Chapter 610 Hermione's Surprising Discovery
"Luna"
When Harry and Ron looked at each other in surprise, they heard something moving outside the doorway. When they both turned their heads to take a look, they found that it was Luna.
To be honest, even Harry and Ron are very puzzled by the recent relationship between Hermione and Luna. After all, how these two seemingly diametrically opposed girls can coexist so harmoniously has left many people scratching their heads.
And just now, Luna and Hermione apparently got together again.
"Harry, Ron" Luna stood outside, showing a leisurely smile at the two of them, "good evening, have you heard that the Flobber caterpillars raised by Professor Hagrid all climbed on the whooping willow knots?" Cocooning that sounds really interesting, let's take a look at it later, how about it?"
I don't know when it started, probably because of the frequent contacts, they basically call each other by first name. This is obviously not a big deal to Harry and Ron, but to Luna, it seems to be another proof that they have made friends, which is of great significance.
"Oh, uh, let's talk about this later"
Hermione had asked Harry and Ron to wait for her in the common room after school, and said she had to say something very important to them. So, Luna, who is surprisingly close to Hermione recently, is also one of them?
Before learning about it from Hermione, Harry temporarily pressed his plan to ask the other party directly. It would not be too late when Hermione came back from the dormitory, depending on the situation.
With Hermione's rationality, since she has already said that it is a "big matter", then what she wants to tell herself and Ron this time must not be small.
"Luna, don't stand outside, come in first"
"No, there's no need."
It was Ron who said that inviting Luna into the common room,
But it was not Luna who rejected his proposal, but Hermione who quickly returned from the dormitory.
"Let's go to the Room of Requirement," she said, "I have to discuss something with you."
"Can't you just say it here?" Ron said bitterly, "Look, there's no one else here, and more importantly, I'm really hungry."
"No, of course not here." Hermione said without a doubt, "This matter is very important, and I must not let other students hear it. I thought about it several times, and finally decided to just tell you a few first. We can only talk about it later.”
"Very important," said Harry, nodding his head and saying, "Okay then let's go now"
Although neither Harry nor Ron had a clear idea of what Hermione wanted to say, it did not affect the trust they had developed with Hermione over the years. Still ignorant, they and Luna followed Hermione towards the Room of Requirement.
The training has always been carried out there, and the few people present are very familiar with it. Soon, they came to the blank wall where the door of the Response Room was located, but Hermione stopped Harry in time who was about to habitually call out the training room.
"Harry, wait a minute," she said suddenly, "We are not going to the training ground this time, but another rather special room."
After Hermione stopped Harry, she walked back and forth three times along the wall while thinking about the room she was about to enter. When the familiar opening method is completed, a door that is no different from the usual training room is then highlighted.
"After entering, you will see many werewolf statues right away. In fact, I don't know if those are statues, but they will not move for sure. That's it, so don't be scared."
Hermione put her hand on the doorknob, first she turned her head to remind Harry and the others beforehand, and then opened the door of the Room of Requirement with a click.
As the door opened, a dim light immediately appeared in the room. Although it was not very bright, it was more than enough for lighting.
When they entered the room with Hermione who walked in first, as expected, a whole mess of stone statues came into everyone's eyes. Those stone statues were so lifelike, if Hermione hadn't reminded them first, they might have thought that all the statues were real living creatures.
Under the light of the dim flame that continued to burn above the room, the shadows of the statues swayed and distorted slightly, making them look even more hideous.
"It's really a werewolf," Ron said, still a little startled, "You can even see the fur on your body clearly, as if they were still moving the last moment, it's really true"
"It feels like time has been stopped," Harry also nodded, "I understand why you said that you are not sure if they are stone statues. No matter how you look at them, they are exactly the same as real werewolves. Are they petrified?"
Harry and Ron paused, and both subconsciously glanced at Hermione.
In the second school year, Hermione was petrified by the basilisk that ran out of the Slytherin chamber. Hermione's appearance at that time was no different from these werewolf statues at all. The texture like a hard stone, as well as the completely frozen expression, all tell that they used to be living werewolves.
Well, maybe only Luna will approach them immediately and observe them closely with full of curiosity.
"Where is this place and why are there so many werewolf stone statues?" Harry asked in surprise, "Is it a laboratory for some bad dark wizard to study black magic?"
"It's not a dark wizard," Hermione shook her head, and said softly, "This was the room that Maca used to use. When he was still in school, he seemed to be doing various studies and research here. But since After everything he's been through, it seems like he hasn't been here for a long time."
"Maca" Harry and Ron were taken aback for a moment.
Just looking at the messy desk in the back of the room, one can guess that Maca probably stayed here before, and also conducted a lot of magic research.
What's more, there are many potion cabinets lined up around the room, including some potion name labels that they have seen in Maca's place.
But no matter how you look at it, it always makes people feel that there may have been a lot of research on black magic here, and if you count the rather dim environment, some people may believe that it is the laboratory of the Dark Lord.
"Yes, it's Maca," Hermione nodded, and locked the door of the Response Room, "However, I have actually been here many times about what he has studied here. , I have flipped through the manuscripts he left on the desk several times, but apart from potions, that is, the ancient runes that Maca taught in class during this period can make me understand to a certain extent."
"Uh Hermione," Ron interrupted suddenly, "Did Maca let you in?"
"I didn't ask him directly," Hermione said hesitantly. "However, he told me about this place, saying that he had used it before and thought it was very suitable for our training."
Although the few people present didn’t think that Maca would be angry because they came here without authorization, to be honest, they have never seen Maca angry, but is this really okay?
"I know, I should at least tell him," Hermione pursed her lips and said, "But when I found a magic book here, I started to hesitate."
"what book"
Harry and Ron asked almost at the same time, and even Luna, who was only looking at the werewolf statues, turned around at the same time.
"It's on the bookshelf over here."
Hermione waved to them, and led them gently around among the werewolf statues, and walked to the deepest corner of the room.
Over there, there were several heavy-looking solid wooden bookshelves, two of which were almost filled with all kinds of magic books. As for the rest of the bookshelves, they seemed to have been filled once, and then most of them were taken away. Only a few books remained crookedly in their original places.
Hermione took out her wand casually, waved it towards the top of the full bookshelf on the left, and a black-covered magic book with purple patterns jumped down from above and fell into her hands.
She shook the wand again, and the tip of the wand immediately lit up with a group of soft magic light, illuminating the surroundings brightly.
"Silent Curse" Harry's eyes lit up immediately, "When did you practice it?"
"Just don't interrupt me a few weeks ago," Hermione replied subconsciously, but immediately gave him another look. "I found something in this book that deserves our attention, just in"
As she spoke, she flipped the pages of the book. It can be seen that although this book looks a bit evil, there is no hidden power of black magic in it, it is just an ordinary theoretical book.
"Well, it starts from this page, you can take a look," Hermione said, and with a tap of her wand, the magic book turned and floated in front of Harry and the others, "although I don't know exactly what it is. Is it true, but if this is the case, then Maca may already know the secret of Voldemort's resurrection."
On the other side, Harry, Ron, and Luna all got together, staring at the pages in front of them, reading word by word silently. Soon, Harry, who was the first to read the main points, immediately gasped.
"Horcrux" he widened his eyes and said in astonishment, "If it is really this kind of magic, it would be terrible."
