Hogwarts: This holy light is righteously evil

George stopped first, pointed to the bare wall in front of them, and said confidently, "This is it. The secret room we found yesterday is behind this wall."

Fred nodded in agreement, adding, "We found it by chance. Come to think of it, we almost got caught by Filch yesterday trying to find this place. Thinking about it now, it still gives me the chills!"

Puni looked in the direction they were pointing. The wall was smooth and flat, without any gaps, door marks or decorations. It looked no different from the other walls in the corridor, and it didn't look like it was hiding a secret room at all.

He gestured for the twins to recount their experiences from the previous day, and George began to speak at length.

"There are no secret passages on the eighth floor. When we first started searching, we didn't think much of it and were focused on searching the corridors. We didn't notice that Filch and Mrs. Lorris had already surrounded us from both ends of the corridor."

George recalled the scene from yesterday, "By the time we realized what was happening, we were already surrounded from both sides. Filch was roaring in front of us, and Mrs. Lorris was screaming behind us. We were so anxious that we ran back and forth in the corridor, afraid that we would be caught and punished."

"Just when we were cornered and about to be caught, the wall suddenly changed, and a storage room appeared out of thin air. Without thinking, we rushed in and hid."

Fred picked up the thread, both relieved and regretful, "There was an old broom cabinet in that storage room. We thought we could find some flying brooms, but when we opened it, it was full of ordinary sweeping brooms. There wasn't even a trace of magic in them, so they couldn't fly at all. It was so disappointing."

"We didn't think much of it at first, just assumed it was an ordinary storage room, a place in Hogwarts used to store miscellaneous items."

George continued, "But when we hid in Filch and left, and came out of the storeroom and turned around, the storeroom had vanished into thin air, and the walls were back to their bare state, without a trace."

After listening, a look of understanding flashed in Puni's eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips.

It turns out that it was a coincidence that the twins were able to find the Room of Requirement.

This coincidence led them to the most mysterious room in Hogwarts. Thinking of this, Penny's mood brightened, and he couldn't help but say with delight, "So that's how it is, just a coincidence. But I like coincidences like this. Now that we've found the place, let's go in and take a look."

"Go in? Go in where?" Fred asked, puzzled.

"You mean, go into that storage room?" George frowned, looking reluctant. "I don't want to go in there again. It's full of dust and old junk, and those brooms that can't fly. It's not interesting at all."

The twins complained one after the other, clearly having left a bad impression on them from the shabby storage room yesterday, and their faces were full of resistance at the thought of going back in.

Seeing their conflicted expressions, Puni shook his head helplessly and patiently explained to them, "You've misunderstood. This isn't an ordinary storage room; it's called the 'Requirement Room.' As the name suggests, it opens up the corresponding room based on the user's request."

"Yesterday you were being chased by Filch and desperately needed a place to hide, so this became a storage room to provide you with a place to hide."

Puni paused, then continued, "What I want now is not a place to hide, but a room where I can hide things—or rather, a room where I can access what's hidden inside."

After saying that, Puni revealed a sly smile, waved to the twins, and gestured for them to follow him: "Come on, follow me, walk back and forth in front of this wall, and keep thinking 'I'm going to enter the room where the things are hidden.' Remember, you must concentrate and not get distracted."

As Fred followed Puni, he asked curiously, "A room for hiding things? Puni, what do you have to hide? You need such a mysterious room to hide it?"

"Could it be a love letter you received?" George joked, teasingly adding, "After all, you're so popular, there are probably quite a few girls who secretly write you love letters, and they're trying to hide them from others."

Since becoming familiar with Puni, the twins have become increasingly unrestrained, daring to make any kind of joke without any restraint.

Ignoring their teasing, Puni paced back and forth in front of the wall as he patiently explained, "I'm not trying to hide anything. On the contrary, I want to get what's hidden inside. It's something very important to me, and I suspect it's hidden in the Room of Requirement."

The three paced back and forth against the wall, silently repeating their desire to enter the hidden room, one step, two steps, three steps...

As they walked past the wall for the third time, a soft light suddenly emanated from it, not too bright.

Then, the walls began to slowly change, and a huge door gradually appeared on the originally smooth wall surface.

The door was exquisitely crafted, its surface polished to a spotless shine. The brass handle, inlaid with brass, gleamed brilliantly under the torchlight, giving it an imposing presence.

The twins stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at the suddenly appearing door. Fred couldn't help but mutter, "My God, this is completely different from the storage room door we saw yesterday. That door was just an ordinary wooden door, simple and dilapidated. It's nothing like this!"

George joined in, examining the brass handle on the door with astonishment: "Yeah, the storeroom door we saw yesterday didn't even have a handle, just a simple wooden board. This door actually has a brass handle, isn't that amazing? Does the Room of Requirement really change its appearance based on people's wishes?"

Looking at the imposing door in front of him, Puni realized he had successfully opened the Room of Requirement, and what he was looking for was behind that door.

Penny, gripping the cold brass handle, couldn't help but burst into laughter at the twins' exclamations and complaints. "Alright, alright, stop complaining about the difference in doors. Come on in, and I'll show you the treasures that generations of students at Hogwarts have secretly left behind over the years. I guarantee these things are far more magnificent than the Weasley family's wealth stored in Gringotts."

As soon as he finished speaking, George frowned immediately: "Don't talk nonsense. Our family doesn't keep anything in Gringotts, so where would we get any valuables from?"

Fred nodded in agreement, adding with a self-deprecating laugh, "It's not just that I don't store anything anymore; even if I had saved a little money before, it wouldn't have been enough to cover Gringotts' rent, so I gave up a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Puni's smile faded slightly.

He also knew about the Weasley family's situation. Although they were a pure-blood family, they were not wealthy, and could even be described as somewhat strapped for cash. They were very frugal with their daily expenses, let alone storing valuables in Gringotts.
