Chapter 20
Chapter 19: Slytherin Dungeon
Dumbledore turned his head to speak to a teacher with greasy black hair, hooked nose, and sallow skin.
Moriarty knew that he was Severus Snape. Although he couldn’t hear what they were talking about, he had something to do with Slytherin House.
It was just dinner time, and Moriarty found out that Slytherin has been stronger than ever in recent years, and winning the Academy Cup for three consecutive years is really not just a talk.
There are few outstanding students like William and Leon that are almost comparable to adult wizards, and there are few other colleges, that is, Gryffindor has a Bill Weasley who can compare.
However, there are a few people in the third and fourth grades who should not be underestimated.
Moriarty looked at Gemma, who was talking to Lilith, Charlie Weasley next to Percy, and Tonks on the Hufflepuff long table, who interrupted Dumbledore’s speech. the girl.
Moriarty knew that Dumbledore had an Order of the Phoenix, and both Charlie and Tonks were members of the Order after graduation.
So Moriarty thinks that Leon first needs to find out what Bill is doing, and Dumbledore can’t give a Slytherin to do something that Bill hasn’t finished.
In fact, it wasn’t Leon that caught Moriarty’s attention, it was Bill.
I thought that Hogwarts in 1988 was calm, but now it seems to be undercurrents.
A plan gradually took shape, Moriarty appeared calm, and when he ate the last pudding, the food on the table disappeared.
Dumbledore stood up and said a few ideas and led everyone to sing the school song.
Facts have proved that not everyone can sing the school song as recklessly as Fred Weasley and George Weasley.
Only Dumbledore was the loudest, and suddenly he heard another loud voice. Dumbledore looked for the sound and looked at the Slytherin table. Moriarty was holding his chest up and singing the school song to an old tune. , which sounds inspiring.
When the first little wizard followed Moriarty and began to sing, he shuddered, but soon his eyes lit up, and his face was filled with a sacrosanct expression.
The students all sang along, and the pores all over their bodies stretched out, just like the warriors who were about to enter the battlefield, they threw themselves into the chorus.
After singing the school song, Dumbledore’s applause continued for a long time.
“Music, more charming than anything we’ve done here!” Dumbledore seemed to want to sing again impatiently, “Mr. Moriarty, what kind of melody do you sing?”
“The battle song created by wizards in the Middle Ages to deal with the goblin war, has no name, sir.” Seeing Dumbledore’s disappointed expression, Moriarty smiled faintly: “But I can write down the score and send it to you. .”
“That’s really good,” Dumbledore nodded. “It’s bedtime. Everyone, go back to the dormitory.”
There was a loud bang in the auditorium, and the students all stood up and began to return to the dormitory with their prefects.
Gryffindor’s first-year little lion made a noisy noise, while Slytherin’s first-year little snake kept quiet and graceful, ready to follow Leon to the Slytherin common room.
“Prefect William used to take us back,” Gemma said to Moriarty before leaving, “Prefect Leon volunteered to take on this responsibility this year. I think he was a little stunned. I want to perform.”
“Hmph,” Lilith snorted coldly from behind Moriarty: “For nearly half a century, the Minchum family has been suppressed by other pure bloods.
Because Minister Harold Minchum was a tough minister, he tried to curb the rise of the Dark Lord, but failed, so the Minchum family suffered revenge from the Dark Lord.
Now Leon has become their family’s only hope, but I’m not optimistic about him. What kind of achievements can a guy who only shows his prestige in front of girls expect him to do? Maybe he will challenge the giant to prove himself? Oh, don’t make fun of me. ”
Hearing Leon’s background, Moriarty felt that Leon was more in control.
They walked for a while, the floating ladder under their feet moved, and the little snakes quickly walked to the top of the other floating ladder.
Leon reminded: “Be careful with these magic stairs, they not only float in mid-air, but also move and rotate. If you can’t remember all the stairs accurately, you will be sent to a place no one knows about.”
Moriarty remembered his staff, and with the mentality of giving it a try, tapped the end of the staff on the floating ladders. After a loud “click”, all the floating ladders stopped moving.
Jericho tentatively jumped onto the floating ladder that had moved away before, and jumped back again.
“Cool Mr. Moriarty, how did you do it?”
“I think this is the reason why the floating ladder can’t resist the Slytherin staff.” Moriarty said thoughtfully, so it seems that the staff can also reveal other secrets in Hogwarts?
The little snakes surrounded Moriarty, all wanting to see the staff up close. The stairs of Hogwarts have been spinning and moving every day for centuries, and now Moriarty has stopped them!
Lilith said regretfully, “I should have brought the Gryffindor sword back – maybe I could have brought it back if I persisted.”
Leon felt that he was left out, his face changed and changed, and finally he said with a smile: “Mr. Moriarty did a good job, but unfortunately I am not a professor, otherwise I will definitely add 10 points to the college. Now we can have they gone?”
The fixed floating ladder saved a lot of time for the little snakes. After passing the last floating ladder, Moriarty did not forget to restore the movement of the floating ladder.
