Ye Ting was adding meat sauce to the fried noodles when Anthony Goldstein nudged him and whispered in his ear,""Hey, great genius, have you heard? The three of them went to the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor last night to explore. It was really too bold. When should we secretly go and take a look?”
Before Ye Ting could reply, Hermione interrupted,""I heard it, Anthony! How could you encourage him to do such a thing? This will cause us to deduct points from the academy.”
"Oh, Hermione, can you not be such a killjoy?”Terry Burt was a little helpless.
They all agreed that Hermione was good in every way except for being too serious and meddlesome.
"That's right, great genius. Please control your 'little girlfriend'.”Michael Corner was also jeering.
"I'm not her little girlfriend!”Hermione was so angry that her face turned red, but her voice was a little soft when she said this. Her eyes were also wandering around Ye Ting's body. It was obvious that she was not confident.
"Come on, Hermione, it's just a discussion, don't be so serious.”Ye Ting put down the fork in his hand and stroked the little girl's thick hair to comfort her. He was already very familiar with this action.
Hermione immediately shut her mouth obediently, which made Ye Ting feel a little strange. Ever since the accident in the flying class, this situation had happened several times. Every time, Ye Ting could easily appease the angry Hermione.
But before that, Hermione would argue with him for a long time every time until she was rendered speechless by Ye Ting.
On the other side, Zhang Qiu successfully changed the topic of discussion."Do any of you know what's in that corridor? I heard that a lot of seniors secretly went in to explore, but they never told me what they found.”
"There's a Cerberus over there." Penello, who was sitting opposite Ye Ting, answered the question.
Now she was also a member of this small group and often stayed with Ye Ting, Hermione, and Zhang Qiu.
"I tried to sneak into that corridor before, but I was blocked by a three-headed dog. That big dog was much taller than me, and its fangs were scary. Although it was sleeping most of the time, one of its heads was always awake. By the way, I found a trapdoor on the floor where the Cerberus was lying, and I think the secret is in that trapdoor.”
Then, she lowered her voice and whispered,"I heard Dumbledore called Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Professor Quirrell, and Hagrid together over the summer holidays to set up a game there, where each of them designed a level.”
"Is this true? Why would they do that?" Hermione looked incredulous.
"I'm guessing that there's definitely something hidden there that you don't want anyone to get their hands on.”"Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much effort to use the checkpoint to stop others," Zhang Qiu said with some certainty.”
"I think so too."
"I think so too."
The others expressed their agreement.
However, as a transmigrator, Ye Ting had a different opinion.
"I think this is a trap set by Professor Dumbledore.”Then he explained,"If Professor Dumbledore wanted to hide something, he could have hidden it somewhere he knew, all by himself.
"But Professor Dumbledore's choice to leave it in that corridor, and to make it clear that it was off limits, is obviously telling people: There was a secret here. The news that Professor Dumbledore had invited the professors to build a checkpoint had already spread, further supporting this conclusion: Professor Dumbledore himself did not want to keep the secret. It was even possible that he wanted everyone to know what was hidden there.
" The purpose of the checkpoint is to filter. Ordinary students can't pass the checkpoint. Only those with strength can pass the checkpoint and discover what he's hiding. This is his goal.”
At this point, he deliberately paused. Around him, the three girls and three roommates cast him expectant and approving gazes, so he continued.
"I think these checkpoints might be a test for us by Professor Dumbledore. I hope that the students can pass these checkpoints to conduct a practical assessment.
"The other possibility is that these checkpoints are used to catch thieves. The thief wanted to steal something from Dumbledore, and the Professor used these checkpoints to set traps and put the things the thief wanted to steal into the traps as bait. The thief would probably think that these checkpoints were just Dumbledore's anti-theft measures, but in fact they were just a disguise, designed to attract the thief's attention, to make him believe that what he wanted to steal was hidden there-everyone believed that the more precious something was, the better it was protected. If the thief had really broken through the barrier, he would have been fooled, because Dumbledore was trying to draw him out.”
