Neville, whose girlfriend is Hannah from Hufflepuff, picked up on Ron's line of thought, "Then why not use it on smoked fish? It'd be more convenient to serve with congee that way."

Meanwhile, in the Pensieve.

In the Hospital Wing, Malfoy was groaning in pain, his legs spread wide.

There were only a few scattered people around him: Crabbe and Goyle, and a few Quidditch players.

"Mr. Malfoy, stop pretending, you can go now," said Madam Pomfrey was passing by in a hurry.

"Are you faking it?" Ron looked at Draco with surprise. His attention was completely on Harry, and he hadn't heard a word of it.

On the other side of the hospital bed, Harry was almost surrounded by students.

Madam Pomfrey fed him Skele-gro, Harry immediately spat out.

(Linfred, the Potter family ancestor, nicknamed "The Potterer": "So this is Skele-gro, isn't it? I never imagined my recipe could be simplified to this extent. Just a small bite is enough to make the bones in your body regrow and repair themselves.")

(Hardwin: "Dad, you should be concerned about Harry. He's your son—my descendant!")

(Linfred: "Oh, Harry, he took one sip and spat it out. It seems the taste of this Potions still hasn't improved.")

(Harry, still in the Rune Card World, smiled as he watched his ancestor make jokes, but he still couldn't help but shiver; he still remembered the constant pain from the knife cuts coming from that limp arm.)

Late at night, Harry was awakened by that sound again.

But after putting on the glasses, I saw Dobby.

Then I learned that Dobby for the things on the platform wall and the Bludger.

Harry had a momentary urge to strangle Dobby, but he held back and started trying to get information out of him.

From Dobby's incoherent words, we learn about the status of House-elf and the conditions under which House-elf be freed.

("Pests?" Hermione was exasperated. "They're enjoying the fruits of slavery, yet they treat them like pests!")

Dobby warned again that Hogwarts was dangerous and that Harry should leave, or history would repeat itself.

Harry realized that these things had happened, and he pressed Dobby.

Dobby then the Snap and disappeared.

("How can a mere House-elf enter Hogwarts so easily and even Apparition?!")

("Is this one of the safest places in Britain?")

("Hogwarts doesn't allow Apparition, does it?")

("Was it Dumbledore? He was manipulating things behind the scenes, granting Harry access through Dobby to find out something.")

(".")

(Numerous viewers raised questions about this.)

At the same time, hurried footsteps approached, and Harry quickly lay down.

He heard that yet another victim had appeared, the one who liked to take pictures of him, Colin.

Rupert noticed the comments in the live stream that Draco was projecting.

"That's right, that's how it's set up in the novels. Most wizards never realized that House-elf possessed magic they didn't have."

Even Voldemort made this mistake.

"His cave where Horcrux are hidden, and even House-elf can Apparition."

"Regulus Black learned the secret of Voldemort's immortality from Kreacher, who had escaped, and it was through Kreacher that he took the Horcrux."

"Unfortunately, even Regulus Black underestimated Kreacher, whose magic was only that of House-elf. Kreacher could have easily taken the Horcrux, removed it, and then returned to take him away."

Dumbledore nodded. "In fact, even the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic can Apparition House-elf. They are the greatest trump card that Pure-blood Wizard families leave to their descendants. It's just that the servility of House-elf makes modern wizards unaware of how powerful they are."

(Griphook: "Gringotts is the safest and most reliable place in the Wizarding World.")

Dumbledore glanced at the live stream projection above Draco's head. "Gringotts is no good because House-elf were enslaved by defeated Goblin through vicious curses. They naturally know how to deal with the magic of their own kind."

"There's really no need to worry about the Goblin invasion. Hogwarts has plenty Ministry of Magic magical protection facilities against Goblin. The reason House-elf can do this is because they were mutated into another kind of creature due to a curse."

("What about the House-elf? What if they all become Dobby— ")

"House-elf are not allowed to harm wizards, whether directly or indirectly. Dobby is an exception. It was the Malfoy family's torment of him that exceeded the limits of what a normal creature could endure."

"Normal wizarding families, even dark wizarding families, even if they look down on House-elf, would not frequently abuse the members who do most of the work in their household."

