The Blood Professor at Hogwarts

"I don't know what she's doing." Rove shrugged, "But I only know that we don't have enough ability to dispel the protective magic and illusion magic around here, so it's not wrong to follow in Luna's footsteps."

After all, he took the lead in stepping on Luna's golden footprints, followed Luna's direction with precision, and jumped from time to time with long intervals.

Harry and Ginny looked at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to follow Rove's movements and step on Luna's footprints.

"You usually have a lot of knowledge, can you recognize what kind of protective magic this is, Rove?" Harry asked Rove curiously as he wobbled and jumped.

His pace was far less agile and skilled than Rove's, and his speed was so slow that Ginny behind him would hit his back.

"It should be a hidden maze magic circle." Rove said, "Only by following a specific trajectory can you walk into the destination protected by the maze."

"And the spell used to deceive our sight should be a variant of the illusion spell, after all, none of the illusion spells I know can last for such a long time, nor can an area be disguised as another scene without a trace. "

"I have

Just curious, how did Luna know the specific trajectory to enter the maze? Ginny stopped behind the stiff Harry again, with her hips on her hips, and asked in a bored manner.

"I want to know this too," Rove's voice came from a distance, and he had already followed the footprints for a long distance, "Luna herself is a very magical little witch, I think her People can't use common sense to judge..."

Slowly, Rove's figure became farther and farther away until he disappeared completely.

And Harry was still stepping on Luna's footprints one by one stiffly, walking forward unsteadily.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was only one row of footprints, and if it wasn't for the fear of triggering other functions of the maze magic, Ginny would have passed Harry from the side and went to the ruins where Luna was one step ahead.

The sky was completely dark, and not a single starlight shone from the tree cover of the dense forest. There was only a row of golden footprints and the illuminating spells at the front of the two wands still lit a faint light, adding a little bit of insignificance to the dark Forbidden Forest. bright.

After an unknown amount of time, Harry and Ginny finally came to the end of Luna's golden footprints.

"Is this the end?" Harry looked at a huge tree trunk that couldn't be hugged by two people in front of him, with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Why can't I see any relics at all?"

"And... where did Rove go?"

His voice echoed in the silent Forbidden Forest, but it seemed that there was a gloomy atmosphere in the Forbidden Forest.

There seemed to be dark eyes growing in many haystacks and bushes around, and monsters might poke their heads out from the dense jungle at any time, dragging the two little wizards into the bottomless abyss.

After all, Ginny was still a little girl, with an obvious look of fear on her face and trembling all over her body.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be fine, Ginny." Harry turned around and patted Ginny on the back, and said softly.

In fact, he was also a little afraid of this unknown darkness.

But when there are girls around, the boys will always have an inexplicable courage out of thin air, which is enough to make a timid person suddenly go forward bravely.

What's more, Harry has lived in a dark cabinet since he was a child, accompanied by spiders and bugs, and he has a high tolerance for this kind of darkness.

He took a deep breath, raised his wand aloft—

"Luminescence (LusMaxi)!"

Harry shouted.

The Illumination Charm on the tip of the wand radiated light, completely illuminating the dark and dark surroundings, and dispelling some of the fear in their hearts.

At this moment, as if hearing Harry chanting a spell, another voice sounded from behind the thick tree trunk.

"Harry, you're finally here!" Harry and Ginny heard it was Rove's voice, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Come in and help me, there's a big snake here, I can't handle it with my pliers! "

"But how do we get in?" Harry asked.

He carefully inspected the trunk of the big tree in front of him again, and found no holes or gaps in it, leaving no space for people to cross.

"Just jump over, hurry up, that snake found me again!" Rove's voice was a little urgent.

"Jump over? Jump over this tree?" Harry looked up, only to see a tall canopy that couldn't be seen, "Are you serious, Rove? Or can I ignore Luna's footprints?" , go around directly from the side?"

"No, you don't think the exit of the maze is a real tree, do you?" Rove said in a rather helpless tone, "Didn't we discuss it just now? Some trees here are real, and some trees are fake. "

"This is the biggest fake tree, you don't need to worry about it, just hit it directly!"

Harry nodded suddenly.

But to be on the safe side, he reached out to touch the edge of the big tree first, and stroked the rough bark of the big tree.

The rough texture was transmitted to Harry's brain through the skin on Harry's fingers, and he also touched many lumpy bark particles, which were exactly the same as real trees without any

the difference.

"Rove, isn't that right?" Harry asked, "I got it, this tree is indeed a real tree, don't you think the exit of the maze we came here is different from?"

"They all followed Luna's footsteps, how could it be different?" Rove was about to vomit blood from Harry's dullness, and said impatiently, "Do you know King's Cross Station? It's the same principle, you must It takes a certain speed and strength to break through the confinement of the station wall and enter platform nine and three quarters."

"Otherwise there are so many Muggle passengers, and there are always people who like to lean against the wall, so the probability of being discovered in the wizarding world is too high... Don't talk so much, I'll go to the side to hide first, and be careful when you come in point!"

Rove's voice got farther and farther away, probably to avoid the snake chasing him.

Then there was the sound of rustling snakes rubbing against the ground from behind the tree trunk, probably the big snake chasing Rove.

Harry's expression became tense when he realized Rove's critical state.

He closed his eyes, mentally remembering every time he slammed into the partition wall between platforms 9 and 10 at King's Cross Station, and jumped forward.

