Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 58: The rumors are gradually rising

　　 "He must have done it!" Filch screamed, turning his face to Harry.

　　 "It's impossible for a second-year student to do this," Dumbledore said firmly. "It requires a very deep black magic."

　　 But Filch didn't seem to agree, he still insisted that it was a good thing Harry had done.

　　, Snape added fuel to the fire and generally questioned Harry's whereabouts, trying to get him out of the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

　　 For a while, the scene was a bit chaotic.

　　 "As long as they are not proven guilty, they are innocent, Severus." Dumbledore was clearly still as firm as ever.

　　 Snape looked very angry. Naturally, Filch is the same.

　　 "My cat is petrified!" He screamed, his eyes protruding, "I want to see someone get some punishment!"

　　 "We can cure it, Filch." Dumbledore said patiently, "Mrs. Sprout recently got some mandela grass. Once they grow up, I have a medicine. Brings Mrs. Loris back to life."

　　 "I'll make it," Lockhart interrupted, "I must have made it a hundred times. I can make a mandela resurrection potion while dreaming--"

　　 "I see, give it to McGlynn Dobby—" Snape squinted, only half of his words, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear what he meant.

　　 In the end, Dumbledore told Harry and the others to go back first.

　　 Harry and the three naturally want to leave sooner. They tried to speed up their pace and almost ran.

　　When they came upstairs in Lockhart's office, they got into an empty classroom and closed the door gently. Harry narrowed his eyes and looked at the faces of two friends in the dark.

　　 "You said, should I tell them the voice I heard?" He hesitated.

　　Hermione is still thinking about what the "Secret Chamber" is, and Ron is standing aside in a daze. For a time, no one answered his meaning.

　　 For several days in a row, the students talked about the attack on Mrs. Loris all day without discussing anything else-Filch’s performance made it impossible for everyone to forget it all the time.

　　He often walked around the place where Mrs. Loris was killed, seeming to think that the attacker would come again. Harry saw that he was scrubbing the text on the wall with "Mrs. Skor brand universal magic stain remover", but it seemed to be a waste of effort. The text still flashed so brightly on the stone wall.

　　 And if Filch was not patrolling the crime scene, he would have been hiding in the corridor with two red eyes, and then suddenly rushed to the unsuspecting students, doing everything possible to find excuses to put them in confinement, such as Saying that they are "gasp too loud", or "smiley faces" or something like that.

　　 As for Ginny, she seems to be very upset about what happened to Mrs. Loris. According to Ron, she has always liked cats very much.

　　 Ron would comfort his baby sister from time to time, but occasionally stared at the air in a daze.

　　 Originally judging from his friendship with Harry, Harry must have noticed his current state. But recently Harry was worrying about other things too!

　　 Apart from anything else, it would be enough for him to have a headache just because someone saw him and wanted to run away.

　　 One day, Hermione walked out of the bookshelves. She looked very annoyed, but was finally willing to talk to them, probably because Maca hadn't been in the library these days.

　　 "Several copies of "Hogwarts, A School History" have been borrowed," she said, and sat down beside Harry and Ron. "The people who registered for borrowing have been queued for two weeks. Oh. Oh, I wish I didn’t leave my book at home, but Lockhart’s so many thick books are in the box and I can’t fit it anymore."

　　 "Why do you want to see it?" Harry asked suspiciously.

　　 "The same reason people want to see it," Hermione said, "check the legend about the secret room."

　　 "What is the secret room?" Harry asked immediately.

　　 "That's the problem, I can't remember it," Hermione bit her lip, glanced at the back corner of the library seemingly, and said quietly, "And I can't find this story elsewhere— —"

　　 "Hermione, let me see your composition." Ron looked at his watch and said anxiously.

　　 "No!" Hermione glared at Ron suddenly.

　　 Ron saw that she seemed to be in a bad mood again, so he narrowed his mouth, but his gaze also glanced at the corner.

　　 has almost become a special seat for Maca, but since the petrochemical incident, he has never been seen again.

　　 After a while, the class bell rang.

　　Ron and Hermione were silent all the way, and walked towards the magic history class. Halfway through, Harry looked at the two of them hesitantly several times-he finally realized that something was wrong.

