HP: Slytherin disguise

The next few days.

The students, among other things, have been talking about the attack on Mrs. Norris, because this was a big event in the ordinary Hogwarts.

Especially Filch.

He often walked back and forth to the place where Mrs. Norris was attacked, as if the attacker would come back.

Apart from these, Filch would often hide in hidden corridors.

Then he would pounce on unsuspecting students and find reasons to put them in solitary confinement, saying they were 'playing too loudly' and 'smiling'.

These weird reasons are simply unheard of.

Nothing happened to the others.

Decorah was imprisoned by Snape for a few days because of his involvement in this matter.

Of course, there's no big punishment, it's just helping to beat the henchmen.

The day the lockdown was lifted.

Decorah had a rare free time. When he went to the classroom upstairs, he met the three Harrys who had just come out of the library.

"Hi~"

"What books did you go to the library to borrow?"

I saw three people holding homework in their arms without any borrowed books.

Decorah was curious as to why they didn't borrow books when they went to the library. Could it be that they were just looking around but still couldn't find the books they wanted to borrow.

"Hermione wants to borrow "Hogwarts: A School History", but it has been borrowed by others. There are many people who have registered to borrow it. She will have to wait two weeks before she can borrow it."

Ron said, and did not forget to continue to complain: "She brought almost all books written by Lockhart... I don't know if there are any good ones..."

"I regret bringing them now, can you shut up?" Hermione was a little angry.

Her favorable opinion of Lockhart was rapidly declining.

And it was because she had packed her luggage with Lockhart books at the start of the semester.

I can't put down other books.

This led her to put "Hogwarts: A School History" at home.

"Really? I have a copy of "Hogwarts: A School History" in the drawer of the History of Magic classroom."

"It just so happens that the next class is History of Magic."

"Come along, I'll give it to you."

Decorah thought that she also had a copy. It happened that the next class was History of Magic. If we went to the classroom together, we could give it to Hermione directly.

"Thank you, Decorah."

Hermione was a little surprised, and a smile appeared on her face.

The four of them came to the history of magic class and classroom together.

Walking to her seat, Decorah took out a brand new copy of "Hogwarts: A School History" from the drawer and handed it to Hermione.

They were seated together, so they sat down and started chatting.

According to Hermione, she was looking for stories about the Chamber of Secrets.

But I can't find it anywhere else.

Ron was working hard to catch up on his homework.

Wait until the school bell rings.

Professor Binns, the teacher of the History of Magic, walked across the blackboard and came to the classroom.

As the only ghost professor.

He seemed to have shrunk as he aged, and his skin and flesh were wrinkled, like a loaf of bread that had been drained of air.

Almost none of the students liked his class.

Because every time he entered the classroom, he would open his notebook and start reading drowsy historical records like an old-fashioned announcer.

He turned to look at Professor Binns who spoke in a dry and monotonous tone.

Decorah turned back to Hermione who was sitting opposite and quietly reading "Hogwarts: A School History" and whispered: "Maybe you can ask Professor Binns about the Chamber of Secrets."

"He is so old, he should know."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

Hermione looked up, glanced at Professor Binns, and raised her arms high.

Regarding the matter of students raising their hands.

Professor Binns almost never appeared in his class, so he looked up in surprise.

"You are……"

"I'm Granger, Professor, can you tell us what the Chamber of Secrets is about?"

Hermione's voice was clear.

This startled Harry and Ron, who were secretly doing their homework.

In fact.

Many students who were sleepwalking were startled.

Then he quietly adjusted his posture, preparing to hear Professor Binns' answer.

Professor Binns blinked dryly and said slowly: "My subject is the history of magic."

"I study facts, not legends and myths, Miss Granger."

As he spoke, he continued to read from his notes.

Ron pulled Hermione who was still raising her hand and whispered: "Ask him, how could he possibly tell you? Professor Binns is like a announcer. Instead of asking him, it's better to check it yourself."

Although these words are somewhat disparaging to Professor Binns.

But it's true.

Professor Binns reads notes like this every day, which is extremely boring, and he never says much that has nothing to do with the class.

"Professor Binns, legends have a certain basis. Maybe you can talk about it."

"This is indeed very curious."

Decorah felt bored and wanted to listen to something else instead of listening to him reading notes like an old announcer.

Professor Binns looked at Decorah, then put down his notebook.

"This is a ridiculous legend..."

He hadn't finished his refusal yet.

He found that all the sleepy students in the classroom were looking at him with curiosity on their faces.

This is a very rare opportunity to listen carefully.

Professor Binns sighed helplessly and could only say: "Okay, let me think about it...the secret room..."

"Everyone should know that Hogwarts was founded more than a thousand years ago. The founders at that time were four famous wizards."

“Four colleges are named after them.”

"They are: Godrit Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenlock, and Salazar Slytherin."

"Together they created this castle, away from the prying eyes of Muggles."

"Because people in that era were very afraid of wizards, many wizards were persecuted."

"At first, the creators worked harmoniously, looking for young people with potential for magic, and brought them to the castle to cultivate them carefully. However, soon, they gradually had differences, and Slytherin and other houses became more and more divided. .”

"Slytherin wants Hogwarts to be more selective in its admissions."

"He believed that magical education should be limited to pure-blood wizards."

"That's why he doesn't want to take in Muggle children."

"It was because of this that Slytherin and Gryffindor had a heated argument."

"Finally, Slytherin left Hogwarts."

"Reliable historical information tells us this, but this pure fact is covered up by the matter about the Chamber of Secrets. Some people say that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle."

"Other creators don't know anything about it."

"The legend says that Slytherin sealed the secret room so that no one could open it. Only when the true heir of Slytherin appears can he open the secret room and release terrible things to purify the school of all those who are not worthy of learning magic. people."

At this point, Professor Binns fell silent for a moment.

The classroom was extremely quiet. Everyone looked at Professor Binns, hoping that he would continue speaking.

"Of course, this is all nonsense."

"The school investigation revealed that there is no secret room at all. This is all used to scare simple-minded people."

pity.

Professor Binns did not intend to go on.
