Hogwarts Homecoming

Chapter 88: The Chamber of Secrets (Part 2)

Dumbledore and Amosta reached a consensus that they were going to explore the huge hole in Slytherin's face, but they had a little disagreement about Harry's fate.

Dumbledore seems to think that it is not something simple that Salazar Slytherin, one of the great creation giants, should use a basilisk to guard. There may be unimaginable dangers in the cave, Harry It's just a little wizard who is underage, and he doesn't have the ability to deal with unknown dangers yet.

"No one is born to face everything calmly, Headmaster Dumbledore,"

Amosta glanced at Harry, who was a little downcast, and said meaningfully,

"If you want young people to grow up as quickly as possible, you must give them more opportunities to experience—"

In the end, Headmaster Dumbledore followed Amostar's reasonable advice.

"You have to promise me,"

Dumbledore looked at Harry solemnly and said, "If you are in danger later, and Professor Bryan and I give you the instruction to escape, will you obey our order?"

"I promise, Headmaster Dumbledore!"

Although Dumbledore's statement hurt Harry's self-esteem a bit, but when he thought that he could go on an unknown adventure with two powerful wizards, Harry's mood was as light as flying, and, in his heart Nor did he believe that with Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Bryan standing in front of him, there was any danger that could harm his life.

"Even if ten Voldemorts appeared together, it would not be possible!"

When Dumbledore and Amosta stepped up the stairs, Harry secretly grinned and thought, although it must be very late now, and although he has already experienced a legendary battle tonight, Harry His spirit was still incomparably excited, but his excitement only lasted until the moment he stepped into the cave from the stairs and it ended completely.

The corridor at the entrance of the cave is not as winding and long as they imagined, but the bones of various animals piled up on the ground are twice as large as the stone tunnel after coming down from the pipe before. The sound of all kinds of weathered bones breaking into slag can be clearly heard.

The further you go, the more intense the bloody smell in the air. This bloody smell also comes from the bones on the ground. Harry has already seen bloody gray scalps attached to the skulls of many mice, as well as piled up like hills. The hairy legs of a spider.

"well--"

For some reason, Dumbledore let out a heavy sigh, but facing Amosta's probing gaze, he just shook his head, but didn't say much.

The three of them walked around a corner and continued along the road cleared by the basilisk swimming track for a distance of less than half a mile. Then, the scene in the tunnel gradually changed.

The golden torches, spaced thirty feet apart, were distributed along the left and right walls of the tunnel, and their steady heat scorched the damp stone walls and dried the ground.

The air became fresh, there were no more bones on the ground, and even dust and cobwebs could not be seen. Harry even felt that this place was comparable to the corridors in the castle maintained by Filch.

"Tsk tsk--"

Amosta stood in front of a torch, staring at the burning flames, and sincerely admired, "Gublai fairy fire is extravagant Slytherin!"

Harry, who finally got out of the sea of ​​bones, let out a long sigh of relief, and then heard Professor Bryan's admiration with a little awe. He looked at Dumbledore, hoping to get an explanation.

"The Gublai fairy fire is the eternal fire, very precious, because it can never be extinguished--"

Dumbledore looked at the indistinct number of torches with admiration and said gently, "It takes a lot of magic power to make this kind of fairy fire. As far as I know, no one has been able to make such a large number of eternal flames in one go. "

Harry gasped, he understood the value of these bronze torches, but at the same time, he was a little unhappy, because he heard something wrong with Slater from the tone of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Brain. Lin's compliments.

As the founder of the house that Harry hated the most out of the four houses, and at the same time, the Chamber of Secrets left behind has caused so much trouble for himself this year, it is impossible for Harry to have much affection for Salazar Slytherin .

"Maybe Gryffindor is more powerful -" Harry muttered under his breath.

The firelight dyed Dumbledore's silvery eyebrows and beard red, he laughed when he heard Harry's dissatisfied complaints, he extinguished the fluorescent light of his wand, stood in front of everyone and walked forward first.

The tunnel became more and more spacious, and at the end of the line of sight, there was a steady and bright light. Amosta had a serious expression, and he clenched his wand and followed in strides.

As they gradually approached, the deepest secret hidden in this secret room buried deep underground was finally revealed!

This is a huge cave, about the size of three or four Quidditch pitches, with a top of the cave more than 300 feet high and rows of stalactite forests, with many rough and huge circles sticking out suddenly Shaped stone pillars, those stone pillars arranged in a certain order are similar in color to Hogwarts Castle, as if they should be the load-bearing pillars supporting the entire castle!

"too crazy."

There is a whistling wind in the air, and the mysterious voice is like history singing the praises of the years.

Amosta looked around the walls of the huge cave, and the ancient torches that were placed at intervals murmured in shock. Those torches emitting constant light reflected the entire cave like daylight. At the same time as it is bright, the powerful magic magnetic field radiated is also resisting all positioning spells.

"It's hard to imagine how powerful Slytherin's magic power is, which allows him to squander it so much. No wonder that basilisk can survive for thousands of years. In such a rich magic power environment, I am afraid that any creature can have a magic power longer than the original. Thirty or fifty years of life"

Harry, who lacked a substantial understanding of the difficulty of making the Gublai Immortal Flame, couldn't appreciate Professor Brian's shock. However, the desolation soaked in time filled the cave full of strange-shaped stone cones and stalactites in front of him. And the grandeur still left him speechless.

"Yes, great Slytherin—"

Dumbledore was also surprised by the scene in front of him, and expressed similar emotion,

"However, what I'm more curious about is the purpose of Salazar Slytherin in building this chamber of secrets."

Amosta retracted his gaze and nodded. He turned around and looked at Harry, who was intoxicated and unearthly, and issued a warning.

"Now it seems that what is hidden in this chamber of secrets may be shocking to the world, Potter, remember to be vigilant."

Harry nodded slightly, but his curious eyes were still darting around.

He looked at the deep ravines on the undulating ground, and stared at the dark stone cones. Suddenly, Harry was taken aback, and he stared in a certain direction with wide eyes, and waited until he confirmed what he was looking for. After seeing what he saw, Harry's face suddenly turned pale, and he cried out in shock,

"Principal Dumbledore, Professor Bryan, there is someone there!"
