And Slytherin himself, or the concept of that era, was quite cruel.
Many experiments, just looking at the experimental designs, felt to Ted that they were a bit too cruel.
If the current wizards knew this, they would be beaten to death with random punches.
"These things are too dangerous. I will first screen and select some studies that we can use. Comprehensive learning is impossible, and many things are no longer suitable."
Friends naturally support Ted's decision. After all, many things on the bookshelf are so scary that people dare not read them anymore just by turning two pages. Some contents can make people want to vomit just by describing them in words.
This thing makes me feel evil even if I look at it again!
Hermione glanced around and asked quietly, "Are we going to leave these things here?"
"I'm worried that it won't be long before the professors seal the entrance, right?"
Her worries were reasonable, but Ted felt that it was impossible to seal it, but it was impossible to enter like this again.
Maybe Dumbledore would use this place as a temporary shelter, or a fallback route.
Over the past thousand years, countless secret rooms leading to the outside world have been built in the school. One more is one more!
"I think we could use the Room of Requirement!"
"Room of Requirement?" Harley was surprised.
"Uh~" Ted glanced at Hermione, this secret could no longer be kept.
After talking about the Room of Requirement, Ted was complained by his friends for a while.
Why didn't you tell us about such an interesting place earlier? We stayed there from morning to night!
Ted: I’m just afraid that if you guys find out, you’ll cause trouble in there every day! There is also a crown there. If you really come across it, you will probably be in bad luck!
Ted used a kind of contract magic. The six of them signed a temporary magical contract and swore to keep the door of Ravenclaw's secret room secret. They wanted to borrow the magical power of Hogwarts to create a magical contract belonging to the six of them. A secret base!
This time it's a real secret base, not an abandoned classroom.
From now on, even the principal will not be able to pry here.
After all, Ted had obtained a lot of information in the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, especially the many records in the diary about her construction of the school, so it was not difficult to borrow the school's magic power.
In fact, even now, professors have ways to draw on the power of the school, such as organizing clubs, which is equivalent to holding a small part of the authority.
Ted just bypassed their permissions and applied for a small permission from the backdoor.
From then on, like the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets, only the six of them could enter this secret base with the Room of Requirement as its entrance.
"Okay, I think it's almost done!" Ron complained weakly.
After "applying" for the base, the two girls started dressing up the base. They were still not satisfied after more than an hour, which made Ron and the others tired!
Wouldn't it be enough to have a few bookshelves, tables, chairs, and sofas? Why is it a sculpture, a flower, a painting, and a porcelain vase... It's so good at ink!
Ted has selected some knowledge suitable for learning and understanding now and put it on the bookshelf.
Not only those from Slytherin, but also from Ravenclaw.
There are two large bookshelves just for the information on ancient magic texts!
A normal person would probably need a year and a half just to read through it.
Elective courses will be held next year, so now is the time to preview magic literature in advance.
There are also about the evolution of magic spells and some ancient magic spells that are not too extreme. You can learn both of these when you have time.
Because it is completely different from the current magic system, it might have an unexpected effect. Of course, the difficulty is also extremely high.
…
Everyone was excited about the secret base for a whole day, until dinner time, Hermione suddenly said: "Have we forgotten Gryffindor's treasure?"
Only then did the four Gryffindors remember: Yes! How come we forgot our ancestor?
There are only a few days left before the holiday, and it is estimated that there will be no chance this year.
Ron suggested: "Tell me, can we apply to stay in school?"
Harry dispelled his delusion: "Stop dreaming, students are not allowed to stay in school during the summer vacation."
"But it's so boring to go home for the holidays!" Ron suddenly felt that it was better to be at school. Big chicken legs are all you can eat every day. There is nothing interesting to do when I get home, and I don’t have the company of my friends.
"I still hope to stay in school and study and have fun together. I have learned almost nothing this year..." he said.
Jerry patted Ron on the shoulder: "My mother said that after experiencing setbacks, people will become smarter... but they will not become rich."
Ron was quite happy at first, but finally rolled his eyes: Thank you for reminding me! I'm going to buy a wand as soon as I have a holiday.
"We should at least take advantage of these few days to check on Sir Cadogan, right?" Hermione suggested.
Ted took out a book and said, "I have checked...Sir Cadogan is said to be a knight from the Merlin period. Legend has it that he is one of the Knights of the Round Table."
Everyone rushed to grab the book and began to read it.
After watching it for a long time, I felt a little confused.
Harley threw the book away and complained: "Where can we find this character who is older than the school? If we can find him, we might as well go find Merlin!"
It's probably something like a portrait or sculpture. Gryffindor wouldn't be able to spread clues all over the world, so it's most likely that it's still in school.
The next day, during breakfast, the students in the school received the "Daily Prophet" delivered by owl.
The headline on the front page was "Shocking!" Shock at Hogwarts! 》.
Ted: Does this headline sound familiar?
Take a look, good guy, it is said to be the whole story of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets Incident.
However, many things are based on hearsay, and the words are used to exaggerate the terrifying and tense atmosphere. Those who didn’t know better thought it was a suspense thriller.
And although there is no explicit mention of Dumbledore, there are subtle hints between the lines that Dumbledore has done something disgraceful in it.
It was also said that nearly ten students were attacked and petrified! Five can indeed be said to be nearly ten people...
The final summary also included some strange questions.
This pole looks like it came from the South.
Ted looked at the end, "Written by: Daily Prophet Special Correspondent - Rita Skeeter."
This bitch is quite capable of stirring up trouble!
After reading the newspapers, many young wizards felt that this year had been too hard and dangerous.
Some of the more intelligent young wizards felt a little awkward. There seemed to be something wrong with this article. But I can't find anything wrong with it.
Ted was thinking about what the girl in the original novel, who was always trying to gain popularity and make up nonsense, and would say anything for the sake of popularity and sales, wanted to do?
This is Dumbledore!
Not only is he the pinnacle of the wizarding world in Great Britain, he is also recognized by the entire wizarding world as the greatest white wizard in the world.
Although it has been very low-key in the past ten years, the recognition is still there. How could someone suddenly attack him?
The pure-blood faction represented by Lucius?
No, Lucius should be very honest because of the diary issue recently and would never offend Dumbledore. Even when he was kicked out of the school board, he accepted it without any objection.
Who could that be? There is no one behind the scenes, so this bitch shouldn't take the initiative to defeat Dumbledore.
It can be seen from the fact that these little wizards are still in school that this article is still useful.
Although there are no real guns or swords coming, I'm afraid it's just a start.
But Ted didn't intend to care. It would be a good thing for him to find something to do for Dumbledore.
Although they have already talked about it and both parties have expressed their opinions, it is uncomfortable to have a pair of eyes staring at you all the time.
It was holiday soon, and Ted gave Hagrid a small gift - a small moving basilisk figurine.
I hope he can forget the pain of squatting in Azkaban for several days.
Hagrid: Oh, my God, look at it, how cute it is~
Ted: My friend, this is not fun to raise!
