Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 250 Rumors of the Stone Arch
Below Hogwarts Castle, there was originally an exposed rocky slope, with weeds growing in the crevices of many gravels, and a few willow trees leaning, and everyone usually didn't pay much attention to that place.

But now there is a strange stone arch standing abruptly in that place. This stone arch is square, about three meters long and two meters wide. The style is very simple and old. Even the stone looks like it has been baptized by wind and frost.

Around this door, there are four very huge statues, a majestic Gryffindor lion standing on the left side of the stone arch, a Hufflepuff badger leaning on the right side of the stone arch, a A Slytherin snake with its tongue sticking out coiled around one corner above the stone arch, and a Ravenclaw eagle with its wings outstretched was parked at the other corner.

These four animals, which symbolize the four colleges of Hogwarts, seem to be guarding the stone gate. Each animal stone carving is lifelike, as if it will move in the next moment.

And what surprised Mo Lin the most was not the landmarks of the four colleges, but this stone arch!
He had seen this stone arch in Payngade's memory. When Payngade broke into the Department of Mysteries, he said that he would let the glory of this stone arch shine on the world again.

At this time, the stone arch on the slope is exactly the same as the stone arch that Mo Lin saw in the Department of Mysteries. The only thing missing is the curtain hanging on the stone arch!

When Mo Lin saw this stone arch, he was very surprised.

The last time Arnock talked to him about the origin of this stone arch, it is said that after the four founders of Hogwarts opened this door, they closed it again. No one knew that they were looking behind this door. Whatever it is, this stone arch is closely guarded in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries.

So why is the same stone arch here at the beginning of the new term?Was this stone arch specially built by the school, or for some other reason?
Maureen was thinking about this, while the other students hadn't even heard of the origin of the stone arch, and they were all guessing what this strange building was for.

It wasn't until Professor Francis at the gate of the castle threatened everyone with a gloomy voice that everyone didn't dare to stay and entered the castle obediently.

"James, do you know what happened to the stone arches outside the castle?" Maureen saw that James and Albus were talking loudly, and when they passed by them, he asked.

"I don't know, buddy, but I just heard that this stone arch suddenly appeared on the slope outside the castle two days ago. You heard me right, it broke out of the ground! Would you like some quick-acting skipping sugar? Maureen, this It's version 4.1." Holding a bunch of skipping candy in his hand, James waved at Maureen, planning to sell some before the freshman sorting.

"No, thank you." Mo Lin shook his head.

"They sell skipping candies as soon as school starts, and they really don't stop for a moment!" Lily frowned and looked at her two brothers who were not doing business. "Mom will be mad."

"As long as you don't tell the truth, the two of them lived in Weasley's Wheezes for a summer vacation. Seriously, I want to live in my dad's shop and be kicked out all day." Hugo was very regretful.

The three of them found an empty seat and sat down at the long table in Gryffindor, just as the freshmen walked in, preparing for sorting.But today all the students' attention was focused on the noise from the direction of the Forbidden Forest, and the stone arch that suddenly appeared on the slope outside the castle, so they paid much less attention to the new students.

"Inheritance! That door hides the magic inheritance of the four founders of Hogwarts!" Toby leaned over and said mysteriously, "I just heard from Mosby, and Mosby heard from Bibo, Bibo I heard from Altus' father, and his father heard from a staff member of the Ministry of Magic who could not reveal his name, that the stone arches hide the inheritance clues of the four founders of Hogwarts."

"Inheritance? That's really good, but I hope to fill my stomach first!" Hugo lay on the table, stroking his stomach, and seemed not interested in the so-called inheritance.

"The people from the Ministry of Magic came to test? Did they come to any conclusions?"

Mo Lin is not very interested in the so-called inheritance. He doesn't think it is the inheritance left by the four founders, but it must have something to do with the stone arch of the Department of Mysteries.

"No, it is said that people from the Department of Mysteries came to check. This news is tightly sealed to prevent anyone from knowing, but some rumors still leaked."

"People from the Department of Mysteries? Sure enough..."

Mo Lin was not surprised at all. This strange stone arch door suddenly appeared in the school, which was exactly the same as the door of the Department of Mysteries. It would be strange if people from the Department of Mysteries did not find it.

Toby said with excitement on his face: "Think about it, the inheritance of the four founders, what a tempting thing, there must be something amazing left behind."

Professor Flitwick signaled for everyone to be quiet. The Sorting Hat is already singing a new song. Unfortunately, everyone doesn't care much about the hat that talks about it. They care more about the legacy of the founder of Hogwarts.

"Do you believe in inheritance? Maureen." Lily asked from the side.

"Why do you ask that?" Mo Lin stroked Doi's head, and Doi was lying on the table bored, as if waiting for dinner.

Lily said with a look of longing: "You know, Slytherin left a secret room, which was opened when my dad was in school. Everyone said that the other three founders are very likely to leave their secret room too. Maybe it is waiting for the real descendants to open it!"

"It's possible for you to say that. This castle is full of secrets." Maureen didn't deny any possibility. He really wanted to write to Arnock to inquire about it. Unfortunately, Arnock has never left since the summer vacation. There was no reply to Maureen.

Mo Lin didn't think about the stone arch any more, because the sorting of new students was already going on above, he waved to An Ran in the crowd, An Ran also looked very nervous.

"Enron Brier!" Professor Flitwick had already called Anran's name.

An Ran stepped forward timidly, and put the patched and crumpled sorting hat on her head.

"What college do you hope An Ran will be assigned to? Maureen." Hugo asked.

"Gryffindor, it's best to be in the same house as us," Molin said.

But the Sorting Hat has already called out the result: "Ravenclaw!"

The students on Ravenclaw's side applauded enthusiastically. An Ran looked a little disappointed. She glanced at Maureen's side, and then walked towards the long table on Ravenclaw's side.

"Oh, she was actually assigned to Ravenclaw." Hugo said regretfully.

Mo Lin looked at An Ran's back and nodded thoughtfully.

"Actually, Ravenclaw is not bad." Molin touched his nose and thought it was okay.

The sorting ceremony didn't take long, but Hugo felt that 1 years had passed, his stomach kept growling, and he watched helplessly as the ranks of freshmen dwindled one by one. Some freshmen who were assigned to Gryffindor, he even I was not in the mood to applaud, so I patted the table with one hand weakly, as a welcome.

After the last Harper James was assigned to Hufflepuff, Hugo's eyes lit up, and when he was about to take the knife and fork, Principal McGonagall had already stood up.

"Welcome to all freshmen. When you first come to Hogwarts, there are many things that you need to pay attention to. This is a castle full of magic. Therefore, only by obeying the school rules can you better integrate into the life of the school. Let me briefly say a few words below. ’” Principal McGonagall began her welcome speech.

"Oh no! I forgot about this link." Hugo's eyes dimmed in despair, "I hope Principal McGonagall really just said a few words."

But many times when someone tells you "I will say a few simple sentences", it is often not simple. At least according to Hugo, Principal McGonagall has spoken [-] sentences.
