Although the news of Ethan's death was concealed, his disappearance could not be concealed, and it soon became clear that an attack had occurred again.

What is even more frightening is that Ethan Granger is not a Muggle-born wizard, which scares the students who thought they would not be attacked.

As the founder of the Dawn Club and an assistant teacher in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ethan is quite popular, and many classmates feel sad because of his accident.

Of course there are always a few exceptions, such as Draco Malfoy.

Ethan's disappearance made him very excited. Harry and the others had just heard him talking nonsense with a group of Slytherin students in the corridor.

"I knew something was going to happen to him sooner or later," Malfoy said with a disgusting smile, "and I bet another Mudblood named Granger will be reunited with him soon."

Fortunately, Hermione stopped them, otherwise Harry and Ron would have rushed forward regardless and made Malfoy regret having a mouth.

"We still have tasks to complete," Hermione said calmly, "We can't cause trouble at this time."

Holding back this breath, they finally waited until night. After everyone else in the dormitory fell asleep, Harry and Ron sneaked out, and Hermione was already waiting for them in the common room.

"Let's go." Harry put the invisibility cloak on the three of them, and they walked out of the castle while being short and carefully avoiding the patrolling teachers, prefects and ghosts.

The night was beautiful tonight and the stars were shining brightly, but they were not in the mood to appreciate it and hurried towards Hagrid's hut with lights on in the distance.

"Dong dong dong!" When they came to the door, they took off their invisibility cloaks and knocked hard.

After a few seconds.

The door suddenly opened, and a fully armed Hagrid appeared in front of them, with Fang following him and barking towards the door.

"So it's you," Hagrid seemed relieved and put down the bow and arrow in his hand, "What are you doing here?"

"Have you heard about Ethan, Hagrid?"

Hagrid's tea-making hand shook and the tea spilled on the floor.

"I heard about it," he choked, "How could such a good child happen, how could he..."

"Hagrid, Ethan left a message for us," Harry interrupted. "He asked us to give this to you and ask you to take it with you."

With that said, Harry took out the small ball and handed it to Hagrid.

"Do you know what this is? Or did Ethan tell you something?"

Hagrid took the ball and looked at it carefully, then shook his head blankly.

"I……"

"Boom boom boom!"

His words were interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

Harry quickly covered them with the invisibility cloak again. After seeing them hiding, Hagrid stuffed the ball into his arms and then armed himself again.He slowly opened the door.

"Good evening! Hagrid."

Dumbledore walked in, followed by Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic.

At the same time, another uninvited guest is also coming here.

…………

Harry never dreamed that he would see Dumbledore kicked out of Hogwarts.

If Ethan were here, he would definitely say that he was making a fuss. After all, Harry witnessed the deaths of three of the most powerful bosses in the wizarding world a few years later, and he even killed one of them himself.

But for Harry now, Dumbledore's departure is nothing short of a bolt from the blue.

"They are really crazy." After everyone left, Ron got out from under the invisibility cloak. "If Dumbledore is not in the school, more students will be killed!"

"Hagrid was also captured," Harry said angrily. "He can't be the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets. The Ministry of Magic just wants to find a scapegoat!"

"And the clues Ethan left for us are also broken." Ron sat down on the dirty floor with some despair. "We still don't know what the function of that little ball is."

"Maybe this is the clue Ethan gave us?" Hermione suddenly whispered softly.

Harry and Ron looked at her at the same time.

"You just heard that one of the reasons for Principal Dumbledore's suspension was that another student death occurred in the school."

"Again?" They heard the point Hermione wanted to express. "You mean the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, it also caused the death of students?"

"It's very possible," Hermione's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Besides, why do you think the Ministry of Magic wanted to capture Hagrid? I remember that Hagrid also attended Hogwarts, and later because of a certain I was dropped out of school for some reasons.”

"You mean, Hagrid was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago?" Ron asked with his eyes wide.

"No way!" Harry glared at the two of them, "It can't be Hagrid, he..."

"Calm down, Harry." Hermione waved her hand impatiently, "We all know that it was Tom Riddle who opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago, right? But why did he receive the Special Contribution Award instead? Just put these When the clues are connected, we can get the answer.”

"Hagrid was framed," Hermione said helplessly when she saw the two of them still looking confused. "Riddle opened the secret room, killed a student, and framed Hagrid, and through this incident Winning the Special Contribution Award is the only reasonable explanation.”

"Then he recorded the method of opening the secret room in a diary, and left black magic on it to trick the person who got the diary into reopening the secret room." Ron also reacted, "Damn Malfoy, this is damned Bastard! He originally wanted my sister to open the secret room!"

"But what's the use, Hermione?" Harry said listlessly, "Even if we guess the truth, we still don't know who owns the diary, and Principal Dumbledore is gone, who else is in the school?" Can we catch him?"

"Didn't you hear what the principal said before he left, Harry?" Harry and Ron were surprised to find a smile on Hermione's face, "As long as there are still people who have not betrayed, the people who seem to have left are actually still around. .”

"I don't understand, Hermione, did Dumbledore say he would come back?" Harry wanted to hit the wall. He wanted to kill the Riddler now.

"Of course, he will come back."

"So what should we do now?"

"Next, we just have to wait."

"Wait?" Harry and Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief, "Are we just going to do nothing?"

"What we have to do now is to protect our own safety and not to be killed by the murderer again."

There was a sudden silence in Hagrid's room.

"I don't understand, Hermione." Harry's voice sounded hoarse, "Ethan's... body is still lying on the hospital bed, but you told me to do nothing but protect myself."

"Harry!" Hermione pursed her lips tightly, "Please believe me, I care about Ethan more than anyone else, but..."

"I'm not sure."

Harry turned his head and didn't look at her again.
