The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 242: Books in the Room of Requests

The Room of Requirement, or the Room of Coming and Going, is a magical room that appears and disappears only when a person really needs it. Whenever it appears, it is always decorated to meet the needs of the person who needs it.

I have everything you want, and the Room of Requirement is exactly what love looks like.

No one knows when the Room of Requirement first appeared, or who built it. It has always been there, waiting for those who need help.

Whether you see it or not, it is there, neither sad nor happy; whether you think about it or not, it is there, neither coming nor going... I can’t think about it anymore, the Room of Requests is increasingly filled with the sour smell of love.

In the room, Ada's fingers gently brushed the spines of the books on the bookshelf. There were many books here, some of which she had never heard of. She randomly picked a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it. In addition to recording methods to resist black magic, it also wrote some methods of using black magic, which seemed to be quite unprepossessing.

With a click, George, who was the last one to come, locked the door.

Everyone is very satisfied with the Room of Requirement. It has everything they need and they will no longer be disturbed by the annoying Filch and Lockhart. It is perfect!

The activities that had been interrupted for a long time resumed at dawn. Everyone devoted themselves to the practice with full enthusiasm. Spells of various colors flew around the room, and the shouts made the room very lively.

Enthusiasm is good, but excessive enthusiasm is not good, it will make people overexcited. Everyone's excitement was written on their faces, and this excitement made their movements unconsciously larger, and the accuracy of their spells also decreased.

Why do books like "Standard Spells" exist? They exist to standardize the movements and intonations of beginners to ensure that they can cast spells accurately.

This kind of standardization is of great help to wizards when they are just starting out or are not proficient in magic. As their understanding of magic deepens and their magical attainments continue to improve, this kind of standardization will not be so important.

You can cast spells silently, and your wand swings no longer have to be the same old motion.

Only after you have established your footing can you learn to walk; only after you have learned to walk can you learn to run. The children who are still in the toddler stage are unable to regulate their movements, and the consequence is that the spell begins to get out of control.

The spell flew around the room, the cushions on the floor flew around, and the books on the bookshelf flew off the shelf and hit the crowd. Ada, who was going around in circles to correct everyone's movements, had to be careful. She didn't want to be hit on the head by a book that was thick enough to be used as a pillow.

Happy times are always short-lived. When curfew is over, everyone has no choice but to return to the common room in disappointment.

From this day on, Dawn resumed its activities, and everyone would come to the Room of Requirement from time to time to practice and learn some new magical knowledge.

Dawn also welcomed its ninth member, Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff, one evening in late January.

Gryffindor had some courses with Hufflepuff, and Ada and Cedric chose ancient runes at the same time. After a long time of contact, Ada found that Cedric was a friend worth making, he was loyal, brave, honest and kind.

So after the ancient runes class, Ada invited Cedric, and Cedric readily agreed.

With the addition of Cedric, who is a school idol, Dawn has gained new vitality, and the girls led by Angelina have become more serious when practicing.

Human beings are always full of longing for beautiful things, no matter they are adults or human cubs. For girls, Cedric is that beautiful thing.

The twins didn't mind Cedric's joining them. They all lived in St. Catchpole Village and had known each other for a long time, but because of their personalities they just couldn't get along well.

Lee Jordan's reaction was quite big. The sunny and handsome Cedric was a big shock to him.

In order to show himself in front of Angelina, Lee Jordan also put away his previous lazy attitude and became diligent, hoping to surpass Cedric, the pretty boy. The thriving Dawn is getting better and better, and the strength of the friends is also steadily improving. During the Room of Requirement activities, everyone's laughter can always be heard. Ada's face is smiling more and more, and she has become a lot softer.

Time passed quickly and it was February. After staying in the hospital for a month, Hermione returned to normal. She no longer had whiskers or tails, and she turned from a cat girl back into Miss Beaver.

The attacks from the secret room had not happened for a long time, and the atmosphere in the school was improving. There were more and more students in the corridors. But on February 14, the atmosphere in the school took a sharp turn for the worse.

It was Valentine's Day, and no attack occurred, but something more annoying than an attack occurred. In the morning, when students entered the auditorium, they saw large, dazzling pink flowers on all four walls, and everyone was disgusted by these flowers.

That’s not all, there are also many heart-shaped confetti falling from the light blue ceiling. These confetti will land on you, your plate, and even your porridge (soup) bowl.

The culprit was the pink-dressed Lockhart sitting in the teacher's seat, the annoying Lockhart.

Looking at the greasy Lockhart, Ada suddenly remembered what Uncle Si said: "Pink and tender, how old are you now?"

Ada wanted to tell Lockhart this sentence exactly as it was. Although the fourth uncle was somewhat ungrateful, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Actually, Lockhart is less than 1964 years old and still a young man, but he looks so greasy that it is hard to believe that he was born in 1944. Some people would believe that he was born in .

Lockhart even announced that he had received cards from forty-six people, and at the same time, through the doors leading into the entrance hall, twelve sullen-looking dwarfs strode, all arranged by Lockhart.

According to reliable gossip (Professor McGonagall), when Lockhart was a student, in order to highlight his unique charm, he once wrote many love letters to himself on Valentine's Day, and the stationery and content of each love letter were different.

Such writing style is worthy of someone who can write best-selling novels, Rui Sibai!

All day long, the dwarfs kept breaking into their classroom, delivering Valentine's Day cards, which annoyed the teachers.

Ada was also annoyed by the dwarfs. She always saw them in the corridor, was stopped by them, and had to listen to their disgusting messages.

The reversal at the end of last semester made Ada gain a lot of benefits. This semester, she didn't have any explosive performance, and the sense of crisis created by the secret room made Ada look more fragile, making people want to protect her.

These people have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and they chose to give Ada some encouragement today. And those once brave and fearless admirers have also revived this year, and there are even girls among these messages!

Crazy! Ada felt that the world was crazy. It must be that she got up in the wrong way this morning, otherwise why would Hogwarts become like this?
This day did not bring Ada pink memories, but more like a nightmare. Her jaw muscles became stronger because of this bad day, and she should be able to bite the rock cake now.

If the twins hadn't risked their lives to stop Ada, probably only one of her and Lockhart would be able to see the sun tomorrow.

In order to avoid these annoying messages, Ida had to hide in the Room of Requirement. The dwarves who couldn't find the real owner had to give up and turn around to deliver the message to the next target.

Ada, who was hiding in the Room of Requirement, was not doing nothing. She was rummaging through the bookshelf in the room, trying to find a book of interest to pass the time.

It didn't matter that Ada found the content about the secret room in these books. With the book found, the haze that had enveloped Ada for the day was swept away.

Ada sat down cross-legged and began to read the book "The Origin of Gaunt" carefully.
