Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 76: The secret room that was opened 50 years ago

"The Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has been opened again."

Cavill asked drunkenly.

"You should know the legend of the secret room, right?"

Sherlock looked casual.

"The founder of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, and the other three founders had different ideas, thinking that Muggle-born students were not worthy of Hogwarts to learn magic, so he built a secret room to hide the terrifying monsters In it, waiting for his descendants to open the secret room and cleanse the entire castle."

He blinked, staring at Cavill.

"How did you know that the secret room is now opened?"

Cavill ate the steak very boldly. He directly used a fork to fork the whole piece of steak, and it was a third of it in one bite.

"My grandson is in sixth grade at Hogwarts, and although the great wizard Dumbledore has been holding things down and not spreading them out, some things are not easy to do."

Sherlock pondered for a moment, and it seemed to him that there was indeed a Hufflepuff student surnamed Cavill in the sixth grade.

"But why do you say it again? When has the Chamber of Secrets been opened before?" Sherlock asked softly.

Cavill smiled complacently.

"Haha, this is a little-known thing, although they always say that every time I drink, I have to brag about it..."

He ate the rest of the steak into his stomach in three or two bites, snorted twice, and began to speak in a rich tone.

"About fifty years ago, um~ probably not so long, my memory has begun to deteriorate, and I have forgotten exactly when. But at that time, the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, was just a An ordinary Transfiguration professor."

"That year, the mysterious man didn't know where he was playing in the mud, and there was an unending attack in Hogwarts."

"A student died because of this, there was a big commotion, and the students in the entire castle were worried about it, they all said that the secret room was opened, and someone released the monster that Slytherin was hiding in the castle. , ready to start cleaning the entire campus."

It was the first time that Sherlock knew that the Chamber of Secrets was opened this year. It was not the first time, it had happened once in history.

He frowned slightly and then asked.

"and then?"

"Then the matter was suddenly resolved." Cavill shrugged, "No one knows why, the principal at the time suddenly announced that the student's death was just an accident. There were no further attacks, but Hogwarts expelled a student that term."

"Did the attack end after the student was expelled?"

"It's just what you think, Watson." Cavill's voice gradually became low. "As long as you use your brain a little bit, you can guess that the student who was expelled must have something to do with the secret room..."

Sherlock's attention was completely focused. He didn't expect that he would only come out to attend a cram school to learn about this.

"What's that student's name?"

Cavill hiccupped, and it could be seen that he made a lot of bragging about it, and he remembered everything clearly.

"That student was expelled from Hogwarts fifty years ago, but he hasn't left Hogwarts even now, and Dumbledore still trusts him. I've always felt that Dumbledore looked at people. There is a problem with eyesight..."

He didn't continue to sell off, he said a name full of alcohol.

"Rubber Hagrid, the current Hogwarts key keeper, gamekeeper, and a loyal follower of Dumbledore."

Hearing this name, Sherlock was stunned.

It took him a long time to regain his senses and asked with a solemn expression.

"How did you know these things?"

At this time, Cavill's drink was on the rise, and the whole person was already drowsy.

"How do I know? Rubeus Hagrid was my classmate back then! Speaking of which, he's actually a good person... He is always interested in those strange animals..."

At the back, his voice has become inarticulate.

But the most important thing, Sherlock had already understood, and he was not in the mood to continue listening to what he said later.

He never thought that the matter of the Chamber of Secrets was actually related to Hagrid, because of Hagrid's appearance and personality, no one could associate him with the identity of Slytherin's descendant.

Sherlock stood up from the chair, and Cavill's snoring could already be heard in his ears.

He took out the remainder of the tuition fee from his pocket and put it on the dining table.

Of course, a day's teaching is not worth so much money, but the things he learned from his mouth are worth it!

Cavill obviously wanted to befriend him, but Sherlock definitely couldn't reveal his true identity to him, so he would give out the money that should be paid, and everyone would not owe each other in the future.

She didn't stay in the hut, and she didn't intend to use the floo powder to go back.

Sherlock walked to the venue where he practiced Apparition in the morning, and chanted the spell directly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Apparation."

His body disappeared in the cold wind, and the next second, in the distant town of Hogsmeade, he reappeared in a secluded alley.

Sherlock took off his disguise in the alley, put his glasses in his pocket at the same time, and finally walked out of the alley.

When he hurriedly walked to the main road of Hogsmeade, he encountered several professors walking by.

"Oh, Sherlock? When did you come out?"

The person who asked the question was Professor Sprout, who was accompanied by Professor Sinista, Professor of Astronomy, and Bubbaji, Professor of Muggle Studies.

After returning to Hogsmeade, Sherlock's expression returned to indifference, he replied calmly.

"This morning, I went to the Owl Post Office to do some business."

Astronomy professor Sinista, a black woman, invited Sherlock.

"We're going to the Three Broom Bars for afternoon tea, do you want to come with us?"

Sherlock subconsciously wanted to refuse, but then he changed his mind and agreed again.

Accompanying several female professors for afternoon tea, especially when Sherlock's "character" was cold, there was nothing to talk about during this time.

He just sat in the bar for about two hours, then got up and said goodbye to Professor Sprout and the others, and returned to the castle.

On Saturday afternoon, there were many lower grade students frolic in the corridor.

Sherlock didn't go back to his office, but went straight to a stone monster at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

"I want to see Professor Dumbledore."

The Stone Monster didn't reply immediately, it seemed to be asking about the attitude of the people in the office, and then it got a response, making way for Sherlock.
