054. Conversation with Ms. Gray

"I don't need to tell Roger and Milton about this."

Scott gave Eddie a word of instruction and left the dormitory in full dress.

It was far from the time he had agreed with the Weasley twins, but he decided to go to the empty classroom on the third floor of the main building to get some preparations.

It's just that as he passes by the common room, he suddenly changes his mind - after he sees Ms. Gray floating alone in front of the library shelves.

Probably because it was Halloween Eve, there were no students reading in the small library that belonged to the common room of Ravenclaw College.

Scott walked into the library alone, stopped five paces behind Ms. Gray, and spoke politely.

"Hello, Ms. Gray."

Ms. Gray turned and looked at Scott with a very nonchalant look.

"What's the matter?" She asked lightly.

Scott didn't care about the Ghost Lady's arrogant and indifferent attitude, she did that to everyone.

And if it wasn't a Ravenclaw student who greeted her, she wouldn't even speak at all.

Scott kept a polite attitude and slowly spoke: "Excuse me, I wonder if you know about the incident that happened after today's dinner?" ”

Miss Gray shook her head, "I just got back from Sir Nicholas' 500th Anniversary Death Dinner, what happened?" ”

"Someone petrified Filch's cat." Scott began to talk about the incident, "and left a handwriting on the wall. ”

He recited the line to Miss Gray, "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heirs, be wary. ”

Hearing this, Ms. Gray's face finally changed. She almost blurted out, "The Chamber of Secrets? A Slytherin Chamber of Secrets? ”

"That's right, Miss Gray." Scott frowned slightly, with a worried expression, "I've also heard the rumors about the Slytherin Chamber and the Heir, and you may not know that I'm a Muggle-born wizard. ”

He looked up, and Lady Gray still looked at him with indifference.

Scott continued: "I just wanted to ask you if that rumor is true or not. Rumor has it that the Heir will release the monsters in the Slytherin Chambers and rid Muggle-born students of Muggle origin. ”

At this point, Ms. Gray finally spoke again.

"The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, even I don't know if it exists." She said.

Then, her eyes became a little glazed, as if she was caught in a distant memory.

Scott didn't give up.

"Slytherin is rumored to have parted ways with the other three House founders due to their different attitudes towards Muggle-born wizards, can he really afford to secretly leave a secret room and a monster like that at Hogwarts?"

He asked, a little embarrassed.

"I mean, if the rumors were true, the other three founders wouldn't agree to him doing it, would they?"

"Of course they wouldn't agree to that!" "But no one knows if Slytherin ever built a vault." ”

Her tone was reminiscent, "The four academies are the respective territories of those four great wizards, even if they are friends, they will not go to other academies to bother. Moreover, they did not suspect each other at that time. ”

She seemed to have opened the conversation, and without Scott asking again, she took the initiative to say, "The rumors of the secret room have been around for a long time. In the early days, some suspected that Slytherin had secretly built a secret classroom to teach the students he had chosen privately. They think he's teaching evil black magic. ”

Scott nodded to himself, it seemed that this was the original version of the Slytherin Chamber rumors.

"Of course, when Slytherin left, no one spoke of it again. Until fifty years ago......"

At this point, she stopped abruptly.

"Excuse me, did anything happen fifty years ago?" Scott asked.

"Maybe I shouldn't have told you this." "But who made you a Ravenclaw student?" Ms. Gray said. I don't want to see you lose your life in search of answers. ”

"Thank you!" Scott smiled gratefully.

"The rumors you hear start 50 years ago," Ms. Gray said. At that time, a Ravenclaw student tragically died, and the cause of her death was not even known. ”

Skod's head.

He'll do that. The Ravenclaw student who died fifty years ago is the ghost of the "Crying Myrtle" who now lives in the women's bathroom on the second floor of the main building.

"After that student's death, rumors about the Slytherin Chamber and the heir popped up and even intensified."

Ms. Gray selectively told Scott some of the truths he had known for a long time.

Looks like this is the second version of the Secret Room rumors, Scott thought.

"Anyway, your name is Trollope?"

Scott nodded, "Scott, ma'am." ”

"Trollope." Miss Gray stared and affirmed, "As far as I know, Slytherin doesn't have any heirs. ”

Scott asked her in surprise, "But I heard that a pure-blood family in the British wizarding world is a descendant of Slytherin?" ”

"That's a descendant of his daughter's husband's family, and it has nothing to do with the Slytherins." "When Slytherin left Hogwarts, he didn't even take his daughter with him. No one knew where he had gone. In short, he never appeared again. ”

Scott wanted to ask again, but Ms. Gray turned around and made a gesture of refusal to communicate.

Scott could only thank him politely and turn away.

However, as he walked out of the common room, Ms. Gray's voice came from behind him again.

"Don't go after something that is beyond your own ability."

However, when he turned around, the ghost lady who belonged to Ravenclaw College had disappeared without a trace.

Scott smiled and walked out the door of the common room.

As he descended the stairs, he recalled the conversation he had had with Ms. Gray.

Although he didn't gain much from this conversation, he did gain something.

First of all, he learned the true face of the rumors of the secret room.

The so-called "heir of Slytherin" is probably as he guessed, and it was made up by the Voldemort guy in order to put gold on his face.

Combined with the background of the times, Scott felt that Slytherin himself only distrusted Muggle-born wizards at most, and he was worried that Muggle-born wizards would fall to the side of the Holy See, which was also human.

And Voldemort himself was the one who hated Muggle blood because he hated his origins.

If Slytherin really wanted to get rid of Muggle-born students, I am afraid that they would not have left quietly back then.

Secondly, judging from Ms. Gray's statement, the Gaunt family, who once claimed to be descendants of Slytherin, probably put gold on their faces like Voldemort.

It is ridiculous that Slytherin's daughters took their husband's surname after they married, and that her descendants clinged to her mother's reputation.

And in this way, the relationship between Voldemort himself and Slytherin is about to turn one more corner.

Thinking about it, Scott thought it was quite interesting.
