Chapter 669 Extraordinary in the Ordinary

The night gradually deepened.

The night at Hogwarts Castle was dim, except for the light scattered by Filch's lantern on patrol, most other places were in darkness.

Naturally, the passageway to the Hufflepuff bedroom underground was also pitch black. Coupled with the intricacies here, even old students who have lived here for several years will not casually walk around unfamiliar routes after the lights are turned off.

But at this moment, Ensi was groping all the way in the dark, and couldn't help but go deep into it.

He didn't know why he did this, he only knew that that wonderful feeling was still guiding him, asking him to follow that premonition step by step. He knew even more that as long as he followed this feeling, he would definitely get some unexpected benefits in the end.

Just like in the corridor outside the common room before, knowing that he shouldn't have followed Filch, but in the end he was surprisingly given a chance to make trouble.

"...Speaking of which, if I hadn't found a Slytherin scapegoat just now, it wouldn't be good until Filch reported the matter to the headmaster." Ence thought as he walked, "Use the tapestry to lure him Going, at best, can only be regarded as a temporary escape, but once he finds out that he has been cheated... Even if he can't find me for a while, the headmaster will find out all about it when he asks those house elves tomorrow..."

Yes, house-elves wouldn't tell on it if no one mentioned it. But since the place where Filch was played by someone was at the door of the Hufflepuff common room, if this matter was investigated, it would naturally be investigated from the most likely place, and it would be a matter of time before the truth was revealed.

At that time, time was urgent, and Ens must have had no time to think about it. It was thanks to the blessing of the elixir that he could use the tapestry to lure Filch away. If it weren't for the exceptionally good effect of the Felix Elixir, and that sliver of inspiration forced him to throw the matter on Slytherin's head, his quick-witted way of avoiding disaster might have been completely in vain.

Now, when Ensi felt that strange premonition again at the door of the dormitory, he naturally chose to let nature take its course without hesitation.

To be honest, just because the feeling is particularly strong this time, he has to take a good look at what "luck" is waiting for him in the end.

This underground passage is still so dark. The deeper he went, the more dim Ensi's vision became, and he could even say that he couldn't see his fingers behind him.

However, the effect of the Felicity Potion still maintained his intuition, so that he did not miss a single step. Even if the twists and turns here are hidden in the darkness, he will turn around accurately every corner, and walk forward in these passages seemingly without rules.

"……is it here?"

Suddenly, he muttered to himself, and then stopped in his tracks. And his right hand, almost at the same time, slightly probed to the side, and grabbed a palm-sized, smooth and round hard object.

"Click—"

It was the sound of turning the deadbolt. It seemed that what he was holding was a doorknob.

Ensi nodded to himself, confirmed the guidance in his heart, then turned around and stepped out steadily.

"Click."

When his hand left the cool handle, the door, which he couldn't even see clearly, closed again.

"Luminescence flickering."

This is a charm taught to students in the first grade, and it is also the second practical charm after the Levitation Charm. In fact, even if he didn't eat chocolate, Ens could still use it smoothly, but at this time the light on the tip of his wand was obviously much brighter than usual.

And the second after the magic wand glowing spell took effect immediately, a room with a lot of dust was immediately displayed in front of Ens.

It can be seen that this should have been a dormitory room of a certain age, with bed boards, tables, chairs, lampstands and other daily necessities. But perhaps because no one has lived there for too long, this place has already become an alternative storage room.

It's been a while since it was even turned into a storage room.

Ernes stood at the door with a wand in his hand, and took photos from left to right, up and down, and found that the sundries piled up here were all pots and pans, and some of them had even fallen apart.

"This room is not a short distance from the current dormitory area." He thought casually, "It seems that in a certain period in the past, the number of students in Hufflepuff College may be much more than it is now what……"

Of course, this was just a passing thought of Ensi, and he quickly put this idea aside, planning to follow the guidance in his heart to a certain place in this room. However, this time he only took one step, and suddenly stopped again.

I saw the magic wand in his hand suddenly lowered, and the light instantly illuminated the ground near him, and a series of footprints that were not his own were also revealed without a doubt.

