The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 249 The Room of Requirement and the Ravenclaw Library

Does the House of Requirement hold any secrets?

Hermione sorted out her thoughts.

Andy made a name for himself at Hogwarts with his improved Patronus Charm, and even gained great fame throughout the wizarding world.

A few young wizards, perhaps out of envy or for some other reason, wanted to know how Andy practiced magic on a daily basis.

So they secretly followed Andy to the eighth floor of the castle.

But Andy disappeared on the eighth floor.

Furthermore, Andy himself has stated that he usually checks the surrounding area before entering the Room of Requirement. Andy will only open the door to the Room of Requirement when he is certain that no outsiders are present.

Someone didn't want to give up, or perhaps they wanted to uncover Andy's secret, so they launched an investigation on the eighth floor—presumably after confirming that Andy wasn't on the eighth floor.

The conditions for opening the Room of Requirement may seem complicated, but they are actually not difficult to meet.

You only need to pass by there three times, thinking of the same request, and the door of the House of Requirement will open for you.

Someone discovered the House of Requirement.

He also discovered a secret there.

Justin Finley also discovered the secret, so he was attacked.

This explains why Justin, a second-year Hufflepuff wizard, would come to the eighth floor of the castle alone on Sundays when he had no classes.

Hufflepuff's bedroom is in the basement, and there's nothing to do on the eighth floor of the castle.

"Unless Justin wanted to go to the Astronomy Tower for the view, then... that's the real reason he was attacked."

Hermione analyzed, "However, we must know what kind of magic Justin was attacked with. The killer, wanting to keep the secret, probably wouldn't use ordinary spells."

Andy nodded. That makes sense.

Hermione continued, "And... Andy, you need to be careful lately. If the killer targets the Room of Requirement, then you'll be his target too."

Andy: What? Someone's going to attack me again?

Although Hermione said that, she wasn't as paranoid as she was last year, only feeling that Andy's life was in danger at any moment.

The little witch knew Andy's strength very well. Given the magical abilities of those young wizards, they were no match for Andy at all—even if he attacked from behind, the outcome would not change.

As long as Andy is careful.

"Okay! I'll be careful." Andy had a bit of a headache.

Hogwarts is dangerous; every year someone tries to attack me.

What should I do? I need help urgently, I'm waiting online.

"Andy, I think we should tell the professor about this." Hermione looked at Andy seriously.

"OK! No problem." Andy had no objections.

"Huh?"

Hermione exclaimed in surprise, "You actually agreed? Andy, are you under the Imperius Curse?"

Andy rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Of course I should tell the professor about this. I didn't want to tell him before because it wasn't necessary, but this is different."

"Given the intelligence of those professors, even if we don't tell them the location of the Room of Requirement, they might not be able to find it even in ten years."

Just like the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin.

The person died at the entrance to the secret room, but they still couldn't find the location of the secret room.

What else could Andy say?

"A megalomaniac!" Hermione exclaimed.

Andy spread his hands, giving me a "go ahead and hit me" look.

Hermione scoffed, "Since you're so capable, then guess what secrets the Room of Requirement holds that would make a murderer attack Justin?"

Well this...

"Hermione, who do you think made the Room of Requirement?" Andy countered.

Hermione said smugly, "I've thought about this for a while now. The style of the Room of Requirement is very similar to the staircase in the castle, and Ravenclaw represents knowledge and wisdom."

"So... the person who built the Room of Requirement was very likely Mrs. Rowena Ravenclaw. She was a wise and creative witch."

Andy nodded. "That's what I think too."

Hermione realized what was happening. "Andy, do you think the Room of Requirement and this library... are connected?"

Andy shrugged and said, "That's just my guess."

Hermione quickly looked around.

But this place looks like an ordinary library, with nothing unusual about it.

"The Room of Requirement is on the eighth floor of the castle, and although Ravenclaw's bedroom is in the tower, it is also on the eighth floor."

Hermione looked at Andy with delight. "Andy, we might have discovered Ravenclaw's secret!"

Andy said calmly, "This secret doesn't seem worth the murderer attacking Justin."

"That's just what we think."

Hermione disagreed, saying, "In our Muggle world, there's a term called 'crime of passion.'"

"Think about it, if you discovered a great secret, but someone else also discovered the same secret at the same time, wouldn't you impulsively attack them?"

Andy felt a little guilty.

If this secret is of great importance, then I really will attack the other party, or even kill them.

"Of course not!" Andy replied without changing his expression.

"That's just you, but others are different." The little witch was very innocent.

In Hermione's eyes, although Andy was sometimes unreliable, he was not a bad person—in Hermione's view, Andy was a pure wizard whose eyes were only on magic.

That makes sense.

Andy agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "That's a plausible reason."

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems we just need to keep following this lead."

"ha--"

Andy stretched. "Alright, it's getting late, and tomorrow's Monday... Hermione, we should go to sleep."

Hermione was greatly surprised. "You can actually sleep!"

Andy: "?"

Am I not even allowed to sleep now?

Hermione pointed out, "We may have discovered a Ravenclaw secret. This library... might be connected to the Room of Requirement."

The little witch looked at Andy with an expression that seemed to say: Aren't you going to investigate?

"What's the rush?"

Andy calmly said, "Secrets don't grow legs and run away on their own. Now that we have some clues, we can investigate them slowly later."

"Okay! We really should go to sleep." Hermione had to admit that Andy was right.

Although this is very unlike Andy's style.

The secret of Ravenclaw?

The legend about this library is nothing more than that someone read through all the books in one night.

It sounds magical at first glance, but the books here are mostly leisure books like poetry and prose, and there are only a few books about magic.

Andy had already seen it.

Unlike Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, which is full of dry goods.

Back to the dorm, time to sleep!
