Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War

"That's it." Ethan shrugged, almost knocking Harry off his feet.

Afterwards, Ethan carried Harry to the school hospital and asked Madam Pomfrey to do some basic physical examinations on him. After confirming that Harry was indeed fine, Ethan and Harry strolled out of the school hospital and ran into Ron and Hermione who were late.

"You two run too fast." Hermione said angrily as she walked beside them.

Just now, Ethan ran away carrying Harry without paying attention. If Ron hadn't thought that they might have come to the school hospital, he wouldn't know where to find them.

After all, there was such an accident in the game just now, so it is necessary to remind Harry.

Chapter 150 Translation Translation, what is a surprise?

"I still don't quite believe it, Hermione. Why would Professor Snape do that? There is no reason." After listening to Hermione's explanation, Harry shook his head and said.

"I agree with Harry, Hermione," said Ron. "I don't think Snape did it either."

"If it's not Snape, then who do you think did it?" Hermione put her hands on her hips, looking dissatisfied.

"Didn't I tell you, Quirrell?" Ethan spread his hands and interrupted.

"But Quirrell..." Hermione was about to retort when she saw Snape walking towards them from a distance, and immediately fell silent.

Regardless of whether it was Snape who did this, it was always inappropriate to discuss this matter under his nose.

Snape stopped in front of them, and his robes, which had been blown up by his windy steps, fell back behind him. His eyes swept over the people and stopped at Harry's face.

"Aha, it seems our star player Mr. Potter is quite lucky. He can still jump around after falling from mid-air." Snape looked down at Harry and smiled imperceptibly. "But you still have to be more careful in future competitions. You may not be as lucky as today every time."

After Snape finished speaking, he walked away again, his black robe fluttering behind him like a bat with its wings spread.

Ethan looked at Snape's receding back, rubbing his temple and sighing helplessly.

How come when you say words that are clearly meant to show concern, they sound as threatening as if you were going to kill him within three days?

So men should not be arrogant!

Hermione swallowed, looked at Harry, and said tremblingly: "See, what did I say..."

"Stop talking..." Harry's hand trembled as he wiped his glasses, and his fingertips turned white because he was pinching his glasses too hard. "I want to go to Hagrid's for a couple of cups of tea. Do any of you want to join me?"

"I'll go with you!" Hermione and Ron said in unison.

"Ethan, what about you?" Harry looked up at Ethan, the two big Kazlan eyes behind the lenses blinking cutely.

I'm so scared and panicked. I want you to go with me.

"Ahem, I have something else to do, so I won't go with you." Ethan rejected Harry's invitation with a serious face. "There comes a time when a man has to face everything alone. It's time for you to learn to be independent. I'm optimistic about you."

Don't even think about it, give up. No matter how cute you try, I won't agree. Bye.

After that, Ethan disappeared around the corner of the corridor like the wind without looking back.

"What do you think Ethan is doing again?" Hermione asked thoughtfully.

"Need I say more? No need to guess, he must be going on a date again." Ron pursed his lips, his little face slightly twisted with envy and jealousy.

Ethan, who had already run far away, naturally couldn't hear their arrangements behind him. He had more important things to do now.

"Professor Figo!" Ethan pushed open the wooden door of Professor Figo's office with a bang, catching Professor Figo, who was sitting in a chair sipping tea, off guard. The hand holding the teacup shook violently, and a large amount of tea spilled on the desk... and on his pants.

"You used to know to knock before coming in. What happened today?" Professor Figo sighed helplessly and pulled out his wand to clean up the spilled tea.

"Of course it's to give you a surprise!" Ethan pulled another chair in front of Professor Figo's desk in front of him, sat back on it, put his hands on the back of the chair, and looked proud.

"Then tell me, what is a surprise?"

"Here!" Ethan slapped the two torn pages on the desk. "Is this a surprise?"

"This is..." Professor Figo was overjoyed. He picked up the two fragments and looked at them again and again. "Is it the two missing pages?"

"Uh-huh~" Ethan nodded heavily.

"Where did you find it?"

"This is a long story. Professor, why don't you just stop listening to me? We've already got the stuff, so let's get down to business first." Ethan looked away guiltily.

"Hmm?" Professor Figo sensed something was wrong and frowned. "No, I still want to hear you tell me the details of what happened."

This kid suddenly became so secretive, he must have done something bad that he dared not talk about.

"It's nothing, actually." Ethan blushed and scratched his ears. "After finishing my lessons last night, I slipped out of the castle during curfew and went to the Forbidden Forest..."

"You went to the Forbidden Forest?" Professor Figo's voice changed due to shock.

Sure enough, this guy violated the rules again.

"Professor, please don't interrupt me. Just be quiet and listen to me." Ethan pretended not to see Professor Figo's distorted face and continued, "I saw a few Fire Snakes sneaking in from the depths of the Forbidden Forest. After simply subduing them, I tortured some information out of them. They said there are some good things under the Forbidden Forest, so I followed their instructions and came to the underground space of the Forbidden Forest..."

