Hogwarts White Knight

Gawain always felt that wizards always viewed Muggle inventions with an overly arrogant attitude.

Not only are they unwilling to admit it, they even disdain to understand it, but they always want to use them to compare and reflect the greatness and wisdom of the wizards.

Is a broomstick really better than a 747 radio?

Is a fluorescent flashlight more practical than a flashlight?

Is the evil curse better than Katyusha washing the ground?

It is true that in some areas, the power of wizards does have advantages that cannot be surpassed.

But look here, Hogwarts, which is regarded as the core institution of the wizarding world, quietly uses the sewer system from Muggles, and they even hide this modification.

Of course, Gawain didn't want to experience the sewer system in the Middle Ages, especially before the arrival of the Romans.

That would be an absolute nightmare.

"Expelliarmous! (Expelliarmus)"

Gawain stayed far away from the faucet and released a lightly offensive spell. A red light suddenly appeared and fell on the winding little snake.

Nothing happened.

The magic spell struck the faucet, as if it had landed on an invisible wall protected by armor. It disappeared without even causing any ripples.

He had tried many simple spells, but neither "alohomora" nor "flying stones" had any effect.

However, they have already sent a letter to Professor Snape, and I believe he will be here soon.

"Perhaps like Myrtle said, we need to speak a certain code word? A certain language? One that only the Heir of Slytherin knows?"

Hermione crossed out a line on the parchment again.

"Of course, Miss Know-It-All, and Mr. Know-It-All, why don't you spend all your energy on studying potions?"

At some point, Snape had appeared behind them, "Get out of the way, this place is protected by a very strong spell, which cannot be broken by your weak spells."

He held the wand and looked at the faucet cautiously.

"It can't be aggressive."

Snape was quick to judge.

Although the entrance to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets may well be buried here, no one in their right mind would mount a powerful offensive guard on a dragon's head.

This is a school after all.

What if one day a little wizard gets a few pimples on his head and his hair is torn apart by the faucet, and then dies for this stupid reason...

I'm afraid those descendants of Slytherin who worked so hard to hide the Chamber of Secrets will really want to see the person who cast this curse.

The literal kind.

But that doesn't mean it's really safe.

At least Snape could imagine that if he were in charge of this matter, he would definitely fight back fiercely when the dragon head was attacked beyond a certain intensity.

"diffindo!"

With a flick of his wrist, a ray of light shot out.

Its power is undoubtedly much stronger than Gawain's "little tricks", so much so that a milky white barrier appears outside the faucet.

This made Snape feel a little embarrassed.

He does have a more powerful spell, but he cannot judge where the upper limit of this dragon head's resistance is and what kind of counterattack it will launch.

And they couldn't go to Professor Dumbledore.

Lucius Malfoy has already arrived at Hogwarts, and he is probably heading to the cabin next to the Forbidden Forest arrogantly, wanting to "investigate" the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time.

"You said that it may require a specific code word or language to open?"

Snape didn't look back and asked calmly.

"Yes, Professor, Myrtle mentioned

Before she died, she heard someone speaking a very strange language that didn't sound like English or a curse. "

When Gawain mentioned Myrtle, she nodded vigorously, looking excited.

"That might be Parseltongue. It was Salazar Slytherin's specialty, but it has long since disappeared into history. Come on, we can't open this place."

Snape said dryly, turning around to leave.

But he found his cloak being tugged at.

"Mr. White, unless you have something more constructive than myself or Professor Dumbledore, I suggest you go back for lunch."

Snape said with an impatient expression. He did receive a "deposit", but the current problem is no longer something he can solve.

As for refunding the deposit?

Don't even think about it.

"Professor, you should know the repair spell, right?"

But to his surprise, Gawain asked a very baffling question and hoped that he would wait here for a few more minutes.

then...

"boom!"

Professor Snape quickly understood.

——Why did Gawain need him to stay, and why did he specifically ask him if he knew the repair spell?

And the next time someone dares to light a large bag of black powder in front of him, he will give that person a severe curse.

He should have reacted long ago when Gawain dragged him out to wait for a while and told him to be careful.

While Snape was still wondering why Gawain was dragging Hermione so far away, billowing black smoke and huge air waves rushed out of the bathroom.

"protego maxima! (armor protection)"

“silena! (listen with earplugs closed)”

Snape propped up an invisible wall as quickly as he could, and then added a second wall before the first wall crumbled.

At the same time, he also used a silent spell to release the earplugs so that the sound here would not spread and let the whole school know that something big had happened here.

The only thing he was thankful for.

It was Hogwarts Castle that was permanently fortified.

We won't let the second floor and the first floor merge into one floor just because of this stupid explosion!

Although Snape cast several Disappearance Curses in succession to clear the billowing black smoke, it was not until several minutes later that they finally dispersed.

But now the bathroom...

Rather than saying it was a bathroom, it was better to say that it had become a large, dark hole. The complex carvings and exquisite decorations had been turned into a somewhat indescribable mess.

The most conspicuous washstand, as the main target, was blown into many large and small pieces, revealing the dark passage below.

Originally that was where the drainage page should have been.

But now it is empty.

Exactly one-eighth the space of a dresser.

Not big or small.

If this was not the entrance to the secret chamber, then Gawain would definitely not believe it.

Snape stared hard at Gawain and Hermione, who was holding his waist behind him. A minute or two passed without saying a word.

His face looked horribly ugly.

No doubt it was because Gawain had tortured him so much, but he happened to find the entrance to the secret room. This completely ruined the one-stop plan of "deduction of points, confinement, and expulsion" that he originally conceived.

"Hmph! You two, go wait outside."

Snape flicked his robes, walked into the bathroom, and stood in front of the big hole.

His wand pointed into the pit.

“Expecto patronum!

(Calling God for Protection)"
