abnormal hogwarts

All members of Akatsuki gathered in the Room of Requirement tonight.

They haven't been together for a long time, usually only about half of them are here.

Penello and new member Zhang Qiu were the last to arrive.

On the first night of the freshman year, he went out at night in violation of school rules. Zhang Qiu was a little worried, but he came over in the end.

Every little wizard has the characteristics of more than one house, and maybe Gryffindor is also suitable for her.

In the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle, Penello lifted the illusion spell on the two of them.

"As long as you walk back and forth in front of this painting three times while silently saying 'I want a place that only members of the Akatsuki organization can enter' in your mind, you can enter."

After explaining how to enter the Room of Requirement, Penello demonstrated it himself, and a door suddenly appeared on the wall.

"Now, go in yourself."

Penello had a smile on his face and patted Zhang Qiu's shoulder to encourage him.

"What about you? Senior Penello?"

Zhang Qiu was a little nervous. Why didn't Penello go in with her?

After pinching Zhang Qiu's face, the curve of Penelo's mouth became more obvious: "This is your welcome ceremony."

Penelo could hardly help but laugh when he thought about what would happen next.

Zhang Qiu nodded as if he understood, and opened the door of the Room of Requirement with a bit of resignation.

It was a dark place inside the Room of Requirement.

Here again, here again!

"Senior? Senior!"

The dark Room of Requirement, with its open door like the entrance to an all-devouring abyss, Zhang Qiu hesitated in her steps. She looked back at Penello, only to find that Penello had disappeared at some point.

This scared her even more.

The corridor on the eighth floor was empty, with no one around, except for the gloomy wind blowing in from the window. The howling wind added a sense of eeriness to the terrifying atmosphere.

Zhang Qiu felt his scalp numb.

She wanted to retreat, but when she turned back, she found that the road she came from had no light at all, and the darkness was gradually approaching her.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...

A flame suddenly ignited inside the Room of Requirement.

Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Zhang Qiu gritted his teeth and ran towards the only light source in the room.

Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief as he broke through the barrier of darkness without any danger and came to the flame.

The flame suddenly expanded and almost caught Zhang Qiu's bangs on her forehead. She quickly took a few steps back.

The expanding flame suddenly split and turned into fiery snakes leaping around, lighting up the torches on the wall.

With the light from the torch, Zhang Qiu could barely see everything in the room where the request was made.

Nine black shadows with colorful halos around their edges surrounded her at some point.

Zhang Qiu was so frightened that she opened her mouth to scream, but fortunately Penello spoke before her.

"Qiu, it's me! Penello!"

Zhang Qiu recognized Penello's voice and calmed down a little.

"You scared me to death! Senior!"

"Sorry, this is more of a ritual. Penello also experienced it when he joined the association."

Zhang Qiu was not familiar with Albert's voice, but she could identify the speaker's identity from the blue eyes on the black shadow's face.

The light fell on every corner of the Room of Requirement. The torches on the wall were extinguished after losing their role in creating a terrifying atmosphere. Only then did Zhang Qiu discover that the other nine people from Xiao were either standing or sitting, scattered throughout the Room of Requirement. In every corner.

The few black figures surrounding her were just a few phantoms.

Zhang Qiu, who had recovered from the initial fright, reached out curiously and touched the shadow, and her arm passed through the shadow.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"Lantern Body Technique, a long-distance communication magic, similar to... the Dark Mark of Death Eaters."

Woz, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and reading a book, explained to her aloud.

The topic suddenly came to the Dark Lord, and Zhang Qiu couldn't help but shudder. Even a young wizard who had just entered school knew the names of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters.

Woz wanted to stand up and hand the ring and the black red cloud wizard robe to Zhang Qiu, but as soon as his butt was less than an inch away from the sofa, Cedric pushed him back.

"Let me go!"

Cedric Zhu Wushuang Digory snatched the thing from Woz's hand.

The Woz-Weasley trio, who were sitting on the sofa watching the excitement, had narrow smiles on their faces.

Penello also pulled his two best friends away, giving Cedric and Zhang Qiu some space to be alone.

……

Elizabeth squatted next to Albert, watching Albert boil the potion with great interest.

Nico also has a lot of potion materials in his collection, but compared to alchemy materials, not so much.

If it were Nico's residence in France, he might be able to collect all the potions needed for the blood fusion potion.

But not so much at this manor house in Devon.

There are too many potion materials required for blood fusion potion, more than 80 kinds, and more than half of them are materials that are considered precious in the magic world, and a few can even be called extremely rare.

Fortunately, there are no out-of-print potion ingredients in the formula, otherwise Albert would really go crazy.

It will take some time to ask Woz to mobilize the family's forces to collect potions. This does not prevent Albert from making some preliminary preparations using the materials he already has.

After all, it takes more than two months to complete the brewing of the potion.

Some of these materials can be processed in advance, or at the same time, as long as the key steps of processing the main materials are performed in order.

Albert's proficiency in potions has allowed Albert to no longer have to stick to the step-by-step refining methods of formulas. Of course, this is limited to relatively simple potions.

For magic potions like Polyjuice Potion, Albert currently does not have the ability to improve its refining methods, let alone modify the formula to achieve stronger effects.

It is said that the more serious a man is, the more handsome he is. Elizabeth stared at Albert's perfect profile and became more and more fascinated. Even after Albert brewed the first batch of potions, she didn't even come back to her senses.

"Isa? Isa?"

Albert's voice woke Elizabeth from her reverie.

"Just wipe the saliva and it will almost drip into the crucible."

Albert tilted his head and glanced at her, then turned back to continue tinkering with other materials.

Hearing Albert's words, Elizabeth hurriedly wiped her mouth, only to realize that Albert was lying to her.

The little witch was so angry that she wanted to pinch Albert's arm hard, but seeing Albert's serious and busy look, Elizabeth, who had already put her hand on Albert's arm, suddenly couldn't bear to disturb him. .

In the end, she just pinched Albert's arm gently and took her hand back.

From a distance, Zhang Qiu looked at Elizabeth with some envy. She was so bitter. She also wanted a boyfriend who was so handsome and powerful, but looking at Albert, it was obvious that he already had a wife.

He turned his head and looked at Cedric. His appearance was not bad, but when Zhang Qiu thought about Cedric's performance when he tried to break up the fight in the carriage that afternoon, he silently deducted a lot of points from him.

Cedric has a long way to go if he wants to pursue Zhang Qiu.
