Chapter 72 Are You Ready to Look at that Corridor Again?
Umbridge's sudden spell was beyond everyone's expectations.
Professor McGonagall was even more shocked. She had previously guessed that these ghost faces were mostly created by Ivan using the Transformation Spell. If the Appearance Spell was broken on the spot, it would be over.
However, what neither Mag nor Fudge expected was that the Appearance Spell was of no use, and the ghost face remained unchanged.
"This is impossible!" Umbridge shouted in a panic.
Dumbledore was not too surprised by this result. When he came into contact with these masks, he had a rough estimate of the level of Ivan's transformation spell. The structure of these wooden ghost faces that have been deformed for some reason is very stable, even beyond the level it should be.
Dumbledore didn't know that Ivan accidentally used magic to analyze a round mahogany table during the second burst of magic. He knew the wooden structure very well, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised.
On the other hand, although Umbridge is a senior official in the Ministry of Magic, she has been busy consolidating power and intrigues over the years, and her spellcasting level is very average. Even using the Appearance Spell, it is impossible to quickly disintegrate these wooden ghost faces transformed by Ivan.
McGonagall was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She remembered that Ivan's transformation spell a few days ago was far from reaching this level. If she hadn't known that this was where the three-headed dog was, she would have almost thought that Snape was I actually bought a bunch of masks and hung them here.
"Impossible, you must have done something!" Umbridge looked at Dumbledore mischievously. She thought that the other party must have buried some secrets in advance, so she found nothing.
Her judgment is absolutely impossible to make mistakes!
"Are you questioning me?" Dumbledore turned his head, the vampire mask still on his face.
But what frightened Umbridge even more was Dumbledore's eyes under the mask, which seemed to see through her completely. Under his gaze, Umbridge could not help but recall the memories buried deep in her mind. The dirty things she thought she had long forgotten
Only then did Umbridge remember that the centenarian in front of her was not the minor characters she usually faced, but the most prestigious and powerful wizard in the wizarding world today!
Umbridge's legs were shaking, fear, anger, worry and other emotions welling up in her heart, but she didn't dare to say another word.
Dumbledore didn't put much effort into playing a small role like Umbridge. He took off the mask on his face and put it in his arms. Then he turned his head and said to Fudge.
"Fudge, you must have seen everything you should see, right? Everything in Hogwarts complies with the regulations of the Ministry of Magic! There are no dragons here, and there is no danger. The young wizards who study here are extremely safe."
"Of course, I saw it." Fudge's face was a little uncertain. He was sure that Dumbledore was hiding something from him, but he had no choice but to hold his nose and admit it.
"Umbridge, let's go." Fudge threw the ghost mask aside in disappointment and said to the trembling Umbridge.
"Perhaps you can spend more time in Hogwarts." Dumbledore teased casually.
"No, the Ministry of Magic still has a lot of government affairs to deal with." Fudge said with a gloomy face, opened the door and walked out. Umbridge followed closely, but could no longer maintain the tired smile on her face.
Professor McGonagall walked last and closed the open wooden door. She vaguely saw that the ghost face that Fudge had thrown in the corner turned into a small wooden comb in a burst of distortion, and the others also turned into various small objects, more than a hundred The flavored beans fell down with a clatter.
Mag smiled and closed the door with his backhand.
"Wait, what's that sound?" Fudge, who was walking at the front, seemed to hear something vaguely. He turned his head and took a look in confusion, but he could only see that the wooden door was closed.
"Are you ready to look at that corridor again? I think you can pick out a mask as a souvenir, how about this?" Dumbledore took out the vampire mask from his arms and gestured.
"Forget it." As soon as he saw the mask, Fudge couldn't help but get angry. He originally thought he could catch Dumbledore here, but he didn't expect that there would be such a mysterious thing inside.
Dumbledore nodded and stuffed the mask into his arms again. Without the support of his magic power, the vampire mask twisted back to its original appearance.
That's a small round mirror
On the other side, Ivan, who fell from a height, did not suffer any damage, because with the devil's net as a buffer, Ivan released a floating spell on himself before falling, and landed in a very stable posture.
But other people were not so lucky. Their broken bones were almost falling apart, but they still didn't dare to scream because the three-headed dog Lu Wei was still here. If he accidentally disturbed it, Wake up, that's it.
"Where is this? An underground secret room? I didn't expect there to be such a place in the castle." Ron looked around and said in a low voice.
"Didn't we guess before? This is where Professor Dumbledore should have placed the Philosopher's Stone. Luwei and the Devil's Net should be used to prevent others from invading." Hermione explained softly.
No, the devil's net was specially designed by Professor Sprout to prevent you from falling and falling to your death. Ivan complained silently in his heart.
At the same time, Ivan discovered that this was a long passage. The surrounding gray stone walls were covered with moss and vines. It was probably not a temporary passage, but a space within Hogwarts itself. Maybe Dumbledore Lido just remodeled the place a little bit.
In order to avoid conflict with Lu Wei, who might wake up at any time, Ivan had no choice but to continue walking forward.
At the end of the corridor is a room. Through the light, you can see that the wooden door has been blown open, and there are circles of key-like things scattered on the ground.
"Someone came in before us. He first cast a fire spell and then blew open the wooden door!" Hermione knelt down and picked up a key, which showed signs of being burned by the flames.
"It must be Kino!" Ivan's face darkened. No wonder the three-headed dog Luwei was asleep when they came in. Maybe he was hit by a coma spell, or Kino used a transformation spell to make him Flute or something.
However, judging from what happened to these flying keys, Ivan guessed that it was probably the former, because the intruders seemed to have no intention of playing these level-breaking games. They might have been very grumpy and even spent a lot of magic power to forcefully break the level.
It shouldn't be because of him, right?
Ivan thought with some guilt
It’s just that Ivan doesn’t understand. How could Kino or Voldemort have the courage to enter Hogwarts again? How did you get in again?
"Let's go tell Professor Dumbledore quickly!" Harry said anxiously.
But after they finished talking, the four of them realized something at the same time. Today, Minister of Magic Fudge was in Hogwarts in person. Dumbledore and McGonagall, as principals and deputy principals, had to accompany them throughout the whole process, and they couldn't get away at all.
