Hogwarts lazy snake

Chapter 171 Club and History

Time passed quietly, and several days went by. In the Hogwarts campus, the students' topics of conversation always revolved around three things.

First, who is the heir of Slytherin? Where is the mysterious Chamber of Secrets hidden? This question shrouds the entire campus like a fog, stimulating students' curiosity and desire to explore.

Secondly, the scene on Halloween where a man lifted his own head and scared someone unconscious still terrifies people, and the culprit, Horn, has become the focus of everyone's discussion.

Thirdly, the cursing Filch, as the night watchman and gatekeeper of Hogwarts, was tasked with cleaning the bloody words on the wall where Colin was petrified.

However, even when Filch took out Mrs. Skoll's all-purpose magic detergent, which was famous in the wizarding world, and scrubbed the words on the wall vigorously, there was still no sign of change. It was as if the words were mocking Filch's incompetence and putting him in a helpless dilemma, just like a eunuch going to a brothel.

In the happy little base of the Room of Requirement, the atmosphere is completely different from the hustle and bustle outside.

Horn sat comfortably on the sofa, enjoying all kinds of delicious food. He looked so satisfied as if he had no more worries in the world.

"It feels so good to chew food! It feels so good to have hands and feet!" Horn chewed a piece of nougat, looked at his hands and feet, and sincerely sighed at this simple happiness.

"Horn, there's one move I don't quite understand. Can you see if it's like this?" Neville walked out of the shooting range, holding a wooden stick in one hand, standing sideways, his eyes fixed on a position in front of him.

Then, he turned his wrist while holding the stick and pushed it forward suddenly.

Looking at Neville's imitating movements, Horn nodded and said, "Yes! That's it, but you also have to twist your waist. When you point it out, you have to twist your waist at the same time. This way it will be more powerful, and the movement must be fast!"

As he spoke, Horn took the stick from Neville's hand and demonstrated a basic sword move. Indeed, since Horn turned back into human form, he began to teach Neville some basic sword moves.

Although Horn was not as good as his predecessors who had mastered various skills, he had also practiced some stick techniques.

After all, in his previous life, Horn felt that he had to know something in order to satisfy the audience during his performances.

Moreover, as the descendant of ancient magic, he must know some tricks to save his life.

"Big news!" The door of the Room of Requirement was slammed open just as Horn had finished teaching Neville the moves, and Ron's shouting voice instantly broke the silence in the room.

"Hey, Ron, Yang Guo, could you please keep your voice down? What's going on? Did Harry fall into a cesspool, or did Hermione confess her love to you?" Horn looked at the noisy Ron and asked with amusement.

"Oh, Horn, you two are the only ones here, Neville. Falling into a cesspool? Why did Harry fall into a cesspool? And why did Hermione confess to me?" After hearing Horn's words, Ron, who was originally excited, suddenly had a confused mind and felt that he could not keep up with Horn's thinking at all.

"Just tell me what happened! What big news?" Horn asked casually, taking a bite of the apple with a crunch.

Neville on the side also looked at Ron curiously, and couldn't wait to know what this so-called big news was.

"Oh, yes, it's all because of Horn's nonsense." Ron tried to pull himself away from the confusing words Horn had just uttered and said, "It's said that because of Mrs. Norris and Colin being petrified, Lockhart applied to Dumbledore to reopen the Duelling Club. So, is it big news?"

When Ron finished speaking, he looked at Horn and Neville expectantly, hoping they would react to the news.

However, Horn seemed to have little interest in this. After all, he had experienced many dangerous missions outside and could not muster much interest in this kind of small-scale duel club in the school.

Of course, he knew that he could still learn something from watching the professors' performances, and he could also watch a show at the same time.

Just then, Draco also came in and told Horn and the others the same news as Ron.

Horn said he was too lazy to attend and let Ron and the others go by themselves, but he told Neville to attend.

Soon after, Harry and Hermione came in together, bringing different news. No one knew what happened at noon today, but a group of people came to the Room of Requirement without any prior arrangement.

The news Hermione brought was about Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

Although these are just some contents recorded in books, they have aroused great interest among everyone.

According to Hermione, Hogwarts School was founded more than a thousand years ago, but the exact date is uncertain. The founders were the four greatest wizards and witches of the time, and the four schools were named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin.

Together they had built the castle, away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because in those days common people were afraid of magic and wizards and witches suffered much persecution.

But gradually, differences began to arise between them.

Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be more selective in the number of students it admitted. He believed that magical education should only be limited to pure magical families and was unwilling to accept children born to Muggles, believing that they were unreliable. After some time, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce argument over this issue, and then Slytherin left the school.

Furthermore, Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, which the other founders knew nothing about.

Slytherin sealed the Chamber so that no one could open it, and waited the long years for his true heir to return. The heir would open the Chamber and release the horrors within, allowing it to cleanse the school of all those unworthy of studying magic.

When Hermione finished speaking, everyone looked at the two Slytherins present - Draco and Horn.

"Well, it seems that our Slytherin is indeed amazing. Don't you agree, Horn? And I think if there is really an heir of Slytherin, it must be Horn, after all, he is so amazing."

Draco nodded, indicating that what Hermione said was indeed impressive, but he himself did not know that.

After Draco finished speaking, the others also turned their eyes to Horn. After all, they felt that Horn was indeed the most suspicious.

"Ahem, actually I also know a piece of unofficial history. I'm going to tell you secretly, but you must not spread it."

Horn said this mysteriously, but he was thinking in his heart, that's right, if you tell others, people will think you are crazy.

Hearing what Horn said, they immediately became interested. Could it be that Horn really knew about the secret room?

"In fact, a thousand years ago, there was a fifth founder of Hogwarts. In fact, she and Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets together. Later, she beat Slytherin so hard that he dared not return to Hogwarts. However, Slytherin, who was so self-centered and beautiful, left this sentence to scare you people out of face."

Originally, when Harry and his friends heard that Hogwarts had a fifth founder, they were stunned and wondered if this was true.

But Horn looked as if it was true and he was telling you a secret now.

Hermione was even more excited. She immediately took out her notebook and wrote down what Horn said. This was something only a few of them knew.
