Vol 3 Chapter 518: Curse and the Chamber of Secrets

Jon asked sincerely while observing Mrs. Melrose's expression.
　　
"The solution..." The old lady sighed, and then shook her head: "To be honest, it's very difficult, if you can't crack it; unless I continue to teach in this post, or die or leave the world... Otherwise, this curse will definitely be impossible to stop!"
　　
The expected answer, Jon could not help but fell into a short silence; after a while, he asked softly: "If it is... I mean if... If this curse releaser, that is, the mysterious person, completely escape from this world Disappear, then this curse will also disappear with it?"
　　
　　 "What are you kidding?" Professor Melos looked at the principal with a strange look, as if shocking him that even this common sense would make mistakes.
　　
She said in a slightly sharp voice: "You don't think that the so-called curse is the same as those described by the Muggles rumors... This is a curse that has been cast, a magic that has been cast, and it is not like a mysterious person. It may not matter anymore..."
　　
　　 Jon couldn't help but smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm still too young...I don't know much about the basics of magic, so you laughed."
　　
　　 This is not because Jon is self-conceited. The time he has actually been in contact with the magical world is still too short...Although he has been taught by many "famous teachers", the overall foundation is only average.
　　
　　 "I almost forgot that you are still a young man under the age of seventeen..." The old lady also reacted immediately and smiled kindly.
　　
　　……
　　
　　 "Of course, there is another problem!" Professor Melos paused and continued: "That's why mysterious people can use this organization..."
　　
　　 Jon did not speak, but listened quietly.
　　
"He chose me as the object of this curse. To be honest, he was very clever and very genius..." The old lady explained word by word: "On the one hand, he has been a student of me for many years and knows all aspects of me well. , This can greatly reduce the difficulty of casting the curse; on the other hand, not long after he cast the curse, I resigned from Hogwarts, and even had no contact with the wizarding world for many years..."
　　
"So—" Jon nodded slightly: "Professor Albus Dumbledore is a very great wizard, but he is completely helpless with Tom's curse, because he has no access to the curse. The subject does not have sufficient basis for judgment..."
　　
"Yes!" Professor Melos sighed softly, "If Albus is still alive and still at Hogwarts... With his knowledge, I am afraid it will only take a few days to discover the curse on me. ."
　　
　　 There is a bit of sadness and nostalgia in her voice.
　　
　　 "Then let's get back to business, Professor Melos!" Jon interrupted the other party's sadness a little untimely, "What exactly do you mean by the question you just said?"
　　
"The mysterious man cursed me. There is no problem in itself. His strength is probably far surpassing me." Professor Melos slowly said: "But the content of his curse is that I can never get from Hogwarts. I am a little puzzled by leaving my position as a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
　　
"... Hogwarts is a magical creature with a strong consciousness. Even a mysterious person might not be able to fool him with the obfuscation curse. At the same time, he should not be able to have this authority. Only the principal can do this. ..."
　　
　　 "Wait a minute..." Jon's face suddenly changed--
　　
　　After thinking about it for a moment, he said sternly: "If it's the principal... Tom can't reach any contact with any principal at Hogwarts...except..."
　　
　　 "Our first principal!"
　　
　　 "Mr. Salazar Slytherin?" Professor Melos asked in a puzzled way: "He is a person who has passed away for nearly a thousand years..."
　　
　　 "Very correct." Jon nodded, "But before Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts, he left something in the castle..."
　　
"You mean... the secret room..." Even if it is an old and powerful wizard like Galatia Melos, he couldn't help covering his mouth at this time: "I remembered... a long time ago... …Hogwarts...The Chamber of Secrets was opened..."
　　
　　 "Tom Riddle was a member of the school, right?" Jon smiled.
　　
　　 A somewhat untimely voice on the wall interrupted their conversation... Principal Armando Dupete poked his head quietly and whispered: "It sounds like you are discussing my dark history?"
　　
　　 But President Hart and Professor Melrose ignored him
　　
Jon continued: "There is no doubt that Tom Riddle, the mysterious man, is a descendant of Slytherin. At the beginning, in the secret room, he might have come into contact with a little bit of his ancestors... how to say, 'Legacy'..."
　　
"There is no doubt that Professor Dumbledore played a very important role at the time~EbookFREE.me~ Jon said, while squinting at the portrait of Principal Dippet: "The principal at the time didn’t notice it. Under the circumstances, he discovered the strangeness of Tom Riddle, so that during school, poor Tom could no longer open the secret room..."
　　
　　 "This is probably the reason why Tom always wanted to return to teach at Hogwarts..." Jon continued to analyze: "But fortunately, Professor Dumbledore chose to reject his application..."
　　
"...And he happened to be at Hogwarts when he was rejected by Dumbledore. He was already a very powerful dark wizard at the time, maybe slightly inferior to Dumbledore? I'm afraid he went to the secret room again, and then The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who is about to retire, that is, you, used this organization..."
　　
　　 "Very subtle analysis." Professor Melos couldn't help applauding: "But unfortunately, only Slytherin's descendants can enter the Slytherin secret room; I'm afraid we can't do anything about this curse..."
　　
"I don't think this is any regret." Jon smiled mysteriously: "Then the truth is revealed, Professor Melos...Before this curse completely disappears, I am afraid you will be at Hogwarts. I've been a professor of the Dark Demon Defense class, and I am now...otherwise, I'm afraid there will be victims again..."
　　
　　 The old lady seemed a little hesitant. After half a minute, she tentatively asked: "Then my salary has to be doubled? Honestly, the recent price increase has been drastic..."
　　
　　 "Deal!" Jon nodded without hesitation.
