461 Irregular Gryffindor
Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets?
Gryffindor actually has a secret room? !
Karan is now a little afraid of places like the Chamber of Secrets: Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and the Principal's Chamber of Secrets. When he discovered these two secret rooms, nothing good happened. On the contrary, it was extremely bad.
Lily also had the same doubts as Callan, and she immediately asked: "Why does Gryffindor want the Chamber of Secrets?"
"You'll know in a minute." Saoirse said without looking back.
Lily gritted her teeth angrily, and Snape whispered some words of comfort.
But soon, Karan discovered that there was something wrong with the direction Saoirse was leading. She didn't even plan to go downstairs, but walked straight to the other side of the corridor, and finally stopped in front of the blank wall. .
Karan was surprised: "Isn't this the Room of Requirement?"
"The Room of Requirement?" Saoirse turned her head: "This name sounds much better than the Duel Room."
Duel House?
Before the three of them could react, something magical happened.
Saoirse took out Hufflepuff's golden cup, filled it with water, and then poured it directly on the wall.
The water marks did not stay for long before miraculously disappearing.Then an old, bare wooden board appeared on the wall, with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on it.
Karan blinked hard before he dared to confirm that he was not dazzled.
"This was originally the door to the Ravenclaw common room."
Saoirse pointed to the door knocker and introduced: "The Ravenclaw common room is very interesting. You have to answer the questions correctly to get in."
"Okay, we have to start answering questions."
Saoirse knocked on the door lightly, and the eagle's beak immediately opened, but instead of making a bird's call, she said in a soft, musical voice: "Which comes first, the magic or the wizard?"
"Well...this question is much more difficult than last time." Saoirse said thoughtfully.
"what do y'all think?"
we think?
The minds of the three people went blank. Their minds were filled with indescribable confusion—how did this door appear here?Will Ravenclaw students lose access to the common room?
What about Hufflepuff's Gold Cup?
It was obviously just water, so why did the Room of Requirement suddenly change like this?
"Answer the question quickly." Saoirse was still urging, but she was stumped.
"Lily, come here, aren't you from Gryffindor House? Since you are so powerful, you should give it a try."
"I... why should I come first?" Lily retorted subconsciously: "The Fat Madam only needs the password, why do you need so much trouble?"
"You don't know the answer, right?" Saoirse asked keenly.
Lily glared back unceremoniously: "You don't know either, why should I know?"
"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel." Karan waved his hands: "Don't accidentally recruit Filch again. I don't want to be put in solitary confinement on the first day of school."
"There is magic first." Snape suddenly said seriously: "Even if there are no wizards, there are still magical animals, and they all have special magical abilities."
"It makes sense." After the voice said, the door knocker disappeared immediately, and the wooden board turned into the door.
Karan, Saoirse, and Lily were all staring at Snape.
Snape subconsciously took two steps back and asked nervously: "I...did I do something wrong?"
Saoirse shrugged her shoulders: "No, since you are a Slytherin, you have done nothing wrong. This shows that Slytherin is much better than Gryffindor."
"That's not true." Lily said angrily, as if she had been stepped on, "Sif is our friend, and we are the ones who should be happy."
"Ok."
Saoirse was not angry at all: "Then you can continue to be happy."
Lily stared closely at her back and roared like a little lion: "I'm so angry, so angry! I'm so angry!"
Snape stared blankly at this scene. Karan patted his shoulder in time and said in a regretful tone: "It seems that you have made a lot of mistakes. Keep working hard."
"What am I trying for?!" Snape shook his shoulders vigorously and shook Karan's palm away: "I blame you. If you were the one to answer the question, there wouldn't be so much trouble. Don't say you didn't come up with the answer. , you can’t lie to me.”
"Ah, I really thought of one." Karan put his fist on his chin and said: "Do you think it is possible that Muggles created magic, so that wizards came first and magic came later."
Snape glanced at him coldly, as if looking at a fool.