　　 "I said, why don't you ask Maca? It seems that I haven't chatted with him for a while." Harry thought this idea should be a good idea. After all, Maca has a very good idea in the trio. status.

　　 "No!" "No!"

　　 Harry didn't expect that for the first time, Hermione and Ron rejected the bad idea in unison.

　　 "Um...what's the matter?" Harry couldn't help but be puzzled.

　　 "It's okay." "No, nothing..."

　　 Hermione and Ron glanced at each other. Although they didn't know what the other was thinking, they were undoubtedly related to Maca.

　　 Finally, the three of them came to the magic history class in silence.

　　The course in the history of magic is still as boring as usual.

　　 Professor Bins, the only ghost teacher at Hogwarts, walked across the blackboard to the podium. He opened the notes and read in a dry, low, monotonous voice. The constant buzzing sound was like An old vacuum cleaner.

　　The whole class is dizzy, and occasionally recovers, writes down a name or date, and then falls into a semi-sleep state again.

　　 But when he said it for half an hour, something that had never happened before in class—Hermione raised her hand.

　　 Professor Bins suddenly raised his head, looking very surprised.

　　 "You are—"

　　 "I'm Granger, Professor. I wonder if you can tell us what's going on in the secret room." Hermione said in a clear voice.

　　 The term "secret room" is obviously a hot topic recently, and most students feel a little scared about it. Hermione suddenly brought up this topic in class, as if pouring cold water on all the drowsy classmates, and everyone sat up straight.

　　 Professor Bins blinked when he heard the words.

　　 "My class is the history of magic," he said in his dry, breathless voice, "I study facts, Miss Granger, not myths and legends."

　　 He cleared his throat, lowered his head again, and said buzzingly: "Just in October of that year, a special group of magicians from the island of Seding——"

　　 But Hermione raised her hand again.

　　"I want to ask, sir, legends are based on facts, don’t they?"

　　 In desperation, Professor Bins had to speak slowly.

　　 "Well... yeah, I think you can say that." He looked at Hermione vigorously, as if he had never looked at a student before.

　　 "But, the legend you told is a very sensational, even funny story..."

　　 In fact, Hogwarts was founded about a thousand years ago, and its founders were the four greatest wizards and wizards at the time. The four colleges are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin.

　　 In the first few years, several founders worked harmoniously together, looking for young people who showed signs of magic, and brought them to the castle to train them.

　　 However, over time, they gradually diverged.

　　The rift between Slytherin and the others grew wider. He believes that Hogwarts should be more critical when recruiting students, and magic education should only be limited to pure magic families.

　　 He is unwilling to accept Muggle children, thinking they are unreliable.

　　 After some days, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a heated argument over this issue, and then Slytherin left the school.

　　 "Reliable historical information tells us this," Professor Bins pursed his lips, looking like a wrinkled old tortoise-still translucent.

　　 "...but ~IndoMTL.com~ these pure facts are obscured by the weird legend about the secret room." He said, "The story says that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, and the others founded The person knows nothing about it."

　　"According to the legend, Slytherin closed the secret room so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only that heir could open the secret room to release the horror inside and let It purifies the school and eliminates all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

The story of 　　 is over here. The whole class was silent, everyone stared at Professor Bins, hoping that he could continue speaking.

　　 can be used as a historian of magic obsessed with "facts." Such myths and legends are obviously meaningless to him.

　　 No matter how the students urged him, he just didn’t want to continue telling stories that he didn’t even believe.

　　 soon, get out of class is over.

　　 The three of them were squeezed to one side by the crowd. At this time, Harry's admirer, Colin Crevy, passed by them and greeted Harry excitedly.

　　 "Hello, Colin." Harry answered casually.

　　 "Harry... Harry, a boy in our class has been saying that you are—" However, Colin was too small to stop the crowds that pushed him into the auditorium.

　　 They only heard him scream "Goodbye, Harry!" and they were completely swept away by the crowd.

　　 "What did the boy in his class say about you?" Hermione asked puzzledly. "I think, maybe I'm the heir of Slytherin." Harry said, his heart sinking a little because he suddenly remembered the way Justin Finley ran away from him at lunch. .

　　 Ron looked at Harry with a hesitant expression.
