Hogwarts becomes host

Elaine still has time, at least her soul will not explode until she gets the inheritance.

After all, the lies Adair told during the negotiations were not only the list of Death Eaters. He also claimed that he knew the location of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. This allowed the Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood family to temporarily compromise.

That's Slytherin's heritage

Some of the earliest Death Eaters were students at the same time as Voldemort. They knew Voldemort's life experience and what he looked like in school, so they would naturally guess whether his strength came from the Slytherin family.

Even Crouch knew that Voldemort was of mixed-blood origin and that he had a Muggle father. If it were not for the name Slytherin, it would not be so easy for Voldemort to get most pure-blood families to support him.

Everyone has their own methods. If Adair finds out about the Gaunt family, others will naturally find out too. If the Shafik family can really come up with Slytherin's inheritance, the atonement bill just promoted by the Ministry of Magic can be truly implemented. Otherwise, Who would be willing to hand over their gold and rights?

If there is such a thing as inheritance, it can be considered as paying for power. It doesn't matter if you swear not to obey a dead man, but if there is no inheritance, the Shafiq family will have to pay the price for what happened before.

Thinking of this, Elaine really admired Adair. The list of Death Eaters was fake and he didn't get the Slytherin inheritance. He dared to use these non-existent chips to force the Ministry of Magic and pure-blood families to compromise, and even succeeded. .

As expected of an orthodox Shafiq, he is very good at creating illusions to deceive people.

After walking in the secret passage for about ten minutes, Elaine's path was blocked by a solid wall. Engraved on the wall were two snakes intertwined with each other. The snake's eyes were set with large, shining emeralds, which made people want to pull them out. Sold.

Riddle's illusion made a low and hoarse hissing sound in Parseltongue. The two entangled snakes split into two sides with the stone wall, slid into the side wall and disappeared. At the same time, Elaine also remembered what Riddle had just said. sound.

Voldemort or Slytherin himself probably didn't expect anyone to learn Parseltongue in this way.

There was nothing in the secret room, with Riddle's phantom walking in front and Elaine following behind with a diary in hand.

"Do you want to call the basilisk out?" Riddle suddenly asked, "I can teach you how to control him."

"Then let me look it in the eyes and kill me." Elaine snorted and threatened, "If anything happens to me, you will never leave this secret room in your life. Don't forget that you are just a book now and want to be silent forever. If you’re here, try it.”

"You misunderstood. I still want to meet Harry Potter, so how could I do anything to you." Riddle shrugged, "I really want to teach you. After all, you will use it in the future, so why not take advantage of it?" I’m studying now when I have free time.”

"No need." Elaine thought for a while, "The basilisk's damage is too strong. You forget that as soon as you killed Maduo, the then principal Armando Dippet wanted to close the school if he wanted to target Harry Potter. Special, it's best not to kill anyone before catching him, lest Dumbledore becomes wary."

"I remember you told me that Dumbledore had been paying attention to Potter and had to distract him, so he had to create several attacks to make the school panic, so as to take the opportunity to kidnap Potter." Riddle stopped and looked back. Asked Elaine. "But tell me now, you don't plan to use Basilisk because its damage is too strong."

"Yeah." Elaine frowned, "That's a problem. With my magic, it's very easy to seriously injure that idiot Lockhart─"

"Well, maybe." Riddle's black eyes stared at Elaine, as if he wanted to see something from her. Although Elaine was heartbroken, she did not avoid her gaze. "I remember you also had a mudblood friend."

"Yes, very strange"

"It's very strange. As a descendant of a noble wizard, you actually work with those stupid people who steal magic─"

"Shafiq's tradition is that regardless of identity, race, or anything, as long as it is useful, he will touch it." Elaine replied, "This is also the reason why I didn't destroy you. Hermione's notes are very important to me." Her study is very helpful─of course, if you are willing to guide me, then I may not need her anymore.”

After Riddle was stunned for a while, he laughed loudly. He laughed so hard that it made the dark chamber tremble slightly, as if ten Ruidou were laughing loudly at the same time.

"Very good." After laughing for a while, he nodded with satisfaction and said to Elaine, "Then, when you bring Harry Potter here, I also hope you can bring your little Mudblood It’s no problem if a friend brings it here.”

"No problem. As for Harry Potter's other friend, the purebred of the Weasley family, I will also bring him here." Elaine said calmly, "You can possess him and take his body, and you can stand up to Weasley." Len's surname can alleviate Dumbledore's suspicion - even if he does suspect it, you can use this identity to separate the Weasley family and Dumbledore."

"Very good, you are very thoughtful." Riddle continued to walk forward and walked to the statue of Slytherin. "Lord Voldemort will not treat those who help him badly. I will give you what you want. "

He spoke a few words to the statue in Parseltongue. Elaine couldn't understand the meaning, but this did not prevent her from remembering the tone.

Slytherin's huge stone face moved, and he looked towards the other corner of the room. There was a creaking sound, and the stone wall slowly disintegrated, revealing a terrifying door──it was made of A door made of a bunch of intertwined snakes.

The densely packed snake heads and constantly twisting snake bodies made Elaine very uncomfortable and almost caused trypophobia.

"Only the direct descendants of Slytherin can open this door. Any other students who touch this door will be bitten to death by the snake above." Riddle said proudly, "The inheritance is behind the door. Wait. After you bring me the purebred of the Weasley family, I will open the door for you."

"I'm curious, can people from Slytherin House not touch this door?" Elaine asked. "I thought that Slytherin would leave something behind for his students. The founders of the other three houses all left some help."

"Of course, but not in this room." Riddle replied in a good mood, "Only the direct bloodline of Slytherin can have Parseltongue. This is a gift to his descendants, not to students."

"So that's it." Elaine pondered for a while, "The core stronghold of the Shafiq family has very strong defensive magic. I guess it is also here. Even if you open the door, I can't enter that room, right?"

"Yes, only I, the noble descendant of Slytherin, can go in there." Riddle's phantom showed a malicious smile, "If you try to use me to open the door, the moment you enter, you will also be trapped inside. Erase the defensive magic. Do you understand? You can only rely on me to get what you want. If you really want Slytherin's inheritance, just trade the lives of your friends."
