As the "maze torture" time ended, the girls finally began to face another problem.
Just as Elena said, if they don't step up their pace, they may really be late on the first day of school!
"Wait, wait for me... you two -"
Hermione gasped for breath, followed Elena and Hannah, and ran along the rapidly rotating stairs towards the corridor of the Gryffindor College lounge. In terms of physical strength,
After all, she was not as good as the other two little witches.
Even though Hermione Granger deliberately strengthened some of her physical training during the summer vacation, she was still far behind.
Compared to Hannah and Elena, the two humanoid monsters who could run short distances without even breathing disorder, Hermione's physique was still slightly weaker. After running several hundred meters in one breath, she had already
I started to feel a little dizzy.
Fortunately, however, they finally arrived at the corridor on the seventh floor of the castle.
In the increasingly clear voices, Elena and the three of them walked down the moving stairs flexibly (this time, Elena finally did not fall into the Gryffindor groove), and finally came to a
On the somewhat unfamiliar sixth floor platform.
There are a total of one hundred and forty-two stairs in Hogwarts. This is the number recorded in previous editions of "Hogwarts, a School History", but no wizard has ever actually walked it all.
All stairs - In this magical castle where everything is constantly moving, many stairs will only be moved when they are really needed.
At least in Hermione Granger's memory, they had never been to this corridor on the sixth floor in the past year.
On the platform, most of the second-year students have already gathered here in advance. This is a relatively rare thing in Hogwarts, because under normal circumstances, everyone should be in the classroom at this time.
I've found a good location.
"What happened? Why are you all blocking the door..."
Elena frowned and coughed lightly.
Eleven or twelve years old is when most children begin to develop physically.
Compared with the group of little quails last year, most of the students in the same grade as her are now at least a head taller. When the students from the four colleges gathered together, they immediately blocked her sight.
, nothing can be seen.
As for standing on tiptoes or jumping to see what's going on behind her, it's impossible for her to do that!
"Sister, are you here? Look, it seems a little strange here -"
Hearing Elena's voice, the little wizards stopped their discussion and turned their heads to look over.
Among the crowd, Ron Weasley scratched his hair in distress and pointed to a place on one side of the wall. There was a simple carved stone door with a brand new brass plate inlaid on it - "Mathematics and Physics"
Classroom》
"Sorry, I didn't find anything weird."
Elena raised her brows, walked through the crowd, and carefully looked at the closed stone door in front of her.
Unlike other schools in the non-magical world, many doors in Hogwarts have certain magical powers. If you don't use the correct method, or politely ask them to open, or poke them in the right place, they will
It will not open; some doors are not even real doors, just like the curtain door they just passed through...
And the door leading to the palace of mathematics that appeared in front of them now was obviously such a special door.
"There is no threshold for knowledge, please come in," Elena read softly, "Isn't this already obvious?"
"But -" Ron Weasley scratched his cheek and glanced at the hard stone door.
"Platform nine and three-quarters, do you remember?"
As if to answer the question in his mind, Elena smiled and said softly.
As she spoke, Elena glanced at the stone door that exuded familiar magic waves, and a curious look flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect that this magic also existed in Hogwarts - this was not a simple illusion, but an illusion.
A profound space magic.
In other words, if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem to be a surprising thing at all.
Unsurprisingly, when the British Ministry of Magic built the magic platform at King's Cross Station, they probably drew on the magic that already existed in Hogwarts Castle.
The only difference is that the screening criteria for this door are not wizards, but...
"Don't worry, just walk over with determination..."
Elena said with a chuckle, taking the lead and walking quickly towards the seemingly hard stone wall.
Hesitation in the face of the unknown is the biggest barrier, which is why Dumbledore suggested using this place as a classroom.
If a little wizard approaches this stone door at an extremely slow speed, it will become extremely hard, no different in texture or hardness from the castle wall; but if you choose to ignore the existence of this door, you will have to overcome your fear.
If you walk forward, this door will lead to another space like platform 9?.
