Chapter 046 Secret Room

Snape pondered for a moment, nodded for Ixissia to leave, but didn't get up to look for it, and the other professors who heard it didn't look panicked, and the Halloween party went on as usual, until they noticed that the Gryffindor table was also missing three people.

"They're going to Nick's death party." Dumbledore explained with a smile, and the professors relaxed and continued to drink.

At this time, Catherine was looking at the Slytherin precept written in snake language in the secret room of the hunting meeting in shock.

She didn't understand until now why Snape couldn't hear that strange sound on the night of Quidditch dueling; Why did she find the pronunciation of the serpent statue strange on the night of the beginning of school? And why are the two giant snakes at the door of the Potions classroom and the dean's office, others only find them annoying.

For only she could understand what they were saying, and only she could understand the Slytherin precepts written in the serpent language.

Catherine didn't understand why she was a serpent, because according to the genealogy, she had nothing to do with Salazar Slytherin's descendants except Voldemort, and to her surprise, Snape taught her the Serpent's version of the Slytherin Sayings.

"It's shocking, isn't it?" Ixissi came to her with a wine glass, "The first time I saw you, it was the same as you, I didn't expect the words of the snake to be as smart as a living snake." ”

"I don't think they can be written with a normal pen." Draco was very careful about comparing them to those in Voldemort's diary, "They need magic to stay alive, otherwise they're just a lump of leeks." ”

"You're right." Catherine suddenly understood why she couldn't read what Voldemort was writing when she studied his diary, "Only living snakes speak snake language." ”

"Huh?" Pansy and Blaise looked at each other, not understanding what Catherine was talking about.

The Slytherin House Hunting Club chapter is not strict because its members are all students, and they only need to be in the top half of the grade ranking, and there are nine students in the second year, so five people are eligible.

Pansy was behind Catherine and Draco, followed by Theodore and Daphne, because of her mother, Mrs. Zabini, who had been married seven times and could easily deceive people, but the two of them were so good that they fought to give up fifth place to each other, and neither of them showed up.

Although Durac Stoko wanted to learn from Voldemort and turn this branch into a training base for believers who supported him, due to his own lack of strength, he turned it into a four-like monster, so many students had already joined the chapter, but today was the first time to attend the meeting, so the atmosphere of the meeting was very harmonious.

After all, it has been less than a year since the new official of Ixissius took office, and they still can't figure out how he plans to run this branch, and Lucius, the acting president who supports his ascension, has already secretly released rumors that it is better to succeed Catherine.

Catherine received a lot of kind messages, including three classmates, but Pansy remained by Draco's side, ready to attack anyone who coveted her at any time, and in the end, Blaise became the center of attention, and several of the seniors were amused by him.

At eight o'clock, Ixasy announced the end of the party and asked several third-graders to take everyone back to the Halloween party, when Catherine looked curiously at a golden necklace pulled out of the neck by a third-year senior, she suddenly heard a familiar voice from the ceiling.

【…… Tear you ...... Tear you apart...... Kill you......]

Catherine immediately looked up at the ceiling, confirming the direction in which the voice was moving.

"Catherine, what's wrong?" Draco asked curiously.

"Shh Catherine gestured to silence the voice.

【…… Hungry...... It's been a long time...... Homicide...... It's time......]

Catherine didn't hesitate to rush out of the hunt's chamber and run in the direction of the sound, Draco tried to hold her, but was a beat too slow to chase after her, Pansy and Blaise looked at each other and ran away.

"This--Senior Ixesi, what should I do?" The third-grade senior in charge asked anxiously.

"It's time, we have to go!" Ixissi looked at the clock and decided, "As for them, I'll inform the dean." ”

"Okay!" The third-graders turned the pendant of their necklaces, and then all those who remained in the hunting chamber vanished.

At the same time, Snape was leaving the side door of the Great Hall when he took out a pocket watch from his pocket and took a closer look at the dial, then ran up the marble staircase to the third floor, into an empty hallway.

Although the hands on the dial indicated that Draco and Catherine were nearby, there was no one in the entire aisle, except for a large trail of water, which Snape looked closer and found that on the wall next to the trail of water, a foot above the ground, between the two windows, was scribbled, which glittered in the light of the burning torches.

