HP Polar Night

Agares returned to the Slytherin common room, where all the Slytherin students had gathered, from the first to the seventh years, not a few.Just 10 minutes ago, Headmaster Dumbledore issued a ban, requiring all students to return to the common room and not go out until their headmaster came to lift the ban.But any student who violates this prohibition and goes out without permission, no matter who they are, will be expelled.

This was the first time such a strict ban had been issued since Dumbledore became the headmaster, and from the expression on Headmaster Snape's face, no Slytherin would think it was a joke.

Everyone was talking about it, curiously guessing what happened.The heir of Slytherin had been discovered - this possibility accounted for most of the votes.

As the Slytherin who hadn't appeared for a long time, Agares would have almost become the heir, if he hadn't returned to the lounge in time.

Accompanied by a burst of disappointed sighs, Agares looked at the others suspiciously.Draco is the most "lively" in it. On the one hand, he is the most supportive and hopes that Agares is the heir, and on the other hand, he is worried that he will be in danger.

"What's the matter with you?" Agares sat down beside Draco, and several second-year students next to him moved their seats outside one after another, allowing Cathy, Kurt and other third-year seniors to join them.

Cathy said: "They are all guessing whether the headmaster has found the secret room and the whereabouts of the heir."

Of course Agares knew, but he didn't intend to tell others what happened in the principal's office. It was his perfect bargaining chip, and if it was made public, it would not achieve the effect he wanted.

So he just said with a half-smile: "Oh? So that's how it is."

It seems that many people around want to ask him this question, but Agares' attitude shows that he will not mention it.As Slytherins who know how to advance and retreat, they must abide by etiquette and do not ask evil is the rule they should abide by.Thanks to this, Agares felt the tranquility very well, even though the scorching eyes around him almost burned him up.

Draco obviously has more curiosity and confidence to "find the bottom line" than others. Of course, he will not ask questions in the lounge stupidly. He shares a room with Agares. It's a pretty good choice.

After everyone dispersed, Agares was dragged back to the dormitory by Draco.Sure enough, as soon as the door was closed, Draco couldn't wait to ask: "Agares, has the heir been found? Is Dumbledore going to destroy the monster in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Unable to tell whether the other party was worried or curious, Agares shrugged: "Probably."

"Please, you must know, tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone!" Such an answer is certainly not what Draco wanted. Agares must have done it because he returned to the lounge so late just now whats the matter.

"Could it be that you just went to remind the heir to be careful?!"

Agares laughed: "Draco, I don't know when you cared so much about the heir." The other party muttered: "I have always cared." In short, this matter is not something that students should be involved in, if you don't want to be the first Malfoy to be kicked out of Hogwarts in hundreds of years, forget about your curiosity, wash up and go to bed obediently."

Draco collapsed on the sofa depressed: "Agares, you are 13 years old, not 30 years old." Nagging, that is the exclusive term for boring adults.

"If you want to know something, it's not tonight. If, as you said, Dumbledore and the others ordered the students not to leave the common room in order to eliminate the monster in the Chamber of Secrets, then this monster must be very dangerous. In contrast Yes, if you want to eliminate it, there will definitely be some commotion. If there are traces, you will be able to find out the truth. So you can wait until the ban is lifted before going out to look for it.”

Agares' words made Draco's eyes light up.

"In other words, they really found the secret room!" Draco's ability to grasp the key points has always been excellent.

Holding his forehead, Agares felt quite a headache.

"Okay, whether it is or not, it's none of your business."

After getting the part of the truth he wanted, Draco was not in a hurry to know further details. Anyway, as long as it was what he wanted to know, he would know it no matter what.

"Okay, but I can't send a letter to Dad tonight, I hope he doesn't think I did something bad at school." The father-controlling Draco muttered a few words to himself.

Agares narrowed his eyes slightly, and an unidentified look flashed in his gray eyes.

"You can finish writing the letter first. Tomorrow I will send a letter to Narcissa, and I can send it back for you. Don't you like climbing owl towers?"

