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 could only be taken in the third year.
Among the people present, only Penelope was 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 for her...
"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 Professor Cuthbert Binns' History classes..."
"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 met 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."
"If 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 had to be said that James, Sirius and those other guys were 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 on the map.
And there were even sensing lamps.
When someone was 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 was 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 transformation?" 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..."
"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 there!
If that were the case...
What kind of situation would they be in...
No matter how you think about it, this guy was taking advantage!
His scheming could be heard even by the people in Hogsmeade!
"I don't need to squeeze in with you guys! I have already 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?"
