Chapter 118 Aberforth: This Brat Looks Familiar, Hiss...Something Is Wrong! I'll Take Another L
Blake calmly collected the note in his hand.
"Why did Professor Babbling want to see you?" Penelope asked curiously.
"Maybe she needs my help in some way," Blake replied honestly.
"By the way, Penelope, have you taken Professor Babbling's Ancient Runes course?" Blake asked.
The Ancient Runes course can only be taken in the third year.
Among the people present, only Penelope is currently in the fourth year.
"Of course! Ancient Runes, just like History of Magic, is boring but easy to score well in as long as you memorize everything," Penelope said.
Penelope thought that subjects where you could score well just by memorizing were the best.
Subjects like Potions and Transfiguration, on the other hand, were really difficult...
"Do you know Professor Babbling then?" Blake asked.
Penelope played with her curly hair. "She's very beautiful and young. I heard she graduated from our Ravenclaw!"
Upon hearing that Professor Babbling was a young and beautiful witch, some people's hearts tightened...
"But her course is similar to Cuthbert Binns'..."
"She makes us memorize ancient runic symbols for exams."
"We don't really like her course, not many people would choose it if it wasn't easy to score well in exams," Penelope said.
Blake stroked his chin.
The situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had imagined.
He deliberately dropped his pride and joy, the ancient runic artifact... the magical scroll.
In front of her.
If she only saw Ancient Runes as a conservative way of translating ancient texts, then his scroll wouldn't catch her attention.
But now, she sent him a letter, wanting him.
That means she's not a conservative person!
Then why did Penelope say...
When she's teaching, she still uses the conservative international method?
Blake didn't think about it anymore.
Because as long as he meets her, won't it be clear?
"I'll go find her tonight."
"Then let's continue looking for a place now."
Fourth floor.
Blake stood in front of a mirror on the fourth floor revolving staircase.
And on the other side of the mirror.
Was the forbidden fourth-floor corridor!
Blake suddenly felt that this was a bit too coincidental.
The location they chose.
Was actually so close to the hiding place of the Philosopher's Stone...
Blake didn't look much.
Instead, he turned his head to look at the mirror.
"The map shows that there is a passage behind this mirror."
"This secret passage can lead to Hogsmeade."
"But the space inside the passage is very large, we can establish a secret hideout!"
Penelope seemed very excited.
Cassandra said, "But how do we get in?"
Blake looked at the map in his hand.
Then he smiled.
It has to be said that James and Sirius and those guys are really geniuses.
This hidden passage.
They actually discovered it just by wandering around.
And they even wrote down the methods to enter these passages on the map.
Blake took out his wand and lightly tapped the mirror in a specific rhythm.
Then the mirror slowly moved aside!
Blake and the others walked straight in.
As the five of them entered.
The mirror slowly closed.
After the mirror door closed.
The passage suddenly lit up!
This passage was indeed as large as described in the map.
And there were even sensing lamps.
When someone is inside.
Those lamps would automatically light up!
"This place is amazing!" Penelope said excitedly.
This passage looks like an enlarged version of a corridor.
Given its secrecy.
It is indeed an excellent place for secret gatherings.
"Just a little decoration, and it will be a perfect secret base!"
"But... it's dark over there, it feels a bit unsafe..." Hermione pointed to the end of the passage.
They entered through the entrance of the secret passage.
It was the widest.
But as they walked further along the secret passage, it became narrower.
At the end of the secret passage, it was pitch black because there was no light.
This made the girls feel a bit unsafe.
"This is simple enough." Blake came to the middle of the secret passage.
Then he tapped on a piece of the ground with his wand.
And then one brick turned into two, two turned into more...
In an instant.
A new wall appeared in the secret passage.
However, Blake left a door on the new wall.
He didn't completely seal off the secret passage.
"Wow! How did you do that?! Is it transfiguration?" Penelope exclaimed in astonishment.
"No, it's just a simple duplication spell..." Blake said.
