Chapter 365 The plan - pass! (Thanks for being a dog, I want to stew his leader)
It is undeniable that the original intention of the four founders of Hogwarts was to continue the existence of magic.
In order to make Hogwarts the best wizarding school in the world, whether it is Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff, every founder is working hard to use their own methods to make Hogwarts the best wizarding school in the world.
Pass on your own ideas and magic - such as building your own academy and choosing the location of the common room and dormitories.
However, in addition, each of them hopes to put more of their own mark on this school, not just leaving a college symbol, and in the end they (they) all achieved it in their own way.
this purpose.
Rowena Ravenclaw changed the structure of the castle.
The greatest master of spells recognized in the history of magic gave Hogwarts Castle its initial magical life and made all the stairs become active. The earliest prank steps and moving armor also began at that time.
Those who appeared, of course, also included the gargoyles guarding the school.
Helga Hufflepuff left a legacy of house elves in the school.
Since then, Hogwarts has become the castle with the most house elves in the entire wizarding world. The kitchen, dining room, every corridor or room are all areas that can be touched by the Hufflepuff concept.
Even the most careless Godric Gryffindor hid his sword in the school's Sorting Hat, which to a certain extent slightly affected the hat's original idea of balancing the four major houses.
of absolute justice.
Under such circumstances, Salazar Slytherin, as the original owner of the castle, is naturally no worse than the other three founders - he built a room in the castle that actually belongs only to himself.
The secret headquarters, only he himself and those with his permission can enter.
Perhaps when he first built the Chamber of Secrets, Salazar Slytherin just wanted a place where he could teach his students to learn magic that the other three founders did not agree with. After all, they had long disagreed on whether dark magic should be taught.
But by the time he finished building it, the decoration in the secret room had clearly shown Slatin's grand idea, which was to show his own importance to the school: after all, no other founder other than him would have built it for himself.
A giant statue, or a monster left in the school that only he or his descendants can control.
"Basilisk, the legendary terrifying creature bred by 'Despicable Herbo'. If my guess is correct, this is the monster left by Salazar Slytherin in that secret room."
Elena glanced at Professor Binns who looked hesitant, and took the initiative to reveal the answer without waiting for the old wizard to make a decision.
In the original work, there is enough evidence to show that the Chamber of Secrets was definitely opened more than once during the period until the 20th century. The Gaunt family, as direct descendants of Slytherin, obviously knew
This is a secret, and most pure-blood families born in Slytherin are very sure of this.
This is why in the centuries after Salazar Slytherin's death, many headmasters of Hogwarts, as well as many historians, have conducted thorough searches of the school, hoping to find the Chamber of Secrets.
But nothing was found.
As a result, those strange casualties caused by the opening of the secret room were all labeled as "campus murder cases of extremely vicious nature". Most people were more willing to believe that this was actually an attempt by some cruel little wizards to cover up their own
An excuse for a crime.
"You have always cared about this matter, right? It's just that for nearly a thousand years, there has been no trace of the secret room, so you have to reluctantly attribute it to rumors and legends - now, the truth of history lies with you
In front of me."
Elena narrowed her eyes and stared at Professor Binns directly in front of her.
Following her voice, the ghost professor's rickety and thin body trembled slightly, an inconspicuous pain appeared on the old man's wrinkled cheeks, and the expression on his face gradually became more vivid.
"Basilisk? I see, that makes sense...but where."
Sure enough, for Professor Binns, the effect of unlocking the dusty historical truth is no less than a death curse.
From Elena's perspective, instead of waiting silently and letting the plot develop in order to maintain some prescient advantage, waiting for Voldemort's Horcrux to open the Chamber of Secrets at an uncertain time in the future,
Create a terrorist attack in the school.
It is better to take the initiative to clean up this dangerous factor hidden in the castle.
You know, as the storm she stirs in this world becomes more and more fierce, no one can predict what changes will happen in the future. Facing the basilisk with the ability to determine immediate death, she will not naively place all her hopes on it.
Everything will follow the original plot - maybe the first person the Basilisk sees is her.
"Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, or Weeping Myrtle. Professor Binns, you should have heard of this name, right? The ghost of a student who is stranded in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle."
Elena glanced at Professor Binns and said in a calm tone, just like Professor Binns' calm tone during class, as if she was reciting a historical record from a book.
"In 1943, the Chamber of Secrets was opened once, and Myrtle was the student who died in that disaster. According to her description, she saw a pair of terrifying yellow eyes before she died, and then she died
Already..."
"With the eyes of the basilisk, anyone who makes contact with its eyes will be killed instantly."
Professor Binns continued what Elena said in a dry voice, paused slightly, and made a breathing sound like a blower that was about to break down.
"Without breaking the curse, no matter how powerful the magic is, if you are targeted, you will definitely die... Indeed, this is Salazar Slytherin's style. I remembered that he specifically asked me about Hel.
Historical Documents of Wave.”
"But, Miss Kaslana, how do you know these things?" Professor Binns looked at Elena with cloudy eyes and asked softly.
"For some special reasons, there is some... wonderful connection between Hogwarts Castle and me."
Elena raised her left hand and waved it quickly in mid-air. Three dazzling magical white lights flashed in front of Professor Binns' eyes.
"The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is in the bathroom. There is a pool engraved with the mark of a small snake. Except for wizards with Slytherin's Parseltongue talent, no living person can open that passage - but you can follow the instructions.
Follow the pipe all the way down and find a stone tunnel that leads deep into the ground. Don’t worry, if my guess is correct, the basilisk sleeping in it will not appear unless it is awakened through a specific process."
"But what if you guess wrong?"
Feeling the increasingly depressing and solemn atmosphere in the classroom, Hermione swallowed and asked cautiously.
Although she didn't know what the two people were talking about specifically, the few words revealed in them were enough to make Hermione on the side feel a chill. She had never known that students had lost their lives in Hogwarts——
From what Elena meant, it seemed like it happened more than once.
"It doesn't matter if you guess wrong. After all, ghosts never die twice, but we are different."
Elena turned her head and glanced at the anxious little beaver, showed a sweet and reassured smile, and looked at Professor Binns who was deep in thought again.
At this time, the light and shadow on the ghost professor's body were shaking, as if they were just like his mental journey.
"I understand, I will go take a look tonight..."
Professor Binns nodded slowly, with a dignified and serious look on his face that had never appeared before.
"As for the issue of the Magic Era, let's wait until I come back tomorrow. You can go back and rest first."
Finally waiting for Professor Binns' answer, Elena narrowed her eyes happily.
Plan - pass!
She didn't believe it. When Albus Dumbledore discovered that there was such a terrible security risk lurking in Hogwarts Castle, he would still have the leisure to arrange some after-school tutoring for her. At that time, he would need
The first headache is how to defeat this basilisk without taking any damage.
As for Professor Binns, even if a regrettable accident occurs, the mandrakes planted by Professor Sprout can also remove petrification. At most, he will be temporarily absent from teaching the history of magic for half a year. It's not a big problem. Let's just treat it as a holiday.
