A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 185 Useful Clues

"Cruciate!"

A flash of bright red lightning shot out from the tip of the wand, and someone fell down, and from time to time, bright red magical energy like lightning shot out from his body.

Amidst the deafening screams, the red lightning bolts rushed towards the stone gate of the figure of pain. The black stone gate gradually turned dark red like a burning coal, and finally fell to the ground like melted rubber.

...

Many years later, when goji berries, dodder seeds, and astragalus appeared in Ron's teacup, Charles asked him curiously when he asked him out for a drink: "How did you think of using the Cruciatus Curse on yourself?"

Ron replied calmly, "I thought Cruciatus on the toe was just like kicking the little toe on the table."

Charles shook his head slightly, apparently in disbelief.

Ron took a sip of his wine slowly, smiled, and said, "Then what do you want me to do, cast a curse on Fred or George, that's an unforgivable curse."

"We are brothers, no matter what they do, we are brothers with the same parents."

"It's their fault that they are ignorant, but it doesn't mean I have to be as ignorant as them."

Charles added: "Use the Cruciatus Curse with hate."

Ron was silent for a long time, and after drinking slowly, he said, "I hate myself for being useless."

...

Ron was woken up by choking, and Fred and George frantically poured him potions, regardless of whether it worked or not, it was for treatment first.

For the next few days, Ron burped with a whiff of umami.

"Is this the Slytherin study?"

Ron looked around curiously as he was led into the room behind the door.

At the same time as the door was opened, the candles in the study were automatically lit, and on the wall opposite the door was a huge statue of a human head.

It was the face of Slytherin himself. He looked very old, with a long beard and a snake with long hair beside him. At first glance, he thought it was a male Medusa.

There is a table under the wall where the statue hangs, and there are stairs on both sides to the second floor, where there are bookshelves and desks full of books.

There are still many boxes in the study, all of which have been opened, and there is only dust inside. It seems that they have been opened for a hundred years.

In the era of Slytherin, there was a special desk for reading books. The tabletop of this desk was inclined, and books could be placed on it without hands.

On the second floor, there is a reading desk and a writing desk. Next to the reading desk is a small shelf with several books related to black magic.

"Come here!" George made a new discovery in front of the small bookshelf, "Look, there is no dust on these books!"

Those were Voldemort's books for Charles, so it would be strange if there was any dust on them.

In the eyes of the three brothers, this was evidence that a descendant of Slytherin had been here recently.

They continued to search, and finally found what they wanted on the writing desk.

It was a piece of parchment with Slytherin's handwriting on it, and the upper half was written about the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor and others, so he decided to leave by himself.

In the final section, Slytherin writes: "Next I will put the creature into a slumber until it is awakened by someone who shares my vision: that the Chosen Brood will turn the others around inadvertently. The sins committed, those who are not qualified will only tarnish my legacy, and my children will shoulder the burden of purifying Hogwarts."

The three brothers looked through the parchment with solemn faces, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then nodded together.

It became clear that Slytherin had killed all the non-pure blood wizards in Hogwarts for the so-called "purification", and let a terrible creature sleep in the Chamber of Secrets.

Now, the descendants of Slytherin have opened the Chamber of Secrets and released the terrible creature.

"Is there any student in the school who is descended from Slytherin?"

Fred asked an important question.

It is common for ancient wizarding families to marry each other. It is not surprising that the Weasley family has Slytherin blood. This person may even be Neville or Harry. This question needs to be researched on the genealogy of each family.

If a certain family has historically had some green love affair with a descendant of Slytherin, this question cannot be studied.

As for the descendants of Slytherin who are all Parseltongues, as long as they pay attention not to show it, outsiders will have no way of knowing that they have mastered a foreign language.

But Parseltongue was an important clue, so George said, "Looks like we'll have to find out who in Hogwarts is Parseltongue."

Fred nodded.

"It's getting late," he said, "we have to leave quickly, or the professors will find out."

George looked around at the bookshelves and the books on them, nodded and said, "I want to take all these things away, maybe there will be new clues."

Fred agreed, and the two of them opened the notebook, cleaned out all the explosive fluid inside, and ransacked the entire study.

In the meantime, they found a way to get out.

There are two ancient and dilapidated statues in the study room on the second floor. On the middle wall is a somewhat abstract huge human face, with a snake about to get into its open mouth.

The human face rotates half a circle on the spot, and the back is empty. When the person stands on it and turns half a circle, the exit corridor is in front of him.

The wall at the end of the corridor was a door, and it turned out that the common room of Slytherin House was opposite.

While the three Weasley brothers were exploring the Slytherin study, Harry left the common room with Scabbers, which Ron had left for him, after eating the breakfast Hermione brought back for him.

Harry went to feed Hedwig before leaving, which scared Scabbers to the point of peeing.

Before leaving, Hermione told Harry that after the holiday, she was looking for chicken-related monsters in the library, and she didn't have time to go to the bathroom to look at Polyjuice Potion.

It was cold now, and she was worried that the unfinished Polyjuice Potion would be frozen, so she asked Harry to check it out today, and if the fire was low, add more fire.

Harry wiped his sweat all the way to the bathroom occupied by Myrtle, and after opening the compartment, he made an unexpected discovery.

There was a strong flame in the furnace for boiling the medicine, and there was faint water vapor in the crucible. It seemed that everything was normal, but there were other things in the furnace.

Harry took out a very old notebook from the stove, and frowned. The magic flame didn't need to be refueled. Obviously, this old notebook was not used as fuel, but someone wanted to burn it.

It's just that the notebook is protected by powerful magic. Ordinary magic flames can't hurt it at all. When you take it out, there is no other abnormality except that it is burned to the touch.

Harry took out the notebook and saw that the flame in the stove was normal and there was no need to add fire, so he left with the notebook.

When Harry returned to the common room, he found that he didn't feel warm.
