Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

Puni waved his hand, and the crumpled paper flew over.

Puni picked up the note and gently unfolded it.

It turns out that the Weasley twins actually found the location of the Room of Requirement!

Puni felt a slight surge of joy, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He never expected that, after only one day away from Hogwarts, the mischievous twins would find the Room of Requirement.

That's really fast!

He glanced up at the Gryffindor table, gave the twins a "see you tonight" gesture, and the twins immediately understood and nodded secretly.

......

The long day passed in the blink of an eye, and Hogwarts Castle was gradually enveloped in night. Everything became quiet, except for the flickering torches in the corridors, illuminating the long passageways, and the occasional sound of Filch's patrolling footsteps.

Finally, curfew time arrived. Penny quietly slipped out of Ravenclaw's dormitory and, as agreed, went to the corner on the first floor of the castle. The Weasley twins had been waiting there for a long time, leaning against the wall with their faces full of barely suppressed excitement and pride.

"You two are pretty fast."

Puni stepped forward, his tone tinged with approval, "I was only gone for a day, and you actually found the Room of Requirement. It was worth the hints I gave you before."

Hearing Penny's praise, George immediately straightened his back, his face full of pride, and said smugly, "Of course! There's no corner of Hogwarts that we Weasley twins can't find. This little thing is no challenge for us at all."

Fred immediately chimed in, deliberately adopting a mysterious air, and mimicking the old professor's tone, slowly saying, "That's right, if you ever encounter anything you can't find at Hogwarts, feel free to ask us, the Hogwarts Know-It-All, we're always at your service!" As he spoke, he made an exaggerated bowing gesture towards Puni, making Puni burst into laughter.

It's clear that the two were genuinely delighted to have found the Room of Requirement. After all, it's one of the most mysterious places at Hogwarts, and finding it is undoubtedly something to be proud of.

Puni waved his hand with a smile, deliberately pouring cold water on the idea: "Alright, alright, stop bragging here. If you're so capable, find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets too, that would be truly impressive."

"Slytherin's..."

"A secret room?"

The smug smiles on the twins' faces froze instantly, and they exchanged a glance.

George spoke first, asking, "What place is that? We've never heard of it before."

Fred frowned as well, adding curiously, "Could it be a secret room hiding some treasure? Or perhaps, some powerful magical artifact?"

Seeing their puzzled looks, Puni deliberately lowered his voice and slowly said, "That's right, it's Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. It's a secret space left in the castle by Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts."

"It is said that a huge monster, extremely ferocious and deadly, is kept in the secret chamber."

"Only when the true successor of Slytherin appears can the Chamber of Secrets be opened, and the power of that monster be used to completely eliminate all the wizards in Hogwarts whose blood is impure."

Puni deliberately emphasized his tone, trying to scare the mischievous twins. But to his surprise, the twins were not afraid at all. Instead, their eyes lit up and their faces showed even more excitement. They even pretended to be scared and exaggeratedly matched his tone.

"Really? That Salazars Slytherin, is he really that crazy?" George's eyes widened, and he said, feigning horror.

“Oh my god! Has he gone mad? He actually wants to eliminate wizards with impure blood?” Fred chimed in, but without fear. Instead, he asked curiously, “So, should we be glad we’re pure-blood wizards?”

Seeing the two of them making funny faces, Puni shook his head helplessly.

These twins are indeed not so easily frightened.

However, it cannot be denied that the Weasley family is indeed a pure-blood family. Their ancestors were one of the 28 holy pure-blood families, and their heritage... well, their heritage is profound.

Puni thought to himself, their mother, Moriup Whitwesley, now seemed to be just an ordinary housewife, spending her days with her family and children.

But in reality, she was born into the Pwitt family and was a pure-blood wizard.

The Black family had also married into the Pewter family in the past.

By some reckoning, the Weasley and Black families are distant relatives.

Perhaps, although the Weasley family does not deliberately emphasize pure-blood identity or exclude non-pure-blood wizards, they have been secretly maintaining the family's pure-blood lineage.

It is not necessary for all relatives to be pure-blooded; as long as one bloodline remains pure, that is enough, at least on the surface.

Although Penny described the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin as full of danger, the twins' curiosity and enthusiasm were instantly ignited when they learned that there were secrets in Hogwarts that they had never known before. They were eager to try and couldn't wait to find the Chamber of Secrets.

Puni saw through their thoughts and interrupted their reverie: "Alright, stop thinking about the secret room. The most important thing now is to take me to the Room of Requirement. We've finally found it, we can't let it interfere with our business."

The twins then came to their senses, smiled at each other, suppressed their curiosity, and nodded.

