Knowing that he was not the only one to discover the crime scene, Hagrid shouted anxiously:

"What are you waiting for, Professor, let's go quickly! You don't know that Nick, who is almost headless, is in terrible condition. He is all black and almost in a state of death. Oh, I forgot, Nick is originally a

The ghost is already dead..."

"What? It was Nick who was in trouble? Oh, Merlin's beard!" Professor McGonagall showed a trace of surprise on her unsmiling face.

You know, Nearly Headless Nick is the representative ghost of Gryffindor House at Hogwarts.

Unlike the evil spirits on the roadside who only want to kill and hate the living, these ghost residents of Hogwarts are good ghosts full of good intentions.

Many of these ghosts were graduates of Hogwarts or people closely related to Hogwarts.

It is precisely because of various obsessions that this group of ghosts chose to continue wandering in Hogwarts after death, and even integrated with the magic school many years later, becoming a rather strange and special landscape.

.

Even a knowledgeable person like Professor McGonagall would have a hard time imagining what kind of creature could make a ghost like "Nearly Headless Nick" who has been dead for hundreds of years fall into a state that is "almost dead".

After all, it is very easy to kill a ghost. At least some Defense Against the Dark Arts spells that can do this are taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts. And leaving the ghost half dead? This is unheard of...

Just as all the professors were preparing to go to the scene where Ghost Nick was murdered, they heard Gu Xiaoheng scream in surprise.

"Wait a minute, before we go, Hagrid, I have something to ask you!" Hagrid turned to look at him, and Gu Xiaoheng asked: "When you came in, did you see any ghosts from the college at the fountain at the entrance to the courtyard?

What?"

Suddenly asked by Gu Xiaoheng inexplicably, Hagrid asked honestly and confusedly: "No? On the way here, I only saw Nick who was almost headless and something happened. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

After receiving Hagrid's negative answer, Gu Xiaoheng replied with a gloomy face: "That's really terrible. Another fat monk ghost from Hufflepuff College is now hanging in front of the courtyard fountain as gray as if he was petrified.

This is almost the second crime scene that just happened!”

The cold wind whistling in the corridor chilled everyone, and the strong popularity that had just gathered in the Gryffindor common room disappeared in an instant before Gu Xiaoheng's words.

That night, people on the entire Hogwarts campus couldn't sleep because of the "two monster murderers" suspected to be lurking on the campus.

.....

Early the next morning, the news that two ghosts from Gryffindor House and Hufflepuff House were attacked and killed last night spread throughout the castle.

Until the first "History of Magic" class in the morning, Harry could hear the students beside him whispering about the details of the murder of the two ghosts.

"Hey, Harry! Did you hear that? It is said that Headless Nick and the Fat Friar were found black and smoke-filled when they were killed. Some people said that the monster that attacked them made them petrified and immobilized.

There was a look of horror on his face!"

Ron, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but chat with the public about the scene where the ghosts were killed.

"Really or not? Ron."

"Of course it's true! Harry, you said you can make long-dead ghosts show panic before they are killed. How scary is this rumored monster in the secret room? Oh my God, this is really scary!"

The little wizards' whispering in class seemed to have caused great dissatisfaction with Professor Binns, who was teaching the History of Magic course in this class.

As the only ghost professor at Hogwarts, Professor Binns, who worked diligently as a ghost to teach at Hogwarts both during his lifetime and after his death, can be considered a boring old-fashioned.

His history of magic class is recognized as the most boring course for young wizards. In the past, when young wizards took his class, they did not dare to whisper due to his majesty. They could only lower their heads to sleep or pretend to be listening to the class.

appearance.

But today, especially after the two consecutive attacks last night, it seems that this History of Magic class is destined to be a little different.

"Quiet! Quiet! Let's continue talking about the history of the collapse of the Great Wall during the first White Walker invasion. Huh??"

Just as silence returned to the classroom, and the old-fashioned Professor Binns was about to continue his boring History of Magic course, something had never happened before in the classroom: Malfoy from Slytherin House was arrogant.

He raised his hands proudly.

Professor Binns raised his head in surprise and looked away from the tall History of Magic textbook in front of him.

Before that, no student had ever dared to raise his hand to interrupt his lecture, whether during his lifetime or after his death.

"This—" Professor Binns, who was used to his usual drawl, had obviously forgotten Malfoy's last name.

