I am the third son prophesied by Harry Potter

“You’re ——?” Professor Binns didn’t know the students very well, well, to be precise, he couldn’t remember anyone’s name at all.

“I’m Granger, Professor. I wonder if you can tell us what the Chamber of Secrets is all about? Hermione’s voice was very loud.

Just after Hermione asked the question, Eugene’s doze woke up.

Not just Eugene, but everyone in the class sat up straight and wanted to listen.

Professor Binns blinked.

“My course is History of Magic,” he said in a dry, breathless tone, “and I’m studying facts, not myths and legends.” Miss Granger,” he cleared his throat and continued his lecture, “we talked about the International Wizarding Congress in 29, just in October of that year-”

Hermione once again raised her hand high and waved it in the office.

“Miss Granger?” Professor Binns was interrupted again.

“I want to ask, sir, that legends are all based on certain facts, aren’t they?”

Professor Spin froze in place, his mouth opening slightly.

Perhaps, he did not expect that in his class, someone would interrupt repeatedly.

And almost all the students looked at him with praying eyes.

Those eyes with great curiosity looked at him like this.

“Okay.” Professor Binns finally relented, looking Hermione up and down, as if there was finally a student who could keep him firmly in mind.

“Although you are right to say that, the legend is a very sensational, even comical story – let me think, how to say it…”

Professor Binns paused for a moment, seemingly clearing his mind.

“…… Secret—room—” His voice dragged on a little longer.

But the whole class looked at him with full attention, and in his class, there was never before seriousness.

“As you must know, Hogwarts School was founded more than a thousand years ago, the exact time is unknown, about 900 years. At that time, Muggle society was extremely hostile to wizards, which forced the four most talented young wizards at the time to make the decision to stay away from Muggles and open a wizarding training school. These four wizards, everyone also knows: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin.

Together, they founded Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was divided into four houses under the names of the four founders to recruit students according to their teaching goals. – Salazar Slytherin disagreed with the other three over their teaching philosophy, because Slytherin believed that magical education should be limited to pure wizarding families, and he was reluctant to accept Muggle children, believing that they were all unreliable.

“Later, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a violent argument over this issue, after which Slytherin left the school.”

Professor Binns paused, and he pouted.

“Reliable historical sources tell us this,” he said, “but these pure facts are obscured by strange legends about the Chamber of Secrets.” The story says that Slytherin secretly built a room at Hogwarts, and the other three founders knew nothing.

“It is said that Slytherin closed the Chamber of Secrets before leaving the school. That way, no one will be able to open it. Only when Slytherin truly inherits back will he be able to open the Chamber of Secrets and release the horrors inside, allowing him to purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic. ”

When the story was over, the class was immersed.

In fact, Eugene found something unreliable.

Since it is pure-blood, in fact, among the Slytherin students, there are many half-bloods.

Everyone looked at the Slytherins from time to time, as if trying to find an heir from them.

There were also quite a few students who were afraid, those from Muggle families.

Eugene found that Justin’s hands were trembling slightly, and his face was not particularly good-looking.

Finally, everyone’s eyes fell on Professor Binns’ face again.

It seems that I still want to hear him say something more, and I always feel that this story has not been completely told.

Being stared at by the class like this, Professor Binns was also a little impatient, and he even became a little irritable.

“Of course, the above is nonsense,” he said, “and naturally the school has investigated whether there is such a secret room, and many times it has been investigated, and all the learned wizards have been invited. The finding is that the Chamber of Secrets does not exist. This legend only frightens those who are simple-minded. For example, Muggle schools, more or less, the seven incredible events on the campus are all artistic processing nonsense. ”

Hermione’s hand was raised high again.

“Sir—what do you mean when you say something terrifying in the secret room?”

“It is believed to be some kind of monster, and only the heirs of Slytherin can control it.” Professor Binns said.

The classmates exchanged nervous glances.

The Slytherins, for the most part, were a little dazed. Obviously, not much is known about the legends of their own academy, like other academies.

Malfoy looked proud, as if he knew something insider.

“Tell you that thing doesn’t exist.” Professor Binns clumsily sorted out the things on his desk, stressing again, “There are no secret rooms, and no monsters.” ”

“But, Professor Binns,” the other students began to ask, “since only the true heir of Slytherin can open this Chamber of Secrets, others may not be able to find it at all, right?” ”

“Nonsense!” Professor Binns said in an annoyed tone, “None of the previous principals found that thing-”

“But, Professor,” Padma Petyr raised his hand high, “it probably would have to be opened with dark magic—”

“A wizard doesn’t use dark magic, not that he doesn’t. Miss Federney. Professor Binns said he had mistaken his students again.

“I repeat, since someone like Dumbledore—”

“Perhaps, you have to be someone related to Slytherin to open it, so Dumbledore-”

“Enough!” Professor Binns was completely furious, and he roared, “That’s just legend, legend! Kids — well, I really regret telling you that. ”

Silence returned to the classroom.

After about five minutes, Professor Binns resumed his history of magic lesson.

However, everyone did not have much heart to listen, and did not dare to communicate in class, each thinking about the problem of the secret room in their hearts.

As soon as Professor Binns announced the end of class, everyone immediately began to talk about it.

Justin rushed to the lounge in a panic, feeling that someone was watching him.

Eugene tried to comfort him several times, but Justin always hid away.

Justin saw Eugene as having been sent by Harry to spy on.