Fred patted Puni on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we've got your back. We'll take you there right away!" With that, the two of them headed towards the stairs, with Puni following closely behind.

George took the Marauder's Map out of his pocket, laid it flat in his palm, and gently tapped it. The little figures on the map immediately came to life, clearly showing the location of everyone in the castle.

Guided by the Marauder's Map, the three carefully navigated the corridors, avoiding Filch, who was patrolling and searching for students who had broken the rules, as well as his sharp-eyed cat, Mrs. Lorris, who was always by his side. They walked cautiously and quickly toward the eighth floor, afraid of being discovered and delaying their journey to the Room of Requirement.

George stopped first, pointed to the bare wall in front of them, and said confidently, "This is it. The secret room we found yesterday is behind this wall."

Fred nodded in agreement, adding, "We found it by chance. Speaking of which, we almost got caught by Filch yesterday while trying to find this place. Thinking about it now, we still feel a bit scared!"

Puni looked in the direction they were pointing. The wall was smooth and flat, without any gaps, door marks or decorations. It looked no different from the other walls in the corridor and did not look like it contained a secret room at all.

He gestured for the twins to recount their experiences from the previous day, and George began to speak at length.

“There are no secret passages on the eighth floor. When we first started searching, we didn’t think much of it and were focused on searching the corridor. We didn’t notice that Filch and Mrs. Lorris had already surrounded us from both ends of the corridor.”

George recalled the scene from yesterday, "By the time we realized what was happening, we were already surrounded from both sides. Filch was roaring in front of us, and Mrs. Lorris was screaming behind us. We were so anxious that we ran back and forth in the corridor, afraid that we would be caught and punished."

"Just when we were at our wits' end and about to be caught, the wall suddenly changed and a storage room appeared out of thin air. Without thinking, we rushed in and hid."

Fred picked up the thread, both relieved and regretful, "There was an old broom cabinet in that storage room. We thought we could find some flying brooms, but when we opened it, it was full of ordinary sweeping brooms. There wasn't even a trace of magic in them, so they couldn't fly at all. It was so disappointing."

“We didn’t think much of it at first, just assumed it was an ordinary storage room, a place in Hogwarts used to store miscellaneous items.”

George continued, "But when we hid in Filch and left, and came out of the storeroom and turned around, the storeroom had vanished into thin air, and the walls were back to their bare state, without a trace."

After listening, a look of understanding flashed in Puni's eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

It turns out that it was a coincidence that the twins were able to find the Room of Requirement.

This coincidence led them to the most mysterious room in Hogwarts. Thinking of this, Puni's mood became even more cheerful, and he couldn't help but say with a smug look, "So that's how it is, just a coincidence. But I like coincidences like this. Now that we've found the place, let's go in and take a look."

"Go in? Go in where?" Fred paused, looking puzzled.

“You mean, go into that storage room?” George frowned, looking reluctant. “I don’t want to go in there again. It’s full of dust and old junk, and those brooms that can’t fly. It’s not interesting to look at.”

The twins complained one after the other, clearly having left a bad impression on them from the shabby storage room yesterday, and their faces showed resistance at the thought of going back in.

Seeing their resistance, Puni shook his head helplessly and patiently explained to them, "You've misunderstood. This isn't an ordinary storage room. It's called the 'Requirement Room.' As the name suggests, it opens up the corresponding room based on the user's request."

“Yesterday you were being chased by Filch and desperately needed a place to hide, so this became a storage room to provide you with a place to hide.”

Puni paused, then continued, "What I want now is not a place to hide, but a room where I can hide things, or rather, a room where I can access what's hidden inside."

After saying that, Puni revealed a sly smile, waved to the twins, and gestured for them to follow him: "Come on, follow me, walk back and forth in front of this wall, and keep thinking 'I'm going to enter the room where the things are hidden.' Remember, you must concentrate and not get distracted."

As Fred followed Puni forward, he asked curiously, "A room for hiding things? Puni, what do you have to hide? You need such a mysterious room to hide it?"

"Could it be a love letter you received?" George joked, teasingly adding, "After all, you're so popular, there are probably quite a few girls who secretly write you love letters, and they're afraid of being seen by others, so they're trying to find a place to hide them."

Since becoming familiar with Puni, the twins have become increasingly unrestrained, daring to make any joke without any restraint.

Puni ignored their teasing and paced back and forth in front of the wall as he patiently explained, “I’m not trying to hide anything. On the contrary, I want to get what’s hidden inside. It’s something very important to me, and I suspect it’s hidden in the Room of Requirement.”

The three paced back and forth against the wall, silently repeating their desire to enter the hidden room, one step, two steps, three steps...

