From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

The temperature in the Scottish Highlands always drops faster than anywhere else in the British Isles.

But Hagrid's cabin is always warm as spring, and he keeps his fireplace burning brightly. Harry is roasting a fire and drinking tea with his big and small friends.

"It's been going crazy in the castle lately!" Ron told Hagrid vividly, "It's said that the recent bloody incidents are related to the Chamber of Secrets."

Hagrid rubbed his hands nervously, and was interrupted by Ron's words just as he was about to speak.

"But we think they are all rumors." Ron's words undoubtedly relieved Hagrid, "Maybe there really is a Chamber of Secrets, but it is definitely not the real cause of the recent events."

"Why... why?" Hagrid echoed.

"Because of the heir!" Ron said proudly, "There is no better heir to the Chamber of Secrets in the school than Ivy, but we all know that he disdains the pure-blood theory."

"And I guess the Chamber of Secrets may just be a place for Slytherin himself to study magic. There is no monster in it that can be used to purify the castle." Hermione pushed the rock cake in front of her a little further away without making a sound.

Hagrid was completely relieved and drank a large cup of tea.

He got up from the stool and called his friends: "Don't talk about the Chamber of Secrets, it's scary. I'll show you something interesting!"

"Interesting?" Harry got goose bumps on his body. The last time Hagrid mentioned something interesting was a dragon, what would it be this time?

It's a group of moon beasts.

Moon beasts are XX-level magical creatures, which means that the Ministry of Magic considers them harmless.

The fur of the moonbeast is very smooth and light gray. There is almost no transition between their heads and necks. They look cute. The most eye-catching thing is their big eyes, which always stare at the moon with piercing eyes. Therefore, the moonbeast is a nocturnal creature and only comes out of the cave at night.

They have four thin legs and four flat big feet below. They often make "biu~biu~" sounds when moving.

"They are so cute!" Hermione couldn't help but want to get closer, but these little animals immediately ran away like frightened ducks.

"Haha!" Hagrid laughed twice, "The moonbeast is a very shy creature. They are one of the first magical animals introduced to the "base". They are mainly used to provide fertilizer for Professor Sprout's greenhouse."

"Normally, the moonbeast will not appear during the day. They will dance in the moonlight, which is very interesting." Hagrid took out some feed and stuffed it into the hands of the three children.

"Hey! Look at it!" Harry pointed at a different fellow, whose fur was white with dark gray patches, and looked like the pattern of a cow, "Why does it look different from its companions?"

"It's wild." Hagrid took out a brush from his pocket, took a look and replied, "I never knew there were so many moonbeasts in the Forbidden Forest. A small half of them originally lived in the Forbidden Forest. One day when I came to collect feces, I suddenly found that there were more of them."

"Are we going to start learning about them next semester?" Hermione fed all the feed in her hand to a little one, turned around and asked, "This facility is really well built."

"You probably won't start until the third year." Hagrid said, "There are not many magical animals in the 'base' now, and Professor Keltborn and I can handle it, but next year, protecting magical animals will become a compulsory course at Hogwarts! Recently, Dumbledore is busy recruiting new professors!"

Ivy, who maintained the Disillusionment Charm, came to Myrtle's bathroom.

Ever since Harry asked him about the Chamber of Secrets, he would come here from time to time. Because he thought Harry was unlikely to listen to him. After all, in the original book, most of Harry's adventures were because he concealed some special circumstances from the professor and the headmaster.

For example, the pain of the scar in the first grade; the whispers of the basilisk when it roamed in the wall in the second grade; the fact that he could see some pictures through the connection with Voldemort in the fifth grade...

In view of these previous records, Ivy didn't believe that Harry would listen to him and stop investigating things related to the Chamber of Secrets. So he went out by himself to grasp their movements, and the Myrtle Bathroom, which was the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, was a place that needed special attention.

Ivy still remembered that Hermione brewed the Polyjuice Potion here in the original book, but because cat hair was added to the potion, the transformation failed and the whole person turned into a human cat.

