"You want to enter Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were all shocked by Albert's suggestion.
"But...how do we get into the secret room?"
Lee Jordan was very interested in Albert's proposal. He heard that Harry was the one who defeated the heir of Slytherin in the Chamber of Secrets and killed a terrible basilisk with Gryffindor's sword.
"Stupid, of course we should open the Chamber of Secrets before going in." George rolled his eyes at Lee Jordan. He was also very interested in Albert's suggestion. He still remembered the last time he searched for the Gryffindor treasure.
"Harry can speak Parseltongue, so we can ask him to help us open the Chamber of Secrets." Fred interrupted what Lee Jordan wanted to say.
"That's a good suggestion." Lee Jordan muttered, walked over to Harry and the other two who were playing "Tong" cards in the corner, cleared his throat and said, "Harry, we want to ask you for help!"
"What's the matter?" Harry looked at the cards in his hand and asked with his head tilted in confusion.
"We want to open Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and explore inside. Can you help us open the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets? We know you have the ability to do so." George said first.
Although he had lowered his voice, it still attracted the attention of several others. Ginny's face turned a little pale, and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets obviously left a bad impression on her.
"this… "
Harry never thought that he would be asked to open the Chamber of Secrets.
"What are you doing in the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione threw away the cards in her hand, stared at Albert with wide eyes, trying to get an answer from him.
"Explore, there's no danger in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets anyway." Fred winked at the three of them and said, "Don't you think it would be a big regret in life if you missed this good opportunity?"
"Will it?" Harry muttered, throwing down the card. "I don't think there's anything interesting to explore in the Chamber of Secrets."
"We plan to organize a tour group to visit Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. This is a rare opportunity. You can also go with us." Albert said to Hermione and Ron, "Of course, the prerequisite is that Harry agrees to help us open the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets."
Secret room tour
Hermione and Ron stared at Albert in amazement.
"Don't you want to see the legendary Chamber of Secrets?" Lee Jordan asked, "And the legendary basilisk."
The two of them looked at Harry at the same time, and the expressions on their faces almost said, "Harry, agree now!"
yes!
Everyone is actually very curious about what Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets looks like.
In Albert's words, this is a rare opportunity!
Finally, Harry compromised under everyone's expectant gaze and agreed to participate in the Chamber of Secrets tour.
The next morning, a group of people quietly came to the abandoned girls' bathroom on the second floor.
Seeing that everyone was there, Harry walked to the sink and turned on a faucet, but no water came out.
"The entrance to the secret room is right here." He pointed to the side of the faucet, where a small snake was carved, and said to Albert, "It's almost the same as you told me at the beginning. It took me a long time to find its location at that time."
"Let's start!" Albert motioned for everyone to step back.
"Turn it on," said Harry, staring at the tap.
Everyone only heard a creepy hissing sound, but Albert, who mastered Parseltongue, was able to understand what Harry meant.
The faucet suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and the pool slowly opened up in front of everyone, revealing a very thick water pipe that was big enough for a person to crawl into.
"Okay, the entrance to the secret room is opened. However, I guess the air down there is not very good, so I'll cast a Bubble Head Charm on myself before going down!" Albert took out his wand and cast a Bubble Head Charm on his own head first.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan followed immediately.
Then, in front of Harry's astonished eyes, he cast the Bubble Head Charm on them as well.
"The effect of the Bubble Head Curse will last for about an hour." Albert looked at the people with funny expressions under the Cannon Head Curse and said, "Okay, I'll go down first. Come down when you hear my voice."
As he spoke, Albert cast a shock-absorbing spell on himself and jumped directly down the pipe, a bit like he was sliding down a slide.
It was very wet under the pipe, and fortunately Albert stopped in time.
He waved his wand and conjured a ball of light out of thin air, dispelling the darkness around him, then he spoke to the people above to come down.
Ron looked up at the pipe above and muttered, "How are we going to get up there later?"
