Andy walked around the classroom.
It wasn't hard to notice that this place had been searched once if not many times.
Hermione was right.
Voldemort was not the first to open the Chamber of Secrets, he was just the first to use the basilisk to kill people.
So for all these years, while rumours of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets had been circulating at Hogwarts, they had never been confirmed - until sixty years ago.
This is when Voldemort lets Hagrid take the fall for him.
Come to think of it, Voldemort was a brilliant student in school, while Hagrid was an awkward half-blood giant.
From the chain of discrimination, no one would believe Hagrid except for a few people like Dumbledore.
Even if the evidence was obvious.
Andy didn't know exactly what kind of dangerous creatures Hagrid had kept back then, but Myrtle, who had been killed by a basilisk, wouldn't have been left with a wound on her body.
That's all it takes to put the blame on ...
"Hermione, did you find anything on your end?" Andy asked.
Andy had a good haul, the cabinets in the room held a lot of books and a lot of handwritten manuscripts.
Hermione raised the manuscript in her hand and laughed, "Not bad on my end, how about you?"
"Same!" Andy laughed.
It had to be said that the most important reason why Andy had such a great harvest was - that the people who had found this secret room were all Slytherin descendants.
Never mind what other people thought about Slytherin, the students of Slytherin House, and the descendants of Slytherin, absolutely admired Slytherin.
So Slytherin's descendants would never destroy this place.
They might take some things, but not all of them.
After finding all the books and manuscripts, Andy and Hermione came to the round table and sat down, placing the information together on the round table.
"That's all there is," Hermione said.
Hermione was happy, these could all be Slytherin research materials. For Hermione, who loved to learn, these books were just the most valuable things.
Only ...
Andy felt that Hermione would probably not be so excited when she finished reading the content on them.
These were research materials for magic transfiguration.
The research of magic transfiguration would not only involve a lot of human experimentation but would even study the organs of some magical creatures.
Calling Slytherin's research evil was not wronging him at all.
"It's already pretty good!" Andy said with satisfaction.
Casually picking up a book and flipping through it, Andy's face suddenly revealed a flash of embarrassment.
Old English was completely different from modern English, and the letters in the book looked much more abstract than the current ones.
I'm illiterate?
"What's wrong?" Hermione looked at Andy curiously.
"Have a look!" Andy handed the book to Hermione.
Hermione took it and looked at it, "Uh ... okay!"
Andy and Hermione looked at each other and both saw the look of helplessness in each other's eyes.
The two Hogwarts academic toppers couldn't read the contents of the book.
"Looks like we have to learn Old English first," Andy said helplessly.
"Leave this matter to me!"
Hermione looked at Andy and said, "You translated all those Chinese magic books for me, this time it's my turn to translate for you."
"Thank you! Hermione." Andy was truly relieved.
When learning English in his previous life, Andy already had a headache. If he were to learn Old English now, Andy felt that he might go crazy.
In this regard, Andy admitted that he was a school dud.
"Let's put the stuff here first!"
Andy proposed, "When we learn Old English, then we can come back and translate this information."
"Good!" Hermione, of course, had no objection.
After putting the books and manuscripts back in the cabinet, Andy and Hermione left the secret room and flew to the lavatory on their flying brooms.
When leaving the chamber of secrets, Andy didn't forget to bring the moulted skin back with him.
The moulted skin of the basilisk isn't quite valuable, but it should fetch a few hundred gold galleons as well.
"Hiss (Close)!"
Once the washbasin had merged, Andy waved his wand and opened the lavatory door.
Seeing that Hermione was about to head out with a big grin, Andy hastily pulled Hermione back, "Wait!"
"What?" Hermione looked back at Andy quizzically.
"Don't forget, we're on a night out," Andy said helplessly.
"Oh!" Hermione was immediately honest.
Taking out the Marauder's Map, Andy softly recited, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!"
With the Marauder's Map turned on, Andy once again grasped the whereabouts of everyone at Hogwarts.
"Filch is on the second floor!" Hermione exclaimed.
If Andy hadn't pulled her just now, she and Andy might have been caught red-handed by Filch.
It was good that Andy had experience.
Just ...
Hermione gave Andy an odd look, experiencing in night out was not a good thing.
Andy couldn't help but groan, "What bloody time is it, Filch is so dedicated! Has Dumbledore not considered giving him a pay rise?"
"You should write a letter to Professor Dumbledore and ask him to give Filch a raise." Hermione teased.
"Forget it!" Andy threw up his hands in surrender.
Andy would become a public enemy of the entire school if he did that.
"Centenarians insist on going to work, and serious and dedicated employees only get a small paycheck ..."
Andy continued to complain, "Hogwarts really isn't a good place to work."
"When I become Headmaster, I'm going to reform the Hogwarts system."
Especially, to solve the marriage problem of the professors.
How could all of them be single?
"Andy!"
Hermione suddenly exclaimed in a small voice, "Snape! Professor Snape isn't in the castle."
Seeing the marauder's map, Hermione remembered what Andy had once said about Snape leaving the castle late at night.
She took a special look at Snape's office and dormitory and found no Snape in either.
"Hmm?" Andy froze.
Snape has been pretty active lately!
Counting this one, Snape had left the castle three times, just from what Andy knew.
Two of those times had been late at night.
What exactly was Snape planning?
Andy cupped his chin and speculated, "Maybe Snape is planning to do something big."
Hermione whispered, "Andy, what should we do? Should we notify Professor Dumbledore?"
Inform Dumbledore?
Well, why don't you inform Harry and Ron! The two of them must be very interested.
"You think Dumbledore doesn't know?"
Andy said, "That would be what they're both planning."
"To deal with Voldemort?" Hermione asked.
"Uh-huh!"
Andy nodded and said, "Let's leave it at that and pretend we don't know. If you're interested, you can read the Daily Prophet."
"I have a feeling Snape might make a big news."
With that, Andy put the marauder's map in his coat pocket and waved his wand to conceal his figure.
"Let's Go! Let's go back to bed."
