A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 145: Practical lesson (3) key
All the Ravenclaw students laughed.
One of the girls said without hesitation: "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings."
They quickly lined up in the correct order, and in the dazzling light, the runes on them disappeared, replaced by a string of gorgeous and elegant English words shining on the wall: "Witbeyondmeasureisman, sgreatesttreasure."
"That's right! That's it, this wall clearly represents Ravenclaw, and the other three walls..." Percy said excitedly.
"Represents the other three colleges!"
Everyone thought of this.
Under the guidance of this kind of thinking, the runes on the other three walls have also been deciphered one after another——
"Courage and fearlessness are my best friends." This is Godric Gryffindor's famous quote.
"Tough and honest, upright and loyal." This is what people say about Hufflepuff.
"Be with honor, and be with strength." This is what a famous Slytherin wizard in history said.
On the four walls, four lines of writing were shining brightly. Everyone held their breath subconsciously. Sure enough, the writing on the wall disappeared.
In the darkness, only the light from the wands in their hands acted as a light source, and these unobtrusive lights illuminated their excited faces.
An ordinary door appeared, as if it had always been there, and the students walked through it.
There is only one table inside, and on the table is a book manuscript, the name is: "An Important Manuscript".
Jeffrey turned to the first page, which read: "Collect all four keys, you can get out of here." Other than that, it was blank
He snorted, "Do we still need the key? Just push the door open and we'll be out..." He stopped talking suddenly, as if he was choking on his saliva. A layer of sweat quickly broke out on his face, "I, can we still find the door of the classroom?"
Looking at each other, Percy said to the air, "Professor Haipu...are you there, Professor Haipu?"
No response.
"It seems that we have to collect all the keys." Wood scratched his head, "But where are they?"
"Of course it's east, south, west, and north. Remember the runes we saw in the tombstones?" Percy said to Penello.
"You mean...that story!"
"That's right." Percy said loudly, the tip of his nose flushed slightly with excitement, "The text on the tombstone records the information of this place, but there is actually another thing, which is one of the keys."
Then, the students of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw took out the parchments they had recorded before and arranged them as needed.
"I'm 3-1 here, who has 3-2?"
"I am in front of you, I am 1-7."
They glued the parchments on the wall in order and looked at them carefully: "Obviously, ten are a group, a total of four groups."
"The first group is to introduce the background of the operation in 1842, which is similar to what Professor Haipu said..."
"It doesn't matter," Jeffrey said.
Percy rolled his eyes and continued: "The second group introduced the terrain of this place, which is very simple, including the safe house in the center."
"The third and fourth groups are the troubles encountered by the staff of the Ministry of Magic at that time. Oh, although the concealment magic has failed, other protective measures are still working. Look here, one of the defenses is a large number of infernal corpses, which is what we met Little Skull..."
"That's really evil! Why didn't the Ministry of Magic arrest him?"
"Oh, I think maybe it's because they haven't had time to form the Ministry of Magic..."
…
"What are the other defenses?"
"Voltebat, Enchanted Stone Statue, and Devil's Vine," Percy said, pointing to the writing on it.
"Very good~ It seems that we have to deal with similar things," Wood said: "The infernal corpse corresponds to the small skeleton, and it seems that there are similar substitutes in other places, but what I want to ask is, is the Voldebat What?"
"A rather rare magical creature that looks like a black cloak that slithers on the ground and hunts at night. Some say they are close relatives of dementors, and besides their similar appearance, they are both cursed by the Patronus Restraint," Percy said.
"Is there anyone here who can take the Patronus Charm?" Wood asked.
No hand was raised.
Percy revealed part of the truth: "That's not the exam, Wood. No one would spend a lot of time learning a powerful spell that they don't need."
Penello recalled: "Dean Flitwick mentioned this spell in class. I tried it a few times, and there was only some white mist. If someone guides..."
"But Voldebat is quite a dangerous creature. The professor won't let us deal with it. I guess we will encounter a crow's nest then?" Percy speculated, but he believed that it was more than likely.
"Stop the small talk, where do we start?" Jeffrey said.
"Tombstone group, we are most familiar with it, it can save time."
"Very good."
As they walked out of the safe house, Percy put his wand flat on his palm and whispered to it, "Show me the way."
A whirl of the wand designated his right hand, which was north.
"So we're going in the opposite direction, and we're going back to the tombstones," Percy said to everyone.
They returned to the group of tombstones again, and the Slytherin and Hufflepuff students pointed at the black stone tombstone in amazement.
"Look, the skeleton bones have turned into stones." Wood reminded.
The students of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw discovered that the little skeletons that had been scattered all over the place had all turned into broken stones.
"It's a very clever transfiguration, we didn't see it at all at the time." A wizard picked up a stone ~IndoMTL.com~ and looked at it carefully.
A Ravenclaw girl said sadly: "I even hugged it, it looks cute."
Percy looked at her strangely, he pulled Penello and whispered, "Is she always like this?"
"She's a fan of magic puppets," Penello explained.
"Okay, let's search separately, it shouldn't be too difficult..."
After seven or eight minutes, a Hufflepuff student found a golden key in a stone.
"Where did you find it?"
Glover pointed to the broken stone not far away, Wood's eyes widened, "That's the little skeleton that attacked me, I kept it specially! I didn't expect the key to be hidden in its head .”
"Very well, we have completed a quarter of the progress, and we will continue to work harder..." Percy was about to give a few words of encouragement when the Slytherin prefect Jeffrey walked over holding a box.
"What is this?"
"A treasure map," Jeffrey said.
"How can there be such a thing?" Percy's mind was in a mess, and the students gathered together, looking at the blueprints in the box.
The mark on it is very simple. In the southeast direction of the safe house, there is a pattern of a bottle, and next to it is a rune mark representing wealth.
At this moment, there was a muffled thunder-like sound in the sky——
"It seems that you are having a good time... But I have to regret to inform you that this unexpected journey is temporarily over. Take your things and follow the guidance to get out of here."
An arrow appears at their feet.
Ten minutes later, they returned to the ancient rune classroom, with dazed and dazed expressions on their faces.
"That's right, Jeffrey." Felix said: "The homework for this class is to analyze the runes you encounter and complete a paper that is no less than one foot long."
