a vibrant red, and his round face was a bit thinner and firmer due to recent duel training.

But Hermione always felt that Neville at this time overlapped with the pale and quiet figure with black hair and black eyes described in the book.

Hermione quickly shook her head,

Neville said concernedly,

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

It's a very gentle tone.

Hermione explained, "I'm fine, maybe I slept for too long during the day."

So Neville nodded slightly, "Well, okay, go to bed early. I'm going back first. Good night, Hermione."

Hermione responded.

"Well, good night, Neville."

Neville took his time and left the light, disappearing into the night.

He walked towards the stairs and returned to his dormitory.

"It's a pity that they saw it."

After walking back to the dormitory and closing the door, Neville spat out these words.

He walked to Neville's bed and kicked 'Lif' into the bottom of the bed.

He took out a black-covered diary from his robe, put it back under Neville's pillow, and then lay on Neville's bed.

"It's quick, it'll be done soon."

He murmured and fell asleep completely.

Ron and Harry didn't miss breakfast the next day. Hermione had already arrived before them.

It's just the little witch lying on the table.

"Hermione, are you here so early? Are you still hungry after eating the chocolate?"

Ron sat down opposite Hermione and said,

Harry sat down next to Ron,

When Hermione raised her head, two dark circles hung blatantly under her eyes.

Harry was startled, "Hermione, you couldn't have... stayed up all night!"

Hermione nodded numbly.

He sighed and looked like he didn't want to speak.

It wasn't until breakfast was served and Hermione downed a cup of hot Americano that she felt relieved.

With coffee to keep her alive, Hermione had the energy to tell her two companions what she had learned last night.

"Raven's right, I think there's something wrong with this Tom Riddle.

He was the one who reported Hagrid to the Ministry of Magic, saying that the Acromantula raised by Hagrid killed Myrtle. This is partly why he received the Special Contribution Award.

But you all know that Acromantula relies on venom and sharp claws to catch prey, but Myrtle's body is intact! You've seen her ghost! "

Ron thought for a moment and retorted,

"Perhaps Myrtle didn't show her dead face? A ghost can do that.

If according to your speculation, Myrtle did not die from the Acromantula,

Then just as we all know that there will be abnormalities on the corpse, the Aurors will also know that Hagrid is innocent and Myrtle was not killed by the Acromantula.

So why do they regard Hagrid as a prisoner? How could Dumbledore sit back and watch them slander students? "

Hermione frowned and said,

"You know that Hagrid has giant blood, but do you know that Myrtle is a Muggle-born witch?"

Harry and Ron both shook their heads.

Hermione continued, "Myrtle died in 1943. At that time, Muggle protection laws were ineffective because Muggles had not invented the nuclear bomb!

Hagrid is a mixed-race giant and is discriminated against.

At that time, no one cared about the death of a Muggle witch or the fate of a half-blood giant.

The Aurors must have used him as a scapegoat to close the case.

It is precisely because of this that Dumbledore was able to keep Hagrid at Hogwarts and give him a job, because everyone knew that Hagrid was innocent! "

Hermione said confidently.

Harry asked his own question, "Would Dumbledore allow Aurors to frame Hogwarts students?"

Hermione looked at Harry, "Although Dumbledore became the principal of Hogwarts in March 1943, he truly became famous in the wizarding world in 3.

That year he defeated Gellert Grindelwald, the most dangerous dark wizard in history.

In other words, Dumbledore in 1943 may really not be able to do it. He should have tried his best to keep Hagrid in Hogwarts. "

Reasonable and convincing,

Ron grabbed a custard bun, a dish popularized by Raven and well-received by the Headmaster, and now a permanent fixture on the Hogwarts breakfast list.

Ron bit into the bun and said, "In other words, as Raven said, we still have to go find Hagrid and Myrtle to find the heir related to Tom Riddle!"

Hermione nodded, that was it.
