Chapter 88 The New Secret Path
John ducked into a dimly lit corridor.

There was no one in front of him, but the footsteps behind him were getting closer.

Seeing that Professor Snape and Quirrell were about to catch up.

But there was still a long way to go to the secret path that John knew, and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered at this moment.

"This way."

The haggard blood man Baro, covered in silver blood, floated out from the side wall like a hero.

Even his hoarse voice was like fairy music in John's ears.

John looked in the direction the bloody Baron was pointing at. The corridor could lead to the classroom where the class was held.

But it will be farther and farther away from the tower of Ravenclaw, and as far as John knows, there seems to be no secret passage along the way.

John hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe in the bloody Baron.

Although I don't know why Barrow appeared, but as a silent and cold ghost, it's impossible for him to suddenly play tricks today and come here to play tricks on him, right?
It's unreasonable both emotionally and rationally!
John followed Baro and ran forward at high speed.

When I was about to go up the stairs, there stood a statue of a guard in armor and holding a giant sword in both hands beside the corridor.

"Go to the back of the statue, there is a secret passage!" Bloody Baro whispered.

John raised his eyebrows in surprise, this secret passage was not shown on the Marauder's map.

But he was not too surprised, after all, these ghosts lived in the castle without knowing it for many years.

They are very familiar with every brick and tile here.

It is also a matter of course to know a secret path that is not known to the public.

Following the instructions of the bloody Baro, John bent down and got into the back of the statue, shrouded in shadow and asked in a low voice: "And then? How to open the secret passage?"

"Hold the armor on the left leg of the statue, and turn it around to the right."

John nodded quickly, clasped the soldier's thigh with both hands, and pushed hard to the right.

There was a series of clicking sounds, and there was a slight gap between the armor on the left leg of the statue and other areas. With John's movement, it turned around and returned to its original position.

Just as John let go, he heard the sound of bricks sliding behind him.

At this time, footsteps have appeared in the distance.

It's just that John is in a dark area, and Professor Snape and Quirrell should not be able to see him.

John quickly got into the secret passage, and the entrance wall was immediately sealed. He leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh of relief.

What a thrill tonight.

First, I ran into the taboo scene between Snape and Professor Quirrell.

Then Voldemort listened to the hoarse jade voice, and finally there was a life and death escape.

If I told Fred and George tomorrow, they would probably yell how cool it was, and then criticize John for not bringing them to play.

Those two people's thinking is not normal, and they will always find fun in things that others think are dangerous.

John stopped thinking, looked around, and wanted to thank the bloody Baro.

Without Barrow's help, it would be difficult for him to escape the joint pursuit of Professor Snape and Quirrell today.

But after looking around, John didn't find the figure of the bloody Baro.

It seems that he didn't come in together at all just now, but left directly.

It seems that we can only say thank you next time we meet.

John waved his wand, and a bright light appeared on the tip of the wand.

The dim corridor was shrouded in light.

Under the strong light, countless bugs of various types quickly slipped into the gaps by the wall, hiding their small bodies.

This secret road has not been visited for many years, and it has become a happy hometown for bugs.

Unknown bugs built nests of various shapes in the corners.

Spiders pulled all kinds of dense cobwebs in all directions in the center of the passage.

It's a pity that they met the bully John today. With a wave of his wand, a gust of wind swept forward.

The entire corridor suddenly became spotless.

forgive me.
John walked forward apologetically, his eyes cautiously wandering through the gaps.

He was afraid that those spiders and insects would be overwhelmed, so they all rushed out, relying on their numbers to attack him in groups.

Although it may not cause much damage, it is definitely infiltrating enough to look at.

Thinking of that scene, John's scalp was numb, and he couldn't help speeding up his pace.

The secret road is long and tortuous, turning a corner from time to time, and sometimes even needs to cross a big pit, which is very difficult to walk.

And judging by the terrain, he should have been going down, but he didn't know where it led.

About ten minutes or so, there was a sudden noisy sound in the distance, and it seemed that there was more than one person.

John extinguished the light ball on the tip of the wand, held the wand tightly and walked forward cautiously.

The exit was low and narrow, but as he walked through it, the bricks on both sides slid to form an archway as tall as a man.

John stepped out cautiously, looking around.

I came to the kitchen?

A chandelier on the ceiling flickered on and off.

Several long tables were lined with pots and pans and all kinds of food.

He is quite familiar with this scene, and he did not know how many times he sneaked here with Fred and George this semester.

John looked back to see where he had come out.

It is a fireplace, which has been restored to its original shape at this time.

He highlighted the hallway in his mind.

Not only is it hidden, but the places it leads to are also very useful.

If Filch cornered them in the kitchen, they could escape through the secret passage.

You can come to the kitchen from the outside, and the positions of the exit and entrance are very far apart.

Both sides can easily escape.

"Is there anything you need?"

A house elf wearing a pillowcase with a face like dry bark cautiously leaned out from behind the table and asked humbly.

John and the others came to the kitchen to steal food before, all of which were his services.

"No, I'll just pass by." John finished with a smile and walked towards the kitchen door.

While holding the doorknob, John suddenly stopped moving. He turned his head and asked, "By the way, how are you thinking about that matter?"

The house-elf seemed to have remembered something terrible. His body trembled in horror, leaning against the table legs tightly, his eyes widened vigorously, and the surrounding skin stretched a lot.

"No, no, we can't do that kind of thing."

John sighed, shrugged and opened the kitchen door.

It seems that we still have to take our time.

He originally wanted to invite these house elves to be the special chefs of the food court
But these house-elves are stubborn and fearful.

They are used to this kind of life of hiding in the dark and serving everyone, and they dare not go to the front of the stage.

Although they can also provide food for the food street in the kitchen, without the on-site frying link, the fireworks are much worse, not quite like a food street.

John figured he'd have to think of other ways to untangle the house-elves in the future and get them out of the kitchen and into the light.

It can also let the students of Hogwarts know more about these heroes hidden behind the scenes.
