"This class is History of Magic, and we study facts, not Legends, Miss Hope."
Hermione didn't mind that the Professor called her by the wrong name.
But when he resumed his lecture, the stubborn Miss Know-It-All raised her right hand again.
"Oh, Miss Samantha, do you have any questions?"
"It's Granger, Professor, and I think Legends are based on a certain foundation, so please tell us about the Legend of the Chamber of Secrets."
Usually when facing her studies, Hermione will be very stubborn and even Lucas can't do anything about her when she gets like this.
So Lucas looked at poor Professor Binns with pity.
It will be up to him next.
Each time Cuthbert Binns refused to answer the Chamber of Secrets questions, Hermione would always hold up her right hand when the other was giving a lecture.
And Cuthbert Binns seems to be dead set.
Every time he sees someone raise their hand, he will stop and ask.
In the end there was really no other way.
This old ghost who has been a professor of the history of magic since the founding of Hogwarts finally put down the notes in his hand.
"Okay, since you want to hear it, I'll talk about it."
As soon as these words came out, the classroom immediately became lively.
Cuthbert Binns looked up at the ceiling and muttered, "The Chamber of Secrets...let me think."
"This matter started more than a thousand years ago. Everyone should know that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was jointly established by the Big Four."
Seeing the little wizards nodded.
He continued: "A thousand years ago the muggles were terrified of people with Extraordinary powers, they called them wizards, and they persecuted them."
"In order to protect wizards from persecution, the Big Four decided to set up a magic school."
"The Hogsmeade village close-by was also established at the same time, with the same purpose, to provide a place for adult wizards who fled everywhere to live."
Waiting until the little wizards digest and absorb the knowledge he kept going.
"Then it's the Chamber of Secrets."
"After the establishment of the school, there was a period of peace and harmony, but the ideas of the four Founders still clashed."
"Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin House, said that only young wizards of pure blood should be recruited, because Muggle-born wizards are not very reliable."
Speaking of this, Lucas nodded involuntarily.
In that feudal period, when wizards appeared in Muggle families, it was easy to be exposed.
If the location of Hogwarts was revealed, the hard work of the Founders would have been ruined.
Salazar Slytherin was not wrong in his thinking.
To protect himself and his students wisely, he just chose the safest possible route.
The presentation by Cuthbert Binns continues.
Most people are familiar with what happened next, Salazar had a big fight with the other three and left the castle alone.
But what most don't know is that before leaving, he built a secret room without telling the other three.
It is said that he kept a monster in the chamber.
When the heir appears and the chamber of secrets is opened, the monster will come out to clean up the school.
The story is over and the faces of the little wizards were filled with unsatisfactory expressions.
"Professor, what is that monster?"
Parvati Patil suddenly raised her hand and asked.
"Oh~ I don't know, it may be an object or some kind of magical creature, okay Miss Smith, let's get back to business."
The boring and tedious History of Magic continues making everyone feel drowsy.
The History of Magic class ended, and on the way to the Great Hall, Hermione still couldn't stop thinking about the Chamber of Secrets.
This is a very dangerous signal, so Lucas clasped the little witch's shoulders with both hands.
Staring into her eyes, he said earnestly: "Hermione, I have no objection if it's just to find information, but it's limited to information, understand?"
Hermione nodded and asked, "I guess you must know what's in the Chamber of Secrets."
Lucas didn't hide and seeing him nod, Hermione's eyes lit up.
"NO! I can't say it now, if I tell you, won't you lose interest in the investigation?"
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be the case.
Hermione took a deep breath and said, "In a month, I will definitely find the answer."
"Remember not to leave the dormitory at night, it is very dangerous and life-threatening."
"Okay."
After enjoying a great dinner Lucas said goodbye to Hermione and Cho.
When he returned to the dormitory, he was not idle.
Looking at the diadem of Ravenclaw in his hand, Lucas wondered when he would go to Ravenclaw's common room.
But to his consternation, many young eagles do not sleep at night and they love to read books under the star dome in their common room.
If he opens the door of Ravenclaw rashly, he's afraid it will attract the attention of others.
Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, a meow caught Lucas' attention.
Watching Crookshanks coming in through the door immediately got Lucas interested.
"How did you come in?"
Picking up the big fat cat, Lucas noticed the uneasiness in the cat's eyes.
Crookshanks is part kneazle so he is sensitive to danger.
It might have sensed something threatening to itself in the castle and that's why I came to find Lucas.
What could that be, the answer should be obvious, the Basilisk!
"That is to say, the basilisk woke up again and left the secret room along the pipe?"
Lucas stroked his chin.
He put Crookshanks on the bed, tore open the space and left the dormitory.
That being the case, let him help out and make things even more confusing.
Hogwarts at night is full of mysteries, attracting countless curious students to explore, but that doesn't include the Hufflepuff Badgers.
At least in recent years no student from Hufflepuff House has ever been caught on a night out.
However, not being caught doesn't mean they don't travel at night.
In fact, the number of night tours of Hufflepuff students are far more than those of other Houses.
It's just that the location they chose for the night tour is very close, which is the Hogwarts kitchen next door.
Susan Bones crawled out of the barrel rubbing her belly because she ate only a little for dinner.
The reason is that she is promoting that she is losing weight recently.
However, every night she would go to the kitchen to steal food.
So after two weeks passed, the young wizards at Hufflepuff House discovered that Susan Bones was not getting any thinner.
"Oh my God, I'm really starving to death."
"Susan!"
Susan, who was about to open the kitchen door, suddenly stopped.
She looked into the dark corner and asked softly, "Who's there?"
"Susan~"
The voice came from the corner again.
The voice was hoarse, low, ethereal, and it sounded creepy as hell.
Susan reached for her wand, but took it out too quickly and the wand accidentally fell to the floor.
She knows that terrible things are happening at school recently, just didn't expect to be so unlucky.
"Susan, come here!"
"You, who are you?"
Susan had tears in her eyes as she retreated step by step towards the dormitory.
Just when she was passing a dark corner, suddenly, a black shadow rushed in front of her.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of red vertical pupils appeared in Susan's line of sight.
After that she doesn't know anything.
Because Susan Bones has been petrified by the Eye of Medusa.
The hood of the black robe was taken off, and Lucas smiled at Susan who remained terrified and fell to the ground.
'It's okay for Muggleborns to be afraid, but to me it's better if pure-bloods are also afraid.'
This girl's aunt is Director Amelia. As the Director of the Law Enforcement Department, she will not let her niece be attacked without doing anything in response.
Lucas chuckled knowing no one could have seen him, tore open the space and left again.
In other words, there is not even a portrait between Hufflepuff and the kitchen.
Did Dumbledore despise Hufflepuff that much?
Not long after Lucas left, a young Muggleborn wizard was petrified on the second floor of the castle.
Soon, two petrified people were found.
Dumbledore and the professors immediately rushed to the infirmary to check the situation.
…
(Forbidden forest.)
While Dumbledore was busy preparing for the troubles that lay ahead.
Lucas, however, wandered around the Forbidden Forest.
As long as he finds a magical creature, he will immediately leave a space imprint on the spot.
After a while he had collected a lot of achievement points.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new achievement: exploring the home of the horned snake; reward: 100 achievement points.]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new achievement: get to know the demiguise; reward: 100 achievement points.]
[…]
An hour later, Lucas found that there seemed to be fewer and fewer magical creatures nearby.
This is obviously not in line with common sense.
Normally, the depths of the deep forest should be a paradise for animals, unless there is some powerful creature that drives away the nearby magical creatures.
Walking a few hundred meters forward, Lucas reached out and tore off the White spider silk on the trunk of a tree.
"It turned out to be hiding here!"
The wand instantly appeared in the palm of his hand.
Lucas stepped forward, following the direction of the spider silk.
After a while, he saw a very large underground cave entrance.
Walking into the cave and sure enough, he saw Aragog's figure.
"You, it's you again?"
Aragog's voice was full of panic.
The fire from last time is still vivid in his memory.
Not waiting for it to say anything else, a green light flew out from Lucas' wand.