The next moment, he felt himself landing on a hard ground.

Harry opened his eyes and saw an extremely spectacular building complex.He opened his mouth involuntarily——

It was a huge palace, standing tall on seven high stone steps.

Basically, the entire building complex is constructed of marble, without any extra flashy stone, but with red tiles and white walls to create a simple sense of unity with nature.

The paint on the exterior wall of the building has been painted over and over again, and the color is deeply deposited on the wall.After a long time, it is still extremely white and meaningful.

The dome-style roof of the palace is supported by several thick round stone pillars, all of which are entwined with floating snakes. From the eyes of the pillars to the bottom of the dome, the triangular snake head sticks out. Like the cold and vicious look that can be had.

There are many buildings behind the palace, most of which are in the form of courtyards. These are the places where the former owner of the palace used to raise various magical creatures and conduct black magic experiments.

Every courtyard is decorated with snakes.

However, no matter how shocking it is to the eyes, the long time has finally had a considerable impact on this magically protected building complex.

No matter how brand-new and resplendent the building was in the past, it has become somewhat damaged and decayed now.

Looking at the dilapidated courtyard, the walls collapsed, wild vines coiled up along the broken door and stone pillars, the ground was overgrown with weeds and debris.

At this time, Ginny also jumped over from the tree trunk behind, stood on a solid ground compared with the land in the Forbidden Forest, and stared at the building with wide eyes.

Harry turned his head, and saw that there was indeed a huge tree standing tall on the solid ground, but the tree was also made of marble, and the overall appearance was off-white, which was completely realistic in the Forbidden Forest. Giant trees are not the same.

Behind the trees is a vast forest, but it looks a little blurry, as if a piece of frosted glass blocks the building complex and the forest, forming a clear boundary.

"Wow, it's unbelievable... there is such a ruin in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts!" Ginny exclaimed.

Harry also nodded with emotion, still not fully recovering from the shock of entering this place.

"You two, stop patronizing and sighing, come and help me!"

At this moment, Rove's voice came over, obviously a little out of breath.

Harry and Ginny turned their heads and saw Rove running around the dilapidated courtyards with the long snake-forked pliers in his hand, and a giant python almost ten feet long was following behind him. , grinning and drooling, as if wanting to swallow it in one gulp.

This giant python is not a common green color, but a very common off-white color, just like a stone.

Rove turned his head back from time to time, and took the snake fork pliers in his hand to poke the snake's seven inches back a few times.

However, because the snake is too thick

With a body and an overly tough skin, his offensive has no effect at all, and even slows down his escape speed.

"Come on, Harry, it's up to you!" Rove shouted.

Harry took a deep breath, gave Ginny a slight nod, and stepped forward.

"Let's talk about it first, Rove, I'm not sure if I can control it." He walked to a courtyard in front of Rove's marching route, and before the snake came over, he took the lead in explaining, "Except for the duel club. Unintentionally, today is the first time I have fought with Snake Tongue."

"It's okay, let's try first first." Rove ran to Harry's side panting, and said out of breath, "Try first to see if you can get rid of this snake, otherwise we have to Find another way."

Harry nodded, and looked at the gray and white python.

"Stop." He stared into the python's eyes and said loudly.

However, the giant python ignored him, and crawled towards the edge of the courtyard where the two were, with fierce eyes.

"I really can't seem to control it." Harry said with an apologetic look at Rove.

"Nonsense, of course you can't control it!" Rove jumped and shouted, "What you just said is clearly in English, it's no wonder this python understands it!"

"Eh..." Harry scratched his head in embarrassment, and then looked into the eyes of the python again, "It's my fault, wait for me..."

"Stop!" came out this time in a version no one could understand.

He turned to look at Rove.

"It's indeed a language I don't understand." Rove looked at this scene and nodded slightly.

Looking at the gray-white python again, it really stopped in place, with its huge mouth wide open, almost reaching Harry's face.

The whole snake didn't move at all, even stopped breathing, like a big rock that hadn't changed for thousands of years.

"Why didn't the snake not move?" Harry asked Rove in a low voice.

"Do you still have to ask this question... Didn't you tell it to "stop" just now?" Rove rolled his eyes helplessly.

He really couldn't understand Snakespeak, but Rove did hear Harry's "Stop" in the first sentence, so he also knew the meaning of the second Snakespeak.

"Snake Laoqiang can be regarded as a kind of magic specifically for snakes, which can make almost all snakes obey you." Rove explained, and then said with some excitement, "Since you are sure that you really know how to use snake old Cavity, then the next step will be easy!"

He took Harry up to the seven high stone steps of the largest palace.

"Don't go up all seven stone steps at once, get ready and come one by one." Rove warned, "I tried it this morning, and every time you go up a step, there will be a larger group of snakes coming to attack you. I don't want to see you being bitten to death by a chaotic snake before you can use the old snake accent."

Harry nodded cautiously, and under the eyes of Rove and Ginny, he stepped on the first stone step first.

"Boom--"

As Harry stepped up the first stone steps, there was a sudden heavy grinding sound.

On the ornate railings around the stone steps, a large stone snake is wrapped around each railing pole.

Now, these stone snakes entangled and climbed down from the guardrail one after another, winding towards Harry's position.

With his first experience, Harry moved very quickly this time, and he was ready to speak Snakespeak as soon as he walked up the first stone steps——
