[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

One of Dorothy's feet was inside the door, and the other was left outside.She looked at the people who appeared in the Room of Requirement, and felt very entangled for a moment, not sure whether she should go in or not.

She even started to complain in her heart - what's going on, what she wanted was a room where no one would disturb her!Why is there someone else here? If there is, at least it proves that the other party agrees with her needs. Normally, after he made a wish not to be disturbed, he shouldn't be able to come in at all...

Is this just the legend, BUG?Does the Room of Requirement have the same glitch?Dorothy fell into a brief thought, the young man inside was still watching her with his red eyes, his gaze had a strange magic power, making people feel as if they were being seen through the thoughts and secrets in their hearts... This is not a A comfortable feeling.

There was a faint movement in the distance—from the end of the corridor on the eighth floor, someone's footsteps.Dorothy came to herself and realized that she had to make a decision at once, to get out or to go in.She turned her face slightly and raised her foot to step in the door.

The handsome young man with red eyes spoke at this moment, and said abruptly and calmly: "You don't want to go back to the college's common room right now to receive encouragement or comfort from others, and you don't want to talk about this matter with others right away. Well, you need a place where you can hide for a while, anywhere, as long as you don't go back, do you?"

Dorothy looked at him.

The distant voice gradually approached, she looked into his eyes, took a step forward, and stepped in with the other foot.

The door to the Room of Requirement closed behind her, and the hallway on the eighth floor returned to a smooth wall.Dorothy looked aside, and the Room of Requirement answered her request immediately, and a chair appeared.She sat down on the chair, separated a short distance from the strange young man, and took out her wand and held it in her hand.

"You know me?" she asked. "I haven't seen you in school."

The young man on the opposite side bent his lower lip: "Hogwarts has too many secrets. If you are only in your second year at Hogwarts, there are more unknown things waiting for you in this school." your quest."

"I don't think this includes you." Dorothy looked him up and down, and said objectively, "We just selected Hogwarts' most popular popularity list in the last issue of the school newspaper. Out of the top ten, my brother and cousin are ninth and tenth respectively, and by the way, my dad is number one in this issue - I'm fair to say you deserve a spot on it, at least A nomination, but I have never seen you mentioned in the review process. Whether you are a student, a professor, a ghost or other intelligent life, there will always be traces of your presence."

"School newspaper?" The young man on the opposite side asked back, and after a while, his red eyes narrowed slightly.

"I didn't expect so many new things to appear in such an old school as Hogwarts. It's really rare. As far as I know, it has always remained the same." He said leisurely, and there was no feeling of being exposed because of her words. Panic, "I've been in the Room of Requirement for too long, and I don't have a channel to pay attention to other things in the castle, so you just think I'm out of date."

Dorothy was startled when she heard that, and looked him up and down, frowning, her eyes full of inquiry.

"Can you read my mind?" she asked first, finding no denials, then added, "You've been in the Room of Requirement and never been out? So you're a ghost?"

The young man didn't respond positively to her question, he just reached out to her and held her wrist.

His fingertips passed through her wrist, and Dorothy shuddered uncontrollably, feeling as if her hands had been dipped in freezing water.

—he is unreal, insubstantial, unable to really hold her.

Dorothy put away her wand, and when she looked at him again, her vigilance faded a lot. After all, a ghost couldn't even touch herself, so it was obviously impossible to cause any more direct harm to herself.

"You are very different from other ghosts, they are translucent and float in the air. They don't have your clear hands and feet, and you look like a real person-I mean, you seem to have retained your life. Look, is this because you've been staying in the Room of Requirement? This room also answered your requests as a ghost? It's awesome."

Dorothy watched him with a much greater interest than before, and spoke with interest.She even temporarily let go of her frustration on the court just now. Diverting her attention is indeed a good way to quickly get out of one thing.

"I'm not sure." The disembodied young man on the opposite side answered her, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, and at this moment, he seemed to show a kind of handsome arrogance.

"Situations like mine should be relatively rare," he said.

Dorothy blinked uncertainly, and when she looked at him again, she felt that his expression was still patient and gentle. It seemed that because a person had been here for too long, his attitude when communicating with others was quite gentle and friendly.

"I think I should go back and call Papa tonight," said Dorothy thoughtfully, looking at him curiously. "Have you seen me before? I was here last year with my brother. What about my brother? He should have been here many times last year, and he said that this is a good place to read, and he can guarantee that he will not be disturbed."

"That blond-haired boy who looks very similar to you?" the young man asked, his scarlet eyes narrowed silently, "Yes, I have seen him, he will study some very esoteric issues when he comes here, According to my memory of the Hogwarts school rules, if the current school rules have not been greatly changed, he has violated at least twenty of them."

