Chapter 238: Professor Taila

The secret passage was dim, without even a torch, but if there were torches, it probably couldn't be called a secret passage.

"Secret passage number thirteen, leading to the alchemy office and the washroom..."

Fred introduced proudly, and then he quickened his pace.

"I think I understand—there's no Professor Taila in the book, she doesn't like fame, right?"

George's expression was a bit strange, he whispered.

"Alright, we're here. Don't speak next, wait quietly."

Fred reminded, and then took a thin rope out of his bag.

"This is our masterpiece, although we don't know what to name it yet, it doesn't hinder it from being very useful."

George threw the rope on the ground, and it extended itself, all the way to the end of the secret passage, and then made a turn to the right.

"Professor Taila has classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, at other times you definitely won't see her—she's a very busy person. Even after she finishes class, she'll disappear; if you can't find her today, you'll have to wait a week, because only on Mondays will she be in some places to grade homework.

Oh—not long after grading, she'll stay in a nearby corridor for a while... but we don't know where she'll grade, so we have to rely on this!"

The thin rope shook gently, Fred muttered to himself:

"Oh, not in this classroom, not here either, then we know... take secret passage number five!"

In a strange atmosphere, Sean followed the twins out from behind a large portrait; they jumped out of the portrait and turned into another secret passage that would only open after knocking six times.

"Lumos!"

Light burst from the tip of Fred's wand.

"Lumos!"

George lit his wand the next moment.

"We'll wait here, and when we tell you you can go out, you'll hold all the alchemy books to 'accidentally encounter' Professor Taila.

If you're lucky, you can talk to the professor; if you're unlucky, you'll bump into the professor—remember to put the notebook on top..."

Sean nodded; although he felt this kind of accidental encounter was a bit ahead of its time, after hearing the Wei Silais say they had bumped into the professor seven times, he didn't speak.

"Lumos!"

He lit his wand and opened "Modern Magical History," which contained records of Uagadou Magic School.

Uagadou is located in Africa and has been founded for at least a thousand years. Although there are many small magic schools in Africa, Uagadou is the only one that has stood the test of time and achieved an enviable international reputation.

Students there are especially good at astronomy, alchemy, and Transfiguration.

At an international Animagus seminar once held, the Uagadou school delegation almost caused a riot during a synchronous transformation demonstration, attracting a lot of media attention. Many older and experienced wizards felt threatened by a group of 14-year-olds because Uagadou students could transform into elephants and cheetahs at will.

In addition, they cast magic through gestures, the reason being that wands were invented in Europe and hadn't spread there.

So they often violated the "International Statute of Secrecy" in the beginning, and the Ministry of Magic couldn't do anything about them because they said:

"I just waved my hand, never intended to dislocate his jaw."

It made the Ministry of Magic change the rules overnight.

"Oh, it's time! Go!"

Fred seemed very excited; he pushed Sean out of the secret passage, at which time a silver-robed professor with white hair and an extremely low-pressure look was carrying some parchment.

With a wave of her finger, without even using a wand, those parchments jumped into a trash can that had just appeared, and then both the paper and the trash can disappeared.

Flora Taila was always expressionless; alchemy class had been open for more than two months, and that group of little wizards couldn't even distinguish Feoh from f.

They were just different spellings of the same Rune in different regions.

The silver-haired professor glanced at the thin line in the corner, and the disappeared parchment returned as two sheets. A quill jumped out of the office and quickly wrote something on the parchment, then the parchment turned into an owl, flapping its wings and flying away.

At the same time, in the Great Hall, Pamela Peyton and the Gryffindor beside her were hit on the head by a roll of parchment that fell down.

Sean watched this magical scene, his attention falling on that trash can.

"It's... Vanishing Spell, Disillusionment Charm, Revealing Charm, and Transfiguration..."

"Not bad, keen intuition."

Her eyebrows raised slightly, her voice wasn't loud, but enough for the Wei Silais to hear, leaving Sean knowing nothing.

"We have to help him—"

Fred was spinning in circles in place. ===== CHAPTER 239 =====
