Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 669: The extraordinary in the ordinary
The night is getting darker.
The night at Hogwarts Castle is dim. Except for the light from the patrolling Filch lantern, most of the other places are in darkness.
Of course, the passage of Hufflepuff's bedroom underground is also pitch black. Coupled with the intricacies here, even the old students who have lived here for several years will not go on unfamiliar routes after the lights are turned off.
But at this moment, Ensi was feeling the darkness all the way, involuntarily going deep into it.
He doesn't know why he wants to do this, he only knows that the wonderful feeling is still guiding him, asking him to follow that premonition. He knows better that as long as he follows this feeling, he will definitely get some unexpected benefits in the end.
Just like in the corridor outside the common room before, knowing that I shouldn't have kept up with Filch, but at the end he was surprised to get a chance to cause trouble.
"...Speaking of which, if I didn’t find a scapegoat for Slytherin, it wouldn’t be good to wait for Filch to report the matter to the principal." Ensi thought as he walked, "Using a tapestry. Leading him away is a temporary escape at best, but once he finds out that he has been deceived... even if he can't find me for a while, tomorrow the principal will ask the group of house elves and he will understand everything... …"
Yes, if no one mentions it, the house elves will not take the initiative to report it. But since the place where Filch was played is at the entrance of the Hufflepuff common room, if this matter is checked, it will naturally be checked from the most probable place, and it will be sooner or later that it will be exposed.
At that time, the time was urgent, and Ens certainly had no time to think about it. It was a blessing to be able to use the tapestry to distract Filch. If it weren't for the exceptionally good effect of the elixir, that trace of inspiration would have just led him to throw the matter on Slytherin's head, and his quick-and-witted way of avoiding disaster would be completely in vain.
Now, when Ens once again felt the peculiar premonition at the door of the dormitory, he naturally chose to go with the flow without hesitation.
Seriously, the feeling this time is particularly strong, he has to take a good look at what "lucky" is waiting for him in the end.
This underground passage is still so dim. The deeper you go, the more hazy Ensi's eyes appear, and when you get to the back, you can even say that you can't see your fingers.
However, the effect of the blessing potion is still maintaining his intuition, so that he hasn't missed a step. Even if the twists and turns here are hidden in the darkness, he will inevitably turn around exactly every corner, and walk through these passages seemingly irregular.
"...is this here?"
Suddenly, he muttered to himself, then stopped. And his right hand peeked to his side almost at the same time, and grabbed a palm-sized, smooth and round hard object.
"Click--"
This is the sound made when the bolt is twisted. It seems that what he is holding is a doorknob.
Ensi nodded to himself, confirmed the guidance in his heart, then turned around and stepped out steadily.
"Click."
When his hand left the cool handle, the door leaf he couldn't even see was closed again.
"Fluorescence blinking."
This is a spell taught to students in the first grade, and it is also the second practical spell after the floating spell. In fact, even if he doesn't eat chocolate, Ensi can still use it smoothly, but the light from the tip of his stick is obviously much brighter than usual.
And just the second after the magic wand glowing curse took effect immediately, a room that had accumulated a lot of dust immediately appeared in front of Ens.
It can be seen that this should have been a living room of a certain age, with bed boards, tables and chairs, lampstands and other daily necessities. But perhaps because there was no one living in it for too long, this place has long been turned into an alternative storage room, and even the period when it was turned into a storage room is probably some years old.
Ensi stood at the door holding a magic wand, and took photos from left to right, up and down, and found that the debris piled up here was full of pots and pans, some of which had even fallen apart a long time ago.
"This room is not a short distance from the current dormitory area." He thought casually, "It seems that at some point in the past, the number of students at Hufflepuff College may have been greater than it is now. Much more..."
Of course, this was just a thought by Ensi, he quickly threw this idea aside, and planned to follow the guidance in his heart to go somewhere in this room. However, this time he only took one step and suddenly stopped again.
I saw the wand in his hand suddenly dropped, and the light instantly illuminated the ground near him, and a string of footprints that were not his own were immediately revealed.
