Zhang Xu, who was sweating at the Lushan Waterfall, what he wanted to do most at the moment was to rush to Lockhart, "Professor, I want to learn the Forgetting Spell." ”

Although Lockhart is unreliable in many places, his hand of the Forgetting Charm can be said to be perfect, reaching the level of a professor.

Human memory is a very delicate existence, and the magic of deleting human memory is also very complicated.

And purposefully deleting part of a person's memories so that the other party will not be visibly harmed is a great test of the caster's operational level.

It's as simple as chopping up an entire book, but to tear out only certain contents, you have to find the pages of those contents first, and then carefully cut out the pages while ensuring that the rest of the book is intact.

If Zhang Xu is asked to take out his wand and cast the Oblivion Spell, the effect is the same as using a brick to cast the Oblivion Spell (physical).

Zhang Xu took fifteen minutes to explain to Ginny that he had focused on examining the scars on her arms and shoulders at that time, and that he had not done anything strange to her, and that Dumbledore and other professors were also in the ward at that time.

As for whether Jinny believes it or not, Zhang Xu himself believes it anyway.

In the end, Ginny herself made herself believe it, otherwise what to do, she mustered up the courage to ask Zhang Xu about this, just to ask for a peace of mind.

Zhang Xu came to the reading room and saw that the parchment that showed the theme of this afternoon's seminar salon said "Secret Room", and he knew that he would be busy in the afternoon.

All morning, Zhang Xu sat in his seat, thinking about the two plans he had just made.

During this period, Zhang Xu saw that Harry wanted to come to him two or three times, but gave up halfway through.

Zhang Xu didn't pay attention to him, who knows if he was looking for himself to talk about the basilisk or Ginny, neither of which was easy to deal with.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the reading room was more lively than ever.

The long table in the middle of the reading room was full of people.

The surrounding open space was also full of onlookers.

Today's atmosphere is more dignified than in the past, and it is no longer the relaxed and lively atmosphere of the past.

Seeing that it seemed to be a meeting today, Zhang Xu spoke first.

"Last night, Lady Loris's was attacked, and upon examination by the professors, it was not dead, but petrified."

"And on the wall where the crime occurred, it was written: 'The secret room has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary. These words. ”

"We should note that Ginny Weasley was attacked and injured before that."

"I think we should figure out these things, what is the Chamber of Secrets? What's inside the secret room? Who is the heir? Is there any connection between Ginny's attack and this? ”

When Ginny heard Zhang Xu mention this, her face turned pale and her whole body trembled, and she leaned on Harry's body, much to the dissatisfaction of Ron on the side.

Jade Stell, a seventh-year student at the Snake Academy, said, "At Hogwarts, there have long been legends about secret rooms and secret passages. ”

The students of the magic family nodded their heads, indicating that they had heard about it.

"When Hogwarts Castle was built, it was a time when Muggles were hunting wizards like crazy. At that time, in order to defend against the possible Muggle attack, the castle was built with numerous secret passages and secret rooms. ”

"Later, with the end of the Muggle threat, these passages and chambers were abandoned."

"Over the years, these secret passages and secret rooms have slowly been discovered. With regard to the secret passage, I think the two Mr. Weasleys have the most to say. ”

The twin brothers were smiling and nodding to the crowd.

"As for the secret rooms, in fact, many of them have their own names, such as the one that many of us use."

A group of senior students smiled heartily, making the younger students look sideways.

"And the only one named after the 'secret room' is the legendary one." Jade Steller said with a serious face on his face.

Many of the Snake Academy students present nodded solemnly at the same time.

