Chapter 297 The Legend of the Secret Chamber

For several days in a row, the topic in the castle was surprisingly consistent. The students talked about Filch's attack all day long, not talking about anything else.

Filch was sent to the school hospital, and Mrs. Norris followed him and stayed beside him.

Some students thought that without this annoying pair, the days ahead would be much easier.

For example, they could chat loudly and play with each other in the corridors at will, without worrying about someone suddenly jumping out from the corner and screaming to put them in detention.

As a result, it was not the case at all, and they soon found that they thought too much.

The professors took over Filch's work and began to patrol the castle in turns. As long as they caught someone breaking the school rules, whether it was deducting points or being put in detention, nothing was spared.

And they were even more difficult to deal with. The tricks used to deal with Filch before were useless in front of the professors.

In just a few days, the score hourglasses of the four schools dropped significantly.

What's worse is that the original job of cleaning the castle now fell on those who broke the school rules... and they couldn't use magic.

A few days ago, Kyle saw Fred and George holding a bunch of tools, struggling to scrub the words on the wall on the third floor.

From their conversation, it can be heard that they actually miss Filch.

And the Chamber of Secrets is also a hot topic at the moment.

All the copies of "Hogwarts, A History of the School" in the library have been borrowed.

"They are just wasting their time."

In the hall, Cedric looked at the little wizards around him who were constantly turning the pages of the book, and said with certainty: "I remember very clearly that there is no news about the Chamber of Secrets in that book."

"Did you memorize such a thick book?" Mikel asked in disbelief.

"Of course not, how could that be possible." Cedric shook his head and said: "But I still have a general impression, I don't remember any records about the so-called Chamber of Secrets in it... I don't have any impression at all."

"Oh, I was thinking of borrowing it from Millicent after she finishes reading it." Mikel sighed, and it seems that he is also very interested in the Chamber of Secrets.

After breakfast, several people walked out of the castle and headed towards the third greenhouse.

Professor Sprout is a kind witch who always smiles. Her herbology class is also one of the most popular subjects in Hogwarts.

Today, they are going to learn how to take out the beans in the bubble pods.

This is much more difficult than expected. If the force is too small, it can't be taken out. If the force is too large, the beans will bloom immediately.

This strength is difficult to master.

"Don't be anxious. Increase the strength little by little. This requires a process. Also, don't touch the leaves and twigs, otherwise they will be angry."

Just as Professor Sprout reminded them how to operate, a little Hufflepuff wizard suddenly raised his hand.

"Miss Bird, do you have any questions?" Professor Sprout asked with a smile.

"Professor, can you tell us what the Chamber of Secrets is? And who is the heir."

Now everyone raised their heads.

Mikel was so excited that he almost pulled the bubble pod out of the pot.

The angry bubble pod sprayed a series of pink beans on Mikel's face, causing him to scream in pain.

Professor Sprout blinked.

"Miss Bird, you are not the first one to ask me this question." She whispered, "Recently, students have asked this question in every class."

Professor Sprout thought for a while, "How about this, if you can complete the task ahead of schedule in this class, then I can also tell you some rumors I know in the remaining time."

Now, everyone lowered their heads. Those who chatted stopped chatting, and those who fiddled with dragon manure fertilizer also put the bag aside and began to concentrate on fiddling with the bubble pod in front of them.

...

With ten minutes left before the end of get out of class, the last person finally completed the task.

"Oh, then all right." Professor Sprout looked at the large field of bean flowers in the greenhouse, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

Although the students' error rate was a bit high, at least everyone succeeded, and there was no deliberate failure.

So she decided to keep her promise, "Of course, this is just a legend, even a little ridiculous."

"Let me think... Chamber of Secrets... This story started a thousand years ago when Hogwarts was founded..."

In the next ten minutes, Professor Sprout told everyone in detail how Hogwarts was established.

And the growing conflicts between the four founders... Their respective standards for selecting students.

"... After a fierce quarrel, Salazar Slytherin left the school."

At this point, Professor Sprout paused.

"These are the records. It is also mentioned in Hogwarts, A History. You can take a look if you are interested."

"As for the Chamber of Secrets...it is a weird legend." She continued: "Some people say that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, and the other founders knew nothing about it.

As long as his successor can open the Chamber of Secrets, he can release the monster inside and let it purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

The bell rang, but there was silence in the greenhouse. No one wanted to leave. Everyone stared at Professor Sprout, hoping that she would continue.

"Okay, let's go back to the castle. That's all I know."

Professor Sprout opened the door of the greenhouse.

"But in my opinion, this legend is completely nonsense. Salazar Slytherin may be able to build the secret chamber in the castle without telling the other two founders, but he can never deceive Rowena Ravenclaw.

And most importantly...even when Slytherin was the most angry, he just wanted to drive those children out of the castle, not kill them."

At her urging, the students all left the greenhouse.

...

"I knew that the secret chamber must be related to Slytherin."

Ryan said to Kyle and Connor: "The second-year student named Malfoy was very proud at the time...and Flint too, I dare say they must have known about the secret chamber a long time ago."

"It's a pity that he didn't want to tell us." Mikkel was a little regretful, "If we can get into the Slytherin common room, we might be able to hear some secret news there."

"If you really think so..." Kyle said with a smile: "I have Slytherin's scarf here and decorations, dress up and cover your face, maybe you can get in. "

"You can try..." Mikkel thought seriously for a while, "but I don't know their passwords."

"This is easy." Kyle said casually: "It's pure blood, glory, eternity, power and so on, you just need to try a few more times.

Or you can follow others to get in, just after breakfast on weekends, when there are the most people, and you won't attract attention."

"That makes sense, I don't need to know the password at all." Mikkel's eyes lit up.

He touched his red and swollen face... that was hit by the bubble pod.

Originally, he was thinking about whether to find some swelling-reducing potion, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

He looks like he is now, even some Hufflepuffs can't recognize him, let alone Slytherins.

This opportunity is rare...
