Chapter 167 Castle Model

The fat lady disappeared from her portrait, the portrait was severely chopped off, fragments of the canvas were scattered on the floor, and a large piece of canvas was simply torn away.

A large crowd gathered in front of the Gryffindor common room, and even Dumbledore and the professors were alarmed.



Professor Lu Ping’s eyes were startled and suspicious, looking at the cracks in the portrait, he seemed to think of something in the past. Professor Snape sneered and said nothing.

Dumbledore quickly glanced at the destroyed portrait, turned around, looked at the professors with solemn eyes, and said:

“We need to find her. Minerva, please go to Mr. Filch immediately and ask him to search every painting in the castle and find the fat lady.”

Then, he ordered all the students to return to the auditorium, which confused everyone except the students in Gryffindor.

“The professors and I need to conduct a full search of the castle.”

He stood in front of the professor’s chair and said calmly, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick had closed all the doors of the auditorium, “For your own safety, I am afraid you can only stay here overnight. I hope the prefect will guard the entrance of the auditorium. Entrust the chairman of the Boys and Girls Student Union to take charge of the management. If anything happens, report to me immediately.”

Dumbledore stopped talking and was about to leave the auditorium, but then said:

“Oh right, I think you need these…”

He gently waved his magic wand, and the long tables flew to the edge of the auditorium, standing automatically against the wall, and hundreds of soft purple sleeping bags appeared on the ground.

“Sleep well.”

Dumbledore finished speaking and went out and closed the door.

There was a chattering sound in the auditorium immediately, and Gryffindor’s classmates told other college students what had happened.

The other three colleges reacted differently. Gerald looked around, found Millie and asked:

“Did you see Ulysses?”

“No.”

Millie shook her head blankly, and followed him to scan left and right, but found nothing.

Ulysses had slipped out of the auditorium quietly. He knew that nothing else would happen tonight, plus Sirius Black was really needed and he was not afraid, so he left without any worries.

He walked quickly towards the eighth floor. However, not long after he left, he moved his mind and stopped at the corner of the corridor.

On the other side of the corner, there was a deep conversation.

“Is it familiar, Lupin? It’s still that bad, just like those ridiculous jokes you made back then.”

Professor Snape’s icy voice came, with undisguised sarcasm and bitterness in it.

“Don’t say that, Severus…”

Dumbledore’s old voice sounded.

Professor Snape remained unmoved, and continued to look at Professor Lupin, who looked weird and said:

“Is it, Lupin? I heard that Black escaped from prison to kill your best friend Porter’s son. Life is really full of drama, isn’t it?”

“If he does this, I won’t be the first to let him go, Snape, there is no need for you to be sneered here.”

Professor Lu Ping was no longer as gentle as usual, and said coldly, sounding in a bad mood.

“What we need to do now is to find Sirius first. The fat lady is hiding in the map of Argyll County on the third floor. It seems that she didn’t let Black in without hearing the password, so Black moved her hand.”

Dumbledore said, “Severus, you go to the Astronomy Tower. Remus, you can look outside the castle…”

“With all due respect, Professor.”

Professor Lu Ping said, “From my knowledge of Sirius… he is unlikely to stay in the castle.”

“Then you have to be fully prepared, at least you can’t hurt the students anymore. Go ahead.”

Dumbledore said lightly.

Professor Snape and Professor Lupin stared at each other, then snorted and walked in two different directions.

Ulysses waited quietly, trying to wait for them to go far and then go upstairs again, but Dumbledore’s voice rang in his ears:

“Ulysses, I think you should be familiar with the eight-eyed giant spider in the forbidden forest. Can you help me search that forest?”

“Oh–”

Ulysses was taken aback for a while, then nodded slightly and said, “Professor, you really know everything…Of course, I will.”

“I don’t know everything. Excuse me, I have something else.”

Professor Dumbledore had no idea of ​​meeting Ulysses, and disappeared in the corridor after speaking.

Ulysses shrugged helplessly, his wand waved a stream of light and flew straight toward the depths of the forbidden forest.

Since Dumbledore didn’t come out alone to say anything to him, after completing his commission, Ulysses continued to walk towards the eighth floor.

After entering the responsive room, Helena’s mood has calmed down a lot. At this time, she was sitting in a chair and chatting softly with her mother.

Rowena Ravenclaw cast an inquiring look at Ulysses. Ulysses thought for a while and said:

“There was an attack in the castle… the victim was a portrait. Now all the students are staying in the auditorium, and there was a delay.”

“The attack? Interesting.”

Rowena Ravenclaudia frowned slightly, flipped her right hand, and the gray mist rolled and dispersed, revealing a shimmering sphere in the center of the room, spreading over it that was so large that Ulysses was awe-inspiring. Magic fluctuations.

She waved gently, and the sphere flew into her hands by itself.

Ulysses glanced intently, and there was a model in this sphere, which looked like Hogwarts Castle.

Although the model is small, all the details are clear. In the auditorium on the model, there are dense black spots, which obviously correspond to the students in the auditorium.

Outside the auditorium, only scattered black spots appeared around the castle, supposed to be the professors who were searching the whereabouts of Sirius outside.

Ulysses noticed that in a secret road under the beating willow, a black spot was moving extremely fast.

“It turns out that everything at Hogwarts is under your control.”

Ulysses sighed. He looked at the castle model carefully and suddenly realized that there was something very similar to its function.

A live spot map made by a group of four marauders.

“This is the authority of the Hogwarts principals…Of course, as a founder, you can naturally use it.”

Rowena Ravenclaw smiled, “It’s just that I have rarely awakened for thousands of years, so that my spirit body can exist for long enough… Nevertheless, this spirit body can’t last long. NS.”

“You can always exist.”

Helena said suddenly, with hope in her words.

Rowena Ravenclaw rubbed her hair with a smile, and said softly:

“No one can exist forever. Death is the inevitable ending for everyone, even me. It’s just that Death is not always a bad thing, it may be another adventure.”
