Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

Chapter 8 Night Tour

The sorting ceremony came to an end with bursts of applause, and Professor McGonagall left with the sorting hat.

Dumbledore stood up as if he had been waiting impatiently for a long time, raised his hands, and used the amplifying spell to make his powerful voice resound throughout the auditorium:

"Welcome! Welcome all the little wizards to Hogwarts to start the new school year!"

"I want to say a few words before the banquet starts, that is: Idiot! Cry! Residue! Screw it!"

"thank you all!"

The dinner officially began, and a variety of delicacies appeared on the long table.

The senior little wizards didn't pay attention to the principal's usual speech, and all started to eat happily.

On the other hand, the newly admitted little wizards were very curious about Dumbledore's somewhat incomprehensible speech, and asked the senior students for advice.

Then, after his curiosity was satisfied, he quickly plunged into the great battle to eliminate food.

It is a blessing to be able to have a big meal after a day of traveling and traveling. After satisfyingly filling his belly, the first-year wizard suddenly felt a sense of identity and belonging to Hogwarts. .

So during the dessert time after the main meal, the freshmen quickly integrated into the atmosphere of the college. Freshmen and old students, freshmen and freshmen all quickly became familiar with each other.

Amon also had to deal with some little wizards. He greeted every little wizard who showed his kindness gracefully and gracefully, and discussed with them some topics that the little wizards were interested in——

Don't think that Amon is isolated from the world because he concentrates on studying magic.

He will also pay attention to important sources of information such as newspapers and journals in the magical world, and pick out some interesting content from them to talk about, which is enough to deal with the young wizards;

There is also knowledge about the Muggle world, which Amon has never given up. There may be some interesting concepts and theories in it that can be used to create magic.

Now, this is working wonders when it comes to getting closer to those little wizards who come from Muggle families.

In the developmental stage, connections are a very important resource, and Amon will not ignore it. Although he likes to be quiet, he only likes to study and rest, and he will also do social things during social time.

Just like in the short period of conversation, Amon already knew several secret passages and mechanisms of Hogwarts. Even though this information may be cheap, it shows the value of these little wizards.

After a while, when the desserts disappeared from the long table, it marked the end of today's grand banquet.

Dumbledore stood up again and explained several precautions, and at the end he emphatically reminded:

"If you don't want to encounter an accident and die a painful death, don't enter the corridor on the right on the fourth floor."

After arousing the curiosity of the little wizards, he turned to say:

"Before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!"

In an instant, the professor and the little wizards all put on "pain masks", and very obvious expressions of disgust appeared on the faces of every old student present. Only the freshmen who didn't know the truth still looked innocent and curious.

Amon pushed up the monocle on his right eye helplessly. He dared to say with great confidence that there was nothing at the level of a little wizard that he could not handle!

…But this really doesn’t work!

"Hogwarts..."

The song sounded, and its complex melody, chaotic rhythm, and rich harmony were the best of all the songs Amon had ever heard. It was worthy of being called "Free Hogwarts, Sing Every Day."

Fortunately, this torture passed quickly, and the opening banquet officially ended. The first-year wizards headed to the lounge of the corresponding college under the leadership of their respective superiors.

The male prefect of Ravenclaw is a fifth-year wizard named Robert Hilliard, and the female prefect is Penello Crevat.

After introducing themselves, they asked the first-year students to line up in two teams, male and female. When the exit was no longer crowded, they led the team out of the auditorium.

Then, they led the new Ravenclaw students to turn left and right in the castle, walking through countless secret passages, and finally came to an entrance with a bronze eagle-shaped door knocker.

Robert stepped forward and knocked on the door. The eagle standing on the door knocker opened his mouth and asked:

"Phoenix and fire, which one comes first?"

This scene surprised the freshmen, and they subconsciously started thinking after hearing the question.

Robert did not answer the knocker's question first, but turned to look at the freshmen and said:

"This is the entrance to our common room. It is located at the top of the Ravenclaw Tower. If you want to enter, you need to answer the questions on the knocker. I believe these questions will not be difficult for a smart Ravenclaw."

Then he faced the door knocker again and replied: "A cycle has no beginning."

"That makes sense." The door opened as the eagle mouth responded.

The freshmen filed in under the leadership of the two prefects, and their eyes lit up after seeing the scene in the lounge.

They looked around at the dreamily decorated circular spacious room——

The white marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw in the niche exudes elegance and mystery;

The arched windows are hung with blue and bronze silk curtains, and the Hogwarts campus can be seen through the windows;

The dome is painted with many twinkling stars, as if to imply that the wizard's wisdom is as sublime as the starry sky;

The floor is covered with dark blue carpet, and there are tables, chairs and bookcases on it.

There were only three or two people in the lounge at this time, probably the seniors who came back early.

Robert was not verbose and simply said two sentences:

"I am delighted to welcome you to Ravenclaw House. Our emblem is an eagle, soaring high and unreachable; our colors are sky blue and bronze; I don't mean to be exaggerated, here are the smartest A place where witches and wizards live. Like our founder, Rowena Ravenclaw."

