Hogwarts Advanced Guide

Chapter 174 The Recurring Crisis

"That voice again—don't talk yet—"

"I'm so hungry I really want to eat."

"Damn it, it's the same voice from the previous attacks!" Hera said urgently, he could clearly feel that the voice behind him was getting closer, and he was about to catch up with them.

"Harry heard that voice too!" Hermione was in Hera's arms, she only heard the hissing sound, she didn't hear the voice like Hera did, but it reminded her of the voice Harry had described before.

Hera didn't care to respond to Hermione, they rushed up to the third floor, they made a loud sound of footsteps in the corridor, and the portrait looked at them curiously, complaining that Hera disturbed their rest.

But Hera couldn't care about it right now, he ran directly to the door of his office, opened the door roughly, and rushed in with Hermione in his arms.

"Hera, can you still hear that voice?" Hermione asked carefully and softly.She had already come down from Hera's arms, and Hera was leaning against the door panel panting heavily, carrying Hermione all the way from the foyer to the third floor, which really exhausted him a bit.

"Wait." Hera panted heavily, leaning his ear against the door panel.

"Killer. Killer. Heir." The voice seemed to be in the corridor, and it seemed to be searching for Hera.

"Haven't left yet, don't worry." Hera said, "The best thing we can do now is to wait for the guys outside to leave, and then we will go to Professor Dumbledore."

Hermione stood on tiptoe, trying to get closer to Hera, and she also wanted to hear the voice.

But she had just stood on tiptoe, and immediately caught Hera's attention, and she glanced coldly at Hermione.

"Hera, yours..." Hermione couldn't help taking a small step back, her pupils trembled, as if she saw something extremely terrifying.

"What's wrong?" Hera frowned, he didn't understand why Hermione was still like this at this time.

"No—nothing."

Hera leaned against the door for nearly 10 minutes, and Hermione almost fell asleep sitting on the chair, before he slowly moved away from the door.

"It seems that I won't be able to go out for a short time." Hera sighed, and gently pulled away the chair behind the desk.

"Hera?" Hermione woke up from the chair, rubbing her sleepy eyes and asked, "Did the guy outside leave?"

"Not yet," Hera rubbed her legs, and kept standing at the door in one posture, her legs were a little numb. "Perhaps you may spend the night here tonight."

"What the hell is that monster out there?" Hermione put her arms around her shoulders, terrified.

"I don't know." Hera got up and went to the bedroom to get a blanket and threw it to Hermione. Before he had time to light the fire, the office was a bit cold. "I forgot, the fire was not even lit."

Hera raised her wand and pointed it at the empty fireplace, and the fire immediately ignited in the furnace.

"Wouldn't it be better this way?" said Hera, pulling up a chair and sitting down by the fire.

"Yeah." Hermione nodded, covering herself with the blanket.

"I'm sorry, we have never been able to determine who opened the chamber of secrets, and we couldn't even subdue the monster in the chamber of secrets, which caused you to encounter this situation on the first day you were discharged from the hospital." Hera said without apology, after all, even Professor Dumbledore could not find it.No matter how you say it, you can't blame him.

"Nothing, I think the professors must have worked hard." Hermione sat up from her chair and said firmly.

"."

"."

Immediately afterwards, there was a moment of silence, as if the two of them had no topic to talk about, probably because they had talked too much in the school hospital, so now there is no topic to talk about at all.

"By the way, Hera, house-elves are fine." Hermione seemed to have thought of something suddenly, which startled Hera.

Hera said impatiently, "Hermione, I know that you may not be able to accept this fact because of the education you received. But this is the wizarding world, and house-elves are enslaved in the wizarding world, and this is already a pretty good result for them. Your grades have always been very good, and you must be aware of the elves' several rebellious wars, which have caused great harm to the wizarding world, no less than the Dark Lord."

"Hmm." Hermione frowned, "I think what I mean is, if the house-elf can apparate in the castle, let it inform Professor Dumbledore, wouldn't it be good to just grab that monster in the corridor?"

"."

Hera pursed her lips, and played tricks with the wand in her hand, "Aha, I actually thought of it a long time ago."

"Oh~ really?" Hermione squinted at Hera, she wouldn't believe Hera's nonsense!
Apparently he just forgot!

Quietly waiting for Hera to finish arranging tasks for Cowper, Hermione sat obediently aside, put both feet on the chair, and hugged her legs tightly, as if this could keep her warmer.

"Sir, Mr. Dumbledore said he would come right away," Cowper said with a bow.

"Hmm." Hera nodded indifferently.

Hermione smiled at it and said kindly, "Thank you, Cowper."

Cowper shivered subconsciously, and didn't even respond to Hermione, as if she was carrying some deadly toxins on her body, and even just communicating would infect him, and left the office directly.

After waiting for about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Hera? Are you in there with Miss Granger?"

It was Dumbledore's voice.

"Are you Dumbledore?" Hera stood up abruptly, but did not rush to open the door, but instead questioned Dumbledore's identity at the door.

"Of course I am Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore." The voice outside the door was somewhat helpless, and Hera could hear him sighing heavily.

But nothing can dispel Hera's doubts. At this moment, the safety hazard in the corridor has not been resolved. Who knows if Dumbledore is really outside! ?
"Tell me a secret from Dumbledore."

Dumbledore outside was at a loss for words, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across the half-moon-shaped lenses.

"How could you know my secret?"

"It seems to be the same." Hera thought for a while, and what the people outside said made sense.

It's a pity that the Hogwarts room door doesn't have peepholes, which doesn't allow him to easily confirm the identity of the outsiders.

"Then tell me about the relationship between 'you' and Grindelwald." Hera lowered her voice, and he didn't intend to let Hermione hear it.

"An old enemy."

"Okay, you're fake Dumbledore, give up." Hera said loudly, and Hermione's attention was also attracted, or her attention was always on this side.

The people outside seemed to be shocked by these words. Just as Hera was about to leave the door and continue to wait for the 'real' Hogwarts to arrive, a small voice suddenly came from outside, sounding a little aggrieved.

"We used to be"
