Hogwarts Slytherin

Below the girls' bathroom.

The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

This is a secret door hidden between Salazar Slytherin's legs. Even in the wizarding world, it is not polite to peek into someone's lower body.

This is Slytherin's real treasure.

As for the secret room outside, it is probably used to hide the real treasure. Besides, the secret room is very empty and can be seen at a glance. The stone pillars are just statues. How can there be any treasure?

In other words, the snake eyes on the stone pillars may be better than before, because they are obviously inlaid with precious stones.

Summoning a broomstick, Reggie flew between the statue's legs.

"sssssssssssssssssssssssss out"

"Crack!"

The secret door slides open.

The deep tunnel inside was exposed, but Reggie hesitated.

Thousands of years have passed, and Salazar Slytherin has not been forgotten. Everyone has reached a consensus that he was a ruthless dark wizard.

After breaking with the other three giants, he left Hogwarts, but before that he set out to list Slytherin's treasures in the castle.

Many people secretly keep it in mind.

But for many years, very few people found it, until the descendants of Slytherin completely disappeared from Hogwarts.

Perhaps the square outside the Chamber of Secrets was not so empty at first. According to Slytherin's own character, he is a person who pays attention to the sense of ritual. This can be seen from the style of the Chamber of Secrets.

The outside of the secret room cannot be arranged in such a "poor" manner. It may have been weathered by time, or it may have been taken away by descendants who entered the secret room before.

The bathroom on the second floor has existed for hundreds of years. Before Voldemort killed Myrtle, the bathroom was used normally by students.

It was only after Myrtle died that she accidentally became a ghost and stayed there, often leaving sewage everywhere in the bathroom. Therefore, students gradually stopped going there, causing it to become an abandoned bathroom.

In addition to chance and determination, it also requires immense patience and care to find the entrance to the secret room.

Under the faucet in the girls' bathroom? !

In this case, Voldemort must have observed almost every detail in the castle.

……

There is a basilisk placed in the secret room alone, but what about the secret room within this secret room?

Personal experience made him understand that Salazar Slytherin was not a generous person who did not expect anything in return.

What would be waiting for him behind the deep passage?

In the pockets prepared in advance, I put rooster, white essence, etc., but it was a pity that they were not used.

Of course, it's a good thing not to use it. If it had been used just now, maybe it wouldn't be the current situation.

At this moment, he was struggling internally.

quite a while.

The uncertain face finally returned to its former calmness.

Turn the broom around and fly in the direction you came from.

The future is long, today's goal has been achieved, there is no need to rush now.

Being adventurous and adventurous does not mean being reckless.

"Wait a minute." Back in the girls' bathroom, the water on the ground seemed to have become shallower, at least it would no longer cover the soles of his shoes.

We will wait until we are fully prepared to find out. Now we have ordered the basilisk to enter a dormant state, thus avoiding any secret room murder cases in Hogwarts.

As if a gust of wind had blown by, the bathroom door opened. There was no sign of anyone, only a shallow water stain appeared on the ground.

If anyone passes by at this time, they will see the mess inside, and the unbound Myrtle is going crazy inside.

Because she was attacked by students again!

Wailing why these bad guys wouldn't let her go if she died.

******

West Tower.

Owl Shack.

You can smell a strange smell not far from the Owl House. Fortunately, it is winter now, and if it comes summer, no one will want to come here unless necessary.

Filch liked to send students who violated school rules to clean up here in the summer.

This is a simple wooden house located on the roof of the building. It is not too clean and has a slightly pungent smell.

This is Bibi Dong's home in Hogwarts.

As for the college lounge, owls are not allowed to enter there. I have brought Bibi in once or twice before, but I didn't stay for a long time.

However, if students raise toads, civet cats, mice, etc., they can take them with them.

That is to say, a while ago, Ruiji wanted to draw Bibi Dong's blood to see if it was the product of blood fusion, but was later interrupted by the basilisk making a noise.

In a simple owl hut, the wooden boards are not tightly spaced so that the owl will not feel the cold. On the contrary, this will allow the smell in the house to be better dispersed.

