Harry Potter and the Rebirth

Chapter 554 Secret Passage

As time passed, the frown between Dumbledore's brows deepened.

Looking at the little girl who is mature but still a little anxious in this situation.

Dumbledore patted her shoulder and winked mischievously. "Honestly, child, among all the students I have taught for so many years, you are the only one who has become the Minister of Magic. You are really amazing."

Faced with Dumbledore's affirmation, Hermione's cheeks flushed and her anxious mood was calmed down a little.

"What should we do? Mr. Principal——"

Several ideas actually flashed through Hermione's mind, but she still wanted to listen to Dumbledore's advice.

Firstly, this matter must not be expanded. Secondly, with so many people gathered here, an explanation must be given to the society. Finally, when the matter is over, the fact that these dead people have been resurrected cannot be concealed.

However, it cannot be acknowledged openly, otherwise the art of resurrection will cause social order to become unstable, and the negative impact it brings may be no worse than the pink mist.

"There are studies on the nature of this thing, but I'm not too sure. If you'd like, you can go talk to Snape. He should be happy to help you now."

It's not like Hermione hasn't thought about this, but even though she's already in her thirties, she still feels a sense of awe when facing the most difficult teacher in her teenage years.

"Yeah, okay." She agreed.

Seeing this, Dumbledore began to reveal all his inner thoughts.

In fact, it is very simple in the final analysis.

According to Ron's description, they were already unconscious after the mist spread, but as far as he knew, ordinary pink mist did not have this function.

Based on Snape's research results and the advice provided by professional magizoologist Newt Scamander, Dumbledore was certain that as long as the body was not exposed to extremely high concentrations of pink mist for a long period of time, no mutations would occur in the body in a short period of time.

At most, there will be some abnormalities in memory and spirit, but there will be no subsequent changes in the body. Those who have briefly passed through the fog have been in very good health for a long time, and even have a slight increase in magic power.

This is also why Dumbledore dared to organize a team, jump out of the space he and Harry created together, and search and rescue wizards on the earth who had not had time to escape.

Thinking of that ridiculous research, Dumbledore even saw Snape, who once hated his Muggle identity the most, pinched his nose and came to the secret realm created by Grindelwald, and found a very professional biologist, with whom he discussed the spores, cells and even smaller life forms discovered under a microscope.

And in that desolate land, the attack of nuclear bombs made the orbit of magic extremely chaotic, but there, some scientific instruments could actually be used normally.

Using Muggle methods, Newt discovered a shocking secret some time ago, but he just had time to write a letter to tell me, and then the two of them lost contact because of such a sudden incident.

His own phoenix, Fawkes, had appeared several times in the Hogwarts Hall and the headmaster's office to distract students and Harry's vision. After that, he followed his own will and protected Newt Scamander.

I don't know if Harry rescued him too.

Dumbledore had no way of knowing this, as he was almost the last to arrive here.

The person who had replaced him before had already left, and Grindelwald's substitute was also rescued by Harry early on.

"Principal, Principal?"

Dumbledore suddenly fell silent while he was talking. Hermione listened obediently and only listened to half of what he said. After waiting for a while, she still heard nothing from him, so she had to speak again.

"Oh, let's continue."

All in all, generally speaking, people will not infect each other, unless someone with ulterior motives turns other people into beads, and in this way the same mistake will happen again.

The key point is that they are not sure that the fog they saw before they fell into a coma was the original one.

Snape stood alone in the middle of the crowd, and a vacuum zone formed around him.

But he didn't care. Instead, he turned his head and searched in the air. It seemed that something related to him was floating around, but he couldn't notice it.

Draco, who had been cursing at the door for a long time, was kindly reminded by some people that the Hermione he was talking about had unknowingly come behind him and was having a pleasant conversation with Dumbledore.

He wanted to go up and have a good talk with Hermione, but he was a little afraid of Dumbledore.

The Draco of the two worlds merged. God knows that in this world, Malfoy believed for a long time that Dumbledore's death was related to himself.

This also made him somewhat afraid of the old principal.

Do you want to go forward?

Everything that happened in Hogwarts was silently blocked.

Even the portraits that can communicate with the outside world maintain tacit understanding at the same time.

After all, the resurrection of two principals who had been hung on the wall is not something that can be publicized.

The portrait of this world and the ghost in the castle were extremely frightened after listening to their talk.

The things discussed are unheard of.

Ron also came to the hall. He began to check the list in his mind, carefully observing the current situation of those whose bodies had disappeared in this world.

Is my body still stable? Are my emotions and thoughts normal? Will I become that guy's puppet?

By chance he passed by his little sister, then hurriedly walked to another way. Not far away from the crowd, the Weasley twins revisited their old place. The passionate scenes of their youth and Umbridge's desperate struggle once again made them feel excited.

They are adults, so they know their limits and will not sneak out of the castle.

But some of those secret passages were still usable, so they decided to go down and take a look.

"Hurry, Fred, let's go down now while there's no one around, otherwise we'll corrupt the kids."

"hey-hey;-)"

Fred looked around and made sure that there was no one in this remote place. Then he and his twin brother moved the silver knight in front of the wall to the side with great difficulty. Looking at the big hole behind them, they barely crawled in and almost got stuck inside.

The long-lost environment made the two particularly excited.

Glittering light——

The road within five meters was illuminated. The passage was winding, but it was indeed the widest one in the twin brothers' memory. Unexpectedly, it still made people feel caught in a dilemma.

"How about we go back the way we came?" Fred suggested.

"Row."

In the past, this would never have been the style of these two people, but now.

These experiences teach them not to let their hearts become too unbridled, and that restraint is often the best protection for themselves and others.

