Chapter 115 The House of Requirement

With this invisibility cloak, Harry ran out of the dormitory for three consecutive nights,

Originally, he wanted to go to the restricted section of the library to find out if there were any books about "Nicole Flamel", but he was almost caught by the gatekeeper Filch and Professor Snape.

Later, he accidentally entered a room and saw a magical mirror in it. In that mirror, he saw his father and mother who had passed away, as well as the grandpa he had never seen before.

According to the headmaster Dumbledore who met on the third day, that mirror is called the "Mirror of Erised".
But in fact, everything you see is fake and illusory.

Hearing Harry say that he was wearing an invisibility cloak and easily entered the restricted area of ​​the library, Charlie couldn't help rolling his eyes,
You must know that in the last semester, he tried to sneak into the library several times, went to the restricted area inside, and looked for some powerful spell books to study, but was blocked by the library's powerful defensive spell.
And when Harry went, it was unimpeded,
Sure enough, the protagonist's treatment was different. He guessed that when Harry walked out of the dormitory wearing an invisibility cloak at night, Dumbledore should have secretly followed him with the invisibility spell.

Although Harry's invisibility cloak is not an ordinary invisibility cloak, but an invisibility cloak that is one of the rumored three holy artifacts, its effect is not much different from that of ordinary invisibility cloaks.

It's just that ordinary invisibility cloaks are made of the hair of invisible beasts, and after a long time, the invisibility effect will be lost, but the invisibility cloak, one of the three holy artifacts, can maintain the invisibility effect permanently.

But it doesn't mean that the invisibility effect of the invisibility cloak is better than that of the invisibility cloak.
Therefore, for Dumbledore, who is proficient in the invisibility spell, he can see through Harry wearing the invisibility cloak at a glance.

In fact, in Charlie's view, the so-called three holy artifacts in this world are not as powerful as the legends say, they can only be said to be slightly stronger than ordinary magic items.

Obtaining the most powerful "Old Wand" does not make you invincible, but it only strengthens the power of the spell. Whether you are strong or not depends on yourself.

"Invisibility Cloak" can become invisible, but it only lasts longer than ordinary invisibility cloaks. If you know the invisibility spell, it can completely replace its effect.
The last "resurrection stone" is even more tasteless, it can't really resurrect people, it just brings the soul of the dead to the side, and it can't be touched or even communicated.
Therefore, whether it is the soul of the dead person brought back or not is still not completely certain. It may be just a phantom, or it may be a stone with a powerful illusion.

"So have you finally found any news about Nicole Flamel?"

Alice asked curiously.

Harry sighed:

"No, because Dumbledore knew I had an invisibility cloak, so I stopped secretly going to the restricted area of ​​the library to check books!"

"Well, that's really sad!"

Hermione on the side couldn't help showing a look of disappointment when she heard that Harry still didn't figure out who "Nicole Flamel" was in the end.

"Oh, by the way, Hermione, Alice, have you finished your vacation homework? Lend it to me later!"

Then Ron suddenly interjected,
"Me too!"

Harry showed the same expectant look,

"It's not like you haven't finished your homework until now, you will have to hand it in tomorrow when school starts!"

Alice asked in surprise.

"I knew it, they must be only interested in having fun during the holidays!"

Hermione rolled her eyes.

Harry spent the whole first half of the vacation looking for "Nicole Flamel", and the second half fell into a trough because of the Mirror of Erised. Of course, he didn't have much time to deal with homework.
Ron, on the other hand, really only cared about playing.

Late at night, after Alice and the others fell asleep, Charlie quietly left the Gryffindor dormitory and came to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.
He wants to make sure that the Mirror of Erised is still in the Room of Requirement,

If not, it means that Dumbledore has hidden the Philosopher's Stone in the Mirror of Erised and placed it behind the heavy mechanism on the fourth floor.

Along the corridor on the eighth floor, Charlie quickly found the entrance to the Room of Requirement. It was just opposite a tapestry. On the tapestry was a moving painting. In the painting, a wizard named Barnabas was tentatively teaching the troll inside to dance the ballet.
"The Room of Requirement! The Room of Requirement! The Room of Requirement!"

Charlie concentrated and kept thinking while quickly walking across the wall opposite the tapestry. After three consecutive times, a very smooth door appeared on the wall.

Pushing open the door and walking in cautiously, Charlie began to look up, down, left, and right with a cat's head.

What unfolded in front of his eyes was a very empty and narrow room with nothing in it.

"Mirror of Erised!"

Charlie closed his eyes and muttered silently.

"It seems that it was taken away!"

After opening his eyes, the room was still empty, and Charlie knew that the Mirror of Erised was no longer in the Room of Requirement.

In the Room of Requirement, as long as you want, you can conjure most of the items you need, but that is limited to ordinary items. Magic items like the Mirror of Erised cannot be conjured out of thin air unless they are placed in advance.
Charlie sometimes guesses that the creator of the Room of Requirement must be very proficient in the Transfiguration Charm, and this room should be composed of a series of spells such as the particularly advanced Transfiguration Curse, the Untraceable Stretching Curse, and even the Legilimency Charm.

Only then can it change the size and change the desired things according to the mind of the person who enters here.

Seeing that the Mirror of Erised did not appear in the Room of Requirement, Charlie closed his eyes again, but this time he muttered in his heart:

"I need that place where the Ravenclaw diadem is hidden!"

Yes, the purpose of Charlie coming to the Room of Requirement this time is not only to confirm whether the Mirror of Erised has been transferred to the fourth floor, but also to confirm whether one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Ravenclaw's diadem, is in the Room of Requirement.

open your eyes,
At this time, the entire Room of Requirement is no longer empty and narrow as before, but has become a huge treasure house composed of countless miscellaneous items.

All the items in this room are the things that the wizards and professors who used to study at Hogwarts wanted to hide.
And the former owners of these things, some are still alive in this world, while some have passed away for many years.

Bottles, hats, boxes, chairs, books, weapons, brooms, bats and other items are piled up everywhere, like hills. This scene can't help but make Charlie feel dizzy.
