Chapter 101: The Door of the Chamber of Secrets
Eventually, Harry finally admitted that he was a parseltongue, and with a strange hissing sound, the sink split in the middle, splitting into several pieces along the surface of the sink, and then scattered in all directions, revealing a pitch-black pipe in the middle.

When the legendary entrance to the Slytherin Chamber was revealed, Harry fell silent, perhaps only then did they begin to wonder what this entrance meant.
After a few moments, Percy stepped forward, "Alright, it's not easy to finally find this entrance, thank you very much, Harry, I hope you stay here with Ron and Darren so that when Hermione brings Professor McGonagall here, someone will be able to lead the way." ”
"No, I'm going down!" Harry said unsurprisingly, "only I know snake language, since this entrance requires snake language to open, and maybe there are other mechanisms down there, without me, you won't be able to move forward if you encounter the same obstacle again, so I have to go down." ”
Ron stepped forward firmly and stood beside Harry, "You're not just Ginny's brother, Percy, I'm too. Percy didn't speak, and patted Ron the shoulder.
Suddenly, Darren found that he seemed to be the best person to stay, even an hour ago, he would have been very happy, but now, since they were all here, wouldn't it be "boring" not to go down and take a look? Moreover, he was always worried about Lockhart, and I was afraid that no one but him would know the "true face" of this guy.
"Oh, it's always right to have more people, anyway, the hole is already open, and we leave a mark on the wall and tell people we can go down, right?"
"Very well, gentlemen, you have behaved bravely, but as a professor, I'm afraid I can't let you take risks," at this time, Lockhart suddenly said, "So, I think the first person to go down should be me, your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, an adventurer with a lot of experience, can defeat other professors, powerful wizards, no one has an opinion, right?"
Lockhart's words moved Harry and the others, but made Darren even more puzzled, this guy is too different from the Lockhart in his memory, it seems that Lockhart was pushed down by Ron, this will take the initiative to ask for the front station, could it be that he entered a Harry Potter fandom world?
But no matter how much Darren wondered, when Lockhart was the first to slide into the pipe, Percy, Harry, and Ron entered in turn, Darren also entered the dark hole, and then slid down.
In the darkness, Darren could only feel that the walls of the pipe were smooth and sticky, and he tried not to think about what was attached to the pipe, but after twists and turns, all the way down, the soft cries from time to time in front of the pipe, let him know that he was still on the same route as everyone else.
Eventually, the pipe was finally level, and Darren felt that this should mean that the end was about to be reached, unless Salazar Slytherin intended to trap his heir deep underground, otherwise according to the laws of gravity, at Darren's current speed, he probably wouldn't be able to slide up far, and he would definitely not be able to return to the surface anyway.
Sure enough, after a while, Darren felt his body sink, and the slippery pipes that had been accompanying him suddenly disappeared, leaving only air around him, and obviously, Darren had not yet learned to fly in the air without relying on any props, and the air here was no different from other places, so naturally it could not support his weight, so the result was obvious, a close contact with the ground.
"Poof!"
Judging by the sound alone, Darren could give a preliminary estimate of the condition of the ground beneath him, and the subsequent touch confirmed his suspicions, and it was difficult to say which one was more disgusting compared to the pipes......
In an instant, Darren's eyes lit up, it was Percy's fluorescent spell, "fluorescent flicker", radiating a bright light from his wand.
Although the tunnel was dark, Percy's illumination allowed them to see what they saw, albeit in a small area......
Underneath them, in addition to the mud, were white bones, fortunately they were all very small, obviously not the bones of large animals, and I don't know how Harry knew that they were rat bones, and Hogwarts didn't teach zoology .......
"Is everyone alright?" Percy asked.
"I'm fine, what about the others?"
"I'm fine. ”
"I'm fine......"
After making sure that several people were safe and sound, everyone took out their wands and released a fluorescent spell to make the tunnel brighter and walked forward.
On the way, they saw a huge snakeskin, at least twenty feet, that is, six meters, the height of a two-story building!
"Oh my God!" Ron sighed weakly, and everyone, at least Darren felt that everyone knew what that meant.
"Well, at least we know that the basilisk is so big that it won't jump out from under the rocks and bite you," Lockhart said with a laugh, trying to ease the mood, but to no avail.
"Remember," Harry whispered as they cautiously walked forward, "close your eyes whenever there's any movement!"
As they progressed, the tunnel turned and turned, and at last they found a sturdy wall in front of them, with a metal gate made of metal, coiled around which several snakes were coiled, and their eyes were encrusted with large, glittering emeralds, exactly like the ones used by Slytherin House to score.
As if by some kind of hunch, Harry slowly approached the door and began to speak, Darren still heard a strange hissing sound, but when Harry's voice stopped, the statue of a snake at the bottom of the gate seemed to come to life, crawling forward in a meandering way, and every time it crawled in front of a snake statue, the snake statue that stood in its way would dodge backwards.
As the last snake left its original position and came to a standstill, the metal gate let out a dull rumbling sound, and then, the gate opened!
Inside the door, there was a long, dimly lit room, surrounded by many stone pillars carved with coiled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that dissolved into the darkness from above, casting long, eerie black shadows over the whole room filled with green and mystery.
"This is Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, a thousand years later, we have finally opened it, let's go in and see what is inside!" Percy pointed his wand into the doorway, "Get Ginny back, whoever takes her away!"
