The first White Lord of Hogwarts - Chapter 74
“Harry?”
“To be precise, it is Parseltongue.”
Ivan said:”Headmaster, do you know Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets?”
“Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets…”
Ivan’s words evoked Dumbledore’s memories:”Do you know where the Chamber of Secrets is?”
“Yes.”
Ivan didn’t need to explain, he attributed everything to his identity as a prophet:”But to open the secret room, you need to use Parseltongue.”
“Tom…”
Hearing this, Dumbledore was well aware of it.
The person who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago was Voldemort.
As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore had naturally heard of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.
The Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin contained a monster that would purify the dirty blood that had tainted Hogwarts, that is, all the little wizards with impure blood.
“Take me there.”
Dumbledore said softly,”Although Parseltongue is a rare talent, it can also be learned.”
“Fortunately, I know a little bit of Parseltongue.”
The old headmaster knows more than just a little bit, he is a man who masters countless inhuman languages.
“Professor, you are really knowledgeable.”
Ivan said:”But before we go there, I think we still need to make some preparations.”
“I mean, do you know the Basilisk?”
“The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk?!”
Dumbledore was a little surprised. After all, Myrtle died directly fifty years ago, and was not petrified.
And there are countless magics that can kill Myrtle.
Even Dumbledore would not associate Myrtle’s death with a basilisk.
“The basilisk is a very dangerous magical creature. Legend has it that it comes from a magic egg laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius is in the sky, and then hatched by a toad.”
Ivan:”The eyes of the basilisk have a terrible magic power of death. Anyone who looks directly into the eyes of the basilisk will lose his life immediately.”
“Except the Phoenix, because the Phoenix will not die
“Fawkes!”
Dumbledore obviously understood what Ivan meant, and he added Fawkes.
Fawkes was so happy to be called. He flew down from the guardrail and landed on Ivan’s shoulder, happily preening his feathers.
“Fox likes you very much, Ivan”
“I have always been fond of small animals.”
“No.”
Dumbledore smiled meaningfully and said,”I have never seen Fawkes be so friendly with anyone except me.”
“Um…”
Ivan wanted to ask, what are you hinting at, old man?
“Oh, yes, there is also this.”
Dumbledore took out a pair of glasses from somewhere and handed them to Ivan.
“This is?”
“A pair of enchanted glasses can effectively block the sight of the basilisk.”
Dumbledore said that as long as you look into the eyes of the basilisk for no more than 3 seconds, you will not be harmed by magic. The danger of the basilisk lies in its eyes, so as long as the problem of the eyes is solved, it will be just a larger magical creature.
“You even have this kind of thing!”
Ivan believed Dumbledore. With the old headmaster’s experience, he must have encountered something similar to the basilisk.
It was normal to be prepared for this.
“What about you?”
“This kind of magic prop is very rare, and I only have this one.”
Dumbledore only had one pair of glasses, but he gave them to Ivan.
This was his protection for Ivan, and also his confidence in his own strength.
A mere basilisk, I, the White Lord of Hogwarts, don’t take it seriously at all!
“Thank you.”
Ivan didn’t act pretentiously and put on the glasses directly.
The glasses seemed to have the function of correcting vision.
Although Ivan was not nearsighted, he could see things much more clearly after wearing the glasses.
The two walked in the silent corridor. The teachers and students in the school did not dare to go out casually because of the riot caused by Voldemort.
Of course, Ivan didn’t know whether the Weasley brothers would really abide by the rules.
Soon, Ivan and Dumbledore came to the bathroom where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was located.
Faintly, Ivan could hear Myrtle crying.
“Professor, how about we assign opponents?
“I will deal with Voldemort, and you help me deal with the basilisk.”
Ivan didn’t want to miss such a good training target for a powerful dark wizard.
And with Dumbledore behind him, Ivan didn’t have to worry. The strength of the old headmaster was a full sense of security.
“Yes, but you have to be careful”
“Don’t worry.”
Ivan smiled and said,”If I really can’t beat him, I will definitely call for help immediately.”
“.…..”
