Chapter 36 Three-headed dogs and levels  

Jack was adding meat sauce to the fried noodles when Anthony Goldstein next to him poked him and whispered in his ear: "Hey, great genius, have you heard? The three of them went to four last night. It's too bold to explore the forbidden corridor in the building. When are we going to take a sneak peek?"

Before Jack could answer, Hermione on the other side interrupted, "I heard you, Anthony! How can you encourage him to do such a thing? It will make us deduct points from the academy."

"Oh, Hermione, can you stop being such a spoiler?" Terry Boot beside him was a little helpless.

They agreed that Hermione was all right, just too serious and too busy.

"That's right, great genius, please take care of your 'girlfriend'." Michael Corner also coaxed.

"I'm not his girlfriend!" Hermione blushed with anger, but when she said this, her voice was a little low, and her eyes were wandering around Jack, obviously lack of confidence.

"Okay, Hermione, let's talk about it, don't be so serious." Jack put down the fork in his hand and stroked the girl's thick long hair to comfort him. He was already very familiar with this movement.

Hermione immediately obediently kept her mouth shut, which made Jack a little strange-since the accident in the flying class, this had happened several times, and Jack could easily appease the angry Hermione every time.

But earlier, Hermione would argue with him for a while every time, until Jack was speechless.

On the other hand, Chang Cho smoothly changed the topic of discussion: "Does any of you know what's in that corridor? I heard that many seniors secretly went in to explore, but they never told me what they found. ."

"There is a three-headed dog there." Penelope, who was sitting opposite Jack, answered this question.

Now she is also a member of this small group and often stays with Jack, Hermione and Chang Cho.

"I also tried to sneak into that corridor before, only to be stopped by a three- headed dog. The big dog was much taller than me and grinned terribly.

Although it was whirring most of the time. Sleep, but one head is always awake. By the way, I found a trapdoor on the floor where the three-headed dog was lying, and I think the secret is in that trapdoor."

Then, she lowered her voice and whispered: "I heard that during the summer vacation, Dumbledore called together Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, Professor Snape, Professor Quirrell and With Hagrid building a level game there, everyone designed a level."

"Is it true? Why did they do this?" Hermione couldn't believe it.

"I guess, there is definitely something hidden there that I don't want people to get." Chang Cho said with some certainty: "Otherwise, it would not have taken so much effort to use the checkpoint to stop others."

"I think so too." "I think so too." Others agreed.

But Jack, who was a transmigrator, raised a different opinion.

"I think this is a deliberate trap set by Professor Dumbledore." Then he explained: "If Professor Dumbledore wants to hide something, he can hide it by himself in a place where only he Know where."

"However, now Professor Dumbledore's choice is to put things in that corridor, and clearly tell everyone that it is forbidden to enter, which is obviously telling others: there is a secret here. And Professor Dumbledore invited the professors to build the level together. The news has spread and further supports this conclusion: Professor Dumbledore himself did not want to hide the secret, and it is even possible that he just wanted to let everyone know what was hidden there."

"The function of the checkpoint is to screen, ordinary students can't pass the checkpoint, only those with strength can

Get through the levels to find what he's hiding, and that's what he's here for. "

Having said that, he deliberately paused. Around him, the three girls and three roommates all cast anticipation and approval at him, so he continued.

"I think these levels may be Professor Dumbledore's test for us. I hope that the students can pass these levels to conduct a practical assessment."

"Another possibility is that these levels were used to catch thieves. The thief wanted to steal from Dumbledore, and the professor used these levels to set a trap and put what the thief wanted to steal as bait into the trap. The thief probably thought that these levels were just Dumbledore's anti-theft measures. In fact, the levels were just a disguise, and the ultimate purpose was to attract the thief's attention and make the thief believe that what he wanted to steal was hidden there - everyone They all believe that the more precious things are, the better they are protected. If the thief does break into the level, then he is fooled, because Dumbledore wants to lure him out."
