Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 48 The Missing Knight

Hugo pondered these words carefully, murmured words, and then said after a while: "You just said that when you touched the imprint on my body, you saw me go to the classroom on the seventh floor, opened the door of the classroom, and came into a fog? I don't remember these things, but that's when I saw your eyes twinkle weirdly. Does this mean that the magic the Sorting Hat said about your colored eyes was being able to see those Deprived memory?"

"I'm not sure, because I only saw a fog." Mo Lin shook his head.

Hugo was eager to try, looked around, and then said: "In this case, we have to find out the truth by ourselves, don't we?"

He was in high spirits, feeling that it was no big deal if he got lost and lost his memory once. On the contrary, he took it as an interesting experience, and he would not object to letting him disappear again.

"So who do we start with? Mosby is from Hufflepuff, Delia is from Ravenclaw, and we don't talk to them much, so let's start with Jamie! Or our dormitory Mysterious Man?"

Hugo has already given Sweet a name on the way, just like 20 years ago, everyone dared not call Voldemort by his real name, but called Voldemort "mysterious man".

"Don't call him that. Many people don't like the word Mysterious Man," Mo Lin said.

They left the hall, went to the corridor on the seventh floor, and checked the classroom carefully again, but the classroom was the same as the last time Maureen came here, except for the foul language written by Peeves on the blackboard, there was no difference .

"I don't understand why this classroom was covered in fog when you opened it last time, but it was just an ordinary classroom when I opened it. Do you feel anything familiar?" Mo Lin walked around the classroom , did not see the unusual place.

"At one point, I felt a familiar chill, like the mark of the Deathly Hallows, but I don't know where this chill came from. It seemed to fill this classroom, but it seemed to be absent. If this room If there is magic in the classroom, it should be able to leave traces, as Professor Francis said last time, no matter how superb and concealed magic is, it will leave traces."

Hugo was stupefied in all the courses, but the theoretical knowledge of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was solid. Professor Francis' teaching method of death threats was very useful, and Hugo listened to it a lot.

He touched the wall and checked all the cracks in the corners of the classroom, but this search method was useless, at most he could find a few spiders and chalk ends thrown by Peeves in the corners.

"It's a pity we don't know enough about magic."

After searching for 10 minutes, Hugo reluctantly chose to give up. They were just first-year freshmen. It was basically impossible to find traces of magic, and they were not experienced enough.

Mo Lin also felt that something was wrong. He didn't feel the chill that Hugo said, but he found that he seemed to have forgotten something on the way here.

Then Maureen reacted immediately.

"Yes! Sir Cadogan!"

Maureen opened the door of the classroom, ran towards the portraits hanging in the corridor, and came to the place where the portrait of Sir Cadogan was hung, but it had been replaced by an oil painting of the college's Quidditch match.

"What's wrong? What clues did you find?" Hugo followed up and asked.

"Sir Cadogan! His portrait is gone. I saw his portrait in this place the day before yesterday, but it is gone today."

Mo Lin looked for all the portraits in the corridor on the seventh floor, but he couldn't find the crazy but enthusiastic knight.

"Did someone move his portrait back? Is it the tower where Professor Trelawney is?" Hugo asked.

"Go and see! Just try to recall, what's weird about the tower." Molin turned a corner and ran towards the north tower of Hogwarts.

Because it was the weekend, they didn't have to be as cautious as they were at night, so they arrived at the west tower after running for about ten minutes.Maureen stopped at the place where Sir Cadogan brought him last time.

The last time Professor Trelawney walked up to the platform where Sir Cadogan's portrait was, and looked at the night and said something strange. According to Sir Cadogan's words, the wall on the platform was originally where his paintings were hung, but It was also empty here.

Sir Cadogan's portrait is not here!
"You said that crazy knight would not be murdered because he knew something?" Hugo looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Murder? He's a painting, forget?" Morin said.

"That's right, the people in the paintings can visit each other. It's not easy to murder a person in a painting. He can take refuge in other paintings. But not necessarily, if there are no other paintings around the unlucky guy to hide from If so, the person in the painting can be burned to death." Hugo guessed.

What Hugo said is also possible. The people in the painting can visit other paintings at will, but the premise is that there are other paintings next to their portraits that can be used as moving bridges.

If someone threw Sir Cadogan's portrait into a place where there were no portraits while Sir Cadogan was out for a stroll, once Sir Cadogan returned to his frame from other paintings in an instant, he would not be able to escape. Lost.

"Let's not think about it for now. Last time you said that you were in the tower one second and you were on the seventh floor the next second. Is that the tower?" Mo Lin asked.

Hugo frowned, recalled for a moment, and shook his head: "I'm not sure, I only saw the spiral staircase and some windows, but the tower of Gryffindor is also like this, isn't it?"

Mo Lin climbed up the winding stairs and carefully looked at the surrounding landscape paintings, most of which were fruit portraits and landscape depictions, as well as some ancient buildings.

Hugo pointed to a painting and said: "I have heard of this ancient Roman Colosseum. It is very famous in the history of Quidditch competitions. There was a Quidditch session held here, which could accommodate [-] wizards. Two years ago I’ve also visited here with my family.”

Mo Lin walked over and glanced at the words of the ancient Roman Colosseum hanging on the wall. The circular classical building has an extremely artistic atmosphere, but it is a pity that half of it has been destroyed.

It is recorded that the 99th Quidditch match was held in the Colosseum. At that time, in order to hold this grand event, countless Muggle expulsion spells were set up around the Colosseum. Later, after the game, Excited fans celebrated with a blast spell, blowing up the Colosseum.

This incident caused a great commotion at the time. Wizards requisitioned the Muggle venue for the competition originally for convenience, but due to poor supervision after the competition, the ancient Roman Colosseum was destroyed, and because of some turmoil, it was not repaired in time , After the Muggles learned about it, it was too late to repair it. In the end, in order to cover up, they could only send false news to the Muggles, explaining that it was the damage caused by the earthquake.

"I heard that the Colosseum used to be used by Muggles for competitions between man and beast. Muggles are really cruel. Look, there is a horse grazing next to it! No one wants to fight with this fat dwarf. Horse duel?" Hugo said with great interest.

But Maureen looked at the pony grazing on the grass next to the Colosseum in surprise, and said, "This is Sir Cadogan's horse!"
