Chapter 114: A Visit to the Chamber of Secrets
Seeing that everyone was surprised, and waiting blankly for Myrtle's next instructions, Myrtle, apparently very happy, tossed in the air and then jumped into the nearest toilet bowl and poked her head out, and then flew to them again and muttered to the bottom of the pool in a strange tone.

The floor of the pool soon slowly parted, shooting a dazzling white light from inside, and then the pool began to spin and disappear, and a very thick water pipe came into view, and the students at the front of the line shouted in amazement, and Colin Creevey, who had been petrified, was also in the crowd, holding a camera and pressing the shutter.
But Harry, Ron, and Hermione were visibly disappointed, "The entrance to this place is the same as last time," Hermione said unhappily, "This water pipe has probably not been used since Myrtle moved in, so we almost choked on the dust the last time we went in, and the snake that was big enough to gamble on the passage I wish I could have changed to a slightly brighter, more spacious entrance, so that I don't have to say "clean up" when I go back." ”
"Jump, yes, that's it, enjoy the ultimate flying pleasure Of course, it is not guaranteed to be very safe, I have nothing else to give you except to accompany you unconditionally in your death" Myrtle kept scaring the students who jumped into the entrance one by one and slipped down.
After waiting for a long time, she finally arrived at VIO, she was already very curious about the secret room, so she couldn't wait to climb up and get into the pipe, and without hesitation at all, she let go and let herself slide down the pipe.
It was pitch black, but it didn't have the sticky feeling that Hermione had mentioned, and perhaps the school had made some unnoticed repairs to the passageway.
After sliding down for a while, it still didn't come to an end, and the slide seemed endless. Vio had to look around, and she found that in addition to this one, there were many pipes around that branched out in all directions, but only this one was the thickest, and at the same time, this pipe was also the most tortuous and steep.
Such a long slide should have sent them to the deepest part of the school, much deeper than the underground classroom. She could even hear the students sliding down behind her, making slight crashes and startles around the bends.
Then, she fell to the ground very suddenly. The last part of the hose becomes straight, like the kind of slide I used to play with in kindergarten as a child.
She stood up and followed the line in front.
The students were all talking about the entrance and finding it exciting, with a few Muggle-born students triumphantly introducing Disneyland and roller coasters in their hometowns.
In front of him was a dark stone tunnel, although there were torches lit at intervals on both walls of the passage, but the torch emitted a blue glow, illuminating the whole tunnel was still dark, psychologically speaking, it was not much different from no light.
"Is this the bottom of the lake?" asked Vio as Hermione turned to see if she was following.
"It should be," Hermione said solemnly, holding back her disgust, and then approached the wall of the tunnel that smelled bad, and pointed to the mud that had not been completely cleaned or seeped back on, and said to her, "Look here, this kind of mud I have seen in a book in the library that it can be completely dried in a short time with the fluorescent flicker of a wand, and it can only be found at the bottom of a lake or pond, and where this green and brown mud usually exists, there are always snakes, water, and mermaids." ”
Vio nodded admiringly, indicating that he would remember.
"Wow!"
"It's really cool!"
"Let me raise my wand for me, I'm going to shine it down"
The students in front of them suddenly boiled, and Vio and Hermione also hurried to catch up with the falling distance and leaned over to look.
In the looming bend, many wands shone brightly on a huge snakeskin in front of them, green and bright.
The snakeskin coiled around the floor of the tunnel, which was empty, looking like the transparent shells that cicadas would leave behind at the beginning of summer. It is covered with a glass enclosure on the outside, and a description is written on the inside.
This also informs from the side that the basilisk they are going to see in the museum, at least ten feet long.
After a while, some of the timid students returned to the same path back to the chute, where they could only go down and could not go up, Professor Flitwick designed a magic lift, and the ghosts played a huge role, only when they confirmed that the people who used the lift were not people with ulterior motives, but just students who came to visit, they stood in the lift, activated the magic circle, and then the elevator sent the students out of the ground and returned safely.
Most of the students were still in high spirits as they walked around and turned one bend after another, until at last a sturdy wall appeared in front of them, carved with two intertwined snakes, with very large and precious emeralds in their eyes.
Harry was just wondering if Myrtle wasn't there, no one was imitating Parseltongue to open the door, and if he wanted to try it, the emerald eyes seemed to flicker.
Then, the two snakes parted, and the stone wall cracked in the middle, slowly sliding to both sides and disappearing.
From this moment on, the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets really appeared in front of everyone.
Vio found them standing on the side of a long, dimly lit room.
The main hall of the chamber has no long partitions to divide the space, except for a number of stone pillars carved with coiled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that melts into the darkness.
The serpents on the stone pillars were lifelike, and some of them were still half levitating, casting long and eerie black shadows into the mysterious room filled with green.
The crowd didn't know when the chatter stopped, everyone watched vigilantly, as if the stone snakes around them would come to life, and every step they took produced a hollow, loud echo between the four walls of the ghostly buildings, which made them feel even more terrifying.
As he walked to the last pair of stone pillars, Vio saw a statue almost as tall as the room itself, clinging to the dark wall behind it.
She craned her neck to see the statue's face.
It was a very handsome, angular face, a pair of wise and deep eyes, and lips that seemed to be smiling, as if facing something mocking. The hem of the wizard's robe was wrinkled and clear, as if it could be fluttered immediately when the wind blew.
"Salecas Slytherin!" Vio excitedly said to Hermione, "It's so beautiful! I didn't expect our academy founder to be so handsome when he was young!"
Hermione seemed to be scribbled by her, "Are you being ironic? But it's an old man's statue, but it's very realistically carved: the face is wrinkled, shriveled like a monkey, and the long beard is not like Professor Dumbledore's neat beard, and the feet are gray. )
