Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 297

Chapter 297 The Legend of the Chamber of Secrets

For several days, the topic in the castle was surprisingly consistent. The students talked about nothing else but the attack on Filch all day long.

Filch was taken to the school hospital, and Mrs. Norris stayed with him.

 Some students originally thought that without this annoying pair, life would be much easier in the future.

For example, they can chat loudly and fight with each other in the corridor at will, without having to worry about someone popping out from the corner and screaming to put them in confinement.

 As it turned out, this was not the case at all, and they soon discovered that they had overthought.

 The professors took over Filch's work and began to take turns patrolling the castle. As long as someone was caught violating school rules, they would be deducted points or imprisoned.

And they are more difficult to deal with. The little tricks he used to deal with Filch are of no use in front of the professor.

 In just a few days, the scoring hourglass of the four schools has dropped significantly.

To make matters worse, the job of cleaning the castle now falls to those who break the school rules...and they can't use magic.

 A few days ago, Kyle saw Fred and George holding a lot of tools, struggling to scrub the words on the wall on the third floor.

　From the conversation between the two of them, it could be heard that they actually missed Filch quite a bit.

There are also secret rooms, which are also a hot topic at the moment.

 All copies of "Hogwarts: A History" in the library have been borrowed.

 “They are wasting their time.”

In the auditorium, Cedric looked at the little wizards around him who were flipping the pages of the book, and said with certainty: "I remember clearly that there is no news about the secret room in that book."

“Have you memorized such a thick book?” Mikel asked in disbelief.

"Of course not, how is that possible." Cedric shook his head and said, "But I still have a general impression. I don't remember that there is any record about the so-called secret room... I have no impression at all."

“Oh, I was thinking of borrowing it from Millicent after she finishes reading it.” Mikel sighed. It seemed that he was also very interested in the Chamber of Secrets.

 After breakfast, several people walked out of the castle and walked towards the third greenhouse.

Professor Sprout is a kind witch who is always smiling. Her Herbology class is also one of the most popular subjects at Hogwarts.

Today, they will learn how to take out the beans from the bubble pod.

This is much more difficult than imagined. The strength used is too small to take it out. If it is too big, the beans will bloom immediately.

 This intensity is difficult to master.

“Don't be in a hurry, increase the intensity little by little, this requires a process, and don't touch those leaves and twigs, otherwise they will get angry.”

Just when Professor Sprout reminded them how to operate, a little Hufflepuff wizard suddenly raised his hand.

 “Lady Bird, do you have any questions?” Professor Sprout asked with a smile.

“Professor, can you tell us what the secret room is about? And who the successor is.”

 At this time everyone raised their heads.

Mikel was so excited that he almost pulled the bubble pod out of the pot.

The angry Bubble Pod sprayed a series of pink beans into Mikel's face, making him scream in pain.

 Professor Sprout blinked.

“Miss Bird, this is not the first time you have asked me this.” She said softly, “Recently, students have asked this question in every class.”

Professor Sprout thought for a while and said, "Well, if you can complete the task ahead of schedule for this class, I can also tell you some rumors I know in the remaining time."

 At this moment, everyone lowered their heads. The chatter stopped, and the man who tinkered with the dragon dung fertilizer also put the bag next to him and began to concentrate on playing with the bubble pods in front of him.

With ten minutes left before the end of get out of class, the last person finally completed the task.

“Oh, okay then.” Professor Sprout looked at the large field of bean flowers in the greenhouse and moved the corner of his mouth slightly.

Although the student error rate is a bit high, at least everyone has succeeded and there has been no deliberate failure.

So she decided to keep her promise, "Of course, this is just a legend, even a little funny."

“Let me think about it…the Chamber of Secrets…it started a thousand years ago when Hogwarts was founded…”

 In the next ten minutes, Professor Sprout told everyone in detail how Hogwarts was established.

 And the growing conflicts between the four founders...their respective criteria for selecting students.

“…after a violent argument, Salazar Slytherin left the school.”

 At this point, Professor Sprout paused.

"This is what is recorded. It is also mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History". If you are interested, you can take a look."

“As for the Chamber of Secrets… it's a weird legend.” She continued: “Some people say that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, and the other founders knew nothing about it.

As long as his successor can open the secret room, he can release the monster inside and let it purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic. "

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, but there was silence in the greenhouse. No one had any intention of leaving. Everyone stared at Professor Sprout, hoping that she could continue talking.

 “Well, go back to the castle quickly, that's all I know.”

 Professor Sprout opened the greenhouse door.

“But in my opinion, this legend is completely nonsense. Salazar Slytherin may have been able to build a secret chamber in the castle without telling the other two founders, but he definitely couldn't deceive Rowena Ravenclaw.

And most importantly... Even when Slytherin was at his most angry, he just wanted to drive those children out of the castle, not kill them. "

 At her urging, the students all left the greenhouse.

 “I knew that the Chamber of Secrets must have something to do with Slytherin.”

　　Ryan said to Kyle and Connor: "The second-year student named Malfoy, he was very proud at the time... and so was Flint. I dare say they must have known about the Chamber of Secrets for a long time."

“It's a pity that he didn't want to tell us.” Mikel said regretfully, “It would be great if we could sneak into the Slytherin common room, where we might be able to hear some secret information.”

"If you really think so..." Kyle said with a smile: "I have Slytherin scarves and decorations here. If you dress up and cover your face, you might be able to sneak in."

"You can try..." Mikel thought seriously for a while, "But I don't know their password."

"This is simple." Kyle said casually: "It means pure blood, glory, eternity, rights, etc. You just need to try it a few times.

Or you can sneak in with other people, just after breakfast on weekends, when there are the most people, so you won't be noticed. "

“That makes sense, I don't need to know the password at all.” Mikel's eyes lit up.

 He touched his red and swollen face...it was from being hit by the bubble pod.

 Originally, he was thinking about finding some anti-swelling potion, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

His current appearance would be unrecognizable even to some Hufflepuffs, let alone Slytherins.

 The opportunity is rare...
