36- The Chamber of Secrets

Today has been the most tumultuous day in Daphne's life.

Her friend Rhys, who is steady and mysterious in his heart, agrees to teach her a powerful magic spell, but the class takes place in the school's women's bathroom. Just when she was seriously thinking about whether her friend had a mental problem, he found a secret entrance hidden in the bathroom.

She only saw Rhys open his mouth, but what came out was not a human voice, but a strange hissing sound.

Daphne: ( O.O )

As an heir to the ancient Greengrass family, Daphne was knowledgeable, and she instantly recognized that Rhys was using Parseltongue.

Thanks to the contribution of a certain Dark Lord, Parseltongue has a very bad reputation in the modern magical world.

It is almost tied to the concept of dark wizards. Many people are prejudiced against Parselmouths.

After Rhys gave the order, the faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly. Then, all the basins started to move. It slowly cracked open and sank into the ground, revealing a water pipe large enough for a man to crawl through.

Looking at the tube, Rhys fell silent.

This was completely different from the entrance to the exclusive classroom he had built, but his intuition and reason told him that this was the place he was looking for.

What would be the impression, this way of entering is too disgusting, right? !

This was Rhys's first reaction when he saw the water pipe. He is one of the founders of Hogwarts and the great wizard Salazar Slytherin. How could he enter his own exclusive classroom in this way?

He was extremely eager to find the culprit who built the entrance like this inside the bathroom, pull him by the collar and have a good 'chat' with him about what "Salazar Slytherin" was in his eyes.

He does like snakes, but that doesn't mean he has the same habit with snakes, or that he's willing to get into a pipe full of hair and mud.

If only the outstanding students of Slytherin House were aware of the existence of this classroom, Slytherin would definitely think that this was a trick done by Gryffindor students.

Looking at Rhys standing silently by the pipe, Daphne felt a little scared. She took two steps forward and asked in a trembling voice: "Rhys, are you a Parselmouth?"

"Mhm,"

After receiving a positive reply from Rhys, Daphne fell silent. After a moment, she asked: "So Rhys, you are the heir of Slytherin?"

I am Slytherin.

But Rhys didn't want the secret to be made public, so he acquiesced.

"Then you ...want to restart the Chamber of Secrets?" Daphne's eyes flashed with a look of intolerance. Being from the Greengrass family, she had naturally heard the legend about the secret room. Perhaps it cannot be described as a legend, because that news was revealed to their ancestors by the Gaunt family, the descendants of Slytherin.

Rhys: The Chamber of Secrets? Oh, that's right. If you think about it carefully, one can indeed use the word "secret chamber" to describe my own exclusive classroom, because now, the students and teachers from the other three houses don't know this place!

I am opening my own exclusive classroom. I am indeed restarting the secret chamber. There is nothing wrong with it.

He nodded naturally, but at the same time, he felt a little strange: What happened to Daphne? Why has she started behaving so dull today? Didn't you fully wake up after the history class?

At this time, Rhys still didn't know how shocking the words "restarting the Chamber of Secrets" were to the young witch who came from a pure-blood family.

Daphne looked at Rhys whose face was full of "that's it", and her heart was filled with shocking emotions.

It turns out he is this kind of person...

She couldn't help but tremble: The boy in front of her was about to kill all the Muggle-born students in the school, but his expression didn't even change! This kind of person is a natural killing machine. Does he really have human emotions? His gentle appearance before was all an act?

It's really terrible.

Daphne had goosebumps all over her body. She took a deep breath and said with a look of death, "Do you want to kill Hermione too?"

Rhys: "Huh?"

He was confused.

How did their conversation jump from "opening the Chamber of Secrets" to "killing Hermione"? He actually couldn't keep up with the thoughts of the little girl in front of him.

"Why?" Rhys spread his hands. He was really confused now: "Why should I kill Miss Granger? There must be a reason, right?"

"Because she is a Muggle-born student."

Rhys: 'Daphne, I thought you were a good girl ! ! !'

"Miss Daphne Greengrass, you are a bit too extreme."

Rhys stared at Daphne and said seriously: "Miss Granger is a student of Hogwarts. She has not betrayed the wizarding world and Hogwarts. Even the Headmaster Dumbledore had no power to execute her - even if the four founders were resurrected, they would not support your idea."

Rhys didn't understand. Daphne, a little girl who usually seemed quite normal, had such extreme thoughts in her mind.

Want to kill a student just because he is a Muggle-born? What a crazy delusion! He couldn't help but want to use Legilimency to see what she was thinking.

Yes, although he is a master of Legilimency, he hardly uses this ability in daily life.

Looking at the serious Rhys, Daphne's brain was also stuck.

She didn't understand why Rhys would stand on the moral high ground and say such righteous words to herself - you are the heir of Slytherin who wants to open the Chamber of Secrets! Didn't you come here just to eliminate the Muggle blood in Hogwarts? What's with that look? How do I act like I'm a pure-blood supremacist?

"But, uh, aren't you going to open the secret room?" She stammered in response.

Rhys: "So ?"

"Does this have anything to do with the conversation just now?"

"It is said that the Chamber of Secrets was built by Salazar Slytherin before he left school, and was sealed after he left school. Only he and his heirs can open it. He placed a terrifying monster in the Chamber of Secrets, and only the heir of Slytherin can control it. When it is put into use, it can "purify the school" and remove all those who Slytherin deems unworthy of learning magic." Daphne told Rhys the legend about the Chamber of Secrets that she knew.

Rhys fell into a long silence.

Now he finally understands why Slytherin House is like a villain in public reviews - how can it not look like a villain if it promotes this crap every day? !

This rumor is half true and half false.

You can't say that it is pure nonsense because Rhys really built a "secret room" and raised a monster in it.

But if you say that 'this' was the reason he raised the chamber's monster, Rhys will be very happy to hit someone with a killing curse.

"This is slander." Rhys said categorically, "There is no such thing as purifying the school. Slytherin didn't do it when he was in school, so a beast he left behind after he left can do it? Ridiculous! What's more! Slytherin has no such crap intentions of ​​purifying the school."

At the end of the sentence, Rhys did not forget to add something to avoid misunderstanding.
