Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18

Chapter 165: The Secret Room Behind the Grandfather Clock

Although it was curfew time, there was no professor raiding the distance from the Hufflepuff common room to the kitchen.

Not even Filch, the Hogwarts administrator whom the students hated the most, and his Mrs. Norris didn't patrol here after curfew.

Badger and the kitchen are one piece. The first house elf working at Hogwarts was Helga Hufflepuff’s good companion. From the school’s founding to the present, this rule has not been written into the school rules. The unwritten rules of Hufflepuff have always been in effect, although some people once tried to cancel this privilege of Hufflepuff House, but after a day or two, they were honest.

The elf will no longer provide meticulous room service, you will no longer see any food you like on the table, and you will even have to guard against the pumpkin juice and lemon juice that you drink with a lethal dose of Hufflepuff Flavored vinegar, the elves are loyal to Hogwarts, there is no doubt about it, but they are even more loyal to Helga Hufflepuff, because most of the elves in the kitchen today are the original one offspring.

After chatting with the fat monk, it was past twelve o'clock, and Harry, who went to the kitchen for a midnight snack, rubbed his stomach to digest his food, and walked briskly in the empty Hogwarts castle at night.

Although the information about the senior that the fat monk told him was very rich, most of them were gossip that could only be used as gossip, and almost nothing about the awakened person was involved in it, but this is no wonder, unless it is As the same kind, otherwise it would be difficult for other wizards to notice the specialness of the awakened ones.

Among the things about Setiraris, Harry recognized that his evaluation of his inhumanity, Harry also felt a little empathy. After training, he clearly found that he was different from others.

It is also using magic power to strengthen the body. Harry's progress is almost three to five times that of theirs, and the effect is more than three to five times stronger. Qiu was the first to discover this. Her body does not quite reject the fusion with magic power. , the pain is also very low, and because of this, her progress is the fastest in the group, but it took her almost a month to temper the palms, and before Harry found the trick, he could only It took a little over a week.

As for strength, if Harry could crush a coconut, Qiu would probably only be able to crush a walnut. Although there was a factor of female strength being inherently weak, the gap was still obvious.

As the degree of completion of magic body training is getting higher and higher, Harry also feels that his five senses are being continuously strengthened. He can hear wider-area audio and softer sounds, and he can taste and smell himself eating. How many different spices are added to the food, and even the color recognition becomes more sensitive. It is not easy for boys to distinguish lipstick numbers, but Harry can see the same color number but different batches of lipsticks. nuance.

This made him feel that he was evolving more and more in the direction of inhumans, or superhumans. Humans paid too much for the evolution of intelligent brains. At this moment, he seemed to have found those who had been cut off once again. Ability.

He was very curious, curious about what inhuman changes had occurred in Setiraris, who was an awakened person, and what kind of changes made him say that he might not be a human being.

Hogwarts is very big, even if no one disturbs it, it is very difficult for Harry to visit the whole Hogwarts in one night. The castle seems to be no more than five or six hundred meters in length, width and diameter, but The interior space is so large that several castles the size of Hogwarts can be crammed in, and space magic such as the Untraceable Stretching Curse has been used to a very high level in this school.

If one day, Dumbledore suddenly wants to hold a full marathon in Hogwarts, the venue does not need to be moved to the grass outside the castle, and the students only need to run along the corridors around the outermost part of the castle. After a few laps, the race can be declared complete.

If this is not the case, the half-hour or even one-hour break between two classes is not just to leave enough time for people to go to the toilet, nor is the various convenient and fast secret passages popular at Hogwarts. For no reason.

The location indicated by the words conveyed by the fat monk is very clear. At the end of the corridor, there should be a decoration similar to a grandfather clock. To open this secret room, you need to enter the password related to the clock and the stars.

Although this was the arrangement a hundred years ago, Harry doesn't think it can't be found now. The decorations in Hogwarts have changed very little. Many of the decorative paintings and blankets hanging on the walls have not been touched for hundreds of years. Well, even if Hogwarts students traveled here thousands of years ago, they can easily identify the direction and path in the current Hogwarts Castle.

