Hogwarts is not a castle in the usual sense of the word.

Ever since Lady Ravenclaw began experimenting with solidifying her magic in the castle, generations of outstanding wizards have followed the example of the Forerunners and secretly left a few "gifts" of their own in the castle.

Although most of them are just innocuous jokes, such as the eternally slippery staircase, the armor that makes a weird noise from time to time, and the steps that make people sink in.

Occasionally, however, there were some amazing traces of magic such as the "Room of Requirement", "Living Fossil Like Ghost", "The Ring of Morbius", and, of course, all sorts of shortcuts and secret passages - even Dumbledore would not dare to say that he knew more than half of the secret passages in this school.

"Interesting, a very clever magic. ”

Grindelwald paused and observed the three-way intersection in front of him with great interest.

It seems to have been a planning mistake in the construction of the castle, and a small section of extra stone paths appeared on the right side of the junction, which was supposed to be divided into three equal parts, roughly half the width of the sole of a foot, as if it had been filled in at random in desperation.

The strange sound that the two of them had heard before came from above this small section of redundant stone path.

"I think we've found a shortcut. ”

Grindelwald drew his wand and tapped lightly on the smooth stone wall, a ripple like water waves spreading, and a long tunnel with flickering fire faintly appeared on the stone wall.

"I'm sure there's a corner of Hogwarts Castle behind this wall. Using the basic process of the Transformation Charm, a portion of the space is extracted, but permanently deformed and covered on the wall when it is about to take shape - a genius idea. ”

The first Dark Lord glanced at the little demon king behind him with a blank face, thought about it, and explained in a more popular way.

"If you were to use an analogy, the presentation would be a bit like the 9 platform you used to go through. It's just that, in terms of magical principles, this one is more ingenious and more complicated. ”

"To put it simply, it's an arbitrary door with a fixed starting position. It's not hard to understand. ”

Elena shook her hair, nodded in realization, and immediately looked at Grindelwald with disgust.

"The only question, are you sure we won't get lost even more completely once we pass through here, though we can't find our way back to the Potions classroom now......"

There is no doubt that with Grindelwald's guidance and company, it feels great for Elena, who has no sense of direction, to roam the unknown and explore the castle without worries.

- provided that it is not in this kind of meal close to lunch, walking through the rocks with hunger.

"In a matter of minutes, there were signs of movement on the other side. At this point in time, there will still be an area of the castle where people are active, if not near the auditorium, it must be next to the road near the auditorium. ”

"There seems to be a little bit of a strange little step to see what it is, though. ”

Grindelwald grinned and smiled confidently, and the wand spun in half a circle in his hand, drawing a strange symbol, and whispering it.

"Retros Decrypt"

A mysterious message of magic poured out from the tip of the wand, turning into pale silver characters floating through the air.

[With a wand in hand, spin around three times, and then hit the seventh stone brick accurately, and you will be able to pass through it - a Hufflepuff enthusiast who does not want to be named.] 】

"A simple and practical little spell specifically designed to deal with this situation, if you are interested, I can teach you later. ”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, looked at Elena with a "so powerful" look, and said with a smile.

"However, I think that according to your talent, you can do better than me in the fourth grade at the latest. ”

"Uh-huh, Rua!"

Bang!

Elena nodded seriously, glanced thoughtfully at the scene in front of her, and suddenly raised her small fist and slammed it into the wall, leaving a clear mark of a small fist.

"That way, if you see it later, you'll know. ”

Rubbing her wrist gently, Elena whispered.

The walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have been additionally enhanced with magical protection, and most of the traces caused by spells will not last long - however, if it is physical damage, it will always exist unless someone actively repairs it.

This was the conclusion that Grindelwald had come to when he was looking for his way, and the magic coordinates left by the two were of little use, and they would be "refreshed" by the castle's magical walls in less than a minute.

Following the "instructions of the unknown Hufflepuff seniors," Elena spun around three times, raising her wand to the seventh stone counted from the bottom up.

The next moment, the touch of the originally hard stone wall disappeared in an instant, and the girl felt that the wand in her hand was sent forward without force, as if piercing into a cloud of air - the passage appeared.

"Then I'll go first?"

Elena turned her head and waved at Grindelwald, who was in charge of the care behind her, and without hesitation, she raised her steps and walked into the rippling stone wall like water waves.

In Hogwarts, there are no particularly dangerous magical traps in any area where people pass by.

The house-elves and idle ghosts who maintain the castle all the time, like the guardian spirits of the castle, silently protect and patrol the entire castle in secret—not to mention the professors with superior magical abilities.

......

Grindelwald was right, and the whole shuttle was no different from the way the 9 platform was crossed.

Nothing special happened, and in the blink of an eye, Elena had emerged from the cold and unknown underground passage to the end of a long corridor, with a closed door on her right.

It seems that she must have walked out of the wall next to the door, and the ripples of the stone wall behind her did not dissipate. Obviously, Grindelwald, who was right behind her, was also about to come.

Elena raised her hand and subconsciously pushed the door, frowning - the door was locked.

This is not good news, as most of the time, Hogwarts does not lock the door. And, if she didn't guess wrong. In the plot of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", that is, this year, in the corridor on the fourth floor of the castle that is forbidden to enter, there is also a more special door.

According to the sound of slightly hot breathing coming from behind, the saliva-like slimy liquid on the ground, and some stinky smell in the whole environment......

She was apparently unfortunate enough to be inside the door.

Fortunately, although there was a little accident, she only needed to survive a few seconds before waiting for the world's most powerful "grandfather" to save her poor little life. At that time, I can't tell who is bullying whom.

“Rua！”

“Rua!”

Without any hesitation, Elena used the remaining two "Demon Blessings" of the week in one go, and superimposed them on top of the previous enhanced state before it had time to dissipate, that is, with a full swing of the punch, an adult wizard could be directly beaten to a near-death state.

Elena's muscles tensed, and she turned around with a solemn expression, her left hand cuckled at her waist, and her right hand raised her wand and looked back warily.

At the same time, three low growls of different meanings rang out in the hallway.

"Wang?"

"Wang. ”

"Wang!"
