Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 492 Reasons to Move Forward
The shadows in the corridor suddenly began to move, and two dark shadows rose up. Furong and Erica walked out of the shadows.

"It's a very convenient magic." Fleur said.

Erica said: "Vampires can use it. It's the skill they used to eat."

Furong said, "I finally understand how vampires get into other people's homes in stories."

As she spoke, she reached out and pressed the necklace pendant around her neck, and her face suddenly changed.

Erica asked nervously, "What happened? Did Charles lose us?"

Furong frowned and replied, "My sister is here. She's in the direction of the Dancing Grass Restaurant. There was no response ten minutes ago."

She could only determine Charles' absolute location. The roads in the castle were complicated and it was difficult for her to find this place.

Erica said with some envy: "Your family wanted to give you a surprise."

Her family had long passed away, and she had to stay in the cold Durmstrang during Christmas in previous years. She envied those who had families.

Fleur didn't say anything at this point, but she made some decisions in her mind, and pointed ahead and said, "Charles is on the right, going underground. Let's see if there's a door or something like that on the right."

Erica said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go scout first."

Vampires can walk in shadows, but they will be very slow when taking non-vampires with them.

A moment later, Erica returned to the shadows where Fleur was hiding.

She whispered, "There's an entrance to the right ahead. There's a person lying on the ground inside. Next to him is a strangely dressed...working elf who was knocked unconscious. He looks like an employee of Charles' company."

After discussing it, the two decided that the person outside was definitely not from Hogwarts, so they decided to deal with the fainted person first.

"Charles taught me a way to tidy up my house."

Erica waved her wand, and the Death Eater who was stunned by the pain on the ground "pia", and the part below the neck turned into a two-dimensional object and stuck to the wall, with only the head exposed, just like some people displaying their prey in their homes.

She said a little embarrassedly: "It seems that I am not very skilled."

Furong tried to revive the unconscious working elf on the ground, but she was under a powerful spell and could not wake up for a while.

"Dobby!" Furong could also ask Dobby for help.

Dobby appeared immediately, and when he saw the working elf on the ground, he exclaimed loudly: "Marilyn! Why are you here!"

He had been wondering why Dumbledore had not been notified. Now he understood. Marilyn had come in from the back door of the castle and was knocked unconscious by a Death Eater guarding the cave entrance when she passed by here.

The reason for this is that the house-elves in Hogwarts Castle are dissatisfied with the working elves and forbid them to use magic, including Apparition, in the castle.

Dobby doesn't take the local gangs seriously, but Marilyn Monroe Elf is from America and doesn't dare to disobey.

As a result, something happened today.

Dobby took Marilyn and the Death Eater taken down from the wall to Dumbledore, ready to have a good talk about this matter.

The castle was very quiet. Harry and his two companions had just lost Myrtle when they heard a scream.

"It's Dobby!" Harry recognized the voice. "Let's go over there!"

The three of them immediately ran towards the direction where the sound came from, but when they arrived at the cave entrance, there was no one there.

"The prototype is revealed!"

Hermione cast a spell and saw many footprints on the ground.

"The prototype immediately shows Smith's footprints!"

Two lines of footprints appeared on the ground.

"Mr. Smith is here too?!" This discovery surprised them.

By this time Fleur and Erica had arrived at the atrium and saw Death Eaters lying on the ground, all stuck to the wall.

A big hole appeared where the wand was placed just now. Furong pondered for a long time. Erica came over and said to her, "I will go by myself from now on. You go back and tell the principal what happened here."

But Erica said, "No, I'll go too."

Furong said seriously: "All those who fell here are powerful dark wizards. It will become more dangerous as we go further back."

Erica bit her lip and whispered something in Fleur's ear.

Furong's brain went offline quickly. Two minutes later, she asked with wide eyes, "Did he agree?"

Erica said: "We didn't tell him, he didn't know yet, and we didn't want him to know. You are the third person to know."

Furong asked uncertainly, "Will he agree?"

Erica said indifferently: "As long as you don't stop him, it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. We can find a chance."

“So, I have a reason to keep moving forward.”

Furong looked directly into Erica's bloodshot eyes and saw that her expression was firm. She took a deep breath and finally said, "It's your business if you want to have a baby with him. I'm not his wife and I can't control you."

"I will erase this memory later and won't tell him. I won't know about this either."

Erica said, "Thank you. Marlene and I just want to have a more complete family."

"Marlene has been under a lot of pressure from her family in the past two years. If she had a child, her family would not care about her anymore."

Furong frowned, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Finally, I took a deep breath and calmed myself down, because the next thing to do was important.

They didn't notice that in the corner next to them, Myrtle and Peeves were listening to this shocking gossip in amazement.

When they went to the basement, Peeves spotted Myrtle and flew over to her, saying angrily, "Why are you here? Get out of here!"

Myrtle also lost her temper and said angrily, "Why can't I come here? Professor Dumbledore allowed me to go to every place in Hogwarts Castle, including the prefect's bathroom, even if there are people inside!"

Peeves said sternly: "You have only been a ghost for a few years. The head professor does not have the final say in Hogwarts Castle!"

"There are wizards in the world who are scarier than the head professor. If a basilisk kills you, you can still become a ghost. But the people he kills have never had ghosts. Their souls have disappeared!"

Myrtle was very unhappy and said, "Why are you making fun of my death? Do you think dying is fun?"

Peeves said: "Someone predicted five hundred years ago that you would be killed by the basilisk, and asked me to save you!"

"But you just wouldn't listen, and you insisted on going to the bathroom that day, and you died!"

Myrtle was speechless for a moment, her face gradually darkened, and she said angrily, "You didn't have to go to the bathroom, but you didn't know I had to go!"

Now it was Peeves' turn to be speechless, because Myrtle was right, but he still said: "You don't have to go to the bathroom. There were no bathrooms in the castle before, and everyone would find a place where no one was around and then clean it up with a spell. Can't you do the same?!"

The color of Myrtle's entire figure became darker and darker, and she kept trembling. Finally, she cried "Wow" and flew away through the ceiling.

Peeves pretended to be relieved, looked at the passage on the ground, thought for a while, and flew in.

At the entrance to the courtyard, Harry and his group looked at each other.

Ron asked Hermione, "Was Hogwarts like that in the past? Is it mentioned in Hogwarts: A History?"
