From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 203 The unspeakable murderer finally arrived at his secret room

After casting the spell of flight on himself, Ivy was able to fly freely in this weightless space.

In the absence of gravity, the scene in the auditorium was extremely funny. Some people were hit in the face by the oncoming steak, some people's heads were stuck in other people's robes, and some people were tangled together in an unclear way, and it was completely unclear which button got them stuck.

Professor Sprout was busy reaching for his hat, while Professor Flitwick let his wand spray out a stream of colorful bubbles to propel himself forward, but because he didn't control the direction well, he bumped into Professor Keltburn, who was waving his wooden prosthesis towards the agate hippogriff meteorite.

Silverhorn was waving his hooves and pawing at the air, trying to get back to his partner as soon as possible. However, his partner, Goldenhorn, had just lifted the influence of the invisibility spell, and his facial expressions and movements had nothing to do with the elegance of a unicorn.

At this time, it was tilting its head and sticking out its tongue to reach a large bowl of stewed beans.

Several hippogriffs clinging to the wall no longer dared to move. The most stubborn Speedwing also put on an expression of "tired of love" after bumping into the chandelier for the third time.

Ivy waved his wand, pulling the little wizards down from the air one by one, and fixed them to the ground with magic. He also healed the Malfoy trio whose shoulders were bleeding. He then put all the tables, chairs and tableware flying in the air back in place, and finally dealt with the food that had become an obstacle in the air due to weightlessness.

After finishing everything, Ivy put the horse-shaped magical creature in the hall on the ground.

The hippogriffs who saw their owner gathered around, stretching their necks to ask for petting, and the meteorite that Ivy rode most often chirped excitedly.

Silverhorn is a very reserved and traditional unicorn. At this moment, he is busy cuddling with his partner Goldenhorn, while Goldenhorn is still busy filling his stomach, eating with his head down from a big bowl that belongs to no one.

Contrary to the first impression, the cute and cuddly Silver Horn is a male, while the outgoing Golden Horn, who is curious about everything and often plays with cats and dogs in the Room of Requirement, is a female.

After putting everything in the auditorium back in place, Ivy clapped his hands and ended his ancient magic.

"Excellent! Twenty points for Slytherin!" said Professor Flitwick, who was covered with colorful bubbles, clapping his hands.

"Come on, Ivy!" Professor Keltborn's wooden legs stomped on the ground. "Let's take these beautiful little cuties to the stable in the ranch! Even if they can only stay in there for a short while, I'll be satisfied! Wait, when did this golden unicorn appear?"

Ivy nodded. The ranch was the perfect place for these magical horse-like creatures. It was obviously not a good idea to let them stay in the castle. Besides, everyone was watching here. Even if Ivy wanted to use the animal conversation technique to ask them how they got here, it wouldn't work. The ranch was obviously a suitable place to chat with animals.

But before Ivy gave them any orders, the golden horn raised its head from the bowl with trembling ears, and licked all the sauce on its mouth with its long tongue.

Then Jinjiao let out a long hiss and led a group of magical creatures behind him to charge, and their target was the floor-to-ceiling window behind the long faculty desk.

Amid the exclamations of students and professors, the Golden Horn that was about to hit the stained glass suddenly disappeared, followed by the Silver Horn, Swift Wing and Meteorite following behind it, and finally the group of Night Thestrals who were the first to start enjoying lunch in the auditorium.

"Really... disappeared?" Professor Keltborn felt lost. He had studied magical creatures for his entire life, but he had never seen so many colorful magical creatures like today.

After a short silence, the young wizards' discussions began again. Everyone saw how the unicorn and the hippogriff disappeared. Even though they were studying magic at Hogwarts, the scene that had just happened was a bit beyond the scope of magic in their cognition.

"How did they do that?" Professor Flitwick could not hide his surprise. He was the first to arrive at the floor-to-ceiling window in the auditorium, followed by Ivy.

Since all the magical creatures disappeared at this location, does that mean there is an invisible door standing here?