Judging from the current situation, at least they have not thought about using the Polyjuice Potion to become Slytherin students.

There is a 1st level ritual spell called Alarm in Ivy's spell list, which can mark an area. Once a creature enters, an alarm will sound to alert the caster. This alarm can be either an audible alarm or a mental alarm. As long as the caster does not leave the alarm point for more than one mile, he can continue to receive feedback from the alarm.

Compared with the wizard's Alarm that Ivy cast on the basilisk, the advantage of this spell is that it is less likely to be discovered. After all, it is not as traceable as the wizard's spell. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The range of the Alarm is insufficient, and the duration is only 8 hours. Even if you use the ring-up spell, there is no way to overcome its alarm distance problem.

However, before Christmas, Ivy could indeed place the Ring Alarm at the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets. Because he had agreed with Dumbledore that he would go to Little Hangleton during the Christmas holidays to see if he could find anything.

Before that, Ivy would not leave Hogwarts, thus avoiding the possibility of the alarm failing.

Since he was already here, he might as well go to the Chamber of Secrets and take a look. By the way, he could get some materials from the basilisk to use as raw materials for making strange objects.

Since he got his father's invisibility cloak, Harry has been fascinated by night tours in the castle.

That night, he lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly, he remembered the three ghosts who talked to him in the armor. So he put on the invisibility cloak, avoided Filch and the professors on night patrol, and came to the third floor of the castle.

Carefully stepping over a puddle of water at the door of the girls' bathroom, Harry came to the front of the armor, looked around for a long time, and did not see any ghost fluorescence.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a strange voice from the girls' bathroom: "Open it."

Harry tiptoed to the wooden door with the "out of order" sign and quietly opened it a crack.

Looking through the crack in the door, there was no one inside, but for some reason, a big hole appeared where the sink belonged.

"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets!" Harry's mind was full of monsters in the Chamber of Secrets.

Originally, after a few friends' discussions, he no longer believed that there were really monsters in the Chamber of Secrets, and that they could survive for a thousand years, but now that he saw the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, Harry's heart was immediately filled with fear.

"I must tell the professor! Professor McGonagall... or Headmaster Dumbledore!" Harry thought.

"Wait... what if the heir of Slytherin is really Ivy?" Another question popped up in Harry's mind, "Maybe he is just studying magic... studying magic that requires a quiet environment... he is already over a hundred years old, he knows what he is doing..."

Before Harry could figure out the problem, he saw a mist floating out from the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets. The mist quickly gathered in the small bathroom and suddenly turned into a person.

Even though there was only a little bit of weak candlelight in the bathroom, it was enough for Harry to see his face clearly.

A sentence kept floating in Harry's mind: "Ivy is actually the heir of Slytherin!"

He also felt that it was reasonable for Ivy to be the heir of Slytherin. After all, he had saved Hogwarts from the hands of goblins more than a hundred years ago, and he also knew magical ancient magic. It must be difficult for Salazar Slytherin himself to refuse such an excellent heir if he was resurrected.

Ivy's face flashed under the dim candlelight and soon disappeared.

Harry realized that this was some kind of invisible magic, so he quickly made way from the door to avoid being hit by him.

The door of the bathroom was opened and then closed again.

Harry knew that Ivy had left, but he didn't know if he had been discovered.

Chaotic thoughts surged in Harry's mind, and he didn't know how he walked through the corridor and stairs and returned to bed.

…………

The next morning, Harry woke up with Wood shaking him vigorously.

Seeing Harry's horrified face, Wood explained: "No training today, but we have to go to the Quidditch field - there is a match between Slytherin and Ravenclaw. We can study their tactics! Especially you, Harry, keep an eye on Slytherin's seeker! Although Malfoy is a novice, the brooms under their butts are not easy to deal with."

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Slytherin! Slytherin!

Slytherin everywhere!

Harry looked away from Malfoy's green Quidditch uniform. He couldn't help thinking of Ivy.

