Chereads / The Strongest Dark Lord / Chapter 43 - The Increasingly Mysterious Hogwarts

Chapter 43 - The Increasingly Mysterious Hogwarts

Black ink outlined Hogwarts on the parchment.

The Marauder's map is so comprehensive that it even includes the Forbidden Forest.

You have to admit that the Marauders were indeed geniuses.

"Look, our little chief is stunned."

"George, it's not his fault, Lucas has never seen such a miraculous thing."

"Of course Fred, not everyone is as stable as you and me."

He gave the two of them an elegant deadpan look.

Lucas solemnly put away the Marauder's Map.

"Fred, George, thank you for the present, I like it very much."

The twins smiled happily.

"Just like it, the gift has been delivered, let's go to the great hall quickly, the delicious food will all be gone if we are too late."

The two scrambled to the direction of the great hall and Lucas strolled after them.

...

Probably because of the holiday, today the place is busier than ever.

Even the Slytherins were talking a lot louder than usual.

Lucas came to Ravenclaw's long table as usual, sitting next to Hermione under everyone's ambiguous gazes.

Although she's already used to it, Hermione's cheeks still blushed a bit.

"Lucas, you kidnapped our little princess from Ravenclaw, shouldn't you compensate us with something?"

Cho Chang opened her mouth to tease the two of them.

In exchange she received a gentle thump from Hermione.

However, she did not deny the other party's words.

"Okay, whatever you want to ask, just say it!"

Lucas smiled and said to the students of Ravenclaw.

Since he always goes to their common room lately, his relationship with the young eagles is very good.

Actually, Lucas initially just wanted to complete the exploration achievement.

He didn't expect that there would be so many books in their common room.

But it is also strange to say.

Lucas has explored Hogwarts castle all over the past few months.

Whether it is the teaching area or the library.

Or the infirmary, or even the third-floor corridor guarded by the three-headed dog Fluffy.

Without exception, they all gave him exploration achievement points.

But it's strange.

The four major houses, except for the achievements of basic exploration, such as the small number of achievement points given by places such as the common room.

The overall exploration progress has not been completed.

Slytherin area, Lucas can probably guess why because he still lacks the Chamber of Secrets.

The same problem occurred with Ravenclaw.

Did Rowena Ravenclaw also build a hidden secret room?

So what about the other two Founders? Are they also harboring secrets within the castle?

Lucas became more and more interested in the castle.

It's like decrypting an expedition, the more you discover the more you realize that this castle still hides many unknown secrets.

...

Soon it was evening.

Lucas rubbed his eyes and walked out of the History of Magic classroom.

It's not that he doesn't want to listen carefully, it's just that Cuthbert Binns is too hypnotizing with his droning voice.

Halloween is a very important festival for Hogwarts students.

The road to the great hall was full of chattering and laughter.

The students were walking in groups of three or four, discussing what kind of sumptuous dinner they will have tonight.

Inside the great hall all the candles that used to float in the air were replaced with pumpkin lanterns in order to set the atmosphere of Halloween.

The ceiling, which was originally bright with stars and moon, has become cloudy at this moment, and thunder can be heard from time to time.

The long tables of the four houses have already been filled with rich food and there are countless cakes along with candies.

"Oh! I love Halloween!"

The little wizards rushed towards the long table cheering.

Lucas also came to his place and sat down.

Looking at the little snakes who are smiling and communicating in low voices.

I hope they can smile like this again for a while.

Lucas looked at the teacher's table and he was relieved to find that Quirinus Quirrell was not in his seat.

He was really afraid that his presence would affect the story line.

Now everything seems to be going according to plan.

Praise the powerful plot restoration power.

Just when Lucas was about to look away.

Suddenly, Dumbledore was looking at him.

Noticing that he was aware, Dumbledore raised the goblet in his hand as a sign.

"Lucas, why don't you eat, if you don't hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with the ball later."

Draco, who was eating in a graceful but fast manner, paused for a moment to speak.

Lucas raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party, his eyes full of disgust.

The door of the great hall was suddenly pushed open and Professor Quirell entered in a panic.

"Troll! There is a troll in the dungeons! I thought you ought to know?"

After finishing speaking, Quirrell rolled his eyes and passed out.

The room became very quiet.

After a short silence.

The students started to scream in terror.

Troll!

Ugly, stupid and powerful.

Because of the high resistance to magic, it is very difficult for ordinary adult wizards to defeat them.

The great hall gradually became chaotic.

The students who felt the danger wanted to escape here as soon as possible.

The same goes for the little snakes of Slytherin.

But compared to people from other houses, they are a little calmer.

But even so.

The slightly trembling body still exposed the inner fear of the little snakes.

"Calm down!" Lucas reassured his classmates.

He turned his gaze to the prefect Gemma Farley not far away.

"Prefect, can we let the seniors protect us in the middle?"

"No problem, that is how it should be!"

After Gemma finished speaking, she looked at the other grade chiefs.

Everyone acted quickly.

At this time.

Dumbledore also stood up and presided over the situation.

Under his arrangement.

The students of each house returned to the dormitory under the leadership of the prefects in an orderly manner.

"Lucas!"

Cho Chang anxiously came to Lucas.

"Hermione went to the bathroom just now, and she hasn't come back until now, is she okay?"

Damn it! This damn plot restoration.

Lucas handed the first years command over to Draco and immediately after ran to the women's bathroom.
