The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1017 The House of Requirement

After returning from Hogsmeade, Harry found himself having insomnia again, and besides having that damned nightmare, Cho had distracted most of his energy.

Harry knew in his heart that Hermione was right, and unless Cho dumped Cedric, he had no chance.This incident made Harry extremely irritated, especially when he saw Cedric and Cho holding arms and acting intimately in the corridor, Harry couldn't wait to go up and separate them, which also caused Harry to use tranquilizers more frequently recently .

Harry complained a little about why Hermione brought it up. Slowly forgetting is sometimes a good choice.

"When are you going to start?"

Harry turned his head and asked Hermione, he needed other things to distract himself, and it was a good choice to devote most of his energy to Quidditch training, but after recently starting to study the "Guide to Self-Defense", Harry hoped to find A place to practice magic.

"Everyone is free on Thursday." Hermione looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then said in a low voice, "Fred and George promised to take me to their secret base today."

"Can we go?" Ron interrupted.

"I think it should be fine."

As soon as Hermione finished speaking, Umbridge screamed angrily in the hall.

"How dare they!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of newspapers being torn to shreds, and a large piece of whispering. Everyone looked at the toad on the teacher's seat with strange eyes.

"What's the matter, toad?"

Harry looked suspiciously at the back of Umbridge who walked away in a panic.

"You haven't read today's newspaper yet!" Ron suppressed his laughter and handed Harry today's "Daily Prophet".

"Is the toad in the newspaper?"

Harry took the "Daily Prophet" and spread it out in front of the dining table. When he was about to read the first edition, he heard Ron beside him say.

"No, it's actually the Daily Prophet."

Harry found out that the Daily Prophet had actually made the headlines in his own newspaper, because the Diagon Alley headquarters of the Daily Prophet had been blown up by a pile of Howler letters.

This incident made the newspaper a hot topic in the British wizarding world.

Some said they were dissatisfied with the false reports of the "Daily Prophet", while others said they were protesting against the newspaper's beautification of Umbridge.

"Yes, I happened to be passing by, and I was almost scared out of my wits!"

According to the recollection of one participant.

He had never seen so many Howler letters exploding together.

Someone was setting off fireworks at the time, and a huge amount of magical fireworks rushed into the headquarters of the "Daily Prophet", and the scene was very spectacular.

However, it's not over yet.

When everyone's attention was attracted by the roaring letter and the fireworks, Umbridge's head appeared again, and he sang the song of the toad, which many people have heard by now.

Umbridge is now well-known by everyone, and the nickname of that pink toad probably won't be taken off in this life.

No wonder Umbridge was so angry. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a Hogwarts student was playing tricks. At least the Toad Song was passed down from Hogwarts.

"...every insider who provides valid clues will receive a reward of 100 Galleons. This is a huge reward..." Ron muttered, seeming to be considering whether to report on Fred and George.Although there was no evidence, Ron felt that this matter had something to do with the two of them.

"Do you really think someone can get this bounty?"

Fred and George appeared out of nowhere, glanced at the open newspapers, and said contemptuously: "These rewards are like farting. If they don't want to give you, even if they provide effective clues, they can still drag you down." , I won’t give you a penny. This thing is purely for looking good, don’t look at me like that, Albert’s [-] Galleon reward was lost by the Ministry of Magic last time, do you think you’re more powerful than Albert?”

"The Ministry of Magic owes Albert [-] Galleons?" Harry and Hermione were very surprised when they heard the words, "When did this happen?"

"When we threw Peter Pettigrew into Azkaban," Fred explained, "the Ministry of Magic made excuses and forfeited the money, and didn't give a Galleon."

"Because Peter Pettigrew didn't offer a reward?" Hermione asked tentatively.

"No, [-] Galleons is a bounty for catching Sirius. It has nothing to do with Peter Pettigrew. Now you understand what shit the Ministry of Magic is?" George greeted Hermione: "Okay, let's not talk about this, just keep up .”

Harry and Ron looked at each other and got up to follow.

"Where are we going?" Ron demanded.

"Shut up Ron."

After entering the secret passage, Fred stared at Ron with disgust: "Do you want everyone to know what we are going to do?"

"What are we doing here?" Ron muttered disapprovingly.

"You should keep your mouth shut first, instead of preparing to be that leaker." Fred and George pulled out their wands from the pockets of their robes, and tapped on the heads of the three of them, and a cold feeling spread across the three of them in an instant whole body.

"It's the Disillusionment Charm." Hermione recognized the spell.

"Quiet and follow!"

Fred and George took the three of Harry to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor opposite the tapestry where the troll beat Barnaba with a stick.

"There's no one around, you better hurry up!" Fred urged.

After George passed the wall opposite the tapestry three times, a very smooth door emerged from the wall.

"Okay, let's go in!" George pushed open the wooden door and took the lead into the Room of Response. Inside the door was a spacious room.

"There's such a good place hidden here." Hermione looked around in surprise.

"This is called the Room of Requirement. We found it by accident during our first-year night tour. Later, Albert found a way to use it." George spread his hands and introduced to the three of Harry: "This is the most magical place in Hogwarts." Few people in the whole school know of the existence of this place, and Umbridge certainly doesn’t know, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t be able to get in, and once someone is in the Room of Requirement, others won’t be able to get in.”

"Dumbledore should know, he mentioned it to Karkaroff at the Yule Ball." Harry remembered Dumbledore's mention of the chamber pot at the Yule banquet.

"Of course, there are other people who know." Fred and George didn't bother with these questions, and continued to introduce, "This is the place where we used to practice magic. I remember that George and I used to hide behind the pillars and chanted spells at each other. , to train the accuracy of the spell."

"It's great here, but there's not enough space." Harry had been looking at this room since just now, and it was difficult to accommodate more than [-] people to practice magic together.

"Don't worry, the space inside can be expanded according to needs." George comforted, "You can think 'we need a place to learn to fight' at that time, and the Room of Requirement will become such a place, even if the whole school students come It's all enough."

"Secretly tell you that Albert has always wanted to crack the secret of the Room of Requirement, but he failed."
