Online Games: Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 4 Opening of Special Instance - Secret Room

In just a split second, Rosie's figure disappeared from the surrounding green light produced by the Killing Curse.

Immediately afterwards, she was placed in a vast white space, but she had already brushed through many daily dungeons, and she was not at all uncomfortable with this state of standing on the ground.

"Phew! You narrowly escaped death!"

After taking a long breath, Rossi checked his current physical condition and the equipment in his backpack, and then quietly watched the timer on the system panel counting down the seconds.

A few seconds later, as the space scene was loaded, the mechanical sound of the system came as expected:

[The dungeon scene is generated, the AI ​​is invoking...

Identity of the dungeon: Trainee Detective of the Ministry of Magic (please check the mission panel for details).

Task [-]: Enter the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Mission Two: Find out the truth behind the Hogwarts attack.

Mission Three: Save Ginny. 】

As the sound of the system fell, Rossi was already in a train carriage that was about to arrive at the station.

Looking through the window to observe the surrounding environment, and then lingering in the interior of the carriage for a while, Rosie, who made sure that she was on the Hogwarts Express at this time, was not in a hurry to get off the train, but silently The task panel is opened.

After confirming the three tasks of the dungeon again, she clicked on the detailed instructions on the identity of the dungeon user, and read them carefully several times:
[It was rumored that the chamber of secrets in Hogwarts was opened again, and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic planned to send people to Hogwarts to investigate. Under the interference of interested people, they decided to send the trainee agent Rosie who was closest to Hogwarts first. Go to investigate...]

"The Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts has been opened again. This should refer to "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", that's right!" Rosie rested her chin lightly with her right hand, thinking silently, "Who cares? Someone is stopping it." The Ministry of Magic found out the truth about the Chamber of Secrets? Could this be the Lucius Malfoy in the movie who slipped Voldemort's Horcrux into Ginny's textbook?"

"I hope the plot of this dungeon is the same as the one I saw in the movie before time travel, so that I can easily clear this dungeon!"

After praying a few words secretly, Rossi stood up from the seat, straightened the wrinkled cotton linen clothes on her body due to sitting for a long time, and then walked slowly towards the car door.

When the train came to a complete stop and the heavy carriage door was slowly opened, she just came near the door after estimating the approximate time.

Before getting off the train, Rosie's line of sight was occupied by the lush plants beside the platform wall of Hogsmeade Station. It was clearly winter, but these plants that were afraid of the cold were still blooming like summer.

In the game, Hogsmeade Village is a novice village. Thanks to the convenience of the forum, Rosie, who was born in Godric's Hollow, has also seen some pictures and videos about this village. , but it was the first time she came to this place.

"Sure enough, a village made up entirely of wizards is more magical than a half-wizard, half-Muggle settlement."

Looking at the elves active in the flowers, Rossi muttered softly, and turned his gaze to the half-blood giant sitting on the platform bench, over three meters in size, wearing an oversized fur coat.

Seeing that Rossi's eyes turned to him, the ferocious half-blood giant whose head was covered in hair showed a somewhat reserved expression on his face. He slowly stood up from his seat and said in his voice. With some nervousness, he asked:
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Rossi?"

After that, he continued as if he remembered something:

"I'm Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, and Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to pick you up."

Rossi couldn't help being surprised by the NPC's initiative to talk.After spending hundreds of hours in this game, she has never seen an NPC who would take the initiative to talk to the player.

"At the beginning, the AI ​​call reported by the system meant this. He confirmed his identity to me, is it a polite way to open the topic?"

While thinking, Rossi took out the trainee agent's certificate from the system's inventory and handed it to Hagrid. After the other party took the certificate and looked it over, he spoke again:
"Hello, I'm Rosie, a trainee agent from the Ministry of Magic. I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Apprentice agent..." Hagrid repeated in a low voice, his expression relaxed visibly.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Agent Rosie." He forced a smile on his face as he spoke.

"Thank you!"

Rossi thanked politely, and then said:

"Hogwarts is also a place where I dreamed of coming when I was a child. It is a kind of luck to be able to go there in person now."

Hearing what Rossi said, Hagrid showed a bit of pride on his face, and his expression became more relaxed. He shook his head slightly and boasted with a smile:
"Hogwarts is the best wizarding school in the wizarding world!"

Rossi nodded in agreement, and then asked:

"Principal Dumbledore must have told you the purpose of my trip. I don't know what's going on inside Hogwarts? Have any students been harmed?"

But it was asking the other party's side to see what stage the story of the dungeon has developed.

Hearing Rosie talk about the business, Hagrid first glanced at her quietly, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction outside the station:
"Shall we talk while walking?"

……

Following Hagrid, Rosie quickly walked out of Hogsmeade Station and got into a carriage pulled by an invisible creature that was parked by the side of the road.

"It is rumored that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has been opened." Hagrid, who was sitting next to Rosie, said slowly, "Mrs. Norris was petrified because of this, which caused a lot of panic among the students..."

While listening to Hagrid's explanation, Rosie looked at the invisible animal caught between the poles of the carriage ahead, trying to see clearly the legendary creature that could only be seen after death.

"However, this incident may be just a prank. After all, after the secret chamber was opened last time, there was no such thing as students being petrified." Hagrid continued.

"A prank?" Rossi stopped his futile attempts, turned his gaze to the half-blood giant beside him, and said quietly after staring at him for a moment, "Once this kind of prank is discovered, it will definitely be sent to Azkaban, I don't think any normal person would do that."

"Uh……"

Hagrid was dumbfounded for a moment, his eyes glanced to one side unnaturally, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head to look at Rosie,

"This requires you as an agent to investigate clearly."

"Of course, that's my job."

Rossi replied with a smile, then leaned heavily on the cashmere cushion behind her, closed her eyes seemingly relaxed, but her brain was running fast:
"He seems to be worried about something, and he seems to want to hide something... Is he worried that I will regard him as a suspect? Or is there another twist in this game?"

"Mr. Hagrid..." Rosie spoke again with half-closed eyes while his thoughts were racing, and he said in as soft a tone as possible after Hagrid heard the voice and turned his eyes, "I heard that many years ago, When Mr. Hagrid was a student, he was expelled from Hogwarts for the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets? So, did you open the Chamber of Secrets?"

Hearing Rossi's question, Hagrid immediately sat up straight unnaturally, and couldn't help but tighten his right hand holding the umbrella, and the rough face showed a tense expression again:

"It's not me! I haven't opened the secret room!"
