Chapter 51 Receiving the Bounty
Sure enough, under Hermione's careful observation, she suddenly found a snake-shaped carving on a faucet in the bathroom...
A look of surprise flashed in Hermione's eyes, obviously there must be a connection between this place and the Chamber of Secrets.

You know, the symbol of Slytherin is the snake, so this serpentine sculpture must have its magic.

However, after investigating here, Hermione can only guess that this is the entrance to the secret room.But there was nothing he could do to open the secret room.

Because the seal here was obviously left by Slytherin. Although Hermione could notice something unusual after turning on her spirit vision and observing carefully, she was still powerless to undo the magic left by Slytherin.

"How did the mysterious man open the secret room back then?"

Hermione finally muttered, her mind analyzing the peculiarities of You-Know-Who.

Soon, a strange color flashed in Hermione's eyes, and she exclaimed:
"It's Parseltongue! Slytherin was also Parseltongue back then, so the secret room he left behind can only be opened by Parseltongue. The Mysterious Man also has Parseltongue, so it was only 50 years ago that he was able to open the secret room and get the secret room left by Slytherin." Treasure!"

Not only that, but Hermione also thought of Harry, who could also speak Parseltongue, and if he was allowed to come, he would definitely be able to open the Chamber of Secrets.

At the same time, Hermione couldn't help thinking, did Dumbledore also find the Chamber of Secrets back then?William once said that Dumbledore also mastered Parseltongue through learning, so is it because of the Chamber of Secrets that prompted Dumbledore to master Parseltongue?

Such speculation flashed through Hermione's mind, but soon she didn't care.

Because they will soon be able to get the reward of three thousand gold Galleons.

It's not that Hermione is very greedy for money, the Granger family is still very rich.

However, being born in an ordinary family, there is no extra wizard currency at all.And there are also countless gold galleons exchanged for pounds every year. Obviously, this is also a means for pure-blood nobles to restrict Muggle-born wizards.

Although both William and Hermione have special abilities, and William's wealth blessing, they also have no shortage of Galleons, but these Galleons cannot be used openly.

Such a "restricted" life left William and Hermione without even a single pet.

Although Hermione has long been envious of the ugly and cute cat in the magical animal store, but has no money to buy it.

This time they received a bounty of three thousand galleons, how can they be called rich people with assets of thousands of dollars, and buying pets or materials and medicinal materials in Diagon Alley can be justified.

And with a start-up fund, William can start burning money to learn alchemy in an open and honest manner, and develop towards the direction of a master alchemist, and Hermione can also buy medicinal materials to study potions, and develop towards a master of potions.

There will also be a lot of luck in the future. Although William may not care about these luck at that time, the help to Hermione will be even greater in the future, and it can also become an anchor to stabilize Hermione's humanity.

This is also one of the important reasons why William didn't do it himself in the search for the Chamber of Secrets this time, but let Hermione take the limelight.Let Hermione leave a strong mark on her Hogwarts school days, and make her future anchor more stable.

With the excitement of getting three thousand Galleons, Hermione came to the auditorium of Hogwarts Castle.

It happened to be dinner time at this time, and Headmaster Dumbledore happened to be there.

Hermione immediately ran to Principal Dumbledore and said:

"Principal Dumbledore, I found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets!"

Dumbledore's eyes flickered. In fact, he knew that Hermione and the others had already investigated Myrtle and the bathroom on the second floor through the portrait of the castle. He was not surprised by Hermione's arrival.

Dumbledore took a deep look at Hermione and asked:
"Miss Granger, can you satisfy my old man's curiosity? Why are you suddenly keen on finding Slytherin's secret room? I remember that you were not interested in these rumors before!"

Hermione looked at Dumbledore upon hearing this, and said with some embarrassment:

"William and I want to learn potions and alchemy, and both need a lot of materials, so..."

Dumbledore nodded when he heard the words, and then praised:

"As expected of a little genius in Ravenclaw, I really love learning!"

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words. It is very difficult to lie in front of Dumbledore. If William hadn't used the money of the heavens to protect Hermione in advance, Dumbledore's old fox would definitely find out the problem.

Then Dumbledore got up and said:

"Well, I just happened to find them all. After opening the secret room, your reward of three thousand gold Galleons will be given to you!"

Said and winked at Hermione!
Of course, Dumbledore was very clear about the reward of three thousand gold Galleons.And after all the forces came to Hogwarts, he must also abide by the rules set by Dumbledore.

So this bounty is naturally for everyone to come out together, and finally everyone will open the secret room together.

Anyway, Dumbledore knew that there was no Slytherin treasure in the Chamber of Secrets, and these people would get nothing in the end.And everyone going out together also reduces their losses, saving them from doing bad things to the little wizard who found the secret room.

This was also one of the reasons why William asked Hermione to receive the reward. After all, if Dumbledore disagreed, using the Chamber of Secrets entrance to receive the reward would be a betrayal of Hogwarts.That way, the impression points in front of the principal will plummet, which is not beautiful.

Finally, under Dumbledore's call, the pure-blood nobles and Fudge's confidantes all came to the girls' bathroom on the second floor, and saw the faucet with the snake-shaped carving.

Hermione pointed to the faucet and said:
"This is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets!"

A confidant of Fudge sneered and said:

"Little girl, are you crazy about Jin Jialong! Can a snake-shaped carving represent the entrance to the secret room?"

Hermione glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, then took a deep breath and said:

"I've checked the information. Back then, Slytherin was a Parseltongue, so only a Parseltongue can open this secret room!"

The man was choked suddenly, while the others frowned.

After all, no one here can speak Parseltongue, and there is no way to verify that this is the real entrance to the secret room.

Instead, Principal Dumbledore smiled and said:
"There is a little wizard in our school who can speak Parseltongue, but are you going to let him open the secret room for you?"

Suddenly someone frowned, but after looking at Dumbledore, he could only speak:
"Principal Dumbledore is talking about Harry Potter, right? What do you think we need to give him in return?"

Dumbledore blinked and smiled:
"Since you are willing to pay three thousand Galleons just to find the entrance, you won't be stingy compared to letting someone open the secret room!"

Everyone's faces turned ugly, it turned out that Dumbledore was waiting for them here!This was obviously to force them to give Harry another three thousand Galleons, how could there be such a money grab.

Then Dumbledore emphasized:
"I hope you can keep your promise, but I have something to say first. Regardless of whether you have gained anything in the secret room, you still have to give the Galleons that should be given to these little wizards, otherwise..."

However, their greed for Slytherin's treasure still blinded their eyes, and they gritted their teeth and agreed immediately.
