Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 699: Forward and Backward

At Hogwarts, one thing is almost universally recognized by the little wizards, and that is the fact that "Magic History lessons are extremely boring."

However, even so, it is still one of the required courses at Hogwarts.

For thousands of years, there have been many magic courses that have changed again and again with the advancing of the times, but the history of magic has always remained on the students' curriculum, even if it has not been cancelled for a day.

If you have to ask "why", Maca McLean, who likes this course very much, may tell you-history can answer your doubts.

Just like a certain problem, it has plagued many Hogwarts students and even professors.

They don't understand why the founder of Hogwarts chose such a distinct branch of teaching.Some people think it is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, others think it is to cultivate a sense of competition, and some even say that this is simply a mistake left by the discord between the founders.

However, these people actually think too much.

Because you only need to turn to the ninth chapter of "Hogwarts: A School History" to know that Hogwarts is always one.And the spirit advocated by each college is essentially the same.

Going forward bravely like Gryffindor may help you reach your destination; but sometimes if you choose to step back calmly like Slytherin, it may not necessarily mean you are one step away from your goal.

Although few students would be interested in this inconspicuous truth, the book "A History of Hogwarts" is only a few little wizards who will keep in mind.But coincidentally, Ens, who was theoretically impossible to read this kind of book, had read it several times carefully because of the relationship between Slytherin and Hufflepuff's secret room.

"...Calm down," Ensi secretly said to himself in the crowd, "think about it, what is the best thing I should do now...?"

As Shen Xin thought silently, his pace also slowed down.At present, Fang Malfoy's back became farther and farther away, and when he was finally completely overwhelmed by the flow of people, he suddenly turned and walked back.

"Secret room! Slytherin's secret room! Now that he is gone, isn't that the best time for me to go to the secret room to find out?" Ensi said in his heart as he walked through the crowd, "I hope he hasn't given it there. destroyed--"

Returning all the way from near the gate of the school, I took a flying broom like last time on the way so that I could return safely.

Before long, Ensi, who was careful to avoid other people's sight, went to the girls' bathroom on the second floor of the castle.

This time the crying Myrtle didn't seem to be here, but without some unnecessary delay, he quickly followed the pipe under the sink to the secret room deep underground in the castle.

"That's right... If I change, I'm afraid I will do the same..."

In fact, he had already thought of this possibility after returning home last night.It’s just that you can’t be reconciled if you don’t come here to see with your own eyes, right?

That's right, Ensi saw it at this moment-behind the previous wall, there was indeed a "secret room in a secret room".Unfortunately, it can only be called a "ruin in the ruins" now.

Behind the hard rock wall where a large hole was smashed, there were traces of destruction everywhere in that small space.Scraps of wooden planks, scraps of paper sheets, and brick waste everywhere, even the walls of the stone room were covered with spider-web cracks.

It can be seen that it is a trace of being smashed by a certain force.

"Repair as before!"

Standing in front of the gap in the stone wall, Ensi waved his wand and cast a repair spell, but the spell did not produce the effect it should have.He didn't know whether this was his lack of ability, or whether the things here really did not have the possibility of being restored to their original state.

With the light from the magic wand glowing curse, Ensi saw some pages of paper under the bricks, and he walked in without giving up.He wanted to try to see if he could use his own hands to spell out an answer that should have belonged to him by using these pieces of paper that might contain important information.

"Uh……"

He had just picked up a fragment of a page on the ground, before he even continued to exert his force, the fragment turned into dry fines between his fingers.

"...Draco Malfoy!"

Ens, who was growing more anger at Malfoy for the completely rotten piece of paper, didn't know that the books and papers originally placed here had long been invalidated by preservation magic, and rotted along with the times.

But at this moment, countless green light spots suddenly spewed out of the cracked brick wall behind him, and hovered silently around him.

These tiny spots of light are like countless fireflies, and they look unusually beautiful.

