399 Similar intruder, special Boggart

399 Similar intruder, special Boggart

Since there was no further interruption, the four people under the invisibility cloak quickly arrived near the Forbidden Lake under the leadership of Karan.

"call--"

After running for a long time, Harry slowly exhaled and sighed to Karan: "You are really familiar with the Forbidden Forest."

Draco said nothing, but he felt that this was not a good thing.

Karan stared at the calm lake.

Once again, he came here - the ruins of the Forbidden Lake.

The last time the wizards broke in was a half-blood, a Muggle-born, and two pure-bloods.

What Karan didn't expect was that this time it was surprisingly the same.

Harry is a half-blood wizard, Callan is still a Muggle-born, and Draco and Gaspard are both purebloods.

"Let's go," he said.

Under Gespard's arrangement, the four of them wore earplugs to avoid hearing the screams of the female ghost.

On the other hand, Harry and Draco helped the two cast the head soaking spell.

Facing the faint moonlight, four figures jumped into the cold lake water one after another.

The whole world became quiet at this moment, and all Karan could hear was the faint beating of his heart and the sound of blood flowing in the blood vessels in his ears.

The bottom of the lake became pitch black at night and nothing could be seen clearly.

Among the few people, only Karan knew the exact direction of the gate to the Forbidden Lake ruins.He slowly took out his ash wand and cast a spark spell along the depths of the lake bottom.

Although he can no longer cast some powerful advanced magic, this only makes Karan return to the level of a third-year student. The spark spell cannot trouble him.

A long string of green light left a long mark in the lake water, and the sharp-eyed Karan immediately discovered a unique place.

He waved to a few people and motioned for them to follow him and swim to the bottom of the lake.

Soon, they swam to Karan's target.

Harry and Draco's eyes were a little surprised, while Guspard's eyes were even more obsessed.

Only Karan frowned slightly.

At the bottom of the Forbidden Lake, there is an ancient stone door, which is emitting a faint silver light, like the bright moonlight.

On the edge of the stone door, there are strange letters and symbols carved on it.

These are ancient runes, which translated mean "Don't disturb the sleeping dragon".

The scene before him roughly matched Karan's memory.

But there is only one difference.

[This is an intact stone door. 】

[But in Karan's family generation, the lower right corner of the stone door he encountered was missing a small piece, which was also the key to the female ghost being able to escape the ruins of the Forbidden Lake - because the seal was broken. 】

In fact, Karan had anticipated this since hearing that Harry did not know the existence of the Two-Way Mirror and the Marauder's Map.

Either James and the others failed to overcome the problems left by the two founders, or there was something wrong with the Forbidden Lake ruins themselves.

Now, everything has an answer.

The problem lies in the ruins of the Forbidden Lake. The originally damaged slate door became intact again, so it did not lead to the adventure that James and his group should have followed. They also failed to obtain the double-sided mirror and the Marauder's Map.

【Another unique place. 】

Karan said silently in his heart.

There are already many doubts about the ruins of the Forbidden Lake. Karan has not been able to figure out who left the handwriting of "Sleep Dragon, Do Not Disturb", but now it has added more doubts.

The other three people didn't know what Karan was thinking. Harry had already swam to the stone door impatiently. He stretched out a hand and was trying to open the stone door.

Easily, the stone door began to move slowly - this was just like Karan's last experience - the existence of the stone door was only to prevent the things inside from coming out, not to prevent outsiders from entering.

Behind the door is a mirror that seems to be covered with water mist, making it difficult to see clearly.

After getting Karan's nod in agreement, the three of them gradually felt relieved. They swam to the entrance one by one, landed on the hard ground, and came to a deep corridor.

"It's amazing."

Harry silently felt the strange feeling. The few people now stepped on the corridor that was vertical to the ground. They should have fallen along the corridor, but such a terrifying thing did not happen.

No one heard Harry's sigh, but the moment they broke into the ruins of the Forbidden Lake, several people felt the earplugs in their ears vibrating at the same time!

This was caused by the scream of a female ghost!

A dark figure floated slowly from the end of the corridor. Its face was like a skeleton. It was the female ghost that Karan had warned about before!

"let me!"

Harry forgot about the fact that several people could not hear him, but he still spoke loudly, and immediately took out the laughter potion prepared by Guspard, and then threw it at the female ghost with all his strength.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Harry aimed at the glass bottle in the air and cast an explosive spell. This was much less powerful than Karan, but it was enough to shatter the glass bottle.

A small part of the laughter potion was spilled, but more of the potion was accurately thrown into the female ghost's open mouth.

The shrill screams suddenly turned into ugly laughter.

After observing carefully for a while, several people took off the earplugs.

"It doesn't seem like anything rare."

Harry said while staring at the female ghost who was running away in panic.

"I hope you will think so soon." Karan said casually, and he quickly walked towards the end of the corridor, with the other three following closely behind him.

A vast hall suddenly appeared, almost as big as the Great Hall of Hogwarts Castle.Countless Gubulai fairy fires floated in the air, surrounding the two huge statues in the center of the hall.

One is a bright red and gold lion, the other is a giant snake surrounded by green and silver.

The two lifelike statues seemed to be alive, warning each other, about to bite and attack each other fiercely.

Just like Snape when he came here for the first time - Harry and Draco were shocked.

"There is such a miraculous building underneath the school."

Harry murmured softly: "Even more exaggerated than Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets... Why did the two founders do this?"

Karan told several people about his previous guesses - that it was an experimental site specially built to protect Hogwarts. What Gryffindor wanted was an inanimate statue, but Salazar Slytherin But he set his sights on the more terrifying non-existence.

"Thankfully Slytherin didn't succeed..."