"Don't worry, Albert will definitely find a way." Fred patted Ron's shoulder and reminded him, "Let's go."
“But this place is really filthy.”
"Do you think there's something wrong here?" Hermione looked away from the ball of light floating above everyone's heads and said to Albert, looking at the pipes in all directions, "I dare say that Hogwarts definitely didn't have such a drainage system a thousand years ago."
"This place has been renovated by the descendants of Slytherin." Albert said without hesitation: "Perhaps a descendant of Slytherin changed the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets when he was renovating Hogwarts.
"How do you know?" Ron asked.
"Of course I guessed," said Albert.
"If it weren't for the descendants of Slytherin keeping the secret, do you think no one in the school would know about the so-called Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione could easily think of the reason. "The only possibility is that the guy who made these changes is a descendant of Slytherin."
"We must be miles below the school." Albert's voice echoed in the dark tunnel. "Probably under the lake."
"This place is much more boring than Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets!" Fred looked at the darkness around him and was a little disappointed with the so-called Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
"Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help asking, "Gryffindor also has a Chamber of Secrets?"
Harry and Ron secretly pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between the two.
Albert glared at Fred, who loved to show off, with dissatisfaction.
"In the Forbidden Forest," he said. "Those two fools were nearly eaten by a giant acromantula because of that."
"What's in Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets?" Harry demanded.
"There are some interesting traps, but you need to have enough courage to get through them," George introduced excitedly.
"Very dangerous?"
"The journey to find the location of the Chamber of Secrets is dangerous." Albert explained, "Because of Hagrid, there are a lot of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest. Believe me, even the trolls would not want to provoke those troublesome guys."
After that, Albert added: "Of course, the poison of the eight-eyed giant spider is very precious, and one pint is worth one hundred Galleons."
"One hundred Galleons!" Ron's breathing became rapid. He asked impatiently, "Where's the basilisk's venom?"
“It’s probably worth a lot of money.”
"You don't mean to!"
"The basilisk has been dead for several days. Besides, my Care of Magical Creatures class is only average, and I don't know how to extract the venom of the basilisk." Albert glanced at Ron, whose eyes were shining, and said lightly: "However, the fangs and snake skin should be very valuable."
There was a crackling sound, and I don’t know who stepped on the bones of a small animal on the ground.
"There's snakeskin in front," Harry reminded.
Everyone looked in the direction Harry's finger pointed and were stunned by the basilisk's shedding of its skin.
It was a huge snake skin, dozens of feet long and green in color. It was obviously the skin of a poisonous snake. It was lying coiled on the floor of the tunnel.
“Who wants to take a picture?”
An inopportune voice suddenly sounded, and when everyone came to their senses, they saw that Albert had got a camera from somewhere and took a picture of their stunned looks.
Are you really here for tourism
This strange thought suddenly came to everyone's mind.
Then, led by Albert, they stood next to the snake skin and took a few photos.
"This thing can be used to make a bunch of snake skins." Albert raised his hand and knocked on the snake skin and said jokingly.
"Snake leather belt?"
Everyone wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
Even if it's just the shed skin of a basilisk, it's still very intimidating.
"Are you going to take it out?"
"If it can be shrunk, I don't mind, but this thing is probably no worse than dragon skin. There is no good way to deal with it for now!" Albert tried, but the basilisk's skin has a strong resistance to magic and is not easily affected by magic. It is simply impossible to shrink it.
"Is it valuable?" Ron asked cautiously.
"I guess so!" Albert nodded. "After all, fire dragon skin is not rare, but basilisk skin is very rare. Scarcity makes things valuable!"
"Don't be silly. Even if this thing is worth a lot of money, we have to find a way to get it out of here and then turn it into Galleons." George did not forget that they once found snow mushrooms that were worth a lot of money, but in the end they couldn't sell them, so the four of them all ate them.
That thing tastes great, but it hurts to eat it.
