Chapter 23: The Secret Passage and Filch
Anyway, my own panel shouldn't be a cut version, but there is no map function. Albert was still in the mood to tease his panel features, and he was in a good mood when he found the Room of Responsiveness.
No way, in the online novels I used to read, the system that comes with the pig's feet is usually awesome, and after turning on the scanning function, everything is hidden.
Now, if you think about it, the features of your own panel are really pitiful.
In fact, Albert is very happy to have a gold finger of the panel.
"I remember that the principal's office was also on the eighth floor, but I didn't know where it was on the eighth floor. Albert muttered.
Of course, he didn't plan to touch the headmaster's office, in case the old man Dumbledore noticed him, his life at the school would be difficult in the future.
After all, Hogwarts Castle was full of portraits, and it was easy for Dumbledore to find out what a student was doing.
Albert turned two more corners and found a staircase going down.
Walking down the stairs, I began to wander around the castle, helplessly finding myself lost.
Well, maybe it's not called getting lost, it's just that he's never been here.
Albert stopped in front of a wall, the light of his wand slicing across the wall, and he reached out and tapped lightly on it, it was solid.
However, Albert suspected that there was a secret passage here, no way, the sphin-headed eagle carving on the wall was too suspicious, and there were usually secret doors and secret passages hidden in such places.
"Kid, what are you doing here?" Nick peeked out of the wall next to him, looking in amazement at Albert as he examined the carvings.
Albert was startled by the sudden sound, and he felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest.
Albert quickly took a few deep breaths, calmed down his excessively fast heartbeat, and couldn't help but complain to Nick: "Don't be so elusive, you will scare people to death." ”
"Sorry, I didn't expect to scare you. Nick raised an eyebrow and asked again, "What are you doing here?"
"Take a walk. Albert replied honestly.
"Walking, this time?" Nick looked down the hallway, puzzled, it was still early.
"yes, take a walk. Sir Nicholas, I don't know if you'll be able to introduce me to Hogwarts, it's a labyrinth, and I accidentally got lost while walking. Albert looked at Nick with a smile, he could save a lot of time if the other party was willing to help.
"Oh, I think exploring the castle is a great pleasure for freshmen. Nick politely declined.
"You're right. Albert didn't care that Nick rejected him, and after greeting the other party with a smile, he continued to study the sphin-headed eagle carving in front of him.
Nick looked at Albert's back, shook his head, and reminded, "If you want to open that door, switch it on the griffin's talons." ”
"Thank you. Albert reached into the griffin's talons, and with a few taps, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage inside.
"See you later, Sir Nicholas. Albert nodded slightly at the ghost in thanks, raised his wand and walked into the secret passage.
It's narrow enough to allow one person through, making it definitely not a good place for people with a fear of confinement.
Albert could feel himself going down, and he didn't know where the secret passage led, but the discovery of it was good news for Albert.
Sure enough, the ghosts and portraits that inhabit the castle know more about Hogwarts.
The exit was hidden behind a portrait, and after the portrait was removed by Albert, the old man in his pajamas glared at him unhappily and complained that Albert was disturbing his rest.
"Sorry to interrupt!" Albert apologized to the old man in the portrait and continued walking, feeling that he might be lost again.
This time, though, Albert found the moving staircase.
No matter how many times he watched it, he thought the scene of the moving staircase was spectacular.
It is said that both the moving staircase and the Room of Requirement were the work of Rowena Ravenclaw, and I wonder if I will be able to reach this level in the future.
By the way, would Rowena Ravenclaw hide some secrets in the Room of Requirement?
After all, didn't Slytherin keep a basilisk in his secret room?
Thinking about it, it really makes sense, and the next time you pass by, you can try it out, and maybe you can really dig up some secrets.
It took Albert ten minutes to descend the stairs, and on the way he encountered a change of stairs, so he had to stay where he was and wait for the stairs to return to their original state. Thankfully, he wasn't made to wait too long, and thankfully, no, I should be thankful for Merlin now.
As soon as he entered the foyer, Albert was caught by a cat that was a little thin and had a dark gray coat, and was almost incomparable to his own Tom.
He bent down to shake it, but the cat ran so fast that it was gone.
Albert knew that it was probably Filch's cat, the administrator, and what was its name, Madame. Although he has read the Harry Potter book and watched the movie, after a long time, he can't remember some unimportant things clearly, especially those dragon names.
If it weren't for the fact that I had written about the same people.,I've checked a lot of information.,It's estimated that I'll forget it faster.。
The cat ran away, presumably to call someone, and Albert was not worried that Filch would come to his own trouble.
After all, it's already past six o'clock, and the sky hasn't fully brightened yet, all because it's raining outside.
As Albert was about to enter the Great Hall, there was a clattering sound, and a somewhat elderly Filch walked towards him with an oil lamp.
Albert noticed that Filch was still drowsy, with only a cloak draped over him, and a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, which was the smile of catching his prey.
"Good morning, Mr. Filch. Albert raised his hand to greet him, as if he had met a familiar friend.
"Good morning?" Filch reached out to grab Albert, but he easily backed away.
"Of course, it's 6:15 a.m. by now, Mr. Filch. Albert took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, handed it to Filch, and asked, "When does the hall start to provide food?"
Filch was also stunned, because Albert deliberately moved his wand to his pocket watch so that he could see the time better.
Filch, who originally thought that he had caught the night tour students, suddenly collapsed, like a child who heard that the Halloween banquet was canceled.
In fact, it was already morning, and although it was still dark, no other students had gotten up yet.
"7 o'clock. Filch turned away angrily, leaving a sentence before leaving: "It's better not to let me see ......"
The last few words, Albert didn't hear clearly, weren't important anyway.
But is Filch really hostile to students?
It's a desire to arrest them all and put them in confinement.
Pushing the door open and entering the auditorium, it was very dim, the suspended candles were extinguished, and the lively scene of last night was gone.
Albert turned away, ready to continue exploring the castle's kitchen.
