The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 299 The Secret Path
"Okay, Mr. Chris! Please don't make such jokes."

Professor McGonagall's face changed slightly, and his hands were a little at a loss.

The final endings of her two love affairs were not good, one ended without a cause, and the other two only walked together for three years.Her husband, Elphinstone, died accidentally after being bitten by a venomous tentacle.

She has no children, and she has devoted all her energy to her work for decades. Perhaps in the eyes of the professor, all the little wizards are her children, but Melda was the first to tell her clearly.

Professor McGonagall's hands trembled slightly, and she was reluctant to meet Melda's eyes, because those eyes full of frustration would move her.

She just stretched out her hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Go back!"

The bell above the head rang in Xiaojing. In the long corridor, everyone was moving forward, only the boy on the steps was still standing there.

Time seemed to stop on him.

He looked into the distance lonely, but no one looked at him.

"What are you looking at?"

Suddenly behind Melda, Hermione walked over holding a lot of books and materials.

Unlike Ron and the others, she wasn't wearing her regular clothes.She was still wearing the black robe.

Melda, by contrast, was wearing a sweater, woven from coarse cashmere, with a red top and brown bottom.

There is a huge English word P on the chest.

It can be seen that this sweater is a bit small, and the cuffs are obviously raised.Because this is last year's dress.It was given to him by Mrs Weasley last Christmas.

"I'm looking at them so stupid. They are obviously going to give money to others, and they are so happy."

On the last day of October, in late autumn, there were only dead leaves in the garden.

The undulating stone brick floor is covered with withered and yellow grass, and even the fountain is a little weak.

For some reason, Melda suddenly felt that there seemed to be a white mist in the originally clear eyes, which made all the brilliance in front of her eyes dim.

Hermione, who was holding the manuscript, drew out her wand, shrunk all the books in her hand, and then put them into her waist pocket, which was cast with the infinite stretching spell.

After looking around for a while.Then she gently took his hand and leaned her body towards him.

This is the first time she has been so proactive.

Melda also responded, holding her hand tightly.It was as if the color came back to his eyes again.

"Oh! It seems that I came at the wrong time!"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind the two of them, and the two children who were clinging to each other quickly turned around. Hermione was more like a frightened rabbit, trying to withdraw her hand in a hurry.

Melda didn't let her succeed, though.

Professor Lupine walked towards them with smiles all over his eyes. After approaching, he said, "It's nice to be young!"

"Professor, why are you here?" Melda asked curiously.

It was the first time he had such close contact with Professor Lupine.

This is a man who has been devastated by life, he knows it, and he can see it.

The marks of the three-knife beast on the professor's face indicate that he has an unforgettable pain. Melda can even think that every time he looks in the mirror, he will think of that unbearable memory.

He was wearing a brown robe that was somewhat whitish after washing, as well as a brown suit. Inadvertently, Melda noticed that his cuffs had some other colors that were difficult to conceal.

Being able to resist the traces of magical cleaning is not something that can be encountered simply by walking in Diagon Alley.

"I think some two young guys seem to need a little help." Professor Lupine blinked at the two of them, then turned his head and said, "Come with me!"

After Melda and Hermione looked at each other, the doubt they saw in each other's eyes was just out of trust in the professor.They still chose to follow Professor Lupine.

A group of people walked along the corridor and returned to Hogwarts Castle again.

From the entrance hall, pass the auditorium and continue on the right.Then go through the spiral staircase to the third floor.

Eventually stopped in the Gunhilda Corridor in Gosmoor.

Professor Lupine smiled mysteriously and said, "Look at that!"

He lowered his head and pointed to a statue in the corridor.

It was a statue that looked very old, and it must have been in that place for some time, accumulating a lot of dust.

Overall it looks like a statue of a one-eyed, hunchbacked witch.

"You two, clean the statue here today!"

Professor Lu Ping said with a smile, and then walked away.

"???"

Both Melda and Hermione felt a strong sense of absurdity.They were called here from the vestibule far away by the professor, just to clean this dirty statue?
"Professor Lupine..." Hermione frowned, and couldn't help but lose her impression of this seemingly loyal professor.

Melda, on the other hand, looked at the professor who was drifting away in the distance with some dumbfounding.

Just now, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a secret passage on the third floor of Hogwarts, directly leading to the Honeydukes Candy Store.

George and Fred had told him, in the Gunhilda corridor in Gosmoor, on the third floor of the castle.There is a statue of a hunched one-eyed witch, just tap the statue with your wand and say the 'separate left and right' spell.The witch's hump opens automatically, revealing a stone slide.

That's the secret way to Honeydukes.

However, it was all in the second grade when the twins told him, if Professor Lupine hadn't brought him here, he really couldn't remember it.

However, the professor is really good, just say this kind of thing directly, why do you have to be a riddler and go around in circles?
"Actually, there is a secret passage here! I suddenly remembered that Fred had told me about it."

Melda smiled awkwardly, and then pulled Hermione to the back of the hunchbacked one-eyed witch statue.

Pull out the wand and tap the statue lightly, and chant: "Left and right are separated."

With the slight sound of stone wear, a black hole about twenty inches leaked out.

"Fluorescent flashes!"

The tip of Melda's wand, a bright light, fell into the cave, and with the help of the light, the two of them saw clearly what was going on inside.

It was a slide, and it was very clean.

It seems that George and Fred have used it a lot.Otherwise, it should be ashes.

"It really is here."

Melda didn't know much about these Hogwarts secret passages, and George and Fred were the masters in this regard.

He knew that there were many secret passages leading to various places in the castle, but he didn't know exactly where they were, except that the secret room was closely related to the main story, so he could remember it so clearly.
