Chapter 137: The Chamber of Secrets
h2> "Alright, everyone, it's time to go home, please take your belongings and return to the dormitory with your respective prefects." β
Everyone packed up their things according to Yan, stood up from their seats, formed a group with the students of the same house, and walked towards the dormitory area under the leadership of a senior prefect.
The crowd walked through the corridors, but suddenly, they stopped in one of the corridors.
It is a large Z-shaped corridor with walls on one side and castle windows on the other, illuminated by several flapping torches. But that wasn't what made everyone stop, what really stopped all the students was the three people standing in the hallway at this time - Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione, and the Maine with its tail hanging in front of them, Mrs. Loris, who was stiff like a specimen, and a row of words written in blood on the wall.
"The secret room has been opened, beware, enemies of the heirs!"
"Enemies of heirs, beware." At this time, Malfoy read the sermon. Then he suddenly turned his head to look at Hermione standing in the middle of the hallway, and threatened, "You're next, Muggle seed." β
Hermione's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at. Muggle-born students from other houses were more or less the same, but none of them spoke, making the scene very depressing for a while.
Thankfully, it didn't last long, and Filch, the administrator's unpleasant voice rang out in the hallway.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up, get out of the way ......"
Filch pushed through the crowd and walked to the center of the hallway.
"What are you doing......, Potter," Filch asked, narrowing his eyes. But before he could finish speaking, his eyes were drawn to the stiff figure of Lady Loris hanging behind Potter.
"Mrs. Loris." Filch's eyes widened, and he muttered with a look of disbelief in his eyes. Then he lowered his head again, stared directly at Potter in front of him with sharp eyes, and said angrily, "You actually killed my cat!?" β
"No......," Potter quickly shook his head and denied.
"I'm going to kill you." Filch kept Potter's explanation, grabbed Potter's collar with an excited face, and roared, "I'm going to kill you!" β
Potter's face was flustered, his mouth stammering, unable to speak.
"Filch!" Fortunately, at this moment, Dumbledore's voice suddenly came from the back of the crowd, and then while walking to the front of the student group, he continued to whisper and reassure, "Don't be impulsive. β
It was also at this moment that he appeared with the blood-colored writing on the wall. Then the tone of conversation changed, and he said to all the students present, "Everyone, go back to your dormitory immediately, you are not allowed to come out." β
Some of the students who had long been frightened by the blood-colored writing on the wall dared to hesitate, and immediately turned around and rushed towards their dormitories.
But think about it, although these students present are all wizards with magical powers, but in the academy, they are just a group of children who have never seen blood and the world, and they are no different from ordinary children outside, and it is normal to be scared, after all, not everyone is stupid and bold and can turn a blind eye to the threat of terror.
"Except, you three." At this time, Dumbledore said again. As he spoke, he reached out and nodded on Harry Potter, Ron, and Hermione.
The others turned their heads to look at the three Harry Potters, and then stopped and returned to their dormitories under the prefect's guidance.
β¦β¦
"It's horrible." On the way back to the dormitory, Terry whispered next to Zhou Chao.
"Could it be someone's prank?" Michael guessed.
"Who would do such a bad prank?" Terry asked rhetorically.
"Like, Brother Veles." Michael thought for a moment and said.
"Probably not, right?" Terry hesitated.
"Anthony, what do you think?" Michael turned his head to look at the silent Zhou Chao and asked.
"Who knows, it's a fact that Mrs. Loris has a problem anyway, so it's better to be careful in the future." Zhou Chao said in a low voice.
"You're right." Terry nodded in agreement.
"Poor Mrs. Loris." Michael said softly.
Then everyone returned to the dormitory, said goodnight to each other, and rested.
The night was fine, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.
This morning, Transfiguration class.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me." "Well, today, we're going to learn about turning animals into goblets, like this," Professor McGonagall said. β
"One, two, three, transfiguration."
As she counted, Professor McGonagall tapped the magic weapon in her hand to the bird standing on the stand beside her, and then the whole bird's form changed, from a live bird to a sparked goblet, and the whole process looked magical.
"It's not scientific." Zhou Chao muttered secretly.
Of course, this is also the case, at this time, he is not very smart, and he has no heart to think about how magic can be explained by science.
