Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

The light of the three wands is insignificant in endless darkness and devours them in the middle of the night.

Until Ivan's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, he could see the enormous black fortress in front of him.

This so-called Owl Fortress, a tall and majestic granite building sits quietly on a cliff above the valley and looks down on the visitor in a dignified manner, as if it were crashing. The original builders of the castle chose such a dangerous place to magically blend the entire fortress with the cliffs.

It's a miracle that people who see can't help it.

There is no doubt that such a miracle, while shocking, produces unknown awe from the depths of one's heart.

The gigantic fortress is fortified by magic, and the central tower heights protrude, strangely without windows.

The walls are crawled with strange vines, wrapped tightly around them, and misintersected with huge stones, forming the main outline of the castle.

A mysterious atmosphere surrounds it, with an evil and unclear aura, and those who gaze at it quickly divert their gaze.

“This ancient castle is under a lot of protective spells and only a wizard can find it. It is a very famous magical landscape of Dijon.” Elena said, looking at the distant fortress, "I've seen in there before, thousands of transparent owl ghosts watching you quietly, shady, uncomfortable, as if something bad was about to happen. ”

“Well, go check it out!” Evan said he was able to clearly sense the magic, the unknown power.

The three of them appeared at the entrance of the castle in a phantom form.

The door was closed by boulders, but the wall next to it was rudely opened with an irregular mouth for access.

Along this entrance, three uninvited visitors entered the castle.

Inside is a huge square lobby with nothing but all kinds of garbage piled up on the ground. For hundreds of years, the fortress has been visited by visitors with a variety of purposes, and what is valuable in it has long been looted.

“This place is far more desolate than I had thought it would be..." Sirius said, gauging around.

“All the way from top to bottom, there's nothing bald about it, nobody knows what it's like here, and those greedy guys have been robbing this castle for a long time, leaving nothing behind.” Elena went on to explain, "They don't care if there's a curse on what's in there, just if it's worth it, and what's left of it has been moved to a museum in Paris by the Ministry of Magic. ”

In Europe, there are many abandoned castles like this, standing quietly on the field floor as a testament to past history.

If the owners of the castles had money, they might be protected as monuments or reused as private resorts or hotels or something.

If they were left alone, they would be so desolate that the Muggle Government would spend part of the year maintaining the castle to ensure that it did not collapse, but the Ministry of Magic did not.

Having a castle is a huge burden, and it's no exception to the declining family of pureblood wizards.

In addition to that huge estate, the Malfoy family is said to have such an ancient castle in one part of England, run by dozens of family breeders, but the pureblood wizards like them are, after all, only a few.

“There's nothing here, but it's a big place, and owl monsters are hiding here, and it's really hard to find, and we don't have enough people to search the entire fort at the same time..." Elena said.

“I'm sure it'll come out, come out and look for us.” Ivan keeps asking, “Where are the owl ghosts? ”

“Oh, you'll see them, they don't usually show up near the door.” Elena swayed the wand, and the wand had a stronger light at its end, lowering her voice, and said, "Those owl ghosts are definitely not as simple as they seem, how can they be, like humans, acting on human trajectories, which is strange, isn't it? Well, if you want to go to the dungeon, I remember going this way, and there's a passage to the basement in the kitchen, and I was just looking up a long way. ”

They went straight through the doorway, not up the stairs, but seven turns and eight turns into the basement in a narrow passage on the ground floor.

This feeling reminds Ivan of the maze and never determines what awaits them behind a closed door.

When they came through the dark tunnel to the kitchen, Ivan finally saw the owls.

Their bodies appear clear milky white, as Elena said, and instead of flying in the air like normal owls or looking for food or something, they stand still on the ground, like humans.

They operate according to the habits and trajectories in front of them, with a faint sadness on their tiny faces.

After Ivan, Sirius and Elena entered the kitchen, the owls did not approach them, but watched them quietly.

This feels really uncomfortable.

“See, that's why I don't like this place. I've seen ghosts, but I've never seen ghosts like them.” Elena whispered, scared to shock them, "We'd better be careful, I can feel that they can understand us. ”

“It's kind of weird, I've never seen anything like this before, and they have magical fluctuations, like a kind of soul magic, which reminds me of what I saw in an ancient magic book before...” Ivan said.

He thought about it, walking towards his nearest owl, ready to experiment with the magic he saw.

“What the hell is going on with this kid?” Elena looked behind Ivan and said to Sirius, "It's strange, he seems to know a lot of magic. By the way, what exactly are you going to do, run around with such a little wizard..."

Sirius did not speak, did not return to the other side of the question, did not even look at Elena.

In his eyes, this woman is definitely not a qualified arrogant.

Although her personal strength is good and she looks beautiful, her personality is too casual and she doesn't have a brain. What she doesn't understand is caution. She said too much along the way and told Ivan almost everything.

I told you everything you had to say.

If they were black wizards like Death Eaters, this woman would be in bad luck!

Moody's initial warning had clearly been thoroughly forgotten by her, is she seriously an Auror?!

Listen to Elena's constant words, Sirius has an urge to clog her mouth with something...
