Hagrid didn't notice Harry's embarrassment, and he pestered Ron to ask about his brother Charlie.

Charlie is Ron's second older brother, and unlike his eldest brother Bill and third brother Percy, he is an outdoor boy.

He was extremely talented in Quidditch and once captained the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but unfortunately his teammates did not help him, so he only led the team to win the Quidditch Cup once in his second year.

After graduating, Charlie chose to go to Romania to guard the dragon.

That's why Hagrid is so concerned about Charlie.

Harry saw that Hagrid would not be able to ignore him anytime soon, so he glanced at Locke and Hermione, and took a look around Hagrid's room by himself.

Then he saw a piece of paper pressed under the teapot cover.

It was cut from the Daily Prophet for a follow-up report on the theft of Gringotts on 31 July.

"Hagrid, the day Gringotts was stolen was my birthday. Probably we were there back then!" Harry couldn't help but interrupt Hagrid.

Hagrid froze for a moment, then turned his face awkwardly, clearly not wanting to answer Harry's words.

And Locke, who was in a daze, suddenly heard the word "birthday" and couldn't help but whisper to Hermione, "Hermione, when is your birthday?".

"Why do you ask this?" Hermione's face flushed.

"I know my friend's birthday so I can give you a gift. Locke said sincerely.

"Well, my birthday is September 19th...... Almost there. Hermione subconsciously straightened her hair.

"I'll remember. Locke nodded, and simply took out his notebook and jit it down on the "Memo" page.

And then he realized something again:

If Hermione had been born on September 19th, she would have been under 11 years old and would have come to Hogwarts the following year.

"You were born in 1979?" Locke asked subconsciously.

"yes, what's wrong?".

"It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect you to be the biggest one among us. Locke was a bit surprised.

"And what about you, Locke, your birthday?".

"I don't know. However, our orphanage celebrates the day I was picked up, so my birthday is August 16th. "

"Oh, I made a note of that too. Obviously, Hermione, a top student, doesn't need to write it down in a notebook to remember someone's birthday.

By the way, the pen that Locke used to take notes was an ordinary fountain pen.

The school has a private shop for students who sell things to the junior wizards who can't leave the school at will.

And a Ravenclaw Muggle-born senior sister even brought some Muggle goods to the school to sell.

Some people buy these things, and some people don't.

After all, most young wizards are quite disgusted with Muggle things.

But Locke was not disgusted, and bought a lot of things with the remaining pounds in the pocket of the original owner's clothes, and the pen was one of them.

This thing is definitely much more convenient than a quill pen.

He even wanted to buy one for Hermione, but after thinking about it, he forgot about it.

For birthdays, let's give a set of bookmarks.

The pen was something Hermione could have written home and the owl could have sent it if she needed it.

Bookmarks are more like birthday gifts, and it's a big deal to choose a cute set.

Locke and Hermione are talking about something inconsequential, while Harry's side is already in the main storyline.

Unfortunately, no matter how much Harry asked, Hagrid was reluctant to reveal anything.

Until the four of them left Hagrid's cabin, it was still the same.

"Locke, what do you think, do you think the contents of the underground vault of 713 are the things that the dark wizard wanted to steal?

"I think...... You have a point, Harry. Locke nodded.

"Locke, how can you think ...... because of this clue," Hermione dissatisfied.

Obviously, neither she nor Ron thought it was that coincidental.

"So, Harry. Did you and Hagrid meet any strange people around Gringotts that day?" Locke continued.

"Strange people...... I don't know, but that day I entered the wizarding world for the first time, and many wizards I didn't know shook my hand. Why are you asking this, Locke?".

"If you think what Dumbledore asked Hagrid to take from Gringotts, it has something to do with what the Dark Wizard is trying to steal. It's likely that the Dark Wizard has been secretly following you and Hagrid until you enter Gringotts, and then choose to steal.

The first possibility is that the Dark Wizard may have known that it was with Dumbledore, and thought that Dumbledore had asked Hagrid to keep it in the vault.

So he pretended to meet you by chance, approached you, and cast a spell on you or Hagrid, so that he could later determine which vault you had entered.

As soon as you leave Gringotts, he sneaks into the vault and steals it.

But he didn't expect that you were going to pick up things, not to store things.

So he was busy in vain, and in a fit of rage he set a fire before fleeing.

The second possibility is that the Dark Wizard knew that Hagrid was going to help Dumbledore get something, but was not sure if it was something he was stealing.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you determine which one Dumbledore's vault is, that's all that matters.

So the Dark Wizard pretended to meet you by chance, approached you, and cast a spell on you or Hagrid, so that he could later determine which vault you had entered.

When you leave, he sneaks into the vault and either finds it empty, or finds that what he wants has been taken, and in short, he angrily sets it on fire.

The third possibility was that he was sure that Hagrid was taking the item he wanted, but he didn't know exactly which vault it was.

So I followed you all the time, planning to stop you in Gringotts and snatch the thing when you went in and finished picking it up!

But because you were moving too fast, and he was stumbling up on a trap at Gringotts, a Gringotts guard, etc., you just missed it.

All three of the above may have one thing in common, which is that the dark wizard has been following you and Hagrid. That's why I asked you if you had ever seen strange people in the first place.

In addition, in May 1 and May 2, the wizard must be close to you in order to cast spells and manipulate you and Hagrid.

So, Harry, if you think about it, don't you really see any strange people?".

Locke's words directly made the other three little wizards, including Harry, dizzy.

Although they all felt that Locke's words were clear and reasonable.

But for a while, it was completely unreasonable, even Hermione.

Harry was stunned for a moment, but then shook his head, "Unfortunately, Locke, I really don't remember. There were so many strange wizards shaking hands with me, and maybe one of them was the dark wizard. "

Harry was a little frustrated.

I felt that I had clearly glimpsed a glimmer of light before, but after Locke analyzed it, he broke into a fog again.

Hermione also reacted a little at this time, and also spoke: "But Locke, isn't this just your speculation?"

"And, on the premise that Harry's guess is correct. Ron added.

"I know. Originally, it was just speculation, or rather, speculation based on Harry's speculation, a complex but complete reasoning. But if we can prove each of these links and rule out the possibility of error, we can indeed find the truth. However, this has nothing to do with our first-year little wizard, it should be the work of Headmaster Dumbledore.

If Harry, you really care about this, then based on the two of us, what do you think the Dark Wizard will do next if he doesn't get what he wants?"

"How, can he still come to Hogwarts to steal it? There's Dumbledore here!" Ron shook his head.

"What if he really wants to come here and steal?".

"It can't be, my mother told me, Hogwarts is the safest place in the world!" Ron swore in his heart.

"What if he was a member of Hogwarts in the first place? It would also explain better why he knew what Dumbledore asked Hagrid to do, why did he know when Hagrid was leaving and where he was going, because he had been at Hogwarts all along!".

"Locke, are you suspicious of the professors. Hermione's mouth widened.
