Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the image of the relic that carried Ravenclaw's wisdom and power appeared in his mind. He gathered a wisp of divine power at his fingertips and used it to sense the magical fluctuations around him.

His purpose in coming here was not these messy relics, but the sacred relic belonging to Ravenclaw, hidden in a corner of the Room of Requirement: the Ravenclaw tiara.

A moment later, Puni opened his eyes.

He could vaguely sense that the aura of the crown was hidden deep within this room.

He straightened his clothes, took a step, and walked deeper into the room, keeping an eye out for any dark magic items around him, while also focusing on sensing the crown's aura.

As Puni strolled slowly through the Room of Requirement, his gaze swept over the mountains of items piled up around him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

This room, filled with countless items, is not only overwhelmingly large, but also feels like an abandoned magical treasure trove with no end in sight.

He stopped, raised his hand to touch his chin, and began to ponder.

Perhaps it is because there are too many items piled up that the room appears so empty?

Since the founding of Hogwarts, countless students have stumbled upon its secrets and secretly hidden things they wanted to conceal, including forbidden items they didn't want their teachers to find, private items they didn't want their classmates to see, and various old things they no longer needed but couldn't bear to throw away.

Even so, the number of items in front of him far exceeded his expectations; it was ridiculously large.

Puni couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "With so many things, finding the Ravenclaw crown is like finding a needle in a haystack. Looks like we're in for a busy day."

He complained, but his steps didn't stop. His eyes continued to search carefully among the messy items, not letting go of any corner. This wasn't just talk; it was his truest feeling at the moment. In such a large room with such a chaotic mess, finding a small crown was incredibly difficult.

He bent down and rummaged through the piled-up boxes, brushing the dust off the items with his hand. His eyes were fixed on the exquisitely crafted props that looked like treasures, especially those crown-like items, which he paid particular attention to.

Ravenclaw's crown has a unique design and may be hidden in some secluded corner, or it may be placed in a prominent place, just covered by other objects.

Unlike Penny's focused seriousness, the Weasley twins, who had entered the Room of Requirement together, had completely let loose and were having a great time in the huge room.

Joyful shouts and laughter echoed from all directions.

"Wow! This is so much fun!"

"Hahaha! This place is simply paradise!"

Hearing the sound, Puni looked up and saw two figures fly quickly overhead, creating a gust of wind. He couldn't even see what they were holding; he only felt something flash by.

The next second, George and Fred flew back again, hovering not far above Puni's head, their faces full of excited smiles.

Chapter 61 Who hid the exam paper here?

George shouted at Puni, "Puni, stop looking and come play with us! Look how big this room is, spacious and flat, it's perfect for Quidditch training, even more comfortable than the pitch!"

Puni looked up at them and realized that both of them were riding on old brooms. The brooms looked a bit old-fashioned and not the latest model. The workmanship was also relatively simple, but they were well maintained and had no obvious damage. They flew very smoothly.

Goodness, they have this too.

Although these brooms are of a relatively primitive design and their performance is certainly not as good as newer products, it is quite remarkable that they have been preserved in such good condition.

Perhaps this Room of Requirement itself contains special magic that can slow down the decay of the items inside, allowing these brooms, which have been stored for many years, to still be usable.

Puni didn't stop what he was doing. He continued rummaging through the items while occasionally glancing up at the playful twins, a helpless smile on his face.

Just then, his hand accidentally touched a thin paper package. When he opened it, he found several exam papers inside. The handwriting on the exam papers was from the same person, and the papers were somewhat messy. The scores on them were even more shocking. Every subject had the lowest grade, comparable to the lowest grade "troll" in the magic world. In other words, this person's grades were extremely bad.

Puni picked up the exam paper and looked at the name on it carefully. It was both unfamiliar and familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

However, an image involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Many years ago, a senior student from Hogwarts, clutching these failing exam papers tightly in his hands, looked flustered and frowned. He paced back and forth in the castle, anxiously wondering where he could hide these exam papers so that they wouldn't be discovered by his teachers and parents.

He was anxious, fearing that if his test paper was found, he would face criticism from his teacher and reprimand from his parents.

Just when he was at his wit's end and about to despair, he accidentally triggered the magic of the Room of Requirement. A hidden door slowly opened in front of him, and inside were all sorts of things that students from previous generations had hidden away.

Kopni couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought about what would happen next.

