The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 537 Test

Phew—so does this count as defeating him?

Looking at Gryffindor lying motionless on the ground, Loira gripped her wand tightly, pointing it at him to prevent one of the founders of Hogwarts from rising from the dead again.

Thankfully, I'm not a student at Hogwarts, otherwise I'd be in a bit of a bind—

"You're betraying your master and ancestors!" The Gryffindor who was lying on the ground suddenly rolled over and stood up. Under Loila's surprised gaze, he patted his robes and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Ugh————"

Meeting Loila's expression, Gryffindor raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm a magical creation. You don't think a simple spell can kill me, do you?"

"And weren't you just about to use the Killing Curse? Did you already use it? I saw it!"

"I—I didn't." Loila quickly took a few steps back and gripped her wand tightly.

"And what just happened? Why did your wand fly back? That's cheating!"

"Alright, alright, Godric."

Just as Gryffindor was feeling indignant, Loila suddenly heard a voice behind her. She turned around sharply and saw a gentle old woman with a bright smile.

She was dressed simply and held an equally antique magic wand in her hand.

No way—how come another one has popped up?

Could this person also be one of the founders of Hogwarts?

I only came here to control the magic array or something, so why are they all popping up?! Will there be other people coming later?

"I was just joking, Helga." Gryffindor shrugged after hearing her words. "But this girl is really amazing, already—"

"I'm an adult now."

After hearing Loira's dissatisfied reply, Gryffindor shrugged and walked over to the woman called Helga, muttering, "See—that's what minors like."

"Alright, stop joking around, Godric." The old woman said, looking at Loila and nodding slightly. "Let me introduce myself—I am a memory left behind by Helga Hufflepuff, one of the founders of Hogwarts."

"And he was left behind by Godric Gryffindor." Hufflepuff said, nodding slightly. "I saw your fight just now—Miss Hamilton, you did very well."

"He has passed the test of Gryffindor."

"Hmm?" Loila blinked and asked instinctively, "A test?"

"That's right," Hufflepuff nodded and explained, "It's all part of the test."

"The Room of Requirement was originally built as a teaching space, but it is also the central hub of Hogwarts, the core of all magic circles and magic," Hufflepuff said slowly, her voice as melodious as a breeze and as gentle as sunshine.

"And to protect this place, the four founders—the four founders—set up a test here." Hufflepuff chuckled softly as he spoke: "Only by passing these four tests can you touch the magic circle here—and gain the power to change the Hogwarts magic circle."

Is it necessary to pass the test?

Loila pursed her lips, thinking it shouldn't be that complicated—if she secretly modified the magic circle herself—

"You should give up on trying to directly modify the magic circle." Hufflepuff seemed to have seen through Lori's thoughts and quietly said, "There is a spell here jointly set by the four founders—"

Is that so? — Roy looked at the central magic circle with a hint of disbelief — after all, he didn't want to change the magic circle; he just wanted to control the magic circle of the entire Hogwarts —

I have no interest in changing the contents of that mountain-high magic array—at least not at the moment. After all, it would take at least several decades to optimize and modify so many magic arrays.

Let's talk about it when I become the headmaster of Hogwarts.

No, no, no—I don't want to become the headmaster of Hogwarts!

Seeing Loira remain silent, Hufflepuff continued, "You have passed Gryffindor's test—you only need to pass two more tests."

"Two tests?" Loila pursed her lips in surprise.

Is it really okay for you to kick Slytherin out like this? I've heard you guys don't get along...

"You've already passed my test," Hufflepuff said, blinking. "If you hadn't passed my test—you wouldn't be here."

"Huh?" Loila was taken aback. She had no idea she had used these things.

"That's just how Helga is," Gryffindor said, shrugging beside her. "She's always so accepting of everyone."

"Of course, I believe she wouldn't do that in this matter—shouldn't?"

'

—"

Loila glanced at Gryffindor with a hint of speechlessness, then looked at Hufflepuff.

"Then—then how do I pass the other tests?"

"Of course, you should ask her directly." Gryffindor said, tapping the floor lightly with his sword. "Rowena Ravenclaw—you didn't oversleep, did you?"

As he moved, the central part of the magic array behind the two of them flickered with blue light again, and then a shadow slowly walked out.

It was a somewhat aged figure, but dressed in fine clothes, with a gray beard and hair, a hooked nose, and a pair of sharp eyes.

Ok?

Isn't Ravenclaw a woman?

Why is it a man who came out?

Loila looked at the old man in front of her with a bit of surprise and pursed her lips.

The old man was also looking at Loila, but his eyes showed a clear disdain.

"I told you—Hogwarts shouldn't admit Muggle children—I said it a long time ago." He scoffed. "Look at the students now, they're not even human."

Hey!

Who do you think is human?

No matter what, Veela are still—humans, not magical creatures!

"Salazar Slytherin, what brings you here?" Gryffindor visibly pursed his lips upon seeing him. "Are you going to give me your usual platitudes about those theories again?"

"Enough, Godric! Do you think I wanted to see you?" Slytherin retorted immediately. "It's because of your insane ideas that such a creature exists among the noble wizarding world!"

""

Loila watched the two old people arguing speechlessly, and Hufflepuff, standing between them, wore the same expression.

"Alright, Godric, Salazar." Seeing their argument escalating, Hufflepuff coughed and said, "We need to remember the important thing—"

"Salazar only cares about bloodlines and lineage; his snake-headed self has long since thrown away all the important matters." Gryffindor's words prompted a cold laugh from Slytherin: "And what about you?"

"What can your lion's brain remember? Venison for lunch?"

"How about this?" Hufflepuff looked at Gryffindor, seeing the two about to start arguing again. "Let's leave here first—how about that?"

"Let Salazar talk to her alone."

"I couldn't ask for more." Gryffindor said, flicking his robes, and disappeared as a blue dot of light.

Seeing this, Hufflepuff gave Loila a reassuring smile, and then gently turned into a blue speck of light.

In the end, only Slytherin remained in Royla's presence.

Hey—you guys just left me like that, dumping me on him like that. He doesn't seem like a good person! He wasn't very friendly to me either!

Loila instinctively tightened her grip on her wand.

"You're probably curious about my test, aren't you?" Slytherin just looked at Loila with a cold smile, his tone as sarcastic as Professor Snape's.

"You don't need to be curious about these things."

"Because no matter what, you can't pass my test."

"It's that simple."

This test is based entirely on subjective assumptions! This is a cover-up! A blatant cover-up!