However, Harry was a little unlucky. During the two hours of purposeful wandering, he did not find the corresponding places and objects. He saw a few grandfather clocks, but none of them were the one he was looking for.

Fortunately, night tour students can always meet surprises around the corner.

Our cute and quirky Peeves had a surprise encounter with Harry in a very timely manner. Peeves was startled and ran away, although before he was still yelling "Big Brother, Big Brother", But no matter what kind of person Peeves is, it is a compromising of necessity and unwillingness.

Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Mr. Peeves can bend and stretch, which is nothing.

But Peeves definitely didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​having a second time with Harry, this guy could catch him! In the history of Hogwarts, this guy is the first bastard who caught himself from the sky with his bare hands! My mother has never done such an outrageous thing, wait, what? I Peeves was raised by nature, no mother? Oh, that's all right.

"What are you running for?"

Harry, who flew forward for several meters, stepped on the wall to use his strength, and directly pulled Peeves down from mid-air. He looked at Peeves with a half-smile, and said in a gentle and kind tone: "We Isn't it good friends, Peeves?"

"Brother Da Da Luo!"

After learning two and a half crows, Peeves squeezed out a very bright and sunny smile, and greeted Harry with an upbeat and cheerful voice.

"You are also basking in the moon, brother, the moon is really round tonight, I know a good place to bathe in the moonlight, how about I take you to see it?"

"Don't be so nervous, Peeves, I won't eat you again." Harry let go of his hand, and a caring black hand helped Peeves straighten his crooked hat.

After being silently soothed, Peeves really wasn't that nervous anymore, but the pose he posed with his thighs between his legs was a bit like the appearance of frequent urination and a blocked toilet. .

"I want to ask you something."

"No problem, leave it to me! I, Pippi, don't say anything else. I am very familiar with Hogwarts. I don't know much about those elves. Hogwarts know-it-all talks about me, Pippi." Big ghost, big, uh, big brother, you can ask whatever you want."

"Hey hey hey." Peeves rubbed his hands and said very eagerly. When he saw the satisfied smile on Harry's face, he asked cautiously: "Then can you let your brother go home and sleep? I I'm just worried that his dark circles are so heavy, he needs to get a good night's sleep and don't get tired."

Although silently restrained the chaotic and evil will that made up his body, when touched by silently, this pure dark power still made Peeves feel as if he had entered an ice cave, and his heart was pierced from the inside to the outside. Cool heart soared, that little heart almost jumped out.

"Anyway, the dark circles under the eyes have spread all over the body, it doesn't matter if you sleep or not." Harry glanced at his obedient and silent, Peeves is really a wonderful person, the dark circles are all out, "I asked One thing, I'll leave after asking."

"Say what you say, brother, tell me." Peeves said impatiently. If he had fine hair, he would have exploded into a hedgehog by now. He didn't want to spend any more time with Mo Ranran. .

"I need you to help me find a place. At the end of the corridor with the grandfather clock, Hogwarts is too big. It may take me several days or even a week to find it one by one. If you can help me with this , I promise he will go back to sleep obediently."

Harry pointed to Moran who was holding Peeves in his palm, but after hearing this question, Peeves didn't immediately jump up and lead the way. Of course he knew Hogwarts very well, a thousand years is enough for Peeves Peeves knew every corner of Hogwarts, but it was a bit difficult for Peeves to immediately find the place that corresponded to what Harry said.

"One hundred and two years ago, a Hufflepuff student named Setilares Skoggy should have been there many times. Do you have any impression of him?"

"Uh that's huh???"

Peeves suddenly widened his eyes, and looked straight at Harry, "How do you know that big fool cough cough... I mean, that handsome, personable, knowledgeable, humble and friendly gentleman name?"

Looking at Peeves' appearance, it is estimated that Setiraris played happy games with Peeves and made him happy.

In front of that murderous senior, Harry was as well-behaved as a good baby. He was a real boss who was stained with blood when he debuted, and suppressed the entire Forbidden Forest in an instant. He played games with Peeves, of course. It's also much more exciting than it is now.

Harry just looked at Peeves with a smile, and didn't say much. Under the eyes of this half-smile, Peeves, whose buttocks were on fire, was jumping up and down, leading the way graciously, and they passed through. Many corridors, climbed the stairs to the third floor of Hogwarts, and stopped at a remote corner.

