Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 29 Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

“Explain, gentlemen!” Her eyes crossed three faces in turn.

“Explain what?” Ron looked a little panicked.

“Professor Snape was right, and you weren't even telling the truth in the office. Hermione said in an unquestionable tone," First of all, you, Ron, were in the bathroom on the third floor, and Filch's cat was attacked right outside that door. ”

“You, you wouldn't suspect that I did it?! ”

“Don't be silly, Ron.” Hermione waved, "Professor Dumbledore said," it's a dark magic that is so profound that we can't let it out at all. I wonder, have you really not noticed anything unusual? ”

“I just talked to Ivan, and I heard hissing, but I'm not sure, Mama Tao has been crying and the voice is loud. ”

“Maybe it's a clue.” Hermione, turn your head, "Harry, can you tell me what you heard? ”

“The voice said it was hungry, it was going to kill, like a ghost, and it went straight up through the stone walls of the castle.” Harry whispered, “and then we saw Philch's cat being petrified on the wall, which must have been the owner of that sound. ”

“But who is it, or what it is, I didn't hear anything at the time.” Hermione frowned.

“Who knows.” Harry hesitated, “you said," should I tell the professors the voice I heard? ”

“Don't say it! Ron replied without hesitation," Hearing voices that no one else can hear augurs well, even in the magical world. ”

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

“Of course I believe it.” Ron quickly said, "But you have to admit it's bizarre. ”

“I know it's weird.” Harry replied, "The whole incident was strange, you heard a hissing sound in the bathroom, and then Filch's cat was attacked. What happened to the words on the wall? The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. What does that mean? ”

“Perhaps we should think differently, who would be happy if the cat was attacked?” Ron said.

“This is not going to work, and everyone but Felch will be happy.“ Harry thought about it, "and what does that have to do with the Chamber of Secrets? ”

“I mean extra happy, or who hates that cat the most.” Ron was unwilling to add.

“Don't be ridiculous, I do know a little bit about intelligence, about the secret room legend.” Ivan sees Hermione not being involved in Harry and Ron's discussions, but instead looking at himself all the time, he has to reveal something.

When I heard him, Harry and Ron turned their heads together and looked at Ivan with amazement.

“I suppose you've all read Hogwarts, A History? ”

“No.” Harry and Ron shook their heads.

“Evan, you mean..." Hermione seems to recall something.

“Exactly, the secret room left behind by Salazar Slater.” Ivan continues, "Hogwarts is known to have been co-founded by four people, Goldrick Griffindor, Helga Hecky Patch, Royna Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, who worked together initially, but with time, the rift between Slytherin and others grew. ”

“Slytherin wants Hogwarts to be more selective in enrolling students, and he believes that magic education should be confined to purely magical families. He was reluctant to accept children born to Muggles and thought they could not be relied upon. Some days later, Slytherin and Griffindor had a heated quarrel over the issue, and Slytherin left the school, but he left a secret room in the school, which the other founders didn't know about. ”

“Chamber of Secrets?! ”

“Yes.” Ivan nodded, “That's all the credible writing in the book, but rumor has it that Slytherin closed the Chamber so no one could open it until his real heir came to school. Only the heir can open a secret room, release the horror inside, purify the chemistry school, and wipe out all those who are not worthy of learning magic. ”

The dark classroom suddenly calmed down and the atmosphere was tense and disturbing.

Harry, Ron and Hermione are all waiting for Ivan to continue.

“The story is over.” For a long time, Ivan softly said.

“But what did you just say about the horror in the secret room?” Hermione asked hastily.

“I don't know.” Ivan shook his head, "It could be some kind of monster, only Slytherin's successor could control it. ”

“Perfect for Slytherin's style, I knew Salazar Slytherin was a perverted old lunatic.” Ron continued, "but I didn't know he came up with this pure-blooded nonsense, and I wouldn't go to his college even if he gave me money for nothing. To be honest, if the cap had put me in Slytherin, I wouldn't say anything, just take the train home and see what kind of people are in that college. ”

“Wait!” Hermione's voice soared, "Think of the text on the wall, the chamber was opened by the heirs. And Harry just happened to hear something, and if Felch's cat was petrified by something horrible inside the Chamber, then..."

She can't go on, the other three know what she means.

“It can't be Harry, if I say so, the heir must be Malfoy, their whole family is pure blood, maybe he happens to be of Salazar Slytherin descent. ”

“Don't be silly, Hermione, Harry was with us just now, and he didn't have time.” Ivan followed suit.

“I know that, of course, I believe Harry, but it's strange, isn't it? He can hear voices we can't hear.” Hermione turns her eyes back to Evan, "you still haven't explained why you've been trying to break into the toilet room of the Peach Girl lately? ”

When he saw the three people's expressions of interest, Ivan whispered badly, and he didn't want to leave an image of snooping into the girls' bathroom, especially the one who was being spyed on or the crying Peach Golden Girl.

“Okay, okay, I'll be honest.” Ivan smiled bitterly, "In fact, in addition to the Chamber of Secrets, I had some other information. ”

“What is it?” The three of them asked in unison.

“As you know, in order to prepare articles for the newspaper history section, I went to the library to review Hogwarts Calendar Chronicle.” Eventon, “I found in that book a newspaper clip from 50 years ago that said the secret room was opened! ”

“What?! Who opened it? ”

“I don't know, it doesn't say.” Ivan shook his head, "It was all about the secret room, it was written by hand, but the news clip said that a girl named Metel Warren had died in an accident. Although I wasn't sure if her death had anything to do with the secret room, the girl was...”

Ivan took a yellow newspaper out of his clothes, which was a press release at the time, with a photograph of a girl.

“This is... the weeping Peach Golden Girl!!! ”

“That's right, that's her.” Ivan said quickly, "That's why I wanted to ask her if she noticed anything. ”