Dumbledore shook his head. The old headmaster really didn’t understand why Ivan was so shameless.
He cast a Disillusionment Charm, and then, under Ivan’s instructions, he said to the faucet with the snake carved on it in Parseltongue:”Open it!””
“Buzz~~”
The faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly.
Then, the pool also began to move.
The two watched as the pool slowly disappeared from their sight, revealing a very thick water pipe that was big enough for a person to crawl into.
“”Good design.”
Dumbledore’s praise came from the deserted place.
The two of them did not delay and cast the levitation spell, entering the pipe one after the other.
The pipe twisted and turned, with a steep slope all the way down.
It was a dark stone tunnel, large enough for people to stand inside.
Ivan cast the variant of the illumination spell, Firefly Glimmer, which attached self-luminous fireflies to the surrounding objects, dispelling the darkness here.
“”Pah, pah.”
Ivan looked down and saw the bones of mice and other small animals piled up like a mountain.
Looking forward, a huge snake skin was coiled on the ground of the tunnel. The snake skin was bright green and looked like a poisonous snake.���Leather
“This basilisk is at least 20 meters long.
Ivan made a simple estimate and said,”If it is really Slytherin’s pet, it is a snake king that has lived for thousands of years.”
A thousand-year-old basilisk, even Dumbledore had never heard of it.
“These pipes…”
Dumbledore noticed the extensive pipes.
The old headmaster couldn’t imagine that there was a thousand-year-old basilisk living underground at Hogwarts.
And from the looks of it, it could freely move in and out of the entire castle through the pipe system of Hogwarts.
Thinking of this, even Dumbledore felt his scalp tingling.
“Slytherin, do you really want to kill Muggle-born wizards?”
Ivan subconsciously raised this question:”If so, then this should be the earliest pure-blood theory so far, right?”
“Ivan, when we discuss this problem, we must first figure out why the problem occurred.”
Dumbledore and Ivan were surrounded by a soundproof barrier, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by Voldemort.
What’s more, two great wizards blocked the door of a remnant soul.
What else do you need a plan?
Just go up and do it!
“what do you mean?”
“The wizarding world a thousand years ago was very different from ours now.
Dumbledore said:”At that time, the persecution of wizards by Muggles was extremely severe.”
“Slytherin may be worried that those Muggle-born wizards will in turn help Muggles to deal with wizards.”
Not recruiting half-blood and Muggle-born wizards, only pure-blood, can avoid internal friction among wizards and prevent them from being used by Muggles. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
This one-size-fits-all approach is indeed in line with Slytherin’s style.
Ivan can even imagine the scene of that year.
Gryffindor: You are too extreme, Salazar.
Slytherin: Godric, you will regret it.
Gryffindor: I am the headmaster of Hogwarts!
Of course, as far as Ivan knows, the first headmaster of Hogwarts was Rowena, who proposed the establishment of the magic school. Venclaw, not Gryffindor (this is the setting of this book, don’t take it too seriously).
Suddenly I feel that the Big Four must have been quite happy back then.
I guess Gryffindor and Slytherin played the game of regretting each other a lot.
In addition, Ivan also leaned towards Dumbledore’s judgment.
After all, if Slytherin really killed his students, how could Gryffindor become close friends with him?
Soon, the two came to the end of the tunnel.
There stood a solid wall with two snakes entwined with each other carved on it, with big, sparkling emeralds in their eyes.
“It seems we have arrived, Headmaster.”
Ivan stood in front of the wall, and a hissing whisper like a snake sounded from the empty space.
With Dumbledore’s Parseltongue, two snakes separated, the stone wall cracked in the middle, and then slowly slid to both sides.
This was a huge basement, with many stone pillars carved with coiled and entangled snakes, towering to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness above, casting long and strange shadows on the entire room filled with mysterious green mist.
Looking up, Ivan saw a huge statue.
It was an old, monkey-like face, with a sparse long beard that almost dragged to the hem of the wizard’s robe carved from stone, and two gray big feet standing on the smooth floor of the room………
“Slytherin…”
Ivan subconsciously said the owner of the statue[]
“Ivan Ambrosius~~”
Looking down, he saw a figure standing under the statue. He slowly turned around and stared at Ivan with his blood-red eyes:”Should I say you are courageous or too conceited?”
