Learn Magic at Hogwarts

Filch was patrolling the second floor. After Noah came to the second floor, he decisively stepped on the detection magic to go up to the third floor. Carefully avoiding all the magic on the stairs, he found the right staircase and went up to the third floor.

This castle is full of secret passages. For example, there are many areas in the dungeon that cannot be accessed from the dungeon, and must be reached from other floors.

On the second floor, Noah only found four secret passages leading to unknown directions.

I haven't had a chance to explore it since then.

But Filch was on the second floor, obviously not suitable for exploring now.

Noah didn't take classes on the third floor, but he knew that the office of their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was on this floor.

After cautiously looking at the corridor and confirming that there was no professor nearby, Noah stepped onto the third floor.

The interior of the castle is larger than it looks from the outside, and the corridors are well reflected.

There are multiple corridors on each floor here, and there are even more paintings or tapestries.

And these things hanging on the wall are often the best places to hide at secret passages.

Noah on the second floor discovered this.

Because of the four secret passages he found on the second floor, two were behind the portraits, one was behind the tapestry, and the last one was a wall disguised as a fake door.The last requirement obviously required a password, but Noah hadn't cracked the correct password yet.

Noah noticed a secret passage in the first corridor on the third floor.

It's behind a portrait of a character.

In the portrait is a girl sitting on a single chair, she is sleeping soundly with her head slightly lowered, breathing a little from time to time, she looks delicate and lovely.

But Noah glanced at the portrait in the portrait indifferently, then raised his hand and pressed tentatively to the frame of the portrait.

He wanted to see if the portrait could be removed.

The secret passage is behind the portrait, and it doesn't look like it has magic.

Sure enough, he pushed the portrait slightly, and the sleeping girl inside was jolted by the shaking of the portrait for a moment, but she slept soundly, so she just adjusted her posture and smacked her lips, continuing to sleep soundly.

Noah tilted his head slightly, and simply took out his wand.

The Levitation Charm was firmly applied to the portrait, allowing the portrait to come off the wall without any bumps, revealing the small door behind it.

Noah entered, and the portrait hung smoothly again, covering his tracks.

This corridor is very narrow and a bit low. With Noah's current height, he only needs to raise his hand to reach the top of the secret passage.

An adult might have to bend over.

Keya poked his head out impatiently. As a snake, he could get a rough idea of ​​this place without using his eyesight.

This is a one-way passage with no forks, but it's not a straight road, but has several turns and turns. If Noah hadn't activated the detection magic, he might have been stunned by this road.

After walking for about 10 minutes, he finally lost his way.

Noah groped at the end and found a wooden door.

After detecting that there was another portrait at the other end of the wooden door, he skillfully used the floating spell to remove the portrait, and walked out of the secret passage without disturbing the picture.

After looking at this corridor, he is already on the fourth floor at the moment, and the secret passage is the passage from the third floor to the fourth floor.

Noah glanced at the door next to him, and found a statue of a humpbacked witch next door.

Very well, there is also a secret passage behind this statue, but this secret passage requires a password to remove the statue.

Noah wanted to try to break the magic in the statue.

He walked up to the statue and looked at the witch carefully. It was a one-eyed witch, very tall, and her name was engraved under the statue—Gonsida of Cosmo.

Noah remembered the name, and she was recorded in the history of magic textbooks for discovering a cure for dragon pox.

Noah narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and tentatively touched the stone statue

Just as he was about to detect the magic on the stone statue, a small sound came from the other end of the corridor.

Noah paused, frowned and looked towards the source of the voice.

It wasn't Filch's footsteps, but two footsteps that had been deliberately muted.

However, the two were trotting, no matter how lightly they deliberately relaxed, there would be a lot of noise.

Keya judged the identity of the person earlier than him.

It's the Weasley twins.

The two started the night tour again without a long memory.

After thinking for a while, Noah hid beside the statue, and used the tall statue to cover his body. At the same time, his figure was slightly invisible, as if blending into the shadow, it was difficult to be noticed.

This is a kind of magic that hides in the shadows, not the kind of advanced magic that blends into the shadows, but a hidden magic that hides itself in the shadows and becomes difficult to be found.

The magic power required is not high, and it doesn't even need to draw a magic circle. It is a fairly simple magic.

It's so simple...that it can be used to hide and seek.Because it is not completely concealed, once it moves or is touched or loses the shelter of the shadow, it will reveal its identity in minutes.

However, it is enough for Noah to successfully hide himself here.

The Weasley twins came running from the other end of the corridor, sniggering as if they were enjoying themselves.

The two hurried past the witch statue, not noticing Noah hiding in the shadows, purposefully walked through this corridor, and turned into another corridor.

Noah bet that the two must have discovered some special secret passage, so they went to explore it tonight.

After the sound of the two footsteps disappeared, Noah walked out of the shadows. He glanced at the direction in which the two disappeared, but he didn't intend to follow. Instead, he turned his head and continued to study the statue.

Soon he found some traces of magic in the statue's hunched back.

The entry should be here, but what's the password?

Noah thought for a while, then patted Keya: "I leave it to you."

Keya spat out the snake letter and made a "hissing" sound, responding to his words.

Now that Noah wants to use more conspicuous magic, Koya needs to be on guard.

Snakes are still unique in detection, not to mention that Keya is not an ordinary snake, so it is best to be alert to whether there are people approaching around.

Noah slightly raised his hand and pressed it on the stone statue.

"Probe."

A blue magic formation unfolded under his feet. The complicated magic formation was somewhat similar to the one he stepped on before, but the difference was that there were four layers of circular formations wrapped around the triangular formation, and five layers of circles. Each of the arrays rotates slowly and alternately at the same speed, which looks like a gear.

"Analysis."

The magic circle slowly began to rise upwards, passed through his and the statue's legs, and continued to rise upwards.

As the magic circle passed by, special runes appeared in Noah's eyes, which were analyzed by the detection magic.

Soon the magic circle rose to the witch's hunchback and stopped suddenly. Noah's eyes drooped slightly, the runes in his eyes flashed, and disappeared together with the magic circle.
