Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 623 Infiltrator

Vader hid in the corner, watching the figure pacing back and forth in front of the Room of Requirement.

Ryan Smith, the Ilvermorny warrior who had been eliminated, if I remember correctly, his performance in the secret room was remarkable, but he did not coordinate well with the people around him and was always dragged down by them. In the end, he was hit by Wade's stunning spell before he could fully display his strength.

At this time, Ryan was holding a dragon leather bag tightly in his hand, with his other hand pressed to his ear, and was talking to someone in a low voice.

……

"Stop rushing!"

Ryan Smith gritted his teeth, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He glanced at the tapestry beside him in panic and said:

"I've tried three times and I can't open the damn door! Are you sure you remember the right place?"

A cold voice came from my ear: [Of course I am not mistaken. Maybe when you came here before, there was someone inside.]

"This secret room only allows one person to stay in it at a time?"

Ryan glanced at the empty wall and said anxiously, "Didn't you say that no one knows about this place except you?"

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the communication pea.

The person on the other side did not deny the speculation that "only one person at a time", because when he was still in school, it was indeed true that only he could go to the Room of Requirement every time, and he was sure that even Dumbledore did not know this secret.

But so much time had passed, and he did not expect that no other student at Hogwarts would discover the secret.

So his voice turned cold, and he asked back: [Are you questioning me? Are you questioning the guide who selflessly helped you? ]

“No…no…I’m not…” Ryan realized that his tone was a little offensive, and quickly explained: “I’m just…I’m just worried that I’ve missed the opportunity again this time…”

[So - hurry up.] The other party said: [You have been delaying for too long.]

"I know, but it's too difficult to sneak into this place." Ryan couldn't help but explain: "The entrance to the headmaster's office is nearby, and Dumbledore may show up at any time."

As he spoke, he looked back at the corridor vigilantly, as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

[Don't worry, Dumbledore will not abandon the guests and return to the office before the ball is over. Tonight is your best chance! ]

The voice patiently soothed him, then became stern: [Focus! Otherwise the secret room will never open to you!]

"I see!"

Ryan said, suppressing his worries and fears, walking back and forth in the corridor, muttering to himself as he walked:

"I need a place to hide... I need a place to hide... I need a place to hide..."

After he went back and forth three times, a tall door finally emerged from the blank wall.

Ryan was overjoyed and shouted, "It appeared!"

[Keep your voice down!] The other side scolded: [Do you want to attract everyone here?]

Ryan quickly looked at both sides of the corridor again, but there was no one; he turned his head suddenly and saw the silly Barnabas on the tapestry being hit on the head by the troll with a stick, and he had to turn his head to look at him.

He couldn't help laughing: "So it's you, a fool, who's looking at me."

opposite:"……?"

He didn't bother to ask what Ryan was talking about, but just urged him to act quickly again. Then Ryan opened the door, walked into the Room of Requirement, and was stunned for a moment.

"I remember you said... this place has piles of old furniture and garbage accumulated over the years, and it looks like a small town?"

He turned around and closed the door of the secret room, saying with a tingling scalp.

[Yes.] The other party said: [Next, you just need to follow my instructions and you can find the Ravenclaw Diadem. First you have to find a troll specimen...]

Ryan swallowed.

But this place... is much more spacious than that person described! The area is not as large as he described.

The items that were said to be piled up like mountains are now just scattered debris. If they were all piled up, they probably wouldn't even be able to fill up an ordinary classroom.

He also didn't see any giant monster specimens.

If such a huge thing was really still in this secret room, he could see it at a glance by standing at the door. After all, the house is now so empty.

but.

Oh... it's just not here...

Ryan thought dully that he had indeed seen a specimen of a troll, but not in this secret room, but in the maze.

The maze is the most interesting large-scale real-life game project at Hogwarts. There is no student from other schools who is not interested in this game. Professor Gilbert also said that he would build a similar game venue in Ilvermorny after returning.

Anyway, Ilvermorny was founded in imitation of Hogwarts, so no one would feel embarrassed to continue imitating their way of training students to display their abilities.

Anyway, one time when Ryan participated in a maze game, he was frightened by a stinky giant monster and almost thought he was going to die. Later he found out that it was just a magical specimen that was extremely flexible.

He told the person on the other end of the communication pea about the situation. As expected, the person on the other end was silent for half a minute before shouting angrily:

[How dare they? Those idiots at Hogwarts emptied the Chamber of Secrets? Including my diadem?]

Ryan corrected him: "To be precise, it is the diadem of Ravenclaw, and you promised to let me have it."

——How does the crown become "yours"?
Even though the man on the other side was angry, he understood what Ryan meant. He was too lazy to get angry, but just felt surprised - why did he choose such a guy?
Well... because he was the only one who accepted my bewitching!
The man named "Guide" but actually "Voldemort" took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and tried to maintain his previous tone and said: "Yes, you will get it. But first, you have to find the crown."

"Yes...that's right..."

Ryan looked at the messy garbage in the secret room, his eyes went dark, his body stiffened for a moment, and finally he bent down and searched carefully.

Wade, who was hiding nearby: "..."

—Are you really going to just start digging through the garbage? Why not try the Flying Spell?

Of course, the crown could not be found with the Flying Spell, and people seemed to generally assume that something this ancient and powerful would resist being summoned.

Seeing Ryan following the other party's instructions and searching in a certain direction, Wade quietly turned to another corner, stretched out his wand, and touched a shabby crucible.

The crucible quietly changed, becoming an old, dull crown.

Next, it all depends on when Ryan can find it.

Looking at the figure who was rummaging through a wooden box with great effort, Wade lazily leaned against the wall to take a rest.
