HP's profit-seeking

Chapter 23 About the Chamber of Secrets

For several days, the students talked about nothing but the attack on Mrs. Norris.Filch was always pacing up and down the place where Mrs. Norris had been killed, and he seemed to think that the attacker would come again.The writing on the wall seemed indelible, and after several days Danica saw that the writing was still on the stone wall, still legible.

After the attack, Stacy also started spending all day in the library, and she seemed more worried than Danica.On this day, Danica saw her come out from between the bookshelves with an annoyed expression on her face, "Several copies of "Hogwarts, A School History" have been borrowed, and there are already two people who registered to borrow. It's been a week." She sat down next to Danica and Roger, "If I knew I wouldn't have read so fast, I can't remember much of the book now."

Roger calmly lifted up a book spread out on the table, revealing "Hogwarts, A School History" he had hidden underneath, and said to Stacy, "Look, I borrowed it. Before. I wanted to look up something about Rowena Ravenclaw, but I didn't return the book."

Stacy and Danica gathered around, "Find out about the Chamber of Secrets." Stacy urged.

Roger quickly flipped through the book in his hand, "Let me see...the Chamber of Secrets...found it!" He stopped on a page and began to read the words in the book in a low voice, "Hogwarts School was founded more than 1000 years ago , the founders were the four greatest wizards and wizards of the time. The four houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Sarah Chas Slytherin. Together they built this castle, away from the prying eyes of the Muggles, because in those days magic was feared and witches and wizards were persecuted a lot."

Stacy said anxiously, "Hurry up and talk about the Chamber of Secrets, we all know this."

Roger continued to read unhurriedly, "In the first few years, several founders worked harmoniously together, looking for young people who showed signs of magic, and brought them to the castle to train them well. But, slowly There was a rift between them. A growing rift between Slytherin and the others. Slytherin wished Hogwarts would be more selective in its admissions. He believed that magical education should be confined to purely magical families. He didn't want to take Muggle children, thinking they were unreliable. Some days later, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a violent argument over the issue, and Slytherin left the school."

Stacy snatched the book from his hand, "I'll look for it, you won't be able to talk about the Chamber of Secrets for a long time."

She read a few lines down, "It is said that Slytherin built a secret chamber in the castle, which the other founders knew nothing about. According to that legend, Slytherin sealed the chamber so that no A man can open it until his true heir comes to the school, and only that heir can open the chamber, release the horrors inside, and let it cleanse the school of all those who are not worthy of learning magic."

After she finished reading, the three of them fell into silence. After a while, Danica broke the silence first, and she coughed, "I asked Professor Flitwick before, and he told me all this, and he also told me Me, the scary thing in the Chamber of Secrets is probably a monster. I'm looking into what kind of monster it is recently."

She took the book in Stacy's hand, turned a few pages forward, pointed to the book and said, "It is mentioned in the school history that Salazar Slytherin is a rare Parseltongue who can communicate with snakes." Communicate." Danica glanced around, but no one noticed them, she lowered her voice and continued, "I guess the heir of Slytherin may also be able to speak Parseltongue, and the Chamber of Secrets may also need to be able to speak Parseltongue Only people can open it. As for the monster inside, I guess it may also have something to do with snakes."

Roger nodded, "I think it's very possible. I'll write a letter to my father to confirm it when I get back."

Stacy frowned and thought, "If the monster inside is a snake, shouldn't Mrs. Norris be poisoned because of being bitten? But now the cat is petrified."

Danica suddenly thought of something, and she said hastily, "There is a myth in the Muggle society. In the legend, there is a gorgon, and anyone who looks directly into her eyes will turn into a stone statue. Do you think Mrs. Norris will Could it be that he was petrified because he saw the eyes of a monster?"

Stacy jumped up all of a sudden, "I'll check it out!"

I have to say that Ravenclaw's good mind can always make them guess the possibility that is closest to the truth.

In the next few weeks, although they still haven't found out what the monster in the secret room is, Danika has developed a pair of glasses that can block the sight of non-humans. She drew a protective magic circle on the lens. Difficult, she also gave Roger and Stacy a pair.

Stacy put on her glasses and took out the small mirror she carried with her to take a picture, "I really look like a nerd." She put down the mirror, "Why don't you make more and sell them to our classmates?"

Danica was awakened by her, and then Stacy and Roger were responsible for spreading the speculation that monsters petrify people through their eyes, and Danica was responsible for selling anti-petrochemical glasses.In just a few days, the teachers of Hogwarts discovered that Ravenclaw students seemed to have put on glasses overnight, and students from other colleges dismissed their conjectures, and only a few people were willing to buy Dan Nika's glasses.

Stacy slammed the door of the classroom angrily, and Danica and Roger, who were sitting in the abandoned classroom counting money, were taken aback by her.She sat down next to Danica. "Penelope Clearwater smirked at my glasses and said our guesses were nonsense. If you don't buy it, you don't buy it. She's a prefect and she's the best."

Danica touched her back a few times to help her feel better, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Look at these Galleons, are you happy?"

The three of them made a lot of money this time, and after dividing it up on average, each of them still had fifty Galleons and eleven Sickles in silver.Danica's good mood lasted until Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Lockhart hadn't tried to bring a living creature into his classroom since the events of the elf disaster in the first class.Now, the content of his class is to read the books he wrote to the students in large sections. Sometimes when the interest comes, he will ask the students to come up with him and act out the dramatic fragments in the book.So far, Stacy has played a vampire who only eats turnips after dealing with Lockhart, Roger has played a Himalayan yeti with a nasal flu and a werewolf, and the twins have played a sex-eating corpse together. ghost.