On the one hand, he felt that he should tell the professor that Ivy was the heir of Slytherin, but on the other hand, he felt that he should not betray his friends. He was also worried that there would be more bloodshed in the castle, and he was afraid that he had actually misunderstood Ivy - that was not Slytherin's secret room at all, but another secret passage in the castle.

Harry's good brother Ron complained to him more than once about his twin brothers, saying that they knew all the secret passages in the castle, but never told him anything.

If what Harry saw last night was not the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, but a secret passage...

Harry watched the whole game absent-mindedly, and then immediately found his two good friends - Hermione and Ron.

"Is Ivy really the heir of Slytherin?" Ron had an expression that he had known for a long time, "No one else in Slytherin is more suitable."

"No - that's just my guess..." Harry corrected, "I mean, I saw him walk into a passage..."

"In the girls' bathroom?" Hermione asked her own question, "Did you see the monster?"

"What? No..." Harry shook his head.

"How wide is the passage? Is it similar to the gap in the wall of the underground classroom that was hit by the monster on Halloween?" Hermione continued to ask.

"Oh... I'm afraid it can't get in. It can only accommodate one person at most... something like a water pipe..." Harry recalled with a frown.

"It is highly likely that Ivy has nothing to do with the previous incident in the castle. We all know how big the beast that appeared in the dungeon is." Hermione analyzed calmly, "Maybe he just went there to do some magic research. As you know, he is always mysterious and often goes in and out of the restricted area of ​​the library. I asked Madam Pince, and she said that it was Professor Dumbledore who gave Ivy a note allowing him to borrow every book in the restricted area."

"I know what Ivy did there!" Ron suddenly shouted, "Raising dragons! Do you remember? Ivy once told us that he put Hagrid The dragon is kept in the castle! At first I was worried that it would burn down the castle! "

"Yes!" Harry was also happy, "It's been so long, I forgot about it. This makes perfect sense! Hagrid didn't want to send the dragon away, and Ivy happened to know a secret chamber, so they kept the dragon in it! I can't believe Hagrid never told us about this!"

"Maybe even Hagrid doesn't know where the dragon is hidden." Hermione said seriously, "Hagrid can't hide anything at all. Think about Nicolas Flamel last year."

Harry and Ron had to admit that Hermione was right.

In the following days, they never worried about the secret chamber and Ivy again.

Especially Harry, Quidditch training almost occupied all his spare time, Wood became more and more crazy, making them fly in the storm, and sometimes there was even lightning in the sky.

But the hard training obviously paid off. In the game against Slytherin, they miraculously won a big victory. In less than five minutes after the start, Harry had caught the golden snitch, and Malfoy didn't even have time to see where it was.

This victory made Gryffindor's score soar, especially this year the Weasley twins were particularly well behaved.

This made Gryffindor the first place in the ranking of the House Cup for the first time.

"It's just temporary!" Malfoy said angrily at the hourglass of the House Cup.

Harry passed by him happily: "If it weren't for your encouragement, I'm afraid I wouldn't have caught the Golden Snitch."

"You! Don't be too happy too soon! Potter!"

Seeing Malfoy's distorted face, Harry couldn't help laughing out loud.

He began to understand why Malfoy always liked to bully others, sometimes it was really refreshing.

Harry's good mood lasted for almost a week until Professor McGonagall came to collect the list of students who stayed at school for Christmas.

He, Ron and Hermione all signed on it, and then they walked through the hall and saw a group of people surrounding the notice board in the hall.

"Lockhart wants to start a dueling club!" Seamus said, "Can he really do it? Even Professor Victor didn't do that. Obviously, his dueling skills are so high!"

"I'm afraid I can't do it, kids." Lockhart's voice came from the door, and everyone turned around and was surprised.

I have never seen Lockhart so embarrassed. His usually brilliant robes became tattered, his body and face were covered with blood, and his golden hair was like a bird's nest. Harry noticed that there was a particularly scary wound on his arm, and the flesh was turned outward!

I'm afraid the only thing that hasn't changed is his eight shining white teeth: "Can you take me to the school hospital?"

After saying that, he fell down.
