Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 699: Forward and backward

In Hogwarts, one thing is almost universally recognized by the little wizards, and that is the fact that "Magic History lessons are extremely boring."

However, even so, it is still one of the required courses at Hogwarts.

For thousands of years, there have been many magic courses that have changed over and over again with the advancing of the times, but the history of magic has always remained on the students' schedule, even if it has not been cancelled for a single day.

If you have to ask "why", Maca McLean, who likes this course very much, may tell you-history can answer your doubts.

Just like a certain problem, it has plagued many Hogwarts students and even professors.

They don't understand why the founder of Hogwarts chose such a distinct branch of teaching. Some people think it is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, others think it is to cultivate a sense of competition, and some even say that this is simply a mistake left by the discord between the founders.

But these people actually think too much.

Because you only need to turn to the ninth chapter of "Hogwarts: A School History" to know that Hogwarts is always one. And the spirit advocated by each college is essentially the same.

Advancing bravely like Gryffindor may help you reach your destination; but sometimes if you choose to step back calmly like Slytherin, it may not necessarily mean that you are far from your goal. step.

Although few students will be interested in this inconspicuous truth, the book "Hogwarts: A School History" will only be remembered by a few little wizards. But coincidentally, Ens, who was theoretically impossible to read this kind of book, had to read it several times carefully because of the relationship between Slytherin and Hufflepuff's secret room.

"...calm down," Ensi secretly said to himself in the crowd, "think about it, what is the best thing I should do now...?"

While sinking his heart to think silently, his footsteps also slowed down. At the moment, Fang Malfoy's back became farther and farther away, and when he was finally completely overwhelmed by the flow of people, he suddenly turned and walked back.

"Secret room! Slytherin's secret room! Now that he is gone, isn't that the best time for me to go to the secret room to find out?" Ensi said in his heart as he walked through the crowd, "I hope there is no Was ruined by him—"

I returned all the way from near the gate of the school, and took a flying broom in the middle of the way as I did last time, so that I could return safely.

It didn't take long for Ensi, who was careful to avoid the sight of others, and went to the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

The crying Myrtle didn't seem to be here this time, but without some unnecessary delay, he quickly followed the pipe under the sink to the secret room deep underground in the castle.

"That's right... If I change, I'm afraid I will do the same..."

In fact, he had already thought of this possibility since he went back last night. It’s just that you can’t be reconciled if you don’t come here to see it with your own eyes, right?

Yes, right now, Ens saw it—behind the previous wall, there was indeed a "secret room in a secret room". Unfortunately, it can only be called a "ruin in the ruins" now.

Behind the hard rock wall where a big hole was smashed, there were signs of destruction everywhere in that small space. Scraps of wooden boards, scraps of paper sheets, and brick waste everywhere, even the walls of the stone room were covered with spider-web-like cracks.

It can be seen that it is a trace of being smashed by some kind of force.

"Repair as always!"

Standing in front of the gap in the rock wall, Ensi swung his wand to cast a repair spell, but the spell did not produce the effect it should have. He didn't know whether this was because of his lack of abilities, or whether the things here really didn't have the possibility of being restored to their original state.

With the light from the magic wand's glowing curse, Ensi saw some pages of paper under the bricks, and he walked in without giving up. He wanted to try to see if he could use his own hands to spell out an answer that should have belonged to him by using these pieces of paper that might contain important information.

"Uh..."

Just as he picked up a fragment of a page on the ground, before he even continued to exert his force, the fragment turned into dry fines between his fingers.

"...Draco Malfoy!"

Ens, who was irritating Malfoy more for the completely rotten paper, didn't know that the books and papers originally placed here had long been invalidated by preservation magic, and they rotted along with the times.

But at this moment, countless green light spots spouted out of the cracked brick wall behind him, and hovered silently around him.

These tiny spots of light are like countless fireflies, and they look unusually beautiful.

