Harry Potter: Transmigrated Detective Link

"Who is it?"

Link's gaze instantly became sharp.

Seeing this, Harry and Ron fearfully took two steps back. Then Harry braced himself and said, "This isn't a place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."

After saying this, Harry nervously glanced toward the Great Hall. Seeing no one coming, he finally let out a breath.

"Follow me."

Harry waved at Link and walked off into the distance. And Link silently followed, activating Occlumency and the Super Sensory Spell at the same time.

He wasn't afraid of Harry playing any tricks on him.

To speak arrogantly, with his current strength, Sectumsempra Level 5, Occlumency Level 3, Super Sensory spell Level 3, Harry or any other student couldn't possibly trap him. Even if that heir brought the basilisk Arkam to ambush him directly, he could still cause a big enough commotion and hold out until Dumbledore arrived.

As they walked, Link still frowned. Because the direction Harry led them in wasn't towards some convenient room for talking, but rather like the way to the infirmary.

"Where are you taking me?"

"The infirmary," Harry gave a definite answer. "This matter is hard to explain to you, so we thought it'd be better to let Hermione explain."

"And what does that have to do with us going to the infirmary?" Link asked, a little confused.

"Because Hermione is in the infirmary..."

Ron answered, but stopped halfway through, looking like he was holding back laughter.

Harry sighed and said, "In order to investigate the identity of the heir, we stole ingredients from Snape to make Polyjuice Potion and infiltrated Slytherin House. Uh, but something went wrong, Hermione mistook a cat hair for Millicent Bulstrode's hair, so..."

"So she turned into a cat-girl?"

"That's right, exactly." Harry said sullenly. "Madam Pomfrey said she still needs a while of treatment before she can return to normal."

Hearing this, Link suddenly understood and nodded. Polyjuice Potion was not unfamiliar to him, as a wizard specialized in spells and potions.

It's a potion that allows the drinker to turn into someone else. It's extremely difficult to make, even for professional potion masters.

And to transform into a specific person, you need a strand of their hair. If you mix it up with another creature's, then the result becomes unpredictable.

Just like Hermione, who directly turned into a cat-girl this time.

But actually, Hermione was quite lucky, because many wizards who made the same mistake as her had either died on the spot or permanently turned into half-human, half-beast monsters.

In silence, the three finally arrived at Hermione's hospital room.

The layout here was different from other rooms. Hermione's bed was separated by a semi-transparent white curtain. From Link and the others' angle, they could only see a blurry figure.

"Hermione, we brought Link to see you." Harry said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the blurry figure that had been half-sitting up on the bed suddenly screamed and pulled the blanket over her head.

"Link!? Why did you bring him here! Don't! Don't look at me, I'm so ugly right now!"

Hermione's muffled voice came from under the blanket. Link, Harry, and Ron stared silently at the tall bump under the blanket.

"Don't worry, Hermione. We don't want to look at you. There's nothing to see! We just want you to explain the matter of the heir to Link!" Harry said impatiently, clearly uninterested in Hermione's current appearance.

Hearing this, Link smacked his lips and seemed like he wanted to say something but stopped.

To be honest, he really did want to take a look. He had watched so many cat-girl anime and cosplays in his previous life, but never seen a real cat-girl.

Right now Link really had an urge to pull aside the curtain and take a look for himself. But thinking of Emily's image, Link finally suppressed this tempting thought.

"Is that so?" At this time, Hermione also poked out a head with two pointed ears from under the blanket and said.

"Yes, that's it exactly." Link echoed Harry's words.

"Alright, but you all must promise absolutely not to peek!" Hermione's voice from behind the curtain was timid. After getting Link's promise, she sat up under the blanket and said, "Actually, there's not much to say, Draco Malfoy is the heir."

Hearing this, Link's expression turned serious as he looked at Hermione's silhouette and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Because he told us himself!" Harry said excitedly. "I swear it's true! This time we used Polyjuice Potion to turn into Goyle and Crabbe, his two lackeys, and asked him. He had no reason to lie to his own lackeys!"

"And besides him, I really can't think of anyone else who could be the heir! Think about it, he hates Muggle-borns the most, always puts the word 'mudblood' on the edge of his mouth, and his whole family are Death Eaters."

At this point, Ron suddenly realized something, paused, and said nervously to Link, "Sorry Link, I didn't mean you, you know that..."

Link waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind. Then he frowned again and said, "This is just your subjective guess. Is there any other evidence?"

To be honest, Link actually liked Draco quite a bit. Aside from his sharp mouth and being a little spoiled by his parents, he wasn't a bad person. At the very least, he showed proper respect to Emily and Link.

But Harry and the others clearly didn't think so. Hearing this, the three exchanged some anxious glances. Finally, Hermione spoke, "Of course there is. Link, you know Lavender Brown, the person who was attacked during Christmas, right?"

"I know. I heard about it on the Hogwarts Express before."

"And Pansy Parkinson?"

Link nodded again, indicating he knew.

Strictly speaking, this girl named Pansy Parkinson could also be considered a childhood companion of Draco and Emily.

She came from the Parkinsons, a somewhat declining pure-blood family.

She and Draco were practically stuck together every day. Any adult with eyes could see that the two liked each other.

Recently, Link had even heard rumors that the Parkinson family was hoping to marry Pansy to Draco to form an alliance with the Malfoy family.

"Lavender is a good friend of mine, so I know her situation well. On Christmas Day, because Lavender accidentally bumped into Pansy in the hallway, a conflict broke out between them. In the end, Lavender gave Pansy a hard slap." Hermione said through gritted teeth, her voice trembling slightly. "And then, that same night, Lavender was attacked. Link, do you think that's just a coincidence?"