"Here it is, brother."

Some peeves who were fidgeting pinched their clothes and showed a forced smile, "If you are talking about that gentleman, this is a good place."

Peeves pointed to the back of the wooden stairs at the corner, where a cabinet-like object could be vaguely seen.

"Thank you, Peeves, I'll play with you again when I'm free."

Peeves, who had been pardoned, jumped several meters in the blink of an eye, and flew away quickly without looking back, as if some scourge opened its mouth, intending to bite off half of his ass.

Although it was a bit dark here, and there were no windows to let the moonlight in, it was not gloomy at all. It seemed that the broken grandfather clock was not covered with too much dust. The regular cleaning of the elf kept the grandfather clock generally tidy.

The glass cover used to cover the hands of the clock is gone, maybe it was not installed in the first place or maybe, Harry moved the three pointers to the position of 12 o'clock, which is the "end and start time" of the day.

Looking down, there are several slightly faded five-pointed star patterns arranged regularly, and in the center of the star map, there are also three pointers of different lengths and thicknesses.

"Ten fifty-five minutes?" Harry fiddled with the pointer. "It seems that the senior is not a riddler who likes to give people difficult questions, which is great."

As the upper and lower sets of pointers came to the correct position, the gears that had been motionless began to bite and rotate at this moment, and there was the sound of the door lock popping open, but two or three seconds later, the grandfather clock popped open, revealing A wooden door hidden behind the precision gears.

Harry was a little nervous. He didn't know what kind of secrets were hidden behind the door, but just as he was about to reach out, a few strands of black and silver writing emerged on the wooden door. These were words composed of magic power. It was exactly the same color as the one Harry had seen in the Forbidden Forest.

"Knock three times and push in from the other side of the doorknob."

After reading this line of magic messages that ordinary wizards couldn't see at all, Harry understood why the senior was not worried about the fat monk finding the wrong person, as long as he couldn't see the magic power of the awakened person and didn't open the door in the right way, Maybe the room behind the door is different.

But Harry didn't move immediately, instead he took a few steps back, Jean Momo stepped forward, knocked lightly on the door three times, and pushed the door inward from what should have been a wooden door leaf.

"Luminescence flickering."

A ball of light flew in, illuminating the space behind the wooden door, silently pushed the door of the secret room completely open, and then stepped inside.

It's no wonder that Harry acted a little too cautiously, that senior was a ruthless character who killed people without blinking an eye. Although the people he killed were indeed not fun, but in the history of the wizarding world, he can be regarded as an excellent character to some extent. Executioner, his mother Lily seems to know something about Setiraris Skoggi, but Lily doesn't like him, or at least doesn't like some of his behavior.

The ghost knows if this guy will dig a hole for the latecomers. The small group of awakened wizards has never said "kissing the family". They are also human, but they will show a special "extreme" in some aspects , everyone's different tendencies of Awakener's magic power is a very good proof.

Harry didn't doubt that Lily had discovered some of the records left by Setiraris when she was at Hogwarts. Perhaps because of this, Lily on the lawful good side had a great deal of respect for Setiraris on the lawful evil side. I don't like it very much, but if Lily knows that her son is chaotic and evil, then dozens of rattan sticks will probably have to be broken.

Harry is really proud of her, she can complete the feat of leaving a name in history with hard work, but according to the nature of chaos and evil, leaving a name in history will most likely become a well-loved infamy.

But Harry never wanted to be a serious good person in his life. A good person is easily bullied, but to be a bad person, as long as you are the worst, there will be no villains to torture you.

Pathfinder silently and carefully searched around the room, there were no traps, no traps, just a big empty room inside, without any decorations.

Harry, who let down his mind a little, came out of the room silently, and then turned into a pitch-black cloak to wrap his body tightly. He stepped through the wooden door and came into this empty room.

But what he saw was completely different from what he saw silently.

One wall of the room seemed to be made of crystal, reflecting Harry's body, and in the middle of the empty house, there was a black and silver vortex slowly expanding outward.

This is a familiar scene.
