Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 567 Secret Path and Little Orange Lantern



Hogwarts Castle, built during the witch-hunting movement, built many secret passages for escaping from the castle at the beginning of its construction. After thousands of years of abandonment and new construction, there are still many secret passages still in use, some of which The Tao spread among the students on a small scale.

However, the "secret" of the secret passage is only for the students, and the previous headmasters of Hogwarts have mastered the entrance and exit positions of all the secret passages in the castle.After all, everyone is hanging on the wall, and there is no possibility of any secret passage being lost.Now, the living ones who fully grasp all the secrets of Hogwarts' secret passages are Professor McGonagall and Zhang Xu who once worked with Lao Deng to build the defense measures for secret passages.To those who died, there was a Peeves who patrolled the secret passage every day.

The secret passage connecting the Hog's Head Bar and Hogwarts is currently the most important among all the secret passages. There are many defensive magics that Dumbledore had personally laid out before.

When Hermione saw the secret passage for the first time, she suddenly had a sense of impending danger, which made her shiver.

There is no light or sound in the secret passage, it is dark like a passage leading to another world.

After confirming that all the idlers around had been dismissed, Hermione returned to the meeting room.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Xu sitting on a chair, slowly taking out the fleshy orange petals from a half-peeled orange, putting them on the plate on the table, and pushing them away. In front of Mr. Weasley.Then he took out a very thick needle and a ball of twine, threaded the small orange bowl facing each other, like a small basket, and lifted it with a small bamboo stick.Then I took a short wax head from the foot of the candle holder and put it inside.

"You take this." Zhang Xu handed the completed little orange lantern to Hermione.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the office, Zhang Xu pushed the trolley containing Harry and Ginny and left the meeting room.

It's just that Zhang Xu's walking looks a little strange to others because the entire trolley is covered by the invisibility cloak.

When the group of them reached the entrance of the secret passage, Zhang Xu stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers, and the candle stub in the small orange lantern in Hermione's hand ignited.

At the beginning, Hermione walked in front with a small orange lantern, and Zhang Xu followed behind her, pushing a trolley containing a bundle of Harry and Ginny.

Holding the nifty little orange lamp, Hermione walked slowly in the dark and silent secret passage, accompanied only by her own footsteps.This hazy orange-red light can't really shine very far.The slight "pat-pat-pat" footsteps could not even arouse any echo.

The impenetrable firelight made the darkness even darker, and the faint footsteps made the silence even more silent.

Walking mechanically in the endless dark tunnel made Hermione even more nervous. She had a thought that she would never end her life, and the feeling of imminent mortal danger kept coming to her. She strikes.

I don't know when it started, but Hermione, who was walking in front, began to slow down. Finally, she simply walked to Zhang Xu's side, holding the small orange lamp in one hand, and Zhang Jingru's arm pushing the cart with the other, hoping to get back from Get a little courage out of his calm, brave, optimistic spirit.

Now Hermione is a little envious of Harry and Ginny on the trolley, the two of them were not honest after being tied up just now

, and suffered a stun spell from Mr. Weasley.

It's just that the small orange light in Hermione's hand has limited lighting effect, and the light from the fire, which is a little dimmer than before, can only illuminate the trolley and the place in front of the car without the invisibility cloak.

Zhang Xu glanced at Hermione who was trembling, and said nothing, just pushed the trolley and continued to move forward.

ㄟ..ㄟ

Suddenly, Hermione tripped over something and fell to the ground accidentally. The little orange lantern in her hand flew out, rolled on the ground twice and then went out, and the secret passage was suddenly plunged into darkness. middle.

At this time, Hermione didn't have the thought of "I fell down, I have to hug and lift up to get up", the tense string in her mind broke with the fall, and she subconsciously let out a cry scream.It's just that Hermione didn't notice at this time, her cry was not echoed back in the tunnel.

Zhang Xu, who was standing beside her, covered his ears, and almost blurted out the sentence "You can yell and break your throat, no one will come to rescue you".

Just as Hermione reached out for her wand to cast a spell, a palm covered her hand that had just touched the wand.

"You can't use charms here."

Zhang Xu's voice came from the darkness.

Hermione grabbed Zhang Xu's hand like a drowning person grabbing the lifebuoy.

Next, when Hermione was about to say something to Zhang Xu, she suddenly felt dizzy, and then she didn't know anything.

If Hermione hadn't been disturbed by fear just now, she would definitely find that Zhang Xu's words and actions were contradictory.If he didn't use magic, how would Zhang Xu find himself about to take out his wand in the dark secret passage and prevent himself from using magic.

Zhang Xu sighed again, then bent down and picked Hermione up, and put it on the trolley.

Although he said he turned off the lights, he still has the basic morals.

Ever since Hermione put down the greasy black-haired Harry in the school infirmary a while ago, she has become the master of the Elder Wand without her knowing it.

And Zhang Xu took great pains to get Harry back as the master of the Elder Wand.

Tonight, he took advantage of the opportunity of being alone with Hermione in the secret passage to take back the identity of the master of the Elder Wand, and then hand it over to Harry after a while.

After making such a big circle, Zhang wanted to beat up the producer of the Elder Wand.

The spell use mode in this secret passage is set to a white list mode, and Dumbledore sets it so that only professors from Hogwarts can use spells here, otherwise they will be attacked.This is to prevent outsiders from intruding and to allow the professors to be at the back when arranging for the students to retreat.

At the same time, there are also a large number of "fear halos" and a faint fog that can hinder the transmission of light and sound in the secret passage. When foreign enemies invade, they will use magic spells under the dual effects of sight, sound obstruction and fear in their hearts. .

In this way, Hermione was tricked without knowing it, and Zhang Xu took the opportunity to give her a stun spell. Anyway, at that time, he can tell her that you were stunned by the spell set by Dumbledore, so that Throw this pot out.
