The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Looking at the quill floating in the air, Filch couldn't help but ask:

"What's this?"

"Automatic Quill."

Ash smiled and said, "It can automatically record everything you say, so you don't need to write it by hand."

"But why did you do this?" Filch asked with an expression of disbelief.

Ash explained:

"Well, I just think Mr. Filch should have some use for this pen. I'm sorry if I did more than necessary."

"No, I probably do need it." Filch took a deep breath and limped toward the table.

Ash explained thoughtfully:

"You have to dip it in an inkwell first, spread out a piece of clean parchment on the table, and place it directly on top of the parchment, and then it will start working."

Filch followed what he said, carefully grabbed the quill and dipped it in some black ink, then spread out a piece of parchment and placed the quill upright on it.

He hesitated for a moment before tentatively speaking:

"Mrs. Norris."

The quill pen immediately started writing with great speed, and the tip of the pen slid across the parchment paper dexterously, leaving handwriting as regular as a printer:

Mrs Norris.

Ash asked:

"Mr. Filch, are you satisfied?"

Filch's originally pale face regained some rosiness, and he looked a little excited. He tried his best to keep his tone calm:

"It's not bad, I should be able to use it."

The quill faithfully recorded this sentence.

Ash glanced at Filch's expression and explained:

"You can grab it when you don't need to use it, or put the parchment away."

Upon hearing this, Filch immediately grabbed the quill, put the parchment into the drawer, and pretended to be nonchalant and said:

"If there is nothing else, Mr. Black, you may leave."

"OK."

Ash smiled and nodded, turning to leave Filch's office.

He went upstairs along the marble stairs, but did not go to the eighth floor. Instead, he left the stairs on the third floor and entered the dim corridor. He stopped in front of a hunchbacked one-eyed witch and waved his wand gently:

"Dissendium."

——

In the Slytherin common room, Harry regretted:

"Cassandra, we shouldn't have left him!"

Cassandra said angrily:

"But what can I do? Or can you convince Filch?"

Harley whispered:

"But, at least we can be detained together with him..."

Kassandra's voice sounded like she was suppressing anger as she pressed:

"What's the point? Ash saved us, and he was willing to be detained by Filch so that we could return to the common room. If we were detained with him, wouldn't Ash's efforts be in vain? "

Harley hurriedly explained:

"I'm sorry, Cassandra, I-I'm not blaming you... I'm just... feeling a little uncomfortable."

She lowered her head and pursed her lips.

Cassandra said discouraged:

"I know, because I do too."

They all knew that Ash would be captured by Filch and imprisoned, but they could only watch helplessly, and they could do nothing...

Cassandra held her wand tightly. If she had enough strength, if she would pass out and forget everything, maybe they could defeat Filch and Ash would not be captured.

And if she was stronger and could defeat the three-headed dog that almost killed them, Filch wouldn't even notice them!

"If I could become stronger..."

Cassandra was filled with reluctance, but a seed of becoming stronger was also planted in her heart! ,

Harley suddenly whispered:

"That three-headed dog may be related to Hagrid."

"Hagrid?"

Cassandra immediately cast her gaze, and Harley explained:

"Hagrid mentioned the three-headed Luwei before, so this may be what he was referring to."

Cassandra frowned and said angrily:

"How dare they put such a monster in the school?"

Harry's tone was a little uncertain and hesitantly said:

"What does it seem to be guarding? I seem to see a trap door at its feet."

Cassandra said without hesitation:

"No matter what, we have to go find Hagrid tomorrow to find out!"

Harley lowered her head silently. She also wanted to ask Hagrid for the reason, but she was not as confident as Cassandra.

Because Dumbledore had actually reminded everyone not to enter the right corridor on the fourth floor if they didn't want to die. It was a restricted area. They even thoughtfully locked the door because they broke in to avoid Filch.

In other words, this is actually their own responsibility, and it is because they trespass into the restricted area that it becomes like this. If Ash hadn't appeared in time and rescued them from the three-headed dog, they would have died miserably as Dumbledore said!

and……

Harry suddenly remembered something - on the day Hagrid took her to Gringotts, Hagrid took a dirty small package from vault 713 under Dumbledore's entrustment.

What did Hagrid say at that time?

If you want to store something, Gringotts is the safest place in the world - except Hogwarts.

So, the three-headed dog Louie is guarding that dirty little package?

What exactly is hidden there? ——

Hogsmeade.

Ash walked on the path to the Forbidden Forest, his mind constantly reviewing what had just happened.

"Meeting Harley and Cassandra on the eighth floor was a coincidence. The reason why they appeared there was because Cassandra had to go to the bathroom."

"And I go out every night, and I run into them because they have just come out of the Room of Requirement and are preparing to leave Hogwarts through the secret passage."

"Because they walked too fast, I couldn't catch up immediately. In order not to be discovered by Filch, and because I couldn't be sure that the two people were Harley and Cassandra, I didn't call their names. "

"When the stairs changed, we confirmed that it was Harley and Cassandra. But for the same reason, their names were not called, so we had to take a detour and take the stairs on the side of the Charms classroom to find them."

"But my shadow was mistaken for Filch by Harley and Cassandra. They ran to the right corridor on the fourth floor in a panic and almost killed Lu Wei. Because I was tracking Harley and the others all the way, so Only then can we save them in time.”

"Although there are a lot of coincidences, no matter how you look at it, it all makes perfect sense."

"So, of course, this will not arouse Dumbledore's suspicion."

Ash put away his thoughts and looked forward, where Bai Zi was already waiting for him.

Although I felt a little sorry for Harley and Cassandra, if he wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone in a reasonable and coincidental way, he could only rely on this method.

He couldn't take the initiative to contact the magic stone, so he could only rely on coincidence to create opportunities.

For Harley and Cassandra, whose lounge is in the basement, astronomy class is their only chance to break into the restricted area on the fourth floor.