The Chamber of Secrets was opened.

Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary.

"Chamber of Secrets!" Snape gasped and immediately looked around for a few children, and finally found a door, an abandoned girls' bathroom, the territory of a female ghost, the weeping Myrtle, who had been the victim of the last time the Chamber of Secrets had been opened.

Snape slammed open the bathroom door, and found that in addition to the four Slytherin students who were running around, the three Gryffindor students who had not made it to the party were also inside, and when the door opened, the six students turned their heads and showed panicked expressions, except for Catherine, who was still looking at the pool and making a hissing sound.

【Open!】 】

A faucet suddenly glowed with a dazzling white light, and it began to spin rapidly, and then the pool began to sink, revealing a thick pipe, wide enough for a man to get into.

"Ahh A terrible scream rang out from the roof of a nearby private room, and then the ghost of a short and fat girl pounced on the water pipe, pointing at it in horror and shouting hysterically.

"It's here! There it is! That's where those frighteningly big yellow eyes came from! By the way—" She turned abruptly and glared at Catherine with a pair of angry eyes through her thick, pearl-colored glasses that almost half of her face obscured, "the sound you just made was exactly what I heard!" It's you, right! You're the one who killed me! ”

"Myrtle! Are you crazy enough! Snape shouted angrily and rushed in front of Catherine, forcibly pulling her behind him, "Fifty years ago, even her parents weren't born. ”

"Ahh I'm sorry! Professor Snape! I'm so sorry! Catherine! Myrtle's angry momentum vanished in an instant, and she said aggrievedly, tears falling quickly from her small transparent eyes, "It was so shocking to me just now, I couldn't help it—woo-woo-" She covered her face and cried out loud.

"How did you find out?" Snape ignored the weeping Myrtle and turned to ask Catherine.

"The location of the two consecutive crimes really can't help but make people suspicious." Catherine smiled, and without waiting for the others to respond, she let out another strange hissing sound: "Close! 】

The pool rose again, blocking the pipe, and the bathroom returned to its original state, which made Snape look at Catherine strangely, as well as Draco.

Draco opened his mouth to ask something, but was interrupted by the commotion outside the bathroom, followed by the sound of hundreds of feet climbing the stairs, and the cheerful laughter of people after a full meal.

"Oops! We'll find out! Ron let out a low sigh and looked around nervously.

[Open the secret passage to the principal's office!] Catherine used the snake language again, and the door to the bathroom closed automatically, then opened again, but behind the door was no longer the waterlogged corridor from earlier, but a bright passageway.

"Myrtle, come with us!" Catherine said, stepping into the passage first, without waiting for the others to respond.

The bustling and chattering outside the bathroom suddenly all disappeared, and the corridor was suddenly silent, and it was impossible to hear at least a few hundred people outside.

Myrtle hesitated and floated behind the girl.

"The chamber was opened. Those who are enemies of the heirs, be vigilant! Someone read aloud the handwriting on the wall.

The other six students glanced at each other and whispered along.

"What's going on here? What happened? Filch's voice rang out outside the bathroom, followed by his stumbling footsteps, followed by the footsteps of the other professors.

Snape turned back and threw a spell at the pool before entering the passageway, the bathroom door closing silently behind him.

"Alright, it's just a prank, prefects, lead the students back to their respective academies." Dumbledore laughed when he saw the scene, and then the noise of footsteps and chatter began again, and the corridor slowly became quiet again, until only the sound of him and Professor McGonagall was left.

"Dumbledore, is this really just a prank?" Professor McGonagall's voice contained unquenchable fear.

"We should ask the residents of this neighborhood." Dumbledore pushed open the door to the girls' bathroom, but it was empty, "Oh, Myrtle may not have come back at the death party." ”

"What then?" Professor McGonagall clutched her robes uneasily, "If it's true, then Hogwarts would-be—"

"Relax, Minerva—" Dumbledore comforted her by patting her shoulder, "According to my sources, he's currently hiding—" He stopped abruptly and looked up in the direction of his office.

"What's wrong, Albus?" Professor McGonagall asked, puzzled.

"We have a small group of guests." Dumbledore said with a smile, taking Professor McGonagall's hand and walking into a nearby secret passage.
