Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

The school discovered Hagrid's keeping of giant spiders and accused him of murder.

Hagrid was expelled, and even his wand was broken.

Incidentally, Hagrid was only a third-year student at the time, and at the age of fourteen, he started raising venomous creatures like the eight-eyed giant spider. It just goes to show how tough the life of a half-giant is.

After saying all that, what I really want to say is that Zicomo thinks the snake monster has a pretty good personality and has decided to keep it as a pet.

After all, what bad intentions could a snake that has been living in seclusion for nearly a thousand years possibly have?

It was simply following the orders of the parsnip.

…………

In the Transformation class, today's lesson was to transform a living organism into a goblet.

Professor McGonagall demonstrated it once, and then let the young wizards practice on their own.

The young wizards used the creatures that Professor McGonagall had prepared in the classroom.

Only Ron brought his own rat, Scabbers.

To be precise, it's Peter the Pettigrew's Animagus.

Therefore, Ron's Transfiguration practice was much more tiring than that of the average young wizard.

After all, he was going to turn a person into a goblet, while the other little wizards only needed to practice on a small animal.

Just then, an explosion was heard behind Harry and Ron.

When everyone turned around, they found that the white mouse on his table had turned into a black mouse and was no longer moving.

There was also a smell of burnt feathers in the air.

This scene terrified Ron's spotted wine glass, causing it to revert back to its rat-like form.

Zicomo found it quite amusing from the seats behind.

If he remembered correctly, Harry and Seamus were in the same dormitory, right?

I wonder if Simo will cast spells in the dormitory.

If that were the case, the entire dormitory would probably be living in dire straits.

Hermione, who had already raised her Transfiguration skills to an advanced level, found it somewhat boring.

She raised her hand to Professor McGonagall.

"Professor, could you tell us about the locked room?"

If any other young wizard had made this request, Professor McGonagall might have told him to practice more.

The one who can ask the question is Hermione, the little witch who is excellent in both character and academics in her eyes.

Moreover, since learning that Zicomo had become Snape's apprentice, she has paid even more attention to Hermione.

After all, there are only one or two outstanding young wizards in the academy, and we can't let other professors snatch them away.

She nodded kindly and said, "Alright then, I'll tell you about it."

"As everyone knows, over a thousand years ago, four great founders established Hogwarts. They were Godric, Ravenclaw, Salazar, and others."

"Among them, the three founders got along very well, but the last one did not."

(Salarza: Slander! This is blatant slander!)

Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective in its admissions process, believing that magical education should be limited to magical families, that is, pure-blood wizards. However, the other three disagreed with him, and in a fit of anger, he left the school.

After listening to Professor McGonagall talk for so long without getting to the point, Hermione couldn't help but ask, "What about the Chamber of Secrets?"

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall got to the point.

"Regarding the Chamber of Secrets, it is said that Slytherin built a secret room in this castle, which is the so-called 'Chamber of Secrets'. He sealed the room before he left, waiting for his successor to return to the school."

"Only his successor can open this secret chamber. Once opened, the terrifying monster inside will annihilate all those whom Slytherin deems unworthy to learn magic."

"So, someone born into Muggle family?" Hermione added.

Professor McGonagall nodded, indicating that she was right.

Zicomo, however, has a different perspective on this.

Slytherin and the other three founders disagreed and eventually parted ways, which shows that he still cherished their past relationship.

He himself did not want to destroy the school he had built with his own hands.

So why would he want to kill all those Muggle-born wizards for no reason?

With so many new Muggle-born wizards emerging every year, how could he possibly kill them all?

His philosophy was simply pure-blood supremacy, and he wanted to ensure that pure-blood wizards held a supreme position.

This secret room was originally just a place he used to facilitate his students' practice of dark magic.

Later, he left the school and sealed off the secret room, presumably just to leave a legacy for future generations.

The idea that an heir would release monsters from a secret chamber to wipe out all those unworthy of learning magic is pure nonsense.

It was just that Voldemort himself had that idea.

If Slytherin had that intention, couldn't they have trained an heir outside?

Would a great wizard who founded Hogwarts really believe that a basilisk could wipe out all the Muggle-born wizards in the school?

Stop being funny!

How much trouble could a second-grade wizard with a phoenix cause the school?

Even if you can't find a phoenix, it shouldn't be difficult to gather a bunch of crowing roosters, right?

According to historical records, the crowing of a rooster can kill a basilisk.

Wait a minute, Zicomo suddenly thought of a question.

Since Slytherin has a legacy at Hogwarts, could the other three leaders also have one?

He kept this in mind and decided to investigate it thoroughly later.

By the time he came to his senses, Professor McGonagall was almost finished telling the story of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Of course, the school staff conducted several searches but did not find the existence of this secret room."

"So, what is that terrifying monster?"

Hermione was still wondering what exactly attacked Filch's cat last night.

"I don't know either, but it's said that only the true heir can control this monster."

Professor McGonagall shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

At this point, Ron subconsciously turned to look at Draco.

Although Draco didn't know why the man was suddenly looking at him, that didn't stop him from looking back with a mocking gaze.

This action led Ron to mistakenly believe that he was the heir, or that he knew who the real heir was.

"Alright, alright, that's enough about our extracurricular conversation. The monster's whereabouts are currently unknown, so please be extra careful."

After discussing the secret chamber, Professor McGonagall reminded the young wizard to be careful.

The pure-blooded Slytherin wizard was completely unconcerned about this.

They believed the monsters would never attack them; instead, they would help them eliminate the half-blood wizards they disliked.

"Although there are monsters roaming Hogwarts now, that's for the teachers to worry about. What you should be worried about is your studies. Your weekend assignment is to write a paper on 10-inch Transfiguration."

Professor McGonagall's casual remark diverted the attention of all the young wizards.

Everyone groaned in despair, no longer caring about whether it was a secret room or not.

Sure enough, in the end, it all comes down to not having enough homework.

If there's a lot of homework, do you think anyone will care about escape rooms?

Oh, it's not that there aren't any.

Harry, as one of the parties involved, still can't forget about this incident.

And then there's Hermione, who's incredibly curious about this whole thing.

After class, Harry pulled Ron aside and discussed the Chamber of Secrets with Hermione.

As for why Ron was brought along, isn't it normal for best buddies to be inseparable?

"Do you think the Chamber of Secrets really exists?" Harry asked.

"Of course, didn't you notice? All the teachers seemed a bit anxious and worried today."

As Hermione answered, she added in her mind, 'Except Lockhart.'

“If there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and it was opened, doesn’t that mean the heir to Slytherin has returned?” Harry continued.

"More than that, I'm curious about who this so-called heir is."

Hermione frowned and voiced her doubts.

The terrifying monster hasn't been found yet, and now another Slytherin heir has appeared.

Why does she feel like things are getting more and more confusing?
