Chapter 15: The Chamber of Secrets
The next day, Harry and the three of them enjoyed the treatment of celebrities, of course, Harry was a celebrity before, but it was positive, and this time, it was obviously not a good thing, looking at everyone's dodgy eyes, and the chatter that immediately stopped as soon as he walked away, Harry was really depressed, and everyone seemed to hook up this attack with themselves. In fact, the little wizards were not very worried about this attack, after all, it was only a cat that was attacked, so who would be worried about a cat being attacked? The reason why everyone is so hotly talking about this matter is completely because the wizarding world is too dull, and finally there is a new thing, and everyone must have to discuss it for a long time, which makes Harry and the three of them bitter.
Of course, they haven't had time to pay attention to this lately, "bang", Hermione threw a book on the history of magic on the table, and it could be seen that Hermione was very irritated now, "I knew that I had brought my "A History of Hogwarts" with me, and the library had been borrowed. ”
"Hermione, didn't Professor Rochefort say that there is no such thing as a secret room that will be recorded in the history of the university?" Harry looked at Hermione incomprehensibly.
"I know, I just wanted to try!? But I don't need it anymore, I have figured out where to dig up the news of the secret room! Seeing Hermione's look of affirmation, Harry closed his mouth and obediently read his Quidditch Maintenance Manual.
……
In the history of magic class, Professor Binns, the only ghost professor at Hogwarts, a living history, really speaking, Professor Binns can be regarded as a hidden sage of Hogwarts, and there should be few things he doesn't know at Hogwarts, because he is completely a witness to history.
Professor Binns continued to speak in his flat voice, and the young wizards continued to laze under their desks, such as Ron playing cards with Seamus. But suddenly, a young wizard raised his hand, but it was clear that Professor Binns didn't notice it until ......
"Professor! Professor Binns, may I ask a question? Hermione's crisp voice rang out.
The voice was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, and the idle little wizards suddenly came to life, watching Hermione start whispering, and Professor Binns reacted for a long time before reacting, it seemed that he didn't expect any students to ask questions in his class, but he still held his glasses and asked in a slow voice, "Good!" Well, what's your name? ”
"Hermione, Hermione Granger! Professor. As soon as Hermione finished introducing herself, she immediately asked, "Professor, I want to ask about the secret room, do you know, Professor?" When the little wizards heard this, they immediately quieted down and looked at Professor Binns, after all, the topic of the Chamber of Secrets may be the hottest topic in recent times.
"Miss Granger, this is a class on the history of magic, we study history, things that really happened, things that are based on evidence, not those ethereal legends, well, we just talked about ......" It can be seen that Professor Binns was not very interested in Hermione's question, and even a little angry, but he was interrupted by Hermione's voice before he could pick up the previous class.
"But Professor, don't these legends also come from history? Wouldn't studying these also help us better understand history? Hermione's voice was still so crisp and persistent.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the students around him, Professor Binns cleared his throat and said slowly: "We all know that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the first school of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, and it was founded thousands of years ago by the four greatest wizards and wizards of that time, Godrick Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Salazar Slytherin, and Rowena Ravenclaw, the four great wizards had the same ideals and ambitions at the beginning of Hogwarts. In order to be able to better protect and educate the young wizards who appeared, the four wizards all contributed their knowledge and wealth, but gradually, the differences and conflicts between them began to be revealed, Godrick Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw all believed that young wizards of both pure-blood and Muggle origin should be protected and educated, especially Muggle-born wizards, after all, they were more persecuted, but Salazar • Slytherin didn't think so, he valued bloodline more, and bloodline had always been the selection criterion for Slytherin House, and the conflict between the four best friends began, and in the years that followed, the disagreement became more and more serious, and finally Salazar Slytherin and the other three wizards clashed and left Hogwarts. ”
After a pause, Professor Binns continued: "There is no historical record here, but legend has it that Salazar Slytherin did not simply leave Hogwarts, he left a secret chamber in this school, which contained weapons left for his descendants, specifically to remove the weapons of the school's young wizards who did not conform to his selection philosophy. ”
With that, Professor Binns stopped talking, and Hermione then asked, "Professor, is the so-called Slytherin idea, well, bloodline?" ”
"I think so, Miss Granger." Professor Binns replied in the affirmative.
……
"Someone must have opened the secret room, remember what the mentor said?" The magic of this petrified curse is special', and it must be because it has been lost, and I'm sure the descendants of Slytherin have taken the weapons left behind by their ancestors, and only something from a thousand years ago can be called 'special'! As soon as the class ended, Hermione said yes to Harry and Ron.
Harry and Ron both felt that Hermione's analysis was very correct, and they were both looking forward to Hermione's next analysis, who knew that Hermione actually hurried back to the Gryffindor common room, and Harry and Ron, who didn't know why, had to run back.
"Ginny, oh, thank you so much, Leia has been a little too clingy lately, why won't you let me go to class today, but it's good to have you." Hermin said excitedly.
It's a pity that they can't read Leia's expression, if there is a voiceover, they must be able to hear Leia's inner monologue: "Meow, I'm a good cat, meow, the owner is a *!" Meow, torture me every day. ”
Ginny happily handed Leia to Hermione and rushed to class, much to Harry and Ron's incomprehension, wasn't it just a cat! Hermione was just about to give Leia a stroke, but who knew that Leia suddenly jumped down and ran towards the girl's dormitory.
Helplessly, Hermione wanted to catch up, but suddenly, there was a slight heat in her chest, and her face was red, and Hermione hurriedly ran upstairs, and on the other side, Harry and Ron, two straight men of steel, couldn't understand all this at all, and no one next to her pulled out a ring from her neckline, which flashed with small golden letters, "Meet after dinner".