Harry said happily. He looked at another Slytherin. Draco had the same idea in his mind. He was at least very sure that he would not like Dementors. This was not only because of Dementors. The despair brought about was even more because they were the guards of Azkaban - and his parents had been trapped in that prison for a long time.

Under the leadership of Karan, the four of them walked to the bottom of the giant snake statue. They all saw the writing on the stone door at the entrance to the statue.

[The students we teach must be shrewd and ambitious, pursuing the highest achievements, and at the same time, they must be thoughtful. 】

[Be a true Slytherin. 】

Harry murmured thoughtfully: "Real Slytherin...what does this mean?"

Draco on the side was also thinking about the meaning of this sentence.

Gespard turned to look at Karan - although Karan had never mentioned anything related to the ruins of the Forbidden Lake, it was obvious that he had been here.

"This is just a test."

Karan explained in a low voice: "A test related to a portrait on the third floor. But before that, we still need to urgently solve a special Boggart on the second floor. It is a bit weird, and it is also a creation of Slytherin himself. , the ability is very strange - I can only rely on you two for a while."

While suppressing the pain, it was difficult for Callan to guarantee whether he could kill that special Boggart. Gaspard's magic was too weak, and the only people present who could provide help were Harry and Draco.

"No problem." Harry nodded and said, feeling a little nervous. He believed in Karan and would not underestimate that special Boggart.

"But what to do with that statue?" Draco turned to look at the lion statue, knowing very well that it was obviously a legacy of Gryffindor himself.

"Someone will solve it." Karan said. He asked James and Regulus for help to solve the problem of the lion statue.

So, unlike last time, two pure-bloods, one half-blood, and one Muggle-born all entered Slytherin's giant snake statue.

But it is very similar. Among the four wizards, none is a pure-blood supremacist, not even Draco Malfoy is any longer.

Perhaps, this is what Slytherin himself wanted before the change.

A true Slytherin never cares about the so-called blood content.

Smart, ambitious, pursuing the highest achievements, but also thoughtful.

And the omnipotent black magic...

This is the real Slytherin.

The spiraling stairs are stacked on top of each other like snake bodies, and lanterns glowing green are tied to chains on the ceiling. They are surrounded by dark green tones, giving off an aura of nobility and coldness.

Karan did not stay long at these familiar scenes. The other three also understood that now was not the time to play. They finally came to an old wooden door. Karan slowly pushed the wooden door open, revealing that it was like a laboratory inside. Half of the room was covered with dust, and the other half was empty with nothing.

This was originally the place where the female ghost should stay. The test set by Slytherin was to let the intruder prepare a laughing potion to control the female ghost on the other side of the room.

But after hundreds of years have passed, the glass bottles in the ingredient cabinet have long since become empty, and the magic that trapped the female ghost has long since expired, which allowed the female ghost to escape first.

"Are you all ready?"

Before leaving the room, Callan asked Harry and Draco that the next thing they had to face was the Boggart.

Gaspar watched this scene with peace of mind. His strength was not in magic spells, otherwise he would not have asked Karan to learn so many magic spells when making magic threads.

After receiving a positive answer, several people continued to walk up the exit stairs.

Soon, they heard strange noises coming from the second floor.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

That was the sound of the Boggart banging on the door. It had noticed that there were other visitors outside the door, and it couldn't help but absorb their fear.

Callan and Gaspard hid at the lower steps of the wooden door. Only Harry and Draco walked forward slowly and cautiously.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked concerned.

He could probably guess what the Boggart he encountered would look like - in fact, he had already encountered it, either a dementor representing fear, or the night his parents were killed.

But in the face of the fear he was about to face, Draco's face still couldn't help but look a little pale.

"No... no problem." Draco took a deep breath, and then nodded vigorously at Harry.

Under the impact of the unlocking spell, the wooden door slowly opened.

Harry and Draco stood side by side - this is the usual way to deal with Boggarts. That would make the Boggarts not know what to turn into, and might instead turn into a combination of the two fears. That doesn't look scary at all.

Although Callan said that this method probably wouldn't work and that special Boggarts did not have this weakness, Harry and Draco still wanted to give it a try.

However, before the wooden door could be fully opened, Harry suddenly let out a painful whimper. He felt as if his forehead was about to explode, and the sharp blade was inserted into his head along the scar marks.

"Harry, Harry!"

Draco was frightened and overwhelmed by the unexpected development. Callan and Gaspard at the bottom of the stairs also heard Harry's painful whimpering - but the situation suddenly became more critical after the wooden door was completely opened!

"Draco Malfoy!"

A deep voice rushed out of the room, and then an old but majestic figure appeared.

Both Callan and Gaspard recognized each other's identity - Abraxas Malfoy. He was Draco Malfoy's grandfather, but they never expected that he was also Draco's deepest fear. !

In such a panic situation, Draco had no time to react in time. He looked at his grandfather blankly.

At this time, Abraxas Malfoy continued: "Remember, you are not allowed to mention this matter again!"

Draco's lips trembled, and he subconsciously asked what he had said: "Why don't you let me see my biological parents?"

Abraxas Malfoy stared at Draco closely. After a short while, he suddenly said coldly and ruthlessly: "Because they are already dead. They died in Azkaban a long time ago." .”

"So never make such a request again, they are already dead!"

"already dead!"

"This is impossible!" Draco shouted through gritted teeth: "They were obviously just imprisoned in Azkaban by the Dark Lord and were not executed!"

"Nothing is impossible."

Abraxas Malfoy glanced at Draco lightly, and an extremely fanatical expression suddenly appeared on his face - Callan had seen the same expression on Bellatrix's face. look.

He said excitedly and crazily: "In order to gain the Dark Lord's trust, I can do anything."

"So, I killed them with my own hands in Azkaban."

"This is for the supreme glory of pure blood!"

"Nobody can stop me!"

"nobody!"
