The night is getting darker.

Hogwarts Castle was dark at night, and most of the rest of the castle was in darkness except for the light from the patrolling Filch's lantern.

Of course, the passage to the Hufflepuff dormitory, located underground, was also pitch black. Coupled with the intricacies of this place, even old students who have lived here for several years will not casually go to unfamiliar routes after the lights are turned off.

But at this moment, Ens was touching the darkness all the way and involuntarily went deep into it.

He didn't know why he was doing it, he just knew that the strange feeling was still guiding him, and he was going to follow that premonition. He also knows that as long as he follows this feeling, he will inevitably get some unexpected benefits in the end.

It's like in the hallway outside the common room, knowing that he shouldn't have kept up with Filch, but in the end, he surprisingly gets a chance to lead the way.

“…… Speaking of which, if we hadn't found a Slytherin scapegoat, it wouldn't have been nice to wait for Filch to report the matter to the headmaster. "Drawing him away with a tapestry would be a temporary escape at best, but if he finds out that he had been deceived...... Even if you can't find me for a while, tomorrow the headmaster will find out when he asks those house-elves......"

Yes, if no one mentions it, the house-elves will not take the initiative to report it. But since the place where Filch was played was at the door of the Hufflepuff common room, if this matter was investigated, it would naturally be investigated from the most likely place, and it would be a matter of time before the stuffing was revealed.

At that time, the time was urgent, and Ens must not have had time to think about it, and being able to lure Filch away with a tapestry was already a blessing in the elixir. If it weren't for the extraordinary effect of the Elixir, that glimmer of inspiration would have led him to throw the matter on Slytherin's head, and his quick and intelligent method of avoiding disaster would have been completely in vain.

Now, when Ens felt that strange premonition again at the door of the dormitory, he naturally chose to go with the flow without hesitation.

Seriously, just this time the feeling is especially strong, he has to take a good look at what "luck" awaits him in the end.

This underground passage is still so dim. The deeper he went, the more hazy Ens became, and when he got to the back, he could even say that he couldn't see his fingers.

However, the effect of the elixir still maintained his intuition, so that he did not miss a single step. Even if the head twisted and turned in the darkness, he would turn around the corner and move forward seemingly irregularly through these passages.

“…… Is this it? ”

Suddenly, he muttered to himself, and then paused. And his right hand, almost at the same time, poked slightly to his side, and grabbed a palm-sized, smooth and round hard object.

"Click—"

It was the sound of the deadbolt being twisted, and it seemed that what he was holding was a doorknob.

Ens nodded to himself, acknowledging the guidance in his mind, then turned around and stepped out steadily.

"Click."

When his hand left the cool handle, the door, which he couldn't even see, closed again.

"Fluorescent flickering."

This is a spell that is taught to students in the first grade, and it is the second practical spell after the levitation charm. In fact, even if he didn't eat chocolate, Ens could still use it smoothly, but the light on the tip of his staff was obviously much brighter than usual.

And the next second the wand glowing spell took effect, a room with a lot of dust was immediately revealed in front of Enns.

It can be seen that this should have been a rather old accommodation room, with beds, tables, chairs, lampstands and other daily necessities. But perhaps because it has been uninhabited for so long, it has long been turned into an alternative storage room, and even the period when it was turned into a storage room is probably some years.

Ens stood in the doorway with his wand in hand, and looked up and down from side to side, and found that the miscellaneous items piled up here were all pots and pans, some of which had long since fallen apart.

"This room is not a short distance from the current dormitory area." "It seems that at some point in the past, the number of students in Hufflepuff House may have been much higher than it is now......

Of course, this was just a passing thought for Ens, who quickly put the thought aside and planned to follow the instructions of his mind to a certain place in the room. This time, however, he had only taken one step before he suddenly stopped again.

The wand in his hand suddenly drooped, and the light instantly illuminated the ground near him, and a series of footprints that were not his own were immediately revealed.

"Has anyone been here before?"

