Professor The Vampire Earl of Hogwarts

Dumbledore's exclamation drew Dracula's attention, and he looked at the copper faucet that was not producing water.

"This snake pattern looks like Salazar's style. Maybe he secretly remodeled a secret room behind this water pipe, which was not marked on the land deed." Dracula looked at the faucet in amazement.

He was very dissatisfied with Slytherin's small actions, so he teased mercilessly: "I didn't expect Salazar to be such a person, who put the entrance to the secret room in the girls' bathroom; and that Voldemort is not much worse, To be able to find the entrance in the girls' bathroom!"

In fact, even as a close friend of Slytherin, Dracula didn't know where he built the Chamber of Secrets.

The entrance to the original Chamber of Secrets was not in the bathroom.At the beginning of the construction, Slytherin and his descendants could enter the secret room only through a hidden trap door and a series of enchanted passages, without the risk of being scolded as a pervert to enter the girls' bathroom.

But in the [-]th century, as the number of students increased and water consumption increased, Hogwarts' plumbing system became more and more complicated.

In the 18th century, a Hogwarts headmaster planned to build a girls' bathroom near the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, which is the semi-abandoned bathroom where Myrtle is now.

Also because of the construction plan of this bathroom, the concealment of the secret room was threatened.

At that time, there was a student at Hogwarts named Corvinus Gaunt, who was an excellent direct descendant of Slytherin and knew the location of the Chamber of Secrets very well.After his transformation, the entrance to the secret room was secretly protected and connected to the copper faucet in the girls' bathroom through a pipe.

Thus, the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets that Dracula and Dumbledore see now was formed.

"There has always been a legend about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts, and it seems that it may be true now." Dumbledore said thoughtfully, "According to the legend, this Chamber of Secrets is the place of Salazar Slater. What Lin built before he left the school, only he and his heirs can open it."

"Legend has it that a terrifying monster lives in the Chamber of Secrets, which only Slytherin and his heirs can control. When it is put into Hogwarts, it can 'purify the school' and remove all Slytherin that is not worthy of study. Magical people."

"Nonsense." Dracula sneered, "With Salazar's proud character, no matter how much he had conflicts with Godric and the three of them, he would never stretch out his hands to innocent students. There is a monster left behind, and it is probably just a legacy he left to future generations."

"Uncle Dracula, do you mean that the head of Slytherin didn't keep the monster for revenge?" Helena poked her head and asked curiously, "I always thought he was After conflicts with my mother and two other deans, I built such a secret room in a fit of anger, and it was used to eliminate those specially recruited Muggle-born young wizards."

"According to what I know about Salazar, I am more willing to believe that he built such a secret room to protect Hogwarts." Dracula slightly pursed his lips and looked at Helena, "You should know Salazar's idea at the time, Helena?"

Helena nodded.

"Head Slytherin thinks that recruiting Muggle-borns would expose Hogwarts and put the castle at risk," she said.

"Well, it's more likely that he built a secret room before he left because of this philosophy." Dracula slowed down his speech and analyzed carefully, "He left a beast in the secret room that was big enough. A powerful monster that protects Hogwarts from foreign enemies, and is released to guard Hogwarts when necessary. Such an explanation seems to be more in line with his temperament."

After listening to Dracula's narration, Dumbledore wiped the corners of his eyes emotionally, with a moved expression.

"What a touching story! A great founder, even if he had a falling out with his friends, he never forgot to protect their common efforts." He said with emotion, "It seems that the wizarding world has always had a strong sense of Slytherin's character. Big misunderstanding!"

Seeing his moving performance, Dracula hesitated to speak, unable to bear to interrupt his just brewing emotions.

"Uh, Dumbledore, take it easy and listen to me..." He stood beside him and poked Dumbledore's arm, "Actually...the magic world doesn't mean much to him. misunderstanding."

Dumbledore looked at him suspiciously.

"How can that fellow Salazar be as noble as you think?" Dracula hesitated for a while, then leaned his forehead and whispered to him, "His secret room must be as rumored, only his heirs able to open."

