The Wind and the Wings of Hogwarts

Without Scott having to say a word, they proactively explained the purpose of the Vanishing Cabinet to the others.

Helena said, "Hogwarts does have a vanishing cabinet, but I remember it was broken, and I don't know where the other one is."

“I’ve seen it in the Room of Requirement, in that room where things are hidden.”

Scott revealed the intelligence he knew.

As he spoke, he took out the [Magic Mirror] and opened a "photo".

"This is a photo I took when I had Crow investigate Knockover Alley."

He pointed to a spot in the photo.

“I suspect that the other vanished cabinet is this one in the Borgin Burke store.”

“Oh, Knockturn Alley!” Eddie immediately realized. “It’s because you sensed Malfoy’s magical fluctuations that day!”

Roger asked, "Are you worried that the Death Eaters will infiltrate Hogwarts through the Vanishing Cabinet?"

Scott nodded.

"If someone fixes it, it's possible to sneak in unnoticed."

"Although it was just a sudden association, in order to be absolutely sure, I planned to destroy the vanishing cabinet hidden in the Room of Requirement, but I couldn't find it."

Luna blinked. "Was it secretly hidden away?"

“I tried divination using arithmetic,” Scott said. “The answer was a bit vague, but I can only be sure that the Vanishing Cabinet is still in Hogwarts Castle.”

Milton understood what he meant, “But the castle grounds are so large that it’s hard to pinpoint its exact location.”

"Oh, so you mean, start a treasure hunt."

"Find the location of the Vanishing Cabinet!"

The twins said excitedly.

"We love this event!"

“Let’s go look in the Room of Requirement first,” Scott said. “Maybe I didn’t look carefully enough before; there are so many things there.”

After making the decision, the group went to the House of Requirement and entered the huge house.

Let's split up and search!

"This is a huge project!"

They split up and started searching through the clutter from different directions.

Helena was the fastest to move around because she was so agile. While searching, she also helped others confirm whether the cabinets they found were the missing cabinets.

"Oh, I found another cabinet!"

"That's not it."

Is this it?

"no!"

More than an hour later, the members of the Tower of Babel gathered together again.

Despite everyone's combined efforts, they still found nothing.

There are many cabinets of various styles and colors in the room, but unfortunately none of them are disappearing cabinets.

“It seems someone has indeed hidden the vanishing cabinet.” Helena’s expression became much more serious. “What you’re worried about could indeed happen.”

“We’d better tell the professors about this as soon as possible,” Milton said with some concern.

"Professor Dumbledore definitely needs to be informed."

Scott took out the [Magic Mirror] again.

"More importantly, if we can find the Vanishing Cabinet, we can take the initiative and maybe even find the Death Eaters' current stronghold."

As he spoke, he used the [Magic Mirror] to send a communication.

Soon, the image of a raven appeared in the mirror.

"Oh, it's Rimbaud!" Luna greeted the mirror. "Hello, Blackwing Lord!"

"Oh, hello, Luna!"

"How's it going over there?" Scott asked directly. "Has the vanishing cabinet been bought?"

“Not yet,” Rimbaud replied.

"Keep an eye on it."

"Ok."

"Notify me if there is any movement."

Scott hung up the call.

Fred asked him, "Are you thinking..."

"It's exactly what you think."

“If the vanishing cabinet at Borgin Burke’s shop is bought, and we find another one hidden in Hogwarts, we can raid their stronghold before they can act.”

“Of course you can’t act on this on your own,” Helena emphasized. “Even if you find the vanishing cabinet, you can’t try it; it’s too dangerous!”

Scott nodded. "Of course, raiding Death Eater strongholds is the job of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic."

“Oh, let’s get moving,” Fred urged. “We must find the hidden vanishing cabinet as soon as possible.”

Scott turned to Helena and asked, "Is there a way to quickly check the other rooms in the Room of Requirement? There are so many changes here, nobody knows if we can even try to summon all the rooms."

Helena nodded. "Leave it to me."

"I can rest assured that."

Scott said to the others.

“We’ll search the rest of the castle, and I’ll use the Magic Mirror to tell Dumbledore about it.”

Chapter 521 The Vanishing Cabinet Was Found

After Scott finished speaking, the group dispersed and searched for the hidden vanishing cabinet throughout the castle.

Scott sent a message to Dumbledore, explaining the situation to him.

"Oh……"

Dumbledore thought for a moment.

"The Vanishing Cabinet, I remember Hogwarts does have one."

He then praised Scott for his vigilance.

“This is a security vulnerability, but it’s not appropriate to publicize it. I will inform the professors and house-elves to search for it together.”

After the call ended, Scott went to the basement alone.

After wandering through several dimly lit corridors, we arrived at a dilapidated dungeon near the classical music club.

He walked past a row of dungeons but did not find the target he was looking for.

These abandoned dungeons were empty, except for rusty iron bars and chains hanging from the ceiling.

Finally, he looked at the wall on the other side of the dungeon.

The time he entered Medea's underground chamber, this was the place he ultimately emerged from.

Scott approached the wall, reached out and knocked on the thick stone wall, carefully discerning it with his magical senses, and discovered some clues.

There is indeed a hidden entrance/exit in this wall.

However, without the correct secret order, the only option is to force the door to reveal itself through violent means.

Of course, violence is also out of the question.

Because the magic circulating within the castle is a unified whole, destroying this place will also affect other places.

Scott did not try.

Only Medea, he, and Dumbledore, whom he had sensed, knew about this secret passage.

Medea's secret will obviously not be known to the Death Eaters.

Turning away from the dungeon, Scott encountered a house-elf that suddenly appeared in a corridor.

It first let out a shriek, then quickly bowed to Scott.

"Oh, Mr. Trolop, Lulu sends her greetings."

"Hello, Lulu."

Scott looked at the familiar house-elf.

"Have you received Professor Dumbledore's assignment?"

"Yes, Lulu and her companions are looking for the Vanishing Cabinet."

Lulu answered respectfully.

“That cabinet used to be placed outside Mr. Filch’s office door, but we moved it to the back room.”

"So you guys have handled this before?" Scott said happily. "When it comes to finding things, you guys are more skilled. I hope you can find it soon."

"Oh! Thank you for your compliment!"

Lulu stared wide-eyed, her face full of emotion.

We will definitely find it!

After parting ways with Lulu, Scott left the basement.

Instead of continuing his search inside the castle, he decided to search some areas outside the castle.

For example, places like courtyards, gardens, docks, and owl huts.

Finding a magical item outside the castle grounds was actually easier for Scott, as the absence of the abundant magical interference inside the castle allowed his magical perception to be more effective.

Unfortunately, Scott searched around the castle but found nothing.
