Chapter 91 Who is Johnny Silverhand and the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets

The climax of the banquet began when Professor McGonagall announced the cancellation of this year's final exams.

It was almost half past three when Hagrid returned from the Ministry of Magic.

This made Harry very happy and he went over to give him a big hug.

"I don't know what's going on. The head of the Auror Office is quite nice to me."

When asked how things were going at the Ministry, Hagrid looked confused.

Although Lucius was committed to sending him to Azkaban, the Auror Office refused to relent and even gave him a large bed to lie down on.

It would be more accurate to say that he was on vacation at the Ministry of Magic rather than being in detention.

"Rufus Scrimgeour told me to say hello to Sir Johnny Silverhand, whom I don't even know."

Harry was curious when he heard this: "Johnny Silverhand? Who is that?"

Hagrid picked up a glass of beer and took a sip. The nostalgic taste made him smack his lips and said, "Owner of Johnny Silverhand's store in Knockturn Alley, my God, you have no idea how popular those things are in the Auror Office."

As a frequent visitor to Knockturn Alley, Hagrid collected materials for John and also went to Johnny Silverhand's store, where the items sold were a notch higher than those in Knockturn Alley.

That greedy Mundungus was also working there, dressed in a different way and looking like a decent guy, eager to empty everyone's pockets.

"I heard that Johnny Silverhand donated a batch of striker equipment to the Auror Office. I guess they misunderstood."

Hagrid thought that Rufus Scrimgeour had mistaken him for knowing Johnny Silverhand, but that was a good thing.

To do this he drank three large glasses of beer, which were cursed to keep them full, and he kept drinking.

Harry remembered the name Johnny Silverhand, he seemed to be a very important person.

Ron found his friend and told him about this. He was holding a chicken leg in each hand and his mouth was full of food.

"Johnny Silverhand, I know him. My father said that he handed in a lot of dark magic items to the Ministry of Magic, which made my father stand up straight in the Ministry of Magic."

Borgin and Burke's house was raided by John. He knew he needed to do something to reassure the Ministry of Magic, so he handed over half of the dark magic items.

This move successfully won the favor of the Ministry of Magic. Even Fudge said that if all the wizards in Knockturn Alley could be so self-aware, they would have two Diagon Alleys.

As for Johnny Silverhand, no one has seen him, but that doesn't stop the Ministry of Magic from having some good feelings towards this mysterious guy.

Seeing that they were interested in the Johnny Silverhand store, Hermione immediately played the role of an old mother and warned, "Harry, have you forgotten that you were almost kidnapped by an old witch at the beginning of the school year?"

"Please, Hermione, don't mention this."

The savior's dark history was brought up again, and Harry wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Even Ron laughed mercilessly at her, and then was targeted by Hermione, causing him to become autistic.

"Hagrid and Mrs. Weasley both said we can't go there. It's too dangerous."

"That Johnny Silverhand is in Knockturn Alley. He might be a dark wizard."

By repeatedly warning the two suicidal masters, Hermione demonstrated her family throne.

John sneezed twice in succession and touched his nose as if someone had said something about him.

...

In April, mandrake matures.

Professor Snape never imagined that he would have to make potions specifically for a cat.

During this time, Filch tried to please Professor Snape, and all his hopes for Mrs. Norris rested here.

After taking the antidote, Mrs. Norris returned to normal.

A few days before Easter, Professor McGonagall asked them to choose their third year courses.

John glanced at the course above.

Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Divination, Muggle Studies, Care of Magical Creatures.

There are five elective courses, from which John needs to choose the courses he wants to study.

Ancient magic words, also known as ancient runes, are essential to John.

Muggle Studies. As a Muggle in his previous life, John’s understanding of Muggle society can be said to be one version ahead.

John was somewhat interested in protecting magical creatures. There were many places related to alchemy that involved magical creatures.

Arithmancy and divination are both divination, but they involve different things.

Arithmancy, the study of the magical properties of numbers, is difficult to learn because it requires memorization or the use of extensive charts.

Divination is different. There are many methods and means, including tea leaves, fire omens, crystal balls, palmistry, card divination, astrology and dream interpretation.

Divination requires talent, and when Professor McGonagall talked about this subject, she couldn't help but say that it was the most imprecise subject.

To sum up, John felt that he was quite interested in all the classes.

He simply selected all of them.

As for the time conflict?

It doesn't matter, John just needs to get a perfect score in the test.

He can just go to Muggle Studies once or twice occasionally. Even if he doesn't attend classes, he knows more about Muggles than the wizards who are in the magical world.

Easter is coming.

John has been concentrating on earning points during this period, and he is adding points to Slytherin at a speed that is dozens of blocks ahead of others.

