The sandalwood burned out and the dinner soon came to an end.

Jian Yu received the highest level of treatment. Every ghost rushed up to greet her and asked her if she planned to settle down with them after graduation.

Nick, who was almost headless, wiped his tears and sent Jian Yu out with many thanks:

"I'm so touched, my friend! You've been a great help... If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me!"

......

Jian Yu climbed the stairs back to the ground, only to find Professor Snape standing at the end.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted, his hands were crossed in front of his chest, his black robe hung on the steps, and his gloomy eyes looked down at her along his hooked nose:

"I assume you know today is the Halloween party and you should stay in the hall."

"Instead of running around the castle like a headless chicken."

Jian Yu was a little confused after being suddenly addressed in a sarcastic tone.

"Follow."

Snape threw his robes aside and led her upstairs.

At the stairs on the third floor, he suddenly stopped.

"If Dumbledore asks you where you've been, you must answer truthfully - are you a troll?"

Jian Yu didn't have time to brake and bumped into his back, causing him to stagger.

But she no longer cared about what Snape said, because she saw the glaring, blood-red words on the wall:

[The secret room has been opened]

[Those who are enemies of the heir, beware]

Mrs. Norris lay stiff on the ground, her eyes wide open and staring.

Dumbledore was standing in front of the wall, looking solemn, while Filch was kneeling on the ground, stroking his cat with his bony hands and crying bitterly.

When they saw Jane, Filch screamed and turned his tear-stained face towards her:

"You! You killed my cat! I'm going to kill you!"

What kind of murder scene is this?

Jian Yu took a breath of cold air.

No, shouldn't this kind of occasion be the place for the protagonist to show off his skills?

She looked around but didn't see Harry and his group.

The absence of the protagonists means that this is not an important or dangerous plot.

She felt relieved.

The dormant thoughts immediately became active again.

Maybe I can take the blame and let the mastermind put the blame on myself, thus getting successfully fired!

She immediately smiled.

Dumbledore came up to her, his usually gentle eyes full of suspicion.

"Where were you at dinner time, Miss Jane?"

She thought about it and felt that admitting on the spot that she had done it was too inconsistent with the murderer's secretive style.

So she answered truthfully:

"I went to the Deathday party, and you know I get on well with the ghosts."

But the few seconds she paused made her look even more suspicious. Filch screamed:

"You're lying! Nonsense! Except for you, all the students were present. No one had the chance to do anything—"

"Allow me to say something." Snape said coldly from the shadows, "Although the door of the Great Hall is closed, perhaps some students have sneaked out of the Great Hall?"

Filch became even angrier, his face turning purple:

"I'm just standing outside and there's no one! No one's coming out!"

"She must be punished—my cat was killed—"

Dumbledore looked at Jian Yu with an inquiring look.

"Unless there is evidence, then there is innocence, Filch."

He squatted down and looked closely at the petrified cat, running his fingers over its fur.

"It's not dead, it's just petrified. Mandrakes can restore it. Just be patient and wait for them to grow."

Filch finally quieted down, and everyone was silent for a moment.

"You can go now, Miss Jane." Dumbledore said to Jane.

No one noticed that there was a student squatting in the corner, with the camera lens flashing slightly.

......

Photos of Jian Yu and several professors standing in front of blood-red words were scattered everywhere.

Almost every student held a copy of the book and discussed the incident of Mrs. Norris being petrified.

All the copies of "Hogwarts: A History" in the library have been borrowed, and students are trying to find out the rumors about the Chamber of Secrets from them, and they want to know who the heir is.

Because of that photo, Jian Yu naturally became the first suspect.

All kinds of rumors about her spread like wildfire.

"If you ask me, the professors must have discovered something, which is why they left Jian Yu alone—"

"The version I heard was that Jian Yu petrified the cat and was caught red-handed by the professors."

In the Gryffindor common room, all kinds of rumors were flying.

Harry, Ron and Hermione also heard the rumors and were very angry. Hermione even had a big fight with her roommates.

"Impossible. How could Jian Yu, such a kind person, go and hurt a cat?"

"We have to help her - how can professors be so arbitrary?"

Hermione's mind was working at high speed as she entered the History of Magic classroom. She began to ask Professor Binns about the story of the Chamber of Secrets.

"...Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets, and only his heir could open it and release the horrors within, allowing it to purge the school of all those unworthy of learning magic..."

Professor Binns was very annoyed. He thought these legends were meaningless.

"Let's stop talking about this instead of believing the facts and hearing the rumors!"

But there was a cry of surprise from students in the audience:

"Then Jianyu is the heir! She's from Slytherin!"

"She was the one who released the monster, killed Mrs. Norris, and tried to kill the Muggle-born students!"

Hearing Jian Yu's name, Professor Binns angrily stopped organizing his notes and said sternly:

"Ridiculous! This is complete nonsense! Slytherin has no Eastern blood, and the Chamber of Secrets does not exist!"

"Two points from Gryffindor, stop slandering Miss Jane!"

What happened in the History of Magic class spread throughout the school, making everyone more suspicious of Jian Yu.

"More than a thousand years have passed. Who knows if Slytherin's descendants will go to the East?"

"She wants that monster to kill us students from Muggle families!"

The little wizards couldn't help but tremble when they thought of Jian Yu's amazing spells and achievements last year.

When students from the other three colleges met Jane Yu in the corridor, some pure-blood students would bow to her, while some half-blood or Muggle-born students would turn around and run away as if they had seen a ghost.

But Slytherin is even more turbulent.

The pure-blooded little snakes changed their cold attitude since the start of the school year and extended an olive branch again.

Jian Yu had no doubt that their parents were behind this.

Because even Pansy and Millicent, who hated her deeply, had to send gifts with gloomy faces.

Instead, some of the more enthusiastic mixed-race students showed fear towards her, but due to her pressure and their own safety, they still greeted her and communicated with her stutteringly.

As Jian Yu's roommate, Daphne took advantage of her proximity to the place and carefully inquired about what Jian Yu wanted to do next and whether he needed help.

He also said that he 100% supports all her actions.

She was so proud of herself at the moment that she could hold her head high when she met Pansy and Millicent.

Greengrass is going to be rich again if his roommate can become the heir!

She was extremely glad that she had decided to change her dormitory.

I am such a genius! she thought.