"Anyone else has been here?"

Since this room is full of years of accumulated dust, if someone has walked and left their footprints, it will be obvious at a glance. And at this moment, there are a few fairly obvious footprints on the ground, which can be seen at a glance by the light.

But to be honest, a few footprints here are actually no big deal. It's not forbidden for students to come in and out here. If he, Ensi Tawen, can come, can others not?

It's just that Ensi obviously doesn't think so.

However, he immediately squatted down, stretched out his left index finger to wipe the footprint lightly, and then put it under the light to take a look.

As mentioned before, this is actually a very deep passage, and it may have been used a long time ago, but it has been in a semi-abandoned state in recent years. If it weren't for the fact that Hogwarts Castle has magic to maintain the structure as a whole, and it has been in disrepair for a long time, more than half of this underground passage would have collapsed.

If there is no purpose, who would come here to hang around?

"No matter what benefits you get later, you have to pay attention in the future...Maybe someone else knows..." Ensi thought carefully, and secretly added a reminder to himself.

It's always good to be careful, and he, Enns Taon, was that kind of man.

"However, judging from the point of 'there is dust in the footprints', the person has probably been away for a while. And it is strange, from the door to the center of the room, and then back to the door from the middle, there are only a few footprints in total. ...what is that guy doing here?"

Because the effect of lucky chocolate has a time limit, Ens only thought about it for a moment, and quickly buried this concern in his heart.

He's here to take advantage of this trip tonight!

After that, Ensi didn't think too much, but went straight to the corner on the right side of the room.

Because there were a lot of messy things blocking the way, and he had to keep his wand glowing to disperse the darkness, so he had to sweep them all over with his hands and feet, but the clothes that were originally black and yellow The robe was black and white, and looked a little bit embarrassed.

However, the trouble was worth it after all. When he knocked down a half-broken wooden shelf, a cupboard that was also damaged a lot was revealed.

It's just that it's different from those crunchy and rotten wooden products. This cupboard is built directly on the wall with stone bricks. The door of the cupboard may have fallen off, but the inside is still barely formed. And on the smoothed stone brick cabinet board, stacks of silver bowls and dishes with fine decorations are still placed on it.

It's just that the objects that were once used to hold delicacies are now only filled with dust... If the craftsmen who made them were still alive, I'm afraid they would have made you cry on the spot.

However, Ens is of course not interested in feeling these things, he only cares about whether he can get something of value. With just a glance, he stretched out his hand to one of the stacks of silver plates, and precisely pinched the edge of the bottom plate.

Sure enough, he just dialed it and knew that the silver plate was fixed on it. Immediately afterwards, he pinched the edge and turned it vigorously, and with a "cracking" movement of the mechanism, the cupboard that seemed to be built directly on the wall was opened inward like a door.

"Sure enough, it is indeed a wizard's castle. It is actually the same as those written in the storybooks, with such a hidden secret door..."

Erns was amazed by it, but he didn't know that it was a real novelty to find such a "Muggle-style" secret door in Hogwarts Castle.

Generally speaking, if a wizard builds a chamber of secrets, they usually use all kinds of magic. The more powerful a wizard is, the more complex and delicate they will use spells to hide secret doors and secret passages. How can they use such a purely physical structure that Muggles can design?

But it is this kind of method that most wizards will not think of, but sometimes it can deceive the talented teachers and students in Hogwarts, isn't it?

Of course, Ens is just a young wizard who has only recently come into contact with the magic world. Even if he has a deep mind and a flexible mind, it can be seen that his knowledge is still limited after all. Perhaps one day in the future, he will express another completely different sigh for this strange design, but at this time, he will not have that kind of thought.

So, with full of curiosity and anticipation, he raised his wand and walked into the exposed dark passage.

This is a dense passage of stone steps that slope downwards. The slope is not steep but very long, and it seems to be a spiral downward passage. On the outer stone wall of the spiral passage, a groove for the handrail was dug out with special care, but now the inside is full of dust and stains, and it is impossible to hold it up.

But because of the exuberant surprise in his heart, Ensi didn't feel too tired, and walked down quite briskly.
