Old Deng, I don't believe you can't see what's going on!

In order to protect your beloved Harry, you threw me out to attract fire!

You are really great!

Argus sneered in his heart.

The basilisk has been in Hogwarts for who knows how many years.

Voldemort released it during school!

At that time, it also killed Myrtle, making Hagrid take the blame, causing Hagrid to be expelled!

He didn't believe that Dumbledore, who had been in charge of Hogwarts for so many years, would not be aware of this!

He thought so in his heart, but his expression did not change at all.

He replied calmly: "Professor Dumbledore, I have been in the library this afternoon, and I saw these on the way back to the dormitory."

"There should be many people in the library who have seen me, and they can all testify for me."

"Mrs. Pince also has an impression of me."

"Who knows if you deliberately stayed in the library for a long time, and then found an opportunity to run out early." Ron muttered in a low voice, but the people present heard it clearly.

At this time, the students of Hogwarts had not completely left, and many people heard this.

He could not help but look at Argus.

The fear in his eyes became more obvious.

His steps were a little faster, as if he was afraid that Argus would notice them.

Argus sneered, and his words did not leave Ron any face.

"Mr. Weasley, if I were you, I would think more before speaking."

"For such questions, just ask the students in the library and compare them with the time I appeared to judge."

"Besides, there are so many people in the library. If I can avoid one, can I avoid ten or a hundred?"

Ron's face turned blue and red. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to start.

Harry saw that Argus had gotten rid of suspicion, and was afraid that he would be suspected of himself, so he hurriedly explained.

"Principal, it wasn't me either! I have never touched Mrs. Norris, I swear!"

"Nonsense!" Filch was so angry that his hair almost stood up.

"Filch, calm down." Dumbledore was troubled by Filch's attitude.

When this happened, Filch's attitude had a crucial impact on other young wizards.

"In my opinion, Headmaster." Snape suddenly spoke up, interrupting the conversation between several people.

"Perhaps Mr. Potter and his friends really just happened to appear here."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, unable to believe that Snape would actually speak for them.

But Snape's next words made them believe again.

Snape is still the same Snape.

"With the magic level of Mr. Potter and his friends, it is estimated that even the levitation spell may not be able to be released smoothly."

"Not to mention the more difficult petrification spell."

Although Harry and the others were unwilling, they could only stare at Snape angrily.

Lockhart jumped out again to show his presence.

"I can also prove it for Mr. Potter!"

"Harry has been at my place tonight, helping me to reply to my fans."

"I just came out from Professor Sprout and came to find Harry on purpose!"

Seeing that Harry and Argus had ways to prove their innocence, Ron became anxious.

He spoke quickly, fearing that he would become the target of everyone.

As he spoke, he looked at Professor Sprout for help.

Professor Sprout gave him a soothing look, indicating that he would help him prove it.

"Until there is evidence to prove their guilt, all of them are innocent."

Dumbledore knew that he would not get anything out of asking further.

This sentence was the final conclusion of the whole matter.

Filch was not relenting and roared: "But my cat was petrified!"

"I want to see someone punished!"

"Mr. Filch, we will cure her." Dumbledore maintained his usual attitude.

"As far as I know, Professor Sprout has cultivated very healthy mandrakes."

"When they mature and the antidote is made, Mrs. Norris can be restored."

Professor Sprout nodded repeatedly and assured Filch.

Dumbledore did not give Filch a chance to get angry again, and said directly: "During this period, I suggest that everyone act with caution."

"Remember this!"

After a thorough analysis, none of them were suspected of committing a crime.

Dumbledore comforted Filch a few more times and let them leave.

When Argus returned to the Slytherin common room.

He found that everyone was waiting for his return.

"Chief! Are you okay?"

"Did Harry Potter and the others embarrass you?"

"We just heard that Potter and Weasley have been trying to throw dirty water on you!"

A group of people chattered, but their words were full of concern.

"Sorry, I made everyone worry about me."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Argus responded with a smile one by one.

"Chief!"

"What's wrong?"

"Are you... the heir of Slytherin?"

This sentence attracted the attention of all Slytherins.

Expectation, fear, doubt...

Many complex colors gathered on Argus.

Argus smiled lightly, turned his head, and glanced around.

"You all want to know, right?"

No one spoke, but everyone had already expressed it with their eyes.

Yes!

"I'm sorry to disappoint you." Argus shook his head: "I'm really not the heir of Slytherin."

Everyone looked disappointed when they heard this.

For the wizards of Slytherin, the founder of the academy is a mythical existence.

To be his successor is what everyone dreams of.

Even if they fail to become it, the head of the academy is the successor of Slytherin, which is also worth their excitement.

Unfortunately... Alas!

Sensing the disappointment of everyone, Argus spoke again.

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

"Don't be disappointed."

"Instead of chasing these illusory things, it is better to focus on the textbooks in front of you. If you take one step at a time, you may become a well-known wizard in the magic world."

Agus looked at everyone and continued, "Such a big thing happened tonight. As the head of the college, I have to issue several orders for this."

"From today on, no one is allowed to leave the lounge at night. If possible, it is best to stay in the dormitory."

"Second, no one is allowed to act alone unless necessary. For students in confinement, I will communicate with the dean and suspend your punishment."

"Third, the heads of each grade should do a good job of supervision and report any situation to the dean or professors in time."

"Except Professor Lockhart!"

"Do you understand?"

The Slytherins replied in unison: "Understood!"

Agus nodded and was about to go back to the dormitory when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Head, are you really willing! Among Slytherins, you are the most qualified to inherit the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets!"

"Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?" Agus chuckled, with a confident arc at the corner of his mouth.

"I never had to inherit Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

"Give me time, and I'll surpass Slytherin!"
