Chapter 85 The mystery of the secret room (5)

"The mysterious classroom that hadn't appeared for a few days reappeared there, exactly the same as what I saw before. But the inside of the classroom was completely different from what I saw that day. There was nothing else in the classroom a few days ago except those two students. But the classroom that day was filled with old and worn-out books.”

"All of them are books about Slytherin, including some taboos. Of course, such a situation must be reported to the professor. Unfortunately, when I went to the original location during the day the next day, the classroom mysteriously disappeared again. I am missing and there is no evidence. What should I report? Otherwise, others will think I am crazy."

"Then why did you choose to tell me now?" the younger version of Dumbledore asked softly.

Tom Riddle's smile was a little bitter: "Professor, you are already here, so you must have heard a lot of rumors and need to have a conversation with me. Secondly, or it can be said to be an intuition, I think you can help me, And you will help me.”

Morris glanced at Dumbledore next to him and couldn't tell that the Dark Lord actually asked him for help when he was young.

"Tom had just become a prefect at that time, so maybe he still had a little trust in me." Dumbledore's voice was a little floating, "Or maybe he thought I was the most suitable person to test."

There is a high probability that it will not be the previous option. Morris nodded: "He wants to use you as cannon fodder."

"Cannon fodder is another novel word. But it's quite appropriate." Dumbledore smiled.

"Oh, yes, as a professor, it is natural to help students in need." The young version of Dumbledore said, "But Tom, this matter is no longer suitable for students to conduct personal investigations."

Tom Riddle: "I once told this matter to our dean, Professor Slughorn, but he was not interested in it and even thought it was a hallucination I had due to lack of sleep."

"This is very much like Horace's style." The young version of Dumbledore nodded in agreement, "So, it's not that I am waiting for you today, but that you are waiting for me. Right Tom."

Tom Riddle smiled shyly: "Professor, you are too complimentary."

"Old fox." Morris standing aside commented.

Dumbledore blinked: "Accurate evaluation. But Maurice, what do you think of that classroom?"

"Classroom" Maurice thought for a moment. He had no interest in this kind of weird classroom, and it belonged to Slytherin. He was unfriendly to him when he heard the name. "If it were me, I should be the one from the beginning." Let’s deal with getting lost.”

Anyway, until now, except for a few common classrooms and a few places he often goes to, such as the Room of Requirement, the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, and the principal's office, he has not recognized any other place in the school.

Dumbledore: ""

"Not interested?" Dumbledore asked again without giving up.

Morris shook his head: "Let's talk about whether we can find it first. Even if something like this happens, if you still rush past it knowing that there is great danger ahead, you are losing your mind."

"The danger is great," Dumbledore continued, "but this is school."

Morris smiled: "Principal, have I ever told you that I am great at divination?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

"Then let me tell you now, my intuition is very accurate. With divination, I can avoid some risks and make the right choice." Morris said proudly.

This is what gives you the confidence to do things happily. Dumbledore was a little worried.

"Then why don't you tell me in detail, and I can also think about how I can help you better." The young version of Dumbledore said.

"Of course." Tom Riddle nodded and talked eloquently, "I checked the library and got some information about the history of Slytherin. Among them, there were some amazing discoveries, such as the Chamber of Secrets."

The young version of Dumbledore was not surprised by this: "There is a long-standing rumor in Hogwarts that there is a secret room. From a very early age, students have been looking for the location of the secret room. But unfortunately, they All failed.”

Tom Riddle smiled and said: "Of course I know these things, and I am not sure that what I found is Slytherin's secret room, but the books and knowledge in that classroom cannot be fake. It must be left by a great being. A legacy for future generations.”

"After several experiments, I can be sure that I can only enter that classroom when I am alone. If I am with others, then the classroom will disappear. If others come alone, they cannot find the classroom. "

"Sorry, I want to interrupt you." The young version of Dumbledore said, "I have to suspect that this is your conjecture, and if it is what you said, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Tom Riddle: "No, you can. A classroom cannot appear or disappear for no reason. I suspect it is a powerful magic."

"Appearing at specific times and hiding at other times, this must involve transfiguration magic, and Professor Dumbledore, you are the transfiguration professor, so you have to do it."

"Is that so?" Morris turned to Dumbledore curiously.

Dumbledore nodded: "What Tom said does make sense. Look at you, you don't think so."

Morris thought for a while and said: "I think this classroom is either an artificial intelligence with the ability to delete on its own, or a pit that is manipulated safely. Professor McGonagall taught in class that transfiguration is the transformation of an object through the magic of a wizard. It turns into another item, but the essence of the original item will not change. After the magic dissipates, the item will naturally turn into the original item."

Dumbledore nodded approvingly: "Yes, these are the basic rules of Gamp's Transfiguration. You listened carefully in class."

Morris said: "In other words, transfiguration is consistent with the law of energy conservation in physics in our Muggle world. We cannot conjure a thing out of thin air. So why did that classroom appear out of thin air? Why was there only Tom Lee? Del can see the classroom. According to my previous argument, I don't think this is a transfiguration. Conjuring a classroom out of nowhere and objects in a corridor with normal facilities must at least involve space. . But Hogwarts prohibits that only those with the highest authority in the school can perform this kind of large-scale space magic. If it is not a private space opened by the contemporary principal, then there is a person with strong magic who is digging holes for people. Jump."

Dumbledore couldn't hide his surprise. This child had surprised him too much.

After a moment of silence, he said: "You are right."
