My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 97 Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

"Isn't Slytherin a great wizard? How could his secret treasure be hidden in such a place."

Tom raised his head and looked around at the scene, which was the ordinary women's bathroom. He couldn't help frowning and cursed.

"What are you doing? Why put such an important thing in the women's toilet?"

Tom took off his school uniform robe cursingly, wrapped it up and hid it in the cabinet under the sink next to him, then knitted his trousers up twice, and moved his limbs in place.

"Fluorescent flashes." He raised his wand and looked at the pipe under his feet along the faint light at the tip of the wand. The pipe was very spacious. It could be seen that the purpose of building it was not for drainage. The pungent musty smell reminded Tom of where Nagini used to live.

"I don't know how she is now?" Tom shrugged, took a deep jump, and jumped into the dark hole. "I don't know where Gnar is now?"

The inside of the pipe was dark and dirty, and it had not been cleaned for a long time. Moss grew on the dead body of the mold, and the mold parasitized the moss, making the whole pipe slippery and the unpleasant smell even more pungent.

Tom wanted to end the disgusting journey as soon as possible, but the pipe seemed to never end, and he looked around at the other pipes that branched out from the huge pipe, separated from the main pipe by a rusted iron grille. , but most of the nets were brittle enough to shatter, and Tom took a breath of disgust and ignored the branches. He didn't want to die here from tetanus at an early age.

Twist, spin, and slide steeply.

Tom didn't know how long he had slipped in the pipe, but he knew that the depth was far deeper than the deepest dungeon in Hogwarts. He could hear his own breathing echoing in the pipe, and it was silent here. There is not a single voice that belongs here.

Following the light of the wand, he soon discovered that the wand seemed to illuminate something not far below, and it seemed that it had reached the end.

"Fly fast."

Tom's wrist slammed upwards and tapped forward again, immediately stopping the momentum of falling, and fell to the ground as lightly as a feather, after adapting to the gravity for a while, he stomped his feet, moving his joints, and his movements were smooth. And elegant.

"Ah...that's disgusting." He turned around and saw some sticky stuff on the wall of the pipe on the back of his butt. He quickly took his wand and cleaned it up. Then he raised the firefly and carefully looked at the surroundings. surroundings.

"I should be far away from school now," Tom said to himself, thinking about the direction of his whereabouts, and noticing the water pipes crisscrossing his head like blood vessels and the surrounding walls covered with moss due to dampness, he said to himself, "This should be The outlet of the school's drainage system, so I think I should be under the black lake. There are many magical things living in the black lake. It is reasonable that they have not been discovered for so many years... But opening the door in a Parseltonian is not a decent thing. The way a wizard does."

"What am I thinking? Gnar said that a person can't be judged by a certain trait." Tom laughed to himself, "Is he gone, I'm going to reveal my true self? That must be laughed at by him. die?"

Tom held his wand high, and the light from the fluorescent spell couldn't even illuminate the darkness in front of him, making the darkness even more hazy. This underground secret room was too big. Tom walked on the wet ground and had to wait. It took a while to hear the light echoes of his own footsteps.

"I feel that I really have a relationship with the sewer, and I can always find some strange things in the sewer." There was nothing in the secret room, it looked like a real sewer, Tom felt a little cold, so he kept saying to himself These words were used to expel the biting clammy cold, "But fortunately, this place is accessible from front to back, not a labyrinth."

Tom walked through a bend in the underground pipe, and all of a sudden, the sound in the pipe became louder, the sound of water, the sound of mice or other small animals, and Tom's own violent heartbeat.

He raised his head and stared at the behemoth that traversed the field of vision in front of him. The thing had a huge and undulating curve like a mountain range.

Its surface reflected a faint green cold light under the illumination of Tom's Fluorescent Charm, and that bright green made him feel kindly:
This is a huge snake skin, at least [-] feet long. The bright green color will make people who see it feel uncomfortable and even scared for the first time. The empty snake skin is curled up in the middle of the sewer, Tom noticed , some green mucus is flowing in the gap drilled by the giant snake, emitting fluorescence in the dark.

"Isn't it." Tom jumped back like a trampled rabbit, and said with lingering fears, "This thing won't have radiation, right?"

Tom remembered what Nelson had threatened him with when he wanted to go to London to experience the legendary "radium bath" that cures all diseases: "Everything that emits its own light emits radiation."

Although Tom still didn't quite understand what radiation was, it didn't prevent him from using the Levitation Charm to throw the snakeskin into the distant branch of the pipe, and then quickly pass through it.

