"What were you guys talking about? Is there anything about the Chamber of Secrets? Don't worry, the principal will take care of it, your first task is to study hard. ”

Luo Cheng pretended to teach the three of them, his attention focused on the flustered Ginny, the little girl had not yet learned how to hide her thoughts, and the little fools of Ron and Harry could not see that she was hiding a secret.

"Professor Luo Cheng! Can you tell us about the Chamber of Secrets? ”

Harry asked.

"You can find some clues about the secret room in the library in Hogwarts: A School History, and of course, if you go to borrow it at this time, you will find that the book has been borrowed."

Luo Cheng paused for a moment, then continued: "But you guys are very lucky, I can give you a rough idea directly." Hogwarts School was founded more than a thousand years ago by four of the greatest wizards of its 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 wizards were persecuted. ”

Luo Cheng paused, looked around, and saw that Draco Malfoy was looking not far away, so he raised his voice and continued: "In the first few years, several founders worked together in harmony, looking for young people who showed signs of magic, and brought 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 pure wizarding 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. ”

"That's what we know from reliable historical sources, and what follows is a strange legend about the Chamber of Secrets that cannot be verified. It is said that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, which 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. ”

Hearing this, Ginny grabbed Ron's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Ginny, you're a pureblood."

The nervous Ron comforted Ginny like this, forgetting that his best friend Harry Potter was just a half-blood wizard. Luckily, Harry didn't care what Ron said.

"So is the legend of this chamber true?"

"That's a hard question to answer." "The prevailing belief is that the Chamber of Secrets doesn't exist, as none of the Headmasters have found it in Hogwarts. Mr. Binns, the professor of the history of magic, thinks there is not the slightest evidence that Slytherin ever built such a secret broom shed or something. ”

"Professor Binns? But he's so old and confused that he can't even remember who we are. Ron said.

"Mr. Weasley, you are wrong. Professor Binns's advice is important in this regard. In case you don't know, Professor Binns has been Professor of the History of Magic since the founding of Hogwarts. When he was still alive, he was known for his quick mind and clarity of thought, and even Slytherin once praised him as a genius. Hogwarts: A History of the School describes the students as they reluctantly leave Professor Binns' classroom near lunch, and everyone seems excited. The change of species gave them their first glimpse of the magic of magic, and Professor Binns's history of magic filled the children with infinite reverie about magic. Although he lost something after becoming a ghost, no wizard knew Hogwarts better than Professor Binns, who had worked with the four founders! ”