The little snakes soon came to a basement-like room with a thick stone wall at the end.
“There is a stone gate hidden in the stone wall, and behind the stone gate is our common room.”
A strange smile appeared on Leon’s face, “Of course this is the unified name between the four academies, and we prefer to call it the Slytherin dungeon internally.
It is located at the bottom of the lake, and we can often see octopuses in the lake through the windows, and if you are lucky, you may also see mermaids. ”
Leon took a few steps towards the stone wall and said without looking back, “Glory!”
The stone wall made a click, the stone door turned, and the whole picture of the common room appeared in front of the little snakes.
The walls are made of black marble, the turquoise ceiling and chandeliers emit sparkling waves, the ceiling is carved by the sleeping water world, and the floor is covered with a snow-white carpet.
The sofas and armchairs in the room are arranged around a large fireplace, as well as the exquisite mantelpiece, luxurious furniture, scattered murals and candlesticks, which attract the attention of the little snakes.
“Never forget your password, lose your password, give it away! Because no Slytherin would be friends with a fool who does any of these stupid things.”
Leon’s sternness pulled the freshmen’s thoughts back. He glanced at the freshmen and said without any emotion.
“Maybe you were excited because of the sorting ceremony, but Slytherin doesn’t need excitement. What he needs is calmness, focus, and ambition.”
The little snakes listened solemnly to Leon’s words, and even Lilith didn’t make a sound. She was a Slytherin after all.
Leon watched the reaction of the little snakes with satisfaction, but said mercilessly: “From the moment you entered Slytherin, you should abandon your childhood fantasies, you are no longer children.
A lot of people say that a Slytherin will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, and I don’t think that’s wrong and nothing to be ashamed of.
We are not a group of reckless lions. Only with a clear purpose can we find a shortcut to success. Only when we find a target can we kill with one blow like a poisonous snake.
There are too many famous wizards in history from Slytherin, like Merlin – I think you should have heard – if you haven’t heard it, remember it in your head!
Although students from other colleges rarely mention this, I can tell you with certainty that Merlin attended Slytherin House. ”
Jericho raised his hand: “I’m sorry Prefect Leon, but according to people’s research, Merlin’s active time was earlier than the time when the Big Four were born at Hogwarts. How could Merlin enter Hogwarts to go to school?”
“Very well, you’re Jericho Blanche from America, aren’t you? Learn to ask questions!” Leon looked like a venomous snake, “Why don’t you ask Moriarty Jr. about this? What about sir? Perhaps he who inherited Slytherin Castle has first-hand information.”
Moriarty saw a sinister smile flashing across Leon’s face. He didn’t care about him, but picked up his staff and waved it at the stone wall. A line of dark green ancient writing appeared on the wall. .
“What is this?” Lilith asked, “What words? And… what does it mean?”
“Ancient Rune, which means time.” Moriarty snapped his fingers, and with a “pat”, the dark green text changed to English.
Moriarty said to Jericho: “There is no doubt that Merlin was in Slytherin, but what you said about the incompatibility of time is equally indisputable.
The incompatibility in time once attracted the attention of the ancestors of Salazar. He investigated Merlin’s origin, but there was no following.
I found the last record about Merlin in his diary, which only had these two words, time. ”
“Does it mean that Merlin traveled through time?” Jericho looked like he had seen an American sci-fi blockbuster~www.readwn.com~ Moriarty patted him on the shoulder: “I don’t think so, but it does involve time. magic.”
“Time magic?” Lilith asked curiously.
Seeing Moriarty become the protagonist again, Leon felt that the authority he had established no longer existed, and interrupted the conversation of the little snakes: “Why don’t you go to bed?”
Within ten minutes, the little snakes found their dormitory, a room for four, which made Jericho not very satisfied, but when he found out that his roommate was Moriarty, he lost all sleep.
Not only Jericho, but also a few little snakes didn’t fall asleep, and everyone sat down on the sofa in the common room surrounded by Moriarty.
“In fact, I came to Hogwarts because of Mr. Moriarty,” Jericho stroked his hair and smiled a little embarrassedly: “Dad heard that the descendants of Slytherin will come to Hogwarts this year, Let me come here, against all odds.”
“Since that’s the case, I promise you won’t be disappointed.” Moriarty accepted Jericho’s friendship.
Lilith came over: “If Leon knew that you belonged to the Blanche family, he would definitely regret the yin-yang attitude he treated you just now.”
“Oh, that’s not much to say,” Jericho said, not proud at all. “The Blanche wizards are only a little more gifted at riding broomsticks than other wizards. I can’t wait to take flying lessons. already.”
Lilith’s eyes flashed: “Mr. Moriarty is also a flying genius, right?”
“I only tried flying on a broom once, and it was very exciting.” Moriarty admitted, but when it comes to flying, Salazar ancestors are experts, and the second spell he left behind is an improved version of the flying spell. .
After chatting for a while, they said good night to each other and went back to the dormitory to sleep.
