Chapter 22: The Chamber of Secrets
When the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is also a good opportunity to do bad things, Dumbledore and Bruce took advantage of the moonlight to sneak to the abandoned women's bathroom, as for why they came secretly,,,, cough cough,,, well, well, that, in fact, the two mainly don't want others to know that this is the entrance to the secret room, let alone let people know that there is a basilisk in the secret room, in order to avoid causing panic among the public, yes, they are afraid of causing panic among the masses, and it is definitely not because they are afraid of being seen by others entering the women's bathroom so that they sneak in.
"Bruce, are you sure it's here? If not, I'm going to beat you up, and if I find out, my reputation will be ruined, and tomorrow's Daily Prophet will definitely see the headline, "Is there a reason why the Headmaster of Hogwarts House led his disciples into the women's bathroom in the middle of the night or has an unknown quirk", those dark wizards laughed to death for both of us. "Dumbledore is still a little uneasy, this place is so sensitive that people will think that they have some quirks when they find out, and they don't have the face to stay at Hogwarts.
"Oh, teacher, don't worry, I'm sure the entrance to the secret room is here. Bruce was getting impatient, and Dumbledore had asked several times. Bruce ignored Dumbledore and went straight to the faucet with the snake carved into it.
"yes, then I'm relieved. Dumbledore exhaled deeply, as if relaxed, and just stood there, watching Bruce look around.
"Lord Dean, are you here to see me, I'm so glad that no one has come to see me for a long time. A high-pitched, crazed female voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
Dumbledore was directly frightened, and quickly took out his wand, now Dumbledore has only one thought in his mind, extinguish the mouth, extinguish the mouth, must extinguish the mouth, and must not let anyone know that he has entered the women's bathroom, and even directly forget that he will forget the spell.
But Dumbledore turned around and found that the voice was coming from the mouth of a ghost, and he knew the girl, the girl who was killed by the Unforgivable Curse (actually a basilisk) recorded in the history of the school.
When Dumbledore saw a mad ghost on the other side, he relieved himself and withdrew his wand, "Your name is ...... It's called Myrtle, right, we're ,,,, we're actually here to look for something, so I'm here to see you. ”
When Myrtle heard this, she exclaimed, "Ah!!, Lord Dean, you are so kind to me, thank you so much for coming to see me." Woowoowoo......"
"Shhh As soon as Bruce heard where Myrtle was yelling, he took out his wand and sealed her mouth.
It wasn't until Myrtle nodded that Bruce let go of her, and Dumbledore was relieved to see Myrtle quiet, so he asked, "Myrtle, do you remember what happened when you died?"
Myrtle thought about it, and suddenly became a little sluggish, as if she had returned to the time of death again. I saw the myrtle slowly speak, "Ou...... That's really scary, a qiē happens here, right inside this toilet. Because Oliver Humbe laughed at the ugliness of my glasses. I was hiding here, and I was crying, when I heard someone walk in. ”
"Who's that, Riddle?" Dumbledore interrupted Myrtle, asking directly.
"I don't know, I was upset, but they said something strange, it seemed to be some language, but I immediately heard it was a boy's voice, so I opened the door to remind him that it was the women's bathroom, and was going to tell him to go away, and then I died. ”
"Is that it? You only have these memories, do you remember what you were killed by?" "How could you forget!! of course I remember, I remember that I saw a pair of big yellow eyes in that sink, and then I died. Woo woo woo ”
After the myrtle finished speaking, she changed back to her crazy appearance, and then she slowly flew away, and the cry gradually faded away.
Dumbledore looked at the Myrtle who was walking away, and felt very uncomfortable, and he was a victim of Voldemort, at this time, Dumbledore had completely believed Bruce's words, and it was indeed the basilisk that killed Myrtle at that time, not some unforgivable spell, that is to say, Voldemort got the inheritance of Slytherin in the fifth year and began to practice black witchcraft.
Bruce thoughtfully began to stroke the wall above the sink, tried to twist the faucet of the sink that Myrtle pointed to, and found that there was no water flowing out, and then felt a snake relief on the side of the faucet, Bruce, who knew the original book, clearly knew that this was the entrance to the chamber, so he said to Dumbledore, "Teacher, it seems that we have found the entrance to the chamber, and this faucet has Slytherin logos." ”
"Well, that's it, do you know how to open it? Dumbledore touched it and gave it an affirmation
"I don't know, but teacher, if you try to turn on the spell and it doesn't work, you'll know. Bruce shook his head, obviously not wanting to contribute, and his face showed that I couldn't do it.
Dumbledore shook his head, this apprentice of his own is lazy, he will never contribute if he can, so he has to do it himself, Dumbledore danced his wand, recited a few incantations, and when he saw that the sink was unresponsive, he turned back to Bruce and said, "My method doesn't work, you're trying snake language." ”
"I won't. Bruce didn't hesitate to refuse.
"Then you're not going to turn into a snake. Dumbledore saw that Bruce was so happy to refuse, and shouted directly.
"Oh, why didn't I think of it, teacher, you are so smart, Animagus, hehe. Bruce looked like a hippie smile and quickly recited the transformation charm.
"Hiss" "Hiss" "Hiss" "Hiss" Bruce spat out the core and uttered the language of 'open'.
"Boom" "Boom" The sink of the washroom began to shake, and then after a series of movements, the sink engraved with the serpentine logo was put into the ground, and the entrance to the secret room finally appeared.
Looking at the entrance that appeared, Dumbledore cast a light body charm on himself, and jumped straight down, but Bruce did not change back into human form, but kept Animagus, he clearly remembered that there was a door below that was going to use snake language, and twisted his body to get into the entrance. As the two entered, the washbasin returned to its original state, and the washroom returned to its original state.
The first thing the two people who came to the secret room saw was a large number of bones, the bones of various animals, presumably this is the remains left behind after the basilisk went out to hunt, the basilisk is a magical creature, must have food to obtain a long time, the first basilisk even lived for 900 years before dying, and this Basilisk created by Salazar Slytherin, one of the four giants of Hogwarts, even exceeded the life of the first basilisk.
In 1002 A.D., there were creatures of zài, and I have to sigh that Salazar Slytherin was truly one of the greatest wizards of all, and his power can be seen in the basilisk he left behind.
