Chapter 124 The Room of Requirement

The kind smile that seemed to be embedded in his face in the past was gone.

There was no spark of joy in the eyes behind the lenses.

Every twitching muscle in that young face was filled with cold anger.

A kind of power began to radiate from his body, as if he was burning and generating heat.

But her body began to cry out unconsciously and she lost control.

The yellow liquid soaked the sofa, just as fear soaked her heart now.

She finally realized that she might have made an irreparable mistake.

She wanted to beg for mercy, but no sound came out and her mouth could only open and close like a dead fish.

"Pain!" Dumbledore's cold voice rang out.

Unexplained pain began to arise in Skeeter's heart. At first it was just like a branding iron inserted into her brain, but as the pain spread, every inch of her flesh and blood, her internal organs, seemed to be bitten by an ant.

This pain, which could take her life, could not take her life at this moment.

The gentle magnetic field enveloped her body along with the radiation, making her healthier than ever before.

She also couldn't faint.

Because this pain comes from the heart, it can only be felt clearly and in vain.

"Stop." Another command, but this time it was directed at the curse that made the woman in front of him veins pop out and foam at the mouth.

But as if intentionally, the lines of the curse fading appeared on the surface of the body, flowing with an unignorable heat, pouring into her physical heart.

It made her realize clearly that the curse had not yet subsided and was still alive with her heartbeat.

The wand moved away from his neck, and Dumbledore's voice no longer had a metallic, echoing quality.

"You can recall and try to think about spreading the news about that girl."

Rita Skeeter rolled her eyes ugly, but the pain surged again in an instant.

The armchair in the distance slid automatically behind Dumbledore. He sat down and said gently, "You should understand."

Skeeter nodded his head.

The reason she was still able to survive the torture of the curse was because Dumbledore was keeping her alive.

And when Dumbledore was not by her side, it meant that she had no choice but to die.

Boom! A raging fire replaced Dumbledore's figure.

Set the armchair and the parchment on fire.

The restrictions in the room were also broken with Dumbledore's departure.

Skeeter was lying on the ground, panting.

His eyes were filled with fear.

Then, a thick stack of information fell from the sky and hit her in the face.

On the front of the document was a picture of a blond wizard, blinking his eyes and flashing his dazzling white teeth.

Rita Skeeter, who was lying on the carpet, seemed to see something and laughed out loud.

This was all that Bagel saw at that moment.

He also knew that Gilderoy Lockhart had probably been crossed off the list of candidates for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Could the new consumable be Sirius (Bajir didn't know the curse had been lifted in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class)?

So he wasn't too surprised when Dumbledore later approached him and asked him to go to France.

In his opinion, Dumbledore at that time could do anything.

Perhaps if necessary, he will go to Nurmengard in Austria and release Grindelwald.

Fortunately, Dumbledore seems to have returned to normal now.

He even allowed Bagel to get along with his treasured sister, Ariana.

It's only 9:9 now. There are still 11 and a half hours until pm.

In the club space, besides Bagel, only Bella, Zoe and Ariana are there now.

Madison went shopping for clothes.

Sophie and Beatrice are currently attending classes. As members of the witch club, they don't have to attend the morning meeting at 9 a.m. every Monday to Friday. But skipping classes is still not allowed.

And now Zoe's long legs replaced Beatrice's round and tight legs as his pillow.

Bella and Ariana were sitting not far away, reading.

The only difference is that Ariana was reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, while Bella was reading the combined edition of Twilight.

Ariana watched and complained, why was Albus like this? How could he let poor little Harry stay at the Dursleys'?

He is really getting old and confused.

And Bella has now seen the chapter where she and Edward have a child and the vampires from the Volturi family cause trouble for them.

Suddenly, she exclaimed, "What? Jacob and the others are not werewolves? They don't even know it?"

"No, real werewolves are extinct. It's normal for Jacob and his friends to be called werewolves."