Since this room is full of dust accumulated over the years, if someone walks without cleaning up their footprints, it will be obvious at a glance. And at this moment, there are a few quite obvious footprints on the ground, which can be seen at a glance through the light.

But let's be honest, a few footprints here aren't really a big deal. Students are not forbidden to come and go here, so if Anns Taon can come, no one else can come?

But Ens apparently doesn't think so.

saw that he immediately squatted down, stretched out his left index finger and gently wiped the footprint, and then put it in the light to take a look.

As mentioned before, this place is actually very deep into the passage, and it may have been used a long time ago, but in recent years it has been in a semi-abandoned state. If it weren't for the magic that sustains the structure of Hogwarts Castle as a whole, it would have fallen into disrepair and more than half of this underground passage would have collapsed.

If there is no purpose, who would have nothing to do and hang out here?

"No matter what benefits you get later, you have to pay attention to it later...... Maybe someone else knows about it......" Ens thought cautiously, secretly adding a reminder to himself.

It's always good to be careful, and Thaens Taon, that's the kind of person.

"However, judging from the fact that there is dust in the footprints, it is likely that the man has been gone for a while. And it's strange that there are only a few footprints from the door to the center of the room, and back to the door from the middle...... What is that guy doing here? ”

Because the role of Lucky Chocolate is time-limited, Ens only thought about it for a moment, and quickly buried this concern in his heart.

On this trip tonight, he's here to get the benefits!

After that, Ens didn't think much of it, and walked straight to the corner on the right side of the room.

Because there were a lot of messy debris in the way, and he had to maintain the wand glow spell to dispel the darkness, he had to push and kick all those things to sweep them all over, but the original black and yellow robes were black and white, and it looked a little embarrassed.

However, the toss was worth it, and when he tore down a half-collapsed wooden shelf, a cupboard that had also been damaged was revealed.

It's just that unlike the crunchy and rotten woodwork, this cupboard is made of stone bricks directly on the wall, and the doors are dropped, but the inside is barely formed. And on the smoothed stone brick cabinet, stacks of silver dishes with faint fine decorations are still placed on them.

It's just that the objects that were once used to hold food are now only filled with dust...... If the craftsman who made them back then were still alive, he would probably be able to cry to you on the spot.

However, of course, Ens was not interested in feeling any of this, he only cared if he could get something of value. With just one glance, he reached for one of the stacks of silver plates and pinched the edge of the bottom plate accurately.

Sure enough, he only flicked it and knew that the silver plate was fixed to it. And then, he pinched the edge and turned it hard, and with a burst of "clicking", the cupboard that seemed to be built directly on the wall opened like a door.

"Sure enough, it's a wizard's castle, and it's the same as what is written in those storybooks, there is a secret passage and secret door that is so hidden......"

Ens was amazed, but he didn't know that finding such a "Muggle-style" secret door at Hogwarts Castle was a real novelty.

Generally speaking, wizards usually use a variety of magic to build secret rooms. The more powerful the wizard, the more sophisticated and elaborate the spells are used to hide secret passages, and how can they use this purely physical structure that Muggles can design?

But it's the kind of method that wizards don't think of, and sometimes it can fool the talented teachers and students of Hogwarts, isn't it?

Of course, at the moment, Ens is just a young wizard who has only recently come into contact with the wizarding world, and even if he has a deep mind and a flexible mind, his knowledge is still limited after all. Maybe one day in the future, he will make a completely different exclamation for this strange design, but he will not have that kind of thought at this time.

So, with curiosity and anticipation, he took a step with his wand in his hand and walked into the dimly lit passage that had been exposed.

It is a secret passage of stone steps that slopes downward, the slope is not steep but very long, and it seems to be a spiral descending passage. On the outer stone wall of this spiral passage, a handrail groove has been dug out very intimately, but now it has long been full of dust stains, and it is impossible to support it.

However, because of the surprise in his heart, Ens did not feel too tired, and walked all the way down quite briskly.
