	Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom Moaning Myrtle's bathroom contains the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. The entrance is a sink with a snake scratched onto the tap, opened by speaking in Parseltongue. This causes the sink to open into a pipe large enough for a person to slide down. At the bottom of this chute is a tunnel leading to the Chamber of Secrets. When Tom Riddle opened the Chamber in 1943, Myrtle was sulking in a stall. When she heard him, she opened the door, saw the Basilisk and died immediately, becoming a ghost. Her bathroom remains operational, but is rarely used by students because of Myrtle's disagreeable presence.	0	0	No posts have been made on this board.
	Chamber of Secrets The Chamber of Secrets, which is deep under the dungeons (probably under the lake), was home to an ancient Basilisk, intended to be used to purge the school of Muggle-born students. The Chamber was built by Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, before he left the school. Since June 1993, the Chamber has presumably been empty. The Chamber is well hidden and the entrance is in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom on the third floor, which leads down into a dark, slimy stone tunnel. There are many skeletons of small animals littering the floor and even a gigantic skin shed by the Basilisk. The tunnel leads to a solid wall, carved with two entwined serpents with emeralds for eyes. When Parseltongue is spoken they open into a very long, dim corridor, lined with monumental statues of snakes, including two towering stone pillars with more carved serpents that brace the ceiling. A colossal statue of Salazar Slytherin, looking ancient and monkey-like, is at the centre. The Basilisk rested inside the statue and emerged from its mouth when the Heir of Slytherin, Tom Marvolo Riddle, summoned it. Password Protected	0	0	No posts have been made on this board.
