Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 71 Rules and Packages

Wade raised an eyebrow, turned his head and saw the silly Barnabas in the tapestry.

Whenever he entered or left the Room of Requirement, he would see this tapestry first. Sometimes he saw Silly Barnabas forcing the troll to put on a ballet skirt and dance, and sometimes he saw the troll hitting Silly Barnabas on the head with a big stick. The two were always entangled in this tapestry, never talking to each other, and never going anywhere else.

He originally thought that this was because the tapestry and the portrait were different...

At this time, the trolls in the tapestry were lying aside and sleeping, while the wizard was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes obviously looking at him, and he said with a very serious expression.

"Silly... uh... Mr. Barnabas?"

"It doesn't matter. Just call me Silly Barnabas. That's what they call me anyway." Barnabas said indifferently, and then asked, "I guess you took something from the Room of Requirement?"

"Yes," Wade admitted openly, "but this does not belong to the Room of Requirement. Someone else put it there, just like the broom I took away before."

"It doesn't matter whether it was hidden by someone else, child." Barnabas said slowly: "In this castle, all the things abandoned by their owners will eventually appear in this room. When they are forgotten by their owners, they become part of the Room of Requirement. You can take what you need, such as the broom; but you should not take things you don't need, or use the Room of Requirement to satisfy some personal desires."

"Personal desires?" Wade asked back, "Like what?"

"For example, you can sell the things inside to make money." Barnabas paused and added, "If you really need money, you can look for it in the junk pile. You should be able to find some Galleons, enough to meet your daily needs."

"Then - what if I really take away the things I don't need in there?" Wade asked again.

Barnabas said seriously, "Then one day, the things you took away will return to Hogwarts in a way you never want to see. And you will be punished by the magic contract for violating the original intention of entering the Room of Requirement."

His tone was sad and compassionate, as if he had already seen the scene of Vader dying tragically or being tortured in the future because he was unwilling to accept his advice.

The giant monster next to him groaned in his sleep, scratched his butt, turned over and continued to sleep. Its stinky feet were right in front of Barnabas, so Barnabas had to pinch his nose and move to another place to sit, then adjusted his mood and continued to stare at Wade with a heavy look.

"So," Wade couldn't help but smile and asked, "If I found a dangerous dark magic item in the Room of Requirement and was worried that it might hurt other students, so I took it away to deal with it - would that also be considered a violation of the contract?"

“Oh, oh, so that’s it—”

Barnabas' train of thought was interrupted. He thought seriously for a long time before he stammered, "This - should be considered as doing a good deed - the castle, the castle will thank you - of course it is not a violation of the contract -"

"Anyway, thanks for your advice, Barnabas - I'll give it back once I've dealt with the dark magic on it."

Vader waved his hand and turned away.

After walking a distance, Wade finally couldn't help but sighed softly.

When Vader finally found the Room of Requirement under the guidance of the elf, he once thought, if he needed a room full of gold Galleons or a time-turner, could the Room of Requirement also satisfy him?

Or when he was studying in the Room of Requirement, he took all the books or alchemical tools away. When he came back next time, would he see an empty room, or would all the things he needed still appear?

After much thought, Wade finally suppressed his various impulsive thoughts and did not test whether there was such a bug in the Room of Requirement.

He was not the first person to discover the Room of Requirement. Before that, countless students and professors may have discovered the magical function of this room. Voldemort also hid his Horcruxes here. The Room of Requirement was not a secret among the house-elves in the castle.

If the things in the Room of Requirement can really be taken away at will, then didn't any of his students discover this bug? It's impossible that everyone is as noble as Harry Potter in the original book, and never thought of using the Room of Requirement to make a profit? Apart from anything else, at least when he was young, Tom Riddle was definitely a person who could use resources to the extreme. He didn't empty the Room of Requirement. The only explanation is that he couldn't, not that he didn't want to.

It seems that Tom Riddle must have received a warning from Barnabas. With that man's personality, he would not easily believe the words of a tapestry. After all, he is also a curse master and a descendant of Slytherin. Maybe he tried different methods and finally found that the tapestry was right...

"Room of Requirement" - providing help to those who are truly in need.

Wade had long guessed that people had reached some kind of invisible contract when they stepped into this room, so he didn't try it recklessly. But when his guess was actually confirmed, he was still disappointed.

Who hates getting something for nothing?
Wade patted his face and reminded himself that he had already received a lot of help from the Room of Requirement. Human greed is insatiable, so he should not be driven by desire and forget what he really wants.

……

The next morning, the sky finally cleared up.

After experiencing heavy snow and continuous rainy weather, the students showed great love for the sunny weather. Many of them got up early and walked, chatted, chased and played in groups of three or five on the grass around the castle.

At breakfast time, countless owls flew into the hall from outside and dropped packages in front of the students. Despite the existence of the Book of Friends, owls, the couriers of the wizarding world, were not eliminated or laid off. They still flew in the sky of Great Britain carrying packages of all sizes.

Ava also landed beside Wade, bringing Fiona's newly made candies and desserts. She pecked Wade's arm angrily, as if blaming him for leaving her at home.

Wade tore some beef for her, and Ava swallowed it. She was satisfied, chirped twice, and flew away.

Wade distributed some of the candies and desserts in the package to the students around him, then turned around and said, "Michael——"

"Hmm?" Michael responded and praised, "Mrs. Grey's peanut candy is delicious!"

"I'll put them in the umbrella room later. If you like, take more." Wade said, "Can you take some photos for me later?"

"Okay!" Michael agreed naturally and asked, "Did you buy a camera?"

"It was a Christmas present from my dad," Vader said.

"Take a couple of pictures for me, too—I haven't thought about taking pictures since I got to school!"

"it is good."

The two were about to finish their breakfast quickly when two more owls flew towards Weed, one dropping a letter and the other dropping a large package.

Michael was surprised: "Your family sent you so many things?"

"No." Wade looked at the signature on the envelope: "This is not from my parents."