"Okay, okay." Karan said helplessly. This statement was indeed too ridiculous.
Saoirse had opened the door and walked in. Lily followed her, staring at her with eyes that wanted to kill her. Karan and Snape walked at the back.
When the door closes behind them, they no longer need the cloak.
Karan put away the invisibility cloak and observed the room.
The house looks very old-fashioned, like an antique, and like a training ground specially used for duels. The long carpet is spread on the floor, which should be the range used for duels.
At the end of the carpet stood a pair of smooth armor, which must have been cast by the goblins. Only the creations of the goblins did not need to be wiped, and they would never be stained with dust.
For some reason, when looking at this piece of armor, Karan had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
He still remembered what Saoirse called this room - the duel room.
"Um...what are we going to do next?"
Karan decided to be the first to break the silence and asked.
Saoirse had already walked to the shelf nearby. She pulled out a wooden sword and threw it towards Karan.
"Is that even a question?"
Saoirse pointed at the armor that suddenly came to life and said: "Of course we will defeat him! Defeat this wandering spirit in the world - Godric Gryffindor!"
At this moment, the armor's visor moved up and down twice, as if imitating the moving lips when speaking.
"Are you my enemies?!"
The armor raised the wooden sword in his hand and shouted: "Hahahaha! Come on! It doesn't matter one to four! Let's fight to our heart's content!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahaha...haha!" Karan exclaimed, and he quickly ran away to the right to avoid the sudden attack.
To be honest, this armor is quite elegant. It did not attack the other three unarmed people, but kept a close eye on Karan who was holding a wooden sword. Every attack was accompanied by loud laughter: "Hahahaha!"
"Is this the soul of Gryffindor?!"
Karan ran desperately and said, "Why is he smiling like a fool?"
"Hahahaha!" Armor laughed again: "Even if you insult my character, I will not slow down the speed of my sword! My mind is so broad that it is unimaginable. The Goblin King tried to take away my Even with the sword, I didn’t kill him, but spared his life!”
"The same goes for you! Kid! Watch it! Let's have a medieval-style duel!"
"Hahahaha!"
Snape was stunned, and Lily's cheeks turned red with inexplicable embarrassment. She felt ashamed when she thought that the founder of Gryffindor House had such a character.
It's so embarrassing.
"duel......"
Snape decided to ignore the absurd scene in front of him. He suddenly murmured: "Why do we have to duel? Isn't it the same as using magic to deal with him?"
"Don't!" Saoirse hurriedly stopped: "That is the armor made by the goblin that will never be damaged. We alone cannot defeat him with magic spells, and once we use magic, he can It’s not so easy to talk anymore.”
"What do you mean by being nice?" Snape asked immediately.
Saoirse didn't need to answer, Snape had already seen the answer with his own eyes.
Just when Karan was running out of breath, he suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop! I won't fight!"
The armor's footsteps paused: "This is not acceptable. A knight holding a sword and surrendering is not worthy of the noble name——"
"boom!"
Before Armor could finish his words, Karan threw away the wooden sword in his hand: "I have no weapons, I won't fight!"
Armor finally stopped: "Okay, let's wait until you have rested enough before we fight again, hahahaha!"
They watched helplessly as the armor walked to its original position, the other end of the carpet, and then stopped moving.
Snape blinked and asked curiously: "What will he become if we use magic?"
Saoirse's tone was a little aggrieved: "He won't be so easy to talk to by then. If he has to continue fighting, he can't stop unless he escapes from the room."
There was finally some sympathy in Lily's eyes when she looked at her.
"How pitiful," Lily said.
At this time, Karan limped back. He was out of breath and had a severe stomachache.
"Tell me about it."
He stared at Saoirse angrily: "What the hell is going on in Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets."
Saoirse told what happened.
What Karan didn't expect was that this was also related to Nagini.
In Saoirse's account at the beginning of the school year, Nagini was the one who handed her the gold cup.
