Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 58, The Glory of Slytherin



It seems to be back to square one, like one of the many symbolic meanings of the Ouroboros, a cycle.

With doubts, Mesa and Lilia walked into the common room. Green lights shone down, illuminating the room with greenery.

"Are we back to the common room?" Lilia whispered, but she quickly denied her view, "No, we didn't go back, this is not our common room."

The common room in front of me looked no different from the Slytherin common room.

In a long, narrow room, a round lamp with green light was hung from the ceiling by a chain.Carved armchairs, ornaments made of skulls, beautifully carved fireplaces, rough walls made of stone.

The decoration is almost identical, but there is no medieval tapestry or conspicuous notice board.This is another common room.

Hogwarts has many secrets, such as moving stairs, hidden passages, rooms hidden behind a certain portrait... Slytherin's common room is connected to another room, and there seems to be nothing to make a fuss about.

Moreover, the Black Lake is vast and it is impossible to hide an Atlantis at the bottom of the lake, but it is still easy to hide an additional Slytherin dungeon.

Strolling through the extra common room, Mesa and Lilia began to play a little game of finding fault with each other.

The two tried to find out the secrets buried in the lounge by looking for the differences between the two lounges.

But the armchair was still an armchair, the fireplace was still a fireplace, and even the bare wall was no different because it had not hung a tapestry.

It's as if this place was built just to provide a secret place for Slytherin students to study, live, or plan plans to clean the school.

After wandering around the lounge for a few times, the two found nothing and gathered in front of the fireplace.

Mesa lit the fire in the fireplace. The orange-red flame was bright, but it didn't emit much warmth.

"That drunken professor, Steele Martin, is here just for him, right?" Lilia asked, "But what does he want to find when he comes here?"

"It's not clear yet, but now that we have found this place, we should not be far from the truth." Mesa shook his head and said, "Let's go to the direction of the boys' dormitory and have a look later."

Lilia turned her head and asked maliciously: "Why don't you go to the girls' dormitory? Don't you want to see what the girls' dormitory looks like?"

"I don't want to," Mesa said decisively, "I'm afraid of breaking my beautiful fantasy about the girls' dormitory."

What if, Mesa means what if...what if the girls' dormitory also smells of smelly feet, mixed with other smells?That's so disappointing.

What's more, if it's like outside, boys can't enter the girls' dormitory, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

If you don't go, you won't go there at all costs, just take a look at the boys' dormitory.

The two sat in front of the fireplace and chatted without a word, using this relaxation to adjust their state in order to cope with the next exploration.

After a while, the two got up and walked in the direction of the boys' dormitory.

Under normal circumstances, if you walk up the spiral staircase beside the wall and open the door to the bedroom, you should see a long corridor with doors on both sides. This is correct.

But when the Mesa duo opened the door, they were completely pitch black again, just like when they came.

Lighting their wands and turning on their lanterns, the two of them plunged into the darkness.

Although there was still a grease-like substance under their feet, Mesa and Lilia did not walk for a long time this time and reached the end in just a short while.

The end of the road does not look like a boys' dormitory, but a rectangular room with rows of bookshelves, like a small library.

Mesa had a rare sense of belonging to Slytherin House, and this secret library was Slytherin's priceless treasure.

The wooden bookshelves are not filled with thick books, but thin volumes or parchment rolls tied with ribbons.

Mesa randomly pulled out a small booklet from the bookshelf at hand, and the smile instantly disappeared from his face because this thin booklet was written in Old English.

Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon, is very different from modern English in pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary and grammar.Mesa knew all the letters, but he didn't recognize them together.

Mesa leaned over and looked at the reading material in Lilia's hand.

It was a parchment manuscript of unknown age, and the ghost-like writing seemed to be ancient runes.

Whether it is Old English or ancient runes, it is a big problem for Mesa today.The loss of entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed is really unbearable.

Mesa and Lilia couldn’t stand it anyway.

Without verbal communication or eye contact, the two people, who had a tacit understanding, immediately took action and began to check the bookshelves one by one.

The emperor has paid off. Although most of the materials in the museum are written in ancient runes, old English, and Latin, there are also collections in modern English, but the number is relatively small.

These manuscripts, written in modern English, cover almost every area of ​​magic.

There are those who explain the theory of magic, the rules of transfiguration, those who talk about alchemy, and the methods of making potions...

There are as many types of research materials on the manuscript as there are in school libraries.It's just that the school library contains more works, but here are the research results of Slytherins.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took the shade.

From the language, paper, and handwriting used, it can be seen that this place was not built in one day, but was left bit by bit by the Slytherins who discovered this place.It took nearly a thousand years to finally reach its current scale.

It can be said that these yellowed manuscripts are the crystallization of the wisdom of the Slytherins, and this is where the glory of Slytherin lies.

Looking through the ancient magic deduction in his hand, Mesa could not suppress his excitement.

These research manuscripts provided him with more and clearer directions, while also saving him a lot of personal time, allowing him to grow faster.

If the school library is an open class by famous teachers, then this is a private teaching assistant, the shoulders of giants on which to stand.

Although the joy in his heart was overwhelming, Mesa did not forget the purpose of his trip and continued to explore this hidden place.

After a lot of effort, Mesa dragged Lilia, who was unwilling to leave, out of the Slytherin library and returned to the extra common room.

They still had the girls' dormitory to look at, so they couldn't waste any more time.

If you want to learn more, you can wait until the Steele Martin matter is resolved.

With the surprise of the boys' dormitory in mind, the two of them were full of yearning for the girls' dormitory, wondering what kind of surprises would be waiting for them there!

Walking up the spiral staircase, holding the door handle, the two excitedly opened the door to the women's dormitory.

When they passed through the extremely dark corridor again and came to the room at the end, Mesa and Lilia were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them.What awaited the two of them was not a surprise, it was almost a shock!