"Who has been here before?"
Because the dust accumulated over the years is everywhere in this room, if someone has walked but hasn't cleaned up their footprints, they can tell at a glance. And on the ground at this moment, there are so few quite obvious footprints, which can be seen clearly through the light.
But to be honest, it's not a big deal to have a few footprints here. Students are not forbidden to enter and exit here. If Ensi Taon can come, can others not come?
It's just Ens but obviously doesn't think so.
However, he immediately squatted down, stretched out his left index finger and gently wiped the footprints, then placed it under the light and glanced briefly.
As mentioned before, this is actually a very deep passage. Perhaps it was used a long time ago, but in recent years it has long been in a semi-abandoned state. Had it not been for the structure of Hogwarts Castle as a whole, it would have fallen into disrepair. More than half of this underground passage would have to collapse.
If there is no purpose, who would come here to wander around?
"No matter what benefits you get later, you'll have to pay attention later... Maybe someone else knows..." Ensi thought carefully, and secretly added a reminder to himself.
It's always good to be careful, he Ens Taon, that's the kind of person.
"However, judging from the fact that there is dust in the footprints, most of the person has been away for a while. And it is strange that from the door to the center of the room, and back to the door from the middle, that's all. A few footprints...Why did that guy come here?"
Because the role of lucky chocolate is time-limited, Ensi only thought about it for a moment, and soon buried this concern in my heart.
He came to take advantage of this trip tonight!
After this, Ensi stopped thinking about it, but walked straight to the corner on the right side of the room.
Since there are many messy things blocking the way, and he wants to keep the magic wand glowing curse to disperse the darkness, so he has to push and kick them all over, but the original black background is yellow. The robes on the side were black and white, and looked somewhat embarrassed.
However, the tossing was worth it after all. When he knocked down a half-broken wooden shelf directly, a cupboard that was also damaged a lot was revealed.
It's just different from those crunchy and decayed wood products. This cupboard is built directly on the wall with stone bricks. The door of the cupboard is not wrong, but the inside is barely formed. And on the polished stone-brick cabinet, stacks of silver dishes with faintly visible fine decorations are still placed on top.
It’s just that the objects that were once used to serve food are now only full of dust...If the craftsmen who made them were still alive, I’m afraid they could cry for you on the spot.
However, Ens is of course not interested in this, he only cares about whether he can get something valuable. With just a glance, he directly stretched his hand to one of the stacks of silver plates and pinched the edge of the bottom plate accurately.
Sure enough, he just dialed it and knew that the silver plate was fixed on it~IndoMTL.com~ and immediately afterwards, he pinched the edge and turned it hard, followed by a burst of mechanism transmission. , This cupboard, which seemed to be directly on the wall, opened like a door.
"It really deserves to be a wizard's castle. It is the same as those written in the story books. There is such a hidden secret door..."
Ens was amazed by it, but he didn't know that it was a real new thing to find such a "Muggle-style" secret door in Hogwarts Castle.
Generally speaking, if sorcerers build secret rooms, they usually use all kinds of magic. The more powerful the wizard, the more complex and sophisticated the magic spells will be used to hide the secret tunnels. How can they use the purely physical structure that Muggles can design?
But it is this kind of method that most wizards don't think of, but sometimes it can fool the outstanding teachers and students who are born in Hogwarts, right?
Of course, Ensi is just a little wizard who has only recently contacted the magic world. Even if he is deep-minded and flexible, he can see that his knowledge is still limited after all. Perhaps one day in the future, he will make a completely different sigh for this strange design, but he won't have that kind of thought at this time.
So, with full curiosity and anticipation, he just stepped forward with his wand, and walked in the exposed dim passage.
This is a densely sloping stone steps, the **** is not steep but very long, and it seems to be a spiral downward path. On the outer stone wall of the spiral channel, an armrest groove was dug out with extra care, but now it is already full of dust and stains, and it is impossible to support it.
However, because of the surprise in his heart, Ensi didn't feel tired, and walked down quite briskly.
