Chapter 13 Night Tour
11pm, Hogwarts, Hufflepuff common room.
The little wizards have all gone to sleep,
The fat monk, the school ghost, has also gone through the wall to a secret room. Ghosts are not very common in Hogwarts late at night, because they also have their own social circle.
Raven naturally knew about this, so he walked as naturally as if it were daytime.
Exit the common room door,
In the corridor corridor at the door, a brazier is lit.
The brazier illuminated the wall, and the walls to the left and right of it were covered with paintings.
There are objects and people. Of course, the characters may have wandered into other paintings, leaving only the background of the objects.
Raven walked up to these paintings, and the portraits who didn't visit looked at the little wizard curiously.
They were curious about how the little wizard discovered the secrets here so quickly.
Ignoring these glances, Raven walked straight to the largest fruit painting.
In the picture frame are pots full of fruits.
Raven skillfully scratched the pear in the picture, and the pear sprouted facial features and laughed.
The pear, which fainted from laughter, turned into a doorknob. After unscrewing it, the Hogwarts kitchen was revealed.
The first thing you see when entering the kitchen is a huge soup pot, so big that a spiral wooden ladder needs to be built around the soup pot so that the chefs can put the ingredients into the pot.
It was already late at night, but the flames under the soup pot did not stop. It was still licking the bottom of the pot, cooking breakfast for the little wizards.
The house elf on the night shift was cleaning the cups and plates in the kitchen. He didn't expect that there would be little wizards visiting at this hour. Today's dinner was particularly sumptuous, and the little wizards should all be full.
Could it be a little wizard of giant or troll descent? Sada the house elf thought.
"Hello... hello little wizard, how can Sada help you?" the house elf asked Raven timidly, holding up a rag.
Raven nodded and said with a kind smile.
"Don't be nervous, little Sada, I want to know who is your leader? How old is he this year?"
Sada was very confused, why did the little wizard in front of him ask the age of their house elf leader?
But as an elf employee of Hogwarts, he would not refuse the requests of the little wizards, so he answered truthfully.
"Our current team leader is Lao Guge. He is 140 years old this year."
House elves and goblins have similar life spans, both around 200 years old, so Old Goog is indeed an old elf.
"Today's Dixi pie is probably made by Gu Ge. He has always been good at this and it's delicious.
I actually came here to ask you to help me bring a message to Guge. "
Guge is one of the house elves that Raven trained back then. He is indeed a house elf with great talent as a chef.
"Please tell me, I will definitely bring it to you." Sada replied.
Raven nodded,
"At five o'clock tomorrow morning, please help me prepare a Cantonese-style morning tea and deliver it to Hufflepuff's long table."
Sada looked at Raven in confusion. He didn't understand the meaning of the word [Cantonese-style morning tea].
"A hundred years ago, there was a Professor of Magical Zoology named Haoying who liked breakfast like this. Gu Ge will teach you how to make it. In addition, this bag of [Phoenix Single Cong] is used for tea." Raven explained.
Although he still didn't understand, Sada accepted the tea prepared by Raven and said that he would convey Raven's words to Lao Guge.
After saying that, Raven looked around the kitchen again.
This is an underground space about the same size as an auditorium.
In fact, it's right below the auditorium,
In the middle are four long tables that are exactly the same as those in the auditorium. They are placed corresponding to the long tables in the auditorium. The house elves will place food on the kitchen table during meal time. After receiving the instructions from the principal, , will use magic together to send the food up.
The rest of the kitchen is filled with huge pumpkins, sinks, stoves, sideboards, etc.
Soon Raven's eyes were fixed on several tables side by side. Even though it was late at night, there were very sumptuous meals placed on them.
As if he had some idea, under Sada's hesitant gaze, Raven packed away all the cakes, desserts and candies.
"Ignatia Willsmith, this guy was removed for being too verbose? Today's Floo fan network is really inconvenient."
As Raven climbed the astronomy tower, she missed the convenience of traveling in the past.
Ignatia Willsmith, inventor of Floo Powder,
This travel-loving witch carved her portrait into a stone sign before her death, and underneath the sign was a palm-sized brazier.
Throw Floo powder in and you'll be able to travel quickly.
Statue of Ignatia Willsmith
These small statues were once everywhere. There are more than a dozen Hogwarts alone, distributed in various places.
The little wizards only need to spend 2 Sickles and a spoonful of Floo powder to teleport within the school. Of course, they also need to endure the nonsense of the inventor. The witch is a chatterbox.
What now? Floo powder can only be transferred between fireplaces.
Raven had to climb to the eighth floor in such a late night.
Of course, it also has something to do with Raven himself, because although Phoenix Phineas can take him to the door of the Room of Requirement, but in this way, he will inevitably be contaminated with the smell of the Phoenix, and he will be picked up by Old Dick. smell.
He wanted to give Old Dick a surprise.
Raven walked to the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas the fool, took out the portable "Practical Guide" and restored it to its original state.
Tapestry of troll beating foolish Barnabas
Magic is injected into it, and the cover of the parchment emits a light blue shimmer, which is a sign of ancient magic.
The glimmer of light gathered and followed the lines of the book cover to form the Hogwarts school emblem.
Raven took the book and walked back and forth in front of the tapestry three times.
The Room of Requirement did not appear. Instead, a group of silver water ripples appeared on the ground. After the water ripples subsided, a mirror seemed to be placed on the ground.
Raven walked up and entered the ancient magical space behind the mirror.
This base was indeed part of the Room of Requirement.
But while studying Hogwarts, the ancient magic base, Raven separated him and opened up an ancient magic plane parallel to the Room of Requirement.
Unlike the Room of Requirement which needs to be powered by Hogwarts,
The energy of this base is delivered through the "Practical Guide" in hand.
This is equivalent to opening a channel between the "Practical Guide" and the base.
The holder can enter the base area through the "Practical Guide", a function he developed with reference to Newt's portable zoo.
It's just that... the passage is there, but there is a lock at the base. It's so good that it's not dead. This lock is not certified by the soul.
This is also the main purpose of Raven's night trip, to obtain the base's certification of this body through formal channels.
What are formal channels?
That is to pass your own test and inherit your own base again.
