Chapter 76 75 All Requests Will Be Granted

Chapter 76 75. Respond to requests

The bustling Hogwarts Castle becomes silent at night.

Jon went up the stairs, and reached the eighth floor on the stairs that were no longer as lively and quiet as during the day.

This floor is not only restricted for Mudblood students, but also for other mixed-blood and pure-blood students.

Because the current owner of Hogwarts Castle, Voldemort's principal's office is here. Although he basically only comes to Hogwarts Castle once every school year on the first day of school, he himself does not have half the authority in the school. reduce.

Coupled with the express prohibitions from Vice Principal Snape and Castle Administrator Dolohov, no student even thought of going near the principal's office.

After Jon arrived on the eighth floor, he did not go directly to the principal's office, even though his lurking target was most likely in this office.

With a clear goal, he came to the blank wall opposite the tapestry of "The Troll Beats Barnabas" and wandered back and forth three times wearing the invisibility cloak.

"I need a room that only Jon Grimm can open for refining potions."

He repeated this sentence silently in his mind, and before he knew it, an ordinary-looking door appeared on the blank wall.

Jon focused his attention on the door and did not open it rashly. Instead, he stood there and took a deep breath. At the same time, he put his left hand into his sleeve and touched the stick that had been hidden in his clothes. Fox feathers under sleeve.

Opening the Room of Requirement was a gamble for him.

This room, which was only discovered by Harry Potter later in the original book, was actually found by Voldemort as early as his student days, and later he hid the Ravenclaw diadem that was made into a Horcrux. in.

Jon didn't know if Voldemort's Horcrux was still there, and if so, whether it was still stored in the Room of Requirement, but it was certain that Voldemort knew about the existence of this secret room.

Since he knew it, he might make some arrangements here, so opening the Room of Requirement was a very risky move for Jon.

But he had to take this risk, because there was no other place in Hogwarts Castle where he could brew Polyjuice Potion, a potion that took nearly a month to successfully refine without being discovered.

In the original book, the place where Hermione refined the polyjuice potion was in the girls' bathroom where Myrtle usually resided. Because of Myrtle, few people went into that bathroom, but now there is one in the entire castle. There were no ghosts to be found, Myrtle was no longer there, and the girls' bathroom was certainly not abandoned.

If he couldn't make the Polyjuice Potion, then the next infiltration would be a joke.

Jon adjusted his condition to the best, then stretched out his right hand hidden under the invisibility cloak and placed it on the door handle of the door. He put a little more force on it, and then the door was easily opened by him from the outside.

Behind the door is an empty room. There is a cauldron in the middle of the room. Next to the cauldron is a set of brand-new tables and chairs. There is also a stack of blank parchment, quills and ink on it. There are also walls to store materials and finished products. Potions wooden stand.

This is a room that belongs to Jon alone. Unless someone in this castle knows the name "Jon Green", no one can find it.

Even after entering the room, he did not take off the invisibility cloak, but stayed inside for another ten minutes before Jon could be slightly sure that Voldemort did not seem to have made any arrangements for this room.

Thinking about it, if he really had the ability to monitor the Room of Requirement at any time, he should have carried out such monitoring when he stored the Horcrux in it, and he would not have let Harry enter and get it so easily in the original book. To the crown.

After ensuring that it was really safe, Jon quickly poured out all the potion ingredients in the bag, burned the crucible, and then put dozens of lacewings in.

The most time-consuming part of compound soup is boiling lacewings. It needs to be boiled for 21 days before it can be used as medicine. Moreover, this thing cannot be stored and used at any time after cooking. It must be cooked within 21 days. Use it the next day, otherwise it will become a pile of waste later.

But fortunately, Jon doesn't need to keep looking here while the worms are being cooked. He only needs to take a look at it every once in a while to make sure there is no problem.

The boiled cauldron was bubbling, leaving all the potion ingredients here, and Jon exited the Room of Requirement.

Since Voldemort had not tampered with this room, he could be certain of other things.

He continued to wander back and forth in front of the wall, mentally asking for a room to hide things.

Then a door that was exactly the same as before appeared in front of him. Jon opened the door and walked in, arriving at a space as big as a small square.

There are all kinds of discarded debris piled here, including lame desks and chairs, flying broomsticks broken in two, damaged statues and portraits with broken frames.

Jon searched carefully among all kinds of piles of sundries. According to the impression in his memory, he searched for about twenty or thirty minutes before he found the wooden cabinet with blistered surface. On top of the cabinet was There is a statue of a wizard covered in pockmarks and wearing a wig on his head.

But there were only these around, and Jon did not find anything suspicious as a ring, let alone a crown.

The Horcrux had been taken away by Voldemort.

Although this trip did not bring Jon any actual gains, it also confirmed a guess in his heart.

The reason why Voldemort has changed now is very likely related to his Horcruxes. Since the multiple soul divisions have made him more and more crazy and lost his mind, if he gets his soul back, he will definitely become the "Tom Riddle" he once was.

Jon did not stay in the Room of Requirement any longer. He left the room and watched the door slowly disappear in the wall in front of him.

There was still a lot of time left in the night, and he actually had a lot of plans to do, such as going to the library in the castle, or going to the office of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, or. Go and take a look at the principal's office less than twenty steps in front of him.

Jon, shrouded in the invisibility cloak, stared at the door of the principal's office. After hesitating for half a minute, he took a step forward.

Of course he wouldn't do such a rash thing as going in directly, but he would find out what the situation in this office is sooner or later, so why not tonight?

I work overtime every weekend and can't bear it anymore. I will write again when I get up tomorrow to rest. I will try to write a few more chapters to compensate for the slow update in the past two days.