Professor Flitwick's outstretched fingers touched the stained glass without any hindrance. He stared at his hand in disbelief for a long time, then continued to grope.

"Impossible... Even the most sophisticated Vanishing Charm can't make so many magical creatures disappear at the same time..." Professor Flitwick muttered to himself, "Could it be that they are all illusions? But the wounds on the students' bodies can't deceive anyone..."

There was a faint rustling sound, then it grew louder, like leaves rustling in the wind, waves lapping gently on the beach, and a giant python crawling across the ground.

Three huge snake heads with black spines appeared from the stained glass.

It was the giant runeskin Ivy had raised. In fact, ever since Ivy rescued it from the Fire Ash Snake Party's Colosseum tent, the snake had been either eating or sleeping every day, and had little interest in going out or basking in the sun. Perhaps it was because it had been abused in the Colosseum.

As an animal that can speak snake language naturally, Ivy once carried a shrunken runes to Myrtle's bathroom, hoping that it could use snake language to open the door of the Chamber of Secrets. However, this plan ultimately failed. Ivy was not sure whether the runes could not understand his instructions or the door of the Chamber of Secrets could not understand the language of the three-headed snake.

But now, Ivy has learned Parseltongue from the fragments of Voldemort's soul, so communicating with his younger brothers is definitely no problem.

"There are so many people..." Ivy heard the head in the middle say. It was a female voice with a strange hoarseness.

"Is this today's food? Great! We've had enough of that feed! Maybe we should swallow that old and ugly elf into our stomachs as well!" The head on the right roared evilly.

"The Dark Lord doesn't allow us to eat humans, have you forgotten?" The head on the left stopped its brother with a majestic voice.

"He has disappeared for more than a year! Maybe he has forgotten us a long time ago! We can eat whatever we want!" The head on the right bared its teeth at the head on the left.

Professor Flitwick looked up at the huge creature, having lost the ability to speak. The hall was filled with the sound of gasps.

"Hey! You idiot, move forward! Our tails haven't come out yet!" After threatening the head on the left, the head on the right began to provoke the one in the middle. As the main body of the runespoor, the head in the middle has always been in charge of the action. "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been stuck in that stinking pipe for so long!"

The three heads of the Runespoor peeked out of the stained glass, but their bodies and tails had not yet emerged. Even so, the Runespoor cast a shadow covering a large area. Each head was half the height of a man, and if it opened its mouth, it could even fit several Professors Flitwick lying in it, because the snake can dislocate its lower jaw to swallow prey larger than its mouth.

"Monster in the Chamber of Secrets!" a student screamed. Before the chaos spread, Ivy raised his wand and stopped the sound from spreading in the hall.

"Don't provoke it, let me negotiate!" Ivy stood on the podium and announced loudly to everyone.

"How did you get here!" Ivy asked in snake language.

Several Slytherin students wanted to exclaim, but found that they could not make any sound, so they could only communicate with each other excitedly through eye contact.

"We just want to go outside the cave and bask in the sun. We were stuck in the pipe for too long last time, and we feel itchy... Wait!" The head in the middle of the runes seemed to be still asleep, answering Ivy's question in a dreamy voice. However, it immediately realized that something was wrong and lowered its head to look at Ivy's face carefully, its long tongue almost touching his hair. "Am I dazzled? Why do you look so much like him..."

The other two heads of the runespoor also came close to Ivy's face.

The head on the right spoke first, its tone was firm: "Yes... he is the Dark Lord! Fortunately, he can't understand what we say. If he knew you wanted to eat humans, you would be doomed! Think about how he slaughtered other humans in the Colosseum? I only saw a green light..."

"Shut your stinky mouth!" The left head had already begun to tremble. It lowered its head as much as possible, trying to kiss Ivy's boots, and said in a flattering voice: "Greetings to you! My most respected master..."

The head in the middle seemed to wake up from his dream: "The Dark Lord has spoken... This is really strange!"

The snake head on the right was motionless like a sculpture. It was the first time that Ivy saw an expression of surprise on a snake's face.

