Hogwarts: Breaking off the engagement at the beginning and marrying Hermione instead

"No one inside"

"Maybe I heard it wrong. Let's go quickly before we are discovered."

Harry reminded.

But what you fear is likely to come true.

""What are you doing here?

This is the girls' bathroom!"

Percy walked over from a distance and asked in a low voice

"You know, look for some clues."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief.

He was so scared just now.

"Don't tell me that!"

Percy pursed his lips.

The prefect's medal shone brightly in front of him.

"Hurry up - leave!

Go to the hall to eat.

Be quiet, or I will write to my mother.

Learn from Ginny Ron, don't always worry your mother."

Ron looked at Percy's expression, and the anger in his heart was ignited all of a sudden, and he said angrily:

"Why can't I look for clues?

I told you! I didn't touch the cat!

I had nothing to do with the cat being petrified!"

"Gryffindor loses five points! Are you satisfied now? Now let's go back to the hall to eat!" Then he left without looking back.

���Ron was held back by Hermione and Harry and walked in another direction.

"Finally left……"

The women's bathroom, which no one noticed, was opened at this moment.

A sudden voice came from inside the door.

After a moment, it seemed that after confirming that there was really no one,

Brown closed the door.

01 walked to a row of faucets and observed carefully.

"Not this, not this……"

"No? Impossible. Or do I need to use Parseltongue?"

Brawne frowned.

He searched but couldn't find the snake mark.

He tried to use Parseltongue:"Open - the door——"

Along with the hissing sound of a snake, one side of a faucet in the center lit up.

Then a bottomless staircase appeared.

I don't know if it has been opened for a long time, but a fishy and rotten smell came up from the ground.

After a while, Braun decided to go down.

"Fluorescent light flashes!"

Braun raised his wand and walked down with caution.

""Tap! Tap!"

The crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the stairs was clearly audible in this empty and dark space.

If it were someone else, they might have been unable to bear the psychological pressure.

But Braun was different. He was not affected at all.

Instead, he observed with interest.

"It seems that the person who stole the diary last time also came in from here."

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Braun thought so.

Then he carefully erased the footprints he had left on the ground.

But this slowed down a bit.

Fortunately, the stairs were not very long.

After hearing the sound of dripping water, Braun finally came to the ground.

""Swish!"

As soon as Braun's feet touched the ground, the torches placed on the wall suddenly lit up.

Braun, who was used to the darkness, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

In front of Braun was a not-so-long corridor.

Under the illumination of the torches,

Braun could clearly see the stone door opposite.

With some caution, Braun walked over.

There was a distorted font on the door.

Braun felt strange:

""Serpent language?"

Although he could speak some basic snake language with the help of his clone, he had no way to speak words. He had no choice but to summon his clone again.

""Hiss (open)" the clone's hoarse throat made a sound.

With the hissing sound, the stone door slowly opened, revealing the room inside.

It was a huge space inside.

The size was equivalent to that of three auditoriums.

The ground was filled with bones of various animals.

Fishmen, mice, and some strange creatures whose names could not be told.

It seemed that they had been piled up for a long time.

The surface of some bones was already covered with moss.

The winding marks on the ground and the huge snake skin in the corner of the wall swore that there was a powerful hunter here.

Looking up, a huge stone statue stood in the center of the space.

The statue was an old man wearing a wide wizard robe.

The skin was shriveled and clung to the bones, and the long beard dragged to the ground.

The hand holding the magic wand was like a chicken claw.

The ruby eyes were looking down at the ground.

They flickered slightly against the firelight, and matched with the twisted shadow, as if they were alive.

"The basilisk is not here?"

Braun looked around for a while but could not find any trace of the basilisk.

This made him feel a little disappointed.

"Are you looking for the basilisk, kid?"

"Who is it?" (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Braun held the magic wand tightly with caution.

"Don't be nervous."

The stone statue in the center said, opening and closing its mouth.

"What did you say? You are... Slytherin?"

Brown still did not let down his guard.[]

But the other party obviously didn't care much about Braun's vigilance

"That's not quite accurate.

I'm an alchemical item made by Slytherin. The real him is already dead."

"Alchemical items?"

This reminded Brown of the talking stone statue outside the principal's room.

"I am similar to that statue."

The Slytherin statue kindly explained.

"Can you see my thoughts?"

Braun was shocked and used his full power to block the brain, while taking a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid.

I can't see your thoughts, but as an alchemical item of a powerful wizard,

I have inherited some of his memories and also learned some of his knowledge and experience.

And in this school, only the pair of gargoyles are similar to me."

The statue shrugged.

Braun calmed down:

"Can you tell me who else came in?"

"Sorry, no, after entering here, you all have the same identity.

That is the heir of Slytherin, and you are also competitors, so I can't tell you who that person is."

"OK, so what do I need to do? Control the basilisk and purify the school?"

"Of course not, why do you always want to do this?

Or is it that the rumors spread by the original body are too deeply rooted in people's minds?"

The statue seemed to be a little distressed by Braun's words.

"So, what should I do?"

"Give me eternal life……"

The statue spoke in a low voice.

"Immortality?"

Brown couldn't help but think of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

"Then why didn't the other competitor succeed? Didn't he have a Horcrux? Isn't that immortality?"

Braun's words surprised the statue:

"Do you know the other guy?"

"I know part of it. In fact, I was able to enter here with his help."

He summoned his clone.

The stone statue came over to take a look and couldn't help but admire it:

"Very interesting magic. There are some shadows of Herbo"

"I have obtained part of Helpo's inheritance."

Braun said calmly.

""Oh? Really? That's quite unusual.

It looks like you are very good."

The statue said in surprise.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

"Although Horcruxes can also make you immortal, they are not immortal. And since you have inherited Helbo's legacy, you should be aware of its shortcomings."

"Disadvantages? You mean split soul?"

"Yes. Isn't this a shortcoming?"

The statue asked back.

"You are right."

Braun said with his head down.

But he didn't think so in his heart:

"So even Slytherin doesn't know what a real Horcrux looks like?

It seems that a lot of things did happen after Herbert's death."

The statue sighed:

"Herbo was indeed a great wizard.

And he was also a powerful dark wizard.

Unfortunately, he died in the end because of the splitting of the Horcrux!

What a pity!"

"Did Hercule die because of the splitting of the Horcrux?"

"yes……"

The stone statue sighed:

"Maybe your heritage didn't say this, but it's true. At that time, wizards were all priests of the gods.

But later, for some unknown reason, the gods disappeared.

Wizards could only rely on constantly digging out the blood of the gods in their bodies to use magic."

"Gods? There are gods in this world?

Then we are all descendants of gods?"

"There were some in ancient times, but they gradually disappeared.

We wizards are their priests."

Looking at the pious look of the stone statue, Braun always felt a little weird.

This was completely different from the simulated life he had experienced.

In the simulation, wizards were never believers who relied on gods.

Even the black snake witch had mutual benefits with the gods behind her, rather than submitting to the other party.

"So, after Helbo's death, history was tampered with? Or are we really the descendants of those favored by the gods?"

"Are you so shocked that you can't speak? The original body actually had a similar reaction to you when he learned the news!"

The statue kindly reminded him.

"Yes, a little. So if you want to inherit Slytherin's heritage, you need the Elixir of Life?"

Brown asked.

He did not intend to reveal his knowledge of the differences between the Horcruxes and Voldemort.

"It should be, but if you have any other methods, you can try them."
