The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 573 Dreams and Exploration

"Pat-pat-pat"

Loila woke up rubbing her eyes in a daze, but the sight she saw made her slightly startled.

Where is this?

As far as the eye could see, there was a dense forest. Although Loila was lying in her office, she felt as if she had stumbled into some mysterious, dark forest.

Is this... survival in the wilderness?

In a daze, the forest in front of her began to thin out, and finally, as "Loila" walked out of the forest, she saw the silver moonlight and the castle under the moonlight.

Hogwarts —

"Loila" seemed to be standing on a high mountain cliff, looking at the castle that looked extremely silent in the moonlight.

A faint light flickered, but Loila sensed something was amiss.

What's going on here?

Am I dreaming?

Luo Yila had never been fully aware that she was dreaming... but everything before her eyes was just too strange.

How could I possibly have walked into such a strange place by myself—and then looked around Hogwarts?

And this doesn't seem to be over yet.

"It's time to take action."

Loila heard a hazy voice say something that sounded somewhat familiar, yet seemed distorted because of the dream.

"Yes, sir—" As if something was behind him, they moved and disappeared behind him as soon as he spoke.

Immediately afterwards—Loila heard a muffled voice let out a cold laugh.

"Dumbledore—this time your luck won't be so good."

Well?

Dumbledore?

Was this dream caused by my dislike for him?

I never imagined that I would be dreaming about how to kill Dumbledore—I really am a loyal member of the Malays.

The hazy dream vanished just like that, and then Loila felt a sense of weightlessness before she suddenly woke up.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, she took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and sat up.

It was still quite early, the hazy night was still there—all because of that strange dream I just had—

That's why I woke up so early.

But—waking up early has its advantages, right?

Loila coughed and slowly stood up.

Today is Halloween, which is also the day I made a promise with Miss Hilo to set off.

She specifically asked Dumbledore, and after receiving the reply that there really wasn't much activity, she happily prepared to leave.

Even if Dumbledore had mentioned an event, she would have declined—

Roy had already packed everything in advance and put it all into her spatial book.

If we want to stay there for a few days as Miss Hilo said, that would be no problem at all.

After checking that she had brought everything, Loila stretched by the window.

The sun slowly peeked out, and a few rays of sunlight streamed down from the fjord of the Black Lake at Hogwarts, gradually extending to Royla's window.

I really wanted to see the sunrise over Hogwarts—and I must say—it was quite beautiful. —Once I truly have complete control of Hogwarts, I'll flick my wand and open all the windows in every room.

Whether the magic circle can actually do that remains to be seen—but Roy can already do some things with his wand now—

For example—

Loila looked at the statue in the courtyard below the window and gently tapped her wand. The statue then sprayed water with a "pop".

See? Isn't that amazing?

Loila tapped her wand, and all the lights in the courtyard suddenly turned on, then flickered and went out.

Tsk tsk tsk —

Why do I feel like I'm some kind of Hogwarts administrator, responsible for turning off the lights and shutting down all the teaching tools during lights-out time?

However, besides that, Loila was also able to slightly control the Hogwarts armor rack in front of her—something that surprised her a little.

As she worked engraving the magic circle, she unexpectedly discovered that almost everything in Hogwarts was connected to the central magic circle, even the armor racks standing in the corridors.

Loila flicked her wand at the armor stand in front of her, and the armor stand suddenly seemed to come alive, raising its sword and stepping down, stopping in front of Loila amidst a slightly teeth-grinding metallic clang.

Loila flicked her wand to the left, and the armor stand suddenly turned to the left. Then, Loila flicked her wand to the right, and the armor stand immediately turned to the right.

"Um----"

"Draw...draw the sword?" Loila flicked her wand, and this time the armor stand didn't move at all.

It seems that her magic circle engraving is not yet fully completed—which is true, Roy has probably only completed about 30% of the work—so she is already very happy that she can barely control the armor stand in front of her to dance.

Shaking her head, Loila continued walking forward.

It was just sunrise at Hogwarts, and no young wizards were up yet—perfect timing for Royla to test her wand.

Wherever she went, she would wave her wand to see what changes would occur.

However, most of the time, these so-called changes are just turning the lights on and off, or closing the door far away.

However, when Loila walked through a place she had never observed before, she suddenly felt playful.

She looked at the four hourglasses of different colors in front of her, pursed her lips, and then gently tapped her wand.

"Splash splash splash!"

Under Loila's wide-eyed gaze, Ravenclaw's House points immediately surged by perhaps a thousand, and the hourglass was instantly filled to almost half full.

This seems a bit ominous — surely no one — no one saw it, right?

Loila quickly coughed and lowered her voice: "Ravenclaw, deduct—deduct one thousand points."

Only after she spoke did Ravenclaw's score return to normal.

It seems the Academy Cup scoring is also controlled by a magic circle, except it can be done through both the professor's words and a magic wand.

Loila nodded with interest, then walked away.

It should be almost time, right?

I feel like I can't keep playing this game anymore.

Loila and Shiloh agreed to meet in Hogsmeade in the morning, and then take the train together to the beach.

Why not use Apparition?

Despite her confusion, Loila felt it was better not to ask, since Miss Hilo must have her own reasons, right?

And Miss Shiloh seems to be quite tired lately, so perhaps taking the train will help her relax a bit?

Thinking about it this way—was this cave exploration really that dangerous?

Why does this feel more and more like... a tour?

Loila shook her head slightly as she thought about it. Oh well—even traveling would be nice—after all, traveling with friends is something she's never done before.

Looks like my friend can cross out another goal in his/her goal notebook.