When Bibi Dong first came here, he would go to the auditorium every morning to deliver a letter to Rui Ji, complaining loudly, with a plaintive tone like a cabbage field, and wallowing in misery with his friends.

In order to plug the bird's mouth, Reggie mail-ordered a shelf made of apple wood and filled it with fairy fur.

On weekdays, no one would look after Bibi Dong, let alone clean it up.

But Reggie could see his pet's unique bird's nest at a glance. Not to mention, it was indeed pleasing to the eye. At this moment, he felt that the money was well spent.

When I looked closer, I couldn't find any excrement on it.

"Mysophobia is your only advantage right now." Reggie threw it a piece of steak with satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, Reggie breathed out to express his intention.

The bird that looked satisfied just now suddenly stood on end, "No! Please, please spare me, Master!"

Play fine.

Reggie was speechless: "It's just a little blood draw."

The moment she took out the glass test tube, Bibi Dong backed away even more, her wings spread wide, and the whole bird stuck to the bird stand.

"Master...Master, don't come over..."

Reggie was unmoved.

"Quickly imprisoned!"

Unable to move, Bibi Dong let out a miserable cry, "Master! If you come here again, I will scream!"

"Scream, it's useless to break your throat."

"Broken throat~Broken throat~Kill the bird!!!"

Rui Ji raised his eyebrows and made a gesture of wiping his neck. Bibi Dong choked up instantly.

Bird Head hurriedly said, "I will go through fire and water for my master, no matter what!"

Isn't it just being penetrated? A good bird can bend and stretch.

No need for Reggie to say anything, Bibi Dong stopped struggling... and looked like she was letting herself be slaughtered.

"Rui...what are you doing?!" Marlene McKinnon, who came to send a letter at this time, hurriedly stopped her.

"Uh...academic research."

Reggie simply said hello and continued. Faced with Bibi Dong's eyes that were so intense that it was difficult to ignore, Marin was a little embarrassed, so she still spoke to persuade.

"Reggie, I'm sorry, but I have to say that your pet doesn't seem very willing to participate in your research. Professor Kettleburn said that pets are the companions of wizards. We should love and protect them. They also have their own thoughts. We There should be respect for each other. Now it seems that your pet is very scared. I think maybe you should discuss it with it before conducting... er, academic research."

Care for them?

Which owl eats steak, ham, and lives on an applewood shelf? Reggie thinks he is being too generous.

Discuss it?

What else is there to discuss?

It's about academic research, can you refuse?

How could he, a bird like Ruigi, not even have this awareness?

impossible!

Moreover, Bibi Dong is so humane that most of the time he is almost no different from a second-rate person. Rui Ji has privately warned him many times not to talk nonsense.

"I could feel it asking for my help."

Marlene McKinnon looked helpless, but tried her best to persuade: "Also, I think if Lily were here, she would also agree with my idea."

Reggie: "..."

Why do we need to mention Lily?

The two of them had not spoken since the Yule Ball.

"Ma Lin, Bibi Dong voluntarily dedicated himself to academics. I really didn't force him. Believe me, I have always respected him very much."

Turning his head and touching the golden-winged roc, Reggie's eyes were gentle: "Right? Bibi Dong."

"Ahem, yes...yes, Miss McKinnon. I...Bibi Dong is willing...to do anything for the master voluntarily."

Marlene McKinnon was confused, her eyes were blank and embarrassed.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I...Rigi, I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter. Bibi Dong is an owl with an unstable mental state. Sometimes its thoughts and behaviors are contradictory. This is a disease. I have seen this when reading Muggle books. The situation is called – schizophrenia.”

Marlene McKinnon, who comes from a mixed-race family, clearly knows about this mental illness.

When she looked at Bibi Dong again, she had a sad expression on her face, and she felt very sorry for having vaguely hated it before.

As for the reason for hating her, maybe it’s because Bibi Dong shouted when he saw her: “Girl Nettle! Girl Nettle!”

Because Marlene McKinnon has a lot of freckles on her face, which are natural, the potion will not work on them at all.

It turns out that Bibi Dong is sick!

Since Reggie said that its behavior and thoughts were contradictory, it must have been praising her at that time.

