Study Days at Hogwarts

Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

If you were the designer of Ravenclaw's knowledge treasury, you would naturally want more students to obtain knowledge from it, so that there would be nothing left in the treasury that could be easily taken away.

No one can guarantee that all the students here will be found to be of high character.

Then, the real treasure must still be in that secret room.

But what about things?

Albert guessed that he must be hiding.

Ravenclaw selects smart students through screening. The first hurdle is the eagle ring, and only those who answer the riddle correctly are eligible to enter. So why can't there be a second hurdle or even a third hurdle?

There should be a secret door in the secret room, or something similar, but what would be the key to open it?

Albert was eating and thinking about the problem. He tapped his fork lightly on the plate, thinking carefully about the clues that he might have missed.

There are only two things in the secret room, the eternal fire: Gubulai's fairy fire, and the ancient magic text.

What if eternal fire was used for lighting?

Then the possibility will lie in the ancient magic script.

Professor Broad and Professor Smith may have had such doubts, so they asked themselves to translate those things.

However, the wizards in the past used ancient magic scripts.

What did you overlook?

Albert felt as if he had touched something.

What’s so special about ancient magic texts?

By the way, runes are magical words.

There is also the saying that extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind. Perhaps this is the key to opening the secret door.

However, it is not easy to reach that level. Albert once guessed that when the magic writing skill reaches the third level, he may be able to initially gain access to that level.

If that's really the case...

Albert was just about to open the skill panel when a voice suddenly rang in his ears. It was the house elf Kara, who looked at him uneasily.

"Kara, is something wrong?" Albert looked up and asked.

"Sir, don't these foods suit your appetite?" Carla asked slightly uneasily.

"No, it's delicious. I'm just thinking about something." Albert's eyes fell on the plate in front of him. Basically, he didn't eat much of the food. It's no wonder that the house elf said this.

As he spoke, he destroyed most of the food in a few mouthfuls.

When Kara heard Albert's answer, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at him.

However, being interrupted by the house elf, Albert stopped checking his skills in a hurry. He hurriedly finished the food, got up and left the kitchen.

The castle was still empty and the Quidditch game wasn't over yet.

It's already half past three in the afternoon.

Albert put away his pocket watch, walked to the window next to him, and looked outside the castle through the glass. The heavy rain had stopped.

"Do you want to go?"

He hesitated for a moment, then walked toward the Quidditch pitch alone.

Due to the rain, the road was muddy. As soon as he approached the Quidditch pitch, Albert could feel a lively atmosphere rushing towards his face. He opened the door and walked quietly along the stairs, his eyes falling on On several figures intertwined above.

After a moment, Lee Jordan shouted from the distance, "Gryffindor scored, the current score is 140:180, Ravenclaw is temporarily in the lead."

The two sides actually got into a tug of war.

However, the difference in scores is not big. As long as Charlie can catch the Golden Snitch, Gryffindor will win.

"I thought you wouldn't come to the game."

Albert turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. It was Isobel. She was walking towards this direction, holding a pair of binoculars in her hand.

"Um."

Albert responded and turned his attention to the top of the court again.

"It seems that you also discovered the secret." Isobel was not angry because of Albert's attitude, but just said something unpredictable.

Albert suddenly turned back and stared at Isobel.

"You used Legilimency on me? No..." Albert didn't think Isobel could break through his Occlumency. Even if she really used Legilimency on him, he couldn't be unaware of it.

So, that means...she knew about that?

"What secret." Albert pretended not to understand.

Isobel glanced at Albert and didn't answer.

"Do you mean the Room of Requirement?" Albert would not let both parties fall into silence, because that would mean that it would be difficult for him to obtain other information.

"Yes." Isobel nodded imperceptibly.

"I didn't find what I wanted." Albert frowned, thinking that Isobel could provide him with some information.

"No, I just found relevant records in the literature."

"Don't say you haven't been in before?" Albert frowned.

"My ancient magic texts are not as good as yours!" Isobel glanced at Albert and said lightly. "It's very difficult for me to understand the ancient magic text in it."

"Perhaps Ravenclaw has never thought that runes will eventually become a thing of the past!" Albert suddenly sighed. He felt that the knowledge in the treasure house of knowledge is reserved for students. After all, only students and professors can It's possible to be at Hogwarts and discover the secrets there.

"It seems that you have gained nothing!" Isobel's tone contained disappointment that could not be concealed.

"Where did you know that secret?" Albert asked curiously.

"And you?"

Both sides fell silent again.

Finally, the strange atmosphere was broken by the cheers of the venue. Seekers from both sides were competing for the Golden Snitch. The audience on the court all stood up and their eyes fell on this competition. Whoever catches the Golden Snitch will win for themselves. The team brings victory.

However, there seems to be a force in the dark that allows the game to continue. While the two Seekers were fighting for each other, the Golden Snitch actually slipped away again.

The people who were originally ready to cheer for the winner could only turn all their emotions into boos of dissatisfaction.

"Professor Broad and Professor Smith came to Hogwarts for this?" Albert felt that Isobel should know something. She knew these two professors and had a close relationship.

"You don't know?" Isobel put down her binoculars and looked at Albert, with a hint of weirdness in her tone.

"what do you know?"

"Nothing." Isobel didn't seem to want to answer Albert's question.

Albert looked at Isobel deeply, and he found that he couldn't see through the guy in front of him.

Is there anything you haven't noticed?

"You mean an invitation to join some loosely organized group?" Albert thought of last Easter's invitation and the circle Dagworth was talking about.

"You will know later." Isobel did not answer, or was not prepared to answer, so she turned and left.

"You guessed it right? At least part of it was right." Albert looked at Isobel's leaving back and couldn't help but muttered, "She is really a woman full of secrets."
