Professor Flitwick quickly restored the common room to its original appearance, waved to Hilliard, and walked away.
Hilliard followed step by step and went straight to the principal's office.
Glenn watched the two people walk out of the door, feeling slightly relieved.
Although the future prefect suffered a little more, he was finally rescued from Patricia's evil hands.
In terms of Glenn's perspective.
This incident started because of him. If he could help but stood idly by, if the other party embarked on a path of no return, it might really become a difficult hurdle for him to overcome.
In addition, after today, Dumbledore should do something.
Different from the time when Glenn encountered Avada chewing a big melon, this time the Imperius Curse has been exposed to the eyes of the Ravenclaw eaglets and Professor Flitwick. This is no longer just a simple test. .
Seeing that Patricia's actions are becoming more and more unscrupulous, if some measures are not taken against her, there will probably be even greater trouble.
The principal should know this very well.
After watching the excitement in the lounge, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Glenn followed everyone back to the dormitory.
It was not until late at night that he confirmed that both roommates were snoring slightly, then quietly put on his coat, quietly opened the door, and walked down the stairs softly.
As expected, the lounge was empty, not a soul in sight.
When Hilliard was exploring in the morning, Glenn couldn't see clearly due to the angle and distance restrictions, so he planned to check it out himself.
He stepped behind the Ravenclaw statue, recalled it for a moment, then pointed his wand at the base of the statue and muttered in a low voice.
"Trace appears!
Invisible magic power was emitted, and there was an immediate reaction on the base.
A circular hole was faintly outlined.
The brilliance danced, sprinkling some scattered golden light spots, which flickered a few times like small sparks.
Just as Glenn was about to take a closer look, the golden light suddenly restrained itself and disappeared in an instant, as if nothing had appeared on the base.
it is as expected.
He nodded to himself. The situation was almost as he guessed.
This location should indeed be the entrance to the library, but if you want to activate the passage, you need to think of other ways.
He pursed his lips and thought hard.
The Big Four are all figures from a thousand years ago, and Rowena Ravenclaw's private library also has a history of nearly a thousand years.
The commonly used lock-opening spell "Alaho Cave" is much later than this time. It did not gradually appear in the public eye until after the 17th century, so there is no need to try it.
On the contrary, its predecessors, "Open Door" and "Open Sesame", two older spells, are worth a try.
Glenn raised his wand again with a no-try mentality. He didn't specifically redeem the proficiency level, and the level just barely reached the entry level.
"Open Sesame!"
A flash of red light appeared on the tip of the staff, and then shot out, accurately hitting the spot where the hole had just appeared.
According to the knowledge Glenn read in the book, although "Open Sesame" is also classified as a lock-opening spell, its actual effect is different. It seems more appropriate to describe it as a "door-breaking spell".
The book describes its effect as tearing the door off its hinges and reducing it to pieces.
Therefore, the magic contained in this particular lock-picking spell is much more violent than "Alaho Cave Opening".
But the strange thing is that the red light is like a mud cow entering the sea, disappearing directly in the place where it was shot.
Glenn gently touched the base of the statue and found that it was still smooth, with a bit of marble coldness, leaving no trace, as if it had never been hit.
This is amazing.
He sat cross-legged on the stall and scratched his head, but he was not upset because his attempt was fruitless.
After all, according to what Professor Flitwick revealed, it was probably not just my grandfather who had explored the library. He himself was probably also a friend of the team back then.
It would be a bit strange if the mysterious space that could stump the future top wand master and Ravenclaw Headmaster for three whole years could be cracked so easily.
But if you think about it carefully, a library reserved for young wizards who have not graduated should not require any advanced magic.
Glenn recalled Professor Flitwick's emphasis on "wisdom and observation."
Observation...
Could it be said that the secret of entering the passage is hidden in the details?
He walked around to the front of the statue and carefully observed every detail, even the folds of the robe.
Seeing that the fire in the fireplace was getting fainter, the moonlight outside the window became hazy.
Remembering Professor Snape's extracurricular enrichment class the next day, Glenn left the sculpture and rubbed the sore back of his neck.
It's almost March now, and there really isn't much time left.
He sighed softly, climbed the stairs, and returned to his dormitory.
...
The next morning, the sun penetrated the curtains of the four-poster bed, gently waking Glenn up.
Since he got up a little late, he quickly tidied up and went straight to the underground Slytherin Headmaster's office without bothering to go to the Great Hall for breakfast.
The aloof Professor Snape was still dressed in black robes, with a stern face, and his greasy half-length hair stuck to his ears.
Windsor Moriarty and Philla Foley, who joined the advanced class before Christmas, were waiting in the office early again.
Glenn smiled and said hello to the professor, then nodded slightly to the two of them, his eyes falling on the round table in the middle.
Today was different from the past. There was only a crucible with a lid and a weak flame on the table, and there were no equipment or other materials prepared for them to practice.
The other two people also looked puzzled, waiting for Professor Snape to speak.
"I will introduce you to a magic potion that only sixth grade students learn," the professor said in his low, lazy tone when Glenn came in and stood up. "If your brains are smart enough, I will I will guide you to complete the preparation of this potion in the next time."
He glanced at the three of them, turned to Moriarty and Foley, pointed at Glenn and said: "Although you two are students in my college, I have to admit that there is still a certain gap between your level and his. .”
Hearing this, Foley seemed a little unconvinced, but he did not dare to contradict the always majestic dean. He could only grit his teeth secretly and planned to prove himself with his strength.
Moriarty also glanced at Glenn secretly, wrinkled his nose, and made a face with great effort. Not only did he not look very fierce, but he looked a bit arrogant and cute.
Professor Snape walked to the table in two steps and reached out to lift the lid of the cauldron.
Glenn's eyes narrowed, could this be...
Hilliard followed step by step and went straight to the principal's office.
