From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 16 Night Tour

Wearing the coat of the Disillusionment Spell, Xiven walked out of the common room.

The green torches in the corridor outside have been extinguished, the surroundings are extremely dark, and the entire basement is filled with a cold and eerie atmosphere.

"Lumos."

He took out his wand, added a little light enough to see the road in the dark space, and then walked towards the ground.

……

On the other side, Helena looked at "Strange" walking around in surprise.

In the evening, he suddenly put down the book "Secrets of Ancient Legends of the Magical World" that he was reading seriously and ran out of the library. Then he started wandering around and behaving extremely strangely.

"What are you looking for?" Helena asked.

Xiwen looked at Helena helplessly and said, "If you don't read in the mirror space, why are you following her out?"

Helena said: "Anyway, I can't remember the knowledge if I stay there reading the book. Why don't I come out and see what interesting things you are going to do."

'It's not an interesting thing...' Xiwen was very speechless and had to make up a random reason and said: "I just saw a legend in "The Secret of Ancient Legends of the Magical World", which mentioned Hogwart. The four founders of Ci all left a secret room in the castle, and there is precious knowledge and wealth in the secret room. I feel a little curious!"

"Most of those legends were obtained through false rumors." Helena curled her lips disdainfully and said. "But speaking of the Chamber of Secrets, Salazar Slytherin probably built one after he fell out with the other three founders, but no one knows the specific location."

She thought for a moment and then added: "Ravenclaw did leave a room on the eighth floor, but ghosts can't get in."

"There's no need to force it." Xiwen was originally focused on finding his kitten and had no intention of exploring the secret room, so he said a perfunctory sentence and started wandering around the castle again.

"Wait." He suddenly realized a problem and stopped. "How do you know so clearly? Are you...?"

"It's obvious, isn't it? I'm the daughter of Ravenclaw!" Helena raised her eyebrows slightly proudly, and then her expression dimmed.

"Ah, he is actually a senior of the founder's era, so disrespectful!" Xiwen made a face deliberately to make a joke.

"Pfft——" Helena burst into laughter. "You are so unserious!"

"What's the use of being serious? You can't eat it." Xiwen muttered, but continued to look for the cat.

Suddenly, Xiwen felt like he bumped into a person, or a ghost. He looked very scary, with dull eyes and a haggard appearance, and his robe was stained with silver blood spots.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about the problem and didn't look at the road carefully!" Xiwen quickly stepped aside and apologized to him.

But this scary ghost didn't pay attention at all. He just stared at Helena and stopped all movements.

Helena's face immediately turned cold, and she took Xiwen's arm and prepared to take him away from here.

However, Xiwen's other arm was pulled back by the terrifying ghost.

Xiwen looked at him with questioning eyes and asked, "What's the matter, sir?"

"Who are you? I don't think I have ever seen you." He glared and said viciously.

"Barrow, he is my friend, don't go too far!" Helena said to Barrow in a cold and blunt tone.

After hearing her words, Barrow seemed to panic for a moment, and even his tone trembled a little. He said: "Helena, you are so gullible that you don't even know you've been deceived!"

"Are you saying that I am a liar, Mr. Barrow?" Xiwen's tone also darkened.

Helena didn't want to say anything to Barodo, so she simply turned around and pulled Xiwen towards the other side of the castle.

And Xiwen also shook his arm, easily broke away from Barrow's pull, and followed Helena away. Only the stunned Barrow stayed where he was.

While walking on the road, Helena saw that Xiwen's face was not very good, so she comforted her softly: "Strange, you don't need to be angry because of Barrow. He is just a madman!"

"I'm fine." Xiwen shook his head. It's not that he was angry because of Barrow's doubts, it was just that the castle was almost searched and he hadn't found his cat yet, so he was a little depressed.

As for Barrow's question, he actually didn't say anything wrong. He used the alias Strange to gain Helena's trust. How is he any different from a liar?

"By the way, is that the only ghost Peeves is afraid of?" Xiven asked.

"He just bullies the weak and fears the strong." Helena snorted coldly.

……

Because there was no trace of the kitten after almost searching in the castle, Xiwen, who was wearing a magic body spell, was going to try his luck outside the castle.

Just as he was quietly heading to the first floor of the castle, a dim light suddenly appeared under the stairs, and a figure holding an oil lamp walked towards Xiwen.

"Who's there?" He shouted as if he saw the light from Sivan's wand.

Quickly extinguishing the wand, Xiwen hid behind a stone pier and held his breath.

A middle-aged man with a sinister face and disheveled hair came over carrying a heavy oil lamp. He carefully searched the surroundings left and right, front and back, but found no one.

There was a puzzled expression on his face, but he said calmly: "Come out, I've seen you!"

Xiwen curled his lips and continued to stay where he was calmly.

"What's the matter, Mr. Pringle?" At this time, a voice sounded from the corner.

A young man holding a glowing wand came out of the corner on the other side and asked doubtfully.

Pringle was overjoyed at first, but when he saw the person coming, he replied in disappointment: "Professor Luo Lei, why are you here?"

Professor Luo Lei replied: "I didn't adjust my schedule well at the beginning of school, so I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

Pringle said: "Were you here just now? I thought there were naughty students out for a night out."

Professor Luo Lei raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "I was not in this position just now. Maybe there are actually students nearby."

As he spoke, he glanced around with wandering eyes.

Xiwen suddenly became nervous. He didn't think that Prewett's unskilled Transformation Curse could be hidden from a professor. What's more, after such a long time, the effect of the Disguise Curse has begun to weaken.

‘We have to think of something. ’ Xiwen thought. At the same time, he silently hid his body in a blind spot behind the stone pier that Professor Luo Lei could not see.

Professor Lorre followed the castle administrator Pringle as he moved around, trying to find the little wizard who violated the school rules. When he walked to a stone pier, he suddenly felt something was out of place, so he took two steps back, ready to take a closer look.

Xiwen held his breath...

"Are you looking for something?"

Suddenly, a voice rang in the air.

The two people who were interrupted looked up into the sky and found a ghost standing in the sky looking at them doubtfully.
