“Who can argue with that?” George nodded in agreement. “A wizard with ambition should play pranks on other wizards! What kind of skill is it to bully Muggles!”

Fred added, "That's when Dad comes in! He'll send these guys to Azkaban, lock them up for a few days, and they'll be quiet for at least half a year."

George corrected, "That depends on who it is... Remember that Mundungus Fletcher? He's never one to stay put."

“He’s a repeat offender, Dad’s arrested him so many times!” Fred agreed. “Maybe he just likes Dementors and wants to come ‘home’ every now and then.”

……

Suddenly, a cold voice, barely audible, appeared.

"Hungry...so much...blood...flesh...hungry...hungry..."

Vizette looked up abruptly, her brows furrowed as she gazed into the distance.

Although the voice was extremely faint, its cold and malicious tone felt incredibly familiar to him.

Luna noticed the change in Vizette's expression and immediately asked, "Vizette, what's wrong?"

“I heard strange noises.” Vizet reached into his pocket and pulled out the Marauder’s Map.

He drew his wand and tapped it on the Marauder's Map, declaring, "I solemnly swear I will not do anything good!"

Based on the location where the sound had just been heard, Vizet searched the Marauder's Map but found nothing.

The direction from which the cold, malicious voice came clearly did not contain any names.

In addition, the corridor that everyone had to take to return to their dormitories was packed with people, appearing as a dark mass on the map.

Vizette reverted to her Marauder's Map disguise. "Prank over!"

He put the Marauder's Map back into his pocket, pressed his wand against his temple, and began to review his memories.

In his memory, he heard that cold, vicious voice again, "Something's not right... I'm sure I didn't mishear..."

"What did you hear?" Fred and George asked quickly, having also noticed Vizet's unusual behavior.

Luna asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, I just heard a strange sound." Vizet waved his hand. "I'll go find the professors."

At that moment, Colin ran towards Fred and the others, camera in hand, "I took a picture! And it was Headmaster Dumbledore himself who took it for me..."

Vizette sidestepped Colin and ran quickly toward the teachers' table.

The professors who were about to leave stopped in their tracks. Flitwick noticed Vizette's serious expression. "Vizette, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

“No one knows more about medicine than me! Let me see how you… Oh!” Lockhart took out his wand, seemingly wanting to pluck a flower, but unexpectedly dropped it to the ground.

Snape smirked, a natural... mockery appearing on his face.

"Healed completely!" Vizet breathed a sigh of relief and cast a healing spell on herself to aid her recovery.

He tried to keep his voice calm so he could speak clearly, "Professor Flitwick, I heard a strange sound in that direction."

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Snape.

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, concealing the smile that had appeared because of Coolick.

The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the Great Hall as Penelope, Percy, and the other prefects returned...

Chapter 152 Salazar Slytherin in the book

Percy's chest heaved as he called out in a broken voice, "Professor McGonagall... Professor McGonagall..."

Penelope caught her breath and continued Percy's words, "Something's happened! Right outside the Great Hall... in that corridor!"

Dumbledore stroked his beard. "Philius, go check out that place Vizette mentioned..."

"Alright!" Flitwick immediately jumped off the chair, took out his wand, tapped his feet, and ran out like a whirlwind.

Snape glanced at Vizet, pursed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately said nothing, and quickly followed Philius out of the Great Hall.

Dumbledore continued, "Vizette, you come with us and get back to the House ranks first."

He led a group of professors out of the auditorium and, guided by the prefects, into the crowded corridor.

The prefects called out a few times, and the students quickly parted to make way for Dumbledore and his companions.

Ravenclaw was positioned somewhat towards the back, where the walls in the distance appeared rather dim.

Wizette integrates into Ravenclaw's team, surrounded by players from the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

He continued to practice the Guardian Meditation Method, trying to capture that cold, malevolent voice.

"Thank goodness you're all alright," Qiu Zhang said from the side. "Where did you go just now?"

“I lingered in the auditorium for a while,” Vizet replied, glancing at the somewhat noisy crowd ahead. “What happened?”

Qiu Zhang said, "We were behind and didn't know the specifics, we just saw Felch run ahead."

“After a while, Filch shouted that Harry Potter had killed his Mrs. Norris, and then you came over.”

“There seem to be words on the wall…” Vizet narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up his wand and held it to his eyelids, then gently flicked the wand, saying, “Night watch!”

With the help of the night vision spell, he could see the words on the wall: "The secret chamber has been opened. Those who are enemies of the heir, beware."

