The Chamber of Secrets became an instant sensation at Hogwarts, and the students finally realized why Director Lorne had said "at least two per week" followed by "a maximum of three."
In reality, what Hogwarts teaches at the moment is quite different from what is actually used. For example, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration is not used during her time at the Ministry of Magic. As for the attack or reconnaissance spells taught in Defence Against Dark Magic Class and Charms Class, they are even less useful after graduation.
However, the Chamber of Secrets provided them with a realistic possibility for practical combat.
The truth that Lorne mentioned at the dinner party—that they would automatically understand during the event—has already been felt by many people.
"The four of us took turns playing the roles of the four Founders in the Chamber of Secrets, and then we reenacted the incident when Slytherin stormed out of school. But there was more to it than met the eye," Ron told Harry enthusiastically. "However, we ended up wrongly accusing the good guys and didn't complete the mission."
Hermione has already completed two Chamber of Secrets, and her resentment about missing classes has lessened considerably.
"We explored the truth behind the Goblin rebellion. Luckily, I was familiar with this part of the History of Magic. We also solved the botanical puzzle left by Professor Sprout, as well as many logic problems. The Ravenclaw seniors are really smart; together we solved that puzzle."
"The second time we entered the Middle Ages, and thanks to Ravenclaw's erudition, Hufflepuff's justice, and Slytherin's prudence, we were able to be the first group to clear that Chamber of Chamber of Secrets."
Meanwhile, the Fun Chamber of Secrets converted from the original classroom is also smoothly receiving students.
Professor Sprout led a "telephone game" in the classroom, where Sprout would whisper a pre-prepared sentence to the first student, and then the students would take turns modifying it word by word. In the end, the meaning of the sentence would be completely different from the original, or even the opposite.
Professor Binns hosted the "Seeking Truth in the Scene" program, which he was very happy to host. This was also the first time he had seen that none of the students sitting in the audience were drowsy.
The Chamber of Secrets of Secrets activities at Hogwarts are progressing steadily.
Harry also noticed that more classmates were greeting him lately, and even some Slytherin students would nod slightly when they saw him.
Although the truth has not yet come out, many students have already realized that their judgment was incorrect.
In Chamber of Secrets, this incorrect way of judging often fuels the spread of rumors, thus obscuring the truth. The activities in the Chamber of Secrets made them deeply realize that appearances are not reality, coincidences are not causes, doubts are not crimes, and rumors are not true.
Those not investigated have the right to remain silent, those who witnessed the event have the right to state the objective facts, and no one is qualified to judge a suspect's crime before the suspect is thoroughly convicted.
Snape was enjoying his most leisurely time. He stayed in his classroom, recording points and even had time to organize his potion-making records.
Whenever a student came to him to report their grades, Snape would put on a stern face and stare at them expressionlessly.
Are you sure?
Students often swallow hard, even suspecting that they stole their points.
"I confirm... Professor."
Lorne, on the other hand, relentlessly searched for evidence that Voldemort was the heir to the Chamber of Secrets of Secrets and that the monster was the Basilisk. He not only wanted to prove Harry's innocence but also to exonerate Hagrid.
Finally, one day, while the Ravenclaw hawk was looking up information, a hidden door suddenly appeared behind the bookshelf.
"Could this be... Truth Chamber of Secrets?"
The school was thrown into turmoil. While other Chamber of Secrets had a limit on the number of times they could be entered, the Truth Chamber of Secrets had no limit on the number of times it could be entered. Unless the real truth was found, the Chamber of Secrets would not disappear.
On his way back to his dormitory, Harry ran into Filch, who was grabbing Fred and George's clothes, apparently because they were deliberately wandering around the corridor in muddy shoes.
He remembered Mrs. Norris, who had been petrified.
There's also Hagrid, who released the Acromantula from his diary.
Harry cleared two Chamber of Secrets. The second Chamber of Secrets focused on testing knowledge and cooperation, but it still conveyed to him the truth.
He has realized his mistake; the diary may have fabricated memories, and pointing out that Hagrid's release of the monster was only young Tom's side of the story, and that he had known Hagrid for so long, it was too hasty of him to doubt Hagrid based solely on this.
It wasn't just Hagrid; his first reaction after being suspected was to suspect Malfoy, an attitude akin to "passing the buck," which was highly problematic.
He asked Dumbledore, who told him that Hagrid had indeed been punished for those actions, and that Hagrid was still unable to use magic in public. Therefore, he was eager to find out the truth and bring justice to Hagrid.
This was probably the opportunity that Director Lorne had once told him about to make amends to Hagrid.
Lorne arrived at Filch's place, where Fred and George stood by the wall with half-smiles.
"Director," Filch grinned, "I told you these students would never learn to respect others. They're arrogant and think they can solve everything with magic."
On his way there, Lorne saw muddy footprints in the corridor and guessed what had happened.
"Did you leave those marks in the hallway on purpose?" Lorne walked up to the Weasley Twins.
"We didn't do it on purpose," Fred readily admitted his mistake.
George nodded. "If Mr. Filch hadn't forbidden us from using magic in the hallway, we could have dealt with those traces in just three minutes."
Lorne wanted to believe the students, but the smiles on their faces betrayed him.
Filch gritted his teeth. "They're lying! I saw them walking back and forth in the hallway several times, and they even danced when other students passed by!"
"Is this true?" Lorne looked at the twins.
"We were just too happy."
" Ravenclaw has discovered the Truth Chamber of Secrets; today is a day to celebrate."
Lorne stepped slightly to the side. "Whether you did it intentionally or not, it's a fact that you've caused trouble for Mr. Filch, so apologize first."
Fred and George reluctantly bowed and apologized; they didn't want to offend Director Lorne.
Filch stood there, stunned. His methods were always punishment; he had never asked students to apologize to him—he even thought it was somewhat childish. Even if a student apologized on their own initiative, he would assume it was a way for the student to avoid punishment.
"I will investigate and get back to you, Mr. Filch," Lorne nodded slightly. "I need to take them to my office now, please understand."
Filch waved his hand. "Go ahead."
As they walked down the corridor, Lorne casually cast a Scourgify spell to ensure there was no mud or water before leading the twins to the General Affairs Office.
Actually, there are House-elf cleaning the castle, and Filch plays a more maintenance and supervisory role—it can't be said that just because someone works hard to clean, you can litter and not protect the environment.
