Chapter 36: The Seven Seals

At midnight, the Gryffindor lounge was silent, except for the firewood in the fireplace, which was constantly stirring and crackling in the flames. The firelight enveloped the room, struggling to draw a long shadow behind Brandy. Brandi covered her mouth and yawned tiredly.

He's been waiting here for almost half an hour......

Obviously, I had quietly made an appointment to go to Classroom 13 together at 0:00 to have a look, but I didn't expect Hermione to be so slow! This is not the same style as Hermione, who usually sits there ten minutes early in class and preserves!

…… I don't know why, he suddenly thought of the scene of his father downstairs waiting for Shirley's mother to go out to buy things together. It was terrifying, and he shuddered unconsciously.

After waiting for a while, the door of the girls' dormitory was finally pushed open. A petite figure slipped out of the crack in the door with agility, as if she was worried that it would be more troublesome to run, and she also changed a set of clothes.

"It's not that I want to be late...... It's really Parvati who has so much energy today. Usually she falls asleep at ten o'clock! As a result, I don't know what good things happened today...... Until ten minutes ago, she was still in my bed and refused to come out, and she refused to come out, insisting that I whisper to her. She recalled, "I really worked hard... If she hadn't suddenly said she wanted to sleep, I would have almost pulled out my wand and fought with her! ”

………… That's why what do you girls do in the dormitory?

Thinking about whether it was Harry or Ron burrowing into his bed, Brandi almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood. Well, it's more pleasing to the eye when two cute girls get together.

"She shouldn't have noticed you slipping out, did she?"

"Probably not, she didn't react at all when I came out, and slept like a pig."

"Then let's go~"

Brandi took the lead, and the two stepped out of the doorway, then quickly disappeared into the darkness at the end of the hallway.

It's really strange to say, Hermione turned out to be such a person who followed the rules, and she was almost one day away from doing things meticulously according to the rules of Hogwarts. But since they fought with the trolls, she seems to be a different person, and she doesn't care so much about the school rules, and even Ron, who has the least affection for Hermione, has to admit that she is much cuter now than before...... At least like what the two of them are doing now, if someone finds out, at least a small part of the school rules will be violated.

The two of them silently descended the stairs to the corridor on the sixth floor. Originally, a week ago, Brandi would have entered through the faculty lounge on the first floor. But not anymore, Dumbledore's promise that Brandi could come and go as he pleases was only one month, and it had expired before Halloween.

Think of Filch, who hated Brandi to the bone a month ago...... Now that he is unrestrained, he must not go around next to him like a mad dog? He would even take advantage of Brandi's loneliness in broad daylight to catch him, and then use the most demanding attitude to find fault with him, such as an untidy tie that damages the school's image...... Hair does not wash and defile the castle......

Are you kidding! Apparently he is the one who hangs around the castle without washing his hair for a day! Brandi alone couldn't accept it......

So, as far as Filch's urine is concerned, he is now almost certain that he has already laid 10,000 traps in the faculty lounge, waiting for himself to fall into the net. He's not going to be stupid......

The three holes of the cunning rabbit~ This is invented for yourself!

"We're here......" Brandi paused, facing the polished wall at the staircase on the sixth floor. This is the entrance to Classroom 13. ”

Hermione looked at the wall curiously, she leaned forward and touched it, tapping lightly on the wall in a Muggle way, and then her ears were attached to listen carefully, hoping to hear the hollow sound. When that didn't work, she tapped every brick on it with her wand and recited a few strange incantations.

But in fact, it doesn't make any sense at all, if you can get in by touching the mechanism, Filch rubs the castle at least three or four times a day, how could he not know that there will be a special classroom here.

After finding nothing, she shrugged her shoulders in some frustration and said to Brandi. "Okay~ I have to admit that I really can't help it, it must be because I usually read too little books! After going back this time, it's time to borrow the library's "Introduction to Magical Mechanisms" and take a look......"

The terrifying aura from the top student made Brandi break out in a cold sweat and roll his eyes.

It's a shame that Brandi had already taught Hermione the spells and points of supermagic spelling on the day he was discharged from the hospital, but it was true that as the Sorting Hat said, not just anyone could use this seemingly simple spellcasting skill. Hermione's super-magical state lasted barely half a second, and then she would enter a magical exhaustion...... And there is only one consequence of the magic exhaustion of a normal wizard, that is, she looks sick for three whole days, and a gust of wind can blow her down.

