HP in the name of Slytherin

Catherine took Lily and Severus to an empty classroom. There are many such places in Hogwarts Castle. Little wizards always need some space of their own to protect some of their own "little secrets."

Food is indispensable in a place where Haierbo is. Before the three people came in, Donuts had already arranged the tables and chairs.

The chosen location was by the window. After opening the door, the three of them saw a white wooden round table covered with a beautiful light red tablecloth, and above it was a birdcage-shaped silver dessert table. It was six stories high, with items placed on each floor. Desserts of different flavors, colors and shapes.

The afternoon sun shines in through the windows, making this corner indescribably magnificent.

Catherine invited the two of them to sit down, and then she picked up some snacks and fed them to Halpo. Severus did not refuse and sat on her right side.

The chair and table were made of matching solid wood, and the cushions on them were also light red. Lily sat a little restrained on the left side of Catherine. For the first time, she felt that she was kept in the dark by Severus. It seemed that he knew about Catherine. As if to do something.

"Coffee, tea, cocoa, whatever you want." Catherine said and poured herself a cup of tea, so it became normal for Severus to grab cocoa because Lily liked coffee.

When Lily reacted, Severus pushed a sugar cube on the side of the cup. He knew Lily's habits very well. Rather than saying that Lily liked drinking coffee, it was better to say that she liked drinking sweet milk with coffee flavor.

...Hey, what did she want to ask just now?

Lily was stunned for a moment. Seeing her being led away by Severus, Catherine covered her lips and hid her smile as she ate snacks.

When Lily was completely relaxed, she spoke: "You are very worried, Lily, but you know very well that it is difficult for us to stop those boys who are bent on taking risks."

Lily, who was holding the coffee cup, nodded fiercely. Not only the boys, but also her roommate Monica also wanted to participate... She, she was actually a little curious.

But Lily knew the importance, "This thing is very dangerous. If the things inside can really hurt people's lives, we should tell the professors."

Catherine nodded slightly to agree with her idea, but then said: "But Professor Dumbledore didn't find out where the secret room is. I think some special methods may be needed to find it."

Lily blinked, "What special method?"

Catherine prompted: "Like Parseltongue, or something like that."

Lily suddenly said, "Yes, Myrtle said she heard a hissing sound."

The details Myrtle told James about them were incomplete and did not mention Parseltongue because Dumbledore had not found the Chamber of Secrets and told her not to promote Parseltongue - the only possibility of using Parseltongue in the school at that time. It was Tom Riddle, but he had not yet publicly claimed that he was a descendant of Slytherin. Dumbledore only knew that he seemed to be able to talk to animals. This talent was rare among wizards, but it did not mean that he did not exist.

When he first met Tom at the orphanage, Tom told Dumbledore that he didn't need to train animals for them to listen to him. At that time, they still had a little trust in each other, although the trust was quickly eroded, and Tom began to avoid Dumbledore. Dumbledore himself had a complicated attitude towards Tom.

But when he heard Myrtle say that, perhaps a little compassion surged up in Dumbledore's heart.

Suspicion was suspicion, and his own investigation was investigation. There was no concrete evidence, so he did not let Myrtle speak out, because the prosecutor at the time suspected that Myrtle was killed instantly by a highly poisonous animal, and Hagrid had already been locked up for investigation. , Dumbledore didn't want another suspect to appear in Hogwarts, and let the already sensitive Tom be taken away for investigation.

He really didn't find anything here, and the Ministry of Magic, whose methods and abilities were even inferior, had even less hope.

Combining various evidences, Catherine speculated that it was Tom who did it. When he was studying, he only vaguely mentioned that he had a special identity and a special inheritance in his family. Because of his performance and strength, even if his surname was the unknown Riddle, the young wizards believed him. What he said.

But this did not mean that he could publicly declare that he was the heir of Slytherin at that time. When he was a student, Tom was proud but concealed an imperceptible inferiority complex. Because of his mixed-race status, he later even preferred to change his name.

