Chapter 54: The Golden Key
After a few days of calm, things didn't seem to have changed, I didn't hear the news of a basilisk attack, and I didn't see the chief magician of the mysterious Wizengamot appear, I don't know what the White Wizard has been busy with during this time, is the White Wizard still busy with the Philosopher's Stone?
The Earl had written to him that he had returned to England from France, as Muggle Prime Minister Maggie was going to convene a meeting of investors about the development of Canary Harbor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe huge interests made the Earl have to venture back to England with a turbulent undercurrent.
At Shea's insistence, Hermione didn't reveal the monster to the professor, Shea didn't know the school's attitude towards the matter, and he didn't know how much Professor McGonagall Snapflivy knew about the basilisk, at least Professor Binns thought it was nonsense, and of course, it could be that Professor Binns had been at Hogwarts for too long.
Andrew Lee, who never dared to relax secretly, pretended to go to bed early and get up early every night, ignoring what was happening outside the window, which made several boys in the dormitory very curious about how Andrew, who had always been elusive, suddenly changed his personality and stayed in the dormitory honestly.
Ginny seemed ready to be discharged from the hospital, she didn't go to Hermione to get her notebook back, and it seemed like Ginny realized something. Xie An met with the twins and told them about Ginny, of course, it was only a very misleading hint, such as that Ginny was in early love! The twins were overwhelmed and took turns following Ginny every day, as if they were afraid that their sister would suddenly run away with a wild boy. Ginny's smile widened.
Tonight was another moonlit night, and Xie An waited for the movement in the dormitory to disappear before secretly getting up from the bed. Ravenclaw's tower is high up in Hogwarts Castle, just as the Eagle's Nest likes to be built on a cliff face. Xie An slowly walked out of the dormitory, slowly ascending an infrequently used staircase until he reached a small door.
"Andrew, you're a little late tonight. A portrait of a medieval male wizard on the wall said to the sneaky Shea.
"Ser Dracula, it's so dark that you can see me?" Xie An asked curiously.
"Haha, boy, you underestimate me Sir Dracula, my eyes see more clearly at night than by day. Sir Wizard, who was dressed in wizard's robes and decorated with aristocratic lace, laughed loudly, forcing Xie An to use the mute spell.
"Shhhhhhh
"It's all my unscrupulous descendants who destroyed my portraits, otherwise I wouldn't have been trapped in this castle for more than a hundred years, and I would never have seen the wonderful world I thought about day and night, I... I... Ay. Ser Dracula said in frustration, hiding his hat from his face and shrugging his shoulders as if he were really crying.
"Okay, okay, I promised you that I would do it, didn't you just ask me to help you restore a few portraits, I will find a way. Even if it's as difficult as you say, I'll do my best!" Xie An came to the small door and gently clasped the wooden door.
"Haha, I know that you kid has a reputation, and when it is convenient for you, you must make a trip to Romania to help me find my portraits and restore them!" Sir Dracula laughed heartily, and did not look like he was about to cry at all.
"I've knocked on the wooden door in rhythm, open the door, because they're late tonight, and they've wasted too much time. The other three boys in the dormitory didn't know where to get a Muggle board game card, and the three of them had been arguing for half the night, and Xie An almost couldn't help but cast a sleep spell on them.
"Don't worry, young people should be more steady. Before I open the door to you today, I have a nice reminder, would you like to listen?" laughed Count Dracula.
"Old man, when you can't wait to leave the Hogwarts castle and go outside, isn't it appropriate to let the young man calm down?" Xie An said helplessly.
"That's different. I've heard that you've received a nice reward from the Sphinx, a kind reminder that that thing is precious, if you really want to be a powerful wizard. Ser Dracula whispered.
"What? that key, you say?" remembered the day he met the big green snake, and he got a golden key by answering the question. Ravenclaw has a convention of rewarding answers, all kinds of strange rewards, and sometimes worthless pranks, so Xie An didn't take it to heart at all.
"Yes, yes, that's it, it's a precious thing, and I warn you, there's a word on it!" said Sir Dracula, whispering, as if he were afraid that others would hear it.
The small door to the spire of the tower opened, and Xie An entered the small attic that he was already familiar with. This place is the highest point of the tower, and the roof of the dormitory is topped by an inverted funnel-shaped roof, and the dusty rough planks on the ground are the roof of the dormitory. Xie An came to the middle of the room and sat cross-legged on a spread carpet.
Thinking of Ser Dracula's reminder, Shayne took the golden key from the mock bag he had carried with him.
"Suzukusa lighting. Pale blue flames erupted from the hibiscus staff, shining brightly with the gold-forged key. The key was only the size of Xie An's finger, and the golden key showed no signs of rust, looking as if it had been newly minted. Xie An carefully examined the key, and sure enough, he saw a small text in the middle part of the key.
Xie An unconsciously whispered: "The dream shadow mist flower is all void, because my heart is moving, Fang turned into an illusion, and I went to my dream..."
The key erupted with an astonishing golden light, and Xie An felt something slam his navel, and then, everything was overwhelmed by the golden light.
Xie An, who felt as if he was traveling with a portkey, tried to balance his body for the first time and clenched the Fusang wooden staff. But when he found that there was nothing in his hand, he quickly touched his Mok bag, and there was no such thing! No, this was not a portkey, nor was it an illusion, and it seemed that he only had consciousness here.
Looking at the brightly lit but empty Hogwarts Castle, Xie An did not dare to be careless, and the place where he was standing was the door of the Ravenclaw common room. Seeing that the monsters that used to guard the gate were like real stone sculptures without any movement, Xie An was extremely puzzled.
The portraits were asleep, motionless and silent, and the sound of footsteps in the empty castle was particularly loud.
"Someone seems to be spying on me!" Xie An muttered in a low voice, at this time Xie An didn't even dare to approach the wall, in the wizarding world, the corner of the wall does not mean a safe back!
Despite not having a wand, Xie An managed to put an armor spell on himself to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on his back. Not knowing where he was, the boy had to go down the stairs, hoping to meet something.
Along the way, apart from the familiar castle, there was not a single living thing. Xie An couldn't help but become more nervous, and the feeling of being peeped at became even stronger.
