Quote by J.K. Rowling

What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally the whole school knows.

What happened down in the dungeons between you and Professor

Summary

This quote highlights the irony in human behavior. Despite an event being labeled as a complete secret, it tends to spread rapidly through a community. It humorously points out how secrets have a way of inevitably becoming common knowledge, regardless of efforts to keep them concealed. It possibly reflects the tendency of people to gossip and share information, regardless of its intended secrecy. In this case, the mysterious events in the dungeons involving Professor Quirrell have somehow managed to circulate throughout the entire school.
