Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 239: The amount of information is a bit large

Professor Smith came to him, apparently with other things.

After leaving the lobby, the two walked down the corridor to the Defence Against the Dark Arts office on the second floor. After entering, Professor Smith said directly: "Mr. Sierra Harris has asked me to forward the invitation to you, if you are free during the Christmas holidays."

Speaking, Professor Smith handed Albert a roll of parchment with a purple ribbon.

"Mr. Harrisis' invitation letter?" Albert took the parchment, glanced at the wax seal on it, frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't he mention this to me in the letter in advance? ."

"I suggest you open the invitation first and see what's written in it." Professor Smith suggested, "Maybe, Mr. Harrisis just wanted to give you an unexpected surprise. "

Actually, Professor Smith was also a little surprised. He knew Harris, and his alchemy skills were related to Harris, so when the other party asked him to help hand over the invitation, he was surprised, but Didn't ask too much.

"It seems that Mr. Harrisis is really optimistic about you, and I suggest you accept the invitation," suggested Professor Smith.

Albert opened the parchment and quickly glanced at the contents:

Albert:

I dare say that you will be surprised when you receive this invitation. January 13th is a special day, a rare opportunity, and I hope to invite you to...

Waiting for your owl.

You are faithful

Sierra Harris

January 13th...special day?

Albert's expression suddenly became a little weird. He handed the parchment to Professor Smith so that the other party could see the contents, "Do you know what Mr. Harrisis is referring to the special day? ?"

"A party!" Professor Smith explained mysteriously: "I have attended several times. As for the specific party, you will know when you go."

"Isn't it a birthday party?" Albert asked tentatively. Although he thought the possibility was very low, he couldn't help but ask.

"The birthday party, of course not." Professor Smith was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "You will naturally know when you go."

"Okay, it's an alchemy-related party. Such an opportunity is rare. I suggest you not to refuse." Professor Smith suddenly asked. "By the way, are you going home for the Christmas holidays?"

"Well, I'm going back to spend the holidays with my family," Albert said.

"Then you'd better get in touch with Mr. Harris and see how you will get there. If you can't, book a Knight Bus." Professor Smith thought about it and gave Albert some advice.

"Are you going too?" Albert asked tentatively.

"No, I haven't received an invitation for several years." Smith shook his head. "Also, I seldom focus on this. Logically speaking, it should not be possible at your current age. Invited. Of course, there are exceptions."

"Thank you, I see, I will contact Mr. Harrisis." Albert thanked Smith again, shoved the invitation into the pocket of his robe, and prepared to go back to the Wizarding Card Club activity.

However, at this moment, Professor Smith stopped him again.

"I'm sorry to disturb your club meeting, but I have other things to tell you." Professor Smith greeted Albert to sit down, "What would you like to drink, milk tea?"

"Milk tea." Albert nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

Professor Smith waved his wand, and two cups of hot milk tea appeared out of nowhere, one of which floated in front of Albert.

"Have you heard of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Professor Smith asked after taking a sip from his teacup.

"The legend of Slytherin's secret room?" Albert couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Of course, he knew about the legend of Slytherin's secret room, the entrance and opening method of the secret room, and even more that there was a basilisk hidden in the secret room. Years later, it would mess up Hogwarts, and was eventually killed by Harry Potter with the Sword of Gryffindor.

"It is said that Salazar Slytherin built a subterranean structure at Hogwarts that only he and those with his permission could enter."

"But...that's just a legend, isn't it?" Albert asked rhetorically: "The principals of Hogwarts must have investigated this matter, unless they deliberately concealed it, otherwise..."

"No, they can't find the entrance, and even if they do, they won't be able to enter, so they can't prove the existence of the Chamber of Secrets." Professor Smith shook his head and explained: "However, about fifty years ago, the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin was once It was opened once, and a student died because of it. According to legend, there was a terrifying monster in the Chamber of Secrets that existed to purge the school of those Muggle-born students. You know, Salazar Slater Lin hates Muggle-born students."

"Why are you telling me these things?" Albert looked at Professor Smith in confusion, wondering why he was telling him this.

Professor Smith did not answer, but said to himself: "However, there is another, lesser-known version of Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, that Salazar Slytherin was in He secretly researched and tested black magic in the secret room, and kept all the black magic he mastered in the secret room."

"You want the black magic in the secret room?" Albert's expression became even more bizarre. As far as he knew, there seemed to be nothing else in the secret room except the basilisk. Could it be true?

"No, I'm just telling you the legend about the Chamber of Secrets." Professor Smith shook his head, "I didn't even want to look for Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets."

"Why did you tell me?" Albert asked tentatively, recalling Ravenclaw's treasure trove of knowledge, "Do you think that Slytherin is not the only one in the Big Four who left a secret room at Hogwarts? "

"Yes~IndoMTL.com~ Professor Smith grinned, "Remember those ancient runes I showed you last time? "

"Hmm. I remember."

"It was an ancient rune found in the back room left by Ravenclaw." Professor Smith continued, "I accept Dumbledore's invitation to return to teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School, mainly The reason is for this."

Albert stared into Smith's eyes, feeling he was lying or not telling the truth.

"Why are you telling me these things?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"Because I can't open the entrance to the secret room." Professor Smith sighed helplessly, "When the Big Four designed their own secret rooms, they would use various methods to protect the secret rooms, and it would not be easy for people to do so. only those who are allowed to enter."

"Professor Broad returned to Hogwarts to teach last year for this reason?" Albert asked, pretending to be surprised.

"Well, I think so, but Mr. Broad apparently didn't find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." Professor Smith spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

"You told me you wanted me to help you find a way in?"

"Yes." Professor Smith nodded.

"Although I'm a little flattered when you say that, but... I'm only a second-year student." Albert hesitated, then continued: "Have you found Isobel?"

"Isobel, she knows about this, her father and I are good friends!" Professor Smith continued with a trace of nostalgia on his face, "However, she is obviously not as good at ancient runes as you are, and, She suggested that I ask you for help, although you are not a Ravenclaw student, but knowledge and wisdom are not divided between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor."