"Well..." Hannah said shyly.
"Can you use that spell to create a cooking area for me?"
Blake: ...
While the girls were busy setting up their secret base.
Blake opened the door.
And looked towards the end of the secret passage.
According to the description on the map.
The end of the secret passage seemed to be Hogsmeade.
Speaking of which...
He had been at Hogwarts for so long.
And he still hadn't been to Hogsmeade!
Although, according to the rules.
They needed to wait until their third year.
With their parents' signed permission.
Before they could go to Hogsmeade to play...
But... for Blake...
What were rules?
"By the way, do you guys want to go to Hogsmeade?" Blake smiled and asked.
Penelope's eyes lit up.
"Yes! Hogsmeade is a lot of fun!"
"Well... that's not a good idea..." Hannah said hesitantly.
"If the professors catch us in Hogsmeade..."
?_i,=V%
"Cough cough... actually, I have an invisibility cloak, although it's not very big, it can still cover a few of us." Blake said with a smirk.
The girls all rolled their eyes at the same time.
How big could an invisibility cloak be?
There were five people here!
If that were the case...
What kind of situation would they be in...
No matter how you think about it, this guy is taking advantage!
His scheming can be heard even by the people in Hogsmeade!
"I don't need to squeeze! I could have gone to Hogsmeade a long time ago!" Penelope said with a smile.
"Then I only need to bring three people!" Blake opened his school robe.
"Come, come into my arms."
"Huh?"
"Cough cough, don't misunderstand, my school robe is actually an invisibility cloak."
"You all have to come into my arms to be invisible...
Cassandra and Hannah expressed disbelief.
And looked at Blake with wary eyes.
This guy clearly has ulterior motives!
Hermione suddenly showed a sly smile.
And then she slipped into Blake's open school robe...
Because she had personally witnessed this school robe's invisibility!
Blake touched Hermione's furry little head.
And the school robe, which looked like a regular robe, immediately activated its invisibility function.
Swish!
Blake and Hermione's figures immediately disappeared from the spot!
Cassandra and Hannah looked at the spot where Blake disappeared in shock.
This guy...
This guy actually spoke the truth!
MB...
No good! That guy got ahead of me!
Cassandra stomped her foot in frustration.
Although she didn't want to let that scoundrel Blake succeed easily.
...
That guy has already gone in!
"Now, are you coming? You can still get on the car..." Blake's head suddenly appeared in the air, smiling.
"Hmph... I just wanted to go see Hogsmeade, it's not like..."
"What? You're not going to Hogsmeade for fun? Then what do you want to do?" Blake said in a surprised tone.
Cassandra didn't answer.
And blushing, she climbed into Blake's floating cloak.
Blake hadn't had a chance to feel proud yet.
He felt his foot being stepped on hard...
"Hannah... why don't you come too?"
Hannah hesitated, "It's... it's too crowded there, I... I'd better not go..."
"Crowded? That's not true!" Blake's voice just fell.
The cloak, which had seemed small, immediately became bigger...
The size is just right, that's the function of the floating cloak!
"My cloak, just like my heart, can accommodate many people!" Blake said proudly.
Then he felt his two feet being stepped on again...
In the end, he was bewitched by the temptation.
Blake looked at Penelope,
"Um... are you coming? The place is spacious!"
"I don't need to hide!"
Even though Penelope was carefree, she knew this guy wanted to take advantage.
"Cough cough, really? But today is not the weekend."
"If it's not the weekend, and we sneak off to Hogsmeade..."
Penelope bit her lip, "Damn it!"
"Hehehe! Come... come into my arms..."
"After all, you don't want to be left alone here to set up the base, right?"
The exit of the secret passage happened to be under a big tree at the entrance of Hogsmeade.
After a few people came out.
Because of the magnification function of the floating cloak.
They didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Blake stood in the center.
Various fragrances kept wafting into his nose.
Making him want to sneeze.
