Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 206 Backtracking

Medusa's body is constantly filled with light.

Soon, all she had left was silvery white.

The previous turquoise light gathered on the snake's hair and lower abdomen, and was covered by the silver light, making it completely invisible from the outside.

Medusa moved her body, stretched her arms, swung the snake's tail, and manipulated the snake's hair.

Finally, Medusa opened her mouth: "Hello, my name is Harry Potter."

The sound she made was also exactly like Harley's own voice.

After completing all the tests, Harley nodded with satisfaction:

"Sure enough, my guess was correct. The patron saint and the form of mythical creatures are extremely closely related."

"I can inject consciousness into the patron saint, and at the same time, it carries the power of my own mythical creature form."

"This situation is really similar to the situation where low-level extraordinary people attach their spiritual bodies to high-level items to temporarily increase their power."

"It seems that I will continue to develop this magic spell."

"Wait a minute, can I inject the power of the mythical creature form into the patron saint, so that I can expand the mythical creature form at will without reaching sequence two?"

"This is an idea and worth a try."

After Harry remembered what he had just happened to think, he began to try to control himself, trying to make the silver brocade robe on the surface of the patron saint's body no longer so bright.

However, she tried for a long time, but the effect was not good.

"Oh," Harley looked at the still dazzling arms, "That's it, I can only be more cautious when moving."

Harley swung her snake tail and slid quickly in the corridor.

Although she has not appeared in this form for a long time, Harley, who was originally in Sequence Three, has also opened the mythical creature form many times and has rich experience.

Today, Harley is quickly reacquainted with this method of movement.

The corridor was empty at this time, and there were no people on the portraits on both sides.

Harley had a clear goal and went straight to Administrator Filch's office.

At the corner of the corridor, Harley stopped moving. A snake hair began to grow longer and moved slowly against the ceiling.

Through the perspective of the snake hair, Harley saw that Filch's office door was open, and there were no signs of violence on it.

Looking inside the office, there was no one inside, but the overall scene showed that it had been ransacked.

There were originally many wooden filing cabinets lined up along the walls around Filch's office.

The cabinet contained detailed information on every student Filch had punished, as well as various prohibited items confiscated.

But now, these cabinets have been vandalized in extremely violent ways.

The door of the cabinet closest to the door fell off, and the other cabinet completely fell apart, leaving only a base.

The confiscated contraband was also scattered all over the floor, and scraps of paper from various torn documents were scattered all over the room.

It was obvious that the professors were not in the mood to help Filch clean up the garbage, but just forced some triggered prohibited items to quiet down.

After confirming that no one was there, Harley controlled her body and moved over.

When passing by the office door, Harley also sensed several magic traps with the extremely high spiritual warning in this state.

"Probably some professor randomly put some spells here." Harry paused for a moment and studied it carefully.

She barely recognized that one of the spells was the delayed petrification spell that Professor Flitwick had mentioned.

As for other spells, Harry had never seen them before, so he couldn't judge their effectiveness.

If the prisoner returned to the scene, these spells would surely impress him.

However, Harley's Patronus is composed entirely of magic power, similar to the state of a spirit body, and will not trigger these physical spells at all.

After Harley slipped into the office, she looked at the human-shaped empty space in front of her, and her eyes began to glow with green light.

Although she has not returned to the Witch of Despair, through the medium of the Patron Saint, Harley can barely exert a power close to sequence four, and the duration is much longer than before.

Harley made full use of this high-level power, combined with some black magic and curses unique to witches, and borrowed some treasures from the forbidden book area, and barely formed a detection ability.

Although there was no change in the clearing, the scenes that had happened before quickly flashed backwards in front of Harley's eyes.

"Well...Professor Flitwick set a trap at the door of the office...the professors searched the room...Professor McGonagall forcibly stopped all activated contraband..."

"Professor Spratt lifted Filch up...Professor Snape turned Filch over and poured the medicine...Peeves left the office laughing...Found it!"

The scene freezes on a short figure frantically flipping through the office.

Harley sped up her retrace and started from the beginning.

From Harley's perspective, Filch at that time was arranging his black dress, preparing to attend the Halloween dinner.

Suddenly, a mouse appeared from the corner and transformed into a short man.

The man picked up the chair behind the table and hit Filch hard on the back of the head.

Filch said nothing and fell heavily to the ground.

The man quickly picked up a wand from Filch, then purposefully blew open a separate cabinet, searching desperately for something inside.

Unfortunately, he seemed to find nothing and went berserk, blowing apart other cabinets in the room and shouting something wildly.

Seeing this, Harley quickly ended her ability.

At this time, the two-color light on her body had become much weaker.

Although Harley's body was made of magic power and should not be tired, she still looked out of breath.

"This kind of backtracking is still too energy-consuming. I can't see the specific appearance. I can only tell who it is through the body shape."

While slowly recovering, Harley summarized the abilities she had previously used.

"And you can't hear the sound, and you can't see any strong presence."

"As for Professor Dumbledore, I can't even show him, let alone know what he is doing, unless he brings more power from his body."

"Also, isn't Filch a squib? Why does he have a wand on him?"

Harley didn't think twice and looked at the cabinet that the man from earlier had exploded first.

The independently placed cabinet is divided into two layers, the upper layer is a drawer, and the lower layer is made of two doors. One door has flown off, and the other door is also lying aside.

The top drawer of the cabinet read: "Confiscated items, highly dangerous."

"The cabinet where the Marauder's Map is stored?" Harry recalled a conversation between Professor Lupine and Sirius in the Forbidden Forest.

In that chat, Sirius mentioned the Marauder's Map.
