Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 648: Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets

The crowd bypassed the snakeskin and continued to advance deep into the tunnel.

It took several turns ahead and finally came to the end of the tunnel. It was a solid wall inscribed with two intertwined snakes.

Albert stepped forward, looked at the emerald in the snake's eyes, and muttered softly, "It's actually an emerald, so rich."

Although it is only a preliminary polished product, such a gem is also very valuable.

"Very valuable?" Someone asked.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the owner of the voice. Ron, who was a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, shrank back, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

"It's still valuable, but it can't be taken away, otherwise this door won't open." Albert stepped back and gave Harry his seat.

"Open."

Harry looked into the snake's eyes, cleared his throat, and said in a low, hoarse hiss.

As soon as the words fell, the two snakes separated on the wall, the stone wall cracked from the middle, and slowly slipped to the sides and disappeared.

"It's a good technique."

Albert felt that if he had the opportunity, it would be best to master this technique, which would definitely come in handy in the future. He never disliked the skills he had mastered.

"Go in!"

Harry took the lead and walked into the secret room, and everyone immediately followed.

After entering the Chamber of Secrets, they found themselves on the side of a long, dimly lit room.

There are many stone pillars engraved with coiled and entangled snakes. The towering stone pillars disappear into the darkness at a high place, casting dark shadows on the room filled with greenery and mystery.

Albert waved his wand lightly, and several **** of light flew out from the tip of the wand, hovering above the heads of everyone, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

After the darkness disappeared, the outline of the secret room was revealed, and everyone's eyes were quickly drawn to the basilisk corpse not far away.

"You've spoiled the atmosphere of the adventure," muttered Fred, and began to survey the Slytherin-style chamber.

"In order to raise a basilisk, someone would really come up with a place like this" Hermione was shocked by Slytherin's generosity, and the size of the place was no less than that of the school hall.

"I always thought Slytherin had a monkey face." Lee Jordan whispered, taking a picture of the statue in front of him.

At the end of the stone pillar, there is a statue as high as the room itself, that is the face of Slytherin, a long sparse beard, almost all the way to the hem of the stone wizard's robe,

As Lee Jordan said, the old Slytherin had a monkey face.

The corners of Albert's mouth rose slightly, restraining himself from laughing, and both Fred and George next to him couldn't help laughing, completely ignoring that the object of their ridicule was Slytherin.

"However, this basilisk is really big." Ron swallowed and said with emotion, "Harry, you are amazing."

"No, I was able to kill it, it was more of luck." Harry's heart lingered as he recalled the battle.

It's really luck to be able to kill the basilisk.

"The eyes should have been blinded by Fox!" Albert glanced at the basilisk's cracked eyes, his eyes fell on the fangs that fell on the ground, and he took out dragon leather gloves from his pocket and put them on himself. Only then did he bend over to pick up from the ground the fangs Harry used to pierce Riddle's diary.

"Is this thing worth a lot?" Ron's voice sounded again.

"It should be very valuable!" Albert put the basilisk's fangs into the wooden box, put it away again, and said to Ron, who was about to pull the teeth out of the basilisk's mouth, "However, you have to be careful, Basilisk teeth are highly poisonous, if poisoned..."

"It takes phoenix tears to detoxify!" Harry said first.

"Phoenix's tears are very precious. Ninety-nine percent of poisoned will kill you." Albert ignored Ron and began to look at the secret room. His eyes fell on the statue of Slytherin, and he took a few steps forward. , walked to the mouth of the statue, raised his hand and tapped it lightly, turned his head and said to Harry: "There should be a secret room here, open it!"

"Open!"

Harry opened his mouth and hissed, but failed this time.

Failed

Harry is surprised.

"The password is incorrect." Albert was considering whether to blow up the entrance.

"I remember Voldemort saying something and the basilisk came out of Slytherin's mouth," Harry recalled.

"What did Tom say?" Albert demanded.

"It was... an emergency, I forgot," Harry stammered. He did forget, at the juncture of life and death, who would remember these things.

"If you had heard at the time, I could use some special methods to find a way to open the Chamber of Secrets." Albert said to Harry: "Of course, the way you may not like it."