"Hmm?" This attracted Bagel's attention. He stood up and hugged Bella while looking at the book.

"Shapeshifters? A supernatural race inherited from their fathers? Did they choose to transform into wolves purely by chance? The first transformation could have been a bear, an eagle, or a leopard."

"Outrageous. The werewolves in your world are called Moonchildren. It seems that they can only transform at night, more likely when the moon is out. They are also unable to control themselves. Do they continue their species by biting and infecting people like the werewolves in our world? But they have been slaughtered by the vampires of the Volturi family."

Zoe's ears twitched and she came closer. "Shapeshifter? Sounds a bit like the skin-changer from Lord of the Rings."

"That sounds like druids. Can they only transform into regular animals? What about dragons and unicorns?"

Bajir's fingers glowed, and he instantly read the information in the book in Bella's hand.

After sorting it out for a while, he shook his head. "The Quileutes, or shapeshifters, are a minority group among the Indians. In their daily lives, the only large creatures they come into contact with are wolves, bears, eagles, and leopards. There are no dragons or unicorns in their world."

"And vampires, the cold-blooded people in their eyes, is it because they are more like zombies than living creatures, so they can't be engraved? Or is it because of the rejection in their hearts?"

"But it's really strange. Jacob and his people seem to have really engraved the wolf's form in their blood. They have the characteristics of wolves and are united like wolves. They have also developed such strange abilities as sharing thoughts."

"As for Animagus, apart from having an animal body, it does not provide any additional benefits to the original body."

"I'm really curious, if the Quileutes can really engrave magical creatures, what kind of abilities will their bodies extend to?"

Bajir can't wait to travel to the other world.

Having been a wizard for 11 years, he was not particularly interested in the magic and magical creatures in Harry's world. Although interesting, they were inferior to the magic and magical creatures in other worlds.

For the first time, he felt that time was passing too slowly.

He really wanted to see the collection of books in the witch academy.

Although the magic in it depends on bloodline, it cannot be used if it does not meet the standard. It is more like a technique to better control your own talents - calling the names of gods or demons through spells, or suggesting yourself.

For example, the witch group has the magic of time reversal, but except for the next super witch Mallory, it cannot be used at all.

But Bagel was still very curious.

He began to plan what to do when he arrived at Madison's world. In the American horror world, it seemed that there could only be one vehicle for Satan to devour the world.

The original world line was that after time went back, the new Son of Satan was born five years after Michael Langton, the unawakened Son of Satan, was hit and killed by Mallory's car.

He thought to himself, "So, should I just kill him cleanly while he's still a mortal, or?"

Bagel considered absorbing the negative emotions from Michael Langdon.

In the original world line, although Langton likes to kill, he still has kindness towards his family.

This includes his grandmother Constance who raised him, his adoptive father Ben, his biological father Tate, and his later adoptive mother Mead.

He really turned evil after his grandmother, his cheap father who was his psychologist, and even his biological father gave up on him.

But even so, he has no intention of destroying the world, he just likes killing people.

It was because of the driving force of the Church of Satan led by his later adoptive mother Mead that he began to act.

In fact, from the beginning to the end, he was more willing to hunt down the culprit who prevented him from resurrecting his adoptive mother - the witch group.

It can be considered as a reluctance driven by the goodness in his heart, because of his desire for maternal love.

Therefore, Bagel, who already possesses the power to guide a person towards good or evil, should also be able to lead this son of Satan onto the path of goodness.

As long as Langton is alive, the next Son of Satan may not be born.

Madison and the others can live in peace without having to face the end of the world.

Bajir also has access to a large collection of gemstones and high-quality emotional energy.

While he was thinking, he went online mainly to confirm whether Bajir would alienate her Ariana.

After achieving his goal, he left a sentence, "I'm leaving first. I need to talk to Albus."

He disappeared onto the sofa.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she met the eyes of her own portrait hanging on the fireplace in the living room.

Aberforth rested his chin on his hand and sat quietly by the side.

