harry potter book of crimes

At Hogwarts, there is one thing that is almost universally acknowledged by young wizards, and that is the fact that "History of Magic classes are extremely boring."

However, even so, it is still one of the required courses at Hogwarts.

Over the thousands of years, there have been many types of magic courses that have changed again and again with the advancement of the times, but the History of Magic course has always remained on the students' curriculum, and has never been canceled even for a day.

If you have to ask "why", Maka McClain, who likes this course very much, might tell you that history can answer your doubts.

Just like a certain question, it has troubled many Hogwarts students and even professors.

They don't understand why the founder of Hogwarts chose such distinct branches for teaching. Some think it is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, others think it is to cultivate a sense of competition, and some even say that this is simply a discord between the founders.

errors left behind.

However, these people actually think too much.

Because you only need to read Chapter 9 of "Hogwarts: A School History" to know that Hogwarts will always be one. And the spirit advocated by each house is essentially the same.

.

Moving forward bravely like Gryffindor may help you reach your destination; but sometimes if you choose to retreat calmly like Slytherin, it may not necessarily mean that you are one step further away from your goal.

Although not many students will be interested in this inconspicuous truth, the book "Hogwarts: A History of the School" will only be remembered by a few young wizards. But coincidentally, it is completely impossible in theory.

Enns went to read this kind of book, but because of the relationship between Slytherin and Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets, he read it carefully several times.

"... Calm down," Enns said to himself secretly in the crowd, "Think about it, what should I do most now... what is it?"

As he calmed down and thought silently, his pace also slowed down. When Malfoy's back in front became farther and farther away, and was finally completely submerged by the crowd, he suddenly turned around and walked back.

"The Chamber of Secrets! Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! Now that he's gone, isn't that the best time for me to go to the Chamber of Secrets to find out what's going on?" Enns said in his heart while walking through the crowd, "I hope he hasn't given it there.

destroyed--"

He walked all the way back from near the school gate, and picked up a broomstick like last time so that he could return safely.

Not long after, Enns, who carefully avoided the sight of others, came to the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

This time, the Weeping Myrtle didn't seem to be here, which saved some unnecessary delays. He quickly followed the pipe under the sink and came to the secret room deep underground in the castle.

"That's right... If it were me, I would probably do the same thing..."

In fact, he had already thought of this possibility as early as after returning last night. He just couldn't reconcile himself to not coming here to see it with his own eyes, right?

Yes, Enns saw it at this moment - behind the previous wall, there was indeed a "secret room within a secret room". Unfortunately, now it can only be called a "secret room within a ruins"

ruins”.

Behind the hard stone wall that had a big hole punched out, there were traces of damage everywhere in the small space. Broken boards, fragments of paper, and brick waste everywhere, even the stone chamber.

The walls were covered with spider web-like cracks.

It can be seen that it was the mark of being smashed with some force.

“Restored as good as new!”

Standing in front of the gap in the stone wall, Enns waved his wand and cast a repair spell, but the spell did not have the effect it should have. He didn't know whether this was due to his own lack of ability, or whether the things here had simply not been repaired.

It is possible to return to the original state.

With the light emitted by the glowing spell of the wand, Enns saw some pages of books that were pressed under the bricks, and he walked in without giving up. He wanted to try to see if he could use his own hands to save these possibly important pages.

The scraps of information pieced together an answer that should belong to him.

"Well……"

As soon as he picked up a fragment of the page on the ground, he didn't even continue to use force, and the fragment turned into dry and fine crumbs between his fingers.

"...Draco Malfoy!"

Enns, who was getting even more angry at Malfoy because of the completely rotten pieces of paper, didn't know that the books and papers originally placed here had long since lost their preservation magic and had rotted away with the passage of time.

But at this moment, countless green light spots suddenly spewed out from the cracked brick wall behind him, and silently circled around him.

These tiny light spots are like countless fireflies and look extremely beautiful.