Bibi Dong opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.

There were two "gurgling" sounds in the throat.

It seemed that only then did it remember that it was just a bird.

"Hey, by the way, Marlene, as you said, although Bibi Dong is just a pet, it also has self-esteem, and I hope you don't tell others..."

Marin had a meaningful look on her face and made repeated promises before leaving.

"Don't worry, I understand, I will never spread it."

Reggie smiled gratefully.

After hearing Marlene MacKinnon's assurance, he believed that it wouldn't be long before all the students who knew Bibi Dong would know that it had schizophrenia, and no one would take its nonsense to heart anymore.

close the door.

Ruiji breathed out. At this moment, he saw Bibi Dong staring at him with a sad face, "Believe me, more people will care about you in the future."

Especially the lioness of Gryffindor, where most girls are overflowing with compassion.

"Cuckoo~"

"Very good, let's continue what we interrupted before." Reggie pinched Bibi Dong's paw with one hand and took out the embassy with the other.

"Cuckoo!"

Satisfied, he put away the blood sample, patted Bibi Dong's head, and took out a potion as compensation for it.

"Cuckoo!!!!"

The moment Bibi Dong saw the potion, his pupils dilated with excitement, and the bird's eyes were filled with joy, it was his favorite!

Cheer potion!

Bibi Dong happy water!

"Give me! Give me! Give me!"

Reggie held the potion and shook it in front of it, and its bird head followed the direction of the potion. If it hadn't been worried that Reggie had not been knocked out of its mind, it would have wanted to reach out and grab the melon seeds, so it was anxious I have to start talking humanly again.

Rui Ji stopped teasing it and watched Bibi Dong impatiently drink up the joy potion with an expression as if she was about to soar.

The joy potion is a potion that can bring happiness to people, which seems to be more effective on birds. However, Ruiji has only seen Bibi Dong take it, and he has no way of knowing the reactions of other owls.

But the side effects of the euphoric drug are also very obvious.

The joy potion cannot be taken too much, as it will cause the user to have side effects such as twisting the nose, and the magic potion cannot bring real happiness to the user. It can only bring people a short-term and false sense of pleasure.

And it is also one of the banned drugs of the Ministry of Magic, because people who take joy potions will obey anyone's words. If they take too much, the strong effect will be like being cast an Imperius Curse!

These elation potions were brewed by Snape simply for the purpose of conquering yet another potion recipe.

The finished product was saved by Ruigi. After all, the funds for purchasing the potion materials came from the DAM club and were considered team items.

But no one cares about this, and Reggie has never disclosed financial expenditures to club members. In this regard, he appreciates the wizard's laziness very much.

With the blood sample in hand, he has been shelving his bloodline research plan these days in order not to encounter "Death Eaters" lurking in the castle.

Now we know that the so-called "Death Eaters" are nothing but a myth, all caused by the Basilisk.

It was time to tell Snape that sometimes the way to get out of a slump was to quickly get distracted by something else, and he was sure Snape would be very interested.

Taking the blood sample with him, Reggie closed the door and left the west tower.

******

In the lounge, Reggie looked at the red liquid in his hand and was thinking about whether to call Snape for analysis today.

This little bit should be enough, right?

But think about Muggle laboratories, where samples are all sorted by labels and numbers, and he only got such a small tube from Bibi Dong.

Of course, if he were asked to smoke Yigui now, Rui Ji believed that under the influence of the joyful agent, Bibi Dong would be very happy.

However, since it is bloodline research, wouldn't it be enough to use a magical creature?

There are many magical creatures living in the Forbidden Forest, but the very sparse and ordinary creatures have no research value, unless they are centaurs, fishmen... and Fox.

In addition to combining and breeding a new species, blood fusion can also be carried out by taking magic potions.

He raised the blood sample in his hand a little higher and deliberately saw some fine impurities in the red blood through the light.

There are also ready-made werewolves...

Thinking of Lupine, a glint flashed in his eyes.

Research on the wolfsbane potion must begin. This is a crucial step for Snape to shock the wizarding world.

For such a young potion master...fame, fortune and status will soon follow.

This was what Snape had been missing.
