Hogwarts White Knight

Although it has been decided to solve the Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk before Dumbledore is kicked out of Hogwarts.

But what he actually really needs to do is.

Just find the location of the secret room.

Gawain was not prepared to act like a fool, holding a wand and rushing into the secret room to fight Quirrell and Riddle.

As for the basilisk that has been trapped in the waterway by Professor Dumbledore? After draining the water for half a day, the problem could be solved by asking Hagrid to bring a team of roosters.

Basilisks are extremely afraid of roosters, which is a fatal threat to them.

The location of the secret room is actually not difficult to find.

Quirrell's whereabouts have revealed too many clues. And no matter where that thing is hidden, there must be a passage to the bathroom on the fourth floor.

But the real danger is that there is probably a Quirrell hidden in the secret room now, as well as Riddle stuck to the back of his head.

So, given the choice.

Gawain hopes to avoid finding his way through the fourth-floor bathroom.

After leaving the principal's office on the eighth floor, Gawain did not go back directly to Gryffindor Tower, but went straight down to the dungeon.

more specifically.

It's in front of the Potions Master's office in the dungeon.

Snape was not hospitable, so much so that Gawain knocked on the door for five or six minutes before he saw his displeased face and wet hair.

Even so, when he heard Gawain's request for help, he agreed very enthusiastically.

"How on earth does this old bat know how many diaries I still have in my hand?"

Walking on the stairs, Gawain thought very puzzlingly.

Snape stared at him.

Like a hungry wolf, shining brightly!

After calling away the Fat Lady, Gawain returned to the Gryffindor common room and saw Hermione sitting by the fire with a big bag, waiting for him.

This gave him a sudden bad feeling.

"Gawain, Fred and George said you bought all the saltpeter from Zuko. Do you want to blow up the entire Hogwarts!"

Hermione frowned high, she stared at Gawain and whispered, as if if he couldn't give a reliable reason, she would throw the entire bag of saltpeter into the fireplace.

"of course not!"

Gawain shook his head violently.

He just wanted to blow up a few...a bathroom.

"Jane, do you know Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

When faced with an angry Hermione, the effectiveness of an excuse is never as effective as the convenience of changing the subject.

"It is said that he stayed before Slytherin left Hogwarts, right? He wanted to be more careful and strict when selecting students for Hogwarts. He believed that magic could only be taught to pure wizard families.

Slytherin didn't like Muggle-born students and thought they were untrustworthy, and even had a quarrel with Gryffindor over this. Legend has it that he left some weapons inside that could..."

Hermione undoubtedly memorized all the information about the Chamber of Secrets, speaking almost without pause.

The parts she didn't say speak for themselves.

——Eliminate the little wizards who were born from ordinary people.

"Then what if I say that these saltpeters may help us find the entrance to the secret room?"

Gawain blinked.

They sat on the couch in front of the fire, with two thick stacks of books in front of them. Regardless of whether they were useful or not, relevant or not, at least they were put there first.

"No, there is no mention of a secret room at all.

What we know now is that Tom Riddle once received a special contribution award, right? But why did he get that medal? You know, he doesn't seem like such a helpful person? "

Hermione flipped through Hogwarts: A History, but was sure there wouldn't be anything valuable there because she had already seen it too many times.

She scratched her messy hair and said irritably.

"Maybe we can take a look, what else happened that year? Fifty years ago...it is said here that a girl died due to an accident, and a student was

Expelled from Hogwarts. "

Gawain followed her thoughts and looked up the school calendar. It was something he had entrusted Hermione to borrow from the library when he wanted to check out Qi Luo's background.

"Girl? What's her name?"

Hermione asked casually.

"Myrtle Elizabeth Warren."

etc? "

"Moaning Myrtle?!"

They shouted in unison.

After surviving the classes the next morning, Gawain and Hermione went to the abandoned bathroom on the second floor. Traveling with them was an owl.

That was for "Professor Snape flying in."

Pushing open the ajar door, Gawain looked at the bathroom carefully. This place is actually not much different from the boys' place. There is a huge washbasin in the center.

It consists of eight trapezoidal white porcelain basins clustered like petals. Above the white porcelain basins is a regular hexagonal decorative top.

"Is this? Is it broken?"

Gawain found the design of a small winding snake on one of the dragon heads. He tried to twist away, but no water came out.

On the corner of the mirror behind the faucet, the strange name "Corvinus Gaunt" was engraved.

"You're here again! Are you here to find me?"

In the toilet behind Gawain, a wet ghost suddenly appears. She is naturally Moaning Myrtle.

"Of course...yeah."

Gawain subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Hermione gave him a sharp look and asked him to "think about it" again.

His words undoubtedly pleased Myrtle.

She even jumped out of the toilet bowl and gave Gawain a hug.

"Myrtle, your last name is Warren, right?"

Gawain tried his best not to tremble, and took a step back to speak. Being penetrated by a ghost felt like being immersed in ice water, it was astonishingly cold.

Myrtle nodded.

"I want to ask you..."

Gawain racked his brains to think of words, but he couldn't think of how to say "how did you die" elegantly and decently!

"How did you die?"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and took over.

But Myrtle's whole appearance changed, and she looked as if she had never been asked a question so agreeable to her.

"It was really scary."

she said in a high voice, looking interested.

“This is what happened, I died in this small room, I remember it clearly.

I hid because boys kept making fun of my glasses. I locked the door and was crying when I heard someone come in.

He said something strange, I guessed it must be in a foreign language, but it was definitely a boy. So I opened the door, told him to use his bathroom, and then—"

Myrtle emphasized triumphantly, her face beaming with glory, "I am dead."

"How did you die?"

Gawain and Hermione looked at each other.

"I don't know," Myrtle suddenly changed her tone to a calmer tone, "I just remember that I saw a pair of huge yellow eyes, so big.

My whole body felt like it was lifted up, and then, I floated away." She looked at Gawain infatuatedly, "Then, I came back again. "

"Right there!"

Myrtle pointed at the faucet that Gawain felt was a little strange from the beginning.

Everything makes sense.

The Chamber of Secrets is hidden in the sewers of Hogwarts, and this is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

And Gawain was very convinced that even if there was a protective spell in this bathroom, it was added later and not from Slytherin's hand.

Because the sewer system of Hogwarts is the result of learning from Muggle architecture hundreds of years ago, even the great Salazar Slytherin could not have foreseen this.
