Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 650 See Unknown

   "There really is a secret room."

  Hermione looked at the hidden room, then turned to look at Albert, "Can you understand the writing on the wall?"

  Albert tried his best not to pay attention to the latest panel task, looked at the writing on the wall, and said in an uncertain tone: "It is probably Old English."

   "Old English?"

  Everyone looked at Albert suspiciously, and then looked at the strange writing on the wall. Anyway, they were completely clueless.

   "Is there a difference?" Harry asked.

   "Old English is basically lost, and few people can understand it." Albert reached out to touch the carvings on the wall. "Perhaps, there are still a small number of Old English scholars on the Muggle side who can read a small part of the content."

   "Is Old English different from modern English?" Ron couldn't understand it at all. In his opinion, isn't it all English?

"It's basically a different thing, otherwise, how could it be lost, instead of evolving into the English we use today?" In fact, Albert can understand part of the text on the wall, which is not Old English, but Latin. But there are still some differences with the Latin system he mastered.

"Oh, I thought there would be something good hidden in the Slytherin's chamber of secrets, but it turned out to be a pile of unidentified garbage." Fred walked to the pile of weathered scrolls, reached out and rummaged through them, regretfully Tucao Road.

   "It's been a thousand years."

  George picked up the scroll spell, watched the scroll shatter in his hand, shrugged helplessly, and when he stood up, he saw Albert looking around.

   "What are you looking for, is there another secret room here?"

   "Probably, maybe... yes!"

  Albert walked to a certain wall, stared at the snake-shaped symbol on it for a long time, and suddenly turned his head and said to everyone: "It should be here."

   "The chamber of the chamber of secrets?"

  Everyone leaned over to watch Harry use Parseltongue to open the entrance, and what came into view was a stone step that ascended upwards.

   "Come on!"

  The stairs are so narrow that only one person can walk, and Albert walks at the front of the line.

After walking up the stone steps for a few minutes, Albert saw a blue light on the stone steps in front of him. He speeded up and walked to the end of the stairs. The torch, the flame is burning fiercely, exuding blue light.

   "There is a torch." Everyone thought it was incredible.

"What's this?"

   "Eternal Fire: Gublai Fairy Fire." Albert picked up the torch, "It should be a magic item made by Slytherin, with a history of thousands of years."

   "Is it worth it?" Ron couldn't help asking.

   "It's valuable, but you have to have connections, otherwise you'll just be taken advantage of." Albert glanced at Ron, always feeling that Ron's style of painting was wrong, why did he look like a poor ghost.

   Well, he is indeed poor.

   Cough, no wonder you always ask this question.

   "Harry, come this way!"

  After Harry opened the entrance, several people found stone steps leading to a room.

   "This is..." Everyone immediately guessed where this is in their minds.

  Slytherin's room?

   No, it should say Snape's room.

  Albert had been here before, and on a dark and windy night, he secretly brought down Snape and took away some potion raw materials.

   "Turn back quickly." Albert urged in a low voice, "Don't touch anything here, this is Snape's bedroom."

   "Snape's bedroom?"

  Everyone became even more curious, and re-examined the furnishings in the room. They had never been to Snape's room before, and wanted to see what that nasty room looked like.

"Don't be stupid, do you want Snape to know that someone has broken into his room?" Albert stared at the people who were about to move, and when he turned and walked back, he did not forget to remind: "Easter stays in the That's the point for the students in the school, Snape really wants to investigate, and he will find you out soon, he is an expert in Legilimency, you can't lie in front of him."

   Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly followed Albert and turned back to the secret room, and finally cast a spell to clean up the traces of their presence.

   "Snape didn't discover the secret of the tunnel?"

   "He's not a Parseltongue, so he definitely doesn't know. Even if he knew, there's no way to open the secret passage."

  After Harry closed the secret door again, everyone returned to the original secret room.

   Albert took out his camera, intending to take some photos and try to translate the documents on the wall.

   "Snape knew who was lying?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Yes, he knows. Snape is an expert in Legilimency, and it's easy to figure out if someone is lying." Albert stopped taking pictures and said to Harry, Ron and Hermione, "Of course , as long as you don't look into Snape's eyes, you can avoid being easily seen through by the other party."

  Harry felt bad all of a sudden, he realized that some of his previous actions were stupid, and the way he looked at each other without showing any weakness was entirely to provide Snape with a chance to see through himself.

   "Is there a way..." Before Harry could finish speaking, Albert preempted him.

   "Yes, as long as you learn Occlumency, you won't be easily seen through by others."

   "Can you teach us?" Hermione looked at Albert expectantly.

   "If Legilimency and Occlumency were so easy to learn, we would have already mastered it." Lee Jordan said angrily, "Fred and George wouldn't have to memorize the key points of the textbook."

   "Shut up." Fred and George stared at Lee Jordan together, "Talk as if your grades are good.

   "Is there any other way?"

   "If you don't want Snape to see through you, then tell the truth." Albert continued taking pictures, "Since it's the truth, Snape won't think you're lying.

  Everyone was speechless.

   "Dumbledore also Legilimency?" Harry asked again.

   "Yes, he will, and he is very powerful." Albert said, "Although Professor Dumbledore is not the most powerful."

   "Who is the strongest, Snape?"

   "No, you also know that person." Albert began to check the contents of the photos, then marked them in order and put them away, "Okay, let's go back, I don't think there should be anything good here."

  Is my guess wrong?

  At first, Albert thought that Voldemort learned his black magic from the secret room, but it seems that the situation is not the same as imagined.

   "Is this thing thrown here?" Ron pointed to the Gublai fairy fire in his hand.

   "If you want to take it back to decorate the dormitory, then take it back." Albert said indifferently, "Just don't say you found it in the secret room."

   "No, with this thing, you won't be able to sleep well at night." Harry didn't want Ron to really take back the Gubley Fairy Fire.

   Several people took a few photos with the basilisk, which was a perfect end to the secret room tour. Then, by magic, come out of the pipe.

  Albert immediately returned to the common room to change out his dirty clothes, and took advantage of the free time when everyone was chatting to check the task panel information.

  Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

  The panel task shows that it has been completed, but the problem is that the reward of the task is unknown?

   Well, another task with unknown rewards.

   Albert feels that the real rewards are probably the documents and carvings on the walls left in the secret room, but most of them have been scrapped.

  Almost forgot, there is also the corpse and shed skin of the basilisk, which may also be part of the mission reward.

   Let the house-elf find time to pack them up and take them away.

   Well, there is also the Gublai Immortal Fire.

   Having said that, the only thing left is to find Hufflepuff's secret room, and then we can gather the secret rooms of the Big Four.

   When you get them all together, you may be able to trigger a mission with rich rewards.