At this point, he greeted the Ravenclaw statue, then turned back to continue.

"We regard learning as our top priority, just like the way we came here. I believe that the smart Ravenclaws must have memorized those secret passages in case they are late for class tomorrow..."

Then, he introduced in detail the current dean of Ravenclaw House, the history of Ravenclaw, its relationship with the other three houses, and the ghost of Ravenclaw...

"I guess that's about it, I hope you guys have a good night."

"Finally, let me say it again: Congratulations on becoming one of the smartest, most agile and most interesting Ravenclaws."

The first-year wizards, whose faces gradually became sleepy and became numb, applauded as they wished.

Robert bowed gracefully in response and led the wizard into the door on the left behind the Ravenclaw statue, and Penello led the witch into the door on the right.

Amon quickly found his dormitory. The school's house elf had already delivered his luggage to his bedside and labeled it with his name.

Later, his two roommates also came in one after another, and they all showed great interest in Amon, who was one of the highlights of the dinner.

But it was already very late today, and I had to get up early for class tomorrow, so I could only briefly introduce myself before everyone washed up and went to bed.

……

In the early morning, after all his roommates were asleep, Amon opened his eyes.

He picked up the monocle next to the pillow and put it on his right eye. He picked up the wand beside the bed and cast a silent spell on himself. Then he opened the box and found a bottle of potion and drank it.

As soon as the potion entered his stomach, Amon's figure disappeared instantly.

This is the result of Amon's whole summer vacation - the final version of the invisibility potion.

The new potion not only makes the invisibility last longer, it can also invalidate the humanoid appearance spell cast by some wizards.

As for the upper limit of how powerful a wizard is, Amon hasn't tried it yet, at least not a wizard of Old Nott's level.

Of course, I don't know if it would work if two old Nott-level wizards cast the Humanoid Appearance Spell together.

Amon opened and closed the bedroom door lightly - he couldn't make a sound, but the door could.

He left the lounge directly and entered the castle through some secret passages he learned today.

Along the way, Amon seemed very calm and calm. He didn't look like a freshman who violated school rules and went out for a night out. He also didn't see the excitement and curiosity that a freshman should have when going out at night.

I don’t know if it was due to good luck, but Amon did not encounter Filch and his wife on the route he chose, nor did he encounter other little wizards traveling at night.

He went to the corridor on the eighth floor and found the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas silly.

I walked back and forth three times in front of that section of wall while silently reciting, 'A potion making room of my own', and then a smooth door appeared on the wall opposite the tapestry.

Although it has 'exclusively' in its name, in fact this door will not reject anyone as long as it has the right name.

The purpose of naming it this way is just for encryption.

Amon raised his hand and touched the lower edge of the monocle with the second joint of his right index finger, and at the same time stretched out his left hand to unscrew the door.

The room inside the door is similar to his small potion making room, with cabinets for potion materials, workbench, and various instruments.

Amon nodded with satisfaction and pulled out a suitcase from the pocket of the magic robe that had been cast with a traceless stretching spell.

Opening the suitcase, it was also cast with a traceless stretching spell. He put some potion ingredients in it and took it to school.

Amon put the materials into categories, then turned around and walked out of the Room of Requirement, wandering to the library on the second floor.

This is the place with the richest collection of books in the entire magical world. There are countless magic books on the bookshelves that seem to be as high as the ceiling.

No matter what type of magic it is - spells, potions, transfiguration, alchemy, or even dark magic, as long as it exists or has existed in the magical world, you can find it here.

Amon walked along the seemingly endless row of bookshelves, counting silently in his mind. Only when the number matched the number in his mind did he stop and walk into the aisle between the bookshelves.

I saw that there were bookshelves in this area, but they were empty and there was not a single book in sight——

This is the invisible book area. Amon often saw them mention this place from their ancestors' notes, and they got very rich harvests from here;

Some ancestors couldn't help but praise the goddess of night, thinking that moving the family to England was a very correct and forward-looking decision...

The books in the invisible book area will be "invisible" in various forms - books that become the same as the surrounding environment, books that can only be seen by knowing the Red Dan Loyalty Charm, books that hide themselves...

Obviously, the books here are all related to invisibility.

The magic book in the magic world is like this. It cannot be read casually. To be able to subdue it, one must be able to decipher it;

If you are going to read some grimoires that record black magic or curses, you have to be careful not to fall victim to them, as they can be fatal;

Of course, if you are unlucky and encounter a "weird" magic book, you won't be able to see a single bit of its contents even if it is destroyed.

Amon chose some books and stuffed them into his pocket, then went back to the dormitory to sleep——

He was not worried at all that the librarian, Mrs. Pince, would find out, because there were so many books in the Hogwarts library, many of which were magical, that there was no way to completely count them.

All in all, Amon was pleased with how his first night at Hogwarts turned out, believing it was a very good start.
