Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 23: The Secret Way and Filch


Having said that, my panel should not be a shortened version, but there is no map function. Albert was still in the mood to tease about his panel function, and after finding the room of responsiveness, he was in a good mood.

No way, in the online novels I read before, the system that comes with pig's feet is usually awesome. After turning on the scanning function, everything is invisible.

Now, think about it carefully, your own panel function is really pitiful.

Actually, Albert is very happy to have the golden finger of the panel.

"I remember that the principal's office is also on the eighth floor, but I don't know where the eighth floor is." Albert murmured.

Of course, he didn't intend to touch the headmaster's office. If Dumbledore's old man noticed him, his life at school would be difficult in the future.

After all, with portraits all over Hogwarts Castle, it's easy enough for Dumbledore to wonder what a student is doing.

Albert turned two more turns and found a descending staircase.

Walking down the stairs, started wandering around the castle, only to find herself lost.

Well, maybe it's not called getting lost, it's just that he's never been here.

Albert stopped in front of a wall, the light of his wand flashed across the carvings on the wall, and he reached out and tapped on it, it was solid.

However, Albert suspects that there is a secret passage here. There is no way. The carvings on the wall are too suspicious. Usually, there are secret doors and secret passages hidden in such places.

"Child, what are you doing here?" Nick got out of the wall next to him and looked at Albert who was examining the carvings in surprise.

The sudden sound startled Albert, and he felt like his heart was about to pop out of his chest.

Albert hurriedly took a few deep breaths, calmed his fast heartbeat, and couldn't help complaining to Nick, "Don't be so elusive, you'll scare people to death."

"Sorry, I didn't expect to scare you." Nick raised his eyebrows and asked again, "What are you doing here?"

"For a walk," Albert replied honestly.

"For a walk, this time?" Nick looked at the corridor suspiciously, it was still early.

"Yeah, take a walk. Sir Nicholas, I don't know if you have time to introduce me to Hogwarts. It's like a maze here. I accidentally lost my way while walking." Albert smiled and looked at Nick, if the other party is willing to help, he can save a lot of time.

"Oh, I think exploring the castle is one of the joys of a new student." Nick declined politely.

"You're right." Albert didn't care about Nick's rejection of him, and after greeting the other party with a smile, he continued to study the lion-body griffon sculpture in front of him.

Nick looked at Albert's back, shook his head and reminded, "If you want to open that door, switch it on the lion's claws."

"Thank you." Hearing that, Albert reached out his hand to the claws of the Gryphon and tapped it a few times. The stone door slowly opened, revealing a narrow secret passage inside.

"See you later, Sir Nicholas." Albert nodded slightly in thanks to the ghost, raised his wand and walked into the secret passage.

The inside is very narrow and only one person can pass through. It is definitely not a good place for people who are afraid of confinement.

Albert can feel that he is going down, and he doesn't know where the secret passage leads, but it is good news for Albert to discover its existence.

Sure enough, the ghosts and portraits living in the castle knew more about Hogwarts.

The exit was hidden behind a portrait. After the portrait was removed by Albert, the old man in pajamas stared at him unhappily, complaining that Albert interrupted his rest.

"Sorry for disturbing you!" Albert apologized to the old man in the portrait and continued walking, feeling that he might be lost again.

However, this time Albert found the moving stairs.

No matter how many times he watched it, he thought the scene of moving the stairs was spectacular.

It is said that Rowena Ravenclaw's work on moving the stairs and the House of Requirement is the work of Rowena Ravenclaw. I wonder if I can achieve this level in the future?

By the way, does Rowena Ravenclaw hide some secrets in the Room of Requirement?

After all, didn't Slytherin keep a basilisk in his back room?

It really makes sense when you think about it. Next time you pass by, you can try it out, maybe you can dig out some secrets.

It took Albert ten minutes to walk down the stairs. He encountered a change in the stairs on the way, and had to stay in place and wait for the stairs to return to their original state. Fortunately, I didn't make him wait too long, thank God, no, Merlin should be thanked now.

As soon as he entered the hall, Albert was attracted by a cat, which was a little thin and had a dark gray coat, which was incomparable to his Tom.

He bent down to shake it, but the cat ran so fast that it disappeared in a flash.

Albert knew that it was probably Manager Filch's cat, and what was the name of Mrs. Although he has read the book Harry Potter and the movie, but after a long time, he can't remember some unimportant things clearly, especially the names of the dragons.

If it weren't for the fact that I had written about a fan and checked a lot of information, it is estimated that I would have forgotten it faster.

The cat ran away, presumably to call someone, and Albert wasn't worried that Filch would come to trouble him.

After all, ~IndoMTL.com~ is already past six o'clock, and the sky hasn't fully brightened, all because it's raining outside.

When Albert was about to enter the auditorium, there was a screeching sound, and Filch, who was a little old, came over with an oil lamp.

Albert noticed that Filch was still drowsy, with only a cloak on his body, and there was a happy smile on the corner of his mouth, the smile of catching prey.

"Good morning, Mr. Filch." Albert raised his hand to greet him, as if he had met a familiar friend.

"Good morning?" Filch reached out to grab Albert, but he easily backed away.

"Of course, it's 6:15 now Mr. Filch." Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket, looked at the time, handed it to Filch and asked, "What time is the hall? How about starting meals?"

Filch was also taken aback, because Albert deliberately moved his wand to the pocket watch so that he could see the time better.

Filch, who thought he had caught the night student, suddenly collapsed, like a child who heard that the Halloween party was canceled.

In fact, it's already morning, and although it's still dark, no other students have woken up yet.

"7 o'clock." Filch turned and left angrily, leaving a sentence before leaving: "It's better not to let me see..."

The last few words, Albert did not hear clearly, were not important anyway.

However, does Filch really hate students?

This is the wish to arrest them all and put them in confinement.

Pushed the door and walked into the auditorium. It was very dark here, the suspended candles were all extinguished, and the lively scene last night no longer existed.

Albert turned and left, ready to continue exploring the castle's kitchen now.
