Getaway Car/ House of the dragon out now!
"Could I have your attention, please? Right. Now, today, we will be transforming animals into water goblets. Like so." Minerva turned to a bird resting on a post to her right, tapping it with her wand as she speaks. "One, two, three, Vera Verto." a stream of magic emits from her wand, and the bird becomes a goblet. "Now it's your turn. Who would like to go first?" she walked the room.
"The ancients are rumored to have built a repository for the world's wisdom. According to myth, it burned down. I'm proposing something less centralized." Lilith remarked as she walked her classroom. "An Encyclopedia Galactica."
"A world in space, Professor?"
"Yes... After the fall of any civilization, as civilization climbs from the ashes, the coming generations will have something to build upon, a foundation." Lilith agreed. "They won't have to reinvent the wheel. The knowledge will already exist. But it isn't just knowledge we'd be saving, but humanity's story. Our story. The ministry already has an imperial library. For how long? Now, that statement does bring us to the heart of the matter. How to preserve from the evil of the world? The corrupt? The... wicked?" Lilith let them think on that for a moment longer.
"Wonderful. Whos next? Ah! Mr. Weasley. One, two, three, Vera Verto." McGonagall instructed.
"Ahem!" Ron agreed clearing his throat and silently taps his wand towards Scabbers three times. "Vera Verto." his wand causes Scabbers to turn into a furry goblet with his tail moving around while squeaking; Harry and some of the other students grin and laugh as Ron picked up the Scabbers-goblet.
"I wouldn't drink out of that." Draco remarked honestly.
"That wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley. " Minerva remarked. Hermione rose her hand. "Yes, Ms. Granger?"
"Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets."
"The chamber of secrets." Lilith repeated looking her at own students. They nodded eagerly. "I suppose you are the best and brightest and would want to know such things." Lilith agreed. "Very well" She agreed. "Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders coexisted quite harmoniously. One did not."
"Now I know what you are thinking." Lilith went on. "A few bad slytherins didnt make a bad house. All houses had a few rotten apples. I am a proud slytherin and I'm alright, right?" They nodded in agreement.
"Unfortunately our fonder, Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all-magic families. In other words, pure-bloods." Lilith went on. "Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now, according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Well, shortly before departing, he sealed it, until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The Heir alone would be able to open the Chamber, and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic."
"Muggle-borns." Hermione agreed. Professor McGonagall pointed her wand at her in an affirmative gesture.
"Well, naturally the school has been searched many times. No such Chamber has been found. " minerva assured.
"Professor, what exactly does legend tell us lies within the Chamber?" Harry questioned.
"Thats hard to say. It's a chamber I would love to find." Lilith told her 6th years. "No one has been down there in ages maybe only the person that. the Chamber is said to be home to something that only the Heir of Slytherin can control. It is said to be the home of a monster. But I think it would be fun to slay the beast. That being said, please dont go looking for trouble.' Lilith added.

"Do you think it's true? Do you really think there is a Chamber of Secrets?" Harry questioned as they walked.
"Yes. Couldn't you tell? McGonagall's worried. All the teachers are." Hermione agreed.
" But if there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and it really has been opened, then that means..." Harry whispered. "That means my mum is no doubt going to try and find it and open it herself."
"The Heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts. The question is, who is it?" Hermione agreed.
" Let's think..." Ron suggested glancing to Draco, Crabbe and Goyle as they passed. Draco nodded to Harry. "who do we know who thinks all Muggle-borns are scum?" Ron went on.
"If you're talking about Malfoy..."
"Of course! You heard him: "You'll be next, mudbloods." Ron repeated.
"I heard him. But Malfoy, the Heir of Slytherin?" Hermione countered in disbelief.
"I dont think its him. He's just rude." Harry corrected. "He loves my mum and she's muggle born."
"Well, maybe Ron's right, Harry. I mean, look at his family, the whole lot of them have been in Slytherin for centuries." Hermione admitted.
"That doesnt mean all Slytherins are evil." Harry demanded. "My family is in slytherin, I think we already established that my parents are not evil."
"Crabbe and Goyle must know. Maybe we could trick them into telling." Ron added.
"Even they aren't that thick. But there might be another way. Mind you, it would be difficult, not to mention, we'd be breaking fifty school rules, and it'll be dangerous, very dangerous."
"Keep me out of it." Harry begged. "I need to study for herbology. I got my mum's lack of green thumb."
