Chapter 176 The monster in the secret room is a bit weak

Looking into Dumbledore's blue eyes, Harry hesitated. He didn't know whether he should tell him that he had heard the strange sound.

Malfoy didn't think too much about it. In response to the headmaster's question, he answered directly.

"We were originally planning to go to the auditorium after the ghost dinner to see if we could get something to eat."

"Halfway through, Potter heard some strange noises, saying that someone was about to kill someone in the castle."

"Potter followed the voice all the way to the third floor corridor."

"But we didn't find anything. We only saw Filch's cat and the writing on the wall."

"We were planning to go directly to the auditorium to find the professors, but we were spotted after just two steps."

Strange sounds?

After hearing Malfoy's description, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Harry.

"Was it only Harry who heard that strange sound, or did you all hear it?" Looking into Harry's eyes, Dumbledore asked in a deep voice.

The professors' gazes made Harry feel overwhelmed. He couldn't help swallowing and stammering as he answered.

"It was just me, Headmaster. Hermione, Ron, and Malfoy heard nothing."

Hearing this, Mia and Professor McGonagall's faces were immediately filled with worry.

Hearing things that no one else can hear is never a good sign.

Generally speaking, such people are either cursed or have mental problems.

Mia didn't dare to delay and quickly took out her wand to examine Harry.

"Harry is in good health and is not cursed or anything." Mia frowned, not understanding why this happened.

After a long moment, Dumbledore looked at the four students.

"I believe that you have nothing to do with what happened tonight. You can leave now. Go back to the dormitory and don't stay too long."

The four little guys looked at each other and hurriedly left the office. There were too many professors here and they could hardly breathe.

The professors were all lost in thought. Without more clues, they couldn't figure out what was going on.

After the professors left, Mia looked at Sebastian with a worried look on her face: "Sebastian, has the mysterious man appeared again?"

"That's why Harry can hear some sounds that others can't hear."

"Don't worry," Sebastian hugged Mia gently, "I'll find out what's going on."

"You go home first. I will be staying at the school for the next two weeks. I want to find out who is causing trouble here."

.........................

The next morning, news of Mrs. Norris's attack spread throughout the campus.

In order to make the students feel at ease, Dumbledore instructed the professors to come to the auditorium for meals.

After all, as long as students can see their professors at any time, they won't panic too much.

When Sebastian arrived at the auditorium, it was filled with little wizards whispering in low voices.

However, surprisingly, there was no sign of panic on the students' faces.

"Have you heard? The Chamber of Secrets was opened last night, and the monster inside appeared and killed Filch's cat directly."

"Ravenclaw and Gryffindor students are lucky. They found out last night, unlike us. Our dormitories are in the basement and we only found out about this now."

"Is it Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"Of course, there is no other secret room in the castle except this one."

"I heard the entrance is on the third floor. Let's eat first and then we'll go take a look after dinner."

"It's not the entrance, it's the crime scene. Someone left two lines of blood on the wall on the third floor, saying that the heir to the secret room has appeared."

"That's very strange. According to legend, isn't the monster in the Chamber of Secrets used to eliminate Muggle wizards? Why would it attack a cat?"

"Is it possible that the monster isn't that scary? So it can only target a pet. I heard that Filch's cat is not in danger of death, it's just petrified."

Listening to the discussions of her classmates, Hermione frowned and never relaxed her brows.

What happened to the secret room?

No one can tell for sure!

Legend has it that it was left behind by Slytherin and contains a monster that was used to purge students with impure blood.

However, there are many doubts here.

It’s not the first day that Hogwarts has admitted Muggle wizards, so there’s no reason why the monsters inside would only appear now.

Moreover, the monster did not attack him yesterday, but only attacked Filch's cat, which was inconsistent with the legend.

Although petrification is very powerful, the monster only dares to cause trouble to pets, so it doesn't seem to be very powerful.

Because of these doubts, Hermione didn't sleep well last night, and even her dreams were related to the Chamber of Secrets.

Hermione's eyes lit up when she saw Sebastian.

If you have any questions, you can ask the knowledgeable Professor Swann, who comes from an ancient pure-blood family and was born in Slytherin.

Maybe he knows some news that ordinary people don't know.

Hermione put down the bread in her hand and pulled Harry and Ron to Sebastian.

"Professor Swan, can you tell us in detail what is going on with Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

"Also, what exactly is the monster in the secret room?"

Hermione's voice was not too small and immediately attracted the students' attention.

The students who were nearby pricked up their ears, while those who were far away simply stopped eating and gathered around.

They all wanted to hear the specific details of the secret room from the professor.

Looking at the little wizards with eager faces, Sebastian cleared his throat.

"The legend is actually very simple. Thousands of years ago, four founders established this magic school and brought students with magical talents to the school for training."

"Gradually, some disagreements arose between them, and they quarreled fiercely over an issue."

"Slytherin insists on only recruiting children from magical families, that is, pure-blood wizards."

"He thinks that little Muggle-born wizards are unreliable."

"However, the other three founders do not agree with his idea. They believe that all children with magical talents should be brought to Hogwarts for training."

"Slytherin left Hogwarts after a huge row with Gryffindor."

"Before leaving, Slytherin left a secret chamber in the castle."

"Legend has it that there is a terrible monster in the Chamber of Secrets. When the heir to the Chamber of Secrets appears, he will release it to purge those students who are unworthy of learning magic."

Sebastian said meaningfully: "As for the monster in the secret room, no one has ever known its true appearance."

Hermione felt a little depressed after hearing Sebastian's explanation.

She asked in confusion: "Professor Swan, why do Slytherins hate Muggle wizards so much?"

"So much so that he's going to leave a monster behind to clean up the Muggle-born students?"

"Hate Muggles?" Sebastian pondered the words.

"Do you really think Slytherin is so narrow-minded?"

Looking at the little wizards who all looked in agreement, Sebastian spoke loudly.

"Let's analyze what Slytherin's motive was for leaving the Chamber of Secrets."
