Hogwarts: Harry Returns From The Witcher

Harry looked at the statue and rummaged through his memories.

Hogwarts has always been Hogwarts.

But it is over a thousand years old.

The general structure of the castle has not changed, but it has been renovated countless times inside and out.

This wizard statue was once the headmaster of Hogwarts and belonged to the Gaunt family. It was recorded in "Hogwarts, a School History". The reputation is not very good, and it is not as good as the one from the Black family. Almost the same. He is a staunch pure-bloodist who has caused a lot of trouble to ordinary people and even half-blood wizards. He even almost brought Hufflepuff to the point of being abandoned. This is why he is not the most hated principal. , mainly because he has existed for too long.

He was a figure from more than seven hundred years ago.

There was no portrait magic at that time, and his own magical ability was not outstanding, at least not to the level of Gryffindor or Dumbledore. He did not leave a portrait for himself, but he felt that he was so great that he should be in the He left nothing in Hogwarts, so he left a statue of himself outside the courtyard.

However, the third principal after him couldn't wait to tear down the statue as soon as he took office.

That was a Hufflepuff.

When it was the Gaunt family's turn to repair Hogwarts and build sewer pipes for this ancient castle, they proposed to move the statue of their ancestor back, but almost no one agreed with them, including the collusive pure Blood families.

So you stayed here?

Harry approached cautiously, took out his wand, and waved it gently.

Objects were flying around, and a ring of planets was floating on his head.

There is no trace of the existence of a Ravenclaw diadem.

A cabinet suddenly opened, and the magic hidden inside was touched.

Puff——

A small green snake suddenly pounced from behind Harry.

An oolong escape!

It opened its entire head, revealing densely packed, tiny, sharp fangs.

A stream of green venom was one step ahead of it, stabbing Harry faster.

But it was of no use.

He moved only slightly.

"Bang Dang" the venom hit Kun's shield hard. The little snake took a step back and collided with the venom. In the blink of an eye, it was melted and turned into a pool of black mist that dispersed.

Harry cast a spell.

Replace that cabinet. The charm on it is very old, at least fifty or sixty years old. It was once used by Slytherin as a "prank" prop for students in other houses?

Disappear.

With a finger of the wand, the disappearing spell caused the cabinet to turn into everything and nothingness.

He waved his wand again.

The other things fell back into place, and Harry looked at the statue. In the era before hair tonics, the headmaster of the Gaunt family had a very British style. Even after artistic processing, the hair was still not very thick.

He examined it carefully.

There is nothing special about the statue. There is a small magic on it. After bowing to him, the statue will respond. However, the magic has been there for too long and the statue is dilapidated. Only his head can be seen moving.

Crouch didn't seem to be lying to Snape.

There are indeed traces of the Ravenclaw diadem being stored here. On the wizard's head, there is a ring of fine and different dust, which is much lighter than other dust around it. It is the trace left by something that has been pressed for many years. .

Now

They left.

After Harry finished checking, he looked back, frowned slightly, and looked back.

The huge Room of Requirement still only smelled of decay and staleness, not Dumbledore's.

It's been so long and he still hasn't come?

Or.

A guess welled up in his mind.

Harry turned back and walked towards the exit. As soon as he opened the door, Dumbledore and Snape stood outside the door.

"Can't you come in?" Harry asked.

Dumbledore nodded.

Snape breathed a sigh of relief: "Potter, don't play such a prank, there is nothing."

"I am Gryffindor, but I am not George and Fred." Harry shook his head and interrupted, "Professor, what were you thinking outside the door just now?"

Dumbledore replied: "The house Harry Potter just entered."

"The secret room hidden here."

"The chamber containing Ravenclaw's diadem."

Snape nodded but said nothing.

Harry thought thoughtfully: "Professor, I have a guess. Later I will open the Room of Requirement with the idea of ​​"Give me a sword training room." You guys can try other ideas outside to see if you can open the Room of Requirement again. "

"Let's give this idea of ​​mine one last try."

After he finished speaking, he wandered in front of the wall three times, and the door to the Room of Requirement opened again.

Harry opened the door and walked in.

This time the layout of the room was completely different.

Just like an ordinary classroom, the floor is made of linen, and there is a row of weapon racks with different types of long swords placed on them, such as one-handed, two-handed, and foil swords.

Several wooden figures stood by the wall.

You can even see some traces of ancient training, and someone once used this room.

Harry waited in the room for a few minutes.

The door was pushed open.

Dumbledore and Snape walked in.

"Is this the Room of Requirement?" Dumbledore raised his head and stared at the center of the ceiling, thoughtfully.

Harry nodded: "It seems that Crouch's accomplice is really no longer in Hogwarts."

Snape said nothing, and Dumbledore looked at him.

Harry summed it up: "A small experiment just now allowed me to confirm one thing. If the Requirement Room is being used, the Requirement Room will not be opened again unless there are people with the same needs."

"That means no one was using this room before we came here."

Dumbledore nodded and smiled: "It seems that Sybil can find the sherry he hid."

"Next, we have to try another idea." Harry called them out and returned to the eighth floor corridor.

Harry took a deep breath, and with only the thought "I need a secret passage leading outside Hogwarts" in his mind, he walked back and forth in front of the wall three times.

The door appears again.

Harry opened the door and the three of them walked in together.

This time, the space inside the door was small, only two people wide, and the corridor extended to an unknown location. Harry led the way, casting all the protective spells and putting on Quen.

There is no need to worry about the light source in the passage, as bright oil lamps are lit at both ends of the wall.

After walking for about half an hour, we finally reached the end.

Harry estimated in his mind that this was about the same length as the secret passage to Honeydukes in the castle. He raised his hand and pushed gently. Something was pushed open, and dim light fell in.

With a wave of his wand, Harry conjured up a little rabbit, which bounded out, ran around in a circle, and came back safely.

Harry walked out.

Snape and Dumbledore followed.

The smell in the air is not very pleasant.
