Chapter 118: Forbidden Area
Chapter 118: Forbidden Area
Whether his father had intentionally guided him back then, Coven had already transmigrated into this world. Thus, no matter how many doubts he had, there was no way for him to get an answer.
He could only continue to bury this 'cautious feeling' in his heart.
Next, the twins continued to persuade Coven to follow them to the forbidden area on the third floor.
Coven recalled the movie scenes and related information that he had seen before. After analyzing it, he could finally confirm that the forbidden area was deliberately arranged by Dumbledore.
It was Dumbledore who let Harry Potter come into contact with Voldemort and then let Harry Potter have a firm opposition to the power of Voldemort in his heart.
Otherwise, there was no need to spend so much effort to set up so many simple checkpoints. If Dumbledore did not go to Nicholas Flamel to borrow the 'Philosopher's Stone', he would not let Voldemort reappear.
As for the protection of the 'Philosopher's Stone', as long as Dumbledore personally brought it with him, wouldn't it be much safer than a messy checkpoint?
With this analysis, Coven felt that going to the forbidden area to take a look was nothing. Although he already knew what was in the forbidden area, memories and personal experiences were two different things.
Just treat it as a travel card.
Thus, Coven agreed to the twin's invitation. After the two excitedly exchanged palms, he followed them and left Room of Requirement.
The twins were no longer the same as before. They held the 'Marauder's Map' in their hands, and it was as if they were strolling around their own backyard garden.
Through the live map of the names on the map, the three easily avoided Filch's route and soon arrived at the forbidden area on the third floor of the 'Stair Tower'.
They opened the old wooden door and entered the third floor. In front of them was a dark corridor.
As the three of them went deeper, some of the stone braziers in the corridor started to burn, allowing them to clearly see the scene inside the corridor.
There were dust and spider webs everywhere, and there was also a huge statue with a hunched back.
There was only a door at the end of the corridor. Obviously, that was the real location of the forbidden area.
The three of them soon arrived before the wooden door. George raised his hand to hold the metal hoop on the wooden door. After using force, he shook his head and said, "The door is locked."
"Isn't that obvious?" Fred took out his wand and said, "I don't think Mr. Headmaster would allow us to welcome us with open doors even if he were to remind us."
After saying that, Fred cast an 'Unlocking Charm' and quickly opened the door lock.
Coven shook his head as he watched from behind. This wooden door was the first defense of the forbidden area. It was too perfunctory.
With Dumbledore's magic, if he were to seriously cast a 'Locking Charm', no one in Hogwarts would be able to open it with 'Unlocking Charm'.
There was no time to complain because Fred had already raised his hand to open the wooden door and walked in directly.
Knowing what was behind the door, Coven hurriedly followed. It would be bad if the twins got angry because of their recklessness.
As soon as he entered the door, Coven saw that the twins seemed to have turned into 'Goddess of Victory'. They held their wands in one hand, maintaining their stiff bodies.
Three low roars rang out. After Coven entered the room, a huge figure gradually began to rise.
Finally, a three-meter-tall 'three-headed dog' with three huge heads appeared in front of them.
Huge and sticky saliva flowed down from the mouths of the three heads. The three-headed dog opened its nose and smelled the scent of Coven and the others. Gradually, the three-headed dog's expression began to become ferocious.
"What, what should we do about Coven?" George lowered his voice very low and asked in a trembling voice.
Fred was also cautious. His voice revealed fear as he asked, "Coven, can you handle this thing?"
"I'll try."
Coven knew how to deal with the three-headed dog before him, but he could not take it out directly, so he naturally had to pretend.
He was not worried that the three-headed dog would launch an attack. After all, it was a test arranged by Dumbledore, and it was impossible to really cause students to die in Hogwarts.
Therefore, Coven calmly raised his wand and gently waved it. A slightly pink magic radiance quickly shrouded the three-headed dog.
The moment the magic light appeared, the Cerberus could not help but be on guard. Its body shrank slightly, but the speed of the magic light was too fast, instantly enveloping the huge body of the Cerberus.
In the next moment, the ferocious look on the Cerberus suddenly dissipated, as if its pet had been tickled by its master. The three huge heads all revealed expressions of comfort and enjoyment.
"Woof! Woof..."
The three heads let out excited barks one after another. Their voices sounded like a music score.
Seeing this, Coven secretly smiled, saving him a lot of effort.
Therefore, Coven put on an act and said, "It seems that my 'Cheering Charm' is very effective. Listen, do they seem to be singing?"
George did not know whether to laugh or cry as he whispered, "At this time, you are still concerned about whether it is singing or not."
"You have to learn to find the main point." Coven laughed softly. "The current behavior of this three-headed dog is obviously very fond of music. So, we can try..."
While speaking, Coven raised his wand again and waved it gently like a conductor.
The music of Hogwarts school song sounded out of thin air. After the three-headed dog heard the music, its three heads were stunned and then showed a look of enjoyment.
The huge body sat down again and then lay down. Three huge heads were placed on the front paws and the ground one after another, twisting to find a comfortable position. Soon, the three heads closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing this, George and Fred looked at each other in disbelief and then turned back at the same time to look at Coven who was still commanding the music with his wand.
"That's it?" Fred was stunned. "Are you sure you'll be fine like this?"
"Of course." Coven did not stop playing the music. Then, he pointed to the ground in front of him with his empty hand. "Look below it."
"Door?" George carefully stretched out his wand and used the 'Fluorescent Charm' to see what Coven was pointing at.
"So!" Fred was a little excited. "Is the final secret under the door?"
"So what are you waiting for?" Coven continued to play the music and urged, "I don't need to remind you of the Floating Curse, right?"
When the twins heard this, they immediately cast the Floating Curse on the Cerberus at the same time.
They controlled the huge body of the other party to slowly float up, then carefully moved it to the side before gently putting it down.
