Chapter 142 The Magician and His Assistant



Chapter 142 The Magician and His Assistant
Hogwarts underground.

"I don't know why Professor Sprout is very upset these two days. I heard from the Hufflepuff students that she moved a lot of plants into the common room of the college. But Snape has changed, he now There will be almost no point deductions in class."

Penello recounted what happened in the castle during William's bedridden days.

Her words sent a shivers down William's spine.

"Those devil's nets were destroyed by Tom Riddle, yes, they were all done by Voldemort, and have nothing to do with me."

William said silently in his heart.

In order to get rid of the devil's net, he had to use the rune word "glacier", which caused serious damage to them beyond repair.Devil's net is a rare and precious magical plant, and it will undoubtedly take a lot of effort to grow it to such a large clump.

"Going down from the front platform, we have arrived at the chamber of secrets left by Salazar Slytherin."

Walking beside Penello, William held up his wand, and introduced in detail how he, Dumbledore and Harry explored the Chamber of Secrets that day.

"I always thought that there should be a door or something at the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets. Didn't you say that the entrance to the bathroom was actually built by the descendants of Slytherin, the Gaunt family, to hide the location of the Chamber of Secrets? ?”

Penello asked with some doubts.

The light on the top of the wand was not bright enough to hide William's embarrassment - naturally there was a door here, but later he felt that the door with a certain amount of intelligence and that would not be asked by the sufferer himself was of great research value , even the wall was removed.

That's not a very difficult process.

Although Salazar Slytherin cast heavy protective spells on the very thick metal door, William just got the house-elves to work together to cut the wall that sealed the door around it. When they got down, they easily brought them back to the underground factory.

"You'll have a chance to see it."

William was vague and confused.

They walked up to the small square dais, the only place they could look into the eyes of the Incomparable Slytherin's statue—"He's arrogant, isn't he? He's the only one left of the Big Four." Such a magnificent statue." William said with emotion.

"But I think Salazar Slytherin must have felt very lonely when he decided to build this statue, because he had no one to share his achievements, so he could only use this form to remind people to remember himself. "

Penello said suddenly.

This of course sounds absurd.

But William couldn't help but feel a little depressed, because if what Penello said was true, Salazar Slytherin wouldn't even have the chance to show the statue to his friends.

"But you are different from him, completely different."

Penello looked at William seriously.

From the first day he came to Hogwarts, she witnessed what William accomplished, which was beyond what any other little wizard could do, or even imagine, but William accomplished it with ease. , and with incredible efficiency.

This question was only answered some time ago—who would have thought that a fourth-year transfer student would be that Heisenberg—but this answer itself brought more questions.

Why did he come to Hogwarts?
How did he think of those things?
What does he want to do in the future?
In Penello's view, William is like a magician.Every time he puts his hand into the black hat with a smile, he always pulls out something novel, whether it's a rabbit, a flower, or a flock of pigeons.

Everyone will appreciate the novelty of magic and applaud wildly for them.But audiences often don't really care how the magician achieves it, and because of this, magicians are often lonely.

"But that would be such a disappointment."

Penello bit her lower lip lightly.

At the beginning, she was just an audience who couldn't help admiring the magician's performance—but later, she felt that compared with his performances, the magician himself was as interesting, or even more interesting. many.

She wants to be the magician's assistant, like Sherlock Holmes's Watson, because the magician only tells his secrets to his trusted assistants.

"It is said that Salazar Slytherin originally built the Chamber of Secrets just to have a secret place where he could share secrets with his apprentices that were not suitable for teaching other wizards."

William changed the subject bluntly.

After reading Slytherin's notes, he naturally knew that those secrets actually referred to the Unforgivable Curse.At the beginning of the establishment of Hogwarts, the Big Four had reached a consensus-they would never use black magic in this castle, let alone use them to harm others.

But sadly, as mentioned in "Hogwarts: A School History", decades later, in order to avenge his students, Salazar, who was in great grief, broke himself With this agreement, Avada Kedavra was used to kill the black wizard who was about to escape.

During the conversation, they walked across the long square.During these days, a shallow layer of water had accumulated on the floor of the chamber.

Salazar Slytherin's mouth fell open.

"Usually, the basilisk must rest behind here."

William pointed to the deep passage and said.

"What's behind that?"

Penello curiously raised the wand that was shining with gentle light, and leaned over to look inside.The hidden door had already closed automatically, and only Harry could open it.

"Why don't we go and see?"

William said excitedly.

That night, after discovering the real secret room left by Slytherin, they were busy moving all kinds of precious books, materials, and materials away, so they didn't continue to explore—because William was very concerned about this passage. There is also speculation about where it leads.

The planning map of the pipeline shows that after leaving the area, there is only a single outlet.

In fact it is.

After walking along the dark passage for a while, William and Penello saw a faint light. It came from a particularly spacious passage made of bricks and stones. Many pipes bypassed the secret room and converged here. together.

In the middle of the pipeline is a very wide water channel, the water level is about half of the height at the moment, and there are narrow walking paths on both sides. William can clearly smell the fragrance of Penello's long hair beside him. reddish.

At the end of the passage, there is a red brick-sealed upper part of the wall. The water channel flows out from here and converges into the black lake.

"We must be very close to the Black Lake now."

William guessed that it was hard for him to imagine in the era of the Big Four, how they dug out such a secret room as deep as the bottom of the Black Lake.In front of them, there was a metal platform that should have been silver in the past. There was a wooden pole horizontally in front of this platform, and there were depressions leading straight to the top.
