Room of Requirement

On the Seventh Floor of Hogwarts, opposite the Tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy Teaching Trolls Ballet, a figure appeared out of thin air. Yet his sudden appearance was so natural, as if he had been there all along, but no one had noticed him.

Strangely, even though this figure had appeared, Troll worm-eaten troll on the giant tapestry depicting Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach Troll ballet, and the ballet teacher being beaten by it, did not see this figure.

It was as if he were a phantom, a person who didn't exist.

Suddenly, a round, black shadow darted out from the figure dressed in a black robe with gold thread.

This was a perfectly plump black cat. It meowed and paced back and forth in front of the blank wall. After about three rounds, a door appeared in front of it.

"Very good, it seems that the Room of Requirement can also sense the cat's needs." Ryan stretched out his left hand, and the fat cat jumped into his arms.

He reached out and grasped the brass handle, pulled open the door, and a room the size of a cathedral appeared before Ryan.

Even though Ryan already knew that the Room of Requirement could conjure up a large storage space, he was still surprised for a moment.

It was definitely worth Ryan's patience all this time, for not trying to make the Room of Requirement reveal a place to hide things.

This place is so big that it's practically a walled city made up of items that Hogwarts people have hidden inside over the generations.

The accumulation over thousands of years has resulted in an astonishing amount of stuff here, so much so that even the entire Hogwarts castle cannot contain it all.

Everything here is like a treasure trove. Ryan suddenly regretted that if he had come here sooner, he might not have needed to write a book or start Potions workshop.

Let's set aside for now the possibility that the broken furniture was stuffed here to conceal evidence of accidental magic, or that it was hidden by the House-elf maintained the castle's dignity, creating streets and alleys.

The sheer value of these thousands upon thousands of books, which are undoubtedly banned, vandalized, or stolen, is immense.

Magic Book are very valuable, and these hidden books are probably even more valuable.

Moreover, not far away there was a mountain of forbidden objects, most of which were still somewhat effective. Several winged slingshots and Fanged Frisbee were still hovering listlessly over the mountain of forbidden objects.

In Harry's original timeline, they might have just been junk, no different from that pile of broken furniture.

But in the eyes of Ryan, the Alchemy, they could all be refurbished or dismantled into valuable raw materials.

Not to mention things that are clearly treasures—raw materials such as the eggshells of extinct dragons; jewelry; hats and jewelry imbued with strange magic or made from precious raw materials; weapons that look like they are made of extraordinary materials; rare Potions that still gleam with an evil light after hundreds of years; and the results of forbidden experiments that are halfway completed or already completed.

"Damn Crabbe!" Ryan couldn't help but hiss in a low voice, his voice filled with heartache.

Even if all of this hasn't happened yet, it can never happen again.

In the original timeline, these precious tangible and intangible assets simply vanished—because of Crabbe's Fiendfyre.

Even from Ryan's current perspective, some of them are useful resources.

However, Ryan's recollection of the Room of Requirement's eventual destruction also allowed Ryan to understand what constituted good things.

Around them, the last few items that hadn't been destroyed by the flames were joyfully tossed into the air by the evil fire monsters: a cup, a shield, a glittering necklace, and an old, faded crown. These last things to be burned were undoubtedly valuable.

It's a piece of stuff that can be compared to Voldemort's Horcrux, a level 6 Demigod Wizard Horcrux.

However, before searching for these good things, Ryan needs to find one thing first: Ravenclaw's Diadem, which is Voldemort's Horcrux.

This Horcrux was hastily hidden by Voldemort when he returned to Hogwarts for a job many years later.

This led to the fact that Voldemort, in this part of the diary, was unaware that the Horcrux was at Hogwarts.

Finding it was actually a very simple thing for Ryan.

You can use your senses to perceive the entire space, or you can have Jerry, the Horcrux of Horcruxes, directly smell its location.

But that would be boring, so Ryan decided to rely on his memory of the passage about Harry hiding the Half-Blood Prince to find him.

"Let me think. It's a small alleyway directly opposite the entrance. After entering, turn right and there's a Troll specimen. Keep going forward and you'll find the precious but damaged Vanishing Cabinet. Turn left again here and you'll come to a series of large cabinets with bubbly surfaces, as if they've been splashed with strong acid."

"Is this it?" Ryan muttered to himself, using the Troll specimen as a guide to find the alley and even the cabinet.

Ryan opened the creaking cabinet door, inside which was hidden a cage containing a dead Quintaped.

"It's disgusting. If you can't afford a pet, don't get one," Ryan couldn't help but complain.

It was clearly forgotten by its owner and eventually starved to death.

What's even more ridiculous is that the Quintaped are actually a species formed by a cursed wizard.

However, this also means that Ryan did not make a mistake.

Sure enough, next to the crates was a tattered half-body statue of an ugly old wizard, with a dusty old wig and a rusty Ravenclaw's Diadem not far away.

"That's it?" Ryan was greatly disappointed.

That's too easy.

Ryan couldn't understand why the protagonists in those fanfiction novels from his past life, who had photographic memories, couldn't find a Ravenclaw's Diadem.

Its location is clearly stated.

Moreover, the Ravenclaw's Diadem itself won't run away.

Entering again from behind Harry, the surrounding layout remained unchanged, and upon finding the Ravenclaw's Diadem again, it was clear that the hiding place would not have changed either.

According to Ryan, the longer something has been in the room, the further back it is placed.

"Jerry, let's eat," Ryan said boredly.

The Horcrux represented by this Ravenclaw's Diadem, or rather all Horcrux, requires you to actually touch it for it to affect you, and this takes a relatively long time.

It doesn't actually have much external influence.

Therefore, with Jerry, its natural enemy, approaching, the Ravenclaw's Diadem only trembled slightly a few times.

As Jerry licked it, the soul fragment disappeared, and Ravenclaw's Diadem returned to its original state—crystal clear and as white as jade.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jerry in his hand felt a little heavier.

Ryan then released his senses—a cup, a shield, and a glittering necklace appeared in his hands.

"Jack!" Ryan waved his hand, and a gray membrane appeared in front of Ryan. The House-elf Jack appeared respectfully before Ryan.

"Take these back to the castle first."
