Reborn at Hogwarts

It was a figure.

There are no facial features, and the whole body is shining with a mercury-like luster.

It appeared in front of Paracelsus out of thin air. Facing Dumbledore's attack, the figure simply raised its hand, and a barrier was quickly opened between the arms and legs.

The spell fell on the mercury-like barrier, only to stir up a ripple, and then fell silent.

"This is……"

Dumbledore was slightly taken aback.

He has dealt with Paracelsus a lot, but he has never seen this strange creation that looks like a human body and can defend itself without verbal commands.

Immediately, Dumbledore remembered something.

During the Hogwarts holiday this year, he summoned members of the Order of the Phoenix to search for Paracelsus in the country.

During the period, the two members found Paracelsus in Moreton-in-Marsh, and an encounter occurred between the two sides, but the attacks of the members of the Order of the Phoenix could not even stop the alchemist from leaving, and all the spells were destroyed. A mercury-like shield that appeared out of nowhere blocked it.

That shield, and this figure, are... the same thing?

Dumbledore understood something.

Although he was distracted by recalling what happened a few months ago, Dumbledore's offensive did not slow down.

Seeing that the figure blocked the spell attack, Dumbledore immediately changed his method. He pointed his wand at the statues and armors lined up next to the wall: "Stone pier is dispatched!"

Sooner or later, the statues and armors in the entire corridor jumped off their supports. They turned their bodies in unison, and rushed towards Paracelsus with weapons in hand.

Then, with a muffled sound, the windows in the corridor were closed "bang bang bang", and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness.

In this environment, the sound of statues and armor marching is eerie.

Dumbledore waved his wand again, and a stone wall "rumbling" rose from behind Paracelsus, blocking his way back.

It seems that it is already hopeless.

It's just that Dumbledore knew very well that these were not enough for Paracelsus.

The old wizard thought for a while, then stepped back quietly.

...

Dazzling light gushed out of the door like a tide, engulfing Ivan's body in an instant.

Ivan felt a strong suction coming from the door, as if countless hands reached out and dragged him in.

After the light faded, Ivan opened his eyes and found himself...

Back in the Chamber of Secrets?

Looking at the huge statue standing in the distance, he was a little dazed for a moment.

What's the situation? I am back again?

But he immediately realized that this was not the same as Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

In the secret room where Riddle fought before, in addition to the statue of Slytherin himself, there are many stone pillars carved with big snakes, which together support the secret room.

But at this time, the room he was in did not have those stone pillars.

Instead, human statues with bowed heads and bowed bows stood on either side of the room.

no, not human...

Ivan looked up at the statue closest to him.

On its head, it was a ferocious... eagle.

All the statues only have human bodies, but their heads look like birds of prey.

Birdman?

Ivan thought of a possibility, and his heart beat a few beats faster.

He hurriedly looked in the direction of the giant statue.

With a glance, he finally understood what this place was.

Unlike Salazar Slytherin, the statue in the room he came to now has a graceful, even enchanting figure, which cannot be concealed even by the old-fashioned wizard robes.

is a woman.

The head of the statue is a woman with long hair and a shawl. She has a beautiful enough, but somewhat intimidating face, with a faint, teasing smile hanging from the corner of her mouth.

No matter how Ivan looked at it, he felt that this face was very familiar.

Suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind.

It was the face he saw every day when he returned to the common room.

"Rowena Ravenclaw?!"

The image in memory overlapped with the face of the statue, and Ivan finally recognized the identity of the statue.

It was Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts.

She is also the origin of the name of Ravenclaw House.

Ivan was a little confused about the situation.

In his impression, Hogwarts should only have one secret room.

It was the place he had just been to, built by Salazar Slytherin to purge students who he thought were unworthy of studying at Hogwarts.

Rowena Ravenclaw... what was she building a Chamber of Secrets for?

For fun?

This is obviously impossible.

So, does she also have some secret goals that she needs to hide from the other founders?

At this time, Ivan suddenly felt a great exhaustion.

He lowered his head and watched his body quickly recover to a state of flesh and blood.

A layer of flush suddenly appeared on his face, and then he became pale as paper.

The magic power... was exhausted.

No, it's not exhausted yet, the body's self-protection allowed Ivan to retain the last trace of magic power.

If you want to activate the incarnation technique again, you can't do it.

"...Now you don't have to think about whether it's safe here."

Ivan thought helplessly.

He really wanted to stay in the avatar state and explore in this secret room that belonged to Ravenclaw.

But now it seems that he can only go on without protection.

As the founder of Hogwarts, shouldn't he be targeted by Ravenclaw?

Ivan comforted himself, and walked slowly to the Ravenclaw statue.

so big...

He sighed sincerely.

I don't know what kind of production method Rowena Ravenclaw used. This statue is much more detailed than Slytherin's, and the details are lifelike.

It is simply scaled up.

However, what is the significance of putting such a statue in the secret room?

Ivan walked around the statue, but found no hidden mechanism.

It's not just to tell the entrants: This is Rowena Ravenclaw's chassis...is it that simple?

Ivan has a headache.

He found that he seemed to be caught in a strange circle again.

After escaping from one secret room, he came to another secret room.

And can't find a way out.

He walked around the room again with his wand, and carefully observed every "Birdman" statue for a long time, but he still couldn't find any mechanism that could be triggered.

No entrance or exit was found either.

Do I have to blast the wall to get out? Or is there some "inheritance of the founder of the academy" here, and I must inherit her treasure before I can leave?

After turning around for a long time, Ivan returned to the feet of the Ravenclaw statue.

Almost half an hour has passed since he opened the door.

He still got nothing.

I tried all the methods that could be used, but there was no response at all.

Could it be that they really want to blow up a way in this secret room?
