Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

At Hogwarts, one thing that is almost universally acknowledged among young wizards is the fact that History of Magic classes are extremely boring.

However, even so, it is still one of the compulsory subjects at Hogwarts.

For thousands of years, many kinds of magic courses have been changed again and again with the advancement of the times, but the history of magic has always remained on the students' schedules, and has not been cancelled, even for a single day.

If you have to ask why, Maca McLean, who likes this course very much, may tell you - history, which can answer your doubts.

Just like a certain question, it has troubled many Hogwarts students and even professors.

They don't understand why the founders of Hogwarts chose to teach in such distinct schools. Some think it's about individualizing students, others think it's about cultivating a sense of competition, and some even say it's simply a fault left over from a feud between the founders.

However, these people actually think too much.

Because you only need to look through the ninth chapter of Hogwarts: A School History to know that Hogwarts will always be one. And the spirit advocated by each college is essentially the same.

Going forward bravely like Gryffindor may help you reach your destination; but sometimes if you can choose to retreat calmly like Slytherin, it may not necessarily mean that you are one step away from your goal.

Although few students would be interested in this inconspicuous truth, only a few young wizards would keep the book Hogwarts: A School History in mind. But coincidentally, Ens, who theoretically would never read this kind of book, went through it carefully several times because of the relationship between Slytherin and Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets.

...Calm down, Ensi said to himself in the crowd, Think about it, what should I do now... what is it?

As he settled down to think silently, his footsteps also slowed down. And when Malfoy's back in front became farther and farther away, and was finally completely submerged by the flow of people, he suddenly turned around and walked back.

The Chamber of Secrets! Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets! Now that he's gone, isn't that the best time for me to go to the Chamber of Secrets to find out? Ence said in his heart as he walked through the crowd, I hope there is no place given by him. destroyed--

I returned all the way from the vicinity of the school gate, and on the way I went to pick up a broomstick as last time so that I could return safely.

Not long after, Erns, who was careful to avoid the eyes of others,

Then I came to the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

This time the crying Myrtle didn't seem to be here, but some unnecessary delays were saved, and he quickly followed the pipeline under the sink to the secret room deep in the castle's underground again.

That's right... If it were me, I'm afraid I would do the same...

In fact, he had already thought of this possibility after he went back last night. It’s just that if you don’t come here to see it with your own eyes, you can’t be reconciled, can you?

That's right, Erns saw it at this moment—behind the previous wall, there was indeed a secret chamber of secret chambers. It's a pity that now it can only be called a ruin among the ruins.

Behind the hard rock wall that had a big hole smashed out, there were traces of destruction everywhere in that small space. Chips of wood, scraps of paper, and scraps of bricks everywhere, even the walls of the stone room were covered with cracks like spider webs.

It can be seen that it is a trace of being smashed by some kind of force.

Restored as before!

Standing in front of the gap in the stone wall, Erns swung his wand and cast a mending spell, but the spell didn't have the desired effect. He didn't know whether this was due to his own lack of ability, or whether the things here really had no possibility of being restored to their original state.

With the light emitted by the glowing spell of his wand, Erns saw some pages of books pressed under the bricks, and he walked in without giving up. He wanted to try to see if he could use his own hands to spell out an answer that should belong to him from these pieces of paper that might contain important information.

Uh……

As soon as he picked up a piece of broken page on the ground, he didn't even continue to use force, and the broken piece turned into dry and greasy crumbs between his fingers.

... Draco Malfoy!

Ernes, who was getting more angry at Malfoy for the completely rotten paper, didn't know that the books and papers that were originally placed here had already rotted with the change of time because of the failure of the preservation magic.

But at this moment, countless green light spots suddenly spewed out from the cracked brick wall behind him, silently circling around him.

These tiny light spots are like countless fireflies, which look extremely beautiful.

And just as Ensi was amazed by the sudden and wonderful sight, they flew away quickly, covering the severely damaged stone room with a light green phantom.

After a while, Ensi was surprised to find that everything in the stone chamber seemed to have returned to its original appearance. Because those points of light have now merged into one, recreating the original furnishings of the stone chamber in the form of an approximate image.

Desks, cabinets, tapestries, hangers, except that these images are covered with a layer of green, everything seems to have really appeared in Enns' vision.

He looked around, then suddenly raised his head, and a large map hanging on the wall above the desk was particularly clear. It can be said that these images look much clearer and more stable than when Maca injected his own magic power to activate it.

Yes, in fact, that is to say, everything Maca did when he came here to find clues in the past was wrong. Only passing the Slytherin test, as Erns had done last night, was the right way to activate these images.

Of course, there is no correct way to say it now, whether it is Erns, Malfoy or Maca. After all, this place was only exposed after Maca brutally teared it down from the very beginning, and no matter how you think about it, this could not be the original intention of that Salazar Slytherin.

this is……

Ensi, who was attracted by the ancient map, started to have a headache again after just looking at it, because he couldn't understand the words marked on it.

Last time Hufflepuff's letter was a variant of ancient runes, but now on this map, it is obviously another ancient text symbol. To be honest, if it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to fight with some ancient text translation dictionary.

Ugh……

Fortunately, after he put aside the depression in his heart and turned his eyes to the map again for a while, a red circle that was quite conspicuous in the faint green drew all his attention.

Even if he can't understand a single word, but since the reminder is so clear at a glance, what reason does he have to complain?

Ensi suppressed the irritability in his heart, and firmly imprinted the position of the red circle and the characters marked next to it in his mind. After the phantom shrouded in the stone room gradually dissipated, he quickly left The real Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

The map is clearly marked, and the details are easy to understand. He can understand that the location should be in a mountain range. As long as he puts the things in his memory on the paper as they are, and then checks and compares them, he will be able to quickly find the general location.

As for what troubles and rewards there are in that place, you will only know when you get there... No, to be precise, maybe he has to find a way to get there before Malfoy.

That guy must be looking for that place... Ensi couldn't help but feel a little anxious while walking towards the library with all his heart, There is too much time difference, I'm afraid it will be too late... After all , Now, should I really compete with that Malfoy for that Slytherin gift?

This is undoubtedly a very real problem - when the huge gap in strength is clearly in front of him, all he can choose is to flee in the same embarrassment as last night, and he may not even be able to escape successfully every time.

As he walked, Erns stopped his progress again.

...

Professor McLean, today's second round of competition is about to start, and my father asked me to inform you.

When Maca was still chatting with Harry and the others in the staff lounge, Sarah knocked on the door of the room.

Although he still wanted to relax a bit, after all, the event was still very important, so he had to get up and prepare to leave.

Let's go! Although there is no way to bring you all to the front seats to watch the game, but the content of today's game should be much more interesting than yesterday, let's go and watch it together!

After suggesting to Mr. Hohenheim and other members of the jury to enhance the fun of the competition, as he said, today's second round of competition will be more entertaining. It's just that it's the jury's job to set the question, so even he doesn't know what the question will be today.

Considering that many contestants were eliminated in the first round of competition yesterday, the average level of the remaining contestants has naturally increased a lot, so even Maca can't help but look forward to it again.

A few minutes later, Maca, Harry and the others said goodbye to each other at the entrance of the arena, and then walked to their seats to wait for the match to start.

After the fierce competition of the players yesterday, we have bid farewell to the brothers and sisters who have worked hard on this field. Believe me, their hard work will not be in vain, and the remaining players will bring their will and Determined to keep moving forward...

In the middle of the arena, Lockhart, as the host, was still in high spirits. The lines that come out of his mouth are just as impassioned and, as always, half-truthless.

This role is really suitable for him. Maca couldn't help chuckling on the sidelines.
