Chapter Three: The Search Begins
The search for the vault began the next day. Harry and his friends were put in charge of a team of Aurors, and they set out to search the castle room by room.
The castle had changed since they had left. The walls were covered with new portraits of famous wizards and witches, and new traps had been set up to prevent intruders.
They searched every room, every secret passage, and every corridor, but they found nothing. The days turned into weeks, and everyone was getting tired and frustrated.
But Harry and his friends were not willing to give up. They knew that the fate of the wizarding world rested on their shoulders, and they were determined to find the vault.
One day, while they were searching the dungeons, they heard a strange sound. It was coming from a wall. Harry pressed his ear against it and heard a faint whisper.
"Ron, Hermione, come over here!" he said.
Together, they pressed against the wall, and it gave way. A secret door opened, and they walked into a long, dark passage.
