Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 93 The Real Slytherin Chamber of Secrets

As soon as the hiss passed, the door seemed to be flipped on some kind of switch.

The tentacles above the door took the initiative to get stuck in those empty spaces.

After going back and forth like this a few times, the switch of the door stopped, and the whole door was still closed, which made Harry and Hermione puzzled.

There is a feeling that they have clearly reached the last step, but found that they have gone the wrong way.

Just when the two of them were in a daze, the door moved again.

This time, it wasn't the mechanism above the door that moved.

This time, it was the whole door that started to change.

There was a clang, and it seemed that with the passage of time, the huge stone door raised a burst of dust when it opened.

"Cough cough!"

The two people who were very close to the gate broke out coughing.

After the dust cleared, Harry and Hermione set their eyes on the open door.

It was pitch black inside the door, and nothing could be seen.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and the two didn't hesitate much. At first, Harry thought of going in and taking a look, and leaving here immediately if there was any danger.

Therefore, after turning around again, Hermione took her wand and manipulated the ball of light formed by the illuminating spell to float forward one step ahead of them.

If something went wrong, for example, there was a monster squatting inside the door, then the first one to be attacked would only be the light ball that attracted attention, not the two of them following behind the light ball.

After walking through the gate and experiencing this layer of darkness, the eyes of the two of them suddenly brightened, and the scenery that they couldn't see clearly before became clearly visible at this moment.

In front of them is a very huge and very wide hall, and there are some huge passages next to it. The inside of those passages is pitch black, just like when they came in just now.

In a daze, Harry turned to take a look.

Unsurprisingly, behind them is also a very huge passageway, one step inside is full of darkness, and one step outside is brighter.

Hermione also turned back with Harry, and then a strange sound came from the empty hall, and the two of them naturally noticed this unusual scene.

She leaned close to Harry, put her arm around Harry's left hand, and pointed her wand faintly at the empty hall in front of her instead of the dark passage behind her.

Harry nervously looked ahead of himself and the others.

Apart from the dark entrances, there were two rows of wet stone pillars on either side of the dimly lit chamber.

Stone pillars carved with coiled serpents supported the ceiling hidden in the darkness high above.The entire room is filled with a green and mysterious cloud.

Eerie, scary, weird.

I don't know how long it has been since no one came in here, and the whole secret room gave others a cold feeling.

At the end of the chamber, at the end of the two rows of stone pillars, was a full-length statue of Salazar Slytherin, as tall as the room itself, clinging to the darkened wall behind.

It opened its mouth, revealing the monstrous mouth, and it was pitch black inside.

But the sound just now obviously came from there.

The anxiety in Hermione's heart seemed to materialize at this moment.

She began to try to remember what had happened before, the features of Filch's cat and Myrtle who had been attacked, the similarities and differences between them.

She didn't know why she was thinking this way at this moment, it was like a flash of inspiration, only in this way could she weaken the uneasiness in her heart a little, so that the uneasiness would not keep haunting her.

Can't figure it out, can't figure it out!
Harry's eyes were fixed on the open mouth of the huge Slytherin statue.

The feeling from the soul was telling him what a terrifying monster was hidden in the mouth on the statue.

Some memory fragments flashed through his mind, and what was brought about was a huge pain brought to him by his lightning-like scar.

"what……"

He bent down and touched his forehead with one hand.

"Harry, what's the matter with you? Harry?"

Hermione anxiously supported Harry, and this sudden change also interrupted her memory, allowing her to wake up from the memory fragments she recalled earlier.

But it was also at this moment that she grasped some key information.

When Filch's cat was petrified by black magic, its eyes were looking at the puddles on the corridor floor.

Myrtle was also petrified by black magic. Hermione guessed that she was under that kind of black magic in an instant, otherwise the panic on her face would not be so vivid.

Earlier, Hermione had noticed that there was a mirror at the end of Myrtle's line of sight.

There is no relationship between the puddle plane and the mirror itself, but they can both refract the surrounding scenery and make the surroundings appear by the mirror.

At that moment, Hermione understood.

What really turned Filch's cat and Myrtle into statues wasn't the black magic of the murderer behind them.

It's because of what they saw at that time that they turned into statues in a short moment.

But as soon as he realized it, something happened suddenly to Harry.

Harry clutched his forehead, the pain gradually subsided, and his body stopped twitching.

Harry, who was slowly recovering, comforted Hermione beside him.

"I'm fine, Hermione, be careful of the mouth of the statue in front, there is a huge snake hidden in it."

He didn't know much about some knowledge, when describing the pictures in his memory, he described those magical animals more as the animal knowledge he learned in the Muggle world.

Hermione subconsciously looked at the statue of Slytherin, there was a shadow flickering in that mouth.

In this light and dark secret room, it is still very clear.

But when she looked at the mouth of the statue, the uneasiness in her heart also reached a certain peak at this moment.

It seems that if you keep staring at that place, something bad will happen.

At that moment, she quickly lowered her head, looked at Harry in a panic, and expressed her guesses about those things.

"Harry, don't look at it?"

"what?"

"You remember Filch's cat from before, and Myrtle? Don't you wonder why they all turned into statues."

"I remember, but does that have anything to do with us not going to see it?"

"Yes, I suspect that if we accidentally see a certain part of it, it may become a statue like Myrtle, Filch's cat, or even die in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry, let's leave now !"

Hermione's anxious voice reached Harry's ears. He had never seen Hermione so out of place.

In his impression, Hermione will always be the one who doesn't panic and doesn't mess up when things happen.

but now……

Obviously, the monster that was about to emerge from Slytherin's mouth was far more than either of them could have imagined.

Even here, he could hear part of the monster's voice, which also allowed him to confirm who it was from the voice he heard by the wall before.

That, horrible monster!