And just as Enns was amazed by this sudden and beautiful sight, they quickly flew away, covering the severely damaged stone room with a layer of illusive and real light green shadow.

After a while, Enns was astonished to find that everything in the stone chamber seemed to have returned to its original appearance. Because those light spots had now merged into one, reproducing the original furnishings of the stone chamber in a form similar to an image.

Desks, cupboards, tapestries, clothes hangers, except for the fact that these images all have a layer of green, everything seems to really appear in Enns' field of vision.

He looked around, then suddenly raised his head. A large map hanging on the wall above the desk looked particularly clear. It can be said that these images looked much clearer and more stable than when Maka himself injected magic power to activate it.

.

Yes, that actually means that everything Maka did when she came here to look for clues in the past was wrong. Only passing Slytherin's test like Enns did last night is the correct way to activate these images.

Of course, there is no correct way now, whether it is Enns, Malfoy or Maka. After all, this place was "dismantly demolished" by Maka from the beginning.

It was just exposed. No matter how you think about it, this couldn't be Salazar Slytherin's original intention.

"This is……"

Enns, who was attracted by the ancient map, started to have a headache again just by looking at it, because he couldn't understand the words marked on it.

Last time Hufflepuff's letter was a variant of ancient runes, but now on this map, it was obviously another ancient script symbol. To be honest, he really didn't want to have to deal with anything else unless necessary.

The ancient text translation dictionary is dead.

"well……"

Fortunately, after he put aside the depression in his mind and once again cast his gaze on the map and wandered for a while, a rather conspicuous red circle in the light green attracted all his attention.

Even if he doesn't understand a single word, since the prompts are so clear, what reason does he have to complain?

Enns suppressed the irritation in his heart and firmly imprinted the position of the red circle and the characters marked next to it in his mind. After the shadow shrouded in the stone room gradually dissipated, he quickly left.

This is the real Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

The map was clearly marked, and the details were easy to understand. He could understand that the location should be in a mountain range. As long as he transferred the things in his memory to the paper exactly as they were, and then looked them up for comparison.

Once you click on it, you will be able to find its approximate location quickly.

As for what troubles and rewards there are in that place, we will only know when we get there... No, to be precise, he may have to find a way to get there before Malfoy.

"That guy must be looking for that place..." While Enns was focused on walking to the library, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, "There's too much time difference, I'm afraid it's too late... After all,

, should I really compete with that Malfoy for that Slytherin gift now?"

This is undoubtedly a very real problem - when the huge gap in strength is clearly before his eyes, all he can choose is to run away in the same embarrassment as last night, and he may not even be able to escape successfully every time.

While walking, Enns stopped moving forward again.

…

"Professor McLean, today's second round of competition is about to begin. Father asked me to inform you."

While Maka was still chatting with Harry and others in the staff lounge, Sarah knocked on the door of the room.

Although he actually wanted to relax a little more, the event was still very important after all, so he had to get up and prepare to leave.

"Let's go! Although I can't take you all to the front seats to watch the game, today's event should be much more interesting than yesterday. Let's go and watch it together!"

After asking Mr. Hohenheim and other members of the jury to make the competition more interesting, as he said, today's second round of the competition will be more entertaining. It's just that the question setting is a matter for the jury, so

Even he didn't know what the question of today's competition would be.

Considering that many contestants were eliminated in the first round yesterday, the average level of the remaining contestants was naturally much higher, so even Maka couldn't help but look forward to it again.

A few minutes later, Maka, Harry and others said goodbye to each other at the entrance of the arena, and then walked to their seats to wait for the game to start.

"After yesterday's fierce competition among the players, we have said goodbye to our brothers and sisters who have worked hard in this arena. Believe me, their hard work will not be in vain. The remaining players will fight with their will and

Determined to keep moving forward..."

In the middle arena, Lockhart, as the host, was still in high spirits. The lines that came out of his mouth were equally passionate, and as always, there was no half-truth.

"This role really suits him." Maka couldn't help but chuckle on the sidelines.
