It turned out that they hadn't broken into an ordinary house, but had instead come to the fourth-floor corridor that was off-limits to visitors.
Now he knows why this place is off-limits.
The other three weren't in much better shape either.
Only Levin seemed genuinely interested, appearing to truly appreciate the rare birds in the exhibition hall.
But it was no ordinary rare bird; it was a monstrous dog, so big that it filled the space from the ceiling to the floor.
It had three heads, three pairs of fierce eyes that darted around, three noses that twitched and trembled toward them, and three drooling mouths that dripped saliva like sticky ropes, emitting suspicious yellow smoke, hanging from its yellowed dog teeth, making a hissing sound each time it hit the ground.
Levin knew this was Hagrid's three-headed dog, Ruggieri, but the large creature before him was clearly different from the one in the original story.
Levin could smell a strong sulfur odor emanating from it, a hallmark of creatures from the underworld.
In addition, the three-headed dog was surrounded by a strong fire elemental aura.
Levin was certain that the Lou Williams before him was not the ordinary Cerberus from the original comics.
Rather, it is a true creature of hell: "Cerberus".
However, in the original Harry Potter world, there is only an afterlife, not a hell.
This unusual occurrence reminded Levin of Senior Sister Ciri and the Water Demon Brain from before.
Sure enough, this world is different from the original story.
However, the main storyline of this world has not changed at present.
The wooden plank beneath the three-headed dog is the secret passage leading to the Philosopher's Stone.
But Levine believed this was a test Dumbledore had deliberately given Harry.
If Dumbledore really didn't want Voldemort to get his hands on the Philosopher's Stone, he could have simply spoken to its rightful owner, Nicolas Flamel, and destroyed it. Why bother protecting it?
Moreover, in the original storyline, Dumbledore destroyed the Philosopher's Stone before Harry Potter regained his senses after Voldemort's defeat.
The fact that the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed in such a short time is enough to show that Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel had already planned it.
Levin had no intention of disrupting Dumbledore's plans; he didn't yet have the strength or the need to challenge them.
Although he participated in the main storyline with Harry, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, it was normal for him to get involved given their relationship in the Muggle world.
Old Bidet wouldn't rashly develop unnecessary attention and suspicion towards him because of this.
If you deliberately avoid Harry, it will give people the impression that you have something to hide.
Let things take their natural course.
Turning to look at the four terrified men, Levin sighed. Louie had a thick iron chain around his neck, but the chain was too short to pose any threat to them.
However, it's normal for the little wizard to be afraid of it.
Levin had no choice but to wave his wand:
"【Dancing Light Technique】"
In an instant, a glittering point of light appeared between his wands, then flickered towards Luwei like a firefly, as if trying to grasp the light.
At this moment, Lou Williams was no different from a puppy trying to catch a butterfly.
"Let's go out while I've got its attention."
Levin whispered a reminder.
Hermione was the first to react. With a click, she opened the door, and the group quickly fled the scene.
Filch had already disappeared somewhere. The five parted ways at the stairwell and went home.
Before leaving, everyone else left, but Hermione suddenly grabbed Levin.
"What's wrong, Miss Granger?" Levin looked at her curiously, his eyes full of sleepiness.
“Just call me Hermione, Mr. Green,”
Hermione looked a little embarrassed, but her thirst for knowledge quickly overcame her shyness: "Mr. Grimm, please... please tell me what magic you used to hide in the Trophy Room. I initially thought it was the Disillusionment Charm, but that seems to be a spell that can only be learned in higher grades, and the effect of hiding is far inferior to the Disillusionment Charm."
Levin nodded: "That's right, the Disillusionment Charm is indeed a spell that is only allowed to be learned in senior years. I didn't use the Disillusionment Charm."
"Because my magic is much more effective than the [Disillusionment Charm]." Levin grinned mischievously as he watched the girl in front of him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Stronger than the Disillusionment Charm? How is that possible?" Hermione's mouth dropped open.
"Of course it's possible, because I used my own self-created magic, [Invisibility]."
"[Invisibility]?! That means this magic can..." Hermione was somewhat incredulous.
"You guessed right, [Invisibility] can achieve true invisibility, just like wearing an invisibility cloak."