"Where's Albus?" Ariana asked.

Basil said it would be a surprise, and she thought Albus was here too. But it looked like it was only Aberforth.

"You met the Granger kid again?" Aberforth took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"He, he treated me?" Ariana's eyes dropped and she twisted her hands together. "He treated me very well."

His blue eyes and eyebrows suddenly raised, and he put his hands on his hips, "This has nothing to do with you, Aberforth. What about Albus? Did he arrange for you to go to France?"

Aberforth immediately distanced himself from his brother.

"of course not!"

"You know me. I've always been a liberal."

"In our family, only Albus, that bastard, likes to meddle in everything and has a strong desire for control."

"He's in the office right now!"

He suddenly pointed to the portrait above the fireplace.

"We can't apparate to the castle without the Phoenix."

"And the quickest way to the castle is through it."

His voice suddenly softened again, and he looked at Ariana in the painting, "Can you help us?"

It seems that even Ariana's resurrection did not affect his feelings for Ariana in the painting.

Ariana beside her also put her hands together and bowed, "Please! Another me."

The girl in the painting smiled, turned and walked away. Unlike the people in ordinary portraits, she did not disappear beside the frame, but seemed to be walking along a long tunnel painted behind her.

Her frail figure walked further and further away, until it was finally swallowed up by the darkness.

About a minute passed.

A tiny white dot appeared at the end of the tunnel in the painting, and Ariana walked back toward them, getting closer and bigger.

The figure grew larger and larger, until finally her head and shoulders filled the entire portrait.

At this time, the portrait on the wall opened like a small door, revealing the entrance to a real tunnel.

"Come on, let's go." Aberforth jumped onto the mantelpiece like a nimble monkey, went into the tunnel, and stretched out his right hand to Ariana.

Ariana lifted her skirt and jumped up.

Then, the tunnel suddenly closed, under the control of Ariana in the painting.

On the other side of the tunnel were smooth stone steps that looked very old.

Brass lamps hung on the walls, and the dirt floor was firmly trampled.

There is no end in sight.

Aberforth led the way, saying as he walked: "This passage was built when the school was first established."

"The exit of the passage, which is your portrait, used to be a blank frame."

"The principal's portrait can be placed inside to control the switch."

"But after I became the owner of the Hog's Head, the portrait in the frame was replaced by yours."

Ariana suddenly realized and shook her head cutely, "So, the owner of the Hog's Head Inn is actually a faculty member of Hogwarts."

Aberforth nodded, "Yes, but only the headmaster knows their identities."

Ariana then asked, "What about the entrance? Where is the entrance in the castle?"

"You just said that the principal's portrait is in the principal's office?"

She had just seen The Sorcerer's Stone, so she didn't know yet.

Aberforth shook his head and turned a corner. "No. But it's also on the eighth floor."

"It was in a very strange room - the Coming and Going Room, also known as the Room of Requirement."

“It only appears when people really need it, and when you go in, you’ll find it’s arranged exactly to suit your needs.”

"I found it when I wanted to duel with someone. It was a complete dueling arena. But the most valuable thing was the books about dueling inside. It connected to the library and moved the books I needed to the bookshelf in the room."

"This channel also relies on it to exist. When the school is in real danger and needs shelter, it will continuously optimize its internal structure according to the needs of the refugees."

"It will only happen when the evacuees are no longer able to cope with the dangers outside their homes, need food, and need to leave school."

"After all, food is one of the five exceptions to Gamp's Basic Law of Transfiguration. It can't conjure food out of thin air."

"It's amazing," Ariana said, panting. The slope of the road was very steep, and her white forehead was slightly sweaty.

Then, silence fell between the two of them, their minds gradually occupied by the action of spreading their legs.

All that remains is to move forward and reach the destination - the end of the passage.

Finally, after turning the last corner, we reached the end.

There was another short flight of stone steps and a door exactly like the one behind Ariana's portrait.
