Chapter 156 Integrated Clues
The next morning, Aaron went to the library after breakfast.
The current task is to find the legendary Chamber of Secrets, but he knows nothing about it and can only find the answer in books.
Aaron also asked Draco, but he only knew half of it.
Lucius once told him that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, but the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was expelled, and a wizard from a Muggle family died that time, and there were no other clues.
But he spent more than an hour and didn't find a book related to school history, which was obviously a bit abnormal.
Aaron frowned and found the librarian, "Mrs. Pince, I want to ask where there are books related to the history of Hogwarts?"
"Sorry, Aaron, you are late." Mrs. Pince said with some gloating, "When the library opened today, a group of wizards came to borrow those books specially, and there was not a single one left."
Aaron heard this and felt a string of exclamation marks floating over his head.
Damn, do you have to be so competitive?
"You want to find clues about the Chamber of Secrets?" Madam Pince asked meaningfully, "I wasn't there last night, but the news spread this morning."
"Then do you know about the Chamber of Secrets, Madam Pince?"
"I don't know. I'm just an ordinary administrator. I really don't know that much.
But I can tell you something else." Madam Pince lowered her voice, "The books about the history of Hogwarts don't have the answers you want."
Aaron blinked and thanked him blankly.
He didn't think Madam Pince was lying to him. This witch had been in charge of the library for more than ten years, and her love and familiarity with books were simply outrageous.
I dare not say that she has read all the books here, but her understanding of books is definitely the first in Hogwarts.
"Excuse me, Madam Pince."
"It doesn't matter. If you really want to know about the Chamber of Secrets, you can ask the professors at the school. They should know some clues."
Aaron nodded gently, but he didn't have much hope in his heart.
The professors may know more than Lucius, but they may not know the key points, otherwise the secret room would not have been found until today.
......
Transfiguration classroom.
After teaching the theoretical knowledge in the textbook, Professor McGonagall looked at the second-year students of Gryffindor and Slytherin sitting below.
Behind her were two blackboards with a parrot and a goblet drawn on them.
"Everyone, pay attention. Today we are going to learn how to turn animals into goblets." Professor McGonagall walked up to a parrot, "Just like this, one, two, three, the appearance changes dramatically."
A transparent air wave was ejected from the front of the wand, and the parrot instantly turned into a transparent crystal goblet, without any animal features at all.
The students below were in an uproar, full of interest in this difficult Transfiguration.
"Now it's your turn. Who wants to go first?" Professor McGonagall walked down the podium and began to search for the right person.
After walking around, her eyes swung between Ron and Aaron, because they were the only ones in the whole classroom who brought pets, which was convenient for demonstration.
But when she saw the tape wrapped around Ron's wand, her eyes twitched and she ruled him out.
"Mr. Gaius, come on!
One, two, three, dramatic change in appearance."
"Uh..." Aaron smiled hesitantly, "Professor, does this spell work on any animal? What happens if I fail?"
Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Abe napping on Aaron's desk, she suddenly realized that this was a magical animal with a certain degree of magic resistance. It would be bad if the spell bounced back.
"I'll give you a different one." Professor McGonagall tapped a cage on the wall with her wand and pushed an owl inside to Aaron, "Let's get started!"
Aaron raised his eyebrows and picked up his black wand, "dramatic change in appearance."
A silver light flashed on the wand, and the owl turned into a silver goblet with the Slytherin logo on the surface.
"Very good." Professor McGonagall exclaimed, "Five points for Slytherin."
"Anyone else want to try?"
At this time, Hermione raised her right hand.
"Ms. Granger, I guess you are also interested in this."
"No, Professor, I want to ask something else.
Can you tell us about the Chamber of Secrets?"
Hermione's expression was a little unnatural, after all, the question she asked had nothing to do with Transfiguration.
And after Halloween, the Chamber of Secrets has become a sensitive topic. It's okay for you to check it privately, but it's a bit embarrassing to ask this question in class.