"Hope people are all right." Tom kept walking forward, and even turned his wand in boredom. "Even if people are all right, now the knees are all right."

Tom found the echoes of his footsteps getting louder and louder. He knew that he was nearing the end of the passage, and he hoped desperately that there would be something meaningful at the end of the pipe.

Finally, when he rounded another bend, a solid stone wall stood in front of him, and the wall was carved with two giant snakes entwined with each other. The eyes of the giant snakes were inlaid with a few pure and gleaming giant greens. gem.

In Tom's eyes, these giant stone snakes were no different from real snakes. They were clinging to the wall and looking at the prey below, and the realistic snake eyes flashed a dangerous green light.

"If there's nothing in there, these emeralds are mine." Tom distributed the wealth on the Slytherin gate without any awe, suddenly put away his playful expression, stared at the stone wall seriously, and used Parselrothe The cavity made a low voice:

"Turn on."

The entire secret room began to vibrate violently. This Parseltongue seemed to awaken the soul that had been sleeping in this historic site for thousands of years. Tom heard the sound of machine roaring in his ears, and the top of his head began to shake down continuously. After a while, the secret room was completely awake, the rusty crunch was silent, a huge crystal lamp hung down from the top of Tom's head, and the candle made of dragon fat, which was difficult to burn out for thousands of years, was burning brightly, and the fire was cutting. The exquisite crystal refracts the secret room with a mysterious brilliance.

"Very good, you are very beautiful." Tom raised his head and looked at the precious crystal lamp above his head, "but when I come back, you will be mine."

As soon as the words fell, the two giant snakes entangled in front of them slid away from each other. As the magic mechanism on the wall turned, the one on the left raised its head and looked down at Tom, while the other leaned down and coldly from below. Watching him - as the two snakes separated, the tall wall split from the center, and the two half-walls cut smoothly from the middle, disappearing without a trace.

Tom looked up and saw a larger, darker, more mysterious stone room in front of him.

"To make things mysterious."

He smiled disdainfully, reached out and pulled out a silver pendant inlaid with emeralds from his sweater. The black opal at the bottom looked exceptionally bright in such a dim environment, and the runes engraved on the chain shone with warmth. The light, Tom twisted his neck, shook his wand, and walked in carelessly.

Different from the outside, the inside of this stone room, which needs to be opened to enter, is dry and warm. I don’t know what kind of magic and design can make the environment here remain comfortable after a thousand years. There are dozens of thick and tall stone pillars standing in a row. Lined up to support the dome of the secret room, more stone-carved giant pythons squatted on these pillars and grew savagely.

"Although I also like snakes, I still have to say," Tom walked straight to the deepest part of the secret room, until he passed the last pair of stone pillars, and a sculpture of the same height as the secret room jumped into his sight, " What a bad aesthetic."

He looked at the huge face of the sculpture: he looked very old, with a sharp beak, like a monkey, with a sparse but long goatee that fell straight down to the robes, and two grey legs stood on On the smooth floor of the stone room, he lowered his head slightly and looked down at the small latecomer standing at his feet.

"You're just a stone statue." Tom raised his head to look at the stone statue without fear, and said his name softly, "Salazar Slytherin."

Tom pulled a tattered book out of his pocket, one of two "Principles of Magic" handed over to Nelson by the owner of the Lisbon Bookstore in first grade as a temporary out-of-stock replacement. The corners around the main text do not record any profound spells or powerful black magic, but record the autobiography of a little-known adventurer who graduated from Hogwarts many years ago. These stories seem to be It was written by him when he faced death while on a dangerous adventure. At that time, he didn't know why he only had a textbook left by his deceased wife, and this book was wandering into the second-hand book pile of Lihen Bookstore. , until it was handed over to Nelson many years later.

"Searching for treasure is a difficult but enjoyable job. It not only requires the explorer to have strong magic and skills, but also has historical knowledge that is no less than pedantic, because the whereabouts of many secret treasures are often hidden in people who don't know. The hidden corner." Tom slowly opened the book to the position he marked, and read this long paragraph, "Of course, the most important thing is luck..."

"...Salazar Slytherin was one of the founders of Hogwarts, and there are many opinions as to why he left Hogwarts, but his contribution to the school is undeniable. He created the teaching system of Defense Against the Dark Arts that is still in use today, and even the castle of Hogwarts belonged to him in the early days, which makes people have to think whether he will be buried in this ancient castle that belongs to him. Some purposeful foreshadowing..."

