164 The Second Attack
The reason why Hugo took this opportunity to tell Hermione about this is very simple. After possessing the power of the ship girl in his hand, he began to slowly form a detailed plan for his future through thinking and discussions with the ship girl under his command during this period.
Therefore, he felt that he should subtly influence his sister from now on, in order to make her stand on her side in the days to come, or at least stay neutral.
After all, the tragedy of people who are almost closest to each other like Grindelwalds and Dumbledore because of different ideas is really bad, so Hugo doesn't want similar things to happen to him.
Hermione obviously didn't know what the purpose of Hugo's deep words was at this time, but she could naturally leave an impression in her heart from this question and answer, and develop a slight disgust for the pure blood family.
What Hugo has to do later is also very simple, that is, to fully display some things hidden under the prosperity of the magic world to his sister.
That's right, it's just to show the information to Hermione in a real and thorough manner without any changes.
After all, Hugo knew that her sister was actually a smart and willing to think. If she wanted to deceive her, she would be discovered one day.
But if Hugo only asked Hermione to see something heavy hidden under the glory of the magic world before her three views were established, he believed that her sister would make the right choice.
Next, several people returned to the Lavenclaw Tower in silence. Fortunately, during lunch, Hugo discovered that Hermione had returned to her original lively appearance, and the various exercises in the afternoon were the same as before.
But unlike before, when everyone went to the library to study together that night, Hermione picked up some biography or history articles that she had basically not read before and read, and at the same time she used a notebook to remember something from time to time.
Obviously, Hermione realized something from what Hugo said before. And now looking for books is obviously to answer the doubts that arise in her heart.
Hugo naturally likes his sister's approach, and is also curious about what conclusion his sister can finally draw.
Of course, Hermione wanted to figure out the situation in this regard and finally concluded that it would not be possible to solve it in one or two days. So for the next period of time, everything was still going on the original track.
For example, after 12 o'clock in the day, Shengli appeared beside Hugo and told him that his behavior had obtained 4.5 fate points today.
"Why is the only destiny point I got today?" Hugo asked in confusion. "We clearly used a series of professional weapons, and at the same time changed the result of Harry's injury and injured Lockhart, who was not injured."
"Sorry, I don't know why." Shengli shook his head helplessly and said, "After all, I'm just a ship girl who works as a part-time system elf, not an omniscient god. So I can only tell you how much impact the things you did today, but I don't know how this thing was calculated."
"Okay, if that's the case, then forget it." Hugo certainly knew that the ship girls would not lie when they asked this. When they said they didn't know, they really didn't know, so they could only wait until tomorrow.
After all, the school is so big. If there is any accident tonight, you will definitely be able to hear about it tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Colin Clivi was attacked, and the news that he was now lying in the ward like a dead person spread throughout the school.
Suddenly, rumors spread in the school, and everyone was suspicious. The freshmen now always clung together in groups of three or five, as if afraid that if they act alone, they would be attacked.
"The messenger behind the scenes is definitely not Ginny." While having breakfast, Firefly comforted Ginny while talking to Hugo who was asking him through the admiral network.
"I can't say anything else, but I've been listening to the movements in the Gryffindor girls' dormitory last night, so I can assure you that the girls in Gryffindor were staying in their rooms last night and no one went out."
"Why did Ginny cry so much?" Hugo asked in confusion as Ginny, who kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"She is guilty." Firefly said while gently patting Ginny's back.
"She was at the same table with Colin Clivi in the magic class, and this time Colin took the photo, which was Ginny telling him that many girls wanted Lockhart's autographed photos, and one photo could sell a Sike. That's why Colin ran to the school hospital at night."
"Oh, I understand." After the Firefly said this, Hugo understood what happened.
After all, she was born in a family with a low financial wealth, Ginny was naturally more sensitive to such money-related things. Therefore, after discovering this market, she subconsciously shared the news with Colin.
As one of the two sons of a milkman, Colin's family's financial situation is naturally not very good. Not to mention that after entering the world of wizards, his economic pressure was greater than before.
So after hearing about this opportunity to get rich, Colin took advantage of the evening to go to the school hospital and prepare to get a few signature photos from Lockhart.
As a result, no one expected that he would encounter a basilisk at this time. Fortunately, based on the situation on the scene, it can be inferred that Colin, who was holding the camera at that time, immediately raised the camera and wanted to see what happened. So it was just petrified and did not die.
Unlike the last time the cat was petrified, this time it was a person who was petrified. Therefore, everyone couldn't help but get nervous. At least from the time Hugo finished breakfast to the time he left the auditorium, the whole auditorium was quiet and not as lively as usual.
Similarly, this depressing atmosphere was also spreading in the classroom. As a result, Hugo, who was not very nervous in this way, was also a little nervous by the atmosphere.
Therefore, on the way back to the Lavenclaw Tower, Hugo and the others remained silent all the way, not talking and laughing as usual.
"Hey! Hugo, here-" In this silence, Harry's voice suddenly came from the corridor next to him.
Looking up, Hugo found Harry and Ron hiding in the same corridor calling them. It was different from the original story, because Harry was not in the school hospital last night, so his current situation is much better than in the story.
At least most people now believe that the petrochemical incident should have nothing to do with Harry himself. As for the cat last time, Felch's cat was purely because of Harry and the others' unlucky.
So now Harry and the others are in a good mood. Although they are a little nervous, they do not show much anxiety.
"Is there anything you guys asking us for?" Hugo said as he looked at Harry.