"The Salamanders are in the Forbidden Forest? Simply subdued? Tortured?" Professor Figo continued to be shocked. "How are those criminals now?"

"Oh, they're all dead... Professor, don't look at me like that. It wasn't me. They had some kind of restriction on them, and they exploded as soon as I asked for information." Ethan hurriedly stopped Professor Figo's wild thoughts, "After I got to the underground cave, guess who I met?"

"Who?"

"Neil Rozier! He joined the Fire Snake Party, and he was the one who organized this operation." Ethan clapped his hands. "Don't you think this is a coincidence? And let me tell you, he also happens to know the inferior ancient magic that we studied before that can control trolls."

"Rosier knows ancient magic?" Professor Figo was numb from the wave after wave of shock.

"Well, then I realized this was a great opportunity to get some information, so I pretended to surrender and took the opportunity to ask him everything I knew. In the end, he even wanted to use that ancient magic to kill me, but I easily killed him." Ethan nodded, showing a sinister smile like a villain, "He died without leaving any trace."

"You..." Professor Figo felt a slight stomachache again and covered his stomach with his hands. "What does what you said have to do with these two pages?"

"It's very relevant. What they investigated in the Forbidden Forest is the location pointed to by these two pages." Ethan pointed to the map on the torn page, "So the place I followed them to is the location indicated by the map."

According to the agreement with Cassandra, he erased all the plots related to Cassandra, and only selectively told Professor Figo part of the truth.

Anyway, he didn't tell a lie, but he left a little too much blank space, enough for Professor Figo to make up another plot.

After all, what bad intentions could little Ethan have?

Chapter 151: All the ashes were scattered to him

"Where is that location?"

Professor Figo asked quickly.

"You may not believe it, but the map points to a room under Hogwarts. Professor, if you want to take a look, I can take you there now." Ethan pointed his index finger in the direction of the ground and said.

"Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way." Professor Figo rubbed his hands expectantly, as if the person who had just been shocked to the point of pupils shaking was not the same person.

"Okay, Professor, please come this way." Ethan jumped up from his chair, took two steps towards the door, then stepped back, slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, Professor, you have to bring the book with you. The book I found under the restricted area."

"No problem, I'll get the book right away." Professor Figo took out the ancient book from the drawer and looked at the two broken pages on the table in confusion, "What should I do with these two pages?"

"Just put it in the book, it won't be in the way." Ethan said indifferently.

"That's easy for you to say..." Professor Figo shook his head and followed Ethan's instructions to turn the ancient book to the place where the page was missing. He carefully put the two remaining pages back in place according to the traces of the tearing.

When the tear on the page and the rough edge of the ancient book overlapped, a bright white light flashed from the connection. When the light faded, the torn page and the ancient book were perfectly combined again, as if they had never been torn apart.

"This is really..." Professor Figo said in amazement, closed the book and put it in his waist, "Let's go."

-

"That's what happened."

Ethan took Professor Figo on a winding path to the sleeping dragon statue in the basement, and told Professor Figo about what happened last night in detail.

Thanks to the fact that today is the weekend, there are basically no students walking around in Hogwarts Castle. If it were a normal scene with a lot of people coming and going, Ethan would definitely not dare to plot so loudly.

"Alas, Rozier... I didn't expect him to end up like this..." Professor Figo sighed imperceptibly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "What you did can be considered as a relief for him."

"Professor, I'm glad you understand. To be honest, I didn't have any other choice at the time." Ethan's face also became solemn. "In that situation, being kind to him would be cruel to myself. I could only be more ruthless."

From the moment Rosier killed Cassandra, he was already dead in his own mind.

"I don't mean to blame you. There was nothing wrong with your choice under that situation. It's just that as you get older, you have to sigh that things in the world are unpredictable." Professor Figo patted Ethan's shoulder and comforted him, "By the way, you got so much information from him, but didn't you ask about the location?"

"I couldn't ask him. He seemed unwilling to tell me." Ethan shrugged and evaded the question.

Hiding the fact that the location was in Red Tomb City from Professor Figo was also a decision Ethan made after careful consideration last night.

If Professor Figo was told about this, he would definitely tell Tony and the Aurors about it. As a matter of course, the Aurors would deploy personnel near the Red Grave City and wait for the right time to wipe out the Fire Snake Party and that adult in one fell swoop.

But what would be the use? Under the protection of the inferior ancient magic, the ordinary magic they used could not do anything to that adult. Even if they went, they would not be able to do anything, and would only increase the number of unnecessary victims.

He was a kind-hearted man who couldn't bear to see others lose their lives in vain. It would be better for him to solve this matter quietly by himself. When the holidays came, he would sneak out of Hogwarts and go to the Red Graveyard when the professors weren't paying attention, and take down the enemy before the matter was exposed to everyone, and then wait for them to clean up his mess... uh, no, clean up, clean up.

At that time, even if the professors want to blame me, or some troublemakers want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, I will be alone and not afraid at all.

