Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 68 The Secret Room and the Inheritor

The dinner party gradually came to an end, and Nidia calmed down from the initial excitement. She began to miss Michelle a little. If Michelle knew that she had missed so many interesting things just now, she would definitely feel regretful. I wonder if she encountered anything interesting at the death anniversary dinner.

Nitya looked at the time and saw that it was not too late. The death anniversary dinner should not be over yet! Maybe if I go there at this time, I can see what a ghost party is like.

After making this decision, Nidia quietly left her seat. Originally, she considered calling George and Fred, but seeing them having fun in the crowd, she didn't bother them. She trotted out of the restaurant door and came to the foyer outside.

"Where are you going secretly?"

Nydia was about to go to the basement when Draco's voice sounded from behind her.

"Why are you out here? The party isn't over yet!" Nidia felt a little guilty. It felt like every time he tried to do something secretly, Draco would always find out what he was doing.

"Why isn't Michelle with you today?" Draco asked.

"She and Harry went to Nick's death anniversary party." Nydia explained.

"Death anniversary party? This is indeed her style! So are you going to find her now?" Draco now knew the reason why Nydia left the party midway.

"Well, do you want to come with us? It's in the basement, pretty close to your common room."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in attending the ghost's party! I'm very tired and ready to go to the dormitory." Draco looked a little tired.

"Has the Quidditch training been hard lately?" The time for the Quidditch match is getting closer and closer, and whether it's Gryffindor or Slytherin, the training intensity is getting more and more intense.

"After all, the game is about to start, so this training is necessary." Draco said nonchalantly, "Let's go! Since you are going to the basement, let's go together."

"Hmm...wait a minute." Nidia, who was planning to walk toward the basement, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked confused.

"Shh! It's that voice! Snake!" Nydia made a silent gesture to Draco, and then listened to the voice with all her concentration.

"...hungry...killing people...I smell blood..."

kill! ! The smell of blood! !

"Oops! Something might happen!" Nidia hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound.

"What happened? What did it say?" Draco didn't understand what Nydia heard, but when he saw her running away suddenly, he was worried about what would happen, and immediately followed her.

Nidia ran all the way, first searching the second floor, but found nothing, and then immediately ran to the third floor.

"What happened? Tell me what it said?" Draco asked Nydia in confusion.

"It said it was going to kill people! What's the smell of blood? I don't know if something has happened!" Nitya answered anxiously, running quickly to the third floor.

"Killing someone? Shouldn't the teacher be notified and let them handle it? This could be dangerous!" Draco stepped forward and grabbed Nydia.

"It's too late!" The snake may have already committed an attack. Nidia couldn't wait to find the teacher and explain to the teacher that she could hear the snake talking. She broke free from Draco's hand and continued searching on the third floor!

Finally, Nidia saw a horrifying scene in the corridor after turning a corner.

It was Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat. Her tail was hung on the torch stand, her body was as stiff as a board, her eyes were wide open, staring straight at a large puddle of water on the ground.

In front of Mrs. Norris, four people who were very familiar to Nydia stood blankly, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Michelle.

"What's going on?" Nitya asked the four of them.

The four of them were startled when they heard the sound, and breathed a sigh of relief when they turned around and saw it was Nidia.

"What did you do to that cat?" Draco, who followed Nydia, looked at everything in front of him in confusion.

"We didn't do anything, don't talk nonsense, Malfoy." Harry frowned. It was a very bad thing for Malfoy to see this scene.

"The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir must be alert." Draco ignored Harry's words at all. He squinted his eyes and read the writing on the wall behind Mrs. Norris.

"This is what it was like when we came here..." Michelle looked at Nidia anxiously. She seemed to have something else she wanted to tell Nidia, but it was not convenient to say it now.

"Listen to me," Ron said, "I don't want us to be discovered here and misunderstood by others..."

However, it was too late. A low noise told them that the banquet was over. From both ends of the corridor where they were, there were the sounds of hundreds of feet stepping on the stairs, as well as people's cheerful chatter and laughter.

Immediately afterwards, the students came to the aisle pushing and shoving. When the people in front saw the upside-down cat, the original chirping sound suddenly disappeared, and everyone's eyes were focused on the four people closest to the cat. body.

"What happened here? What happened?"

Filch was attracted by the crowd that suddenly stopped. He squeezed through the crowd with his shoulders and came to the front. When he saw Mrs. Norris, he stumbled back a few steps and grabbed hold of her with his hands in fear. own face.

"My cat! My cat! What happened to Mrs. Norris?" screamed Filch.

Filch suddenly looked at Harry and screamed, "It's you, it's you who killed my cat, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to..."

Just when Filch was angry and wanted to pounce on Harry and the others, Dumbledore arrived at the scene in time and stopped his crazy behavior. There were many teachers behind him. They untied Mrs. Norris from the torch holder. When they saw the words on the wall, their expressions seemed a little complicated.

Lockhart was the last teacher to arrive on the scene. At his suggestion, Dumbledore led Filch, Harry and others to Lockhart's office. Professor McGonagall and Snape also followed. Go up. Dumbledore glanced at Nydia thoughtfully before leaving.

"It seems the heir is back to clean up the mudbloods in the school!"

After Dumbledore and his party walked away, several Slytherin students began to talk loudly in the crowd. What they said attracted the attention of the crowd. Just when everyone expected to hear them continue talking, Sparrow Professor Te stopped their discussion and asked the students to disperse and go back to their college lounge.

"Do you know what's going on?" Nydia asked Draco. Dumbledore's look before leaving made Nydia feel a little flustered.

Draco looked around, then secretly pulled Nydia to an empty classroom and closed the door from the inside.

"Nidia, tell me honestly, do you really not know about the Chamber of Secrets?" Draco looked at Nidia seriously.

"The secret room? I've never heard of it, I swear!" Draco's serious expression made Nydia feel even more nervous. "You know what?"

"I just heard something from my father. Legend has it that the Chamber of Secrets was created by Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin House. He built the Chamber of Secrets because he opposed the school's admission of students from Muggle families. It is said that there are hidden secrets in it. A monster was created to eliminate those who are not worthy of learning magic, and only the heir of Slytherin has the ability to open the Chamber of Secrets."

"The heir of Slytherin?" Nydia was a little confused. Does this have anything to do with her?

"Slytherin's most famous skill is Parseltongue, so the symbol of our Slytherin House is a snake." Draco observed Nydia's expression carefully.

"Snake...are you suspecting that I am the heir?" Nidia felt incredible. "I stayed in the restaurant for the dinner all night, and I stayed with you after I came out. I didn't have time to open anything. A secret room. And I had never heard of a secret room before.”

"Don't get excited... I just want to tell you that if you need help with anything, please tell me and I can help you!" Draco's expression was very sincere, and he didn't seem to care what the so-called heir was going to do. What a terrible thing.

"You really think I am the heir!" Nidia felt very disappointed. "I'll say it again, I don't know any secret rooms, and I have never opened any secret rooms. Believe it or not." After saying this, Nidia became angry. rushed out of the door.