As they walked past the wall for the third time, a soft light suddenly emanated from it, not too bright.

Then, the walls began to slowly change, and a huge door gradually appeared on the originally smooth wall surface.

The door was exquisitely crafted, its surface polished to a spotless shine. The brass handles gleamed under the torchlight, giving it an imposing presence.

The twins stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at the suddenly appearing door. Fred couldn't help but mutter, "My God, this is completely different from the storage room door we saw yesterday. That door was just an ordinary wooden door, simple and dilapidated. It's nothing like this!"

George also came closer, examining the brass handle on the door with great surprise: "That's right, the storage room door we saw yesterday didn't even have a handle, it was just a simple wooden board. This door actually has a brass handle, it's so exquisite! Could it be that the Room of Requirement really changes its appearance according to people's wishes?"

Looking at the imposing door in front of him, Puni realized he had successfully opened the Room of Requirement, and what he was looking for was behind that door.

Penny, gripping the cold brass handle, couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing the twins' exclamations and complaints. "Alright, alright, stop complaining about the difference in doors. Come on in, and I'll show you the treasures that generations of students have secretly left behind at Hogwarts over the years. I guarantee these things are far more magnificent than the Weasley family's wealth stored in Gringotts."

As soon as he finished speaking, George frowned immediately: "Don't talk nonsense. Our family doesn't keep anything in Gringotts, so where would we get any valuables from?"

Fred nodded in agreement, adding with a self-deprecating laugh, "It's not just that I don't store anything anymore. Even if I had saved a little money before, it wouldn't have been enough to cover Gringotts' rent, so I gave up a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Puni's smile faded slightly.

He also knew about the Weasley family's situation. Although they were a pure-blood family, they were not wealthy, and could even be described as somewhat strapped for cash. They were very frugal with their daily expenses, let alone storing valuables in Gringotts.

Thinking of this, he stopped joking, gently turned the brass handle, and pushed open the magnificent door.

The door slowly opened, and a gust of old wind blew out. Puni stepped in first, then gestured for the twins to follow.

The Weasley twins exchanged a curious glance and quickly followed him inside. But as soon as they stepped into the room, they froze, their eyes widening in disbelief.

The scene inside the room far exceeded their expectations.

The space here is astonishingly large, far exceeding the visual range of the outside corridor. The overall layout presents a layout similar to a miniature city, and the spaciousness is comparable to Hogwarts Cathedral, with towering walls reaching the top and the end invisible.

The walls were not made of bricks and stones, but were made of thousands of items. These items were all kinds of things that students from all over the years had secretly hidden here, including tattered textbooks, broken wands, abandoned magical tools, and all sorts of strange and wonderful trinkets. They were piled up layer upon layer, like a mountain, and could not be seen at all.

Puni slowly came to his senses, his gaze sweeping around the room, becoming more and more amazed as he looked.

He even saw a complete set of tables and chairs and a simple bed in a corner not far away. There were several yellowed notebooks on the table and chairs, and the bed was covered with worn-out bedding, as if someone had lived there for a long time.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Did some students treat this 'Yes Room' like their own home before? They even furnished it with a full set of living utensils."

On the other side, the Weasley twins finally snapped out of their daze, their shock instantly replaced by ecstasy, and they were so excited they were almost going crazy.

They couldn't help but cheer, skipping and jumping around the room while touching the piles of items: "My God! This place is amazing! So many things, many of which we've never seen before!"

“No wonder Puni insisted on finding this place; it turns out there are so many treasures hidden here!” George picked up a strangely shaped metal box and shook it gently. “What is this thing? It looks very special.”

Fred ran to a pile of old wands, carefully picked one up, and tried waving it. Although there was no magical reaction, he still grinned from ear to ear: "Even if these wands can't be used, they're still fun to collect! We'll never have to worry about not having fun things to do again."

Seeing the two of them so excited they forgot themselves, Puni quickly reminded them, becoming serious: "You two slow down, don't run around, and don't touch anything here. This place is piled with the belongings of students from all over the world, and no one knows if there are any dark magic items hidden inside. If you accidentally touch something, it could easily be dangerous."

"Okay, okay!" The twins waved without turning their heads, ignoring Puni's reminder.

Puni wanted to give a few more instructions, but as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the twins had already run away and disappeared behind the mountain of items, leaving only a few indistinct words. He listened carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't make out what they said in the second half of their sentence.

Helpless, Puni could only shake his head and ignore the two overly excited twins.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his curiosity. Now that he had successfully entered the Room of Requirement, he couldn't waste any time; he had to find his goal as soon as possible.
