Chapter 874 The Secret Chamber Opens

The Slytherin students were in great trouble because they could not eat well or sleep well. Of course, they did not sit still and wait for death. They used magic to fight back, but it was useless to Duran.

For example, they poured ice water on Duran or attacked him with the Transfiguration Spell, but Duran was simply invulnerable to swords and guns, and it was useless for these students to test their magic.

On the contrary, although Duran's method was simple and crude, it made the students suffer enough.

Obviously, the scales of the war have completely tilted. The Slytherin students are getting more and more haggard. Dumbledore finally couldn't stand it and talked to Duran.

"Principal, if it is Slytherin College, it is a deadly feud between me and the little wizards, so I hope you don't interfere." Duran also blocked the principal unceremoniously.

"Duran, I know they don't have a good attitude towards Muggles, but as a professor, shouldn't you be more generous?"

"They won't be generous when they kill Muggles." Duran did not give in at all.

"But they are still children. We have the responsibility to teach them the correct outlook on life and the world. We cannot use violence." "Duran, I think you have gone too far recently. I hope you can stop criticizing Slytherin students and restore their meals and sleep time."

"If this is the headmaster's order."

Dumbledore found that Duran seemed to be able to relax, so he smiled and said, "This is the headmaster's order."

"Okay, let's call a truce from now on, but if Slytherin students provoke me again, the consequences will be more serious."

"I think they have learned during this period that even Muggles are not easy to deal with." Dumbledore emphasized the word Muggle, obviously not believing that Duran was a Muggle at all.

Leaving the headmaster's office, I found that the corridor was full of water.

Raising an eyebrow, it seems that the monster in the secret room has finally crawled out. Following the water, I saw Filch's cat hanging on the wall lamp, completely petrified, and two lines of words were written on the wall in red paint: The secret room has been opened, the enemy of the heir... Beware!

The paint has not dried yet, it should have been written while everyone was eating.

Harry, Ron, and Grant also came to the wall in a daze: "What happened to Professor Duran?"

"Nothing, why didn't you go to dinner, what are you doing here?"

"Professor, I heard a voice..." Harry's words were interrupted, because the students who were having dinner had already arrived, and they all saw everything, the petrified cat and the red words.

"Mrs. Norris, Harry, you killed my cat?!" Filch rushed over and immediately determined that it was Harry who did it, because Harry often broke the rules: "My poor Mrs. Norris." The cat was Filch's best friend.

When the Slytherin students saw the words "Chamber of Secrets", they all smiled, because the legendary Chamber of Secrets was designed by the first dean of Slytherin, who was a loyal pure-blood and didn't like half-blood wizards. The heir of the Chamber of Secrets would definitely take action against impure half-blood wizards or Muggle-born wizards.

"Durand, you're next." Malfoy was almost fooled by Durand on the first day on the train. Later, after knowing that Durand was a Muggle, his attitude changed 180 degrees. He hated Durand and felt sick when he thought that he had talked to a Muggle for so long.

Durand didn't care: "Filch, this cat is petrified, and I was the first to discover the scene. Harry and the others came later. If you want to doubt, doubt me."

"How could the professor do such a thing, especially you, you are a Muggle." "It must be Harry." Filch thought that Harry was a troublemaker like his father.

"Filch, there will be a way to treat your cat." Dumbledore also came: "Now all students go back to the dormitory, Harry, you three stay, and Durand."

Durand noticed his daughter's worried look and smiled to reassure Hermione.

"If I were here, I would never return empty-handed like Professor Durand. I have a way to fight the petrification spell." Although Harold was very scared, he still pretended to be brave.

"Maybe, next time you will have a chance to face the enemy head-on." Duran smiled. He didn't believe that this guy had the courage to face the monster in the chamber.

Dumbledore asked a few questions, but no one knew the answers now. Even Harry, who heard the whispers, was prepared to conceal them, because he was now afraid that the whispers would cause him to be linked to the attack.

After this night, there were many more legends in the college, and the Slytherin students did not bother Duran. They seemed to be waiting for the monster in the chamber to attack Duran.

However, after the cat was attacked, everything was calm, as if it was just a joke on Halloween. Since nothing happened, Duran went to participate in the skateboard race.

There was a huge live broadcast screen in Hogsmeade Village. Twelve people stepped on shoes and moved in various postures. Some stood upright, some sat, and some leaned back. The wizards slid in the way they thought they would be fast.

Duran used the skating method, with his two feet taking turns to move forward gracefully.

The weather was good today, and the sun was warm in early winter. The speed was about 100 yards, moving quickly along the railroad tracks.

The competition was fierce, and everyone wanted to take the lead, so spells appeared, which were spells to attack each other. Although they were not fatal, they could hinder the opponent, make the opponent faint or fall asleep, and then they could win.

It has to be said that wizards still don't understand the value of sportsmanship. Duran dodged those spells and took the lead, becoming the opponent of all wizards.

"Come on, Professor Duran." The students of Hogwarts cheered for Duran. They didn't know the other players, so of course they could only cheer for Duran. This game is very competitive and captures people's hearts. The competition for the first place makes young people's blood boil.

The constantly changing scenery in the screen, the high-speed moving players, and the high-intensity spell confrontation are different from Quidditch.

It's just that the journey of this competition is too long. The rankings were determined in the later stage, and the viewing experience was much less. This is a lesson that needs to be learned. Robin decided to shorten the race and deduct points for using spells.

Using spells to attack each other increases the watchability of the game, but they must not abuse spells, so each spell has points. It does not prevent players from using magic, but they must think clearly. Otherwise, even if they get the first place, they will be deducted points for using too many spells, causing the latecomers to catch up in points. That would be very unfair.

After the first game, most of the subsequent rules were basically determined.

After the racing competition ended, the Hogwarts Quidditch game was about to begin, and the first game was still between Gryffindor and Slytherin.