One day Lockhart called Danica to act with him, playing a dominatrix who was obsessed with him.She heard laughter from many people below, including Stacy and Roger, and the twins even slapped the table with laughter.Danica gave them a hard look.

"Come on, Danica, let's play Chapter 3 of Vacation with a Hag, to show how a vicious hag fell in love with me at first glance." Lockhart was in a very happy mood Thinking back, "You must show her gentleness after she has changed from being fierce to being fascinated by me. Do you need to read the book again? Honey."

Danica shook her head, and after Lockhart finished speaking, she cast a disillusionment spell, transfiguring her face into that of a hag.Sharp fangs protruded from the mouth and stretched all the way to the chin; the pupils of the eyes turned into vertical pupils of monsters, and the original whites of the eyes turned black, exactly the same as the dominatrix she saw in the book in the library.She also tried a Loud Voice spell, sending out an animal growl at Lockhart.

Everyone below was taken aback by her, and Lockhart, who was the closest to Danica, took a few steps back in fright, "No—it doesn't need to be so realistic—just pretend, um— —Let me think about what I did next, oooh—I brushed my hair and gave her a charming smile—" He gave Danica a forced smile when the bell It rang, and he quickly closed the book "Holidays with Hags".

"Homework: Write a poem about my victory over Wagga Wagga! The best ones will get a couple of autographed copies of 'I Can Be Magical'! Well, class is over now, students." He turned his head and said to Danica, who was still on the podium with the hag's head on her head, "Miss Wilson, you can change back." She shrugged and lifted the spell.

Danica followed the students out of the classroom with Lockhart's seven books in her arms. Stacy said excitedly, "It's so cool, Danica! Lockhart just turned pale with fright, I bet he Everything in the book must be false." After being forced by Lockhart to eat five radishes, she fell in love with Lockhart.

The twins coming out of the room behind push Stacy aside, sandwiching Danica between them.

"It's so relieved Danica." George patted her on the shoulder and praised her, "The dominatrix you just acted really like!" Fred laughed beside him, and responded, "Yeah, yeah, too Like." Danica stepped on his foot angrily, and before she tried to step on George, he was already running away.

Fred said to Danica, "Come on for Saturday's Quidditch match?" he said to Danica before following George away. He stared at her intently.

Danica was a little embarrassed by his look, so she nodded.Fred's eyes were filled with a smile, "I'll wait for you in the players' lounge." He quickly followed George and walked away.

Stacy stood by and watched for a long time, and asked in surprise, "When did you and him get together?"

Danica gave her one free hand and tapped her on the head, "Watch your words, Miss Fawcett. I'm not with him."

On Saturday morning, Fred woke up early. He lay in bed, listening to George snoring in the next bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking a lot.After George got up, they went to the auditorium to have breakfast together.In the auditorium, the rest of the Gryffindor team sat huddled together, all nervous and taciturn.Fred sank at the thought of beating Slytherins on the fastest broom money could buy, and neither he nor George tried to lighten the mood by joking.

Fred looked at the long table of Ravenclaw again, his eyes searched around, but he didn't see Danica, not even Stacy, who was always with her.He felt worse.

Eleven o'clock gradually approached, and all the teachers and students of the school came to the Quidditch stadium.Fred came out of the waiting room and glanced at the stands full of people. Feeling the increasingly hot and humid weather, he was in a worse mood.He sat back in the players' lounge. Captain Wood was about to give them a pre-match pep talk as usual. The players sat obediently in their bright red Gryffindor uniforms.

"The Slytherins have better brooms than us," said Wood, "that's undeniable. But the men on our brooms are better than them. We've trained harder than them, and we've flown in all weathers— —”

"Exactly," put in George, "I haven't had my clothes dry since August."

Wood ignored him, and went on, "—we're going to make them regret letting that little villain Malfoy pay to get on their team." He turned to Harry, "It's up to you, Harry, to make them see You see, as a Seeker, it's not enough to have a rich dad. Catch the Snitch before Malfoy does, or die on the field, Harry, because we've got to win today, we've got to win."

Fred hammered Wood's chest and winked at Harry, "Just do your best, don't be too stressed."

Then all the players go out, they're ready to play.

"Fred Weasley!"

Fred stopped when he saw Danica running towards him.

Danica took a few breaths, calmed down and said, "I'm sorry I got up late in the morning and got lost when I came to look for you just now. I've never been to the Gryffindor team lounge."

Fred shook his head indifferently, he now felt that his mood suddenly brightened up.He joked to Danica with a smile, "So as an apology, give me a lady luck kiss before I go on stage?" He pointed to his cheek, his face full of teasing.

Danica hesitated, Fred waved his hand, "I'm just joking, I'm going to play, remember to cheer me up later." He was about to leave, Danica grabbed him and stretched out his hand to grab him He pressed his head down a little, kissed him on the face suddenly, left a sentence "I'm going to watch the stage." and ran away.

There was a burst of booing and laughter from the other Gryffindor players, and Wood hit them one by one, "Let's go! It's time to play!"

Fred followed behind into the arena like a chicken blood, and they were greeted with loud cheers. He smiled brightly and waved towards the Ravenclaw stands.

The game started.