Startled, Dorothy jumped up from her chair: "What?! What the hell is he doing - he never told me! I thought he was just keen to watch something that the school doesn't let the students easily watch." Book!"

"He sometimes tries some dangerous experiments." The young man said leisurely, "After all, his curse is indeed a kind of unbearable torture, imprisoning a genius' ability to cast a curse is almost equivalent to breaking his leg. He He was supposed to be a favored son of heaven, which genius can endure his flaws caused by being cursed by life?"

"Curse?" Dorothy froze, for the first time she had heard such a word spoken.But then, as if she had been enlightened, she showed an expression of sudden realization, and couldn't help walking around the room.

"Yeah, that makes sense...I've never met a smarter man than Isaac! Dad said he didn't even have Isaac's talent when he was a kid! He can figure it out but I can't Everything - except casting spells! I have absolutely no idea why he would go wrong casting the simplest of spells, which shouldn't be too difficult for him... We just entered our first class at Hogwarts It is to learn the Transfiguration Charm, turning a match into a needle. Others have made no progress at most, but his match flew out and pierced Kevin Ellis' palm. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he might have pierced To the artery, it was a tragedy... Although Madam Pomfrey cured Ellis quickly, but, there was no reason for Isaac to do this kind of accident, but the spell he cast could not always Showing normal effects, all will become extremely malicious and aggressive... He can't perform magic in class after one month of enrollment, for the safety of other students. I've been wondering what happened to him, Even Dad can't solve it, so it's a curse? What kind of curse, who cast it?!"

Her voice rose, genuine anger at her brother's curse.The young man watched her angrily pace around the room, and finally turned her head hard, staring at him fiercely, her eyes shining with anger.

"Who put the curse on?" she asked, taking a deep breath of rage. "It's—so bad! It's so bad!"

The young man raised the corner of his lower lip because of her poor vocabulary on the level of swearing.He said with a rather innocent look on his face, "I'm just a ghost who's been in the Room of Requirement for a long time, Dorothy."

"Don't always read my mind. When you meet humans, you should use words to communicate with them." Dorothy said with a straight face, "If you want to know how to address me, you can ask me directly. So what's your name? How should I address you as?"

The young man stared at her for a few seconds, Dorothy quickly understood what he was doing, and frowned unhappily: "Hey!"

The scarlet eyes suddenly froze, and the act of staring at her was interrupted.He froze for a moment, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and smiled more warmly and harmlessly.

"Tom, just call me Tom," he said, smiling. "You know Occlumency? That's amazing."

"What?" Dorothy was stunned for a moment, feeling at a loss, "No, I won't, although I have good grades, but unlike Isaac, I am not very keen on learning superclass content. Occlumency? Sounds like a Deep magic."

The young man in front of him—Tom—showed a thoughtful expression and nodded.

"That has something to do with the unicorn breath on you," he said. "You are a lucky girl, Dorothy, and you have been blessed with a unicorn, the purest blessing you can achieve with your life... your The body can resist all evil attacks, this is a gift from the purest creature in the world. It suppresses the curse on you to a certain extent, which is really amazing."

"I also have a curse?" Dorothy was taken aback. She had suffered too many shocks today, which made her feel a little unacceptable. "I have no problem casting spells—I also have a curse? How do you know? By the way, since you Met Isaac before, did you talk to him too? He never mentioned you to me."

Tom said lightly, "Maybe he didn't think it was necessary? He didn't tell you he was breaking the school rules, did he?"

Dorothy looked at him, paused for two seconds, and frowned.

"No, you never talked to Isaac at all." She frowned, with distrust and vigilance in her eyes.She looked at him carefully again, and took a step back.

"What are you doing, sowing discord between me and my brother?" She frowned and said, feeling unbelievable, "We are twin siblings! Maybe he won't say things that he thinks have nothing to do with others, but you are not in this range Tom, I'll tell him what I saw when I met you, and I'm sure he'll tell me too—at least if he knew you, he wouldn't let me come here alone today, your habit of reading people's minds is particularly annoying .”

The calm expression on Tom's face was slightly restrained. Obviously, he didn't realize how deep the relationship between the brother and sister was from reading his mind.

"Well, I really haven't talked to him." Tom said calmly. "Your brother is not like you. He is too conceited to accept the suggestion of a ghost who appears rashly, even if the suggestion of this ghost is very worthwhile. Listen. But I think you have the patience to listen, Dorothy, about the curse about you two, the mark on your arms."

Startled, Dorothy subconsciously glanced at her left arm.The ghost named Tom continued, his tone did not fluctuate, and he said calmly: "This is a price-it has something to do with the family member who lives in your house and does not belong to your family. Everyone calls him the savior, right? But all he brings to you is curse and disaster, that... Harry Potter."