So how to prove that he is special? Prove that even if he is a mixed-blood little wizard, no one in the school can surpass him. He is a well-deserved descendant of Slytherin... It is undoubtedly a good idea to use Salazar's message to inherit his secret room. Method.

The only problem is that Catherine should be with Tom at that time, right? Even if she lost her memory, without sacrificing her love for her father, considering that Salazar is the founder, she should want to protect Hogwarts even more strongly than she does now. How could she let Tom Harm the students of Hogwarts?

It's a pity that Dumbledore knew these things but couldn't tell them. Maybe the existence in the Chamber of Secrets knew something...

Catherine gathered her thoughts and said to Lily: "I have some things that need to be entered into the secret room. Tonight I will go to the place Myrtle said to check again..."

"But..." Lily opened her eyes wide and said hesitantly, "But, James and the others... also want to go tonight..."

Severus frowned slightly, and sure enough he saw the hidden smile on the corner of Catherine's lips... that was the certainty that everything was going according to plan.

Yes, most young Gryffindors are impulsive. Once they have a clue, they will definitely not let it go. They will keep going and going like an addiction. They call this persistence and bravery.

"Oh, they are too wary of me. If I tell them, they will definitely not obey me." Catherine shook her head and sighed.

If it was just a guess just now, looking at Catherine's performance now, Severus was sure that she was acting.

Miss Slytherin has always had more solutions than difficulties, and she has never "showed weakness" so obviously.

And "showing weakness" was a trap for Gryffindor. Lily immediately said firmly: "Let me go and persuade them. It's really too dangerous there! If it's just you, it might be safer to ask Professor Dumbledore to go with him." some."

Compared to the Gryffindor little lions who have been unstable since the beginning of the school year, if Catherine, who seems so reliable, goes to tell Professor Dumbledore, the professor may believe her more.

"No, Lily, they will leave you to do it yourself, and they may even say you are cowardly." Catherine shook her head.

Lily pursed her lips. This was indeed a possibility. To be precise, she had been said to be unsociable by her classmates several times.

Severus followed Catherine's ideas and performance and tentatively said, "Why don't we let them try it."

"Ah?" Lily's eyes widened.

Catherine poked Severus' knee in the corner that Lily didn't notice, "How good is this? It will be dangerous if they come here."

The tips of Severus' ears were reddish, and his face was cold as he said: "They never give up easily. We can tell the professor in advance so that they can be caught on the way. This way Lily has tried to persuade them, but they didn't listen. As expected, they met When it comes to 'danger', you can't blame others, right?"

Lily looked thoughtful, and Catherine frowned and looked at her, saying softly: "Wouldn't Gryffindor be deducted points?"

Severus said: "If you do something wrong, you should deduct points and reflect on it, so that they might be more cautious next time."

"Indeed," Catherine said quietly, "this impulse was in school. We all know that no matter what, we will not be in danger, but if we are outside school, it is not okay to be so impulsive."

The panic in Lily's eyes faded, she looked at Catherine, then at Severus, and said firmly: "I, I will try my best to persuade them!"

Catherine patted Lily and comforted her softly: "It's okay, don't be nervous. If you can't persuade them, just call me quickly and I'll go find the professor to stop them."

[Hmm, Parseltongue turned on, orange eyes, death when looking at each other... Why does it sound a bit familiar? ] Haierbo, who was eating snacks, muttered in hindsight.

Catherine only touched the head of the stupid little basilisk. Isn't this just the ordinary basilisk that she once despised and occasionally envied their special abilities?

Since it was a secret room left to her by her father, there was no way he was going to kill her. It was placed in the school as a test. The other three founders must also know that since they have only accidentally killed Myrtle in so many years, its own danger limit should be just a basilisk.

Of course, Catherine did not want to bring bad luck to the Gryffindors, nor did she intend to put them in danger, but she just happened to have an opportunity to promote the friendship between Slytherin and Gryffindor~
