Reborn at Hogwarts

At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there are very few students who like to wander around the castle at night.

On the one hand, it was because of the strict school rules. If caught by the castle administrators and professors, points would be deducted from the college, and they would also face punishments such as confinement.

On the other hand, it is because... Hogwarts at night is actually not as interesting as imagined.

After the sun set and the dinner was over, the students of the four colleges returned to their lounges one after another. At this time, the castle was silently plunged into a deep darkness. Occasionally, the moon peeped out from behind the clouds , to briefly illuminate the road ahead.

Sometimes you walk a little louder and get criticized by portraits.

Imagine that you are walking alone in a dark castle in front of you in a dark night, and when you are feeling uneasy, a loud and powerful curse suddenly sounds in your ear:

"Damn boy, you woke me up! Where's the administrator? There's a student who goes out at night!"

At this time, I am afraid that shock on the spot is the best choice.

However, even though there are various obstacles on the way of the night tour, there will still be some students who will dispatch late at night for their own reasons to fight wits and courage with the castle administrator.

Among these adventurous students, the makers of the "Marauder's Map" were undoubtedly the most outstanding group.

They mixed their own hard work with whimsical ideas to create such a prop that in a certain sense fully embodies the wonder of magic.

"...If possible, I really want to interview them face to face. How did you do it?"

In the middle of the stairs leading to the eighth floor of the castle, Ivan held the Marauder's Map in his left hand, and stared closely at the small black dot marked "Argus Filch" with the dim light from the magic wand in his right hand.

After he gradually walked away and left the eighth floor, Ivan immediately put away the map and walked up the stairs lightly.

Although he came late at night according to Dumbledore's request, Ivan had no intention of telling Filch about it.

God knows if there is still a trap set by Paracelsus in him, it is better to avoid him as much as possible.

In the silent darkness, although he had deliberately slowed down his pace, the sound of Ivan's footsteps still seemed a little harsh. He held up his wand, keeping the light from the tip of the wand at a brightness that would not waken the portrait, and walked to the huge tapestry where the silly Barnabas tried to teach the troll to dance the ballet. The opposite wall was a white wall. .

"Walk through the wall three times and focus on what you need."

He is already familiar with the description of the Room of Requirement in the original book. Ivan lowered his wand, trying to let the light touch the ground as far as possible, and then walked slowly to the window at the end of the white wall and turned back. Walk to the person-high vase at the other end and turn back.

During this period, he silently said in his heart: "I need a place to hide things, I need a place to hide things..."

After turning around for the third time, a very smooth door appeared on the wall. Ivan stared at it for a while, and finally suppressed the idea of ​​"do you want to try it again, it feels amazing", stepped forward and held it. He pulled the brass handle, opened the door and walked in.

This is the first time for Ivan to enter this mysterious room—he is now in a huge room like a church, and the items hidden by Hogwarts students or professors of all ages have been piled up to form a city with high walls. Wan saw thousands of books, no doubt banned, defaced or stolen.

A few dirty winged slingshots and wolf-toothed flying saucers were hovering feebly over the mountains of forbidden objects; some broken bottles contained solidified potions. Ivan didn't dare to sniff them, but he could It must be from these bottles that the stifling smell in the house comes.

After passing several rusty swords and a blood-stained axe, Ivan saw an alley cut off by forbidden objects. He stood in the alley and hesitated for a moment.

‘Do you want to just wait here for Dumbledore to come over? '

This idea swirled in his mind, and was thrown somewhere in an instant, and then the speculation that "Paracelsus may have hidden something here" surged up, and Ivan immediately stopped.

"Forget it, it's better not to go in, in case you encounter some trap..."

After making up his mind, Ivan quickly left the alley and started wandering around the entrance instead.

The time when the Room of Requirement appeared in Hogwarts Castle is an unsolved mystery. In Ivan's memory, many people speculated that it was built by one of the four founders in the previous life, and some people believed that it was built by an outstanding The product of students, but the official has never given a real answer.

But no matter what other people guess, Ivan still can confirm one thing: the Room of Requirement has undoubtedly existed in Hogwarts for a long time, so long that it has almost no place to stay in the room dedicated to hiding things. .

This also means that there are many "contrabands" in a certain sense.

After carefully turning around the pile of books near the entrance twice, Ivan has already found many banned books on the list.

"Powerful Potion", "Toxic Magic", "Biological Alchemy", "Book of Secrets"... These books that have been discarded in the Room of Requirement for an unknown period of time, and have become tattered are all books whose names Ivan has only heard of. Banned books, some of which involve vicious black magic, and some even touch the level of "evil" and "horror".

For example, Ivan had inexplicable associations from the title of the book "Creation of Creatures", he only roughly flipped through two pages, and was successfully persuaded by those disgusting illustrations before he saw the part of casting spells up.

In addition, there are a few books that Ivan has never heard of. On the contrary, these books are relatively new, and the degree of wear and tear is very low. Terrified, I only read the beginning and hurriedly threw it into the Room of Requirement.

For this part of the books, Ivan himself has no interest. He already knows enough black magic. Even the 16-year-old Voldemort may not be able to catch up with his knowledge reserves in this area. s things.

He rummaged through the pile of books for a while, and finally found a well-preserved "Powerful Potion", which recorded many advanced potion formulas, including compound decoction and veritaserum, and boiled potions. The production method is one of the most valuable things in this room to Ivan for him.

As for another thing of value...

There is no doubt that it is the "Rowena Ravenclaw's Crown" that has been made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

If I remember correctly, the Horcrux was hidden somewhere in the Room of Requirement at this time.

Shall I find it? Ivan thought with some hesitation.

No, this is too obvious... Otherwise, find the crown first, then pretend not to recognize that it is a Horcrux and play it in your hand, and Dumbledore will definitely notice it when he comes... This seems a bit Deliberately.

How can I look like I just discovered it by accident?

While Ivan was thinking about countermeasures, with a soft sound of turning the handle, the door of the Room of Requirement opened.
