Hogwarts Life Guide

In the next few days, Tangning and Hermione were unable to find any information related to the Chamber of Secrets in the library, let alone a snake that could turn people into stone. Tangning searched through the entire "Snake Encyclopedia" and found no such information. A capable snake, he saw a bunch of disgusting venomous snake introductions, which gave him a nightmare that night - he was being chased by a group of giant snakes with their bloody mouths open, but he couldn't run or escape no matter what. I woke up in a cold sweat.

However, the next day after the nightmare, Tang Ning found an artificial mark on the last page of the library's "Snake Encyclopedia" - an equilateral triangle with a circle embedded in it, and a vertical line passing through the center of the circle. Tang Ning was most shocked. The strange thing is that there is a handwritten word under the pattern, but it has been heavily obliterated.

Tangning looked through the encyclopedia again and found no other traces, but the triangle mark Tangning was sure he had seen somewhere before...

Tangning's impression of the second movie was only about Harry defeating a big snake at the end. He had forgotten all other details and plots. This made it hard for him to believe that special marks appeared inexplicably on a book about snakes. It's a coincidence.

Tangning couldn't remember where she had seen the triangle pattern, which made Tangning a little upset.While eating lunch, his fluffy black hair was rubbed into a chicken coop shape, but it was of no use.She couldn't think of anything. Even Hermione, who loved reading for fun, couldn't recognize the mark Tangning saw.Tangning insisted that this was an important clue, but he had no reason to convince Hermione. Later, he could only claim that it was his intuition.

The secret room became a topic of conversation among the little wizards after dinner, and few of them were nervous about it.And no one except Filch felt sorry for Lady Norris, let alone Dumbledore's claim that she was still alive.

This situation continued until a week later in the History of Magic class, when Hermione asked Professor Binns about the rumors of the Chamber of Secrets.After Hermione's repeated questioning, Professor Binns answered the question head-on.

"...At the beginning of the academy, several founders worked together harmoniously, looking for young people who showed signs of magic, and brought them to the castle to train them. However, slowly, differences began to appear between them. The rift between Slytherin and others is growing. Slytherin wants Hogwarts to be more selective when recruiting students. He believes that magical education should be limited to purely magical families. He is unwilling to accept children born by Muggles. , thinking they were unreliable. Some days later, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce quarrel over this issue, and Slytherin left the school."

"Reliable historical information tells us this," Professor Binns paused and looked around the classroom with blurred vision. He continued, "However, these pure facts are covered up by the weird legends about the secret room. .The story goes that Slytherin built a secret chamber in the castle that the other founders knew nothing about. According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the chamber so that no one could open it until His true heir comes to the school. Only that heir can open the secret chamber and release the horrors inside, allowing it to purify the school and eliminate all those who are unworthy of learning magic."

The students changed from their previous sleepiness. They were not interested in the official history of Slytherin having disagreements with other school founders and then leaving the school. Instead, they were more looking forward to Professor Binns telling more about the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.

"This is just a sensational and even ridiculous story! In fact, when the rumors spread, the school arranged for the most knowledgeable witches and wizards to investigate the matter. The secret room does not exist. It can only scare simple-minded people. people!"

But Professor Binns' words could not stop the curiosity of the little wizards. They asked various questions, which made Professor Binns a little impatient. Finally, he said sternly, "Enough! This is a myth! It doesn't exist at all! There is no trace of it." There is evidence that Slytherin once built a secret broom shed or something like this. I really regret telling you this ridiculous story! Let's go back to history, if you like, to something real and believable. , Reliable fact, come on!"

Professor Binns' rare anger made the little wizards quiet down. After five or six minutes, the class began to smell of lethargy again.

After class, that night, news of the Chamber of Secrets spread throughout Hogwarts.

Only then did the little wizards feel nervous, and they subconsciously placed their suspicions on Harry, Ron and Hermione.Tangning didn't know where the rumor came from in the first place, but the rumor clearly defined Harry as the heir of Slytherin, while Ron and Hermione became accomplices.

This made Hermione very sad. The students, especially the little Muggle-born wizards, avoided her. She always saw a few frightened faces every time she went to class.Harry and Ron, who also suffered the same fate, lived a reclusive life, and their help in finding information was very limited.

Tangning couldn't stay away from the incident, because one day later, he became a person hiding in the dark to help the Slytherin heir look out...

On the first weekend after the rumors started, Hermione was sitting next to Tangning in the Gryffindor common room, chatting about her achievements in the past two days. "I recently read your book "A History of Hogwarts" again. 》, I discovered another problem outside of the Chamber of Secrets - Do you remember the house elves in the kitchen? Or you took me to meet them! I found that there was no mention of it in the history of Hogwarts... …”

House elf?kitchen!The answer to the question that had troubled Tangning for a long time suddenly came to mind. He waved his arm suddenly, interrupting Hermione's next words.

"I remembered!" Tangning was very excited. He held Hermione's shoulders with both hands and beamed with joy. "I finally remembered where I saw the triangle pattern. It was on the kitchen door!"

"Let's go take a look!" Tangning said happily. Hermione hesitated for a moment but did not say anything against it.

Arriving at the kitchen door, Tangning found a triangular pattern above the pull tab. Two doors needed to be closed to form a complete mark. The most important thing was that the pattern and the door did not look harmonious.

Maybe the house elves knew something. With this thought in mind, Tangning opened the door again. Fortunately, this time it didn't cause any major accidents, only two dining carts were overturned.

Tangning and Hermione explained for a long time before the house elves realized that they were not here for food or tableware, and then they took away all the chicken legs, steaks, and sandwich bread that they had brought.Finally, an old house elf with wrinkles on his face answered Tangning's question.
