Chapter 480 Discussion of the Brotherhood
"The snakes that emerged from the sewers, the fake magic painting that can impersonate Connor, the magic scroll that can be used to perfection, and Slytherin's secret room...?"
"The previous incident of Harry being attacked by the python was also controlled by someone behind the scenes? Is Hermione's lost notebook also related to this incident?"
"Are we listening to a story?"
"Is this really what happened in our school? Was it really something our classmates did? Isn't this unreasonable?"
"Except Connor, who among us can do this? I don't even know how to use the magic pen now. It's over. The more I think about it, the more I think the culprit is Connor."
"."
Looking at the "brothers and sisters" who were discussing the incident excitedly, Connor didn't see a trace of nervousness on their faces, only eagerness and hunger.
Connor suspected that if they were released now, they would catch and sniff people like police dogs.
"This is so interesting! We should have sneaked out of the auditorium last night! George." The excitement on Fred's face was no longer concealed.
"If we hadn't been caught by Professor McGonagall, we would have slipped out of the auditorium, right? But we must admit that this thing is really exciting! I declare! This will be the most anticipated adventure of the year!" George was also satisfied The face is red, and the emotion is just a moving copy in their eyes?
"Hey, you two, please be serious. This is not an adventure game. It's not as simple as you think." Connor sighed and said, "Now that I've told you everything, I can do it too. Let me tell you some secrets that I have guessed."
"The first is the notebook lost by Hermione. I learned from the grapevine that the notebook was leaked from the Malfoy family. Isn't the Ministry of Magic strictly investigating dark magic items recently? Lucius kidnapped this notebook We all know that Lucius was a Death Eater in the past. What kind of black magic props do you think made him dare not keep them privately or sell them out, but chose to borrow them from others? Where is his hand sent to Hogwarts?"
"Is it something related to the mysterious man?!" The smart Cedric immediately guessed the answer that Connor wanted him to guess.
"That's right!" Connor looked around. The atmosphere at the scene became much more serious when Cedric said the name of the mysterious man. "I guess, no, I conclude that it is a piece of black magic related to the Dark Lord. Props.”
"." Hermione, who was sitting in the far corner, froze. When she thought that she might be holding a notebook belonging to the Dark Lord, she spent more than half a month knowing nothing about it. She felt chills all over her body. Inexplicably, I feel that I am too lucky
"So don't take this matter seriously. Our opponents this time are not just young wizards of the same age as us, but also that terrible Dark Lord! That person will not be merciful to you, and I suspect that behind the scenes The mastermind may have been controlled by the diary. Last night, the professors said that the snakes showed signs of being controlled by the Imperius Curse. This means that the mastermind behind the scenes may not even know what he is doing. Even he It’s very possible that it’s one of us here.”
After Connor said this, the atmosphere of joking in the conference room finally disappeared, and everyone now realized the seriousness of this matter.
Connor looked at everyone and continued: "And the second thing is about the secret room."
"The Chamber of Secrets? Does the secret room where Slytherin's treasure is hidden in the sentence on the wall really exist!?" Fred's eyes lit up again.
"I don't know if there is any treasure in the secret room. In fact, there are very few legends about the secret room. I once asked Professor Binns about this matter."
"Yes! Professor Binns, it is said that Professor Binns taught in the castle when the school was founded! He must know something! What did the professor say?" George clapped his hands with his fist and asked what everyone was curious about. The problem.
"Professor said. Shortly after the school was founded, there were differences between Slytherin and the other founders. Slytherin believed that magical education should only be limited to pure magical families. He was unwilling to accept children born by Muggles, thinking that they It was unreliable... Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce quarrel over this matter, and Slytherin left the school."
"There was a legend about the Chamber of Secrets. Slytherin built a secret room in the castle. The other founders knew nothing about it. Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets when he left school until his true heir. No one who comes to the school will be able to open it...Only the heir can open the secret room and release the horrible things inside, so that it can purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic."
After Connor finished telling his story, you could hear the drop of a needle in the conference room. Of course, what he said was what Professor Binns said to him, but he asked this question two years ago, and before today, most people were not familiar with it. Nothing is known about the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.
Later, some smart students will definitely think of asking Professor Binns, but they will only get the same explanation as this.
"Purge those who are not worthy of learning magic? Are we not wizards?" Penello, who was sitting next to Connor, couldn't help but sneered, then lowered his head and fell silent. The atmosphere was a little awkward. After all, there are only four or five Muggle-born wizards here.
"Don't worry, Penello..." Connor chuckled and shrugged: "Actually, Professor Binns also told me that the whole thing is nonsense, the secret room does not exist, it is just a story, specially designed to scare those simple-minded people. people."
".But if it was really just a story, I don't think he would have told me."
Cedric rolled his eyes: "Connor, do you mean that Professor Binns is lying to you?"
Connor shook his head, noncommittal: "Compared with this, I care more about what Professor Binns said about [the scary things inside]. I asked questions curiously at the time, and Professor Binns told me that it was the only A monster that only the heir of Slytherin can control.”
"It's a snake!" Almost all people with quick thinking have realized this. "It is said that Slytherin is a Parseltongue!"
"You are so smart," Connor nodded with satisfaction: "But your idea is not bold enough. Since it is a terrifying thing, how can it be just an ordinary snake?"
"Snake is a scary snake. Connor, do you mean that!?"
"Yes, among all the known snake-like magical animals, it is the most terrifying monster." A sharp light flashed in Connor's eyes: "I have every reason to suspect that in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, There’s a [basilisk] locked up!”
