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 the Chamber of Secrets is now open?"

Cavill took the steak very boldly. He directly forked the whole steak with a fork, and it was one-third of the steak 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, some things are not easy to do."

Sherlock thought 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 smugly.

"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, You-Know-Who 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 uneasy, 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 had been opened this year, and it was not the first time in history.

He frowned slightly and asked.

"and then?"

"Then the matter was suddenly resolved." Cavill shrugged, "No one knew 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 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 and learn about this.

"What's the name of that student?"

Cavill hiccups, and it can be seen that he has made a lot of bragging about this incident, and he has clearly remembered what happened.

"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, and said a name full of alcohol.

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

Hearing this name, Sherlock was stunned.

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

"How did you know these things?"

At this time, Cavill's wine was on the rise, and the whole person had already begun to fall asleep.

"How do I know? Rubeus Hagrid was my classmate back then! After all, he's actually a pretty good man... He's just always interested in weird animals..."

By the end, his voice had begun to become inarticulate.

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

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 remaining tuition balance from his pocket and put it on the dining table.

A day's teaching is certainly not worth so much money, but these things 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.

He didn't stay in the hut, and he 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.

"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 removed his disguise in the alley and put his glasses in his pocket before finally walking out of the alley.

He had just hurried to the main road of Hogsmeade when he encountered several professors who were walking by.

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

The person questioning was Professor Sprout, who was accompanied by Professor Sinista, Professor of Astronomy, and Bubaki, Professor of Muggle Studies.

After returning to Hogsmeade, Sherlock's face returned to indifferent, and he replied calmly.

"I did some errands at the Owl Post Office this morning."

Astronomy professor Sinesta, a black woman, invited Sherlock.

"We're going to Three Broomsticks 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 a few female professors for afternoon tea, especially when Sherlock's "character" is cold, there's not much 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 quite a few lower grade students frolic in the hallway.

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.