"So, you created a spell that completely replaces the Disillusionment Charm, and its effect can replace the Invisibility Cloak?"
An invisibility cloak is an expensive magical garment made from the fur of an invisible beast, which allows the wearer to become completely invisible.
Because it is more effective than the Disguise Charm, and unlike the Disguise Charm, it is not affected by the Reveal Charm.
Therefore, it is very popular among wizards with special needs.
However, the invisibility cloak is very expensive and not permanent; it loses its magical effect over time, making it a valuable consumable.
Incidentally, Harry Potter's invisibility cloak is special.
As one of the three holy relics of death, it not only possesses permanent invisibility but also shields the location of prophetic spells, thus enabling it to escape the gaze of death.
For this reason, many mages throughout history have studied how to use magic to achieve the effect of an invisibility cloak.
Unfortunately, they all failed.
Invisibility cloaks have always been a luxury in the magical world.
Now that Levin claims to have invented a spell that can completely overwhelm the Illusion Charm and replace the Invisibility Cloak, it means that his magical achievements surpass those of many historical geniuses.
Hermione, of course, found it hard to believe.
So Levin used the [Invisibility] spell right in front of her.
Watching Levin become transparent without a trace right in front of her, and then reappear behind her, Hermione had no choice but to believe it.
"If you know the Reveal Charm, you'll find that ordinary Reveal Charms cannot affect [Invisibility]."
Looking at the dumbfounded little witch, Levin added with a smile.
[Invisibility] Since it originates from the arcane magic system, it's normal that the Revealing Charm is ineffective in the Harry Potter world.
The only spells that can counter [Invisibility] are the second-level Arcane spell [Detect Invisibility] and the more advanced sixth-level spell [True Knowledge].
Seemingly wanting to continue enjoying the other person's surprised expression, Levin pressed his advantage:
"If you've learned the Illusion Charm, you'll find that the Invisibility Charm is easier to learn than the Illusion Charm."
According to the nine-ring magic system, the [Illusion Charm] is roughly between the third and fourth ring spells, while the [Invisibility] is only a second ring spell.
Hermione, upon hearing this, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
She stepped forward and grabbed Levin's hand: "Coach, I want to learn magic!"
"what?"
The little witch blushed, trying to suppress her embarrassment, and said to the boy in front of her, who was about the same age, "I... I mean, can I learn magic from you? Not just the [Invisibility] spell, but also the magic that controls the flying light spell."
"You mean, the Dance of Light?"
"Yes, yes, please teach me, okay?"
She looked at Levin hopefully, her resentment having dissipated considerably.
If during the first week of school she still felt that Levin was her rival,
From now on, Levin will become her goal.
Now, all that remains in her heart is admiration and trepidation.
After all, the [Invisibility Technique] is so powerful that not everyone is willing to reveal their unique skills.
But Levin's warm smile dispelled his unease: "Of course, I'm glad someone is willing to learn my magic. You know where to find me."
Hermione completely underestimated her own value.
Regardless of her cute appearance and her status as the "female lead,"
Her talent alone is enough to warrant Levin teaching her some simple spells.
In the entire Harry Potter universe, excluding a few exceptional individuals, Hermione Granger's talent is already among the best.
For Levin, who has ambitious goals, he is a worthwhile person to win over.
Since the goal is to win them over, it's natural to be willing to make initial investments.
“Yes, yes, I know, thank you, Mr. Green.” Hermione was so happy that she could hardly find the words.
"Just call me Levin." The boy waved his hand. "It's late, girls are prone to getting pimples from staying up late."
"Yes, it is."
"Hermione, see you tomorrow?"
See you tomorrow, Levin!
The girl skipped and hopped away, disappearing from his sight with a cheerful gait.
As expected, little girls are more adorable; just a few promises and words of concern are enough to win their most genuine feelings.
If it were a mature adult... to achieve the same effect, they would most likely have to rely on real money.
Chapter 26 The Ghost's Gaze
Levin gained a little fangirl and finally dragged his weary steps back to Ravenclaw.
Even late at night, he still had to confront the problem of the magic door knocker:
"What can be possessed but not shared?"
Levin was exhausted, but this problem was no challenge for him.
The answer came after a little thought:
"Lonely."
"Makes sense."
