People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning.

Chapter 65 Dumbledore Appears

Myrtle dove headfirst into the toilet, splashing water all over the floor, then suddenly jumped out and floated in the air.

She seemed very excited to be communicating with the Boy-Who-Lived.

But Basil suspected that she was more likely to care about Harry's identity as a living and good-looking boy.

He glanced at Myrtle with disdain.

Although he knew that the toilet cubicle where Myrtle stayed had not been used for decades, he still felt uncomfortable.

Just like he could see every corner of Hogwarts but never looked into the sewers.

On the other hand, Harry stayed where he was.

A feeling of shame lingered in my heart.

The last time this happened, I knew his father was not a good person.

Now, it seems that his ancestors were not good people either.

It's Salazar Slytherin!

The blood must come from his father, his mother is a Muggle-born.

No wonder his father is so bad.

No wonder the Sorting Hat said Slytherin would lead him to success.

He suddenly felt that his body was so dirty!

He subconsciously looked at the faucet.

The flickering candlelight reflected on the snake carving, making the snake seem to come alive.

He felt an inexplicable urge to "open it."

He covered his throat immediately because what he heard was not this sentence, but a strange hissing sound.

A minute ago, Dumbledore, who had seen through Harry's thoughts, drew his wand and tapped the Mirror of Erised.

Let it float back to the room by itself.

He was going to show up and comfort Harry.

But then I heard the snake language.

Not that Dumbledore was arrogant, but he did know over a hundred languages, even trolls'.

This also includes snake language.

He immediately understood what Harry meant by the snake language, "Open it."

Then, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly.

Then the pool began to move.

The entire pool sank and disappeared from their sight.

Instead, there was a very thick water pipe that was big enough for a person to crawl into.

"What is this?" Harry muttered.

"This must be the secret passage," Myrtle suggested.

"Do you want to go down? If you die, you are welcome to share this flush toilet with me." Her face turned silver-white with shyness.

"I don't think I'll die." Harry rolled his eyes.

This is probably the secret passage that Bagir mentioned.

Basil must have been here. Considering that Myrtle has been the only victim in all these years, it is probably not very dangerous here.

"I don't think so."

A third voice sounded.

Harry felt as if his insides had suddenly frozen.

He quickly looked behind him.

It was Albus Dumbledore.

"Professor!" Myrtle screamed, and dived into the toilet, never to come out again.

Only the gurgling sound of flowing water remains.

"I-I, this is the girls' bathroom, sir." Harry stammered, squeezing out these words.

"Yes, this is the girls' bathroom," said Dumbledore.

Harry was relieved to see a smile on his face.

It seems that no points will be deducted for being spicy!

As for why the headmaster was in the girls' bathroom, Dumbledore was the headmaster and could go wherever he wanted.

It's not something he, as a student, can control.

"So," said Dumbledore, taking a step forward to the water pipe, "this is the entrance to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. Is this why you came here today?" "You just now?" Harry was sure that Dumbledore had never been in this room before.

This is his confidence in his keen observation skills as the youngest Seeker.

"I don't need an invisibility cloak to be invisible," Dumbledore said gently. "You don't have to worry about losing points. It's vacation time now, and I'm returning this cloak to you."

"Do you know my father?" Harry was about to continue asking about his father, but the next second, he thought of Basil.

"Then you also returned the diary that Bagel received before to him."

At the same time, he secretly wondered if Dumbledore also had a job as an estate custodian. Why did both of their fathers give their things to Dumbledore for safekeeping before they died?

"What?" Dumbledore's expression turned serious.

Every time I hear this boy's name, nothing good happens.

Harry began to talk about the diary and the note.

Under the white leather cover of the diary is a tattered black cover.

Finally he mentioned that he came here because Bagir said there was a secret passage in this bathroom.

"It seems that we have to go down and take a look." Dumbledore said calmly.

But beneath his calm appearance, there was a huge wave of turmoil in his heart.

He knew who killed Myrtle, and he also knew that Riddle once had a diary with a black cover.

But then suddenly one day it disappeared.

This diary might be a Horcrux.

How it got to Basil might have something to do with the Malfoy family.

The only person who had a grudge against the boy and had the ability to do so was Lucius Malfoy.

As a family favored by Voldemort, it was only normal for them to be given a Horcrux and asked to keep it for him.

But considering that Lucius Malfoy had the audacity to use this precious object as a weapon to murder a boy.

Voldemort probably did not tell Lucius Malfoy the truth about the diary.

A bad premonition came to his mind. With such a careless attitude, Voldemort might have more Horcruxes than he imagined.

"Now?" Harry was a little confused.

Especially after Dumbledore finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment.

His body became much more hunched.

"Now." Dumbledore stepped forward and jumped into the pipe first.

The boy was a great wizard, and he shouldn't be confused by a Horcrux.

But he still wanted to go and see.

Harry folded the Invisibility Cloak and put it aside.

Then he slowly crawled into the pipe, and then let go and let himself slide down.

But the next second, Harry regretted it.

He could not see Dumbledore in front of him at all.

The pipe was not only dark but also sticky, winding and full of twists and turns, and had a very steep slope.

And it was very long. The further down you went, the more humid the air became, and it felt like you were reaching a place several miles below the school - the bottom of the lake.

His butt was bumping around and it no longer felt like his own.

After about ten minutes, the pipe began to smooth out.

Then it fell down and landed on a soft cushion.

He stood up and realized that the cushion was an air cushion, which should have been created by Dumbledore using magic.

This was a dark stone tunnel. The ground was very damp and made a clattering sound when one walked in it. It was large enough for a person to stand inside.

Dumbledore is not here.

But the fluorescent light coming from the front should be released by Dumbledore.

He walked forward along the light, stepping on many small animal bones on the way.

After turning a corner, Harry stood still.

Dumbledore was squatting there with a ball of light floating above his head.

His body was very clean, without a trace of the slime from the pipes.

However, this was not the main reason for Harry's daze.

Next to Dumbledore, on the other side of the tunnel, lay the outline of a huge creature, motionless.

"Is this the monster in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets? Killed by Dumbledore?" Harry thought to himself.