At least that's what Albus Dumbledore explained last night.
Needless to say, it may be a safer way to let another student try it out in advance.
But as the headmaster of Hogwarts, Moonlight, Elena still can't do the behavior of some villains. Moreover, on the other hand, the reason why the classmates behind her trust her is also this.
a little.
Whether it is the "Moonlight Ceremony" when entering school, the journey of the Quidditch Freshman Tournament, daily study and training in the castle, resisting campus bullying from senior students... Elena has always been the arrow standing at the forefront of the crowd.
and light source.
Of course, if you accidentally hit the wall, it doesn't matter - the worst thing is to tear down the broken door!
Elena calmly looked at the stone door that was getting closer and closer, and her steps became more and more brisk.
This stone door looks quite strong, but I don’t know how many times it can withstand justice from Her Majesty the Queen? If that spicy old carrot intends to deceive her on such details, then she will naturally happily start a new one.
world line.
However, nothing happened...she didn't feel any hindrance...
This is a very large classroom that looks vaguely familiar.
In fact, this place did not look like the common rooms in Hogwarts Castle, but more like the lecture theaters in Elena's impression of the university. In a daze, she even felt as if she had traveled back to the original place.
The illusion of the world.
Nearly eighty desks are neatly arranged in the huge space. On each desk are a brand new exercise book, a box of pencils, a stack of scratch paper, and two textbooks. At the front of the classroom are four
There is a giant blackboard that can move up and down, and several chalk boxes are placed on the podium in the center of the classroom. Sunlight shines through the windows and into the classroom, and the air is filled with the brightness of summer.
Beside the podium, Mr. Alexei, a somewhat bald man, was checking the lesson plan carefully with his head lowered.
"Huh? You guys are here. Find a place to sit down quickly. We are getting ready for class."
Hearing the noise coming from the side of the classroom, the middle-aged man raised his head with a warm smile on his face.
Following Elena's appearance, little wizards appeared in the classroom one after another. Most of them had a look of excitement and curiosity on their faces, looking around - this kind of ingenious...
The way of entering the classroom gives many little wizards a sense of ritual, as if they have stepped into a new world.
Looking at the children gathered at one side of the classroom, Alexei took a deep breath.
He couldn't help but recall the good old days when he used to give mathematics lectures in universities, but this time, these students were younger than the previous children and had greater potential - at the same time, they also
More troublesome.
"All seats are the same, and each person has one copy of the information above."
Alexei cleared his throat and pointed to the empty tables in the classroom.
Since he just took over this job from his teacher a few days ago, he didn't have time to study how to use the textbooks purchased by the students. In a hurry, he could only deal with it a little bit according to the way he taught his daughter before.
After all, according to Miss Theresa Apokalis' introduction, most young wizards have almost zero mathematical foundation.
Well, by the way, it seems that Miss Destiny should be called Elena Kaslana now?
While Alexei was waiting for the students to sit down uncomfortably in their seats, he looked thoughtfully at the three little witches in front of the podium. If he guessed correctly, this should be the one.
Students who are not allowed in the batch.
Of course, Hannah, Elena and Hermione were sitting at the same row of tables.
"First of all, welcome to the mathematics and physics classroom," Alexey stood up and walked to the podium. "You can call me Mr. Alexey. Yes, just as Professor Dumbledore said, I
I am not a wizard, so this class will not cover anything directly related to magic. Here we mainly explore philosophical issues about nature."
Following the middle-aged man's opening remarks, there was a small commotion in the classroom.
Even though they had learned about this decision from Professor Dumbledore before, when they were actually in this class, most of the young wizards still had some absurd resistance in their hearts.
As if he didn't notice the commotion in the classroom, Alexey paused and continued.
"In this world, whether we are wizards or Muggles, we cannot see the whole world, cannot hear the correct voices, and even past experiences are not so reliable... But we still have ways to understand,
To explore the truth of this world, this is also one of the few things that human civilization can trust when facing the unknown - mathematics."
