The Trinity of Harry Potter

Chapter 62 Revisiting the Secret Room

Harry recently started studying Voldemort.

Since we will have to fight him to the death sooner or later, we must understand his life.

Anyway, I have been researching family trees recently. Voldemort is a descendant of Slytherin, so he cannot just pop out of a rock. Even if he uses a pseudonym, the search scope has been greatly reduced.

After a few days of rest, Kano came to the Chamber of Secrets with Dumbledore again.

This time, the two walked from the exit of the secret room into the school.

Entering the magic-reinforced cave, you walked down some broken stone steps. The old man and the young man all held up their wands to maintain the light and searched both sides with their eyes.

There were no living creatures in the cave, and presumably they were all eaten by the basilisk as dessert.

Soon, the two came to the place where the stench emanated, which was a ball-shaped object made of a large number of bones and feathers that the basilisk could not digest.

With a wave of Kano's magic wand, the remaining matter on these corpses was absorbed by the growing plants, leaving behind the white skeletons buried deep in the ground.

Continuing forward, a huge platform appeared underground. There were traces of the basilisk lying all over the ground. It seemed that the basilisk could be easily accommodated if it doubled in size.

Going further down, there is the passage where the basilisk crawls to the secret room. The two of them walked down the stone steps until they came to the head of the Slytherin statue. The opening of the passage that was opened a few days ago has not yet been closed, and the secret room is filled with...

The fishy smell of snake blood.

Kano looked around strangely, and he could feel a faint magic flowing here.

"Principal, can you feel it?"

Dumbledore, who had been silent all this time, showed a satisfied smile and tapped the wall beside him with his wand.

"Very good, Kano."

Seeing that the principal was still thinking about taking the exam in the secret room, Kano couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

The wall opened to both sides with the input of Dumbledore's magic, revealing a stone slab.

"If the basilisk is fatally injured, it will immediately transform into Maihen and continue to fight the enemy. If the basilisk loses control and harms the wizard, kill it with Godric Gryffindor's sword to avoid the appearance of Maihen.

." the tablet reads.

Kano raised his eyebrows.

It turned out to be the weapon I used, right?

Everything was revealed, but Dumbledore seemed to have no intention of leaving. He flicked his wand, and the words on the slate suddenly changed.

"If my vampire controls a basilisk to kill Hogwarts students indiscriminately when the castle is not breached, the basilisk will be forced into a deep sleep until the vampire dies. This is what happens when the basilisk hatches.

The magic contract signed at Hogwarts Castle cannot be broken."

Kano was dumbfounded as he looked at the hidden second part, unable to recover for a moment.

"Salazar Slytherin used magic to obscure the second part. His descendants cannot see this part." Dumbledore analyzed the composition of magic and touched his beard with interest.

"It seems that he doesn't even fully trust his own blood descendants, and he still has a hand." Kano said with a smile, "It seems wrong to say that, he completely trusts Godric Gryffindor and his descendants.

, firmly believe that they can stop the basilisk from doing evil?"

"Maybe, Salazar and Godric are lifelong rivals, and even lifelong friends. No one understands each other better than them, and no one trusts each other more than them."

Dumbledore waved his hand and hid this text.

"It seems that after Voldemort drove the basilisk to kill Myrtle, the basilisk lost its supernatural abilities and was forced to sleep in the secret room."

"When Voldemort died, the seal of the basilisk was lifted. But Salazar did not expect that his descendants would create Horcruxes and still exist half-dead in the world, circumventing his restrictions in disguise." Cano concluded.

arrive.

"Yes, what Slytherin said is that when the successor dies, the basilisk is unsealed. The death here should refer to physical death. But now Voldemort, because of his state of neither life nor death, can actually make the basilisk unscrupulous.

kill."

Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh when he thought that the once graceful Head Boy had now turned into a puff of conscious smoke.

The two entered the secret room again, and the spear made of the basilisk spine held by Maihan was still on the ground.

Kano picked up the spear and looked at it carefully, and found that it was densely engraved with Egyptian hieroglyphs.

"This is the Book of the Dead, which records the world after death in Egyptian mythology in the form of poetry." Dumbledore took the bone spear and gently touched the hieroglyphic inscriptions containing magic on it with his hand.

"This section tells the story of the guardian of Ra, the cobra god Maihan, fighting with the god of darkness Apib to protect Ra's sun boat through the darkness and bring light to the world."

Suddenly, Dumbledore's expression became strange. He carefully observed the front part of the bone spear and frowned.

"The hieroglyphs here are missing and were erased by someone. This position...should correspond to the heart of the basilisk."

"Heart?" Kano seemed to have thought of something. "In the eyes of the Egyptians, the heart is the symbol of all wisdom. Because the hieroglyphs here were destroyed, will the basilisk-turned-Mahan be without wisdom?"

The old man and the young boy looked at each other and there was no need to think twice. Voldemort must have erased the runes on the basilisk's heart.

"He did not have such a level of magic when he was in school." Dumbledore said with certainty. "It must have been after he became an adult that he secretly entered the secret room from outside the castle and transformed the basilisk."

Kano seemed to be able to see a man whose face was blurred, as if he had been burned by flames. He was wearing a black robe and sneaking into the secret room.

He raised his wand and cast magic on the sleeping basilisk, gradually erasing the wisdom of the guardian left by Slytherin.

"He is truly a scoundrel. But why did he do this? Does he want to lift the restrictions set by Salazar and reawaken the basilisk?"

Dumbledore didn't know that, but Kano took the bone spear from his hand again, Dumbledore summoned the Phoenix Fawkes, and took the two of them directly back to the principal's office.

Coming from the dark secret room to the warm and bright principal's office, Kano couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Carnot placed the bone spear on the table, and Dumbledore took out a silver sealed vessel.

"I have been using stupid methods to kill the neutral defense magic in the diary. This container can ensure that the soul fragments are immortal. Now that the basilisk is dead, I think we can open the box and see how it goes."

Kano watched intently as Dumbledore opened the lid, and a stream of blue smoke billowed out from inside.

Kano didn't feel that there was any power of black magic in it. It seemed that what Voldemort used for final protection was really a pure protective spell.

The diary lay quietly under the box, and Kano carefully touched it with his wand.

Under the gaze of the two people, the diary slowly disintegrated into shards, and a colorless ball of light floated inside. In the middle was a fragment of Voldemort's soul - the brain.

"Sure enough, Tom made more than one Horcrux." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes.

Kano looked at the last layer of undisturbed magic runes on the colorless ball of light and raised his eyebrows.

That's ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
