Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 4 Special Dungeon Opens—Secret Room

In just an instant, Rossi's figure disappeared from the sky surrounded by green light produced by the Death Curse.

Immediately afterwards, she was in a vast white space, but she, who had completed many daily dungeons, was not at all uncomfortable with this state of being alone.

"Huh! I escaped death!"

After taking a long breath, Rossi checked his physical condition and the equipment he carried in his backpack, and then quietly watched the timer on the system panel count down silently.

A few seconds later, as the loading of the space scene was completed, the system's mechanical sound came as expected:

[The copy scene has been generated and the AI ​​is being called...

Identity to use the copy: Trainee agent of the Ministry of Magic (please check the mission panel for details).

Mission 1: Enter Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

Mission 2: Find out the truth behind the Hogwarts attack.

Mission 3: Save Ginny.]

As the sound of the system fell, Rossi was already in a train car that was about to arrive at the station.

He observed the surrounding environment through the car window, and then wandered inside the car for a while. After confirming that he was on the Hogwarts Express train at this time, Rossi did not rush to get off the train, but remained silent.

The task panel is opened.

After confirming the three tasks of the dungeon again, she clicked on the detailed description of the identity of the dungeon and read it several times carefully:

[There are rumors that the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts has been opened again. The Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic plans to send people to Hogwarts to investigate. With the intervention of a caring person, they decided to send Rossi, the trainee agent closest to Hogwarts, to go first.

Go to investigate...]

"The Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts has been opened again. This should refer to "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", that's right!" Rossi gently held his chin with his right hand, thinking silently in his mind, "Someone is interested? Someone is stopping it.

The Ministry of Magic found out the truth about the Chamber of Secrets? Could this be Lucius Malfoy who secretly stuffed Voldemort's Horcrux into Ginny's textbook in the movie?"

"I hope the plot of this dungeon is the same as what I saw in the movie before traveling through time, so that I can easily pass this dungeon!"

After praying a few words secretly, Rossi stood up from his seat, straightened out the cotton and linen clothes that had become wrinkled from sitting for a long time, and then walked slowly towards the car door.

When the train came to a stop and the heavy compartment door was slowly opened, she arrived at the door after estimating the approximate time.

Before getting off the bus, Rossi's sight was occupied by the lush plants beside the platform wall of Hogsmeade Station. Even though it was winter, these plants that were afraid of the cold were still in full bloom like summer.

In the game, Hogsmeade is a novice village. Thanks to the convenience of the forum, Rosie, who was born in Godric's Hollow, has also seen some pictures and videos about this village, and this dungeon tour

, but it was her first time coming to this place.

"Sure enough, a village composed entirely of wizards is more magical than a settlement that is half wizards and half Muggles."

Looking at the active elves in the flowers, Rossi murmured softly, and turned his attention to the hybrid giant sitting on the platform bench, who was over three meters tall and wearing an oversized fur coat.

Seeing Rossi's eyes turning towards him, this rather ferocious-looking mixed-race giant, whose entire head was covered in hair, had a somewhat reserved look on his face. He slowly stood up from his seat, with a loud voice.

He asked with a bit of nervousness:

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Rossi?"

After that, he continued as if he remembered something:

"I am Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts. Principal Dumbledore asked me to pick you up."

Rosie couldn't help but be surprised by the NPC's initiative to talk to them. After spending hundreds of hours in this game, she had never seen an NPC take the initiative to talk to a player.

"The AI ​​call reported by the system at the beginning turned out to be this. He confirmed his identity to me. Is it a polite way of opening up the topic?"

While thinking about it, Rossi took out the trainee agent's ID from the system's inventory and handed it to Hagrid. After the other party took the ID and looked through it, he spoke again:

"Hello, I am Rosie, a trainee agent from the Ministry of Magic. Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Trainee agent..." Hagrid repeated in a low voice, his expression visibly relaxed.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Agent Rossi." He said with a forced smile on his face.

"Thanks!"

Rossi thanked him politely, and then said:

"Hogwarts is also a place I always dreamed of visiting when I was a child. Now that I can go there in person, it is considered a blessing."

Hearing what Rossi said, Hagrid's face showed a bit of pride and his expression became more relaxed. He shook his head slightly and boasted with a smile:

"Hogwarts is the best wizarding school in the wizarding world!"

Rossi nodded in agreement and then asked:

"Presumably Principal Dumbledore should have told you the purpose of my visit. I wonder what is going on inside Hogwarts now? Are any students harmed?"

But he was trying to find out from the other side what stage the plot of the dungeon was at.

Hearing Rosie talk about business, Hagrid glanced at her quietly, then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction outside the station:

"Let's talk while walking?"

…

Following Hagrid, Rossi quickly walked out of Hogsmeade Station and got into a carriage pulled by an invisible creature parked on the roadside.

"It is rumored that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets has been opened." Hagrid, who was sitting next to Rossi, said slowly, "Mrs. Norris was petrified as a result, which caused a lot of panic among the students..."

While listening to Hagrid's explanation, Rossi looked at the invisible animal caught between the shafts of the carriage in front of him, trying to see clearly the legendary creature that could only be seen after experiencing death.

"However, this incident may be just a prank. After all, after the last time the secret room was opened, no students were petrified." Hagrid continued.

"Prank?" Rossi stopped his futile attempts and turned his gaze to the hybrid giant beside him. After looking at him for a moment, he said quietly, "This kind of prank will definitely be sent to Azkaban once discovered.

I don't think any sane person would do that."

"Well……"

Hagrid suddenly became speechless, his eyes unnaturally glanced to one side, and after a moment he suddenly turned his head to look at Rossi.

"This requires you as a detective to investigate clearly."

"Of course, this is my mission."

Rossi answered with a smile, then leaned heavily on the cashmere cushion behind him, seemingly relaxing and closing his eyes, but his brain was running rapidly among the lightning:

"He seems to be worried about something, and he seems to want to hide something... Is he worried that I will treat him as a suspect? Or is there something new in the game?"

"Mr. Hagrid..." With his thoughts racing, Rosie half-closed his eyes and spoke again. After Hagrid heard the voice and turned his eyes, he said in the softest tone possible, "I heard that many years ago,

When Mr. Hagrid was still a student, he was expelled from Hogwarts because of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets? So, was it you who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

Hearing Rossi's question, Hagrid immediately sat up straight unnaturally, his right hand holding the umbrella tightened involuntarily, and a nervous look appeared on his rough face again:

"It's not me! I never opened the secret room!"
