Today, History of Magic classes are as dull as ever.Professor Binns opened his notebook and read in a dry, low, monotonous voice, like an old vacuum cleaner.

Jacqueline piled her books high and huddled back, drowsy.After he spoke for half an hour, something happened that had never happened before.Hermione raised her hand.

Professor Binns was explaining the International Conference of Wizards in [-] very boringly. He looked up and looked very surprised. "Who are you..."

"I'm Granger, Professor. I wonder if you can tell us what happened to the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione said clearly.

Dean had been staring out the window with his mouth open just now, and suddenly he woke up from his trance; Lavender Brown's head was raised from his arms; Neville's elbow was lowered from the table .

Pansy pushed Jacqueline hard, and Jacqueline opened her eyes dimly, completely unaware of what happened.Even the students of Slytherin House sat up straight.

Professor Binns blinked.

"My course is History of Magic," he said in his dry, breathless voice. "I study facts, Miss Granger, not myths and legends." He cleared his throat and made a soft sound like The sound of chalk breaking, continued: "In October of that year, a special group composed of magicians from Sardinia..."

"I don't think whoever wrote it on the wall thinks it's a myth," Jacqueline muttered.

Professor Binns quickly stuttered to a halt as Hermione raised her hand in mid-air again.

"Miss Granger."

"I would like to ask, sir, legends are based on facts, don't they?"Professor Binns looked at her in astonishment.

Jacqueline felt that if any student dared to interrupt Professor Snape like this, he would be given a strange potion as a result.

"Well," said Professor Binns slowly, "yeah, I suppose, you could say that." He looked at Hermione hard, as if he'd never had a good look at a student before. "However, the legend you mentioned is a very sensational, even ridiculous story."

Sensational, hilarious?Jacqueline straightened up. This was most likely the first time Professor Binns knew of such a person in his class.However, the two words put together are really interesting.

"Oh, well then," he said slowly, "let me see, Chamber of Secrets .The founders were the four greatest wizards and wizards of the time.Four houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin.Together they built the castle, away from the prying eyes of the Muggles, for in those days the common people were afraid of magic and wizards and wizards were persecuted a lot. "

Professor Binns paused, looked around the classroom with blurred vision, and continued: "In the first few years, the founders worked harmoniously together, looking for young people who showed signs of magic, and bringing them to the castle. Nurture well. Slowly, however, there is a divide between them. The rift between Slytherin and the others is growing. Slytherin wants Hogwarts to be more selective in recruiting students. He believes that magical education Should be limited to purely magical families only. He was unwilling to accept Muggle-born children, thinking they were unreliable. Some days later, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a violent argument over this issue, and then Slater Lin left the school."

Professor Binns paused again, pursing his lips like a wrinkled old turtle.

"Reliable historical sources tell us this," he said, "but the sheer truth is overshadowed by a bizarre legend about the Chamber of Secrets. The story says that Slytherin built a secret room in the castle, and other founders They don’t know anything about it.”

"According to the legend, Slytherin sealed the Chamber of Secrets so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only that heir could open the Chamber of Secrets, release the horrors inside, and let it purify the school. , remove all those who are not worthy of learning magic."
