Chapter 116 The History of Hogwarts! The Origin of the Chamber of Secrets!
In the Transfiguration class the next day.
As usual, Argus sat in the first row and listened carefully. The Gryffindor students who originally liked sitting in the first row rarely chose to sit in the back.
Only the Slytherins were still surrounding Argus.
Harry and Ron were even more serious. There was no one at the tables centered around them.
Professor McGonagall was keenly aware of this, and her brows furrowed deeply.
He tapped the cup on the table with his wand.
"Be quiet."
"Today, we are going to learn how to turn animals into goblets."
"like this!"
Professor McGonagall pointed her wand at the parrot beside her.
"one two three!"
"Fla Fuldu!"
The next second, the parrot pecking at the bread turned into a transparent goblet.
It caused countless little wizards to exclaim.
Professor McGonagall enjoyed the shocked looks in the students' eyes, and the sadness caused by the exclusion of the Yagus people quietly dissipated a little.
"Now, it's your turn!"
"Who wants to give a demonstration?"
"Mr. Grindelwald?"
Professor McGonagall not only cares about students' grades, but also pays great attention to students' daily life.
Even though he knew that anyone could accomplish this kind of demonstration, he still named Yagus.
He wanted to use this opportunity to reduce the rejection of him by the people around him.
Argus looked at Professor McGonagall's eyes and immediately understood her good intentions.
He took out his wand and tapped his owl lightly.
The fantastic scene appears again.
The owl turned into a goblet in front of everyone's surprised eyes.
The cup also has an owl pattern on it.
Professor McGonagall nodded appreciatively: "Excellent, Mr. Grindelwald."
"Three points for Slytherin!"
Turning to look at Ron, he stepped in front of him.
"Mr. Weasley?"
"Don't be nervous, one, two, three, Fula Fuldu!"
After seeing Yagus's understatement demonstration, Ron was confident.
He coughed a few times and signaled everyone to prepare to see him show off his power.
Yagus looked over with interest.
If I remember correctly, Ron's mouse should have been transformed into an Animagus by Peter Pettigrew.
I wonder what the effect would be if a transformation spell was cast while in the Animagus state?
Peter Pettigrew obviously realized something was wrong.
Squeaking and screaming, struggling and about to jump off the table.
Ron held him down!
"Quiet, Banban!"
Worried that he would continue to run around, Ron even used a few books to hold down his tail.
Take two deep breaths to relieve tension.
Ron took the wand he had tied with tape and began to perform the transfiguration spell according to Professor McGonagall's instructions.
"One, two, three, Fluffdu!"
Green light flashed and the mouse changed in response.
It's just... the degree of change seems to be different from what everyone imagined.
The goblet was ready, but it was made of mouse fur, and a slender mouse tail was still twisted under the book.
It makes people extremely uncomfortable to watch.
"Puch!"
Harry couldn't help but laugh out loud. As soon as he started, the whole classroom burst into laughter.
Ron's face was almost the same color as his hair.
"Okay, don't laugh!" Professor McGonagall didn't expect Ron to be unable to do such a simple magic.
I had to hold back the extra points I had prepared.
She was not Snape and could not do such blatantly partial things.
Let out a low sigh.
"Mr. Weasley, maybe you should consider changing your wand."
"Professor McGonagall!"
A voice suddenly sounded, and Professor McGonagall followed it.
Seamus was seen raising his hands and looking at Harry and Ron with fear in his eyes.
"I want to know what is going on with the Chamber of Secrets and the Heir of Slytherin?"
"Is he... in our school?"
This question completely broke the tranquility of the classroom.
Many people glanced at the three Yagus with horrified eyes.
Among them, I am particularly concerned about Argus and Harry!
Needless to say, Argus, the leader of Slytherin, is also the most talented wizard they have ever seen.
Perfect in every way.
Except flying lessons.
It can be said that if Slytherin really wanted to find an heir, Argus would definitely be the first choice.
The reason why Harry was suspected was that during the sorting ceremony, the Sorting Hat personally said that Harry was suitable for Slytherin.
Want to sort him into Slytherin house.
The classroom fell into dead silence.
"All right."
Professor McGonagall glanced at Seamus and slowly walked to the podium.
"I think this matter shouldn't be hidden from you."
"Everyone knows the history of Hogwarts. It was established by four founders more than a thousand years ago."
"Three of them get along very well. Only Slytherin's ideas differ from the other three."
"He believes that only wizards with pure blood, that is, pure blood, are qualified to learn magic."
As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar.
After all, most of the current Hogwarts are mixed-race, and even their parents are Muggles.
If we follow Slytherin's logic, they are not even qualified to step into the gate of Hogwarts.
"Before he left, he left a secret room behind. It is said that there was a terrifying monster in the secret room."
"Only the Heir of Slytherin can open it."
"The moment the door is opened, it means the cleaning begins."
"Such a terrifying monster, has Hogwarts never searched for it?" A little wizard from Gryffindor asked.
Professor McGonagall patiently answered: "Hogwarts has tried to search this secret room more than once. Unfortunately, this secret room seems to not exist, and we have not found any trace."
After saying this, Professor McGonagall brought the topic back to the classroom.
The class ended with countless people feeling uneasy.
In Argus's original plan, he should go to the Room of Requirement to find the Ravenclaw's crown.
But now, countless people's eyes are on him.
If he disappears from everyone's sight for a long time, he will probably arouse suspicion again.
Although he is not afraid of these, he does not want to attract firepower for Harry in vain.
Anyway, it won't be long before Harry's Parseltongue will be exposed, and those who pay attention to him will naturally disappear at that time.
...
Two days later.
Quidditch field.
The enthusiasm of Quidditch seems to have dispersed the bloody haze that shrouded everyone's head in one fell swoop.
Countless people are cheering and shouting.
The school professors also took it very seriously and wanted to use this Quidditch match to divert the attention of the young wizards.
Except for Professor Flitwick who was responsible for staying in the castle to deal with some possible troubles, all other professors were present.
Even Dumbledore walked out of the principal's office after a long absence.
Agus had sharp eyes and saw Lucius sitting in the professor's seat at a glance.
He found that the other party was looking at him, and smiled and nodded in response.
But...
In a trance, he seemed to feel a flash of space fluctuations.