"How?" Harry asked.

"Legiligument, what happened in the last two days will soon be found out." Albert looked into Harry's eyes, raised his wand, and said without waiting for Harry to answer, "Then I'll start : Legilimency!"

Harry didn't have time to resist, and the surroundings swayed and disappeared before his eyes.

A few days ago, the image of himself confronting Voldemort came to his mind, and his vision returned to normal when he heard the password that Tom had used.

Harry remains stunned.

"What's the password?" Albert asked.

Most people were confused and didn't understand what happened in the few seconds just now.

"What did you do?" Hermione couldn't help asking.

" Legilimency, you can read the memories in other people's minds." Albert explained casually, "Because it happened in the past few days, it can be found soon."

"Flip through the memories," Hermione repeated.

"You can think of it as mind reading." Albert said without hesitation.

"I hate that feeling!" Harry muttered.

"No one likes it." Albert urged, "Turn it on!"

"Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Big Four at Hogwarts."

Slytherin's massive stone face moved, its mouth opened and widened, forming a massive black hole.

Albert thinks he might guess where the inspiration for the Dark Mark came from. He waved his wand and let the ball of light fly into the cave first, illuminating it.

"I don't know how Slytherin could have such a weird idea." Ron looked at the door opened by his mouth and quickly followed the team into the passage.

Behind the stone sculpture is an open space, which is not too big, probably excavated for the Basilisk to perch and hibernate.

"What are you looking for?"

Hermione looked at Albert who was looking around and couldn't help asking.

"Looking for the real secret of Slytherin." Albert motioned everyone to leave here first, he made sure that there were no other secret doors around.

In fact, Albert doesn't think Slytherin will hide the secret door here, and if he comes out and hits the eyes of the basilisk, he will kill himself first.

"The real Chamber of Secrets, you mean this is not Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?" Harry was intrigued by what Albert said.

"Probably—there's nothing here."

Both Fred and George thought they had guessed the reason, and like Hermione said, no one would go out of their way to make a place like this to keep snakes.

"In the beginning, I'm afraid this place was also used for refuge." Albert expressed his analysis.

"Refuge?"

"At the time, Muggles didn't have a good relationship with wizards." After coming out of Slytherin's mouth, Albert began to look around again, looking for traces of magic.

"There's a secret room here"

Albert turned his attention to the solid wall again, stared intently at the wall for a moment, and said softly, "Yes, found it."

"How do you know there's a secret room here?"

Everyone looked at the stone wall on the side of the statue, but couldn't see anything.

"Magic always leaves traces, as long as you look carefully, it's not difficult to find." Albert pointed to a place on the wall~IndoMTL.com~ turned his head and said to the people behind him: "I Need blood."

"Blood?"

"Yes, a little blood is enough. It must be the blood of a pure-blooded wizard when you apply it here!" Albert pointed to a smoother stone and pointed to the three Wei Wei behind him. Sly said: "Anyone of you, just a little bit."

The three hesitated for a while, and finally decided to let George be the bloodletter. He took the silver needle that Albert handed over, pricked it between his index fingers, and then smeared the blood on the spot designated by Albert. .

The outline of the dazzlingly white arch appeared on the wall of the cave, and the blood-splattered rock in the arch suddenly disappeared, revealing a doorway.

"Wow, that's okay!"

The crowd felt incredible.

"Why do you need pure blood?" Harry couldn't help asking.

"Slytherin is a pure-blood." Albert walked in first, and inside the doorway was an upward stone staircase.

"Where does this lead to?" Hermione's voice was trembling, probably too excited. The adventure was beyond her imagination.

"We'll find out soon!"

Speaking, they walked through the stairs and into a room.

Only, it seems a bit more than they imagined, surrounded by a lot of decayed bookshelves and parchment, and the marble walls are densely carved with text.

"This is..."

"Probably Slytherin's magical research!"

Previously, Albert thought that Slytherin kept the knowledge on the basilisk, but after thinking about it, he denied the possibility, "This is the real Slytherin's secret room."
