Chapter 305 The Petrified Cassandra
The latest website: When Hermione walked out of the room and was about to return to the dormitory, she ran into Ron who came to look for her head-on. Seeing Ron running towards her quickly, Hermione couldn't help being taken aback, and blurted out and asked:
"Ron, why are you here?"
Ron stopped panting, and answered:
"I heard from Ginny that you ran out in a panic, and I was a little worried about you, so I came out to see, what's the matter, what happened?"
Hermione didn't think much, she shook her head, and replied:
"It's okay, I suddenly remembered a spell, so I specially found a secluded place to test it out, it's hard for you, you can find me so quickly."
Hearing Hermione's words, Ron's face was a little unnatural, and he said casually:
"Well, it's fine, let's go back first!"
In the end, Hermione still didn't say anything about the secret party, not to mention that the secret party has no malice towards herself or Hogwarts at the moment, and Hermione knows very well that these friends around her, In front of the members of the secret party, it is not enough to see at all. If it is said, it may bring them danger.
While contemplating, suddenly, there was a terrified scream, which made Hermione and Ron stop involuntarily.
Hermione and Ron glanced at each other, and the next second, Hermione ran towards the direction of the scream, and Ron was slightly stunned, and followed behind Hermione, towards the voice that came from direction to run.
When Hermione searched for the screams and came to a bathroom not far away, she saw a Gryffindor student collapsing at the door of the bathroom.
Seeing Hermione and Ron coming, the Gryffindor girl pointed forward with a face full of horror. Hermione looked in the direction of the girl's finger, and saw Cassandra fell to the ground stiffly, moving no.
Seeing this scene, Hermione thought to herself:
"Oh no!"
At this moment, Hermione, who knew Wentworth's identity, even thought that the consequences of Wentworth's anger would be borne by the whole of Hogwarts.
When Wentworth got the news, surrounded by Green and Cedric,
Coming here, after seeing Cassandra's appearance, Wentworth punched the bathroom wall.
Seeing this, Green and Cedric hurriedly stopped Wentworth.
Afterwards, Wentworth turned his head to look at the Gryffindor girl who had first discovered Cassandra, and was about to step forward to inquire, but was stopped by Hermione.
Seeing that the gloom on Wentworth's face became a little thicker, Hermione hurriedly said:
"Wentworth, calm down, listen to me, I was the first to arrive at the scene when I heard her screaming, I have asked her just now, she is just going to come to the bathroom to tidy up her clothes , and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Cassandra lying on the ground. She did not do this!"
Wentworth said impatiently:
"Of course I know she didn't do it, I just want to ask her a question!"
Hearing what Wentworth said, Hermione slowly moved away.
Wentworth stepped forward and asked:
"Did you find anyone else on the way here?"
The girl from Gryffindor had gradually recovered under the comfort of her classmates. When she heard Wentworth's question, she recalled it and finally shook her head slowly.
Seeing this, Wentworth took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, tried to calm himself down, and continued:
"Think about it carefully."
The Gryffindor girl recalled again and said:
"I... I was in a hurry to find a bathroom, but the places I usually go are a bit far away, so I searched in this direction. I didn't see anyone special along the way. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Cassandra fell to the ground and couldn't help screaming, and soon Hermione and Ron came running. Then, everyone came."
Hearing the girl's words, Wentworth nodded, then gave Green a look, and Green turned and left quietly.
Immediately, Wentworth looked at Hermione and Ron, and asked:
"You two, can you explain why you are here?"
Hearing Wentworth's inquiry, Hermione was about to speak, but she suddenly came to her senses. If she didn't tell what happened before, it seemed really difficult for her to explain why she appeared here.
Looking at Wentworth's aggressive gaze, Hermione could only say weakly:
"Wentworth, I do have my reasons for coming here, but this matter cannot be done by me! You...you believe me!"
Originally, Hermione felt that her defense was a little weak, but Wentworth nodded and said:
"I'm sure you didn't do this!"
Hearing that Wentworth really believed what she said, Hermione was taken aback for a moment, and then she was moved for a while.
However, Hermione was not moved for long before she heard Wentworth go on to say:
"Because it is impossible for Salazar Slytherin to find you as his heir, and you can't control his successor."
Hermione: "..."
Anyway, seeing that Wentworth didn't doubt herself, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next second, Wentworth asked Ron beside him:
"Ron, then, what about you? Why are you here?"
Hearing Wentworth's inquiry, Ron quickly explained:
"I'm here to find Hermione!"
Seeing that Wentworth was still looking at him suspiciously, Ron was also startled, and said in his mouth:
"I heard from my sister Ginny that Hermione ran out in a panic. I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I hurriedly chased her out. When I found Hermione and we were about to go back together , heard a scream, and we came here following the scream."
Hearing Ron's explanation, Wentworth nodded in understanding.
Wentworth knew that Cassandra was planning to use the Polyjuice Potion to disguise herself as Hermione to find Ginny. Combining Hermione and Ron's words, Wentworth had roughly figured out the reason why they appeared here.
Presumably Cassandra was disguised as Hermione, but was discovered by the real Hermione, so Hermione chased it out, Ginny told Ron about it, and Ron chased it out.
However, Wentworth always felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, the Hogwarts students gathered in the distance moved to one side to make way for a passage, and then saw Dumbledore, Professor Snape and others walking over.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Dumbledore evacuated the students as usual, and at the same time found someone to send Cassandra to the infirmary.
When the Hogwarts students gradually dispersed, Dumbledore looked at Wentworth who remained in place and did not leave. He couldn't help but sighed, and then said:
"If you have anything to say, come to my office and talk!"