Anyway, I have done it myself, what can you do to me (arrogant)?

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

"Well, that's to be expected." Professor Figo frowned. "Now we can only search a little bit within the UK."

"Professor, it's right in front." Ethan's conscience suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so he took two quick steps to the gate at the end of the corridor, knocked lightly on the latch, and pushed open the unlocked gate. "They call that room the Map Chamber, and there is a portrait of Percival Rackham waiting for us to return."

"Professor Rackham, I've wanted to meet him for a long time. How did these pages fall into their hands? Could it be that they used some means to enter Hogwarts Castle..." Professor Figo entered the room behind the fence door and lit his wand.

"I might know something about this." Ethan closed the gate and walked to the center of the room. The stone brick floor rotated and moved to the side, revealing the spiral staircase below. "It was first stolen by Peeves, and then someone else took advantage of it and spread it further and further..."

"It's Peeves again..." Professor Figo felt a slight headache.

Although it sounds outrageous, it makes sense if you think about it carefully.

All I can say is that if you can't find a suspect for something, you can pin it on Peeves. And no one will doubt it, because Peeves is the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Ethan: Come on, Peeves. Here's the pot. Take it.

"We're here, professor. Are you ready to welcome the new world?" Ethan turned around and smiled at Professor Figo, then pushed open the metal door in front of him.

"This is..." Professor Figo paused at the door for a moment before slowly stepping into the map chamber, muttering to himself, "I didn't expect that such a place would be right under our feet."

At this moment, this highly respected Hogwarts professor had completely lost his usual calm demeanor, and was looking at everything in the map chamber with curiosity like a child who had just entered the world.

The pedestal facing the gate seemed to sense the ancient book in Professor Figo's hand. A white vortex surged on the table, and white light continuously overflowed from the center of the vortex, turning into flowing light and merging into the ancient magic symbols on the cover of the ancient book.

"Professor, put the book in your hand on the stone table." Ethan reminded.

"Oh, okay." Professor Figo came to the pedestal and gently placed the ancient book in his hand on the table of the pedestal. "Is that so?"

When the ancient book was placed on the pedestal, the vortex on the table emitted a dazzling white light. The ancient book slowly floated up under the support of the white light, and slowly opened like a book on an enchantment table. Runes of light kept flying out from the pages of the book, and gathered into a constantly deforming ball of light right above the book.

Chapter 152: Light Cannon Cleans the Ground, So Cool (1/10)

The ball of light gradually expanded to the size of a head, and then passed through the book and sank into the surface of the base.

Two streams of light flew out from both sides of the pedestal, flowing down along the two sides of the double-running staircase, drawing a spiral trajectory close to the ground and getting closer and closer. Finally, they collided in the center of the secret room, and then suddenly exploded, turning into a vast light spot.

The ground, which was originally as solid as obsidian, suddenly became clear and transparent, revealing a bunch of vague bulges under the floor. As the light became dimmer, the bulges below also spontaneously lit up with a faint light, becoming clearer and clearer. Finally, the light spots suspended above the floor completely extinguished, and the thing that was originally hidden under the floor also revealed its true face - it was a three-dimensional map, covering the entire Scottish Highlands.

"Is this... a map?" Professor Figo showed an agility that was not expected for someone his age, and quickly walked down the stairs to the ground below. "This is Hogsmeade, and this side is the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake... and Hogwarts Castle."

"Milliam, if only you could see it too..." Professor Figo's throat moved twice and a sad smile appeared on his face.

"professor……"

"I'm sorry, I'm old after all. Old men tend to be sad and depressed." Professor Figo wiped his eyes imperceptibly, turned his head and smiled at Ethan, "Where's Professor Rackham?"

"That's the painting." Ethan pointed to the second painting from the right. An old figure slowly walked into the frame from one side, turned around and looked directly at the two people below.

"Hello, Professor Rackham. As you said, we have already placed the book on the pedestal." Ethan bowed slightly and said, "Then please allow me to introduce you to my mentor, Professor Figo."

"Nice to meet you, Professor Figo." Percival nodded slightly to Professor Figo, then looked at Ethan and said, "As for you, my young friend. Now you should understand why I asked you to bring the book back, right?"

"Well, I roughly understand. No wonder this place is called the Map Chamber." Ethan nodded, "But where will this map under my feet guide me?"

"This is what I wanted to tell you before," Percival said. "Although you have an extraordinary magical talent, this talent is still in its infancy and needs to be developed. As long as you can prove your ability, you will be able to unlock the potential and true power contained in it."

"Real power?" Ethan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then how can I prove myself?"

So this thing's firepower can become even more powerful?

Step forward, I like it!

I can't wait to experience the pleasure of washing the floor with a light cannon.jpg

"Do you remember the memory you saw in the Pensieve in my vault at Gringotts?" Percival asked.

"I think so. You and your friend Charles mentioned the Portkey, and that you left a trial for those who could see traces of ancient magic?"