"Now it's your turn." Professor McGonagall said, then stepped off the podium, "Who's going to show first?" β
"Yes, Willes." Professor McGonagall walked over to Ron and said, "One, two, three, transfiguration." β
Ron nodded, coughed lightly, and took out his tape-bound Demon Breaker and cast a Transfiguration Spell on his Demon Banban.
βtransfigurationγβ
In an instant, he saw a flash of green magic light, and the speckled form of the big mouse beside him was about to transform into a goblet, but it was not complete, not only did it have its original fur, but even the tail still existed, making the goblet he conjure look very weird.
"It's time for you to change your magic fight, Willes." Professor McGonagall said.
Then, immediately after, Hermione's arms were raised high.
"What's the matter, Granger?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"Professor, I don't know, can you tell us about the secret room?" Hermione asked, figuring her words.
As soon as these words came out, the whole classroom fell silent, and all the students' eyes looked at McGonagall in the room. Obviously, all the students present were curious about the secret room, and even depending on the situation, if they didn't explain it well, the class might not be good.
"Okay." McGonagall took a deep breath and agreed. Then he opened his mouth and explained the secrets of the founding of Hogwarts.
The whole story is simple, the four founders disagree because of their ideas, and then Slytherin leaves the house in anger because he can't convince the others. It's just that although the others are gone, there is still something left in the academy, which is the so-called secret room.
Legend has it that when his heirs returned, they would open the Chamber of Secrets and release the horrors inside, making it clear to those in the academy who were not suitable for studying magic, namely Muggle-born students.
"Of course, the school personnel have searched several times, but they have not been able to find the secret room." Professor McGonagall concluded.
"Professor, did the legend say what is in the secret room?" Reluctant, Hermione asked again.
"Legend has it that the thing in the Chamber of Secrets can only be controlled by the descendants of Slytherin, and I heard that there is a terrible monster living in it." McGonagall replied.
Hearing this, Hermione's face turned unpleasant. Ron also turned his head in horror and looked at Malfoy, who was sitting not far behind him.
"Alright, let's move on to class." McGonagall clapped her hands slightly, calling the attention of the somewhat startled students.
Then there were no more accidents, and the course ended smoothly.
Everyone picked up their belongings and left the classroom.
"You say, is that secret room real?" Terry asked.
"It must be true, didn't you see Professor McGonagall's worried expression when she was talking about the secret room?" Michael said. I didn't see it, this little guy still has a bit of a talent for looking at faces.
"Probably true, after all, in Slytherin's style, it was completely done." Zhou Chao, who knew the truth, said casually.
"Aren't we finished?" Terry said with a look of panic.
It is worth mentioning that Terry, like Anthony who occupied the body of the Zhou Dynasty, is of pure Muggle origin. Michael was of mixed race, and one of his parents was of Muggle origin. So according to Slytherin's pure-blood theory, all three are likely to be attacked, but Anthony and Terry have bigger targets, and Michael's is lower.
"Be as careful as possible." Zhou Chao sighed.
Although he knew the truth, there was nothing he could do about the basilisk, unless he was willing to expose ISIS, but in that case, even if he saved his life in the end, he would be troubled by Dumbled, which would make things more troublesome. So at this time, Zhou Chao was also in a semi-dangerous state, like other Muggle-born students.
ββ¦β¦ I warn you that this method is dangerous, and we have to break at least fifty school rules. At that moment, Hermione's voice came from the front.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione." Zhou Chao greeted.
"Anthony." Ron shouted.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Chao asked.
"Nothing, talking about the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione glanced up at Ron and Harry, and said half-truthfully.
"Don't worry too much, the professors will fix the problem." Zhou Chao, who knew that Hermione was fooling him again, secretly pursed his lips and comforted.
"I hope so." Hermione sighed.
"By the way, where are you going to go later?" Zhou Chao asked again.
"Probably going to the library, what about you?" Hermione looked at Zhou Chao and Terry and Michael, who were accompanying him, and said.
"I'm going to train for Quidditch, after all, it's going to be a game in a few days." Zhou Chao sighed.
"Huh? Did you join the Quidditch team as well? Ron was surprised.
"Well, I just joined some time ago." Speaking of this, Zhou Chao turned his head to look at Harry and smiled, "When the time comes, you will have to be merciful, Harry." βr1152
