Chapter 23: Secret Path and Filch (1/2)

By the way, my panel shouldn't be a cut-down version, right? There is no map function. Albert was still in the mood to tease his panel function, and he was in a good mood after finding the responsive house.

There is no way. In the Internet novels I read before, the system that comes with the pig's feet is usually awesome. After the scanning function is turned on, everything is invisible.

Now, when you think about it, your panel functions are really pitiful.

Actually, Albert is very happy to have a golden finger like a panel.

”I remember that the principal's office is also on the eighth floor, but I don't know where it is on the eighth floor.” Albert murmured.

Of course, he didn't intend to touch the principal's office. If the old man Dumbledore noticed him, life at school would be difficult.

After all, there are portraits everywhere in Hogwarts Castle, and Dumbledore wants to know what a student is doing. It is easy.

Albert turned two more turns and found a downward staircase.

went down the stairs and started wandering around the castle, only to find that he was lost.

Well, maybe this is not called getting lost, but he has never been here in the future.

Albert stopped in front of a wall, and the light of his wand drew across the carvings on the wall. He reached out and tapped on it lightly, it was solid.

However, Albert suspects that there is a secret road here. There is no way. The lion body and eagle head beast carvings on the wall are too suspicious. Usually such places will hide secret doors and secret roads.

”Boy, what are you doing here?” Nick got out of the wall next to him and looked at Albert who was checking the sculpture in surprise.

This sudden sound made Albert startled, and he felt that his heart was about to pop out of his chest.

Albert took a few deep breaths and eased his excessively fast heartbeat. He couldn't help but complain to Nick: ”Don't be like this, you will scare people to death.”

”Sorry, I didn't expect to scare you.” Nick raised his eyebrows and asked again, ”What are you doing here?”

”Walk,” Albert answered honestly.

”Walking, this time?” Nick looked at the corridor suspiciously, it was still early.

”Yeah, take a walk. Sir Nicholas, I don’t know if you have time to introduce Hogwarts to me. It’s like a maze. I accidentally got lost while walking.” Albert smiled and looked at Nick. If the other party is willing to help, he can save a lot of time.

”Oh, I think exploring the castle is a great joy of the new life.” Nick tactfully refused.

”You're right.” Albert didn't mind Nick's rejection of himself. After greeted him with a smile, he continued to study the lion and eagle head sculpture in front of him.

Nick looked at Albert's back and shook his head to remind him, ”If you want to open that door, switch on the paw of the lion and eagle.”

”Thank you.” Albert heard the words and stretched out his hand to the claws of the lion-headed eagle head, tapping lightly, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a narrow secret tunnel inside.

”See you later, Sir Nicholas.” Albert nodded slightly to thank the ghost, raised his wand and walked into the secret tunnel.

The inside of    is very narrow, and only one person can pass through. It is definitely not a good place for people who fear confinement.

Albert can feel that he is going down, and he doesn't know where the secret road leads, but being able to discover its existence is good news for Albert.

As expected, the ghosts and portraits living in the castle knew Hogwarts better.

The    exit was hidden behind a portrait. After the portrait was removed by Albert, the old man in pajamas stared at him unhappily and complained that Albert interrupted him to rest.