(Sirius: "That's true. We have a family tradition like that. It's disgusting, but we really treat them as part of the family. For House-elf who are too old to even lift a tea tray, we cut off their heads, make them into specimens, and hang them on the wall by the door as decoration.")

("Even after numerous renovations to the Black Family Home, my crazy ancestors never even considered altering the layout of that wall or removing it.")

"Alright, everyone, let's refocus our attention on the movie," Dumbledore, somewhat exasperated.

While everyone was thinking about how normal wizards and dark wizard families treated House-elf, Sirius brought up the topic of beheading. He truly lived up to his reputation as Black.

The Black family are all a bit neurotic.

No normal person would do something like this: their friend died leaving behind a child, and they're so focused on going to jail that they completely forget about the child.

The scene has now shifted to the Duelling Club.

Lockhart wore a light and elegant dueling outfit: a gray fitted vest, a white shirt underneath, and a dark-colored Cloak on his side. His every move was professional and impressive, as if he were a true Duel Master.

But the moment he opened his mouth, he gave himself away.

His words were interspersed with advertisements for the books he wrote.

Finally, he didn't forget to toss the Cloak into the group of older girls, which drew cheers.

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape."

"He agreed to help me give a small demonstration."

"Don't worry, everyone. After the demonstration, I will return your Potions teacher to you safely."

"Don't worry."

Ron scoffed, "I was really intimidated by him back then."

"Expelliarmus!" Snape's clean and decisive strike caught Lockhart completely off guard, sending him flying far away and landing on the dueling platform.

"I think this change is great," Rupert said. "The novel Snape is about Neville, who says that even the simplest spells can cause destruction, and in the end we can only put Finch-Fletchley's remains in a matchbox and send it to the hospital ward."

"This applies perfectly to Ron, whose wand is malfunctioning."

"Actually, there are always people in the novel that Snape dislikes, besides Harry, Neville. This can be considered foreshadowing."

"After the Prophecy was revealed, readers realized that Snape was complaining about why Voldemort didn't target Neville's family."

"He thinks about this every time he sees Neville."

(Sirius had just finished spitting out the Snivellus when he stopped thinking about it. In fact, he had the same thought flashed through his mind the Setsuna he heard Rupert's words.)

(James was the most important person to him, far more important than Frank, Alice, and their children.)

"Of course, the Snape in the movie is a barely qualified professor, who is quite good in some aspects. When faced with danger, his first thought is to protect his students behind him."

"He wasn't targeting Neville either."

(Sirius deleted 'Snivellus' while cursing.)

In the scene, Harry's duel with Draco reveals that he is Parseltongue.

Most students began to suspect that he was the Heir of Slytherin and the mastermind behind releasing the Chamber of Secrets monster.

Even Justin Finch-Fletchley of Hufflepuff, a friend he had just met, began to have doubts about Harry.

He overheard his conversation with Hannah and walked out of the library dejectedly, where he ran into Hagrid.

I learned from him that another rooster in the chicken coop had died; it was the second one this semester.

Hagrid guessed it was either the dead fox or a vampire.

He planned to take the evidence to Dumbledore and ask if he could cast a spell around the chicken coop.

(Dumbledore was momentarily charmed by Hagrid's cuteness, and his act of repairing Hagrid's wand was, in effect, allowing him to secretly use magic.)

(But Hagrid always asked him for permission to cast spells.)

(Of course, Dursley was genuinely angered by Hagrid's actions that time, as Dursley had insulted him in front of Hagrid.)

(However, that's not really true. He gave Hagrid permission to use magic by sending him to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone.)

Harry heard that voice again after he and Hagrid separated.

Hearing the voice say it was going to kill someone, Harry boldly followed the direction of the voice again.

Justin, and Nearly Headless Nick, were petrified.

Filch happened to see Harry doing this and thought he had caught Harry red-handed.

Harry tried to explain, and then noticed a line of spiders orderly leaving the castle on the ground.

