HP solves the mystery

Chapter 19 Chores

Severus touched his nose. He found that the Slytherin students were looking at him strangely recently. It was not because he was wearing any weird clothes, nor was it because he had points deducted. All in all, it was just weird and very annoying. uncomfortable.

This made him sigh in relief after walking through the corridor, and when those people were out of sight, he didn't know how they could be so careless.

He seriously suspected that life was too dull because the Gryffindor little lions didn't come to cause trouble, and the portraits no longer traveled around the castle, as if they were plotting something.

The course selection at Hogwarts is very user-friendly. If you don't take astronomy classes, there are basically no classes in the evening. This means that after five o'clock in the afternoon, the little wizards' time is allocated freely.

Well, except for the evening astronomy class, you can't change the time.

Severus has been determined to find the legendary 'Come and Go Room' in the past few days, which is the 'Room of Requirements'. If he wants to practice the Patronus Charm or other magic, there must be a secret place, but there has never been one. turn up.

He returned to the dormitory and found that Regulus was working on his broomstick. The care oil had been applied layer by layer, and the handle looked like it would slip even if a fly stood on it.

"Severus, you've been so busy recently. I couldn't find anyone to ask you questions." Regulus put the broom away and looked at Severus with sad eyes.

Severus had heard too much about someone's deeds and didn't want to pay attention to it, but looking at those dog eyes and finally giving in, he remembered the Marauder's Map made by the Potters. Maybe he knew about the Room of Requirement. .

"Regulus, if you use the time you spend maintaining your broomstick to study, I think you will get all O's." He sat in front of the desk, took out the parchment in his bag, and traced something on it with a pencil. Pretending to be casual, he asked, "By the way, do you know about the 'coming and going room' in school? I heard the house elf mention it a few times..."

"Come and go to the house?"

Regulus thought for a moment after hearing the question and frowned. When he first entered school, he was keen on night walks and exploring castles. This name was mentioned by Sirius and his family.

"Are you talking about the 'Room of Requirement' that can only be found when needed? I've heard of it, but I don't know where it is." He answered honestly, stood up from the chair, and moved closer to Severus.

The older generation has a strong sense of bad taste. They will not tell their children the secrets of the school and let them explore on their own. They may also prank them before entering school. For example, when Ron entered school, he thought that the sorting ceremony was about fighting a troll.

Severus copied the magic pattern and did not feel disappointed by Regulus's answer. After all, he knew that there were not many people in the Room of Requirement. He only asked this to deceive. What if he knew?

Regulus smelled the scent of the potion wafting from the tip of his nose, put his chin on Severus' shoulder, rubbed his cheek inadvertently, squinted his eyes and asked, "Water, ice, gathering...are you a water-collecting demon?" Wen? Do you have too much homework? "

Severus moved his shoulders uncomfortably. In his previous life, his sister loved to play like this. He didn't notice anything wrong for a while, but when he heard the young man's deep voice, he realized that something was strange.

Just when he was about to scold him, the weight on his shoulders suddenly disappeared, and his slender fingers pointed at the parchment.

"Here, the angle should be further to the left. This is a small five-pointed star, not the sun..."

Severus frowned and thought, and realized that the boy was right, so he stopped worrying about what had just happened and continued tracing the magic lines.

These recent homework assignments have really exhausted him. He really doesn’t know what the use of these crooked magic patterns that look like ghostly symbols are carved on them...

Regulus raised his lips and moved closer, as if he wanted to hold someone in his arms.

He liked the feeling of being close to Severus, it reminded him of that cute, fluffy and coquettish cat.

It snowed again at the beginning of December, and Filch's night patrol time was shortened due to the cold weather. It may also be because of the squib, to avoid the pranks of the lively little wizards.

The little wizards' boots crunched the snow, and they wore warm robes and walked through the vegetable fields to attend herbal medicine classes.

Snowflakes fell on the roof of the greenhouse, and Professor Sprout had to cast several isolation spells to make the thick layer of snow fall down, and the room became much brighter.

In the afternoon, they decided to move the Care of Magical Creatures class from outdoors to an empty classroom on the first floor. Of course, they were not afraid of what would happen to those magical creatures, but mainly because they were afraid of something happening to the little wizards. Originally, their class was to observe Grindy in the Black Lake. Luo, now hatching fire-ash snake eggs.

Severus didn't know which one was safer, but he could see Professor Kettleburn's love for the Ash Snake.

During lunch, Severus ate something in a hurry and went to the library to check some information, leaving Regulus alone to eat in the restaurant.

Barty Jr. approached Regulus and said that the afternoon Quidditch training was cancelled, allowing them to move around freely.

Regulus hummed coldly, remembering what Severus had asked a few days ago, and slowly said, "Little Barty, do you know where the Room of Requirement is?"

"I seem to know this," Andre raised his hand happily. It was rare for him to know something. Seeing the two people looking over, he said with joy, "Gryffindor's mad dog, er, I mean Potter and the others, I Once I saw him on the eighth floor, I wanted to follow him for a sneak attack, but several people disappeared around the corner..."

He paused for a moment while looking at the two of them, trying hard to ignore the disgusted looks in Regulus's and the others' eyes, and took a sip of orange juice, "I've looked around there, and there's no empty classrooms or hidden tunnels, not to mention there's only a tapestry nearby. !”

Little Barty had a new understanding of this friend's IQ, and interrupted impatiently, "Why didn't you tell us such important information before? You must know that it is really the Room of Requirement! Then! You are really like Giant It’s weird!”

"You are like a troll, your mind is full of splendens! My father said that I am like my mother, the smartest child in the family!" Andre retorted unconvinced.

"You are the most stupid person. Do you know how important what you said is to us! You should go to Hufflepuff when the sorting is done!"

"Ah ah, I will fight with you, eat my piece of cake!"

"Haha, go eat your onions! Andre!"

"Carrots are flying! Diudiu diu!"

The two of them pecked each other for a while, but they didn't even touch each other's clothes, they just stuffed each other's disgusting food into them.

Regulus sat a little further away in silence, not surprised by this scene. The two of them had a fight every week, just like three or four-year-old children.

He remembered what Andre said and thought about where the eighth floor was.

Around the corner, there is no classroom, there is a tapestry...

Where will the Room of Requirement be? Should I ask Sirius? You know, after the last Quidditch match, they had a private fight. I wonder if they would tell me if I asked.
