Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

In the underground passage without a ray of light, human eyes have lost their original function.

At the same time, there is no sound at all here. People who stay here for a long time can only hear the sound of their own breathing and heartbeat.

Locking people here alone is not much more comfortable than being locked up in Azkaban.

Walking alone in such an environment, a person needs to beware of possible enemies in the dark, which requires a strong psychological quality.

Although wearing goggles with night vision function allowed him to see the surrounding road clearly, the feeling of silence and oppression around him was constantly eroding Harry's heart.

Although Harry knew that Zhang Xu was not far away, he couldn't see or hear the other party's figure, which gave him the illusion that Zhang Xu had quietly left.

Zhang Xu was walking not far in front of Harry, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the occasional voices from Harry's feet behind him.If someone was actually guarding here, Harry would have been spotted by the sound of footsteps.

After a while, the two came to the main entrance of the secret room.

After Zhang Xu checked the surroundings for nothing unusual, he tapped the wall a few times rhythmically with his wand, and then took off the invisibility cloak almost at the same time as Harry.

Zhang Xu used his magic wand to release a few balls of flames floating in the air like ghostly will-o'-the-wisps, instantly illuminating the entire space with a glaring white light.

If Zhang Xu and Harry hadn't been wearing goggles, their eyes would have been dazzled.

After a while, Zhang Xu adjusted the light of the flame to the normal brightness, and then said to Harry: "Harry, go back and check to see if there are any traces on the ground other than the traces of us coming in." Weird place."

Harry nodded, using his wand as a flashlight, and began to carefully search for possible clues on the ground.

After Zhang Xu confirmed the safety of the passageway, he asked Harry to go back to look for clues, which was considered as an exercise for Harry.Since he was responsible for what happened this time, let him work harder.

Before Harry came back, Zhang Xu checked his surroundings and found several protective magic and alarm magic that Dumbledore deliberately let his own people discover.

Zhang Xu can be sure that Dumbledore has already known the actions of the two of them now.Maybe Old Deng is hiding somewhere {deleted}peeping{deleted} at this moment and protecting Harry.

But with Harry as the amulet, Zhang Xu is not afraid that Lao Deng will make trouble for him afterwards.

After more than ten minutes, Harry came back with a serious face.

Seeing Harry's expression, Zhang Xu's heart skipped a beat. Did he really discover something?

"I found this on the ground." Harry stretched out the hands of those things in front of Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu saw a few white particles on the handkerchief in Harry's hand.

After Zhang Xu checked that there was no magic that could harm people on those things, he picked up two spare wands as chopsticks, and picked up one of them.

After inspection, these things are all wax drops formed by candle tears on the ground after burning candles.

Because ordinary wizards don't use candles for lighting here, using a wand is enough to provide lighting.

Moreover, the candles used by wizards seldom have candle tears dripping down, otherwise Hogwarts would be dripping wax on a large scale during dinner time every day.

"It seems that there have been some serious guests." Zhang Xu said to Harry.

At this moment, Zhang Xu also became serious. Maybe this matter is the same as what Harry guessed.

, Someone is messing around in the secret room.

Moreover, those who can make trouble under Dumbledore's nose must not be good, or have Dumbledore's tacit approval.

Harry glanced at the door of the Chamber of Secrets, and swallowed nervously. Maybe there was a group of Death Eaters behind this door.

At this moment, Zhang Xu patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will definitely not be any great danger."

"If there is danger, Professor Dumbledore will certainly not ignore it."

Hearing what Zhang Xu said, Harry relaxed a little.

Although Harry has been tested for a long time, he has not yet reached the point where "Taishan collapses in front of him without changing his face".

Seeing that Harry had calmed down, Zhang Xu asked, "What are you going to do after opening the door?"

"Uh"

Harry didn't expect Zhang Xu to ask such a question. After all, every time he and Zhang Xu act together, Zhang Xu is basically in command.

"As soon as the door is opened, put a spell inside to suppress it." Harry thought for a while and said, "Then we should rush in or close the door depending on the situation."

"Okay." Zhang Xu replied.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Harry asked.

"You initiated this operation, so I will follow your command." Zhang Xu said.

Now Harry was under a lot of pressure, and Zhang Xu suddenly handed over the command, which caught him off guard.

After Harry took a few deep breaths, he began to open the door of the Chamber of Secrets in Parseltongue.

As soon as the door opened to a crack just wide enough for people to walk in and out sideways, Harry immediately raised his wand and cast several spells inside at once.

The moment Zhang Xu just opened the door, he saw the darkness in the secret room, so he let the light inside immediately.

The lighting technique that a wizard must be proficient in is most suitable for sneak attacks in such dim places. No matter how powerful a wizard is, they will be blinded by the strong light.

A wave of operations was as fierce as a tiger, but the secret room was quiet.

Except for the sound of Harry's spells hitting the floor and walls, the Chamber of Secrets was silent.

This scene made Harry a little embarrassed, and deep in his heart he longed for something to be accomplished when he commanded, hoping that one or two Death Eaters would hide behind the door and prepare to sneak up on them, and then be knocked down by his spell, Then you can show off a little in front of Zhang Xu.

Standing at the door and looking at the empty secret room inside, Harry checked again and again to confirm that there was no one in there before calling Zhang Xu in.

And Zhang, who saw all this, stood behind Harry and smiled without saying a word, just followed him into the secret room.

In the secret room, the lighting technique that Zhang Xu cast just now is still working, but the brightness has dropped to the level of normal indoor lighting.

"Let's search separately to see if there are any clues." Harry said to Zhang Xu with some embarrassment.

At first, he pulled Zhang Xu over with enthusiasm, but when he arrived, he found that the place was empty and there was nothing there.

Disappointed, Harry walked towards the statue of Lytherin in the Chamber of Secrets.

Zhang Xu is not like Harry who ignores some details when his emotions are ups and downs. The wax drop that Harry found outside just now is an important clue, and he may be able to discover some extraordinary things by relying on it.

As for the origin of these wax drops, Zhang Xu already had some guesses.