"Then I'm going to ask my mother to send me another box of Honeydukes candies. The last one was almost finished. I blame Crabbe and Goyle!" the easily satisfied boy cheered and bounced off the sofa. Get up and run to the desk.It looks like he's planning to add more than a page to his list of candy gifts in his home letter.

This night, Hogwarts Castle spent in tranquility.

The students of the four colleges were locked in the lounge and dormitory. Due to the extremely strict ban, no student dared to come out at night, not even the fearless Gryffindors.Of course, it is also possible that the door to the Gryffindor lounge was tightly closed, and the portrait of the fat woman at the door refused to open the door to any students, which prevented the potential danger of their curiosity dying.

There is still one student in the whole school who is not in the lounge, and that is Harry Potter of Gryffindor, the famous Boy Who Lived in the wizarding world.

Last night, Harry had a very exciting battle with Principal Dumbledore and the four deans.

On the second floor, the professors searched various places, and finally found the entrance to the secret room in Myrtle's bathroom.Harry showed his Parseltongue for the first time, saying "open" in Parseltongue to the engraved faucet, and then the pool disappeared in a white light, revealing the thick pipes.

They went down the pipe, which was so deep that Harry thought all the way down that he was going to fall deep into the heart of the earth.But in fact, Mr. Dumbledore said that they are only 30 meters underground, which is actually very close to the underground classroom.

They were standing at the bottom of the lake, and maybe the Black Lake was not far above their heads. If they accidentally cut through the ceiling, they might be submerged in the water of the Black Lake in the next moment.

In the dark tunnel, the ground was full of the bones of small animals, and Harry could only make out the most rats.On the other side of the tunnel, hovering a twenty-foot-long behemoth-a huge snake skin, unusually bright green, looks very scary.

The moment he saw the snake slough, several spells of light flashed before Harry's eyes.

None of the professors around him even made a sound, all of them were silent spells, and maybe wandless spells.

Fortunately, it was just a snake slough, and there was no danger.

Then they walked around the slough that had fallen apart - Snape looked at the slough like Oliver Wood saw the latest broomstick, he dare say the first thing he did after leaving here, Snape You must take the snake slough as your own!

Anyway, then they came to the end of the tunnel, and there was a stone wall with two intertwined snakes engraved on the wall, and the snake's eyes were studded with emeralds, very Slytherin.

Still using Parseltongue, Harry opened the door.Behind the door was a huge empty room, here were only many stone pillars soaring to the ceiling, and each stone pillar was carved with coiled and entangled snakes.There is a miserable green light in the room, which is creepy.

At the very end of the pillar stood a huge statue, with its back against the wall, as high as the ceiling.It was a haggard old man with a long beard that almost reached the hem of the wizard robe. He stood on the ground with bare feet and looked ahead.

Harry didn't know what to do, but Headmaster Dumbledore told him to speak to the statue.

He tried saying "Open" in Parseltongue, but the command he had tried twice didn't work.He tried a few more words, until he accidentally said the name "Salazar Slytherin", and the stone statue suddenly responded.

The face of the stone sculpture moved, and he opened his mouth, growing bigger and bigger, turning into a huge black hole.A dangerous thing, rustling, slowly slid upwards from the depths of the statue.

Before Harry could see what was going on, he was already blocked by Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, and he had used several protective spells.

Hearing the sound, Harry guessed that it was the basilisk that had appeared.

But before he could start to get nervous or feel scared, the fight ended hastily.

Except for Harry, all the wizards present were knowledgeable and experienced.When they suspected that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk, they were of course fully prepared.

The moment the basilisk appeared in the mouth of the stone statue, a rooster was thrown out from the cage covered by the curtain that Snape had carried all the way.The rooster crowed loudly in the Chamber of Secrets, and the sound echoed in the empty room. Maybe someone else added a loud voice to it, but Harry couldn't help covering his ears anyway.

Amidst the screams of the natural enemies, the dangerous basilisk lost its life just like that, and the threat to Hogwarts was lifted.

Harry was sent back to Gryffindor Tower, even though he himself felt that the night hadn't been ups and downs enough.But as long as that monster is eliminated and no one in Hogwarts is in danger, it all makes sense, doesn't it.

