She turned to look at Luna.

Luna nodded to show that she understood.

How can conspiracy theories be as interesting as participating in a conspiracy yourself?

Hermione looked at Luna's excited expression and recalled how she was supposed to be, which still made her feel a little weird.

Did she dye Luna black?

As for Lockhart, he had now completely resigned himself to his fate and only hoped that Hermione would keep her promise and save his life and reputation.

After all, compared with this "witch", he was too weak and had no room for resistance at all.

What's more, there was an even scarier guy next to her.

……

Outside the secret room, in the dim corridor.

"Why did you send Lockhart to the Ministry?"

Xiao Fu's figure seemed slightly transparent, and there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

Hermione did not answer directly, but asked:

"What do you think will be the final result of your original body forming a group of Death Eaters and fighting and killing people?"

Xiao Fu was silent.

Hermione continued:

"Grindelwald's way is much smarter than his."

"Improve your own reputation, find a way to run for election, and gain power."

"If there hadn't been a mistake in the execution, how could you have become the Dark Lord?"

Xiao Fu thought for a moment, and he had to admit that what Hermione said made sense.

Although Grindelwald is also a dark wizard, his methods are obviously more "civilized" and more effective.

At least, Grindelwald was close to success, and his original body...

Thinking about the fate of his original body, Xiao Fu began to doubt his decision.

"correct."

Hermione suddenly changed the subject.

"Do you know about ancient magic? Also, what big event happened in Hogwarts a hundred years ago?"

"Ancient magic?"

Xiao Fu was stunned for a moment, then fell into memories.

He frowned, as if trying to search the corners of his memory.

"It seems... I do have an impression of it." He said slowly, "When I was a student, I heard the former principal mention it once."

"However, at that time, I had already been exposed to dark magic such as Horcruxes, so I didn't take it too seriously and felt it was useless."

There was a hint of disdain in Xiao Fu's tone.

In his opinion, ancient magic was outdated and could not be compared with the powerful black magic.

"It's useless?" Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Your original body was killed by ancient magic."

"Besides, I also know this magic."

Xiao Fu looked up suddenly, his eyes full of shock.

"what?!"

He screamed in shock, totally unable to believe his ears.

The magic that rebounded the Killing Curse was actually ancient magic?

How can this be? !

"Tell us all the clues you know."

Hermione's tone left no room for doubt.

Xiao Fu took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner shock.

"let me see……"

He closed his eyes and recalled carefully.

"There is a place under Hogwarts that leads to a secret space..."

"According to the principal at the time, something happened there a hundred years ago, but all the records were erased."

"It's just that I'm obsessed with black magic and have never been there..."

There was a hint of regret in Xiao Fu's tone.

If he had paid more attention to ancient magic, perhaps he would not have ended up like this.

"Go and have a look today."

Hermione made a prompt decision.

The two sneaked quietly under the Hogwarts Astronomy Tower.

This is an underground hall where few people come.

"It's right down here."

Xiao Fu's voice echoed in the empty space.

Hermione looked around but saw no signs of any passage.

The smooth stone walls and the tightly fitted ground make it seem as if there has never been any passage here.

She frowned slightly, walked to the center of the hall, and then seemed to remember something.

Hermione raised her wand and pointed it at the stone tiles beneath her feet.

"Open the Alaho hole!"

There was a flash of blue light at the tip of the wand.

A subtle mechanical sound came from underground, breaking the silence.

Click... click...

The stone bricks under my feet began to move slowly, separating to the sides, revealing a dark hole.

A spiral staircase winds down and disappears into the darkness.

Sure enough, her memory was correct.

"Let's go."

Hermione took the lead and stepped onto the stairs, followed closely by Von.

The two walked down the stairs. After an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end of the stairs.

A big door appeared in front of the two people.

The door is carved with intricate magic runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious power.

Hermione reached out and touched it lightly.

In an instant, a powerful wave of magical power came from the door and sucked her in.

Her vision went dark, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an empty hall.

"here it is……"

Hermione looked around, surprise flashing in her eyes.

She recognized this place.

It is the map chamber in Hogwarts Legacy.

The entire space is huge, with a towering dome.

Under your feet is a huge holographic map.

On the map, spots of light flickered, and Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding Forbidden Forest, Black Lake and other areas were all presented in miniature form.

At the end of the hall, on the four huge walls, there should have been four ancient portraits hanging.

But there was no one in the portrait.

The four guardians who were supposed to be there disappeared.

On a high platform in the center of the hall, a book was quietly placed.

Hermione stepped forward and turned the page.

A long-forgotten smell wafted over.

"This is... the missing piece of Hogwarts' history!"

Hermione's eyes lit up.

She flipped through the pages.

After a long moment, Hermione closed the book, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.

Chapter 105 Ancient Magic

"A hundred years ago, there was indeed a fifth-year transfer student who came to Hogwarts."

"Although his name is not recorded in the book, it is certain that he was the one who defeated the goblin Lanlock and sealed the power of ancient magic."

"Also, judging from the description in the book, this guy should have chosen the path of justice and did not choose the evil ending."

Hermione speculated in her mind.

"found it."

Hermione said to V.

"what?"

Xiao Fu asked.

"Clues to ancient magic."

Hermione pointed to the book in her hand.

"This book records that a hundred years ago, a fifth-year transfer student sealed the power of ancient magic underground in the valley near Hogwarts."

"We need to go there and take a look."

Hermione took the school history, put Voldemort back into the diary, threw it into the magic book, and left Hogwarts.

Hermione turned over, got on the flying broom, rushed into the sky, and sped towards the valley recorded in the school history.

Soon, we arrived at the valley.

Hermione stood at the entrance of the valley, the school history in her hand trembling slightly, emitting a faint light.

She closed her eyes and carefully sensed the ancient magical aura coming from the school's history.

It was an ancient and mysterious magical fluctuation that resonated with a certain direction below the valley.

"That's it."

Hermione opened her eyes and walked in the direction indicated by the school history.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally arrived at a mine.

The entrance to the mine was blocked by a huge rock, the surface of which was covered with moss and vines, making it look very old.

It seems that no one has been here for a long time, Hermione thought.

She walked over to the boulder and looked at it carefully.

The boulder fits perfectly with the surrounding mountains without any gaps, but the fluctuations of ancient magic can be faintly heard from inside.

Hermione drew her wand and pointed it at the boulder.
