He didn't stay in the pub for too long. After drinking the sparkling water on hand, Xing Ze left without hesitation.
On Halloween night, the students were enjoying a sumptuous dinner, just as described in the original novel - Quirrell rushed into the dining room.
Before he could name the troll, Xing Ze, who was at the gate, rushed out. He walked along the corridor, climbed the spiral staircase, and quickly arrived in the restricted area.
A sound of footsteps came from the dark corridor opposite him. Xing Ze hid in the darkness and cast a covering spell.
Several sneaky figures appeared, five in total, all wearing hooded robes and masks. Xing Ze was not confident in confronting five wizards, not to mention that there might be a banshee and a werewolf among them.
"Hurry up, we don't have much time." urged the wizard wearing a golden mask. He was walking at the front of the team and was extremely strong.
A tall wizard behind him stepped forward and cast an Alaho opening on the door at the other end.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished reciting the spell, the wizard flew backwards and hit the wall hard. The impact made him faint.
Xing Ze raised his lips slightly, things went smoothly unexpectedly, he didn't expect to kill someone so quickly.
"Damn it, there's an anti-theft charm on it!" Golden Mask growled.
Another wizard wearing a dead wood mask muttered in confusion: "But...but the master said, this is just an ordinary gate."
"Then open it quickly." Jin Mask urged again.
"Let me try." A female voice sounded, and the others moved out of the way. The witch first used a counter-spell, and all the remaining anti-theft spells on the door were eliminated.
Then she cast another Alajo to open the door. After confirming that there was no danger, she reached out and opened the door. The wizard behind immediately cast a silencing spell.
Do they want to break in and steal the magic stone? Xing Ze frowned. He really had an idea.
The wizard with the dead wood mask stayed behind to look after his companions, while the other three quickly walked into the door. Due to the existence of the silencing spell, Xing Ze could not hear what was going on inside.
But judging from the continuously shining light, the battle must have been fierce. At this moment, a deep voice sounded, and the wizard who was looking after his companions screamed and fell to the ground.
Xing Ze understood that the rescuers had arrived. Snape looked gloomily and waved the magic spell, and the silencing spell was lifted. The roar of the three-headed dog Lu Wei soon resounded throughout the corridor.
Two of the wizards inside jumped out and hurriedly cast magic to stop Snape.
But a figure suddenly flashed out from the shadows. His speed was astonishing. The wizard with the black iron mask was caught off guard. He received a punch in the stomach, the force of which made him want to vomit.
The unfinished black magic brought backlash, and the magic flowed into his body along the wand.
"Ah -" he cried out in pain.
Snape faced off against the wizard, and the strength of the two was obviously not on the same level. Under Snape's continuous attacks, it was only a matter of time before the wizard failed.
But at this moment, a magic sword was shot from Snape's back. "Be careful!" Xing Ze reminded.
Snape dodged the magic sword, but he was no longer able to worry about the spell cast by the wizard.
Fortunately, Xing Ze's magic missile arrived in time, and the wizard's wand was hit by the missile. The wand flicked, and the spell cast only cut Snape's calf.
Just when Xing Ze wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, the wizard with a golden mask rushed out of the door, and his robe covered the sky and the earth like a curtain.
"Stay back!" Snape shouted. He endured the pain and ran back. The wand in his hand danced rapidly, and a dazzling light rose up, piercing people's eyes.
Then, Xing Ze heard the sound of glass breaking, and then the night breeze poured into the corridor. The light gradually faded, but all the mysterious wizards disappeared.
Xing Ze quickly walked to the broken window. In the sky, a black mist was gradually disappearing.
"What magic was that just now?" he asked Snape.
"Black Curtain," the Potions Master replied, "one of the dark arts created by Grindelwald."
He didn't explain too much. He just waved his wand and the broken window instantly returned to its original state. Then he pointed the wand at the door.
With a "bang" sound, the door closed heavily, and Lu Wei's roar from behind the door was still there, which indicated that it was probably nothing serious.
"What are you doing here?" After finishing these things, Snape finally began to question Xing Ze.
"Same as your purpose." Xing Ze put away his wand and replied.
Snape's face was full of distrust, "I'm curious how you expected this attack."
"Rather than this, I think you should go to the women's bathroom. I just saw Harry and Ron going there. Of course, there should be the troll with them."
Snape frowned, and he quickly turned around, his robes following him in a beautiful circle.
"Don't touch that door." He said in an almost commanding tone, and then hurried towards the women's restroom downstairs.
What Xing Ze cares about is not the Magic Stone, but those mysterious wizards. Maybe tomorrow, he will have to go to the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid.
The news of the troll breaking into Hogwarts was published in the school newspaper, and Ron and Harry were also praised for their heroic actions.
Hermione has finally found her lifelong friend. Xing Ze closed the newspaper and thought to himself, the plot of the original novel is happening one by one, but there are many other things mixed in with it.
There is a connection between these changes, but he can't find it yet.
Professor Bubbaji walked into the office and brought him news - Dumbledore wanted him to go to the principal's office.
It seems that the trip to the Forbidden Forest will be postponed. Xing Ze thanked him, got up and walked towards the teaching building.
Because of Halloween, students and teachers have a day off. Taking advantage of this day, students can organize adventures at Hogwarts. In addition to the restricted areas specified by the school, they can explore various places in the school.
Many teachers also decorate their offices to make their students' adventures more interesting.
Dumbledore arranged the principal's office into a small dragon's lair. Where the bookshelf should have been, a fire dragon was sleeping on a pile of gold coins.
"Sit down, Xing Ze." Dumbledore poked his head out from upstairs. He was about to hang a huge tarantula toy on the ceiling.
"Is there a student council here for you?"
"Not many, but there will always be mischievous and brave people who come to take risks." Dumbledore replied cheerfully, "I encourage students to have a spirit of exploration. You must know that all kinds of magic are performed by wizards.
Summed up through continuous exploration.”
"Always stay curious, just like you taught us." Xing Ze thought of his past in school.
"Yes, yes, stay curious. So, I want to ask about what happened in the restricted area last night."
"Oh, that's easy to say."
"It's a day off today, isn't it? We have plenty of time."