In the middle of the night, Ron and Hermione, who had been waiting anxiously in the lounge all night, heard Harry's retelling of all the stories tonight for the first time.The two of them didn't seem to think this story was plain at all. The secret room that only Parseltongue could open, the twenty-foot snake slough, and the huge room and statue were enough for Ron to piece together no less than fifty different stories. wonderful story.

So it is not difficult to guess that when the ban was lifted the next day, the heroic story of "Inspecting the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets at night and bravely fighting the Millennium Basilisk" quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.

Towards the end of the term, the mandrake matured, and the potion made from it rescued the petrified cat and student.Among them, Justin, who once suspected Harry because of his Parseltongue, rushed over to thank Harry, and another student who was petrified, Colin Creevey, was originally a loyal fan of Harry. Lee is a cult.

Although there are still some things that have not been explained, such as who opened the secret room, what secrets exist in that diary, and why Hagrid was expelled from school 50 years ago, etc., but these are not important anymore.

At the end-of-term dinner, Dumbledore announced that Harry had received two hundred points for his bravery and a special contribution award.Because of the extra two hundred points, Gryffindor defeated Slytherin again and won the House Cup.

All the Gryffindors were going crazy, cheering and calling Harry their golden boy, Lucky Star.Because Gryffindor has won the House Cup for two consecutive years since Harry entered school. According to this trend, next year it will definitely create a miracle of three consecutive championships.

As for the bad faces of the Slytherins, they didn't care.

Draco was furious again, whether the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was opened and the basilisk inside was killed, or Potter won two hundred points and a special contribution award, or Gryffindor snatched the basilisk that belonged to him. Leitlin's academy cup, all these piles, made him extremely angry.

Compared to last year when he was sent to the summer camp and did not attend the college dinner, this year Agares sat in his seat and participated in the grand occasion.

He was not as emotional as the others, after all, he had already seen clearly that as long as Harry was in school and the Dark Lord did not completely disappear from the world, the drama like today would definitely happen again.

Dumbledore needs to train his savior boy, experience with danger, guide with friendship, encourage with honor, and fulfill with fame.As Harry said, you need to use Parseltongue to open the secret room. As the only expert in the world who understands hundreds of biological languages, Dumbledore must have studied Parseltongue. Could it be that he can't speak so few words? ?Agares is skeptical.

Seeing the eager eyes cast from the Gryffindor long table, Agares suppressed his thoughts and looked up.Harry was looking at him with a disturbed, guilty, complicated expression.

He froze for a moment, and then a thought came to his mind: Harry wouldn't think that he should have his share of this honor, would he?

Given the Gryffindor boy's personality, it's quite possible.Agares couldn't help being a little amused.

As long as Dumbledore hadn't been senile, there was no way he'd let a Slytherin show off at a time like this.This is not the time to pay attention to whether it is fair or not. In the face of war, everything must pave the way for the final victory.Not to mention the small Academy Cup, if it was really necessary, Dumbledore would probably sacrifice himself without changing his face.

And this is the only way for the strong.

At this point, Agares still has a lot to learn.

The author has something to say:

The Slytherin statue in the Chamber of Secrets is described in the original book as follows: it has an old, monkey-like face, a long sparse beard that almost reaches the hem of the wizard's robe carved in stone, two Gray paws stood on the smooth floor of the room.

Well, it's actually old-fashioned and monkey-like. These two adjectives make people feel that they are not so good, and the image of the villain is vivid on the paper.

But it should be the image of an old man, it's just that Harry saw it in the dark secret room, and it was described like this in order to highlight the "villain image" in the novel.

In addition, the young Riddle used the words "Speak to me, Slytherin-the greatest of the Hogwarts Big Four." This sentence caused the statue to release the basilisk.Uh, let's not mention the disgusting thing about the basilisk coming out of its mouth, the password should not be set so weirdly.

Given the fact that the basilisk came out of its mouth, it would either have to say "speak to me" or it would have been as simple as saying "Slytherin".

Probably...well...hahaha
