Chapter 76 The Secret Room That Was Opened 50 Years Ago
"The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been opened again."

Cavill asked drunkenly.

"You should know the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, right?"

Sherlock said casually.

"The founder of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, disagreed with the other three founders. He believed that Muggle-born students were not worthy of entering Hogwarts to learn magic, so he built a secret room to hide the terrifying monsters. In it, wait for his successor to open the secret room and clean the entire castle."

He blinked and stared at Carvel.

"How do you know the Chamber of Secrets is now open?"

Cavill ate the steak with a very heroic posture. He directly used the fork to pick up the whole steak, and it was a third of it in one bite.

"My grandson is in the sixth grade at Hogwarts. Although the great wizard Dumbledore has been suppressing things and not spreading them, some things are not easy to do."

Sherlock thought for a moment, and it seemed to him that there was indeed a Hufflepuff student named Cavill in the sixth grade.

"But why do you say again? When was the Chamber of Secrets opened before?" Sherlock asked softly.

Cavill smiled smugly.

"Haha, this is a little-known thing, although they always say that every time I drink, I have to brag about it."

He ate the remaining steak into his stomach in two or three mouthfuls, smacked his mouth twice, and began to narrate with a rich accent.

"About 50 years ago, um~ maybe not so long, my memory has begun to deteriorate, and I can't remember exactly when. But at that time, Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, was just a An ordinary transfiguration professor."

"That year, the mysterious man didn't know where he was playing with mud, and there was an endless attack in Hogwarts."

"A student died because of this, and there was a great commotion, and the students in the entire castle were very disturbed. They all said that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened, and someone had released the monsters that Slytherin hid in the castle. , ready to start cleaning the entire campus."

It was the first time for Sherlock to know that this year was not the first time that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened, it had already happened once in history.

He frowned slightly, then asked.

"and then?"

"Then the matter was resolved suddenly." Cavill shrugged, "No one knows why, but the headmaster at the time suddenly announced that the student's death was just an accident. There were no further attacks, although Hogwarts expelled a student that term."

"Did the attack stop after the student was expelled?"

"It's just what you think, Watson." Cavill's voice gradually became lower and lower, "As long as you use your brain a little, you can guess that the student who was expelled must have something to do with the Chamber of Secrets."

Sherlock's attention was completely concentrated, he didn't expect that he just came out to attend a cram school, and he could still learn about this.

"What's that student's name?"

Cavill had a belch, and it could be seen that he used this incident to brag a lot, and he remembered everything clearly.

"That student was expelled from Hogwarts 50 years ago, but even now he has not left Hogwarts, and Dumbledore still trusts him. I always feel that Dumbledore's sense of Vision is very problematic."

He didn't continue to show off, and said a name with a mouth full of alcohol.

"Rubus Hagrid, the current Hogwarts keykeeper, gamekeeper, and Dumbledore's loyal follower."

Hearing this name, Sherlock was stunned.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and asked with a solemn expression.

"How do you know these things?"

At this time, Cavill was drinking heavily, and the whole person had already begun to feel drowsy.

"How do I know? Rubeus Hagrid was my classmate back then! Speaking of which, he's actually not bad. He's always interested in those weird animals."

At the back, his voice had begun to become lisp.

But the most important thing Sherlock has already understood, and he is not in the mood to continue listening to what he has to say later.

It never occurred to him that the matter of the Chamber of Secrets had something to do with Hagrid, because of Hagrid's appearance and character, no one could associate him with the identity of the heir of Slytherin.

Sherlock stood up from the chair, and Cavill's snoring sounded in his ears.

He took out the remaining balance of tuition fees from his pocket and put it on the dining table.

A day of teaching is certainly not worth so much money, but what I learned from him is worth it!
Cavill obviously wants to make friends with him, but Sherlock must not reveal his true identity to him, so he will pay the money that should be paid, and everyone will owe nothing in the future.

He didn't stay in the hut any longer, and he didn't intend to use Floo powder to return the same way.

Sherlock walked to the place where the apparition was practiced in the morning, and chanted the spell directly.

"Apparation."

His body disappeared in the cold wind, and the next second, he reappeared in a secluded alley in the remote town of Hogsmeade.

Sherlock took off his disguise in the alley, put his glasses in his pocket at the same time, and finally walked out of the alley.

When he hurried to the main road of Hogsmeade, he ran into several professors walking together.

"Oh, Sherlock? When did you come out?"

The person who asked the question was Professor Sprout, and she was accompanied by Professor Sinistra, Professor of Astronomy, and Bubaji, Professor of Muggle Studies.

After returning to Hogsmeade, Sherlock's face returned to coldness, and he replied calmly.

"This morning, I went to the Owl Post Office to do some things."

Sinista, the astronomy professor, is a black woman, and she invites Sherlock.

"We're going to the Three Broomsticks for afternoon tea, would you like to come with us?"

Sherlock originally wanted to refuse subconsciously, but then he changed his mind and agreed again.

Afternoon tea with a few female professors, especially when Sherlock's "character" is cold, there is nothing to talk about during this period.

He just sat in the bar for about two hours, then got up to say goodbye to Professor Sprout and the others, and returned to the castle.

On Saturday afternoon, many junior students were frolicking in the corridor.

Sherlock didn't go back to his office, but went straight to a stone monster at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

"I want to see Professor Dumbledore."

The stone monster didn't reply immediately, it seemed to be asking about the attitude of the people in the office, and then it got a response and made way for Sherlock.