Rupert said somewhat critically, "Actually, Harry didn't leave the library without saying a word in the novel. On the contrary, he deliberately startled the Hufflepuff who were talking badly about him behind his back. They said he wanted to find Justin to explain, and he did it to stop the snakes from attacking Justin. By the way, Justin wasn't among those who were talking badly about him."

"It was Peeves who discovered Harry."

"That's what makes it more dramatic. It's as if Harry really is a bad guy. He says he's going to find Justin, and then he gets into trouble soon after."

"Oh right, I just realized—" Ron said in surprise, "Peeves hasn't appeared at all."

Rupert sighed, "Because the producers thought Peeves wasn't important, they actually invited someone to play Peeves, and it was a comedy master like Rick Mayol. When he was there, the set was always full of laughter. We were all kids back then, which slowed down the filming process. Plus, the movie had limited length, so the character was cut."

"Actually, it was all filmed, but it was cut in the end."

"It is indeed a pity." Ron nodded.

It's like Gryffindor without his two older brothers.

The movie in the Pensieve had already progressed to Harry entering the Headmaster's Office.

Seeing that no one was around, he mustered his courage and approached the Sorting Hat, asking it if it had sorted him into the wrong house.

The Sorting Hat insists that Harry would excel in Slytherin.

But this only strengthened Harry's resolve, and he told the Sorting Hat, "You're wrong."

He smiled and walked toward Fawkes.

As he approached Fawkes, a ball of flame suddenly burst forth from Fawkes's body.

(Dumbledore sighed, "This was already Harry's worst day. He was brought to my office as a suspect, and just as he was calming down, he saw Fawkes on fire in front of him.")

Harry was startled.

Dumbledore suddenly appeared.

I told him it was a phoenix, a phoenix that would Rebirth from Fire when it grew old.

Dumbledore was only halfway through his sentence when Hagrid burst into the office.

They said Harry was definitely not the criminal, and that he could swear on the Ministry of Magic.

(Harry wiped away his tears, and noticing Hagrid still carrying the dead chicken, he laughed and said, "Forget about the Ministry of Magic; Fudge's Ministry of Magic is completely unreliable.")

Dumbledore said he firmly believed Harry was not the culprit, Hagrid left with peace of mind.

Ron looked at the white-bearded old man in the Pensieve and said, "This Dumbledore so gentle and kind. Our Dumbledore like a powder keg that will explode at the slightest touch."

(Grindelwald: "No, I like Albus just the way he is.")

Dumbledore glanced at this sentence

Although he knew this wasn't his Gellert, he still couldn't help but blush.

Hogwarts in the Pensieve was enveloped in wind and snow.

Harry changed into his winter clothes and leaned on the armrest, High God dejected.

Fred and George popped up. "Look, everyone, this is the Heir of Slytherin." "Be careful, he's a very evil wizard."

(Mrs. Weasley, "You two—")

In the picture, Harry looks even more downcast.

He even began to believe that he might be a criminal, just as he didn't know he was Parseltongue at first, and that he might have unknowingly done those terrible things without his knowledge.

(Ginny felt that Harry was talking about her.)

Rupert said, "Actually, Harry never doubted himself in the novel. He was actually somewhat grateful and comforted by Fred and George's jokes, since they at least thought his idea of being the Heir of Slytherin was ridiculous."

(Fred: "Yes, that's what we're after, Mom.")

(George: "Don't send us Howler, Mom.")

"That's strange, are we all deaf?" Draco looked at the three of them speechlessly as they started plotting loudly again.

He said it was fortunate he wasn't going back for Christmas, as the Polyjuice Potion needed to be prepared again.

"You three must have used magic, right? A sound-silencing spell?"

Draco stared intently at Ron.

Ron turned his head and touched his nose. "No."

(Hermione and Harry were also incredibly embarrassed at this moment, and began to wonder why no one had ever noticed their loud secret plots.)

He changed the subject, pointing to the Pensieve, where a bottle of medicine containing hair was proudly held up. "You know what? That's not Millicent Pritchard's hair, it's her cat's."

(Hermione: You fucking bastard!)

(She quickly glanced at Basil.)

(Basil likes her when she transforms into a catgirl, but this is a real catgirl, the kind with a cat's face.)