He secretly thought to himself that the senior student probably never expected that even after all his efforts to hide the exam paper, he still couldn't escape the parents' questioning.

Why do you need to look at the exam paper to know your grades?

Parents could easily find out their child's true grades by simply writing a letter and having an owl deliver it to the professor; hiding the exam paper would be futile.

Thinking this, the image of the senior student receiving the yelling message from his mother, his panicked and helpless state, seemed to be right before his eyes, vivid and real. Puni shook his head, gently put the exam paper back in its place, and refocused his attention to continue searching for the Ravenclaw crown.

Although they successfully found the Room of Requirement and no longer had to hide and search throughout the castle as before, the time spent searching for things at night was not reduced in the slightest.

After all, the room was too big and the items inside were too cluttered, so finding even a small crown would still require a lot of time and effort.

However, compared to before, the search is now much easier. They can stay in the Room of Requirement without constantly worrying about being discovered by Filch and Mrs. Lorris, and they don't have to rush through the search during patrols. They can calm down and search carefully, bit by bit.

For the next few days, the Weasley twins accompanied Penny every day as they searched the Room of Requirement together.

But they were different from Puni. Puni had a clear goal and focused on finding the Ravenclaw tiara throughout the entire process, while the twins had no clear purpose and were simply wandering through mountains of items with a treasure-hunting mentality.

Every time they found something, they would gather together to examine it, to see what it was, whether it was useful, and whether it could bring them joy.

If they come across a trinkets they like, strange magical items, or interesting old objects, they will secretly put them away and hide them in their pockets, afraid that Puni will find out and tease them.

Watching the two of them secretly hide whatever they found that they liked, looking extremely cautious and afraid of being discovered, Puni shook his head helplessly. Then, he took out a small, exquisite-looking pocket from his backpack and handed it to the twins.

This seemingly small bag is enchanted with a seamless stretch spell, so no matter how much stuff it holds, it won't get bigger or heavier, making it perfect for storing the "treasures" they've found.

George and Fred's eyes lit up instantly when they saw the bag, their faces filled with surprise and joy. They rushed over, and George couldn't wait to say, "Puni, you're such a good friend!"

Fred nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. With this bag, we don't have to sneak around hiding things anymore. Thank you so much!"

Seeing the grateful and overjoyed expressions on their faces, Puni's lips curled into a sly smile. He deliberately put on a stern face and interrupted their thanks: "Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. There's no such thing as a free lunch. This bag isn't just for you."

The twins' smiles froze instantly. They exchanged a glance, and Fred couldn't help but ask, "Puni, what do you mean by that? Does this bag cost money?"

“Of course.” Puni nodded, held up five fingers, and said decisively, “One Galleon, and this pouch with the Seamless Stretch Charm is yours. If you can’t come up with one Galleon, then forget it, I won’t give it to you for free.”

Upon hearing this, the twins' surprise instantly turned into helplessness: "Puni, you're really too much! We don't have a Galleon! You know our family's situation."

Fred chimed in, looking miserable, "Yeah, a Galleon is no small sum for us. Can't you give us a discount or even give it to us for free?"

Seeing the two pleading with pained expressions, Puni chuckled inwardly, but didn't budge. He insisted, "No, not a single penny less. If you want this pouch, you'll have to collect a Galleon. If you don't, you'll have to continue secretly hiding your treasures underground."

As he spoke, he pretended to take the bag back. Seeing this, the twins quickly reached out to stop him and hurriedly discussed how to collect enough Galleons to buy the useful bag.

"You're a swindler! A complete swindler! You even cheat your own friends, that's too much!" George clutched his chest, wailing with a "grief" on his face.

Fred chimed in, frowning and feigning a pitiful look. The two of them took turns crying and wailing, their faces full of accusation, but not a single tear came out. It was all bark and no bite; their pitiful act was completely faked.

Puni leaned against the pile of wooden crates, arms crossed, looking at them calmly, not believing a word of their story.

He knew the Weasley twins too well; their greatest strengths were feigning helplessness and acting like scoundrels. There was no way he could get them to give in with that act.

After a brief standoff, seeing that Puni remained unmoved, the twins had no choice but to abandon their pitiful appearance, slump their shoulders, and reluctantly give in.

They have a Galleon now!

However, Puni eventually relented and sold them the bag with the Seamless Stretch Charm on credit.