Hearing what Vizette said, Cho Chang said with some doubt, "A locked room? Isn't that a story?"

“Slytherin believe this to be true,” Roger Davis interjected, “but the Chamber of Secrets is not mentioned in The History of Magic.”

Jason Samuels, who was standing nearby, added, "These things are not mentioned in that book, The Great Wizard of the Middle Ages."

Duncan Ingleby expressed a different opinion, "But since Slytherin believed it so much, there must be some basis for it."

Noticing Luna's curious gaze, Vizet said, "According to the description in 'The Guide to Medieval Wizarding,' the four founders of Hogwarts got along quite well at the beginning of the school's founding."

"The emergence of the 'witch hunt' made the situation of wizards increasingly dire, and Salazar Slytherin became increasingly distrustful of Muggles."

"As the witch hunt intensified, Salazar Slytherin's suspicions grew, and even wizards from Muggle families began to find him untrustworthy."

"In his later years, Salazar Slytherin felt that sending admission notices only to pure wizarding families would be more conducive to the stable development of Hogwarts."

"After all, wizards from Muggle families, whose parents or relatives are still Muggles, are easily swayed by the 'witch hunt' and thus betray other wizards."

"Therefore, Salazar Slytherin's differences with the other founders intensified until he had a quarrel with Godric Gryffindor and left Hogwarts."

Jeremy Stryton shrugged. "At least for the time being, Salazar Slytherin was right..."

“Compared to adult wizards, those children have no chance of resistance; they can really be burned to death…”

"It's not hard to imagine that if too many wizards from Muggle families are recruited, a few of them might become traitors."

“Then we’ll move on to the legends,” Qiu Zhang continued.

According to "Hogwarts: A History of the School", Salazar Slytherin secretly built a room before leaving, without the knowledge of the other founders.

"Legend has it that something exists in that Chamber of Secrets, and when Slytherin's heir returns, he will carry out Salazar Slytherin's idea and purge wizards from Muggle families."

The item in the Chamber of Secrets must be Salazar Slytherin's pet...

The reason Wizette sought out wizarding history books like "The Guide to Medieval Wizarding" and "Hogwarts: A History of the School" was actually to find Salazar Slytherin's pet.

The information he currently has is similar to what Cho Chang and others have said: the four founders had a disagreement, which ultimately ended with Salazar Slytherin leaving Hogwarts.

In the Mirror World, Salazar Slytherin mentioned that his pet was still alive and continuing to perform its former duties.

Hogwarts has been established for over a thousand years, and it's hard to imagine any pet surviving for so long and still carrying out the tasks left by its owner.

However, with the added identity of a guardian and the wonder of ancient magical power, everything seems to make sense again.

Vizette was still using ancient magical powers to care for a mandrake.

Since magical plants can absorb ancient magical power, Salazar Slytherin's pets must also be able to absorb ancient magical power.

It is precisely for this reason that Vizet is constantly accumulating power and striving to master more magic in order to deal with Salazar Slytherin's pet.

The saying goes, "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit," let alone the fact that Vizette is about to face a pet that has lived for a thousand years and has been nourished by ancient magical power.

Just as Vizette was pondering, Luna's ethereal voice rang in his ears, "Although I don't know what you'll face, I'll be with you no matter what you do."

Vizette turned her head and saw Luna's bright and earnest eyes. She smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry!"

Filch's voice rang out, filled with madness and sorrow, "They are all murderers! They killed Mrs. Lorris!"

Dumbledore held Mrs. Lorris in his arms. "Filch, please calm down. Things aren't as bad as they seem."

Vizette glanced at Mrs. Lorris and found that she was stiff all over and seemed to have stopped breathing.

Before he could even use his Magic Eye, Lockhart blocked it.

Lockhart sidled up to Dumbledore, pointing the way in a cheerful voice, "Yes, that's how you go up..."

Harry, his two friends, and his companions walked in the middle, their faces covered in sweat, looking nervous and apprehensive.

Filch walked behind Harry and his two companions, his face wet with what looked like tears or sweat.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout followed at the back, while the other professors left down the corridor, not continuing to follow Dumbledore and his group...

Chapter 153 The Standoff in the Office

Upon entering Lockhart's office, one finds numerous magical photos of Lockhart hanging on the walls, depicting him in various poses, including one taken before bedtime, where he sports a head full of curlers.

The poses in these magical photos are all unified, all converging on Harry.
