Hogwarts, was gnawed at the beginning

Chapter 97 Professor Binns’ additional lectures

"What happened? What happened?"

Filch's voice came, and he squeezed through the crowd with his shoulders. Then, he saw Mrs. Norris hanging on the wall, stumbled back a few steps, and grabbed his face with his hands in horror.

"My cat!" he screamed, "how could this happen, my cat!!"

Then, he stared at everyone present with his red eyes. Malfoy, who squeezed out of the crowd and stood in the front, was of course the first to bear the brunt.

"It's you!" He stretched out his vulture-like hand, "It's you who killed my cat. I want to kill you. I want--"

Facing Filch who wanted to eat him, Malfoy took a few steps back in horror.

"It's not me, it's not me." He shook his head repeatedly.

"Argus!"

Dumbledore rushed to the scene, followed by many other teachers, and the students pushed to both sides to clear a path for the headmaster.

Dumbledore walked straight towards the wall, observed it carefully for a while, took out his wand and waved it, then took Mrs. Norris off the torch holder and glanced at the font above.

He placed Mrs. Norris on the ground, then chanted a spell, and tapped Mrs. Norris lightly with the wand. However, there was no response. Mrs. Norris still lay there stiffly, like a newly made specimen. .

Dumbledore frowned slightly and looked up at the young wizards gathered together.

"Who discovered this place first?" he asked.

However, the little wizards looked at each other, but no one responded.

"It must be him, he killed my cat." Filch screamed, pointing his finger at Malfoy, who was standing in front of the crowd just now.

Dumbledore glanced at Malfoy, who shook his head and waved his hands desperately.

"It's not me. I'm the last one here, principal."

"It must be... it must be..." Filch was already a little crazy...

"It's not dead, Argus." Dumbledore said softly, "Come with me, we need to find a place to give it a good check-up."

"Come to my office." Lockhart appeared and walked forward. "My office is closest to here, it's upstairs."

"In fact, I saw similar magic when I was traveling. It was probably the Transformation Torture Spell---coincidentally, I know the curse-breaking spell..."

"Thank you, Gilderoy." Dumbledore interrupted Lockhart and looked at the young wizards surrounding him. "It's time for you to go back to your dormitory. Leave this place to us."

Sur clearly felt Dumbledore's gaze lingering on his side for a moment.

The professors took Mrs. Norris away. The little wizards were quiet for a while, and then started talking in low voices. This was big news.

"Who killed Mrs. Norris?" This topic occupied the top spot for several days.

"Where is the Chamber of Secrets? Is there a secret room in Hogwarts Castle?" This was the second most popular topic.

Malfoy became active again, talking to others everywhere.

"Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, left a secret room. It will be opened one day, and then the great Slytherin will release the monsters inside and purge the entire castle of those who have no blood left. .”

Filch paced around the place where Mrs. Norris was killed with a gloomy face every day, as if he thought the attacker would come again. If he was not patrolling near the crime scene, he would secretly hide in the shadows of the corridor, staring with red eyes. , and then pounced on the unsuspecting students, trying every possible means to find an excuse to lock them into confinement.

"Filch is absolutely crazy." Ron complained as he walked into the library. "He just scared us. He insisted on telling us that we were breathing too loudly and smiling playfully, and then he wanted to put us in solitary confinement."

"What are you looking for?" Harry found Soul and Hermione rummaging around in front of the bookshelf.

"Hogwarts - a history of the school." Hermione answered without stopping her hands or looking back.

"What are you doing with it?" Harry asked.

"The same reason why others want to see it." Hermione walked towards where she usually sat angrily, "Look up the legend about the Chamber of Secrets."

"Chamber of Secrets?" Harry was a little confused, "You don't think that ridiculous thing Malfoy said is true, do you?" He also heard the story from Slytherin.

"I dare not say it's true, but there must be such a place." Hermione scratched her hair irritably and looked at Soul, "Have you found it?"

Soul shook his head, "I think we should go to the classroom now. There will be a History of Magic class later, right?"

"That's right!" Hermione suddenly shouted, attracting Mrs. Pince's warning look, but she didn't pay attention. "Instead of flipping through the book, why don't we ask Professor Binns? He has stayed in the castle for so long. , I definitely know whether the secret room exists or not!"

Hermione happily left the library.

Harry followed closely behind, and Soul grabbed Ron's shoulders. Under his doubtful eyes, the two of them slowed down.

"How is your sister?"

"You mean Ginny?" Ron glanced at Soul in confusion, and then replied, "It's good. She was a little uneasy after that incident, but I comforted her. Ginny usually likes cats. ---Always holding Hermione's big cat---"

"I understand." Suer nodded, "Let's go to class."

Ron looked at Suer, a little confused. He didn't know what was going on in his head, and his expression suddenly changed...

Shouldn't...

This won't work, you have Hermione.

Professor Binns has always been unwilling to tell things in his class that are not related to the course. In his opinion, it is a story that is divorced from historical facts, extremely absurd, and ridiculous.

But every face in the class turned to him.

Seeing the strong curiosity on the children's faces...

"Well, okay," Professor Binns said slowly, "let me think about it...the Chamber of Secrets..."

"Everyone knows that Hogwarts Castle was established a thousand years ago. I don't need to mention the names of the founders, right? They built this castle together, away from the prying eyes of Muggles. In that era, Muggles The melons were afraid of the power of magic and tried every means to persecute the wizards at that time..."

Professor Binns stopped, looked around the entire classroom with his cloudy eyes, and continued,

"In the first few years, the four founders worked harmoniously together, but as many wizards came here, their ideas began to diverge..."

"What disagreement? Professor." A curious little wizard raised his hand and asked, but everyone looked at him with angry eyes.

Professor Binns ignored the little wizard who raised his hand and continued with his own train of thought, because the answer lay in what he said next.

"...The rift between them is getting bigger and bigger. Slytherin hopes that Hogwarts admissions will be more stringent. He believes that magical education should be suitable for pure wizarding families, but Gryffindor does not think so."

"At the beginning, they could still work together, but as their ideas became more and more contradictory, in the end, they had a heated argument, and Slytherin left the castle..."

"Reliable historical information only tells us this... As for whether Slytherin left anything behind when he left the castle, I think that is a ridiculous story, and reliable history is covered up by this ridiculous story."

Professor Binns paused again and pursed his lips.

"According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until the true heir came to the school. Only that heir who passed his test could open the Chamber of Secrets and let the things inside come out and evolve the entire world. School, purge all those who are not worthy of learning magic.”
