Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 59 Keys to unlocking the treasure

Ivan sat up struggling and had a pain all over his body.

He should now be inside Slytherin's statue, surrounded by a large space, just above a narrow circular aperture where the serpent slips in and out.

“Strange, back a thousand years ago Hogwarts those things, are they dreaming?!” Ivan shook his head and stroked his wand around the ground with his hands.

While touching the wand, he touched a bottle.

“Fluorescent flashes!” Evan read softly and through the faint light on his wand, he saw that he had a tiny bottle of dark gold medicine in his hand.

“This... is not Slytherin's antidote to me! ”

Evan stunned and suddenly realized that what had just happened was not a dream, but a real thing, and he did use that time-transfer to get back to Hogwarts a thousand years ago and meet the legendary four giants.

As Hecky Patch initially said to himself, Slytherin was not as hard to reach as he looked, and at the end of the day, he gave himself a bottle of a precious magic additive, which was incredible!

Evan once read in a magic book about magic potions, additive potions are an extremely precious magic potion, and formulas and brewing methods have long been lost.

He puts the medicine carefully in his pocket. If he lets others know he has a bottle of magic additive, it will definitely cause a huge sensation. Maybe even the Ministry of Magic will ask him for it. This is not what Ivan wanted to happen.

He was going to take this medicine to boost his strength when no one was around, and then Ivan thought that when he left, the four founders of the school said they were going to leave a mysterious treasure in the secret room to help the eligible Hogwarts heirs fight Voldemort.

If it wasn't an accident, the location of the treasure should be inside the statue.

He hastily picked up his wand and searched everywhere.

As the Snake Monster's lair, the Slytherin statue has more interior space than it looks outside, full of bones of some small animals and traces of the Snake Monster gliding friction.

After a search, Ivan found an unlocked dark door at the end of the space.

He opened the darkroom door and splashed a bit of dust.

As the dust gradually dissipated, Ivan found himself standing in front of a circular room.

This room is exactly the same as the one he visited a thousand years ago, and it's beautifully decorated, most notably with a statue of the four founders of the school on all four corners of the room.

Unlike that old dragon bell Slytherin statue out there, all four statues look like the four giants when they were younger: the insidiously sly Salazar Slytherin, the benevolent and gentle Helga Hetch Patch, the wise Royna Ravenclaw, and the ruggedly handsome Goldrick Griffindor.

Everyone is exactly the same as Evan, except Shaw.

In front of the four statues, there are four stone altars with circular grooves.

This should be what the Four Giants call the real secret chamber, whether it's what they leave behind or what the secret treasure is, and the test that must be passed.

Ivan took a step forward and saw different words written on the four walls of the room.

It's kind of like a song by the cap, Ivan watches one by one, on the wall of Gryffindor, it says in golden pigment: courageous Gryffindor from wild moor! He gives the most courageous people the highest reward! The key to open the treasure is the courage buried in your heart, you need your proud follower's recognition!

On that wall of Hufflepuff is black pigment: the benevolent Hufflepuff comes from a wide valley! She treats everyone equally, everyone has a chance to get her treasure! The key to open the treasure is integrity and loyalty, all you need is to trust in your most humble friend!

On that wall of Ravenclaw is the blue paint: beautiful Ravenclaw, from the tranquil river! The brightest of minds deserves a reward! The key to unlocking your treasure is an extraordinary intellect that you will inherit forever from your equally intelligent allies!

And finally, on the wall of Slytherin, it's written in silver paint: Smart Slytherin, from that mud pit! He only believed in the most pureblood wizards, mud bloods can't get anything from him! The key to unlocking this treasure is a mighty power, it is kept in the depths of the earth by his cunning servant!

Through the light of the wand, Evan looked through all the cues. The more he looked at them, the more speechless they were. These four guys were really funny. Since they left something behind, they took it out delightfully. Now the whole thing seems like a mystery.

He can't see any of these cues.

Ivan has no idea where the Four Giants will keep the key to unlock the secret treasure. What does all of the followers, friends, allies and servants mentioned above mean?

He had no choice but to write down all these words and discuss them with everyone when he was ready to go out and see if he could find any clues.

Wait till Evan remembers everything, and a terrible, lasting, ear-piercing scream will suddenly come out of the statue!

He remembered that Tom Riddle and Snake Monster were still out there and rushed out of the room.

Just under the hole, Ivan heard Harry shouting his name on it, and he responded hastily, and Fox fanned down his wings and took him up.

By the time he left, Harry had settled everything smoothly.

The scream I just heard was Tom Riddle making his final sound. Right in the middle of the Chamber of Secrets, the giant corpse of the Serpent Monster was powerless to lie there and its jaw was pierced by a Gryffindor sword hole. Not far from it is Tom Riddle's diary, which is penetrated by the snake monster's pointy tooth diameter, the venom burns through a hole in the diary, still sizzling black smoke and dripping ink outward.

“Evan, we won, I beat Tom Riddle, and I destroyed that diary like you said!” When Ivan was brought out by Fox, Harry hurried up and asked, “How are you, okay? I saw you hit by Tom Riddle's spell..."

“I'm fine, there's been an accident. I'm coming back to talk to you! ”

Ivan shook his head and saw Ron falling under the statue, hurrying, "Let's go check on Ron. ”

Ron was already sitting up when Ivan and Harry rushed over.

His blind eyes first fell on the body of the serpent monster, then on Harry in his bloody robe, and on Ivan, whose robe was equally shattered, and finally he saw the diary beside his feet.

He shook a shiver, sucked in a cold breath, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

“Evan, Harry, I did this to everyone. I shouldn't have trusted Tom Riddle. I would have told you I did it, but I was scared, Riddle told me that if I had done this, you would never have treated me like a friend! ”

“Yes, you are an asshole. If I hadn't been so tired right now, I'd have beaten you up, Ron!” Ivan said angrily, "You actually believe Voldemort's bullshit, not your friends. ”

“It's all my fault. I should have been fired!” Ron lost, "he said.“ Shortly after the first attack, I felt an anomaly, and I thought I could solve that diary, but the deeper I got. ”

“It's all over, Ron.” Harry comforted him and said, "We all believe in you. You're just under Riddle's control. You didn't do any of that. ”

“But...”

“For saving Ginny in the public lounge, I forgive you too!” Ivan followed and dragged Ron, "but you have to tell us the first time, not try to solve it on your own, when this happens again. ”