“Tom?”
“Don’t call me that!”
Voldemort was in a very bad state. He was pale, his skin was covered with red vein-like lines, and cracks on his body could be seen faintly.
“Why?”
Ivan showed no fear of Voldemort at all. Instead, he strode forward and said,”I call you Tom, that’s your name, just like Ivan and Albus, or do you want me to call you Riddle?”
With Dumbledore’s support behind him, he was so tough!
If the atmosphere hadn’t been wrong, Ivan really wanted to say to Voldemort: Stop it, Tom, there are Dumbledoes everywhere outside.
“Enough!!”
The surname Riddle is undoubtedly a taboo for Voldemort.
“How did you know this place?”
Voldemort didn’t expect Ivan to find this place.
He didn’t know how Ivan found the location of the Chamber of Secrets and how he opened the door.
“Parseltongue?”
Voldemort looked at Ivan suspiciously:”You are also a Parseltongue?”
“Who knows?”
Ivan did not answer directly, but walked to a place less than 20 meters away from Voldemort.
This attitude of being sure of himself almost pissed Voldemort off to death.
“Compared to these, I think we should continue the unfinished duel, right?”
Ivan drew out his wand, seemingly casually, but in fact his magic eye and spiritual vision were activated at the same time, ready to guard against the possible attack of the basilisk at any time.
But Ivan was not afraid of Voldemort.
In the previous battle, Ivan had already figured out Voldemort’s background.
If Voldemort hadn’t Apparated quickly, Ivan would definitely activate the Obscurus mode and kill him directly.
Of course, it’s not too late now.
“Do you think you’re going to win?”
Voldemort was completely enraged, and he raised his hand and fired an Avada to eat the big melon.
A green light bloomed in the basement.
“
Ivan used his magic to disarm Voldemort and reconnect with him.
“”Zizizizi.”
Then the confrontation began. Unsurprisingly, Ivan had the upper hand this time.
The colliding magic quickly moved towards Voldemort, and no matter how much the latter concentrated his magic, it was useless.
At this moment, a sneer flashed across Voldemort’s angry face.
“Bang!”
“”Splash~”
With the splash of water, a huge black shadow jumped out from under the water on one side. Its yellow eyes stared at Ivan, and its bloody mouth pounced down.
It was a basilisk. It did not appear like in the original book, but hid in the water early.
In the dark, Dumbledore’s eyes were slightly focused. The protective spell was ready 1.7 and could be activated at any time.
“Get out of here!”
Before Dumbledore could make a move, a raging black mist rushed out of Ivan’s body like a storm, and then blew away the 20-meter-long body of the basilisk that was rushing towards him.
“What?!”
Voldemort’s eyes widened, his gaze full of disbelief.
What is this?
What is this black mist coming out of the little devil in front of him?
“”Obscure, Obscurus?”
A word popped up in Voldemort’s mind, and he exclaimed,”You are an Obscurus!!”
In an instant, Voldemort understood everything.
Why did Ivan have such unreasonable magical power, why was his spell so strong?
This kid is an Obscurus, and he can control the host of the Obscurus!
“Unbelievable”
“There really is such a thing as you!”
Voldemort broke the magic link with Ivan, and he completely understood the current situation.
And facing an Obscurial who could maintain a rampage state at any time, Voldemort really wanted to slap his previous self to death.
“11 years old, or 12 years old?”
“You are still alive, an Obscurial who has lived past the age of 10!”
When Voldemort first entered school, it was the most glorious era of Grindelwald.
But Credence’s affairs were too secretive, belonging to the dark history of the American wizarding world, so apart from those involved, other people, especially foreign wizards, knew very little about it.
Voldemort had read books about the Obscurial and the Obscurial, and knew the terrible power of this force.
Destroying with overwhelming force, unmatched!
Voldemort thoroughly experienced the description of the Obscurial in the book, which was really incredibly powerful.