"...when I was a student at Hogwarts, there was a rumor in the school about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, it is said that before leaving Hogwarts, he left a room in the castle that only his heirs could open. In the future, he hopes to help his heir to clean up the non-pure-blood wizards in the school - this is of course nonsense, although Slytherin is pure-blood, but 'who is the first pure-blood wizard in the world? ?' was also uttered by himself, and I'm more inclined to leave Hogwarts for another reason, but he should have left something on campus..."

"...During the seven years of studying at Hogwarts, I have explored almost every corner of the castle, and in fact, I have found some interesting little things, such as the magical room in the corridor on the eighth floor, Like the room behind the knocker of the Ravenclaw tower, or the ubiquitous, but nowhere to be found, bas-relief snakes in the castle—it wasn’t until I learned the manifest spell in seventh grade that I understood the school’s legend about the secret room. It's not groundless, every embossed snake needs to be triggered by language and may trigger different organs, but I can't guess the code, but I have some guesses based on Slytherin's personality and preferences, here they and these The location of the relief is recorded, I hope someone will see it later..."

"You're right." Tom took a step forward, facing the huge sculpture of Slytherin, with a gleam of red in his eyes, he turned the page, and sang softly in Parseltongue what the unknown senior said. Guess all the "spells" to come:

"Slytherin, the great legendary mage!"

"Master of Hogwarts, the great Salazar Slytherin, your heir has come to pay homage!"

……

"Open your eyes, Slytherin, the sovereign of Hogwarts!"

Tom didn't know how many beautiful compliments he had read, and even he felt that he was too greasy, but he still endured the discomfort and felt grateful. I have to say that the old senior's guess about Slytherin was correct. He really is a person who "focuses on honor" and likes to be praised.

With a sour clatter, the eyes of the Slytherin statue slowly looked straight ahead. When the pupil was in the middle of the eye, it began to rotate and emit a faint green light, covering the entire secret room. Among them, light up.

Tom turned around and noticed that the dome, which had been dark and invisible, was also clear. Slytherin's eyes were like the switch of the light source in the entire secret room. Only then did he realize that the structure of the secret room was exactly the same as the auditorium hall of Hogwarts Castle. And the dome above his head also has the same function as the auditorium hall. The huge squid swims among the thick aquatic plants, the bright fish swarms through it, and the stars shine through the black lake with pure water. It turned into a little starlight and fell on the stone pillars in the secret room, and the giant snakes on them also came to life, forming letters - each pillar represented a word.

Tom looked at the stone pillars, his pale face instantly flushed red, and his body trembled violently. He saw that the words on each pillar represented a type of magic, and he only needed to face the little snake at the bottom of the pillar. Say that word in Parseltongue, and Slytherin magic is at your fingertips...

"Oh, my God..." Tom glanced at the seductive stone pillars, murmured to the one that was a little further away from him, and hissed softly from his throat, "Transformation."

The starlight scattered by the dome began to turn violently, making people dizzy, and finally, on the blank wall on the side of the secret room, words written in starlight appeared one by one, and the font was cold and smooth, like a snake.

"How about magic, but it's too cool." Tom raised his head and saw that the stars in the black lake had dimmed. He realized that it was very late, and resisted the desire to stay here to study. He turned away without looking back.

Just as he stepped out of the secret room, the sculpture of Slytherin lowered his eyes, the door of the secret room slammed shut behind him, shaking off the dust, Tom turned around and looked at the two giant snakes on the wall that had been restored to its original state. The sparkling green eyes made the stone snake tremble with fright.

"Not really," Tom whistled excitedly, and couldn't wait to go back and write a letter to tell Nelson the good news. In order to speed up, he raised his wand, and the whole person slowly floated into the air, with black smoke stirring from his lower body, Fly quickly in the direction you came from.

"This magic works really well." Tom got out of the hole and found the school uniform robe he had hidden before and put it on his body, and the sink slowly returned to its original shape behind him. "The needle doesn't poke, it can be used to fly in the future."

He raised his legs and was about to leave, when he heard a cry of "boom blah blah" from the bathroom next door. Tom couldn't help but glanced sideways, but he was facing red eyes under Myrtle glasses.

Myrtle raised her head and glanced timidly at the sign above her head, it was the women's bathroom.

Tom's head was half a circle bigger. In line with the principle of preemptive strike, he frowned and said, "Myrtle, why are you here?"

　Because this chapter is a complete story, it is not easy to divide it into chapters. (Actually, there are several good places for breaking chapters, but because they are posted together, they are broken and they are not broken.) I simply have another chapter.
