Chapter 250 A Room to Hide Things
On Monday morning, Ravenclaw had to take two consecutive Potions classes.
When the get out of class was over, Andy secretly pulled Hermione's arm and signaled with his eyes.
The little witch understood immediately.
So, Snape saw a strange sight.
The get out of class was over, but there were still little wizards who stayed in the classroom and refused to leave. How much did they love learning?
If these two people were not Andy and Hermione... Well, no matter who they were, Snape would not give them a good face.
Just like at this moment.
Snape's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.
"Professor..."
Andy had just started talking when Snape said, "Collins, if you want to find out what happened last night, I suggest you go to Dumbledore. You two seem to get along well."
Since Andy interrupted him many times, Snape also realized the magic skill of "interruption".
He didn't want to see Andy now.
He didn't want to hear Andy talk.
Don't ask him why, he just doesn't know.
Is Andy afraid of interruption? "Professor..."
"Collins..."
Snape used the interruption skill again, "You don't seem to care about what others think of you...even if they hate you."
Andy listened to Snape patiently, and he didn't want to leave at all.
After Snape finished speaking, Andy continued to say: "Professor..."
Snape: "..."
Andy said: "The Room of Requirement is on the eighth floor of the castle. I think...this is why Justin was attacked."
"By the way, I can't control what others think of me, but..."
Maybe one day, I can control the life and death of others.
Snape: I learned it!
It doesn't matter if someone interrupts you, but he can't interrupt you all the time. No matter what important thing he said, you should finish what you want to say.
For example: deduct points from Collins!
Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Snape looked at Andy.
But what?
Also, the Room of Requirement is on the eighth floor of the castle?
Snape remembered that he and Dumbledore searched the eighth floor of the castle last night - they searched every corner of the eighth floor, but still found nothing.
Dumbledore is really unreliable!
"Did you find the Room of Requirement?" Snape asked.
"Professor Snape!"
Hermione explained: "I discussed with Andy last night. Since Andy improved the Patronus Charm, there have been students who want to investigate Andy's secrets. They want to find the place where Andy practices magic on weekdays."
"Andy has been practicing magic in the Room of Requirement."
"If someone searches the eighth floor of the castle, they are likely to find the Room of Requirement and discover some secrets."
Snape: Not really!
Snape's face is not very good. Who is Granger implying by this sentence?
"Where is the Room of Requirement?" Snape asked.
Snape thought of Voldemort's Horcrux.
If Voldemort really hid a Horcrux in Hogwarts, then he might have hidden it in the Room of Requirement.
"Professor, what kind of magic attacked Justin?"
Andy suddenly said, "Only by understanding this can I be sure that the reason he was attacked was because of the Room of Requirement."
Snape looked at Andy unkindly.
Andy continued, "It is not easy to find the Room of Requirement. I also spent a lot of energy to find it. That is my secret."
Snape's face became even uglier, "He has been sucked of a lot of vitality."
Thinking that Andy also knew the secret of the Horcrux, Snape did not hide this matter.
Sucked away vitality?
What kind of magic is this?
Andy looked at Snape and saw the expression of "you know" on his face.
Andy suddenly realized.
They suspected that Voldemort's Horcrux was at work?
Did Voldemort hide a Horcrux in the Room of Requirement when he applied for a job for the second time?
What a courage!
Andy blinked and said, "There is a giant tapestry on the eighth floor of the castle. If you pass by it three times and think about the room you need, the door to the Room of Requirement will appear."
That's it!
Snape looked at Andy: You are so bored that you would pass by a tapestry three times?
"Anything else?" Snape looked at Andy, as if he would kill Andy if Andy said the word "anything else".
"It's okay! It's okay!"
Andy stood up and said, "Professor Snape, let's go to dinner first."
"Goodbye, professor." Hermione waved her hand.
She is not so afraid of Snape now.
...
After learning about the Room of Requirement from Andy, Snape immediately came to the principal's office.
"...That's what happened."
Snape said slowly: "Collins didn't mention anything else except the Room of Requirement."
Dumbledore seemed to be relieved. "Collins did bring us a very important clue."
Voldemort hid the Horcrux in the Room of Requirement.
However, several years later, a young wizard accidentally discovered the Room of Requirement in order to investigate Andy's secret, and found Voldemort's Horcrux there.
The whole thing makes sense.
Snape suddenly asked: "You really don't know where the Room of Requirement is?"
"Of course! Severus, I have said more than once that I am not omnipotent."
Dumbledore said calmly: "Even if I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, I cannot know all the secrets of the castle. Not only the Room of Requirement, but also the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets..."
"This thousand-year-old castle hides too many secrets, many of which are not even rumors."
Snape no longer dwelled on this matter, "Do you want to go to the Room of Requirement to investigate?"
Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Voldemort's dark magic items should have been taken away, but... we should go and have a look."
Walking out of the principal's office, Dumbledore and Snape came to the tapestry of 'Trolls Beating Stupid Barnabas'.
"That's it."
Dumbledore thought about it and walked back and forth three times in the corridor in front of the tapestry.
A door slowly appeared on the wall opposite the tapestry.
"Is this the Room of Requirement?" Snape was a little surprised.
"It seems so! Severus, let's go in and have a look!" Dumbledore pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement.
Inside the door, there is a room that looks like a garbage mountain.
Snape asked, "What conditions did you put forward?"
"A place to hide things." Dumbledore replied.
Snape looked at the room that looked like a garbage mountain in front of him and followed Dumbledore in.
This is indeed a good place to hide things.
A room that can hide things?
If Voldemort wanted to hide his Horcrux, he would indeed put forward this condition.
Then... what about the little wizard who wanted to find Andy?
Andy disappeared inexplicably on the eighth floor.
A room that can hide things... or hide people?
This is also possible!
