Chapter 30: The Secret Passage That Can't Be Found

As he left the hospital, Professor Slughorn gave him a vicious look at Claude and Ralph, causing them to shrink their heads.

After the course, Professor Slughorn specially left these four people behind and specially told them that the next time they refine a potion that is not in the book, they must show it to him first, and don't eat it indiscriminately!

As a professor who has read countless people, he knows that it is useless to stop them, and it is easy to backfire, without the following restrictions.

Then, with an undisguised preference, the professor took out a notebook, handed it to Daniel, and told him that he had asked for it from a Slytherin senior.

The senior's talent for potions is also amazing, and the professor wants them to communicate more and learn from each other's strengths.

The professor also pointed out that although Daniel was perfect in timing control, he still needed to put more effort into the processing of medicinal materials, and that senior happened to be very good at this and had already improved a lot of techniques.

"Favoritism, naked favoritism!"

After leaving, William complained on the road.

"If you have a potions talent like Daniel, the professor will definitely look at you differently." Claude scolded him.

"Hmph~"

A few of them went to finish their meal first, and then went to the library to finish their homework for the day, except for William, almost no one in their dormitory thought of piling up their homework in the back and doing it together.

"Do you have any arrangements?" After returning to the dorm room and throwing things down, Ralph asked.

"Nope." The three shook their heads.

"You don't read anymore?" William asked.

"Don't look at it, I want to combine work and rest, I'm going to find a secret passage, are you together?" Ralph asked.

"Secret passage?" William excitedly asked, "Where does it lead?" ”

"The Pig's Head Bar, the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade Village." Ralph said.

At this point, all three of them were attracted.

Hogsmeade! There was no one present who did not look forward to it, except for the "villager" Ralph.

Next, the three of them left the dormitory, went to the eighth floor, and searched for it.

During this period, Ralph also showed them Aberforth's "opening gift", and everyone looked at Ralph with envy, and there were "parents" who encouraged their children to violate the school rules and secretly went home to think of a way, and there was more than one.

They were most interested in the passage behind the statue of the One-Eyed Witch on the fourth floor, which led to Duke Honey's candy shop, and they were intrigued by Ralph's delicious and strange sweets.

Of course, the job at hand was to help Ralph find the passage to the pig's head bar on the eighth floor, which was next to a tapestry.

Soon, they came to the tapestry of "Troll Stick Beating Stupid Barnabas", and after admiring the scene of the troll beating Barnabas with a big stick for a while, they began to look for it.

In the evening, although magic torches hung in the tall hallway, it was still quite dark.

Ralph used the [Illumination Charm] to release 4 bright and soft clusters of light, 1 on the palm of his hand, and the other 3 for William to catch with his wand.

In this way, one holding a shining palm and three holding a glowing wand with the tip of a wand searched inch by inch near the tapestry.

After a while, they got together, looked at each other, and found that the other had found nothing.

After discussing it, they switched positions and continued to investigate, and Ralph also used some detection spells, such as the [Manifestation Charm].

However, nothing was found.

Like William and the others, Ralph wondered if Aberforth was lying to himself.

He gathered his roommates together, raised his wand, and a little in the air, a large cloud of clear water appeared out of thin air, and then lightly touched the water balloon again, and the water ball exploded, turning into a film of water that covered the surrounding walls.

Ralph closed his eyes, carefully perceiving the change in the flow of water, but was still disappointed, except for finding the location of the sewers, everything was the same.

William, on the other hand, admired it all in amazement.

"Good evening, gentlemen, are you clearing the hallway? Very beautiful [Water-making Spell]. A soft, soft voice reached everyone's ears.

Ralph was startled, his hand shook, and the water film lost control and fell violently.

Our headmaster is also old and strong, and he is as sharp as he was then, and with a wave of his wand, all the water gathers in front of him.

"Headmaster, the sewers are over there." Looking at Headmaster Dumbledore, who was frowning and didn't know how to solve the mess, Ralph said carefully.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Alvi." Dumbledore raised his white eyebrows and said, the balloon of water automatically flowed down the sewer, and finally it all submerged.

......

"Hmm~ scared me to death, didn't the principal walk without a sound?" After returning to the dormitory, William complained, and everyone nodded, especially Daniel, who was already timid, and his face was white at that time.

"It's true that the principal is standing there, and the sense of oppression is so strong that it always makes me feel like I've violated the school rules." Claude said.

"yes, yes. But the principal was also very nice, and like the dean, he invited us to eat candy. Daniel said.

"Well, that's good." Ralph nodded, in his eyes, Headmaster Dumbledore's deterrent power was very strong, and he couldn't help but think about confronting him.

However, they have a very good attitude, they are very kind, and they are old, and they are still the brother of Ariana and Aberforth, and Ralph will not do anything to him.

After all, he was just a lonely old man who couldn't find a home now.

In the dream, he already knew the reason why Aberforth didn't want to see him.

"It's there, why can't you find it?" A few people chatted.

After leaving the principal's office, at Claude's suggestion, Ralph used his skills on the train, wand divination.

But as it turned out, the secret passage was just across from the tapestry of "Troll Stick Beats Silly Barnabas", whether it was coming from the right or from the left.

This puzzled them, is there any special way?

During this period, Claude said: "Could it be that the magic of the castle is too strong to affect divination; Or maybe the castle itself was inscribed with an [anti-divination charm], you must know that Hogwarts was founded to protect and pass on the wizarding community, maybe there is this kind of magic? ”

After thinking about it for a while, everyone gave up, and this is not something that these little wizards with shallow knowledge should consider.

The time was almost up, the curfew had already begun, and with a flick of his wand towards the ceiling, Ralph raised a sparkling blue flame in the bedroom for everyone to light up and wash.

The scene was really beautiful, Daniel looked at the flames floating in the air, the tongue of fire swaying, as if swaying his waist, he seemed to remember the name of this flame - [Blue Enchantress].

As the flames were extinguished one by one, the bedroom fell into a dark silence.

Ralph did not return to the Forbidden Forest, and slept soundly in bed.

It's like a fog, and a dream arises.