And while Ensi was astonished by this sudden and wonderful sight, they flew away quickly, covering this heavily damaged stone room with a pale green phantom that seemed to be true.

After a while, Ensi was stunned to find that everything in the stone room seemed to be restored to their original appearance.Because the light spots are now integrated, the original furnishings of the stone room are reproduced in the form of similar images.

The desks, cabinets, tapestries, and hangers, except for these images with a layer of greenery, everything seemed to really appear in Ens's vision.

He looked around, then raised his head suddenly, and a large map hung on the wall above the desk looked exceptionally clear.It can be said that these images look much clearer and more stable than when Maca injected magic power to start it.

Yes, in fact, everything that Maca did when he came here to look for clues in the past was wrong.Only passing the Slytherin test like Enns did last night is the right way to activate these images.

Of course, there is no correct way to say it now, whether it is Ens, Malfoy or Maca.After all, this place was exposed after being extremely brutally "tipped" by Maca from the very beginning. No matter how you think, this can't be the original intention of Salazar Slytherin.

"this is……"

Ensi, who was attracted by that ancient map, just glanced at it and started to have a headache again, because he couldn't understand the text on it again.

Hufflepuff’s letter last time was a variant of the ancient Rune, but now on this map, it is obviously another ancient text symbol.Seriously, if not necessary, he really doesn't want to smash with some ancient text translation dictionary.

"Ugh……"

Fortunately, after he cast his head happily and depressed, and then cast his gaze on the map for a while, a red circle that was rather conspicuous in the light green drew his attention.

Even if he can't actually understand a word, but since the prompt is so clear at a glance, what reason does he have to complain?

Ens pressed the irritability in his heart, and firmly imprinted the position of the red circle and the characters on the side in his mind. After the phantom in the stone room gradually dissipated, he quickly left. This real Slytherin secret room.

The map is clearly marked, and the details are also easy to understand. He can understand that the location should be in a mountain range.As long as he moves the original thing in his memory onto the paper, and then checks and compares it, he will be able to quickly find its general location.

As for the troubles and rewards in that place, I won’t know until there... No, to be precise, he might have to find a way to get Malfoy first.

"That guy must have gone to find that place..." Ensi had to feel anxious while walking towards the library. "There is too much time difference, I am afraid it will be too late... after all. , Now I, should I really compete with that Malfoy for that Slytherin gift?"

This is undoubtedly a very realistic problem-when the huge gap in strength is clearly before his eyes, all he can choose is to escape in the same embarrassment as last night, and he may not even be able to successfully escape every time.

As he walked, Ensi stopped again.

...

"Professor McLean, the second round of today's competition is about to begin. Father asked me to inform you."

While Maca was still chatting with Harry and others in the staff lounge, Sarah knocked on the door of the room.

Although he actually wanted to relax again, the event was still very important after all, and he had to get up and prepare to leave.

"Let's go! Although there is no way to take you all to the front seats to watch the game, the content of today's event should be much more interesting than yesterday. Let's go and see!"

After raising the fun of the competition to Mr. Hornheim and other members of the jury, as he said, today’s second round of competition will be more enjoyable.It's just that the questions are all about the jury, so even he doesn't know what the questions will be today.

Considering that yesterday's first round of competition has already eliminated many players, the average level of the remaining participants has naturally increased by a large margin, so even Maca can't help but look forward to it again.

A few minutes later, Maca, Harry and others talked to each other at the entrance of the arena, and walked to their positions to wait for the game to start.

"After the fierce competition of the players yesterday, we have already bid farewell to the brothers and sisters who have worked hard on this field. Believe me, their hard work will not be in vain, and the remaining players will take their will and Determined, keep moving forward..."

In the middle of the arena, Lockhart, as the host, is still in high spirits.The lines that popped out of his mouth were equally passionate, and as always there was no truth.

"This role is really suitable for him." Maca couldn't help but chuckle from the sidelines.
