The Hog's Head pub is completely different from the Three Broomsticks that Ryan has been to. It only has a small, dark, and very dirty room that exudes a strong smell of sheep. There are thick layers of odor accumulated on several of the bay windows.
Dirt, barely letting in the light, and a few candle stubs burning on the rough wooden table.
At first, Ryan thought the ground was mud, but after walking a few steps, he realized that it was centuries of dirt that had accumulated on the stone paved floor. Obviously Hermione also discovered this, so she simply walked like a ballerina after entering the door.
The actors stood on tiptoes. Soon, everyone who was going to reinforce Hogwarts entered the bar. More than 20 people packed the whole room, making the whole room seem smaller and darker.
"Okay, the person standing at the end will help close the door, and then the rest of the people will follow me." Aberforth turned to the people behind him and said, and then led everyone around the counter and through the room.
door, and finally climbed up a rickety wooden staircase to the living room on the second floor.
The living room is much cleaner than the lobby on the first floor. The floor is covered with worn carpets and there is a small fireplace. A large oil painting hangs above the fireplace. On the painting, a blond girl looks blankly and tenderly.
inside the house.
"Mr. Dumbledore," Hermione asked quietly after seeing the portrait, "Is this your sister? Ariana?"
"Yes," Aberforth said stiffly, "I think you may have heard news about our family from some people, but now is not the time to discuss this. You need to hurry up." After that, he cleared up.
He cleared his throat and stood up, walked around the small table and stood in front of Ariana's portrait. "You know what to do."
The girl smiled slightly, turned and walked away. She did not disappear beside the frame like people in ordinary portraits, but seemed to walk along a long tunnel painted behind her. They stared at her delicate figure.
He walked farther and farther, and was finally swallowed up by darkness.
"What an exquisite mechanism design," Ryan praised in a low voice, but received a dissatisfied look from Aberforth. After he glanced at Ryan, who knew he was being rude and kept his mouth shut, the portrait on the wall was like a small door.
It also opened, revealing the entrance to a real tunnel.
"I wish you good luck." Aberforth nodded vigorously, then moved away from the place in front of the fireplace and created a stool for them to stand on. As the leader of this team, Ryan was the first to climb onto the stool.
The mantelpiece passed through the hole behind Ariana's portrait. After Ryan entered, others filed in, and finally Aberforth was left standing quietly in the living room.
The situation in the tunnel is much better than expected. The entrance to the tunnel is paved with smooth stone steps, and brass lamps are hung on the walls to shine a warm yellow light around. After walking forward for a while, the stone slabs disappeared from the ground.
Only dirt was left. But it was not the rough road with potholes and rocks and tree roots like in other tunnels, but a very smooth and hard dirt road.
The slope of the passage was very steep, so everyone gasped slightly after walking for a while. Although everyone's voice was not loud, the gasps of more than 20 people still sounded in the dark tunnel.
Finally, after turning a corner, everyone came to the end of the passage. Like the entrance, there was a short set of stone steps leading to a door, exactly like the door behind Ariana's portrait.
After gently pushing the door open, what appeared in front of them was an empty room that looked only as big as a small classroom. There was nothing in the room except five or six torches on the wall and a door on the opposite wall.
No.
"How come I've never been here?" "What is this place?" "I don't remember this house in Hogwarts." "Yeah, there's no way I haven't heard of such a unique room."
After everyone came in, several guerrillas muttered that after all, they had all graduated from here before, so they were naturally curious to encounter a room that basically no one had seen before.
"This is the Room of Requirement, a secret room belonging to Hogwarts Castle." Ryan, who has used the Room of Requirement many times, quickly determined where it was based on the path just now and the magic reaction in the room. "He
The door is opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor where the troll beats Barnabas silly, but it is always hidden."
"So that's it." Several guerrillas nodded, and then one of them walked to the door and planned to open it. But suddenly a transparent wall of air appeared in front of him, blocking his right hand from reaching for the door handle.
"Ever since someone tried to attack Horwarts through here at the end of last semester, I have placed traps around the entire Room of Requirement. If you go out like this, all the traps will be activated." Ryan squeezed over and explained to the guerrilla,
Then he took out his wand and knocked on the doorknob.
Everyone in the room felt for a moment as if a strong static electricity was scanning over them, and the hairs on their bodies stood up. At the same time, they saw a pink light covering the entire room, with a large number of complex or simple lights.
The magical symbols first emerged from the wall after being illuminated by these lights, and then dimmed again.
"We can go out now," after the last symbol dimmed and disappeared into the wall, the door opened with a bang. So everyone saw it, and everyone saw the troll stick on the wall opposite the door.
Tapestry of Beating Barnabas Silly. After the door opened, Ryan turned around and said to everyone in the room. "Everyone had better move faster, because those traps will be reactivated in two minutes. Of course, if we all go out
When the door is closed, the trap will also be activated."
After listening to Ryan's words, everyone quickly lined up in two teams and filed out of the door. When the last person came out of the room, he closed the door. When the two doors were closed together, a large number of runes of various colors emerged from the door.
emerged.
"Next, we should notify the people in the castle -" Lupine said, standing next to Ryan, but before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of wooden sticks hitting the floor from the stairs.
"Armor protection." "Collapsed." A red light shot from the direction of the stairs, and was blocked by a barrier. After blocking a stun spell, Ryan shouted to the direction of the stairs: "We are Huo
The reinforcements that Germod came through the secret passage are not Death Eaters."
"Prove your identity." Moody's voice came from the bottom of the stairs. "Only one person can come to the stairs to communicate with me, otherwise I will attack directly."
"I'll go, you guys wait here." Ryan ordered and stretched out his wings, then slowly floated up a foot. Then he flew all the way to the stairs. When he looked down
, and sure enough, he saw Moody below, using the cover of the armrest to point his wand at him.
"It turns out it's you, Ryan." Moody put down the raised wand after seeing Ryan floating out. "Let those reinforcements come down. I believe no one can threaten you and let you bring people in."
After everyone came over, they followed Moody all the way down the stairs to join the others. On the way, Ryan and Lupine began to ask about the current situation at Hogwarts.
"The situation at Hogwarts is not good now," Moody said seriously. "Voldemort and the Death Eaters are attacking the outer protective shield like crazy. Even if we try our best to resist the protective shield, it can only last ten minutes at most.
.This is why your magical sculptures have been poking the Death Eater in the back, preventing him from attacking with all his strength."
At this time, they happened to pass the corner of a staircase, and Ryan saw that the statues and armors in the castle were now standing in neat lines in the courtyard. At the same time, there was also a howling wind caused by some magic spells in the playground.