"I am Draco, Draco Malfoy!" After proudly announcing his last name like a cock general who had won a cockfight, Malfoy then asked arrogantly:

"I wonder, Professor Binns, can you tell us what the secret room is about? After all, I think many idiots in our college need to hear this. Maybe they can use it when they are attacked these days.

Woolen cloth?!"

Malfoy's controversial words, which almost cursed that other students would be attacked by the monster from the secret room in the future, attracted the attention of all the students in the classroom who were on the verge of dozing off.

Many young wizards from Gryffindor House, including Harry and Ron, glared at Malfoy who was speaking arrogantly.

"Malfoy, don't go too far!" The one who was attacked last night was the ghost of Gryffindor House, and Ron was undoubtedly very angry about this.

"Calm down, Ron!" Blocking Ron's tendency to make a move, Hermione, who was sitting next to him, added in a low voice: "Listen to what the professor has to say. The legend of the secret room we have been hearing may not be complete!

This is a good opportunity to learn about the complete version of the Chamber of Secrets."

Professor Binns blinked.

"My course is the history of magic, Mr. Malfoy!" Professor Ghost said in his unique dry tone: "I study the history of magic with rigorous research, which is the facts! Not those illusory and fake ones.

myths and legends.”

Only halfway through speaking, Professor Binns stuttered and stopped again, because Hermione raised her hands in the air and waved them again.

"Miss Granger?" This time the ghost professor called Hermione, the top student in the History of Magic, by her surname.

"I would like to ask a question, Professor. Legends are based on certain facts, aren't they?"

Professor Binns stared at her blankly, extremely surprised. Harry believed that no student had ever interrupted Professor Binns like this before or after his death.

Today, not only was the professor himself interrupted by a student raising his hand for the first time, but it also happened twice in a row!

"Okay, then I will tell you the legend of this secret room. An ancient story that you said is very sensational and even funny."

When they heard that Professor Binsky was relieved and wanted to tell the complete version of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, the interest of the whole class instantly increased.

Every little wizard in the classroom was staring intently at the ghost professor's face, showing unusually strong interest in it.

"As we all know, Hogwarts was founded thousands of years ago. Although the specific date of the founding of the school is uncertain, the four founders, the four greatest wizards at the time, unanimously chose to name it after their glorious surnames.

Named after their respective houses. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin... The four founders jointly protect the little wizards who know nothing about witchcraft. Teach and guide them.

They are on their way to the glorious path of wizards."

Ron, who had a premonition that he would hear big news next, quietly swallowed hard, and then listened to the professor continue:

"In the first few years after the school was first built, all teaching affairs went smoothly. But gradually, the environment at that time caused differences between the four founders. You know, at that time, there was a fear of magic, and witch hunts were happening one after another.

era. In fact, the fear of magic has not completely disappeared to this day. But at that time, the frequent killings of unarmed young wizards by witch-hunting movements caused dissatisfaction among the founders of Slytherin House."

"Compared to the other three founders, Slytherin himself is more inclined to the blood theory. He advocates pure-blood wizards who come from pure-blood families where both parents are wizards, and is unwilling to accept Muggles who have no magical talent tradition.

A little wizard child from a family. This caused fierce conflicts and quarrels between Slytherin and Gryffindor, which eventually ended with Slytherin himself leaving the school and disappearing."

Just when all the students were confused and had no idea what these legends had to do with the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, they heard that Professor Binns finally focused the explanation of the legend back on the Chamber of Secrets.

"The above is what reliable historical data can tell us, but behind these pure facts there is also a strange legend about the Lost. It is said that Slytherin himself secretly built and kept a secret room in the castle, and the secret room was sealed

A terrifying monster. Only when the true heir of Slytherin comes to the school can the secret room be opened to release the monster and eliminate all those in the castle who are not worthy of learning magic!"

After the story was told, the whole class fell silent. No one even dared to gasp loudly to break this strange silence. It was not until the bell rang that the little wizards packed up their schoolbags and walked out of the classroom with pale faces to prepare for the next class.

However, God did not follow people's wishes. They had just listened to the complete legend of the secret room and were so frightened that as soon as they walked out of the classroom door, they heard a piece of shocking news.

"What? Professor Dumbledore and other professors discovered the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets? I don't know when the door to the Chamber of Secrets opened???"

Just after hearing the terrifying legend of the secret room, the next second you will witness the terrifying legend come true.
