"Explain, gentlemen!" Her eyes swept across the three faces one by one.

"Explain what?" Ron looked a little panicked.

"Professor Snape was right. None of you told the truth in the office." Hermione said in an unquestionable tone, "First of all, you, Ron. You happened to be in the bathroom on the third floor, and Filch's cat was attacked outside that door."

"You, you're not suspecting that I did it, are you?!"

"Don't be silly, Ron." Hermione waved her hand. "Professor Dumbledore said that it was a very profound black magic, and we couldn't cast it at all. What I want to ask is, did you really not notice anything unusual?"

"I just told Elwyn that I heard a hissing sound, but I'm not sure. Myrtle kept crying, and it was very loud."

"Maybe this is a clue." Hermione turned her head. "Harry, can you tell us what you heard at that time?"

"The voice said that it was hungry, and it wanted to kill people. Like a ghost, it went straight up through the stone wall of the castle." Harry explained in a low voice, "Then we saw Filch's cat petrified and hanging on the wall. It must be the owner of the voice."

"Who knows." Harry said hesitantly, "Do you think I should tell the professors about the voice I heard?"

"Don't say it!" Ron replied without hesitation. "Hearing a voice that others can't hear is not a good sign, even in the magic world."

Harry heard something in Ron's voice. He asked, "You believe me, don't you?"

"Of course I believe you," Ron said quickly. "But, you have to admit that it's weird."

"I know it's weird," Ron replied quickly. "The whole thing was bizarre. You heard a hissing sound in the bathroom, and then Filch's cat was attacked. What's with the writing on the wall? The secret room was opened. What does that mean? "

"Maybe we should think about it from another perspective. Who would be happy that the cat was attacked?" Ron said.

`It won't do. Everybody but Filch will feel happy about it. Harry thought for a moment. "And what does this have to do with the secret room?"

"I mean, I'm extremely happy, or should I say, who hates that cat the most?" Ron added unwillingly.

"Stop guessing. I know something about the legend of the secret room." Elwyn saw that Hermione didn't participate in the discussion between Harry and Ron. Instead, she kept looking at him. He had to reveal something.

Hearing his words, Harry and Ron turned their heads and looked at Elwyn in surprise.

"I think you've all read the book" The History of the Hogwarts ", right?"

"No." Harry and Ron shook their heads.

"Elwyn, you mean …" Hermione seemed to remember something.

"Yes, the secret room left by Salazar Slater. [Love ↑ Go △ Little ↓ Say △ Net w



Elwyn continued, "As we all know, the Hogwarts was founded by Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Royna Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. They worked together at first, but as time went by, the rift between Slytherin and the others widened."

"Slytherin hoped that the Hogwarts would be more picky when recruiting students. He believed that magic education should only be limited to pure magic families. He was unwilling to accept the children of Muggle, believing that they were unreliable. After some time, Slytherin and Gryffindor had a fierce argument because of this. Then Slytherin left the school, but he left a secret room in the school. The other founders didn't know about it. "

"Secret room?!"

"Yes." Elwyn nodded. "That's all the reliable written records in the book. But there are rumors that Slytherin sealed the secret room so that no one could open it until his true heir came to the school. Only that heir could open the secret room and release the horrible thing inside, so that it could purify the school and get rid of all those unworthy of learning magic. "

The dark classroom suddenly became quiet. The atmosphere was so tense that it made people feel uneasy.

Harry, Ron and Hermione did not speak. They were all waiting for Elwyn to continue.

"That's the end of the story," Elwyn said softly after a long time.

"But, what did you mean by the horrible thing in the secret room?" Hermione asked hurriedly.

"I don't know." Elwyn shook his head. "It could be some kind of monster. Only the heir of Slytherin can control it."

"It fits Slytherin's style. I knew that Salazar Slytherin was a psychopathic old man." Ron continued, "But I didn't know that he was the one who came up with this bullshit about pure-bloods. Even if he gave me money, I would not go to his school. To tell you the truth, if the Sorting Hat had put me in Slytherin, I would have taken the train home without a second thought. I would have seen what kind of people were in that school. "

"Wait!" Hermione suddenly raised her voice. "Think about the words on the wall. The secret room was opened by the heir. And Harry happened to hear something. If Filch's cat was petrified by the horrible thing in the secret room, then... "

She could not go on. The other three knew what she meant.

"It can't be Harry. If you ask me, the heir must be Malfoy. His whole family is pure-blooded. Maybe he is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin."

"Don't think too much, Hermione. Harry was with us just now. He didn't have time," Elwyn said.

"I know. Of course, I believe Harry. But it's strange, isn't it? He can hear things we can't." Hermione turned her eyes back to Elwyn. "By the way, you haven't explained why you have been trying to break into Myrtle's bathroom recently."

Seeing the three of them looking very interested, Elwyn secretly cursed. He did not want to be seen as a peeping tom in the girls' bathroom, especially when the target was a crying Myrtle.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you the truth." Elwyn smiled bitterly. "In fact, in addition to the secret room, I have some other information."

"What is it?" the three asked in unison.

"You know, in order to prepare an article for the history section of the newspaper, I went to the library and read the Chronicles of the Hogwarts." Elwyn paused. "I found a newspaper clipping from fifty years ago in the book. It said that the secret room was opened!"

"What?! Who opened it? "

"I don't know. It's not written in it." Elwyn shook his head. "There was only one sentence related to the secret room, and it was handwritten. But the clipping said that a girl named Myrtle Warren died in an accident. Although I'm not sure if her death has anything to do with the secret room, the girl was..."

Elwyn took out a yellowed newspaper from his pocket. It was the introduction of the news at the time, and there was a girl's picture on it.

"This is Crying Myrtle!!!"