"This morning, I consulted Professor Binns about the Chamber of Secrets." Penelope Criwatt, the prefect of the Eagle Academy, said as he opened a notebook, "Here's what Professor Binns said. ”

"You know, Hogwarts School was founded more than a thousand years ago, and the exact date is uncertain. Founded by four of the greatest witches and wizards of the time, four houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Together, they built the castle away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because at that time, the common people were afraid of magic and witches and witches were persecuted. ”

"In the first few years, the founders worked in harmony with each other, looking for young people who showed signs of magic and bringing them to the castle to be cultivated. Slowly, however, a disagreement began between them. The rift between Slytherin and the others grew. Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective when it came to recruiting students. He believed that magical education should be confined to purely magical families. He was reluctant to accept Muggle-born children, believing them to be unreliable. After a few days, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a heated argument over the issue, and Slytherin left the school. ”

Reliable historical sources tell us this. However, these pure facts are obscured by strange legends about the Chamber of Secrets. The story goes that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle that the other founders knew nothing about. According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only the heir can open the Chamber of Secrets, release the horrors inside, and let it purify the school and rid it of all those who don't deserve to learn magic. ”

Penelope Crivat finished reading the contents of his notebook, and the students around him fell silent.

"So, what's that 'horror inside'?" A badger student asked.

Then, the students began to talk about it.

"Maybe it's a powerful magical item."

"It could also be some kind of monster."

"If it's a magic item, how much magic will pass over a thousand years?"

"What monster can live for a thousand years?"

"If it's a magic item, it can only petrify a cat instead of killing it, wouldn't it be too powerful?"

"Could it be that the user doesn't have full control over it?"

"If it's left by Slytherin, then only his heirs can use it, right?"

"Or maybe it's some kind of monster that has been sealed by Slytherin, and only his heirs can control it?"

"If Miss Weasley's killer is the same person, why didn't that person kill her?"

"Maybe it's because Miss Weasley is a pureblood, and that person doesn't kill purebloods."

"Could Miss Weasley be the heir of Slytherin? She was injured while opening the chamber. ”

"Hahahaha! Will the heirs of Slytherin be in Gryffindor? ”

"It could be that the man was touched by Miss Weasley while opening the Chamber of Secrets and wounded her, but because she was a pure-blood, he didn't kill her, just erased her memory."

"Possibly, Bonnie Wright, where did you find the injured Miss Weasley? Maybe the Chamber of Secrets is nearby. ”

"Filch searched around that place at least ten times, and found nothing related to the secret rooms and secret passages."

"I thought that horrible thing might have been some kind of monster, and the Slytherin heir ordered it to ambush and attack people in that place, and the cat was attacked as a step ahead of the students. The descendants of Slytherin must have been Slytherin students, but all the Slytherin students were there at the dinner that day. If it's a magic item, no one will put it in that place. ”

"Monsters will leave traces."

"Magical items may too."

……

The students discussed for a long time, but they didn't come out with a discussion, and although some people guessed the truth, there was a lack of decisive collation.

At this time, Zhang Xu was too lazy to think about how to bring the rhythm, because he found that the students of Hogwarts had developed the initiative to solve problems, instead of blindly fearing and waiting except for the protagonist trio as in the "plot".

If Zhang Xu deliberately guides and suppresses the students, it will make people think that "Zhang Xu is the heir of Slytherin" may be the truth. As soon as this brain hole came out, more people agreed with it than those who thought Harry Potter was a Slytherin heir.

Seeing that dinner time was approaching, Zhang Xu ended the discussion.

Finally, Zhang Xu proposed several directions.

"What is a secret room? At present, there is only Professor Binns's account, and you can look for other legends and records about the Chamber of Secrets to corroborate each other. ”

"What's in the Secret Room? At present, there are two kinds of guesses: magic items and magic monsters, and you can find out if there are any eligible magic items and magic monsters in the library. ”

"As for who the heir is? I wish the heir would have stepped up on his own, but that's obviously not possible. But what I want to say is that I hope you don't suspect someone lightly until you have conclusive evidence. ”

"I think that by solving these problems, we can better analyze whether there is a connection between the attack on Ginny and this incident."

"Another important point, I hope you can pay attention to the details around you that are abnormal. Sometimes, these details can provide important clues. ”

"We gathered the clues we could find, and I believe we could find the truth."
