Chapter 156 Hogwarts Control Center

After sighing, Feeney said calmly,

"It's still about Professor Rich, but this time, I found out what his problem is,"

After hearing this, Dumbledore stopped joking with Feeney and looked at Feeney solemnly.

"what is the problem?"

Feeney said,

"Since Professor Rich came back from Christmas, he has called different students to his office every week, from all grades, and they will stay in his office for a few hours to one night each time,"

"I have also asked students who have been to his office. They all just teach, but when I ask what specifically they teach, they can't remember."

When Dumbledore heard this, he frowned and looked at Feeney sitting on the chair in front of him, understanding that this matter was true.

And it is indeed, as Feeney said, full of doubts.

It is understandable for a professor to ask students to go to his office, but once a week is a bit too deliberate.

And the students who are called each time are different. This in itself is not a problem, but compared with the frequency of once a week, it is a problem.

Not to mention, it only started after returning from Christmas, and there was no problem in this regard before Christmas.

And before Christmas, it happened to be the time when he paid attention to him, so he didn't have the chance to do anything?

It was very possible that after Christmas, when he thought he was no longer harmful, he started to do tricks.

At this time, Dumbledore suddenly realized a problem and looked at Feeney.

"When did you become aware of Professor Rich?"

Feeney said,

"Just now, I came to you immediately when I discovered the problem,"

"So he just called another student away?"

Feeney nodded and said,

"Well, it's the Knott boy. If he hadn't been called away, I wouldn't have realized the problem with Professor Rich's behavior."

Dumbledore's face changed color after hearing this.

He looked at Feeney seriously and said,

"So, Mr. Nott is in Rich's office now? And he is very likely to be in some danger?"

Feeney also reacted when he heard this. Nott was still there at this time and nodded.

"That's what it looks like now."

Dumbledore sighed and walked upstairs to his office.

Originally, according to Feeney, the attic above the principal's office was his lounge.

It wasn't until he followed Dumbledore in that he realized that this place was completely different from what he had imagined.

It's true that it's a lounge, but it's not just one floor. There's another layer of space above this lounge.

And that's where Dumbledore is going at this time.

Vaguely, Feeney seemed to have guessed where that place was.

Following Dumbledore to this level of space, he saw an empty room.

In the middle of the room is a table with a model of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on it.

Not only the castle, but also the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch pitch and other places within the scope of Hogwarts. It can be said that there are places on the Marauder's Map here, and there are also places not on the map. .

In the air above the model, there is a crystal ball floating in the air, filled with thick white fog.

This may be the control center of Hogwarts that Feeney had previously speculated.

Dumbledore's next actions also proved his idea,

In the meantime, he tapped the Hogwarts castle model with his wand, and the model began to change, opening up to reveal what was inside.

Although this model is small, it is like a real castle. The stairs and classrooms are exactly the same, and they are constantly changing like reality.

Then Dumbledore pointed his wand at the crystal ball in the air, and a burst of white light emitted from it and enveloped the model.

As the light shines, some illusory scenes appear on the model, which are individual characters. If you look carefully, you can see that it is the professors and young wizards in Hogwarts at this time.

This scene made Finny's eyes change when he looked at Dumbledore. It's really not surprising that he thought too much. With such an object placed above Dumbledore's bedroom, everyone would wonder if he was peeping.

Dumbledore seemed to have sensed Finny's thoughts, or maybe he knew about it through Legilimency.

Anyway, the moment Feeney turned to look at him, he said,

"I didn't do that. This thing requires a lot of magic power every time it is activated. Even I don't activate it often."

Feeney was stunned. He felt that Dumbledore's explanation seemed to be quibbling.

Dumbledore may have noticed it, so he stopped talking and controlled the wand, moving the perspective of the castle model in front of him to the office of the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, who is now Richie.

Neither Rich nor Nott was in the office at this time.

This scene also made both Finny and Dumbledore look very ugly.

Richie was not in the office, and Nort was not there either, which meant that their previous guesses were correct. Richie calling students to his office every week was definitely for his ultimate purpose.

From Dumbledore's point of view, Nott was dangerous at this time, but from Finny's point of view, Ridge's presence made him even more dangerous.

Dumbledore, who had not discovered Ritchie's whereabouts, did not bother to check the specific situation here. He hurriedly turned and walked towards Ritchie's office. He was going to investigate on the spot to see if he had missed any important clues.

Feeney did not leave with Dumbledore. Compared to Nott's safety, he cared more about what he could get here.

As for Richie, now that Dumbledore is gone, even if he really had any plans, he would declare bankruptcy today.

When he saw the castle and the crystal ball, Feeney understood that this was where the Marauders created the Marauder's Map. But, how did they create the Marauder's Map here?

You know, their principal when they were in school was Dumbledore, and what they needed to make the Marauder's Map here was to avoid Dumbledore's ideas.

And downstairs is Dumbledore's bedroom. It is very difficult to do this.

But they still succeeded, and the Marauder's Map was not discovered by Dumbledore.

And because of that map, they had never been discovered during their several night trips to Hogwarts and participated in many adventures.

Feeney was skeptical about this, and at the same time felt that he had overlooked something.

However, this is not important at this time, because Dumbledore left too quickly, so the castle model was not closed at this time.