It was also at that time that Saoirse overheard Nagini saying that there was a special room on the eighth floor of Hogwarts that could be changed at will.
That is, the Room of Requirement.
Saoirse thought Nagini was in that room, and she had always wanted to find him. Then by coincidence, she accidentally spilled the water in the gold cup on the wall, and the result was the same change as before.
Saoirse thought that Nagini might be hiding in the deepest part of this room. The prerequisite was to defeat the mark left by Gryffindor on the world - that warlike armor.
"Wait a minute."
Karan carefully clarified what Saoirse said: "Let's start from the beginning. How did Nagini find you in the first place? Is it also a coincidence?"
Saoirse shook her head and said, "Definitely not. I was still young at that time and was playing in my family's manor. Then Nagini suddenly appeared. She also said that she would soon turn into a python, and she was anxious to get the golden cup. Leave it to me and let me put it to good use.”
No matter how you listen to it, Karan feels that these are somewhat like last words.
He looked at each other with Snape and Lily respectively, and an inexplicable guess appeared in his mind: "Blood Curse, both of you are affected by the blood curse. Nagini must have mastered blood magic, so she found So similar to you."
"When she handed the gold cup to you, she must have hoped that you could resolve the effects of the blood curse, but Nagini herself..."
Speaking of this, Karan was also a little unsure. He didn't know if Nagini could survive such a long time, and he didn't know if Nagini had turned into a pure beast.
Once she turns into a python, even if Saoirse succeeds in finding a way to resolve the blood curse, is it still too late?
Not to mention that Saoirse herself was unable to save herself. She was still deeply affected by the blood curse.
Lily frowned and thought for a while, then raised her head and asked, "What about the Room of Requirement? Do you have any more clues?"
Saoirse shook her head. She didn't hate Lily so much now. After all, Lily had already seen the weird Gryffindors.
"Nagini was rushing to leave at that time."
She said: "I only remember that there was a special room in the castle, and I don't know the rest."
"Then let's discuss this room." Callan said seriously: "First it's Hufflepuff's golden cup, then it's the knocker on the Ravenclaw common room, and finally it's Gryffindor's armor, maybe in There will be something from Slytherin behind this, so the four founders will be enough."
"What do you think this room is used for?"
Several people turned their heads and looked.
Lily suddenly thought: "Choose the principal of Hogwarts?"
This sounds reasonable. After all, the four founders have come together, and the principal of Hogwarts should also get their common approval.
"But the subsequent principals were not chosen this way."
Snape hesitated and said: "Have you ever thought that Slytherin hasn't appeared yet? He has already built a secret chamber. Will there be a second one?"
Karan thought of the ruins of the Forbidden Lake and said with certainty: "Maybe there is a third one."
Snape looked like he was choked. He glared at Karan fiercely: "I mean, what we are seeing now is only the test of the three founders. When we get through Gryffindor, After seeing the armor, could it be the imprisoned Slytherin?!"
Lily shuddered: "That sounds like a horror story."
Kahlan tapped his fingers and retorted: "Don't think so wildly. Potter Manor and the memories of that time all show that Slytherin finally left Hogwarts and there is no way he can come back."
"Then tell me?" Snape said angrily.
"I think..." Karan thought carefully: "The difficulty of the test here is not high, but you must follow the rules, especially the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, which is not easy to find. On the contrary, it increases the number of The difficulty of the challenge. Ravenclaw’s is even simpler, just like entering and exiting the common room. And Gryffindor, he is also very easy to talk to, even if he just stays here without challenging.”
"So...?" Snape stared at Callan, trying to see what he could tell.
"I do not know."
Karan admitted frankly: "Don't waste time, pick up the wooden sword quickly. Are you really planning to let me deal with him alone?"
"faster!"
He stood up and walked over to the shelf.
"It's time to continue the challenge!"
"Challenge this crooked Gryffindor!"
