Everyone rode the school's flying broom and flew into the depths of the forbidden forest.
The group came outside the hot cave, and the heat gushed out of it made Professor McGonagall carefully put away his new scarf.
"I haven't been here for a long time."
Professor Sprout looks a little missed.
Dumbledore raised his brow and turned to ask her: "Pomona, was it you who grew mushrooms in the hot hole at that time?"
Professor Sprout looked at the surrounding trees a little crampedly and replied as if nothing had happened: "I was a good student at that time. Minerva and Philius could testify that coming here will happen after graduation."
/p>
Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitvie both laughed.
After joking, Dumbledore began to make arrangements: "The hot hole has existed for many years, and the passage that Charles accidentally found was the first time he was discovered, so we must cheer up."
"Philius, you explore the way."
Professor Flivi immediately smiled and said, "No problem, I am the youngest and most suitable for this."
Dumbledore continued: "I'm in front of the team, Minerva follows me."
(Professor McGonagall nodded.)
"Pomona, you and Charles follow Minerva, if there are too many enemies, you will be responsible for pestering the enemy."
(Professor Sprout and Charles expressed their understanding.)
"Severus, you're at the end, if anyone gets hurt, it's up to you."
(Snape nodded expressionlessly.)
"Okay, we..."
Before Dumbledore finished speaking, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the hot hole, and he seemed to be walking out with something like a stick in his hand.
Everyone raised their wands and attacked the dark shadow at any time, frightening Hogwarts' key administrator and hunting ground guard Ruber Hager's legs were so weak.
Hagrid didn't come empty-handed, and she was holding a large ox leg in her hand, which looked quite fresh.
Dumbledore frowned and asked him, "Ruber, why are you here?"
Hagrid looked very sad, and after looking at the others, he replied: "Professor Dumbledore, I let the 'carpet' live here. When I came to feed it today, I found it was gone, and there were a lot of stones on the ground." "I'm worried that it was pressed down by the stones falling from the top of the cave. I just went back to get a lamp."
"Professor, it's so good that you guys are here. Can you help me?"
After he finished speaking, he found that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit weird. Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall looked at each other helplessly, Snape sneered, and the others were watching the scenery.
Dumbledore asked seriously: "Ruber, did you bring that volley bat here?"
Hager said strangely: "Professor, you have seen carpets. I know you are very busy recently. I want to wait for you to come back from Africa before talking to you."
Charles was speechless when he heard it. He suspected that the volley bat was created by Hagrid, but it was too rare so he couldn't get it for a while. He didn't expect it to be like this.
Hagrid continued: "Recently, many children in Aragork have been brutally killed by the 'spider harvester' and their legs have been cut off."
"I met Bell at the Three Broom Bar that day, a fantastic animal expert working in Africa. He happened to have a volley bat, so I bought it and waited for the weather to warm up and let it find the person who killed the Aragork children." "I know the carpet is a bit dangerous, but I can guarantee that it won't eat without my permission."
Now everyone except Dumbledore is watching the scenery, including Professor McGonagall.
Dumbledore looked at Hagrid and said after a moment, "Ruber, go find Silvanus, Newt is here, they are together now."
Hager asked in surprise: "Did Professor Keitelborn grab the carpet?"
Dumbledore can only say: "You will know when you go."
When Haeger left, Snape sneered and said, "Principal, if you let him do this again, Hogwarts will soon have the next victim."
Everyone present knew who Snape was talking about, and Dumbledore said calmly: "I believe Hagrid is not the murderer of Myrtle."
"Let's go."
Professor Flivie imposed a magical mantra on himself and soon disappeared in front of everyone.
After a while, a white light lit up in the cave, Dumbledore took the others in, walked to the white light and stopped, until the next ball of white light lit up before walking forward.
The group came to the hall, and there was a white light on the top of everyone's wands. You could see that there were many stones scattered on the ground here, all of which were thrown out by purple cabbage.
Charles smiled and explained: "I used the flying spell."
Professor McGonagall turned around and praised: "It's a smart way."
Everyone scattered to find clues, Professor Flivie said to Charles: "Show your wand up the top."
Other people's lighting curse is like a light bulb, just like Charles's and flashlights.
There were some patterns on the top of the hall, and Charles couldn't see anything special, but Professor Flivi looked at it very seriously.
Professor Flivie read it once and said, "There is nothing but a few sets of ancient runes used for luminous lamps."
Charles was very curious about the luminous runes, and under the guidance of Professor Flitvi, he discovered those variants of ancient Runes.
He was not familiar with ancient Ru Ni's words and only knew that this kind of text could extend the time the spell was attached to the item with the blessing of this kind of text, so he was not clear about other functions.
At this time, Charles remembered a question and asked Professor Flivie: "Professor, there was no light here just now. How did you determine what was around?"
Professor Flivi said proudly: "This is a small trick. Use the wand as your own eyes to see everything around you, even if you use the magic spell and wear an invisibility cloak."
Charles asked for advice immediately, but now is not the time. Professor Flivie said a few words roughly, the principle is the same as the one used by his old friend a hundred years ago.
Other professors searched the hall and the surrounding stone rooms and found nothing. Professor Sprout seemed to know that it would be like this, and he was a little perfunctory when working.
Next, everyone came to the newly discovered passage, and Professor Flivi sneaked forward to reconnaissance again.
The passage is surrounded by long stone bricks. After more than twenty meters, it starts to lead down. The stone wall is hotter than outside and the air is also hotter. Everyone takes off the thick clothes inside the robe and lets Charles collect it.
Get into the bag.
Charles also took out a few bottles of Happy Water to rehydrate everyone.
"Huh?" Charles suddenly stopped.
Others stopped, and Professor Sprout asked him: "Did you find any problem?"
Charles took out a lighter from his bag, lit it, and held it motionlessly, and found that the flame was blown by the wind, and the wind came from below.
Then he squatted down and put the lighter on the ground, and found that the wind was the same.
Among the countless question marks of the bigwigs, Charles explained: "The wind here blows from below, which means there is more than one channel below, and there must be a channel to other places to replenish the air."
Dumbledore asked, "You mean there are other caves leading forward?"
Charles nodded and replied: "I think yes, maybe it's such a passage or a vent."
However, he was not right. After walking two or three hundred meters, a huge cave appeared. A deep ditch of forty or fifty meters wide divided the ground into two halves. After throwing a stone down for a while, you could hear the sound of water.
There is a palace-like gate.
Everyone saw that it seemed very safe here. Looking for clues in a row, Charles took out a thermometer and placed it on the ground. The mercury stopped at a place close to 40 degrees Celsius.
Not long after, Dumbledore suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"