His reason for doing this was not really to earn the twins' gold gallons, but mainly to give them a sense of crisis and urge them to quickly produce the joke toys they had conceived.

These items are all likely to sell very well.

“Oh right, Puni.” George, who had just accepted the fact that he had been ripped off for a Galleon, suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead. “What about the cloak you promised us? The kind that can hide our tracks and prevent Filch and the professor from finding us. Why didn’t you mention it?”

Fred immediately chimed in, stepping forward, hands on his hips, striking a confident pose: "Exactly! We want it now! You can't go back on your word!"

“That’s right, give it to us now, or we’ll fine you to offset that Galleon debt!” George added, the helplessness on their faces long gone, replaced by grinning faces.

The two surrounded Puni, urging him on with their own words.

They had been eyeing this cloak that could conceal their presence for a long time.

They've been searching for the Requirement Room for several days now, but Puni hasn't mentioned it yet; they've been itching to get their hands on it for ages.

Upon hearing this, Puni paused for a moment, then slapped his forehead, looking as if he had just realized something: "Oh right, I almost forgot about that! I was so busy looking for things that I completely forgot about what I promised you."

He dropped his composure, clapped his hands with a smile, and called out to the twins, "Since you're in such a hurry, let's start making it now! Right here, I'll give it to you as soon as it's done, so I don't have to deliver it to you later."

"Make it here?" George and Fred were both stunned, their faces full of doubt. George frowned and asked, "But there are no materials here, no cloth, no thread, and no magic potions. How are we going to make a cloak?"

Fred nodded in agreement: "That's right, making a magic cloak requires special materials; you can't just conjure them out of thin air, can you?"

Puni smiled and shook his head, patiently explaining, "I've discovered a new way to make this cloak; just wait and see."

At this point, he changed the subject: "However, before we begin production, you will need to hold a ceremony with me."

"This ritual is used to bind both parties, mainly to ensure that you will not reveal the method of making the cloak, or our affairs here, to anyone, including your family and other classmates. Once revealed, the ritual will automatically trigger a backlash."

As Puni spoke patiently and persuasively, he slowly raised his foot and gently stomped it. Suddenly, a faint golden light emanated from the ground beneath his feet, and a huge magic circle instantly unfolded in front of the three of them. The magic circle was engraved with complex and mysterious patterns, exuding a gentle yet majestic holy aura. Soft light flowed between the patterns, making it look both mysterious and solemn.

"Alright, the ceremony is ready. Tell me, who wants to go first?"

Looking at the magic circle radiating a sacred aura before them, the twins' playful expressions gradually faded, and they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. This was the first time they had ever seen such a mysterious ritual.

But they have Gryffindor blood flowing in their veins and are born with an adventurous spirit. The more mysterious something is, the more it arouses their curiosity, and they will not back down easily.

"I'll go first!" George was the first to raise his hand, eager to try.

“No, I should go first!” Fred immediately retorted, taking a step forward defiantly. “I was the one who remembered the cloak first, so I should go first!”

The two argued back and forth, neither willing to give in. Suddenly, George adopted a tragic expression and said to Fred, "Fred, if anything happens to me during the ceremony, remember to take good care of my broom! I saved up for a long time to buy it!"

Fred rolled his eyes and said dismissively, "Your broken broom almost fell apart during the last flight. It should have been thrown away a long time ago. Do you really need me to take care of it?"

Puni stood aside, watching the two argue back and forth, sometimes arguing about who should go first, and sometimes saying nonsensical things. He couldn't help but rub his forehead.

These two are such a pair of clowns; they can always start arguing, no matter what, and they just keep saying useless things.

Finally, the two agreed that George would perform the ceremony first, while Fred would wait on the side.

The ritual was simple. Under Puni's guidance, George placed his hand in the center of the magic circle and recited the oath Puni had taught him. The light of the magic circle instantly intensified, and a soft ray of light rose from the magic circle and merged into George's body, thus completing the ritual.

Fred then followed the same steps and completed the ceremony.

After the ceremony, Puni raised his hand and waved his wand, chanting a complex magic incantation. The golden light of the magic circle gradually faded.

Then, two velvet cloaks slowly appeared in the center of the magic circle.

This is another function of the sacred site discovered by Puni.

It can not only create nine sacred artifacts, but it can also help create and replicate items that have already been made.

So the original plan was to buy two cloaks as gifts for the twins, but now not only do I not need to give them away, I can even turn the twins into my own people.
