Chapter 491: The First Step

PS: At least one thing, the human society has always been consistent, that is, from the first part, all "Cupboard" has been translated as "cupboard", so Harry lived in a "cupboard" at the beginning, and he could put down a bed in it, Hagrid raised Aragog in the "cupboard", but this "cupboard" is a bit big, "the black figure of a large boy, the boy crouched in front of an open door with a large box next to it" Now in the Room of Requirement, the passage connecting with the outside world is still a "cupboard......

"But," Neville said as he looked at Harry and Darren, "I thought your return would mean rebellion, the overthrow of Snape and Caro. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, but that's only part of the story," Darren nodded, "for the sake of the whole plan, you have to follow the arrangement. ”

As for getting the students to leave the Room of Requirement, on the one hand, it is true that as Darren said, it is necessary to make room for the movement of people, and the Order of the Phoenix has gathered all the personnel for this operation, and according to the plan, these people must quickly arrive at the predetermined location at a specific time, which is really a bit difficult at Hogwarts, where apparition cannot be used.

On the other hand, in order to make the Death Eaters think that Harry appeared at Hogwarts alone, in order to let Voldemort come to him alone as much as possible, after all, if he can avoid a full-scale fight with the Death Eaters, it is very important for the Order of the Phoenix, which has no upper hand, even Blake, who attaches the most importance to Harry's safety, cannot deny this.

"Alright," seeing that neither Harry nor Darren had any intention of compromising, and that Black had made an affirmative gesture, Neville sighed and led them to a corner, a small storage room leading up a steep staircase.

"It leads to a different place every day, so they never find it," Neville said, "The only trouble is that you never know where you're going to end up, be careful, they patrol the corridors at night." ”

"No problem," Darren shrugged, "we have this," he said, pulling a folded piece of parchment from his pocket.

"Live map!" Harry cried, grabbing it, "you, how did you get it, I thought, I thought it was in the Headmaster's office." “

"It's in the Headmaster's office," Darren looked at Hermione, "and you're not the only one who uses the Flying Charm. "After Dumbledore's death, he took the map of the living spots.

"Why didn't you take it out before?"

"We're not coming to school again, what are we going to do with it?" this map only shows what's going on inside Hogwarts," Darren said, "all right, let's go." “

They walked up the stairs, which were long, reflecting the light of torches, often turning unexpectedly, and at last, they came to a solid wall, which Darren gently pushed, as Neville had said.

The wall melted immediately, and they dodged outside, only to find that the wall was sealed again, and the Room of Request was magical.

They were standing in a dimly lit hallway, Harry holding the map of the living spots, leaning over his nose and searching carefully, finally finding their current location, "We're on the sixth floor," he whispered, "Come, go this way, Filch is over there......"

Darren reckons that apart from the Weasley twins, there is no one better suited than Harry, who has been in the castle many times before.

Although they came in this time to let the Death Eaters find out, so as to lure Voldemort over, if Filch found out first, there might be a professor who prevented him from reporting the Death Eaters, in which case he would have to explain to the professors, in order to avoid any trouble, so he decided to avoid Filch and go directly to the Death Eaters, anyway, this is not difficult for Harry.

"Here I found Alecto Caro," Harry whispered, "in the Ravenclaw common room."

Harry followed the instructions of the Living Point Map and led them up a spiral staircase, making a dizzying circle up until they came to a door with no handles or keyholes, only an old wooden plank with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker.

"How do we get in?" Harry asked, and Darren looked at each other.

"Whatever, let's try," Darren stretched out a hand and knocked on the door, and the hawk's beak immediately opened, but instead of making a bird's call, he said in a gentle, musical voice, "Phoenix and Fire, which one comes first?"

"What does that mean?" muttered Ron.

"I guess we'll have to answer that question before we can get in," Hermione said with a frown.

"What? Not just passwords?"

"Ravenclaw is obviously not the same as Gryffindor," Hermione mused, "Let me think about which ......one came first, Phoenix and Fire."

"What happens if I get it wrong, will the door go off the alarm?" Harry looked at Hermione nervously.

"I guess not, it's just a measure Ravenclaw used to keep other House students from entering their common room, and there's no way the Death Eaters knew we're back," Darren said, "Big deal, we'll just wait here for Alector to come out, and you can find other Death Eaters, like Amicus, or Snape." ”

"Okay......

"Phoenix and fire," Hermione repeated in a low voice as she looked up, "Well, I guess the answer is a cycle with no beginning. ”

"Makes sense. With that, the door opened.

"Wow!" Harry and Ron both grew their mouths as they looked at the open door, "You're amazing!" Hermione shrugged.

Darren made a gesture for Harry to go first, and then followed him into the door, the empty Ravenclaw common room was a large circular room, with elegant arched windows on the wall, hanging blue and bronze silk, presumably during the day, the Ravenclaw classmates could see the surrounding mountains, it must be a beautiful scenery.

The ceiling is domed with stars painted on it, and the dark blue carpet below is also covered with stars, and the room has a table, chairs, bookshelves, and in the niche opposite the door stands a tall white marble statue by Rowena Ravenclaw.

Next to the statue was a door, probably leading to the dormitory above, in order to avoid being discovered by Alector, they had put away the map of the living point, they only knew that the Death Eaters were here, but they didn't know the exact location, and walked around lightly.

Darren and Hermione walked up to the marble statue, the woman seemed to be looking at him, with a mocking smile on her face, beautiful, but somewhat intimidating, with an elaborate ring reproduced in marble above her head, a bit like the kind of headdress Fleur wore at her wedding, with tiny words carved into it, he knew, the contents of it.

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest treasure of mankind," Darren said softly.

"It's going to make you a pauper, fool!" a voice smirked.

At this voice, everyone jerked to the person who spoke, it was Alecto Carlo, and Darren was pleased to see that she had pressed her short index finger against her forearm, where there must have been a tattoo of a skeleton and a snake.
