Retirement from Hogwarts

It was already the last two days of the Christmas vacation when Jack and the others appeared in the Great Hall of Hogwarts again.

"Hey, Jack. Where have you and Hermione been this holiday? Neville and I have been looking for you almost the entire holiday." While Jack was enjoying a rare dinner, Harry's voice came from behind him.

"That silly girl Hermione mistook cat hair for Millicent's hair and added it to the polyjuice potion. I took her to St. Mungo's for a vacation." Jack said while stroking it. He touched the cat ears on Hermione's head that had not disappeared yet.This caused Hermione to let out a dissatisfied protest.

"How did your test go? Is Malfoy the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?" After protesting to Jack, Hermione asked Harry and Neville in a low voice.

"Forget it, that guy is not the heir of Slytherin at all. He only stayed here to show his pure-blood status." Harry shook his head in disappointment.

"That is to say, I have spent so much effort this time but still gained nothing." Jack curled his lips and said.

"Of course we didn't gain anything at all." Harry said with a wink. "It is said that there is the entrance to a secret warehouse under the floor of the hall of the Malfoy family's ancestral home, which is filled with all kinds of dark magic items and forbidden magical materials that are prohibited from use by the Ministry of Magic."

"Well...that's good news." Jack couldn't help but ponder after hearing Harry's words. "Harry, please don't spread this matter first."

"Don't spread the word? Why?" Harry asked in confusion.

"Why don't you ask. Let's wait and watch the show during the summer vacation." Jack said with a smile.

Harry looked at the mysterious smile on Jack's face and couldn't help but shook his head angrily, and sat down next to Jack with Neville.He began to question him.

However, in front of Jack, who had made up his mind not to tell them anything, Harry and Neville's questioning offensive finally failed.

. . . . . .

On the last day of the Christmas vacation, Jack and Hermione once again gathered in Darien's office to discuss the news about the Gryffindor Chamber of Secrets.

"What do you mean at the top of the black and white world in Gryffindor's message? You know, we had already rummaged through that room. Whether it was the world in the book or the top of the room later, there was nothing there at all. Something that can be called a clue." Jack said, rubbing his temples in distress.

"Do you think Gryffindor is not talking about that room or world at all? Is he referring to something else." Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Dallion, can you show me that book again?" Hermione asked Dallion.

Dallion shrugged helplessly and handed the book in Hermione's hand. "What you find is up to you."

Hermione took the book and began to tinker with the spine quickly.

"It seems that I think too much."

After researching for a long time to no avail, Hermione threw the book on the round table at hand and said dejectedly.

"No, Hermione. I think we have found him." Jack pointed to a line of gilded ancient Wellington Elvish text etched on the metal cover of the Magic Book and read.

"My monsters like to eat dragons. That's what Gryffindor is giving us, Hermione."

"Hint? What does this mean? What does the Gryffindor monster say?" After hearing Jack's words, Hermione asked a barrage of questions.

"Professor Dumbledore's office is where Gryffindor used to be.

Principal room. "Jack replied.

"You mean the Gryffindor monster is the monster at the door of the principal's office?" Hermione exclaimed in surprise. "Does that mean Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets is near the Headmaster's Office?"

"To be precise, it should be down there." Dallion, who had been silent the whole time, said quietly.

"I didn't expect that you would find it in the end. If that bastard Gryffindor knew that two Ravenclaws finally got their hands on his secret room, I'm afraid the coffin board wouldn't be able to hold it down." Dallion gloated. got up.

. . . . . .

On the night of the second Friday after Christmas, after two full weeks of intense preparations, Jack and Hermione arrived at the door of Dumbledore's office.However, something slightly different from the plan is that Athena, who was hung by Hermione's neck after her adventure in the black and white world, recently broke her silence and became active.

"Is this really okay? Dumbledore won't come down suddenly." In the quiet corridor at night, Hermione carefully lowered her voice and said.

"Ah~~~Ah~Ah~~~ Don't worry, it won't happen." Jack said with a long slap. "Dumbledore always got up after three o'clock in the evening."

"How did you know?" Hermione asked, looking at Jack with wide eyes. "Spying on a great mage like Dumbledore is not an easy task. What should you do if you are discovered? You might be expelled by then."

"Don't worry, this is absolutely impossible. Do you think I'm an impulsive person like Harry? As a great hero, you always have to have some little tricks to save your life." After Jack said this, he smiled and walked away from the King's Treasure. He took out a corner of Harry's Invisibility Cloak and winked at Hermione.

"Huh, you're the only one who's a hero? I think you're more of a villain." Hermione glanced at Jack coquettishly and said viciously.

"Can you two stop showing off your affection here? It's already past two o'clock in the middle of the night. Do you want to go in tonight?" Athena, who had been on Hermione's shoulder since she woke up, finally finally Unable to stand it any longer, he reminded the two of them.

After hearing Athena's words, Hermione couldn't help but glance at Jack shyly, turned around, walked to the monster at the door of Dumbledore's office and read out the password left by Gryffindor.

"Flying dragon."

As Hermione finished speaking, the entire monster trembled crazily.After a red light swept across their bodies, the monster consciously waved its wings and flew into the air, creating a spiral downward staircase for them.

"Tsk tsk, Gryffindor's design is much better than Slytherin's snake nest design. Those who say in history books that Gryffindor is a brainless idiot are probably the real idiots." Jack looked at himself The monster jumped to the side and said in surprise.

"Okay, don't sigh here. If you don't go in, you might be discovered." After Hermione said that, she took the lead and pulled Jack down with her.

"Being discovered? How is this possible? Even if we are discovered by people like Granfando's plan, they will only think that we are here to find Dumbledore." Jack said as he walked.

As they walked farther and farther in the spiral passage, the entire staircase began to become wider and wider.When the ground beneath their feet turned completely flat, they had arrived at a straight corridor in the sky.

Looking at the familiar scenery on both sides of the corridor, Hermione couldn't help shouting: "This is the corridor connecting the main castle and Gryffindor Castle. How did we get here."
