Irina saw Cooper holding a silver siko in its paws and trying to stash it into the small pocket in front of its stomach.
Irina lifted the small treasure with one hand and gazed at it with a pair of beautiful eyes.
Upon realizing it had been caught, Cooper quickly offered it to Irina with both paws, showing a flattering look.
"The nature of the Niffler is like this. Why not give it this instead?"
Lynn said with a smile, handing Irina a transparent golden bead.
"Glass beads?!"
Irina suddenly realized that Nifflers naturally liked shiny and beautiful things, and since the glass beads were similar to crystals, they were perfect to trick Cooper.
Irina happily took the glass bead, then shook it in front of Cooper and said, "Cooper, from now on, I'll give you one of these treasures every day, but the condition is that you can't steal other people's things without permission!"
The moment Cooper saw the glass bead, its eyes lit up. It dropped the silver siko in its paw and stretched its paws to try to reach the golden bead in Irina's hand.
Irina handed the glass bead to Cooper, who quickly tucked it into its pocket and bowed flattered to Irina.
After packing away Cooper, Irina managed to calm the young Niffler and tucked them into her pocket.
Now that Irina had learned the Protego spell, there was no need for them to stay in the Shrieking Shack. The two followed the secret passage they came through, returned to the Whomping Willow, and then left through the Disguise Body Curse range of the Willow.
It was already noon. After Lynn and Irina returned to the dorm and left their belongings, they hurried to the auditorium to have lunch.
After lunch, Lynn returned to the Slytherin dorm to come up with a plan to make alchemical vials, while Irina went to the Gryffindor common room to meet Hermione and the others.
"How's it going? Was the date successful?"
Hermione joked, her eyes giving Irina an ambiguous look.
"What?! A date?! Who is Irina going out with?!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other in disbelief.
Irina glared at Hermione and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, it seems I have some leads on who petrified Mrs. Norris last night!"
Irina's words grabbed the attention of the three of them, and they held their breath, waiting for her next words.
Irina then secretly revealed the Chamber of Secrets of Slytherin to the three of them.
"The Chamber of Secrets of Slytherin was opened. The monster in the secret room was released by the heir of Slytherin and attacked Mrs. Norris. The blood-written message on the wall must have been written by the heir of Slytherin!"
Irina said seriously.
After hearing about the secret room, the three were a little shocked.
After calming down, they began to analyze the identity of the heir of Slytherin.
"So, who is it?" Hermione bit her pen, feeling a bit uneasy. "Who wants to expel Muggle-borns from Hogwarts?"
"Let's think about it," Ron feigned confusion. "As far as we know, who thinks Muggle-borns are trash? Also, who mocked all the Muggle-borns in the scene? Where's the little wizard? Who was identified as the perpetrator at the scene?"
Irina laughed: "Ron, you could just hand Malfoy his ID card!"
"What's an ID card? Regardless of that, it has to be Malfoy! Don't forget what he said: 'You'll be next, Mudblood!'..." Ron said angrily.
Hermione said suspiciously: "Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin? How can someone be so stupid as to identify themselves right after doing something bad?!"
Harry closed the Quidditch book in his hand. He agreed with Ron's viewpoint: "Maybe Malfoy is just a fool! Look at his family. His whole family is in Slytherin. He often mentions it. People assume that they're probably descendants of Slytherin, and his father is pretty evil!"
At that moment, Irina interrupted, "Wait a moment, if I remember correctly, I've seen in an ancient book that the Gaunt family among the twenty-eight sacred families is from Slytherin! They are descendants of Slytherin!"
Ron said: "Maybe they got married?! In any case, Malfoy is the most likely heir of Slytherin!"
Seeing that Malfoy could no longer escape the suspicion, Irina shook her head and didn't continue to persuade them.
"Maybe there's a way," Hermione shook her head. "Of course, it's not easy to do. You'd have to break at least fifty school rules. That's using the Polyjuice Potion to disguise yourself as a Slytherin student and sneak into the Slytherin common room, ask Malfoy some questions, and he'll definitely tell us everything. He's probably still bragging in the Slytherin common room!"
"What's the Polyjuice Potion?" Harry and Ron asked in unison.
Hermione explained: "The Polyjuice Potion is a potion that turns you into someone else. Snape once said that this kind of potion is recorded in the book 'Powerful Potions,' but it should be in the restricted area."
Saying this, Hermione couldn't help but feel a bit upset.
You see, if you want to borrow a book from the restricted section of the library, you need an approval note signed by a professor.
Hermione told them about the restricted area of books, and Harry and Ron felt helpless. After all, they had no reason to ask to borrow the book.
"Maybe I can get a note approved by the professor."
Irina suddenly said.
Although she hadn't brought Lockhart's book to the first class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, she had cleverly set up Lockhart on paper and even froze him into an ice sculpture. The narcissistic Lockhart still thought Irina was him. Not only did he not blame her, but he also gave her a set of his books.
Therefore, Irina could have asked Lockhart to sign a blank piece of paper, pretending it was for an autograph, and then add the book request to the paper with Lockhart's signature and obtain the signed note to borrow the book.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione trusted Irina a lot. They directly agreed with Irina without questioning too much.
After deciding on the course of action, Irina returned to her dorm alone. She took out the two-way mirror that Lynn had given her and infused it with magic power.
Soon, Lynn's face appeared in the mirror.
Irina briefly told Lynn about the conversation with Harry and then said, "I plan to get some signatures from Lockhart. I wonder if you need them. I heard the fight with Lockhart was pretty tense, so I probably won't be able to fool him into getting a signature like I did."
Upon hearing Irina's words, Lynn was stunned for a moment and then was left speechless.
Good grief, this Lockhart is just a big fool in front of you!
