On this bright afternoon, the students listened intently to an ancient legend.

"As you all know," said Professor Binns, in his usual slow style, "Hogwarts School was founded more than a thousand years ago – the exact date is uncertain – and was founded by four of the greatest wizards of the 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, who were afraid of magic and wizards were persecuted a lot. ”

"In the first few years, the founders worked in harmony with each other, looking for young people who showed signs of magic and bringing 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 solid history. Professor Binns seemed reluctant to go on, but the performance of the students below compelled him to continue.

He reluctantly said: "But in real history, there is a confusing legend. ”

"The story goes that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle that the other founders knew nothing about. ”

According to this 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. ”

When the story was over, the class fell silent.

Professor Binns finally said, "Of course, this is all nonsense, and only the most simple-minded would believe it." ”

After that, the students still wanted to know some other details from Professor Binns, such as what was the horror thing, could it be the super invincible horror monster Pikachu, the kind of one million volts, and how to open the secret room, whether it needed the blood of the Slytherin heirs, and so on.

Professor Binns glared: "It's all said, it's something that doesn't exist, it's a rumor, let's go back to the books." ”

Then, all the students thought at the same time: such a beautiful afternoon, it is really suitable for sleeping......

Dumbledore knew that Binns had been angry about the Chamber of Secrets after he had told him about the Chamber of Secrets in class (Dumbledore's nose was crooked in the original books), but he had been suppressing it.

......

The days passed slowly.

Because Harry wasn't that keen to explore the Chamber of Secrets, he didn't reveal that he heard snake language. Hermione was just curious about the Chamber of Secrets, and she didn't exaggerate to make a polyjuice potion to ask Malfoy about it.

This Saturday, around 11 a.m., all the teachers and students rushed to the Quidditch Stadium.

Today the air is humid, the sky is dark, there is thunder in the sky, maybe today's game is about to be played in a torrential rain.

Harry was dressed in a house uniform and sat in the stands with other students more than ten meters high.

Gryffindor and Slytherin's teams take to the field.

They each won the cheers of their house students, and the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students were cheering for Gryffindor, and they didn't want Slytherin to win.

Gryffindor captain Wood and the others gathered around to cheer them on.

"Even though they have the latest broomsticks, we haven't had a good rest since August. ”

"Their Seeker, Malfoy, wasn't going to pick up that quickly. ”

"This time, be sure to let them know that money is not everything. ”

......

Astoria sat down next to Harry and asked, "Brother, who will win?"

Harry shook his head, "I don't know, one is dominant on the broomstick, and the other is training harder. ”

Without Harry's involvement, Dobby, the elf of the Malfoy family, didn't come out of the way, and Bludger honestly bumped into the sky.

Half an hour later, it rained in the sky.

In the viewing seats of the four academies, magic was used to drive the rain away.

The players in the field roared through the rain.

The score of the game is not much different, and the Golden Snitch is still nowhere to be seen, both sides are a little anxious, and their physical strength cannot keep up.

The speed of flight in the sky also slowly decreased.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ms. Huo Qi discussed with the deans of the various colleges, the game was suspended, the players and spectators could go to dinner, or they could take a short break, and at half past two, the game resumed.

Harry didn't find the sport much fun, but during the meal, most of the students were discussing who would win the game for a while.

Harry wanted the boring game to be over soon.

So under Harry's strong "idea", just a few minutes after the afternoon game began, Gryffindor overtook Slytherin, and the score was 640-620. But then, Malfoy's lucky god possessed him, caught the Golden Snitch, and the game ended.

Excited and triumphant, Malfoy held the small golden snitch in his hand, and he looked at the Gryffindor House seat with a look of disgust, and raised the golden ball in his hand.

Harry was stunned, it must have been for me.

The other students didn't know about it, and they were furious, thinking that Malfoy was provoking, and scolded the Slytherins.

During the dinner in the evening, Wood came to Harry's side, complaining a little about why Harry didn't join the Quidditch team, as if he wanted to put the blame for today's loss on Harry, an innocent passerby.

When Harry figured out what he meant, he didn't even bother to do superficial work, and just ignored him.

After he left angrily, Hermione said, "I didn't expect him to be this kind of person......"

Harry listened to Hermione's grievances for him, and his mind was complicated, because the basilisk came out again.

......

A boy's got lost on a spiral staircase and went somewhere.

He carries a camera around his neck.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of something rubbing overhead.

Could it be the monster that has been rumored in the secret room lately? He grabbed his camera and followed, if he could get a picture of it...... He thought hot-headedly.

When he couldn't hear the sound, there was a thick pipe in front of him, and a shadow peeked through the pipe.

He held up his camera, a little excited.

Then, he saw a huge head with a pair of earthy yellow pupils.

He was petrified.

The basilisk completes its mission and disappears into the pipe.

It wasn't until the next day that Colin's body was discovered.

He quickly reported it to the Dean, who had arrived with Dumbledore and the Professors.

Dumbledore looked at Colin as a statue and said to himself, "It seems that the Chamber of Secrets has really been opened." ”

"Professor Sprout, how long will it take for the mandrake with the petrochemical treatment potion to grow?"

"Three months. Professor Sprout said worriedly.

Professor Lockhart interjected, "I have a way to make the mandrake grow as quickly as possible, it only takes three days. He smiled confidently.

Professor Sprout said angrily, "I'm a professor of botany, and I don't want me to have to regrow mandrakes from seeds." ”

Lockhart looked stupid, but he said, "If the mandrake is ripe, please let me prepare the potion for the treatment of petrification, and make sure that it is correct, in the ......"

Snape said gloomily from behind, "I'm sorry, but the Potions professor at this school isn't dead." ”

Lockhart shut up, he felt that all the professors were not very friendly to him, and he was clearly just trying to guide their work.

Dumbledore said heavily, "Hopefully, nothing will happen during this time, otherwise we may be at risk of closing the school." ”

As soon as these words came out, many teachers' faces changed slightly, they have worked in the school for many years, and they have a deep affection for the school, if the school can't even protect the safety of students, or even close the school, I'm afraid parents will no longer trust this kind of school.

But only two were unsorrowful, Snape and Lockhart.

Lockhart said with a sand sculpture: "Then if Mr. Dumbledore is suspended, he should find a professor to serve as the temporary headmaster, I think with my ability to deal with things without surprise, and strong strength, the council should consider me." ”

Snape just wanted to stay away from this sand sculpture, just entered Hogwarts, he wanted to climb to the sky in one step, he hadn't completed this goal yet, he had waited at the school for more than ten years without killing the old guy Dumbledore, and he dared to say it in front of the current headmaster.

Dumbledore had never regretted his decision to hire him so much, he thought he would be stupid, but he didn't have a brain.