But at this moment, Fred, who was holding the wand, suddenly extinguished the light at the tip of the wand, then pulled his brother down to squat.

Out of tacit understanding between brothers.

George said nothing.

The two took a few steps back and hid in a corner.

A rustling sound was heard.

There were also some people trying their best to suppress the sound of conversation, but it was still loud in this secret passage.

"Are you sure this is here?"

"I'm sure you'll find it. I used this one when I was a student. It allowed me to get from Hogsmeade to Hogwarts Castle. Unfortunately, the others have been sealed off, leaving only this one."

"Will we be discovered?"

"Probably not. I have a friend who is in the Auror team on a mission. Let me tell you the truth about the death of the old captain."

"Oh, I see. He is the person involved in the bombing of the Muggle police station."

"Yes, that's right. His information is more reliable. There's no one guarding this place. He told me that."

There was a long silence.

The people behind were almost here. George pulled Fred's sleeve, signaling him to step out first and then seal the passage.

This matter is of great importance and no outsiders can be allowed in here.

Fred nodded in tacit agreement, and as they left, they could vaguely hear the conversations of the people behind them.

"We will soon know the secret of resurrection, which is more magical than the Philosopher's Stone. I think it should be the Elder Wand hidden by Harry Potter. The story of the three brothers is definitely true. Otherwise, how could a little brat who is only in his seventeens defeat the experienced Voldemort?"

"How much do you think it can be sold for?"

"I've seen a lot."

"The enemy outnumbers us, so we must be careful and not be careless." The man in front had reached the end of the passage. After repeatedly instructing his friend behind him, he pushed hard.

"We can soon——"

"Ok?"

He tried harder, but found that he could not push it forward at all, as if there was a huge rock pushing against it from the outside.

Could it be that this passage is blocked?

That shouldn't be the case. He could clearly see a circle of light around it, but there was a big rock in the middle, and it even rolled slightly as he pushed hard.

There is someone on the other side.

It's almost obvious, and it's really creepy.

At the end of this group of people, there was a thin figure standing there quietly. He looked at the people in front of him who were in a panic, some of them even wanted to turn around and run away.

As time went by, someone actually did it. According to the news passed by the organization, it seemed that Dumbledore was also resurrected.

No one can be sure that they can take a few more moves in front of this big man who once made the wind and rain call the shots.

It was because money tempted their hearts that they had evil intentions. They insisted on taking risks even though they knew the Ministry of Magic had strictly prohibited it.

But this is actually a disguised form of security.

Because in all information channels, Dumbledore was associated with protecting Muggle wizards. He was also known for his kindness during his lifetime and was a true light of righteousness.

Those who still stayed here thought so. They were sure that they knew that they would not die on the journey. The worst outcome would be being expelled. But if they were lucky enough, they would be able to get a glimpse of a big event that had been brewing in the entire wizarding world a few years ago.

"Hey, you're blocking my way."

There are still quite a few people leaving.

There was a fat man with a kind heart who was walking towards us breathlessly. He had seen many cowards along the way with some confusion. He finally met one who was indeed a famous taciturn person in the whole team.

No matter what I asked, he didn't say a word. It was just that the boss was very caring towards him. We had been together for such a long time, but I had never even seen his face.

The fat man took out a small white sweat towel from his pocket with some effort and wiped the sweat from his neck and face with some difficulty.

"Hey, why are you still standing here? Get out of here."

Even though the man had made enough space for him to pass through, the fat man just didn't like the guy.

Why is he so thin? He is as thin as a bamboo pole, and his hand is almost like a skeleton.

The fat man curled his lips and became angry when he saw that the man still didn't say anything.

Forget it, I won’t bother with him anymore.

Every time the fat man had a dangerous thought in his mind, he would feel a sense of danger like a thorn in his back, which made him timid and afraid.

Go see how they are doing.

It was the man the fat man called Skinny Bamboo Pole who took off the mask that concealed his identity in the darkness.

His hair was completely white and his skin was wrinkled like old tree bark, but his eyes were emerald green, which was out of place with his body and was unusually bright.

Why don't you go in?

Ever since the fat man was blocked here, he has not moved forward. Moreover, it is stuffy and hot here, and the air is not circulating, making it impossible to live here.

He was about to mutter something and curse, but then he heard the person behind him chuckle softly.

It sounds quite nice.

The fat man turned his head and for the first time wanted to break up with him.

But the people in front started to make a commotion, and the entire cave entrance began to brighten.

"Hurry up, we can go now."

"Be quiet, be quiet, don't let them find out."

"Ouch, you stepped on me."

"I'm really impressed. Why are you being so loud? I didn't mean to do that."

This place has become a pot of hot porridge.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Maybe this is the advantage of the body.

The fat man looked at the thin man behind him, who was moving around in the crowded crowd very flexibly. The moment he was about to step into the light, he disappeared.

Is this guy's Disillusionment Charm so good?

The fat man thought to himself and was not in a hurry. He just treated it as a unique adventure. He stayed quietly where he was, waiting for the people in front of him to file out, and finally it was his turn.

"Ouch."

The fat man was stuck at the entrance of the original cave. He didn't expect this place to be so narrow. Not far away there was a silver armor that had been pushed down, with bronze rust on the joints.

However, his teammates had already disappeared, leaving the captain looking at him with disappointment.

"If I wasn't afraid that you would be discovered, why would I wait for you for so long?"

The fat man scratched his head embarrassedly. He actually didn't want to do this, but his sister kicked him out of the house, cut off his food rations, and only provided him with the most basic food to maintain vital signs every day, and didn't even give him money.

He has lost a lot of fat in the past few days.

Facing the little friend with whom he used to live day and night, the fat boy had a sad face, tears in his eyes, and looked at the captain with a look of grievance.