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall's expression changed slightly, and she obviously didn't want to answer this question.
But the suddenly quiet classroom and the curious eyes finally made her a little soft-hearted.
"Okay!" Professor McGonagall began to pace slowly in the classroom. "As everyone knows, Hogwarts was founded more than a thousand years ago by the four greatest wizards of the time: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin.
Three of the founders got along well, but the other one didn't.
Salazar Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective when recruiting students. He believed that magic education should only be limited to magic families, that is, pure-blooded wizards.
He couldn't change the minds of the other three, so he decided to leave the school.
According to legend, Slytherin created a secret room in this castle, called the Chamber of Secrets.
However, he closed the Chamber of Secrets shortly before he left, waiting for his true heir to return to school. Only this heir could open the Chamber of Secrets and release the horrors in it.
This will purify the school and eliminate those who Slytherin thought were not worthy of learning magic."
"Professor, do you know what is in the Chamber of Secrets?" Aaron raised his hand and asked.
"It is said that the things living in the Chamber of Secrets can only be controlled by the heir of Slytherin. Some people say that there is a monster living inside."
"Of course, the school staff have searched for it countless times, but no one has found the Chamber of Secrets."
After class, the students left the classroom in twos and threes.
Aaron looked at the notebook on his desk and sighed with some regret, "What a trouble! But it can be regarded as some gains."
He listened carefully to every word Professor McGonagall said and wrote it down word for word.
He had to admit that she knew a little more clues, but they were too complicated and needed to be carefully sorted out.
"Aaron, what are you looking at?" Draco came over and asked. He was a little surprised after seeing the contents on the notebook. "Why are you writing these down?"
"Nothing. I'm a little interested in the Chamber of Secrets."
"The Chamber of Secrets? That doesn't seem to have anything to do with you!"
"No."
"Then don't look for it. It would be bad if you were accidentally injured by the monster in the Chamber of Secrets." Draco advised. "According to legend, the unlucky ones are also those wizards of Muggle origin. We pure-blood wizards are still very safe."
"I didn't want to provoke that monster. I'm just interested in Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
A secret base built by a holy wizard. Hogwarts has been looking for it for so many years but has not found it. It is full of mystery."
Hearing this, Draco also became interested.
The secret base of the holy wizard will definitely not have only one monster. Maybe there will be Slytherin's treasures.
But soon he shuddered involuntarily. Even if there are magic props or magic books, it is not something Malfoy can covet.
Unless the heir of Slytherin dies and those things become ownerless, Malfoy will have a chance to fight for them.
"You look like you're afraid," Aaron teased, "but it's understandable!"
Draco smiled awkwardly and didn't deny it.
"So what clues do you have now?"
"It's a mess, I can only slowly unravel it.
Go eat first! I'll think about it by myself."
After Draco left, Aaron was the only one left in the classroom.
He picked up a piece of chalk and walked to the podium, writing down all the clues he knew on the blackboard.
First, what Draco knew about what really happened: the Chamber of Secrets was opened once fifty years ago; the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was expelled at that time; a Muggle-born wizard died.
Secondly, the legend of the Chamber of Secrets that Professor McGonagall knew: only the heir of Slytherin can open the Chamber of Secrets; there is a monster in the Chamber of Secrets; the monster will eliminate all Muggle-born wizards.
Finally, he knew it himself: the petrified cat; Harry Potter could hear sounds that others could not hear; the crime scene was full of water stains.
Looking at these clues, Aaron's mouth corners slightly raised, his intuition clearly told him that the location of the secret room was in these clues, but it would take some time to find it.
But before finding the secret room, you must also do a good job of protection, and you have to guard against that monster!
Just as Aaron was thinking this, the voice of the system sounded in his mind again.
[Kill the monster in the secret room:
Complete the task to reward 1000 magic points, no penalty for failure, do you accept it? ]
Aaron:......
This is the fucking thing!
"Accepted, wealth and honor are sought in danger, at worst I will try the feeling of giving up halfway."