"Since this is the case, I'm afraid Salazar is thinking that his heirs will use the power of monsters to turn the tide when foreign enemies invade. In the end, it is reasonable to push his Slytherin house to overwhelm the other three houses..."

Dumbledore's expression froze.

The psychological gap is a bit big, and the deep emotion has disappeared.

"Forget it, it's good that Slytherin didn't intend to hurt the students of Hogwarts..." Dumbledore changed his words silently.

"As far as I know, that guy has no creativity. He likes to use his Parseltongue as a password for everything, and he feels safe." Dracula turned the tap with great interest, But he unscrewed it accidentally, "If according to the previous speculation, the chamber of secrets is reserved for his heir, then this entrance should also be opened with Parseltongue."

"This makes sense. Even if Tom Riddle is a descendant of Slytherin, it's not surprising that he can speak Parseltongue." Dumbledore showed a clear look and explained, "Tom Riddle His mother is from the Gunter family, so he is half of the Gunter family."

"No wonder." Dracula threw the unscrewed faucet on the ground and sighed, "Perhaps Slytherin didn't expect that his descendants didn't use what he left behind to protect the castle, but used it to It's bad..."

At this moment, Myrtle finally got out of the toilet bowl.

She had been secretly observing Dracula and Dumbledore for a long time, seeing them talking around a faucet, she couldn't suppress her curiosity, and floated to the two of them again.

"I died near here!" She looked at the pool, suddenly showing a proud expression, and said radiantly.

"Oh? Then do you remember how you died?" Dracula leaned against the pool again and asked with interest.

"Oh, that's terrible!" She said with relish, without any look of fear at all. "It happened here, and I remember it very clearly. At that time, someone laughed at me for wearing glasses like a four-eyed dog. I hid here and cried, when suddenly I heard someone coming in."

"But what annoyed me was that a boy came in and he said something funny and unintelligible to the sink over here. So I ran up and told him to go away and go to my boys toilet. And then—" Myrtle puffed up her chest in self-importance, her face glowing, "and then I died!"

"If I remember correctly, what you said is no different from what you said when Principal Dippet questioned you 50 years ago, Myrtle." Dumbledore said gently, "but what we want to know is that you How exactly did you die? Or, how did that boy kill you?"

"Actually, I don't know exactly how I died." Myrtle lowered her voice mysteriously, and deliberately leaned close to Dracula's face and said, "I just remember seeing a pair of scary big yellow eyes, my whole body It seemed like they were all caught, and then I floated away..."

Then Myrtle was excited again, and said, beaming, "It's all right to be dead, and then I came back in ghost form. I haven't settled with Olive Hornby yet! Oh, she But I really regret laughing at my glasses!"

Dumbledore nodded.

"According to Myrtle, it shouldn't be Tom who killed Myrtle himself. Then the guess that there is a monster behind this faucet may be close to ten. And that monster has probably been controlled by Tom." He said Said.

Then, Dumbledore turned to look at Dracula, "Can you open this entrance, Professor Dracula?"

"Of course!"

Dracula moved his wrist eagerly, and raised his hand to the position of the faucet.

A ball of light with an extremely deep color appeared in his palm.This ball of light is like a black hole that absorbs everything. It continuously gathers the magic power around it, and its breath gradually becomes stronger and terrifying.

At first, Dumbledore thought that Dracula was going to use the Hogwarts title deed to use the authority of the landlord to open the entrance mechanism left by Slytherin.It wasn't until he saw this black hole with a terrifying aura that he reacted instantly.

"What you mean by being able to open the entrance... is to force it to explode with magic?!" Dumbledore's eyes twitched wildly, and he hurriedly stood in front of Dracula, "Professor Dracula, don't be impulsive, let you go!" The magic stops!"

"How do we get in without blowing it open with magic? I don't know Salazar's Parseltongue."

Dracula's burgundy pupils seemed to be shining, and he looked at the faucet with the handle off in front of him with great interest, unwilling to stop the action no matter what.

"You will destroy the magic system of the castle, Dracula!" Dumbledore's face darkened, and he even drew out his wand, "It's just a weak Voldemort, there's no need to bet on the safety of Hogwarts Castle !"

With that said, he raised the wand in his hand to Dracula.
