"Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets, Sir Nicholas?"

In an empty classroom on the fifth floor of the castle, William asked Nick, who was suspended in mid-air next to him, the resident ghost of Gryffindor House.

Surprisingly, there was a rare hint of exhaustion in William's voice.

It was the afternoon of the next day, and William got up and left the Ravenclaw common room after a rare sleep.

He was so tired that Professor Flitwick's duel training last night almost killed William, and he still had a dull ache in some parts of his body.

Gan! I don't know if I will awaken any special talents if I continue to contact Professor Flitwick like this.

William grumbled harshly, then quickly washed up and left the Ravenclaw common room.

He also had a meeting with Nick this afternoon, which had been agreed last time before the death party.

After breakfast in the Great Hall, William and Nick greeted him, who was waiting for him outside the Great Hall.

If you've ever been to Hogwarts, it's not hard to see that most ghosts don't want to come to the Great Hall during the students' meals, unless it's the beginning of the school year or the end of the year.

Because they are already dead, they can't feel what the living can feel, so whenever they step into such a lively place, they feel a strong sense of loneliness while listening to the laughter and laughter of the young wizards.

It's the feeling of being abandoned by the world.

Most of the ghosts don't like it, and Nick doesn't like it either, he tries to stay away from the auditorium, so it's not always there when the students are eating.

Of course, there are also lively and active people like the Fat Friar, but in general, there are more ghosts like Barrow the Blood.

After saying hello to Nick, the two of them made their way to the empty classroom on the fifth floor, where he had been last when he and the Weasley brothers had been on the run from Snape.

"Why do you ask this?" Hearing William's question, Nick asked a little strangely.

"You've probably heard of it, but after the death dinner that day, there was a nasty joke in the hallway on the second floor.

Filch's cat was brutally petrified, and the killer left a line on the wall telling everyone that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened. William briefly explained to Nick what had happened that night, and then continued.

"Now that the whole school is talking about Lady Loris and the secret room that was opened, since you've lived at Hogwarts for so many years, you must know something, right?"

"Hmm~~Let me think about it~~ I seem to have some memories of the secret room in my head~~ However, they are too far away, and I need to think about them." Nick's eyebrows twisted together.

"You may not know that after becoming ghosts, we lose a lot of memories of our lives, and only those that are the most impressive will be kept.

I don't really know much about the secret room, except that it seems to have been opened when I was in school. After thinking for a long time, Nick furrowed his brow and spoke to William, his memory had been lost too much to recall more specific things.

"So this legend is true, and the Chamber of Secrets really exists?" William looks like a curious baby, full of curiosity about the unknown.

"Of course! Of course the secret room exists, wait a minute, I remember!

Not long after I became a ghost, maybe a hundred or two hundred years later, a man with the surname Gaunt once told me that Slytherin had put his favorite pet in the secret room before leaving. Nick patted his head with a look of sudden realization.

He really remembered something.

Gaunt? Isn't that the family from which Voldemort's mother came? If memory serves, the earliest legend related to the secret room was passed down by the people of this family.

As for pets, isn't that what you're talking about?

"Pets? Slytherin left a pet? William showed a hint of surprise at the right time.

"Yes, but I've never seen it, and I think you should ask Barrow the Bloody about these secrets, he's the Slytherin ghost in the hospital, and he's definitely the one who knows the best about the secret room left by Slytherin."

"I'll ask Mr. Barrow, thank you, Sir Nicholas."

"He's not as talkative as I am, William." Nick kindly reminded William.

Bloody Barrow is definitely the most withdrawn of the ghosts, he is always so silent, his bony body and bloodstained clothes make him look a little uninspired.

Not only Peeves, but even the little snakes of Slytherin House were a little afraid of this terrifying-looking ghost, and it would be difficult for William to get words out of his mouth in Nick's opinion.

"It's okay, since Mr. Barrow has chosen to return to Hogwarts as a ghost, then he must still have an obsession that he can't let go, and I will find a way to get him to speak."

"It's good that you know. By the way, there's one more thing that I can't say. But I suggest that you, if you can, it's better to go to the secret room and see what you might get. There's a good chance that Slytherin left something behind in the Chamber of Secrets. Nick's words sound something else.

He had left something behind, an old monster that had lived for a thousand years.

"Can't you be specific?"

"I can't say William, this involves a clever secret spell, and it's not just me, it's the resident ghosts of every academy who keep this secret, it's a task we need to accomplish once we become ghosts. Only if you discover the secret yourself can we tell you what we know. Nick patiently explained to William that it wasn't that he didn't want to tell William, but that the power of magic had sealed his mouth.

"Okay, I'll definitely go inside the secret room if I can." William nodded, he must have gone to the secret room according to the original plan.

As long as you take a good look at it when the time comes, after all, the water in this world is already very deep, and some things that are not mentioned in the original book are also reasonable things.

"That's all for the Chamber of Secrets, you told me before that there was a way to completely separate my head from my body, right?"
