Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

Tom frowned and had some guesses in his mind. According to the records in the book, Salazar Slytherin's original intention of building the Chamber of Secrets was to privately teach dark magic to the talented young wizards in Slytherin.

After leaving school, Salazar once said that there were terrible things in the secret room, which were used to eliminate people who were not worthy of learning magic.

All the records only mention secret rooms, but no one knows how many secret rooms Salazar left behind. If he wanted to teach students, no matter how evil Salazar was, he would not take the students in and out through the pipes, or in other words Students will not be put together with basilisks.

Even if he is a criticized pure-blood theorist, no one can ignore that Salazar is still a person who is responsible for the students and has a sense of justice, and such a person will not put the students in danger.

After speculating along the way, Tom stood in front of the huge iron door. He saw several snake-shaped sculptures swimming above and stepped back. The circular door further confirmed his guess.

'Open...'

Entering the gate, Tom stepped onto the stone ground when all the torches lit up one after another, and the dazzling light made him squint his eyes uncomfortably.

After a while, Tom looked at the rectangular space with interest. There was a wide stone road in the middle, and pools of medium depth and shallow water on both sides. The entire secret room was made of stone, and he walked slowly on the smooth ground. Come forward.

Tom saw that the face of the statue in the middle was darkened, it had an old monkey face, and its sparse beard reached the hem of its robe. Is it too late for him to leave now? This can't be Salazar Slytherin!

Helplessly holding his forehead and sighing, Tom straightened his robe, stood up straight and put the palm of his right hand on his heart. His eyes looked directly in the direction of the statue, his upper body bowed slowly and gracefully, and the expression on his face was serious and solemn.

'Talk to me...'

Tom straightened up and fixed his eyes firmly on the statue. Soon he heard the sound of the giant sliding and subconsciously tightened his wand until the statue opened and a huge dark green figure crawled out from inside.

'Descendants of Salazar...' The huge golden eyes were full of coldness, staring closely at the little wizard under him. The basilisk spat out a message, as if distinguishing the breath of Tom, 'Mixed blood. ...you are mixed race...'

Being despised by a snake, Tom couldn't tell what he was feeling for a moment. Huge magic power surged out of his body. He knew that Parseltongue could control the basilisk, but he was not sure. This snake had a bad temper. The basilisk was disobedient.

'I am the one who woke you up...tell me where Salazar Slytherin's real secret chamber is...'

The basilisk's tail covered with hard scales swung and landed directly in the pool on one side, causing a large splash. 'Interesting... the person who woke me up last time just asked me suspiciously if Salazar was real. It looks like that...'

'You smell of that little guy, very faint... but it is there... I can't disobey the Parseltongue's order... This... is not Salazar's secret room, but the first one Line of defense...'

Tom frowned in confusion, and thought of something after a moment, the line of defense... Yes, wizards did not live well thousands of years ago. They were feared by Muggles, and countless wizards were sent to be burned alive. His ancestors There's nothing wrong with leaving the basilisk behind as a weapon against Muggle invasion.

‘So... where is the real secret room? And...did Salazar Slytherin really leave...'
