Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3072 Libator ([-])
The wind blows through the valley, making a whining sound, and the dew-stained grass seems to be fiddled with by an invisible hand, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun, just like the sweat of athletes on the Quidditch field.

"This map doesn't seem to show all the places in the castle, such as the secret room." Sirius Black, who was still a boy, said looking at the map.

"That's just a legend. No one knows if it really exists." Pomona also looked at the map and said.

"No, I believe it is real." Sirius shook his head, "It's just that the later discoverers hid the entrance again."

"What? Why?" Pomona asked in surprise.

"In order to enjoy the secret treasure inside." Sirius said expressionlessly.

"Isn't it because it's too dangerous?" Pomona lowered his voice, "I heard that there is a basilisk guarding it."

"Do you believe it or not?" Sirius frowned impatiently.

Pomona chuckled.

Sirius looked at her inexplicably, as if he didn't understand why girls liked "rumors" so much.

———————————————————————————————————

Pomona followed Dexter to the History of Magic classroom, but it didn't enter the classroom, but took her to a small platform outside the classroom.

There are many such flashy decorations in the castle. There are many oil paintings on the wall of this platform, and some "historical exhibits" on the opposite side, such as the horns collected during the goblin rebellion. It was found broken and stuffed with cheese.

Pomona looked back at Dexter, who had been sniffing around the wall.

"You want to go to the bathroom, right?" Pomona asked.

"Woof!" Dexter sat on the ground, wagging his tail and grinning like he was smiling.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?" Pomona asked again.

"Woof!" Dexter yelled again.

But Pomona wasn't sure if it really got it.

She took out the wand and used "Prototype Immediately Revealed", but there was no reaction from the surroundings.

"What are you doing?" said Barnaby.

Pomona looked back to see that all three of them had come, but Hagrid was nowhere to be seen.

"When was the last time you took him to the toilet?" Pomona asked Barnaby.

"What?" asked Banaby, confused.

Pomona pointed to Dexter sitting on the ground. "It looks like it found something."

Everyone gathered around Dexter, and he suddenly became the "star" that everyone was watching.

But it seems dumb...

"Filch's cat is much smarter than him," Tonks couldn't help saying.

"Or Professor Lynn's monkey," Cooper said.

"I'm sorry about that," said Barnaby angrily. "Perhaps you could raise a smarter one of your own."

Professor Binns' voice came through the open door. It made people drowsy just listening to it. Everyone sitting in the classroom was probably asleep.

Tonks couldn't help yawning.

People who went on a night tour the night before often catch up on sleep in history class.

Pomona forced open her nearly closed eyes, trying to stay awake.

"Could there be a secret passage behind this?" Cooper said, and reached out to touch the wall.

The wall is solid and not passable like the entrance behind the one-eyed witch.

"Where are you?"

Everyone was shocked, and then the students looked around vigilantly.

"Am I hallucinating?" Barnaby said nervously. "I heard Snape's voice."

Pomona suddenly remembered the two-way mirror in her pocket... What excuse did she have to slip.

"I heard that too," Cooper said.

"You said Filch was on patrol too?" Tonks said.

"Yes," Pomona said dryly.

"Going?" asked Barnaby.

"No, I have a better idea." Cooper looked at the open history classroom and said, "Let's go in."

Then the three students entered the History of Magic classroom and "pretended to be asleep". Pomona followed them to the door, but instead of entering the classroom, he found a hidden place and took out the double-sided mirror.

Snape's face was reflected in the mirror, his face looked uglier than usual.

"Where are you?" he asked again.

"We may find a hidden secret passage near the History of Magic classroom," Pomona said, "but we don't know how to get in."

Snape thought.

"Do you still remember that Felius talked about the school's defense against magic?" Pomona took advantage of this moment to say, "Can it defend against giants?"

He frowned.

"Before Salazar Slytherin left the school, the founders fought in the Giant Wars."

"Slytherin was one of the founders too," he said dryly.

"What I want to say is that they did not use defensive magic circles during the Giant War. The founders chose this place to build the school because of the strange magical power here." Pomona added, "Later people continued to study how to use it. Its power led to the current defensive magic."

"I remember that," Snape said. "Felius said it was a rumour."

"Let's assume that there was a department dedicated to the study of this mysterious power in ancient times, such as an alchemy classroom, and its entrance was hidden behind a sleeping dragon sculpture." Pomona said. "We have found a similar entrance now."

He was silent.

"I heard...the school has studied how to cultivate 'moonstone' artificially." Pomona said.

"Where did you hear that?" he asked.

"Professor Binns," said Pomona, frustrated. "I asked him after class."

He looked at her silently.

That look seemed to be probing what kind of nerd would be so interested in a history lesson taught by a ghost.

She thought feebly, and actually wanted to cover her face and cry like Myrtle.

"Do you know how to get in?" Snape asked.

"I'm not sure," Pomona said.

"Try it and you'll know!" He said fiercely.

"Don't be so fierce~" Pomona said timidly, wanting to throw the mirror in her hand.

He gritted his teeth for a moment, then hooked a false smile.

"Try it, please," he said kindly.

"I'm not sure……"

"Try it!"

Pomona pouted, and returned to the small platform just now.

"Lunars," she said softly.

The end of the wand emits a very soft light, which looks a lot like fluorescent flashes.

"It worked?" Snape asked.

"No." Pomona said. "Maybe I was wrong."

"Probably because it is daytime and Miss Wharton disappeared at night," Snape said.

"Shall we come back tonight then?" Pomona said.

"Dumbledore has agreed, and all students will be evacuated tonight," Snape said.

This time Pomona didn't say "I'm not sure."

"What are you thinking?" he asked patiently.

"Do you think the sound of a whale could knock down a building?" Pomona said.

"Are you kidding?" He looked at her in surprise.

"We heard it sound beautiful from a distance, but it's a big guy." Pomona looked at the goblin horn not far behind, which was much smaller than the horn used by humans, "Who knows what will happen Woolen cloth?"

In addition to the vibration of the footsteps, there is actually a sound that can also vibrate. It will pass through every corner of the castle, just like the wind passing through the hall.

"Let's prepare where the students will live tonight." Snape said in a low voice.

"I don't think we have that much time to waste, Severus." Pomona shook his head. "We don't know how far the danger is from us."

"I see what you mean, but not until night," Snape said.

"No, there's another way," said Pomona, then put the mirror back in his pocket and turned away from the small platform.