And just as Ens was surprised by this sudden and wonderful sight, they flew away quickly, covering this severely damaged stone room with a pale green illusion. shadow.

After a while, Ens was stunned to find that everything in the stone room seemed to be restored to their original appearance. Because the light spots are now integrated, the original furnishings of the stone room are reproduced in the form of similar images.

Desks, cabinets, tapestries, and clothes hangers, except for these images that have a layer of greenery, everything seems to really appear in Ens's field of vision.

He looked around, then raised his head suddenly, and a large map hung on the wall above the desk looked exceptionally clear. It can be said that these images look much clearer and more stable than when Maca injected magic power to start it.

Yes, in fact, everything that Maca did when he came here to look for clues in the past was wrong. Only passing the Slytherin test like Enns did last night is the right way to activate these images.

Of course, there is no correct way to say it now, whether it is Ens, Malfoy or Maca. After all, this place was only exposed after being extremely crudely "tipped down" by Maca from the very beginning. No matter how you think, this can't be the original intention of Salazar Slytherin.

"This is..."

Ensi, who was attracted by that ancient map, just glanced at it and started to have a headache again, because he couldn't understand the text on it again.

The letter from Hufflepuff last time was a variant of the ancient Rune script, but now on this map, it is obviously another ancient text symbol. Seriously, if not necessary, he really doesn't want to smash with some ancient text translation dictionary.

"Ugh..."

Fortunately, after he cast his happily depressed head, and cast his gaze on the map for a while, a red circle that was quite conspicuous in the light green drew his attention.

Even if he can't understand a word, but since the prompt is so clear at a glance, what reason does he have to complain?

Ensi pressed down the irritability in his heart, and firmly imprinted the position of the red circle and the characters marked next to him in his mind. He waited until the phantom in the stone room gradually dissipated. Quickly left this real Slytherin secret room.

The map is very clearly marked, and the drawing of the details is simple and easy to understand. He can understand that the location should be in a mountain range. As long as he moves the original thing in his memory onto the paper, and then checks and compares it, he will be able to quickly find its general location.

As for the troubles and rewards in that place, I won’t know until there...No, to be precise, he might have to find a way to get Malfoy first.

"That guy must have gone to find that place..." Ensi was thinking about walking towards the library, but at the same time he had to feel anxious, "There is too much time difference, I'm afraid it's too late... …After all, should I really compete with that Malfoy for that Slytherin gift?"

This is undoubtedly a very real problem-when the huge gap in strength is clearly before his eyes, all he can choose is to escape in the same embarrassment as last night, and he may not even be able to successfully escape every time.

As we walked, Ensi stopped again.

……

"Professor McLean, today's second round of competition is about to begin. Father asked me to inform you."

While Maca was still chatting with Harry and others in the staff lounge, Sarah knocked on the door of the room.

Although he actually wants to relax a bit, the competition is still very important after all, and he has to get up and prepare to leave.

"Let's go! Although there is no way to take you all to the front seat to watch the game, the content of today's game should be much more interesting than yesterday. Let's go and see!"

After raising the fun of the competition to Mr. Hornheim and other members of the jury~IndoMTL.com~ As he said, today's second round of competition will be more enjoyable. It's just that the questions are all about the jury, so even he doesn't know what the questions will be today.

Considering that many players have already been eliminated in the first round yesterday, the average level of the remaining participants has naturally risen a lot, so even Maca can't help but look forward to it again.

A few minutes later, Maca, Harry and the others talked to each other at the entrance of the arena, and then went to their positions to wait for the game to start.

"After the fierce competition of the players yesterday, we have already bid farewell to the brothers and sisters who have worked **** this field. Believe me, their hard work will not be in vain, and the rest of the players will take them. Will and determination to continue to move forward......"

In the middle of the arena, Lockhart, as the host, is still in high spirits. The lines that popped out of his mouth were also extremely passionate, and as always, there was no half of the truth.

"This role is really suitable for him." Maca couldn't help but chuckle from the sidelines.