But... it felt great.
The group watched at the entrance of the village for a while.
Then Penelope suggested that Blake go to Hogsmeade village to scout first.
If there were no professors inside now.
Then they wouldn't need to go in under the invisibility cloak.
Hogwarts students often sneak out to play.
In principle, as long as they are not caught by the professors on the spot.
No one would care about these sneaky little wizards.
For the owners of Hogsmeade village.
They would love it if every day was a weekend.
That way, business would be good...
Before Blake could react.
Everyone unanimously raised their hands and passed the vote.
"Ah..."
Blake could only reluctantly cover himself with the floating cloak and walk towards the village.
The others hid at the entrance of the secret passage, waiting for his news.
Although Hogsmeade is called a village.
But in fact, it's more like a small town.
There are various shops.
And many wizards choose to settle here.
So, even if it's not the weekend and there are no Hogwarts students wandering around.
There are still many pedestrians on the road.
This is also expected, otherwise, relying only on those two days of the weekend.
How could so many shops survive?
After quickly surveying the area.
Blake found that there were no professors here.
After all, it's not the weekend.
And the professors are also very busy.
Therefore, Blake found a corner and deactivated his invisibility.
He thought about Cassandra and the others waiting for news from him.
Therefore, Blake walked quickly towards the outskirts of the village.
With the invisibility effect deactivated, he didn't have to worry about bumping into people or being bumped into by others.
He walked much faster than before.
"Tsk, it's a pity. How did Penelope react so quickly?"
Blake muttered regretfully.
If it weren't for Penelope's suggestion to vote,
He would still be squeezed inside the floating cloak with the girls...
But now...
He could only scout Hogsmeade on his own.
And after reporting back, they would definitely not fall into any traps.
Blake was still regretful.
Suddenly, he felt someone grab his shoulder.
Then he was pulled into an alley by someone!
"Hmm? Is someone robbing me?"
"And robbing me on top of that?"
Blake reached for his wand.
But when he saw the person clearly,
He was startled!
This beard! These blue eyes!
He thought he was being arrested by Dumbledore on the spot!
But when he looked carefully, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this person should also be called Dumbledore...
But he was not Albus Dumbledore.
He was Aberforth Dumbledore, the younger brother of Professor Dumbledore.
Aberforth pinned Blake down and started hitting him.
"Hiss... This brat looks familiar..."
"It feels like something is off? (By the king) Let me take another look..."
"Oh, right! He looks like that old bastard in the castle and that old bastard in Austria."
"But... it shouldn't be..."
Aberforth was puzzled. How could a brat resemble those two old guys at the same time?
Although Aberforth was strong, Blake was stronger.
He smiled shyly at Aberforth.
And the next second,
He broke free from Aberforth's grip.
With a swoosh, he darted out of the circle.
If not now, then when?
Aberforth couldn't forgive Dumbledore.
He hated Grindelwald even more.
If he knew about his relationship with these two...
He would definitely not have any good juice to drink!
"Brat! Stop right there!"
Aberforth saw that Blake had slipped away while he wasn't paying attention.
Angry, he chased after him.
But Blake was so fast.
"Whoosh!" He disappeared in an instant.
Aberforth couldn't keep up from behind.
"You little punk! Just you wait!"
Aberforth stopped, panting heavily.
He thought carefully.
The Blake from earlier seemed to be wearing Hogwarts robes.
So...
Although Aberforth was reluctant to find Dumbledore,
But in order to figure out this absurd situation,
He decided to ask his own damn brother!
Aberforth took out his wand and pointed towards the direction of the castle.
The next second, a white goat appeared.
And it ran straight towards Hogwarts Castle...
Blake ran back to the entrance of the secret passage in a flash.
"How was it? Are there any professors inside?" Penelope asked anxiously.
"Well... let's not talk about it. You should all go back quickly. Pretend you've never been here..."
"I... my cover is blown!"
PS: Sorry, I have a fever...
