In the early morning, dolphins
In a great mood Vincent led his friends to the Seventh Floor of the castle.
"The legend of the Room of Requirement is true, and I've figured out how to get in."
Fred and George stared at each other in shock.
Before they had a map of the area, the two of them were always very careful during their nighttime outings.
But no matter how careful you are, there will always be a time when you are discovered.
One night, Filch chased them like a mad dog, running around the castle several times but couldn't shake them off.
The twins' tactics weren't as sophisticated back then. Just when they were about to be caught, a wall suddenly clicked open and turned into a door. (Pig)
No matter what room it is, let's hide inside first.
When the footsteps outside subsided, they realized that they had hidden in a broom shed.
Hogwarts Castle has too many rooms that require specific methods to open, but having just gotten rid of Filch, it was clearly not a good time to stay for long.
Fred and George were filled with regret after their initial shock.
"No! I told you we should try a few more times..."
They did go back to the Seventh Floor to try and figure out how to make the door appear, but unfortunately, there was no movement for several days.
The castle is so big, and there's more than one hidden room. (Pig)
If the twins had realized at the time that this was the legendary Room of Requirement, they certainly wouldn't have given up so easily.
Seeing the two of them huddled together on a tapestry, sobbing uncontrollably, everyone could understand how heartbreaking it was.
The legendary Room of Requirement, its mystery rivals Room of Requirement of the Chamber of Secrets.
Not being able to participate in cracking it is a lifelong regret for the twins.
Cedric stepped forward to comfort them, "Don't cry, some things are destined."
His words of comfort were very effective.
Fred and George wiped away their tears and simultaneously looked at Vincent, as if by unspoken agreement.
If you don't even take night tours seriously, how can you expect to get this achievement point?
Vincent felt uneasy under his gaze. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"It's all your fault!" The twins pounced on them.
The result was, of course, that they came up empty-handed, but the two were not discouraged at all.
Seeing them run further and further away, the remaining few looked at each other helplessly.
Hermione pointed to the wall opposite the tapestry. "How about... we go inside and take a look?"
Daphne squinted. "You know the method?"
"Um— Vincent did take me inside."
To be precise, I had nothing to do some time ago, so I spent "one night" successfully cracking the method to get in and out.
There are two conditions in total:
Focus your mind and imagine the place you need to go;
I passed by this wall three times.
Feeling a little guilty, Hermione demonstrated it once, and sure enough, a door appeared on the wall.
She turned the handle. "That's it, simple, right?"
On the other side of the door was a room filled with bookshelves, the books on them all quite old.
Astoria entered the room and ran around like a curious child.
It's very large inside, comparable to a library on the second floor.
"Merlin!" Cedric's eyes were dazzled by the sight.
Almost all of them were either not available in the library or were already out of print.
Daphne was also surprised.
The collection far surpasses that of the Greengrass Manor; in terms of quantity, it is a complete victory. (Pig)
As for the quality...
It would take ten days to half a month to make a list, and it would probably take ten or twenty years to read it all.
Even Rolf, who is usually only interested in Fantastic Beasts, showed curiosity, asking, "Is it really true that your wish can be granted here?"
Hermione shook her head. "Actually, the things here were all put in by former students, and since there are living things inside, the doors on the wall won't disappear."
Rolf looked somewhat disappointed.
It's similar to a storage room in a dungeon filled with junk, except the Room of Requirement contains relatively valuable items.
For example, a love letter hidden in the cracks of a shelf in the Potions room, or several tattered wizard robes in the training room.
As they continued to enter the next new room waiting to be explored, Vincent and the three twins hurriedly ran back to the Seventh Floor.
The commotion was quite loud, and Filch and Mrs. Norris were chasing after them.
The three of them took down the tapestry, hung it on the open door opposite, and then went inside.
This was an empty room with nothing in it, and the group of people were discussing moving some things in.
The three, panting, closed the door and simultaneously made a shushing gesture.
"You little bastards! You can't get away!"
Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, Filch's shouts could be heard outside. (Pig)
Once the noise subsided, the three of them joined the discussion.
"This room is so big, of course we have to turn it into our secret base!"
Fred and George returned to their usual carefree and playful selves.
They suggested placing a round table in the very center so that any major operations could be discussed there.
"What major operation?"
"Of course, it's about looting Bat Cave and such!"
Everyone raised their hands to cover their faces. Astoria looked left and right, then raised her little hands and covered her face as well.
They've almost reached platinum achievement by looting the Bat Cave, but only Fred and George are still having a blast.
"I searched for it last semester, and the semester before that, so I can't just skip it this semester, can I?"
That makes sense.
Astoria asked softly, "Sister, are there bats inside the castle?"
Of course there are, and there's more than one.
Seeing everyone suppressing their laughter as they stared at Vincent, the naive Astoria seemed to understand something.
What a tragedy! The Little White flower has been stained black. (Pig)
Amidst laughter and cheers, the evening's tour came to a successful conclusion.
However, the real night tour has only just begun.
The Suanni Patronus Dementors. If it hadn't been scared by the distant howls of wolves, it should have finished studying for the next semester's courses.
With the first Quidditch Match approaching, the Demon Instructor Wood even took up his evenings.
Vincent didn't care, but the team members had a lot to say.
Especially Harry.
As a master of the complete Gwent card game, how could I possibly miss the second annual Gwent tournament at Hogwarts after Christmas?
"Take a 5-minute break!"
The team members were so exhausted that they jumped off their brooms and lay down directly on the soft grass.
Even Vincent was in the best physical condition, was panting heavily.
Wood is inhuman; he actually designed a training plan specifically for him that was practically impossible to complete.
Weighted flight, obstacle course traversal, dodging curses, high-difficulty throws... Pig
Anticipating all possible scenarios, we can unleash the potential of every individual.
"Here, take this." Wood tossed them towels and water.
Exhausted, Harry straightened up and dodged the water bottle that nearly hit him on the head.
Compared to Fred and George, he was lucky.
Wood seemed to have a grudge against them, dodging one and losing the other.
Is this how you get treated for being 10 minutes late?
Harry shivered and quickly drank some water to calm himself. (Pig)
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he always felt like something was watching him.
It shouldn't have come from the stands, but from the sidelines of the stadium below.
They're probably just students who're bored and watching their training.
