Chapter 30 Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

"Explain, gentlemen!" Her gaze swept across the faces of the three in turn.

"Explain what?" Ron looked panicked.

"Professor Snape is right, you didn't tell the truth in the office," Hermione said in a sure tone, "First of all, Ron, you happened to be in the bathroom on the third floor, Filch's cat. It was attacked just outside that door."

"You, you won't doubt, that's what I did?!"

"Don't be silly, Ron." Hermione waved, "Professor Dumbledore said it, it's a very deep black magic, we can't cast it at all, what I want to ask is, do you really Didn't you notice anything unusual?"

"I told Ai Wen just now that I heard a hissing sound, but I'm not sure, Myrtle has been crying, it's loud."

"Maybe it's a clue." Hermione turned her head. "Harry, can you tell me what you heard?"

"The voice said it was starving, and it was going to kill, like a ghost, and it went straight up through the stone walls of the castle," Harry explained in a low voice, "and then we saw Filch's cat petrified. On the wall, it must be the owner of that voice."

"But who was that, or what it was, I didn't hear a single sound." Hermione frowned.

"Who knows," said Harry hesitantly. "You say, should I tell the professors about that voice I heard?"

"Don't say it!" Ron replied without hesitation. "It's not a good sign to hear voices that others can't hear, even in the wizarding world."

Harry heard something in Ron's voice, and he asked, "You believe me, don't you?"

"Of course I do," said Ron quickly. "But, you've got to admit it's bizarre."

"I know it's bizarre," Harry replied, "the whole thing is bizarre, you hear hissing in the bathroom and Filch's cat is attacked, what's the writing on the wall? What's going on? The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, what does that mean?"

"Maybe, we should think about it another way. Who would be happy that the cat was attacked?" Ron said.

"It won't work, everyone but Filch will be happy." Harry thought for a moment. "And what does this have to do with the Chamber of Secrets?"

"I mean extremely happy, or who hates that cat the most." Ron added reluctantly.

"Don't guess, I do know some information, there are legends about the secret room." Ivan saw that Hermione did not participate in the discussion between Harry and Ron, but kept looking at himself, he had to reveal something something out.

Hearing his words, Harry and Ron both turned their heads and looked at Ivan in surprise.

"I think you've all read the book A History of Hogwarts?"

"No." Harry and Ron shook their heads.

"Evan, you mean..." Hermione seemed to think of something.

"That's right, the secret room left by Salazar Slater." Ivan continued, "As we all know, Hogwarts was made by Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Roy. Created by four people, Narravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, they initially worked together, but over time the rift between Slytherin and the others grew."

"Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective about his students, he believed that magical education should be limited to purely magical families. He was reluctant to accept Muggle-born children, thinking they were unreliable. After a while, Slater Lin and Gryffindor had a heated argument over this issue, and Slytherin left the school, but he left a secret room in the school that the other founders knew nothing about."

"The secret room?!"

"Yes." Ivan nodded, "The reliable text in the book ends here, but there are rumors that Slytherin closed the secret room so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. .Only the heir can open the secret room, release the horrible things inside, and let it purify the school and remove all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

There was a sudden silence in the dark classroom, and the atmosphere was tense and disturbing.

None of Harry, Ron, and Hermione spoke, and they all waited for Ivan to continue speaking.

"The story is over." After a long time, Ai Wen said softly.

"But what did you mean when you said the horrible things in the secret room?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

"I don't know." Ivan shook his head, "It may be some kind of monster, and only the heirs of Slytherin can control it."

"It's very Slytherin style, I've known Salazar Slytherin is a perverted old maniac." Ron continued, "But I don't know that he came up with this pure blood nonsense, even if the white Give me the money, and I won't get into his house. To be honest, if the Sorting Hat put me in Slytherin, I wouldn't say a word, just take the train home and see what's going on in that house people."

"Wait!" Hermione's voice rose sharply, "think about the writing on the wall, the Chamber of Secrets was opened by the heir. And Harry just heard something, if Filch's cat was locked in the Chamber of Secrets. Horrible things are petrified, so..."

She couldn't go on, the other three knew what she meant.

"It can't be Harry. If I want to say, the successor must be Malfoy. Their family is pure blood. Maybe he happens to be a descendant of Salazar Slytherin."

"Don't think about it, Hermione, Harry has been with us just now, he has no time." Ivan also said.

"I know this, of course I believe Harry, but this is very strange, isn't it, he can hear the voice we can't hear." Hermione turned her eyes back to Ai Wen, "Speaking of which, you haven't explained it yet. , why have you been trying to break into Myrtle's bathroom lately?"

Seeing the three people's expressions of interest, Ai Wen secretly said that it was bad, he didn't want to leave behind the image of peeping into the girls' bathroom, especially the crying Myrtle who was peeped.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell the truth." Ai Wen smiled bitterly, "In fact, in addition to the secret room, I also have some other information."

"What?" the three asked in unison.

"You know, in order to prepare an article for the newspaper's history section, I went to the library to read "Hogwarts Chronicle of Events"." Ivan paused, "I found a fifty-year-old book in that book. Newspaper clippings that say the Chamber of Secrets has been opened!"

"What?! Who opened it?"

"I don't know, it's not written in it." Ivan shook his head, "The above sentence is related to the Chamber of Secrets, and it was written by hand, but the news in the clipping was that a girl named Myrtle Warren was involved in an accident. She died in an accident, although I'm not sure if her death has anything to do with the secret room, but the girl is..."

Ai Wen took out a yellowed newspaper from inside his clothes, which was a news introduction at the time, with a photo of a girl on it.

"This is... Crying Myrtle!!!"

"That's right, it's her." Ai Wen said quickly, "That's why I wanted to ask her if she noticed anything."