Especially in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, John's score improvement speed was outrageous.

Lockhart was just one point away from getting him one for every word he said.

As the saying goes, if you have a cheating referee, I have off-field support.

As John frantically chased points, Slytherin's points funnel caught up with Gryffindor at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gryffindor, who was originally full of confidence, felt like they were being pricked by thorns, so they did not dare to relax and started the internal competition mode to gain points.

Needless to say, Ravenclaw, although it has always been the third, but they are known for their intelligence and are an introverted house.

When the Hufflepuffs saw that everyone was doing this, they thought it would be impolite to lie down again, so they worked hard.

This phenomenon amazed the professors. They never thought that after canceling the final exams, everyone would work harder.

This made Dumbledore consider whether to cancel future final exams.

It can be said that John alone successfully brought about the atmosphere of involution in the school. He always answered questions before Hermione in class, which made Hermione more resentful towards John.

Daphne's secret was discovered by John, and she didn't dare to appear in front of John for a while.

She thought John would respond to her, but she didn't expect John to be obsessed with earning points, which made her happy and angry.

...

Inside the Slytherin Chamber.

Knowing that there was a way into the Forbidden Forest, John didn't need to bother Harry.

He entered the room inside the statue. Except for a trace left by years of sliding, the contents inside were not too dusty.

"I guess magic was used."

The room is divided into three floors. The first floor is a place similar to a studio, where all kinds of scary magical creatures are soaked in liquid.

Some were beaten to pieces, probably because the basilisk was hungry.

The second floor is the office. There are golden candlesticks on the table, some spells on the silverware with a skull head, and a long box. The things inside are gone. They were either taken away by Riddle or taken away during the Slytherin era.

The third floor is similar to the restricted books area. John walked in and took out a book, which contained all the records of black magic.

There are also some books about taboos or the human body, which are not suitable for young wizards to study.

"I'm afraid Salazar Slytherin contributed more than half of the banned books in the library."

John flipped through a few of the books and found the contents creepy.

One of the books had an unknown leather cover, and some of the contents in it interested John so much that he stopped flipping through it.

"Blood curse."

There was a strange look in John's eyes and he closed the book.

The inheritance test was not triggered in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. It makes sense, as the heir of Slytherin is Voldemort.

With Voldemort's temper, he won't leave you any good things.

I guess these books were not taken away because they were inconvenient to carry.

This is a good deal for John.

For the rest of the term, John frequently visited Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

His knowledge was accumulating rapidly, which slowed him down in catching up in class.

Many students who were almost suffocated breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid of this test king.

But even so, John did not stop adding points.

After May arrives.

Gryffindor was horrified to find that Slytherin had caught up in points.

Slytherin burst into cheers, and even Malfoy, who knew that Lucius had been stripped of his position as director, put on a smile again.

Everyone knows who Slytherin is because of.

John frowned as he was surrounded by people. “We haven’t reached the moment of victory yet. We can’t let down our guard.”

His words calmed the Slytherin down.

Yes.

Who knows if Gryffindor will get extra points for no apparent reason before the end of the semester, which would serve as a wake-up call to Slytherin.

Sweeping away the cheers just now, Slytherin burned with unprecedented fighting spirit.

They are like a rope made up of thousands of threads, incredibly united.

...

Chapter 92: Sad Hagrid and the Invisible Beast's Request for Help

"Hagrid, stop crying. Dead spiders can't come back to life."

In Hagrid's hut, the burly Hagrid was crying loudly.

After he came back, he was busy tending to the overgrown vegetable garden. When he had time to go to the Forbidden Forest to look for his old friend, the ground was already covered with burnt spider corpses.

Aragog managed to survive, but was weakened by the thick smoke.

The three little ones were here to comfort Hagrid. Hagrid blew his nose and said, "I don't know who did it. It's so cruel."

"Uh……"

The three kids looked at each other, and Harry said unnaturally: "Maybe it was just an accident. I mean, the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous, isn't it?"

Hagrid thought it made sense, but he was also surprised and said, "But I remember that except for centaurs and werewolves, others don't use fire."

Aragog had cataracts, and John didn't get in, so he didn't know that John did it.

This made the three little ones feel even more guilty, and they began to look away and divert their attention.

Hagrid finally recovered.

In this time when the King of Scrolls is prevalent, Hagrid's hut is the only safe haven for the three little ones.

Coming here makes them feel like they have walked out of an endless sea of ​​books.

Suddenly, a dog barking was heard from outside.

Yaya heard the sound and dug its legs on the ground a few times before standing up.

"It's Tom. He comes to play with Fang."

As the dog who controls Yaya's dog food, Tom has always been the boss in front of Yaya.

The door was opened, and besides Tom, John was there too.
