I was expelled from Hogwarts?

Wizards will draw their own portraits during their lifetime, and take them with them to teach them by precepts and deeds, imparting various useful memories and knowledge to the portraits.

Therefore, to a certain extent, portraits, like ghosts, are a kind of imprint of wizards living in this world, and they are also a continuation after death.

Other humanoids do not have the habit and ability to draw portraits, but Hufflepuff's assistant, Hodor the house elf, is an exception, and it has its own portrait.

On the night he entered Hogwarts that year, Rove saw Hodor's portrait in the lounge of Hufflepuff College, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.

Later, in Nicol's Book of Abraham, Rove saw four prophetic paintings related to himself.

The fourth of these shows a house-elf polishing a tiny gold cup.

Rove has been obsessed with the house-elf ever since, trying to find him and find out about Hufflepuff.

It's just that most of the portraits have many frames that can be shuttled back and forth, so that Rove has no chance to meet this house elf again.

Unexpectedly, it showed up today and brought such bad news:

Someone is trying to get into Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets!

The four giants all have secret rooms, which are said to be secret rooms, or more accurately, the places where the four giants study magic.

And there are passages in the four rooms for them to meet and exchange magic experiences.

Rove has been in the chambers of Slytherin and Ravenclaw, but not Hufflepuff.

Since it was about Hufflepuff's secret room, Rove stood up, walked to the picture frame, and asked:

Is there an entrance to the chamber here?

Yes! Hodor said, You tap the golden cup in the painting with your wand, and the password is the same as the Hufflepuff lounge.

Rove nodded, and said softly, Shirley, use the patron saint to report to Dumbledore and tell him to come right away.

The girl with ponytail hummed, raised her wand and said, Call God to protect you!

From the end of the wand, a dazzling silver unicorn emerged, and it landed beside Shirley. She whispered a few words, and the unicorn happily passed through the wall and galloped away. .

Hermione raised her eyebrows. Shirley, have you mastered how to make the patron saint speak?

In addition to being able to expel dark creatures, the patron saint also has another purpose, which is to allow the patron saint to transmit information and speak in the voice of the caster.

But this method is only mastered by a few people.

Yes. Shirley smiled and said, I learned from Rove.

Teach me later. Hermione said, pulling the girl with ponytails by the hand.

Furong on the side was secretly startled. She didn't expect Xueli to be able to summon a physical patron saint at this age. This magic is something that many adult wizards don't know.

She heard Hermione asked Shirley to teach her how to make the Patronus speak. Could it be that even Hermione knew the Patronus Charm?

Is this Hogwarts?

So scary!

Rove stood beside the picture frame, and instead of knocking on the gold cup in a hurry, he lowered his voice and said, Ado, do you still remember me?

Of course, Mr. Scamander. The old house elf looked at Rove, bowed his body, and said with a smile on his face:

The night you entered school three years ago, I was waiting for you in the Hufflepuff lounge, but you didn't know me at that time, so I didn't say hello.

Rove snorted. It turned out that the meeting was not a coincidence. He thought for a while and asked:

I've been looking for you for a long time, but you always don't show up. Where have you been?

Rove has been looking for Hodor, and he even found Hufflepuff's descendant Hepzibah Smith, who has a portrait of Hufflepuff and Hodor at home.

But after Hepziba Smith was killed by Tom, all the things in Smith's old house were sold to Borgin-Bock shop.

When Rove was investigating the whereabouts of the portraits in the old house, Bo Jin was unwilling to speak out, and the clues were interrupted.

Rove had wanted Dumbledore and Nicole to help him go to Borgin, but he was busy all the time, so the matter was delayed.

But since I met Hoduo, it would be good to ask him directly.

I've been staying in another frame, guarding Hufflepuff's cup, Hodor said. If you find the cup, you'll find me.

Rove narrowed his eyes, so that was the case.

No wonder it was Bellatrix Lestrange who bought the portrait and put it in her vault, no wonder Borgin didn't want to talk about it.

Mr. Scamander, remember, the gold cup is very important. Hodor reminded: You must find it in order to get what Professor Hufflepuff left for you.

Is that so? Rove nodded. He raised his wand and tapped the golden cup in the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuff.

The fireplace beneath the portrait suddenly turned into the wall and moved around a central pivot like a revolving door.

There was a huge room behind the fireplace. Rove walked in and was stunned. Shirley, Hermione, and Fleur, who followed closely, were also shocked by the scene in front of them.

This is not so much the entrance to the secret room, but rather a... wine cellar!

There are many wines on the long wine racks, and the rows of wine bottles extend directly into the darkness.

Rove picked up a bottle of wine and looked at the label. The number said 95, indicating the year of production, but instead of 1895, it was 895.

These wines have a history of a thousand years!

Look at this, there is also the coat of arms of the Capet dynasty with golden irises on a blue background. Hermione also picked up a wine bottle, and said in amazement:

The Capetian dynasty ended in AD 1328.

Everyone seemed shocked. A random bottle of wine here is priceless.

However, wine is not as old as possible, and most wines are not suitable for more than 5 years.

Only those top wines can experience the baptism of wind and frost for hundreds of years.

The oldest wines known to be auctioned in the world are: 1774 Jura rice wine, 1811 and 1787 noble rot sweet white wines from Château Dijin...It is only more than 200 years ago.

The wine left by Hufflepuff has an astonishing thousand-year history.

These are cultural relics, not wine!

However, Rove could feel that the bottles were protected by magic, so they should still be drinkable.

It seems that Hufflepuff has worked hard to preserve the wine.

Wait... The other three co-authors of the Big Four are all studying magic in the secret room, so Hufflepuff is here to study sauce-flavored and strong-flavored types? !

As expected of you, Hufflepuff!

Several people continued to walk forward, and at the end of the room, a spiral staircase appeared.

Rove took the three girls into the spiral staircase, and it began to move down slowly, just like the stairs in the principal's office.

When the stairs stopped, a corridor appeared in front of them.

As soon as Rove stepped out of the stairs, he saw a huge griffin flying towards him.
