Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Because Tom Riddle was the one controlling it, Lockhart actually looked like he was talking to himself.

However, it was precisely because of this that Bourne learned some secrets about this place.

This was all discovered by Tom Riddle with great effort when he was in school. Now, a young wizard like him learned it effortlessly.

She really belongs to the white female vote.

Of course, given that Voldemort was a villain, a scumbag, and a heretic, Bourne did not tell such people about the serious illness of Wu De.

He felt at ease with his white female vote.

"...This place was originally the scriptorium of the Slytherin family castle. When the great Slytherin donated the castle to Hogwarts, it was also placed in the common room of Slytherin House.

It turned out that the great Slytherin not only cast a very powerful protective magic in this writing room, but also left behind many magic books that he had annotated that are now mistakenly called "black magic".

Slytherin hopes that with the help of these two, future students of his college will be able to face the so-called 'dark magic' and master those powerful magical knowledge relatively safely.

This is a precious gift left by the generous and great Slytherin for his own house!

However, unexpectedly, for a while, a group of brats appeared in Slytherin College who were keen to learn the ways of Muggle aristocrats.

At first, they just despised learning and using words, but later they even became unable to write words. As a result, the writing room became a useless place for those pigs.

Later, I don't know which one of those pigs came up with the idea, and actually applied to the principal at the time to replace the writing room with a living room with an oversized leather sofa and coffee table.

And the principal at the time actually agreed to this outrageous petition - as a side note, the principal was from Gryffindor, and he was the 'big brain' who once moved the principal's office to Filch's room on the first floor. .

As a result, Slytherin's writing room was moved here and became a secret room that no one cared about.

It wasn’t until Principal Windick Windirion discovered it and transformed it into the [Final Storage Room] that the writing room was given a new lease of life..."

Tom's voice was that of a young man.

Coming from the mouth of Lockhart, a middle-aged greasy man with a slender head, it naturally seemed very strange, especially in such a secret room with only weak candle light.

As a carrier, Lockhart didn't even realize that his mouth was speaking, and he was still having a conversation with himself.

"What happened next?

Since this [Final Storage Room] has been activated, why is it still closed here now?

I... I had never heard of its existence when I was at Hogwarts. "

Faced with Lockhart's second-stage questioning, Tom Riddle responded with rare patience.

"This is because another accident happened in this school during the era when the 'most unpopular' Headmaster Black was in charge of Hogwarts.

It seems to be related to a descendant of the Gaunt family and a young wizard named Sebastian.

In addition, the accident was even somewhat related to the 'Second Rebellion of Goblins'.

There are rumors that Lanlock, the leader of the goblin rebels at the time, died in Hogwarts because of that accident.

Without Lanlock's command, the remaining goblins acted in a hurry, which led to their rebellion quickly failing.

However, it was precisely because a goblin died here that this [Final Storage Room] was sealed again.

Finally, I hung the magical portrait of Principal Winn-Dixie Wenredian at the door to permanently guard this secret..."

After a long time of asking and answering, Lockhart's mood finally stabilized.

He was coaxed by Tom Riddle with the truth, and gradually forgot the terrible fact that he had just used the unforgivable spell.

He asked "concernedly": "Then what should we do next?"

Bourne, who was hiding on the stone steps in the distance, could clearly see that when he said this, Lockhart put the arm holding the wand behind his back.

This is a sneak attack - Gilderoy Lockhart's "old habit" has happened again - he has regarded Tom Riddle attached to his body as a "fellow wizard" standing in front of him.

Most of the stories that appeared in Lockhart's autobiographical novels and originally belonged to others came from this way.

"You have passed the trial.

After changing [Slytherin's Scriptorium] into the [Final Storage Room], Principal Winndic Venredian also changed some mechanisms.

He has strengthened the protection mechanism, you can look at the stone sculpture..."

When Tom Riddle answered this sentence, he also controlled Lockhart to turn his head, so the latter saw the fragments of the stone sculpture that had just been shattered by a shot of "Avada Kedavra". Like a magnet that was broken, it slowly came back together again.

Although the "new form" put together by those fragments is particularly weird, it is constantly adjusting itself, and it seems that it will not take long to return to its original shape.

"...Windic Venridian strengthened Slytherin's curse, even the effect of the Death Curse can be weakened to this point.

If two young wizards were to shoot each other with death spells, the worst result would probably be a nosebleed for the person who was hit.

And the reason why he was able to do this was not because he was a more powerful magician than Slytherin, one of the four founders, but simply because he borrowed the power of Hogwarts Castle.

As generations of young wizards study and live here, Hogwarts has its own source of magic.

It is precisely with the blessing of the magic source that the power of Principal Winn-Dixie's spell has been increased several times, and it has continued to be effective for hundreds of years.

Similarly, it is precisely because such a magic source is preserved that this secret room can be named the "Final Storage Room".

What you have to do next is to awaken the source of magic and let it emerge in front of you.

This is the reward of [Final Storage Room] for those who pass the trial.

Every member of Hogwarts who passes the trial can ask a question to the source of magic.

You can either wish to receive a powerful spell, or you can ask to be instilled in your brain some magical principle that has not yet been summarized, or...

A secret at Hogwarts. "

"What exactly should I do?" Lockhart's eyes lit up when he heard that there was something to be gained.

"Did you see the snake relief on the wall?" Tom Riddle led him over and then asked.

"Put your hand over."

"Well, that's easy...Ah! Ah!"

As soon as Lockhart stretched out his palm towards the snake-shaped relief, the venomous snake on the wall opened its mouth and bit the back of his hand.

Lockhart screamed in pain.

However, when he raised his hand in front of him, he found that there was not even a red dot where the relief snake head bit him.

"This……"

"This is a small test. The purpose is to alert those who pass the test to always be vigilant and not to take it lightly at any time."

Tom Riddle explains.

"If you don't believe it, look at the snake-shaped relief. It's motionless on the wall. The pain just now was just an illusion caused by the curse."

"But this hurts too much!" Lockhart waved his hand and couldn't help but said angrily: "Who designed this link? It must be Slytherin. It's really a bit anti-human and not like us Ravenclaws at all. The founder of the college was so kind.”

Be nice, you Avada Kedavra!

Hearing his ancestors being scolded, Tom Riddle was so angry that he almost fell out on the spot.

If it weren't for keeping Lockhart in the future, it would still be useful. When Lockhart insulted Slytherin just now, he had to give this guy a heart-breaking taste.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet..." Tom Riddle said this to Lockhart as well as to himself.

"...The source of magic power will appear soon. Wait a moment. We can talk about other issues after receiving the reward."

As if to confirm his words, before he finished speaking, the cake-like round platform in the center of the secret room slowly opened like petals.

A huge "node"-like thing made entirely of fairy iron and seemingly wrapped in layers rose up from the ground.

Obviously, these fairy irons are all attached with powerful magic. The dense magical power has shown the characteristics of material form. They are like flowing purple water streams inside and outside the fairy iron "nodes". The shuttle keeps going.

Tom Riddle said to Lockhart: "This is a source of magic in the castle. Now, go over and tell it your problems."

"Question, what am I asking?"

If everything goes as Tom Riddle imagined, the answer Lockhart "wants" to get is naturally how to get into Slytherin's secret room now. It would be better to ask which bastard moved the secret room and what's inside. What happened to the basilisk? Answers like that.

But at this critical moment, many times, the next development of things will inevitably lead to some surprises.
