Chapter 51: Into the Secret Room
Calvin looked at the dark entrance of the cave, turned to the three young wizards and said, "I will go down to deal with the monsters in the secret room, as for you, I suggest you stay on it, and it is better to go back to the common room of your own academy." ”
A moment of silence.
"I'm going down." Ron was the first to say. He had to go down, his sister was still down there.
"I'll go too." Harry made up his mind.
Draco didn't speak, but he didn't take a step back.
"It's okay, it didn't disappoint me, it's worthy of being my student." Calvin smiled and applied a levitation charm to the three of them. Harry only felt himself fluttering, and with a little force he floated off the ground.
"Are you ready?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Calvin waved his wand, and the four of them flew into the pitch-black water pipe like light soap bubbles.
It's a dark, sticky, endless slide. Harry could see that there were many other pipes that were branching out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as this one. The pipe twists and turns, winding around and down, with a steep slope all the way down.
Harry reckoned he had slipped deep into the school's ground, even deeper than the classrooms.

At last they landed smoothly in a circular clearing, surrounded by puddles of water and countless white mouse bones.
"Fluorescent flickering."
A yellow-green point of light flew out of Calvin's wand, illuminating the way.
Professor Capet doesn't seem to be talking about a spell that is a fluorescent spell...
Harry was a little strange, but he still looked ahead at the point of light.
"Children, I must remind you that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a ......"
"It's a basilisk, you can't look him in the eye." Draco picked it up quickly.
Calvin was silent for a moment before continuing, "I didn't expect you to find the truth so quickly, so as soon as you hear something, close your eyes immediately." ”
The four of them walked towards the thickest pipe, and it wasn't long before Calvin saw a behemoth entrenched in front of him.
"Close your eyes!" He shouted quickly as he pulled out his wand, and a bright yellow bolt of lightning slashed through the dark sewers, slamming into the behemoth's body.
Soon, the smell of scorched lakes permeated from the front, and there was no expected hissing and moving sound.
Calvin didn't dare to be careless, and several magical threads stretched out from his feet, reaching forward, and only after making sure that it was a dead thing with no signs of life did he open his eyes.
"It's all right, kids." Calvin walked quickly forward, and Harry opened his eyes as well, following Professor Capet to see what was going on.
It turned out to be a huge snake moult, green and shiny, and the surface was covered with dust. There was a large hole in the middle that had been burned out, and black smoke was still emitting, and it was here that Calvin's lightning struck.
"The basilisk is twenty feet long, and it looks like we're going to face a behemoth." Calvin picked up a piece of snake from the ground that had been hit by his spell and fell to the ground, as hard as a piece of metal, and even had a metallic sheen.
He took the serpent away, and with this, at least the petrified people could be healed anyway.
"Can we hurry, Professor Capet." Ron urged in a rare way.
Calvin could understand, after all, his sister hadn't seen it yet, so he nodded and waved his wand, and the bodies of the four people quickly floated. Then there was a gust of wind in Ron's ears, and he flew fast down the sewers.
Calvin controls the four men as they fly through the tunnel, and it doesn't take long for them to come across a sturdy wall carved with two intertwined snakes with large, glittering emeralds in their eyes.
"Harry, I'll leave it to you." Calvin controlled the four men to stop in front of the wall.
Harry nodded, and said in a low, hoarse hiss, "Open." ”
The two snakes separated, and the stone wall cracked in the middle and slowly slid to both sides and disappeared.
Behind the wall was a long, dimly lit space, with many stone pillars carved with coiled serpents, towering to support the ceiling that dissolved into the darkness of the heights, casting long, eerie black shadows over the entire room filled with green and mystery.
At the end of the space is a huge statue. There are no basilisks.
Calvin recognized it at a glance as a statue of Slytherin, and he was the only one with a monkey-like face.
At the foot of the statue, there stood a small figure in a black robe, with her back to Calvin and the others, and only her hair could be seen as red as flames.
"Ginny!" Ron screamed, fluttering his limbs and running towards Ginny. But he floated in the air, barely advancing an inch.
Ginny turned around when she heard Ron's shout, with an eerie smile on her face.
"You're coming so fast......"
Harry swears, it's definitely not Ginny's voice! It's a strange mix of adult males, adult females, and snake language.
It's Voldemort! Harry's instincts told him it was Voldemort's voice.
Calvin thought so too, and he controlled himself to fall to the ground while making the three little wizards turn around so that they wouldn't accidentally see the basilisk's eyes.
"Tom, I didn't expect us to meet again, but I'm curious how you managed to get your soul into the castle by evading my surveillance." As he spoke, he took out a pair of Thestrals' glasses and put them on, but to his surprise, there were no abrupt soul fragments on Ginny's body.
The eerie smile on Ginny's face became even more obvious, "Looks like you've found out too, right?" I'm not a soul, just a memory, a small memory left after the Horcrux was used. ”
"So, Pierce Hinkenes has implanted your memories in the soul of this little girl." Calvin's expression was serious, because it wouldn't be of much use, and Voldemort must have something else to do.
Ginny nodded, "Yaxley did it." You should know that memories are automatically repaired. ”
"But only if it's in the body of the owner of the memory." Calvin pulled out his wand, ready to do it.
Ginny raised her right hand, and a thin red thread appeared, one wrapped around her wrist and the other deep into the bottomless pool behind her.
"That's it, you should know that I have an in-depth study of the bloodline."
"I don't have time to have an academic discussion with you, Tom."
"Me too," said Ginny with a smile, "come out and meet the guests, cutie." ”
The cold pool behind Ginny began to stir, as if something was about to come out of it.
Calvin didn't dare to slack off, closed his eyes tightly, and pressed a sparkling gem to his forehead.
The gem quickly set into Calvin's forehead, forming an eyeball-like object, and the boy hole spun around, looking around.
