A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

Yunieff observed the snake statue and found that the edge of the back of the cobra's head could slide slightly.

He retracted his finger, looked at Hilliard, and asked, "Is it okay?"

Hilliard praised: "Okay, it's awesome. This secret door is much more difficult than the one in the kitchen. I found out the clues by looking up a very old book. Did you detect the secret door through touch?" "

"Not exactly tactile, but almost." Yunieff said, "If we don't go in first, wouldn't it be bad if someone bumps into us?"

Hilliard said: "Then go in first, although few people come to this corner."

Entering the doorway, there is a narrow staircase leading to a higher place.

There is also a snake statue at the top of the stairs. Hilliard touches the edge of the back of its head and slides it gently, and the wall automatically closes.

Black bridal midwinter.

"Lumos." Hilliard cast an illuminating spell, the wand glowed faintly, and led Yunieff upwards.

On both sides of the stairs are gloomy portraits, but none of them move. The eyes are painted lifeless without any light.

He introduced: "This staircase should have been built by people from Slytherin, but currently only Margaret and I know about it. Well, now there is one more of you, and the number of people is three. I don't know what will happen." "

It can be seen that he is really superstitious about the number three.

He continued: "Follow this secret passage and go straight up to the divination classroom on the eighth floor. When we get there, we have to be careful. Professor Trelawney is very sensitive and can hear even the smallest movement, especially Lilawney is the professor of divination."

"After that, walk a few more corridors and you'll be near the magical room I told you about."

Listening to Hilliard's description, Yunieff became more and more convinced that the magical room he mentioned should be the Room of Requirement.

Because he remembered that in the movie, Neville discovered the Room of Requirement when he left the Gryffindor common room and walked around the same floor, and the Gryffindor common room was on the eighth floor.

They walked all the way up for a full seven or eight minutes. Although there were many turns, there were such gloomy portraits along the way, and there were no labels on them.

Yunieff couldn't help but ask: "Who are the people painted on it?"

Hilliard did not look back. It was quite dangerous to turn back on such stairs. It might cause the two of them to fall down together: "I'm not particularly sure, but it should be related to the dark wizard."

He put his wand close to the portrait, and the faint light illuminated the pale face of the wizard above, and said: "I have studied it for a while, but I can only recognize three."

"Eddie Franks, destroy a village."

"Tris Rich, throwing poison in the city."

"William Arondale, for cruel human research."

"They are all well-known villains in the history of magic, so I speculate that the owners of the other portraits are not good people. I just don't know why they are here, but it is best not to touch them."

While talking, I finally reached the top of the stairs. It was almost the same mechanism, except that the rotating part became the tail of a snake.

Walking out of the doorway is also a remote corner.

Hilliard in front and Eunifer behind, walked quickly through the corridor, and because it was not curfew time, they encountered several Gryffindors who were still wandering outside.

Union recognized Fred and George among them, but Hilliard stayed away from them.

"You don't seem to like them very much?" Yunieff asked.

"A bit."

"Is there any misunderstanding? They are all pretty good people." Yunieff said.

"It's not a misunderstanding, just a lack of compatibility. Last year, I met these two brothers by chance in a secret passage. They started with two big dung eggs." Hilliard said with a cold face, "That's fine, but then , I exchanged secret road routes with them once, and when I entered, the secret road collapsed for some reason, and I almost didn’t come out.”

"Um." Yunieff didn't know what to say.

"Of course they didn't mean it." Hilliard said, "But it also illustrates the point. The two brothers and I will form a stable and unlucky structure of one plus two equals three. So, it's better to hide. It’s better to focus on it.”

The two continued to walk around, and finally came to a huge tapestry.

On the tapestry, there is a ballet teacher teaching six trolls to dance. The trolls are wearing tutus and ballet shoes, which is very eye-catching.

Opposite the tapestry is a large blank wall.

The Room of Requirement, Yunieff thought.

Hilliard asked Univer to stand aside, and he turned back three times in front of the wall, and saw a very smooth door emerging from the wall.

Hilliard held the copper handle, opened the door, and called for Yunieffe to go in: "You go first, otherwise you may not be able to get in."

Yunieff walked in and found that the interior was quite bright. There were various unknown measuring tools and instruments placed on the walls. There was a rather large work table in the middle, with a scaled-down model of Hogwarts Castle on it. .

Hilliard closed the door and said, "This is what I call the magic room. Last semester, I wanted to make a castle model to collect results. It was a big project, easy to be disturbed, and there was no place to put the things I made. And then this room magically appeared.”

He took out his wand and clicked on the castle model: "Look at my results, although they are not finished yet."

The model became transparent, and the layout inside was clearly visible.

The locations of each classroom, office, lounge, and bathroom were clearly marked, and Yunieff took them to heart.

You can see the furnishings inside most of the rooms, which are almost identical, and you can see the hard work that goes into them.

However, when it comes to girls' areas, such as girls' dormitories and girls' washrooms, everything is blurry.

Probably never went in.

"Awesome!" Yunieff exclaimed, this time he was really impressed.

"It's still a little short of that," Hilliard said. "There are no secret passages. Although some secret passages are smooth when walking, it is very difficult to reproduce them on the model. Some walls are very thin. In theory, it is There is no room for secret passages, but in fact there are secret passages passing through it.”

"Maybe it's because of the Traceless Stretching Charm," Yunieff said.

"It's possible." Hilliard nodded, "I will consider this when continuing production."

"I hope to see the finished product." Yunieff said sincerely, so that he could access all the secret passages at once.

Hilliard said helplessly: "It may take a long time. This year's academic work is quite heavy, and I still have to prepare for the OWL exam."

"That's a pity," said Junifer.

"It's no pity." Hilliard shook his head, "I guess I won't be able to explore Hogwarts until I graduate. No, it should be said that I definitely won't be able to. There are too many secrets in Hogwarts. Come on. At that time, we can only let others complete the model. By the way, do you want to give it a try?"

"Try what?" Yunieff asked. "Perfect this model?"

"No, I'm still too early to graduate. I mean this room." Hilliard said, "I tried, this room can be transformed into other shapes, but we have to exit first before it can reset its state. "

"it is good."

So the two exited again, and Hilliard explained how to enter: "Concentrate, think about what you want, and then pass this wall three times like I just did, and then you can open the door."
