"Is the news reliable, Malfoy?"

Tom made up his mind and said to his best friend, Malfoy.

"I don't know, it's coming from Ravenclaw, and it's said that a certain student is going to transfer to this new school of magic, and it's in London." ”

Abraksas Malfoy was Lucius Malfoy's father, who was of course only a student now, and he also had platinum blonde hair.

When he was a student, at least at this time, he was one of Tom's few best friends.

"Maybe we can look into this school."

Tom's interest in the new school of magic arises.

You know, Hogwarts is the dominant family, monopolizing the position of British education for thousands of years, and no one has ever dared to challenge its position in its home Britain.

What's more, it's still in London, next door to Hogwarts...... It's almost a blatant declaration of war!

Guys who don't have the confidence to do this don't dare to do this, except for the crazy and stupid, of course.

Obviously, it's not just them who think so, but other little wizards as well.

Soon, with the connections of the parents behind these young wizards, they gathered all the information that the new magic school could gather on the surface.

Surprisingly few ...... It's really a new school that can't be new.

On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, opposite the tapestry where the troll stick beats Silly Barnabas, there is the interior of the Requirement Room.

It's a magical house, also known as the "House of Comings and Goings". Only go in when one really needs it.

It comes and goes, but when it does, it's always arranged to meet the needs of the person seeking help.

Tom Riddle hid the Ravenclaw crown among hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous items here.

Now, it is laid out as a place to pile up debris.

Everywhere there are mountains of debris, worn spell books, potion bottles with solid and liquid residues, discarded cauldrons, dark magic creations that glow with strange lights, and occasionally some Bludgers that can't fly············

The clutter that students of all generations have discarded in the Room of Requirement is here.

Tom walked here alone, purposefully walking through several garbage heaps to where he had stored his belongings.

"The crown is flying!"

He whispered the spell of the Flying Charm, the magic running through his body, unleashing it through his wand.

An inconspicuous crown, knocking through some debris, flew out from under some garbage heap, and landed exactly into Tom's hands.

The handsome student president, with a charming smile, spoke softly to the crown:

"Ms. Ravenclaw, I haven't seen you for another week. I don't know if you've thought it through, but do you want to tell me where your collection is? ”

In the dim crown, an ethereal female voice suddenly sounded:

"Shame on the Slytherins, you despicable villain, you are bare minded, I will not let you succeed."

The student council president's smile gradually cooled.

"Ah, lo and behold, do you think this is still your time? It's not like it was then. ”

"Do you think I don't dare to do anything with such a container that preserves your thoughts?"

"Actually, I'm not going to force it like that. I've always admired you, really. ”

His rhetoric did not seem to impress Yelena Ravenclaw, but he was not in a hurry and continued.

"I know you were working hard, the school was in danger at every turn, either the headmaster's enemy or the Muggle army, and even the students had Muggle guilt."

"Wasn't your last stop as headmaster a Muggle-born wizard who joined forces with a Muggle legion controlled by a dark wizard to break into the school?"

"Look, you protected them, but they swung knives at you, and for that you suffered a blow that was so hard to heal at the time that you didn't even see your daughter for the last time."

"Don't you think it's not worth it? So protecting those mudbloods? If they have a little shame, they will not betray! ”

It seemed that this sentence touched a sore spot, and Yelena's voice inside the crown came out again:

"Sheltering the persecuted wizards from the persecution of the Church is a common desire of all four of us, even your ancestor Slytherin! That's why we have Hogwarts! ”

"But that's not including the mudbloods!"

Tom's voice sharpened, and he said excitedly:

"Headmaster Ravenclaw, the last person who has been with you to protect Hogwarts is a pure-blood wizard except for the other three founders! And it's the mudbloods who have created secret passages and put them in the enemy! You paid with your life for this, and you can't see who is really trustworthy! ”

"Betrayers are only a part, and they can't be generalized."

Tom obviously knows a lot about that history, and I don't know how much effort he put into it, little by little, to find clues and restore the truth of Ravenclaw's death.

"On the contrary, I think you are bewitched by their pathetic appearance! They don't deserve sympathy! It was my ancestors who saw through the capricious and inferior nature of the mudbloods and made up their minds to prevent the mudbloods from going to school. ”

"And before you died, you forced my ancestors to agree not to prevent the Mudbloods from becoming students."

"You know, after you died, my ancestor left the land and never returned to this place—his original ancestral home!"

When Tom found out about Slytherin's secret lab, he found the notes he had left behind at the time, as well as his fear of Muggles.

In order to protect Hogwarts, Slytherin left a magically bound basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, along with a message for his descendants.

When Muggle wizards betray again, Hogwarts is on the verge of extinction, and they are no longer there, the Slytherin family should follow the wishes of their ancestors and summon basilisks to fight against the invading enemy.

In the Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin focuses on the chaotic times and the hardships the four of them struggled to maintain Hogwarts.

There were dark wizards, wars, and carnages everywhere, and the only piece of paradise was the school built by the four of their famous white wizards.

In the past few decades, they have experienced no less than 400 large-scale offensive and defensive battles, and once fought very hard.

Because the underage wizards could not be killed, they only relied on the professors and principals of the school to resist, and each of them had to face several times or even more than ten times the enemy, and had to rely on the traps and traps of the castle itself to defend.

The last battle of Ravenclaw's life, the main cause of her death, and the biggest trigger for Slytherin's escape, was that she was attacked from behind by the Muggle wizards she protected while protecting Hogwarts, and was severely injured by a variety of terrible dark arts that were insolvable at the time.

Slytherin himself completely lost trust in Muggle-born wizards and insisted that Hogwarts refuse Muggle wizards admission, but Ravenclaw forced him to agree not to interfere in the matter for many years.

The beginning and end, the turmoil of the times, blood and fire, betrayal and intrigue, and the breakdown of friendships, Slytherin recorded his worries, discouragements, and frustrations in detail.

Influenced by this, the young Tommy Riddle also firmly believed that Muggles could not be trusted, and was very wary of Muggle wizards, which naturally led to the potential for distrust.

Although there had been a brief peace in the wizarding world instead of a past era, Tom felt that it was all illusory, superficial, and that Muggles could attack Hogwarts at any time.

To do this, he had to gain more knowledge and support to strengthen the pure-bloods and unite in the face of possible Muggle wars.

That's why he's been pestering Ravenclaw, and if Slytherin can keep the Chamber of Secrets, the other founders might leave something behind.