"Are you still willing to obey my orders?" Ivy asked. He felt that using Voldemort's soul to create magical objects was the best decision he had ever made. Parseltongue was really useful.

Now all three heads came to their senses and prostrated themselves at Ivy's feet, waiting for orders.

"Very good." Ivy nodded, and at the same time raised his silver lime tree wand and chanted a spell, "Shrink quickly!"

The runespoor serpent, which was as big as a small mountain, shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye became the size of a palm, and landed right on the head of Professor Flitwick, who was lying on the ground.

"I must be still asleep..." Professor Flitwick stood up holding the Runespoor, "Is this the monster in the Chamber of Secrets?"

"I would say no." Ivy took the runespoor from Professor Flitwick and walked quickly through the crowd towards the stairs outside the hall.

Ivy walked across the long table and past the huddled little wizards - the little wizards, silenced by magic, stared at his figure and silently made way for him.

It wasn't until the oak door of the hall closed behind him that Ivy breathed a sigh of relief and lifted his silence magic. He left the noise in the hall behind him and walked underground with the runes.

Ivy was going to interrogate the three-headed creatures. Since there was no way to figure out how the magical creatures came from the Room of Requirement over there, then he would figure out how they went back.

Judging from the previous performance of Gold Horn and Silver Horn, Ivy believed that the magical beasts were most likely moving through some unknown space magic.

However, in Ivy's own private chamber underground, similar spell effects were not allowed.

Because the 4th-level spell Mordenkainen's Private Chamber gives that space quite a few effects.

Teleportation magic and spell-like effects are prohibited from entering or leaving the area; creatures within the area cannot be targeted by divination spells; interplanar travel within the area is prohibited; sound and sight are prohibited from crossing the area's boundaries; and many sensors created by divination spells (such as Ivy's Awakened Grimoire Sense, and magical temporary senses created by the 4th-level spell Arcane Eye) are also blocked.

Therefore, Ivy believed that as long as he took the runespoor snake to his own private chamber, it would not disappear for no reason.

The map chamber was still the same, with twinkling stars on the black crystal floor, reflecting the Hogwarts Castle. There were a lot of miscellaneous items piled around, and it was no longer as empty as when Ivy had just woken up.

Because he moved a lot of things from the Room of Requirement, he also built some workbenches for himself. The most conspicuous one was the Wonderful Items Workbench, where Ivy made Christmas gifts for his friends.

"Ga--" the little dragon Norbeta roared. It had been playing hide-and-seek with Xiaoyan here. The materials and furniture piled everywhere became a perfect hiding place for them.

Now seeing Ivy coming back, the dragon and the cat came over and stared at him flatteringly.

Ivy scratched their chins perfunctorily and sent them off to play by themselves.

Placing the shrunken runesnake on the table, Ivy prepared to put a permanent end to the private chamber of Morduncan, the 4th-ring spell.

Mordenkainen's Private Chamber takes 10 minutes to cast and requires a lot of corresponding materials to be prepared. It is a rather complicated spell. The most important point is that this spell is not a ritual spell, which means that Ivy's use of the Grimoire of Destruction to reduce the casting time of ritual spells cannot be achieved.

Fortunately, when making it permanent, Ivy does not need to repeat the casting action every time. She only needs to complete the synchronization and pay a fourth-ring spell slot, which makes it possible for the pet to cast the spell instead.

For a small sense of ceremony, Ivy stood in the middle of the secret room on the map with his arms open, and mobilized his magic power to activate the starlight under his feet. In the starlight projection of Hogwarts, the spell of Mordenkainen's private chamber was finally made permanent.

Now, the only thing left is the teleportation array that Ivy placed at the door, which has not yet been made permanent. Half a year is not a long time for Ivy, and he can afford to wait.

After completing the privatization of the map chamber, Ivy should consider installing some security measures for it. However, similar magic equipment manufacturing drawings need to be exchanged for experience points separately, and his current savings cannot afford it.
