The one who was petrified along with Hermione was naturally Penelope, who was also reading in the library at that time.
The snake was obviously targeting Hermione, and Penelope was obviously an innocent bystander. This Ravenclaw Squad Leader was also good friends with Béla, so Béla was naturally a little flustered.
Especially after coming here and seeing Jon speak in such a tone, she naturally became angry.
"Why are you talking to me so loudly? I haven't even scolded you yet. You don't tell anything to your own family, and yet your own sister doesn't know about the things that everyone else knows. Don't you think it's very pitiful for your sister to be kept in the dark by you? "
Béla had obviously been suppressing her anger for a long time. After all, it was very infuriating that her own brother didn't value her existence.
Moreover, girls were naturally a little sensitive. She didn't say anything in the past because Jon didn't hide anything from her, but at the same time, Jon didn't take the initiative to tell her about his own matters.
She didn't care in the past. After all, her brother had grown up, and most of the time, as an elder sister, she couldn't care too much. But now, something had really happened that made her feel uncomfortable.
Penelope Crivat was her good friend, the very, very good kind. They didn't hide anything from each other, and never interfered with each other's decisions. Even if Penelope had a new boyfriend, the extremely annoying Percy from Gryffindor, she only had a blessing attitude.
But now that something had happened to Penelope, she had no choice but to ask her brother.
"Just because of this? I remember that Penelope seems to have a boyfriend, the Squad Leader from the Weasley Family in Gryffindor? She isn't even worried, so why are you so anxious? "
Jon's face was full of indifference, but he didn't know how much the water vapor clone showed.
He really felt that this matter wasn't important.
There were always many people around Hermione to protect her. They were afraid that something would happen to her. Not to mention the spirits, even some of the senior students were not spared.
Moreover, Jon knew a little about what happened today. Hermione and the others were petrified because they saw the snake monster in the mirror. Part of the reason was because Liddell's soul wasn't the only one controlling the snake monster. Although Jenny was controlled, she was still a person with her own consciousness and hadn't completely lost it.
So, they didn't die. Or rather, so many people in the school who had been attacked didn't die. Most importantly, it was because Jenny hadn't intended to hurt anyone.
Therefore, since he was not dead, removing the petrification was just a matter of using a potion. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
Béla, she was really confused by her concern.
"Don't worry, just go back and wait. Our people will naturally take care of this matter. As for … Penello, don't worry. Professor Sprout can concoct the antidote at any time. It's not a big deal. If you're worried, you can take care of him yourself."
Jon had put in too much effort over there and wasn't in the mood to discuss things with Béla here. He explained the situation in a few sentences and didn't say anything else.
Seeing him like this, Béla knew that he had something to do. In any case, Penello was fine, so she didn't have anything else to do. She turned to leave.
"Be careful when you go back. Lucius Malfoy and Connelly Fudge have already arrived at the school. Don't run into them. If you run into Dumbledore, he'll naturally cover for you. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine."
Béla didn't say anything and just left. Jon dispersed his clone and retracted his consciousness. He went back to work on the Magic Net.
… …
Percy Weasley, who had been mentioned by Jon, sat in a chair and listened to the voices of the people around him. For the first time in his life, he wasn't in a hurry to express his opinion.
He looked pale, as if he had been frightened.
"Percy is terrified," George whispered to Harry. "That Ravenclaw girl, Penello Cleavage, is a prefect. Percy probably thought that the monster wouldn't dare to attack a prefect. "
But Harry wasn't listening carefully.
He couldn't seem to shake off the image of Hermione lying in the hospital bed, stiff and lifeless like a stone statue.
If the culprit wasn't caught soon, he would have to go back to the Dursleys for the rest of his life. Tom Riddle had wanted to expose Hagrid because once the school closed, he would face the prospect of going back to Muggle Orphanage.
Now Harry completely understood how he felt.
"What should we do?"
Ron whispered in Harry's ear. "Do you think they're suspicious of Hagrid?"
"We have to talk to him," Harry said, making up his mind. "I can't believe it's him this time. But since he let the monster out last time, he must know how to get into the chamber. That's a breakthrough. "
"But Professor McGonagall said we have to stay in the castle, unless we're in class —"
"I think," Harry said, his voice even softer, "it's time to take out my father's old robe again."
In the evening, Harry and Ron went to bed as usual. They waited until Neville, Dean, and Seamus stopped discussing the secret room and finally fell asleep. Then they got up from the bed, dressed again, and put the robes on the two people.
They didn't notice that a ghost was following them, as if the invisibility cloak didn't work on it.
They walked through the eerie corridors, and it wasn't a pleasant journey.
Pairs of teachers, prefects and ghosts patrolled the corridors, looking around for anything unusual.
Harry's invisibility cloak didn't prevent them from making a sound. There was one particularly dangerous moment when Ron suddenly tripped and Snape was standing guard a few steps away.
Fortunately, Snape sneezed at almost the same time that Ron cursed.
When they finally reached the oak door and gently opened it, they breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before they could ask anything, the door that had just been closed opened again.
The knocking was very loud.
Harry and Ron had to use the invisibility cloak to hide.
A few strange-looking, serious-looking people walked in from outside, one of them was Dumbledore.
They were discussing something. To be honest, Harry didn't really understand, but he could clearly hear the voices of these people wanting to take Hagrid away and Dumbledore's objection.
But that wasn't all, as the knocking came again.
This time it was Lucius Malfoy, and he brought something even more shocking — Dumbledore's dismissal order.
