Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 133 Night exploration into the secret room

The final exam is finally here.

Consider that the chamber was opened during the school year, along with a series of attacks.

And students are very panicked, which will definitely seriously affect learning efficiency.

Therefore, after discussion, the professors chose to lower the difficulty of the test paper by two levels.

After finishing the test paper, Harley knew that she was definitely the first in all subjects.

I got full marks in every subject, what could others do better than me?

But Hermione didn't think so. She obviously had two more rounds of review than Harry, but after the exam, she still wanted to drag Harry to check the answers.

"I think I did the wrong question on the fourth question of the spell theory test. I didn't spell the freezing spell correctly!"

Hermione said with a horrified look on her face, as if she had made an unforgivable mistake.

Harry could only reluctantly take action again, suppress Hermione, and sign an unequal treaty, demanding that Hermione no longer answer questions.

……

Harry has more important things now, such as exploring Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

One night before the exam, Harry finally collected materials from Hagrid, Professor Snape and the Forbidden Forest, and conducted a thorough channeling on Professor Lockhart.

Through this channeling, Harley got a lot of important news.

For example, there is a piece of news that Harry is particularly concerned about - the location where Professor Lockhart hides his gold galleons.

It must be said that Professor Lockhart is still very cautious.

He chose to hide most of his fortune in a Muggle village.

Professor Lockhart purchased a property there and installed illusion protection. The property was buried beneath the house.

This Muggle village is far away in Northern Europe and has a small population, so it is almost impossible for wizards to go there. It can be said that Lockhart's property is very safe.

Harry sighed at Lockhart's cautiousness while thinking about when to withdraw the money.

After all, the Golden Galleons are innocent. They will not be contaminated by Lockhart, and they should not be buried like this.

These golden little cuties should blossom into their own glory in the right hands.

And Harley, the poor, unearning, lonely ex-wild Beyonder, is just the right person.

She could only reluctantly play their role for Professor Lockhart.

In addition to where the money was hidden, Professor Lockhart also stored a lot of stolen knowledge in his mind.

These are basically the unique skills of a magic master, such as the "Humanoid Restoration Spell" created by an old man, a spell that can force a werewolf to restore its human form and sanity.

Lockhart also knew how valuable this magical knowledge was, but he was unwilling to learn it and just kept it in his mind.

Thanks to Lockhart's good memory as a Ravenclaw and the assistance of memory magic, this magical knowledge was not lost.

However, Harry put them aside and would study them when he had time during the summer vacation or next semester.

The most important thing now is to explore Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. Harry has been yearning for this place for a long time.

As Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin himself should leave some magical knowledge no matter what.

There is also Senior Riddle, he can have a physical form, and the ceremony is probably performed in the secret room. And Harley was very curious about this ritual.

Even without these, part of Professor Lockhart's legacy is worth Harry's trouble.

According to the psychic results, after Lockhart obtained the diary, he went to the secret room many times, seemingly treating it as a small stronghold.

He didn't keep anything good in his office at Hogwarts, so he must have moved his belongings to the secret room.

After finishing the last History of Magic exam, that night, Harley packed up all her equipment and prepared to explore the Chamber of Secrets.

Based on Lockhart's memory, she went all the way to Moaning Myrtle's girls' bathroom on the second floor.

When she first learned that the Chamber of Secrets was here, Harry was still a little surprised. What did Gunter, who rebuilt Hogwarts, think?

And how did dear Senior Riddle discover the specific location of the secret room?

Think carefully!

The Dark Lord, who has shocked the wizarding world for so long, and the descendants of the great Slytherin are actually a bunch of perverts!

Harley found the copper faucet in the sink that never produced water. There was a small snake carved on the side of the faucet.

"Open it," Harley hissed.

The faucet emits a dazzling white light and begins to spin crazily.

Then, the pool started to move and slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a thick water pipe that could accommodate a person.

"That's great. Thank you Lockhart for cleaning up this place." Harry saw that there was no dust on the wall of the water pipe and couldn't help but thank Professor Lockhart for two seconds.

The spider threads spread, making the bathroom densely covered with spider webs.

After ensuring that the way back was clear, Harley let the spider silk wrap around her waist and led her down.

"Fluorescence!" After landing, Harley used magic immediately. Although it has night vision, the light is more reassuring.

Thanks to Harley's superb level of magic, the dark tunnel became brightly lit, like daylight.

Harley moved forward and finally came to a wall.

Carved on the wall are two intertwined snakes, with huge emeralds in their eyes.

After carefully putting several layers of defense on himself, Harley spoke again: "Open."

The stone wall cracked in the middle, revealing a passage in the middle.

Harry couldn't bear to take a look at the eyes of the two snakes. Such a large, high-quality emerald was made of the best material.

Shaking her head, Harley continued walking forward.

Behind the wall is a long, dimly lit room. Many stone pillars carved with entangled serpents support the ceiling.

Although the mysterious green mist filling the room hindered the spread of magical light, Harley, who had dark vision, could still see the end of the room clearly.

At the end of the room is a statue, a statue of Slytherin.

In front of the statue stood a huge crucible with dried potion inside.

There are still a lot of materials around the crucible, including the mummies of the twelve missing dwarfs.

The alchemical runes carved on the crucible were dim, but they still showed the extraordinary nature of the ceremony.

"It's a pity that many materials can no longer be used." Harley shook her head, feeling a little heartbroken.

She took out the materials from her pocket and began to arrange the ceremony, preparing to preserve the scene completely.

With Harley's current knowledge of magic, there are still many things in this ritual that Harley cannot understand.

After saving the ritual, Harley inspected the secret room again.

Professor Lockhart placed all his important belongings behind a pillar and carried them in two pockets cast with the Invisible Stretch Charm.

After Harry briefly confirmed that there was no magic on it, he rummaged through the two pockets. Inside were a lot of gold galleons, as well as some potion materials and notes.

The font of the notes was not Lockhart's. It seemed that he got it easily when he stole the memories, so they were thrown into the bag.

Harry stuffed the note back into his pocket without studying it carefully. After all, it was not urgent.

"There's only one last place left unexplored." After confirming that there were no other good things in the secret room, Harry looked at the statue of Slytherin.

"Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."
