The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

As soon as Link said this, the entire principal's office fell silent, with only the nervous gasps coming from the portrait on the wall.

After a long time, Snape on the sofa frowned and said:

"Why didn't you say anything last night?"

"Because I was afraid that you would just kill my Arkham."

Link replied.

This answer was half true and half false. Link was indeed a little afraid that Dumbledore would directly kill Arkham after catching him for the sake of the stability of Hogwarts.

After all, judging from the performance in the original work, Dumbledore is exactly the kind of 'saint' who would do anything for world peace.

In the eyes of such people, the stability of Hogwarts and the world is the first priority, and other things such as personal emotions are not worth mentioning at all.

But what really made Link choose to temporarily conceal the secret room information was his inertial thinking as a time traveler.

As a time traveler, he has a habit of concealing key information to protect himself, especially when facing a being like Dumbledore who can easily destroy everything.

But after thinking about it in the Room of Requirement last night, Link quickly understood one thing.

That is, his situation is different from that of ordinary time travellers.

Dumbledore had already known Du Ming about the existence of the basilisk. Strictly speaking, he and Dumbledore were on the same team.

If this is the case, then he can completely borrow Dumbledore's ability to attack the heir hiding in the dark.

This is why Link came early in the morning.

In the principal's office, Snape fell silent after hearing Link's reasons.

He also knew what kind of person Dumbledore was.

He and Link looked at each other, and then both turned their attention to Dumbledore behind the eagle-legged table.

"Ahem~" Dumbledore coughed twice inexplicably and said, "Link, since you know where the secret room is, tell it. I will arrange for someone to go in and search for it."

"The entrance to the secret room is in the bathroom on the second floor, but I have to go together because opening the secret room requires Parseltongue."

Link said quickly.

"Is this so? Although it is more dangerous, we can only let you and Professor Snape go together." Dumbledore pondered for a while and said, "Without further delay, you can set off immediately."

"Now? And it's just the two of us?" Link frowned, "Aren't you coming with us?"

"Yes, we have not yet grasped the identity of the heir. He is hiding beside us. If your team grows in size or if I, as a key figure, appear on the scene, he is likely to get the information in advance, so this time The action can only be taken by the two of you." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Link, you don't have to worry, Professor Snape is not only a Potions Master, but also an excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts master. He is fully capable of protecting you. Not only that, I will also let Fox follow you."

In his words, Dumbledore deliberately emphasized the words 'Master of Defense Against the Dark Arts' and gave Snape a special look.

This made Snape curl his lips in displeasure.

It's a pity that Link didn't care about the small interaction between the two of them. He frowned and said:

"Fox?"

"This is it."

Dumbledore smiled and stretched out his hand, and following the direction he pointed, Link saw the beautiful fiery red phoenix rising up to the sky and chirping, then it soared into the sky and landed in the forest. on Gram's shoulders.

"Boom!~"

"Oh! Oh! He seems to like you very much!"

Dumbledore shouted excitedly, which made Link a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Snape on the side seemed to finally be unable to stand Dumbledore's nagging anymore, and shouted directly:

"Stop wasting time! Dumbledore!"

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey."

A look of surprise flashed across Link's face, and he opened his hand and said quickly:

"Wait, are you leaving now? I haven't eaten yet..."

Before he could finish his words, Snape stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

At the same time, the Phoenix Fox on Link's shoulder erupted with a burst of dazzling red light.

"Boom!~"

The familiar dizzy feeling caused by space teleportation made Link couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that he and Snape had already appeared in the bathroom.

"The phoenix itself has the ability to teleport people, and this ability can ignore the anti-Apparition curse. But Dumbledore is right, this phoenix seems to really like you, and ordinary people don't. Just take teleportation with you."

Snape looked at Phoenix Fawkes, who was still grooming Link's shoulders, and explained with a complicated expression.

However, this expression only appeared on his face for a moment. Soon he returned to normal, pulled Link and said:

"Okay, we don't have much time, hurry up and open the door to the secret room."

Hearing this, Link did not refuse, but secretly glanced at the Phoenix Fox on his shoulder and then came to the sink.

"Hiss, hiss... (open)"

A chilling snake language was spoken.

Listening to this strange snake language, a trace of disgust flashed across Snape's face.

However, he hid it very well and did not let Link discover it.

Soon, the sink began to deform and finally disappeared, leaving only a very thick water pipe.

Link pointed to the bottomless water pipe and said:

"The secret room is down here, but I don't know the specific location. Plus, the pipelines below are very complicated, and we still need to explore."

Snape's brows furrowed, but he did not complain, but said:

"Let's go then."

After saying that, Snape jumped into the pipe very simply.

Link quickly followed.

"Hey~"

Fox the phoenix screamed and flapped its wings, dragging Link to prevent him from sliding down quickly.

Snape, who was in front of Link, also used some unknown spell to float in the air.

In order to prevent sudden dangers, Link activated the Occlumency and Supersensory Spells early.

But this made his journey painful.

Because this pipe is actually the underground drainage pipe of Hogwarts. It is not only damp and dark, but also filled with all kinds of indescribable odors.

This peculiar smell became even more terrifying after being amplified by the super-sensory spell.

As a last resort, Link could only reach out and pinch his nose to block out the horrible smell.

As the two continued to go down, the slope of the pipeline became steeper and steeper. The most serious point even directly reached the terrifying 90% angle, which was almost indistinguishable from a cliff.

In addition, they also found many other side roads.

These forked roads branched off in all directions, some were so narrow that they were impossible to pass, and some were almost as thick as the pipe they were currently on.

Snape, who was flying ahead, didn't seem to care about this, and he continued to fly forward along the main pipeline.

After flying for nearly 10 minutes, the pipe suddenly became horizontal, and then a shimmering exit appeared in front of him.
