Chapter 257 Woof Woof Woof
Hogwarts is not a castle in the conventional sense.
Ever since Ms. Ravenclaw began to try to solidify magic on this castle, generations of outstanding wizards have followed the example of the forerunners and secretly left some "gifts" of their own in the castle.
Although most of them are just harmless jokes, such as the stairs that are always slippery, the armor that makes strange noises from time to time, and the steps that people can sink into.
But occasionally there are some amazing magical traces such as the "Room of Requirement", "Living Gargoyle", and "Mobius Ring". Of course, there are more various shortcuts and Secret passages - even Dumbledore dare not say that he has understood more than half of the secret passages in this school.
"Interesting, a very clever magic."
Grindelwald stopped and observed the three-way intersection in front of him with interest.
It seems like a planning error when building the castle. On the right side of the intersection that was supposed to be divided into three equal parts, a small section of redundant stone path appeared, roughly only half the width of a foot, as if out of desperation. Feel free to fill in the parts the same.
The strange sound that the two of them heard before came from above this small section of redundant stone path.
"I think we found a shortcut."
Grindelwald took out his wand and tapped it lightly on the smooth stone wall. A layer of ripples spread like water waves, and a long corridor with flickering firelight vaguely appeared on the stone wall.
"I can confirm that the back of this wall is connected to a certain corner of Hogwarts Castle. Use the basic process of the transformation spell to extract a part of the space, but when it is about to take shape, it will be permanently deformed and covered on the wall - What a genius idea.”
The first-generation Dark Lord glanced at the confused little devil behind him, thought for a moment, and explained in a more popular way.
"If we want to draw an analogy, the display form is somewhat similar to the platform 9 you once passed. However, in terms of magic principles, this one is more ingenious and complicated."
"To put it simply, it is an arbitrary door with a fixed starting position. It is not difficult to understand."
Elena shook her head, nodded in realization, and then looked at Grindelwald with a look of disgust.
"The only question is, are you sure we won't get even more lost after passing through here? Although we can no longer find our way back to the Potions classroom..."
There is no doubt that with Grindelwald's guidance and company, for Elena, who has no sense of direction, it feels great to roam the unknown and explore the castle without any worries.
——The premise is that it is not a meal close to lunch, walking through piles of rocks despite hunger.
"In just a few minutes, there were signs of human activity on the other side. At this point in time, there will still be areas of human activity in the castle. Even if it's not near the auditorium, it must be next to the road near the auditorium."
"However, there seems to be a little strange step, let me see what it is."
Grindelwald grinned confidently, turned his wand half a circle in his hand, drew a strange symbol, and whispered.
"Retros Decrypt【Retrospective decryption】"
A mysterious magical message poured out from the tip of the wand, turning into pale silver characters floating in the air.
[Hold the wand, turn around three times, and then accurately hit the seventh stone brick to pass through - a certain Hufflepuff enthusiast who does not want to be named. 】
"A simple and practical little spell, specially designed to deal with this situation. If you are interested, I can teach you later."
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, looked at Elena with an "so awesome" look on her face, and said with a smile.
"However, I think based on your talent, you can do better than me in fourth grade at the latest."
"Yeah, rua!"
boom!
Elena nodded seriously, glanced thoughtfully at the scene in front of her, suddenly raised her small fist, and punched the wall, leaving a clear small fist mark.
"That way, if you see it again later, you'll know."
Elena gently rubbed her wrist and said softly.
The walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have been additionally strengthened for magical protection. Most of the traces caused by spells cannot be preserved for a long time - however, if it is physical damage, it will always exist unless someone takes the initiative to repair it. of.
This is the conclusion Grindelwald came to when he was looking for a way. The magic coordinates left by the two people are almost useless and will be "refreshed" by the magic wall of the castle in less than a minute.
Following the "guidance of the unknown senior Hufflepuff", Elena turned around three times, raised her wand and pointed it accurately on the seventh stone from the bottom.
The next moment, the touch of the hard stone wall disappeared instantly, and the girl felt that the wand in her hand was sent forward without any force, as if it had pierced a ball of air - a passage appeared.
"Then I'll go there first?"
Elena turned her head and waved to Grindelwald, who was taking care of her behind her. Without hesitation, she raised her steps and walked into the stone wall that was rippled like water waves.
In Hogwarts, as long as there are areas where people pass by, there are no particularly dangerous magic traps.
The house elves and idle ghosts who maintain the castle all the time are like the guardian spirits of this castle, silently protecting and patrolling the entire castle - not to mention the professors with outstanding magical abilities.
…
Grindelwald's description is correct. The entire shuttle process is no different from the way of crossing platform 9.
Nothing special happened. In the blink of an eye, Elena had emerged from the cold unknown underground passage and appeared at the end of a long corridor. On the right side was a closed door.
It seemed that she should have walked directly out of the wall next to the door, and the ripples on the stone wall behind her had not dispersed. Obviously, Grindelwald, who was following her closely, was about to come.
Elena raised her hand, pushed the door subconsciously, and couldn't help frowning - the door was locked.
This is not good news, because in most cases, Hogwarts will not lock the door. And, if she guessed correctly. In the plot of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", this year, there is a rather special door in the forbidden passage on the fourth floor of the castle.
And based on the warm breathing coming from behind, the sticky liquid like saliva on the ground, and the somewhat foul smell in the entire environment...
She was obviously unlucky to be inside this door.
Fortunately, although there was a small accident, she only needed to survive for a few seconds before she could wait for the most powerful "grandpa" in the world to save her poor little life. At that point, it’s still unclear who is bullying whom.
"Rua!"
"Rua!"
Without any hesitation, Elena used the remaining two "Magic Blessings" this week in one go, superimposing them on top of the previous enhanced state that had not had time to dissipate. That is, she could directly punch with all her strength. An adult wizard was beaten to a near death state.
Elena's muscles tensed up and she turned around solemnly. She put her fist on her waist with her left hand, raised her wand with her right hand and looked behind her with vigilance.
At the same time, three low roars with different meanings sounded in the corridor.
"Woof?"
"Woof."
"Woof!"