So this time, although Hermione was very unwilling, she could only watch Brandi stand by the wall triumphantly and easily open the teacher's entrance.

"Spell Casting - Doros!"

Almost like a leisurely stroll, Brandi quickly entered the super magic state and opened the door. Watery blue ripples rippled from the wall, glowing softly, and it slowly expanded from fist size to a glowing door in a few moments.

Brandi quickly severed the magic link, he was already extremely skilled, and at the moment he only felt a little emptiness. He stepped forward and graciously pulled the door open.

"Ladies First~"

"Hmph~" Hermione rolled her eyes and walked in first.

………………

Brandi followed, then closed the door, and he fumbled to the wall, activating the magic on the candlestick, and the candle flame dispelled the darkness in the classroom.

"Oh~" Hermione let out an exclamation of surprise. As her eyes adjusted to the light in the classroom, she was first fascinated by the candlestick that Brandi was fiddling with! "Oh my God! This thing is real! ”

Curious, she approached like a baby and carefully observed the patterns carved on it.

"The Sorting Hat just said it was enchanted by the Immortal Fire, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to listen to his tone?"

Hermione turned her head and gave Brandi a disdainful look. "So what was going on in your mind when you went to the history of magic? Professor Binns mentioned this profound magic in the second lesson! ”

What were you thinking about when you went to the history of magic............ Brandi scratched her head and thought awkwardly, as if she had thought about it in addition to studying.

Hermione pulled a small notebook and charcoal from her sleeve, wondering why she would take such a thing with her when she ran out and ventured, she opened the notebook and scribbled on it, as if she was planning to copy the patterns on it. He was still happy to explain to Brandi.

"You think it's the kind of eternal flame that is written about in books now? How naΓ―ve! The current inextinguishable fire is a castrated version when it dies, how can it be compared with the original genuine product. You must know that even if you soak this candlestick in water, send it to the moon, and even destroy it in various ways, this fire will not go away...... Unless a specific spell solution is used. As far as I know, the only wizard who has been able to do this in the last two hundred years is probably only Messeberg in 1803, who is ............"

Hermione was clearly in frenzy mode, as she copied patterns at a rapid pace, muttering all sorts of names, magic theorems, and accomplishments that Brandy didn't understand...... She chattered on and on, from the candlesticks to the walls, to the spells on the blackboard, to the windowsills... If a woman is five hundred ducks, then Hermione alone can act as a teacher... Brandi felt only a buzzing in his ears, and he knew every word she had come out, but he didn't know what she was talking about.

"See? This magic pattern on the wall, it's a ...... that can withstand spells and physical blows."

"I haven't seen this on the windowsill, but it must have something to do with why I can see the outside world......

"The front of the pulpit is painted with the seven seals of the Bible's book of Revelation, well, this doesn't seem to be a magic pattern, and it feels a little newer than the pulpit? I guess this was engraved later......"

Hermione's nagging finally stopped in front of the podium, and Brandy finally calmed down with a sigh of relief, and had a rare opportunity to interject.

"What are you talking about? Seven seals? ”

Hermione ignored him, staring at the overly intricate patterns on the podium in confusion, as if thinking about something.

"That's weird...... How could the one engraved on the back be mixed with the original pattern? Isn't that ugly? No, no, no......"

She muttered to herself, and began to pull out her wand and tap it around the podium.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ What's wrong with that? It's just that the author in the back doesn't have any aesthetics, so he scribbles on it casually......"

"Whoa~" The pulpit that had been in disrepair suddenly made a muffled sound, and Hermione shouted "Ahhhh This scared Brandi out of the way. "What are you doing?! Yelling! ”

She looked at Brandi with a shudder, her face a little uneasy. "I ...... I don't know why, but when I touched my wand, a hole broke in this side of the podium! It looks pretty sturdy! ”

…………

"Hi...... It's okay, no one usually comes to this place anyway? Who knew you did it...... Let me take a look, it's a big deal, let's use the repair charm to get it right~" Brandi calmly comforted Hermione, he turned around, chanting a fluorescent spell in his mouth, his wand glowed faintly, and he looked at the big hole that Hermione had inadvertently made......

The eyes of the two suddenly widened, and the two of them stared at each other with big eyes.

"Huh......? This...... What is it? ”

By the faint light of the wand's head, they vaguely noticed that something seemed to be attached to the back of the broken wooden board of the pulpit.

Is that a card? Or...... A note?
