"Oh my God, where is this place? I never knew there was such a large library on the eighth floor of the castle!" Hermione rushed to the bookshelf in surprise and flipped through a book called "Medieval Curse: Body Protection Curse".

Silver said: "I think you will like it here. This is the legendary secret treasure of Hogwarts, the house of requests, the heart of Hogwarts."

"A house that asks for something? But this seems to be just a hidden library." Hermione put down the "Medieval Curse Collection: The Protective Curse" and picked up another book "The Truth Hidden Behind History: The Wizard War".

"Because this room can only be entered when a person really needs it. It sometimes doesn't, but when it appears, it is always arranged to meet the needs of the helper," Silver said.

"I can demonstrate it to you." He pulled out a chair out of thin air. "That's it. Whatever you need, the house will provide you with permission within your authority. Of course, things like food and life that violate Gamp's basic law of deformation cannot be transformed out of thin air."

"Don't look at it as a library now. This is because when I entered it just now, I thought in my mind that I needed a library and it became a library. In fact, if you want it to be a classroom, there is no problem with the storage room and other things. In history, there have been countless students who have used this room, but there are no more than five people who really understand this room and know how to use it." Silver waved his hand and the chair in the room disappeared again.

"It's amazing!" Hermione said in surprise. "There is no mention of this house that is always in Hogwarts: A School History."

"Because this house was built by four Hogwarts founders, it's a secret. When Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin established Hogwarts Castle, there was a very bold idea - they wanted to build a living castle - Hermione, you heard it right - they really wanted to build a living castle. The House of Requests was built as a castle center. They revitalized the house with powerful magic and extraordinary wisdom - so the House of Requests can be considered artificial life, just like the intelligent computer envisioned by Muggles - the House of Requests can find out what people want to do, and it will satisfy users as much as possible."

"Will Gryffindor and the others succeed-"

"They were half successful." Silver shrugged. "Hogwarts is too big. It took four creators a full five years to revitalize the entire Hogwarts. It is conceivable that this is simply an impossible task - so they compromised and semi-activated the Hogwarts Castle. Now the automatically moving stairs in our academy and the walls that appear from time to time are the manifestations of semi-activated. As the only experimental subject, the House of Requests was hidden by the four creators, and it was secretly revealed. Over time, no one knew about it."

"Why did they revitalize the entire castle? I admit that this room is indeed very convenient, but even if not, it would be nothing for Hogwarts Academy." Hermione asked in confusion.

"You're right to ask this question. The answer is very simple. They are trying to deal with external troubles. If the entire Hogwarts Castle can be activated, Hogwarts can easily resist the siege of Muggles and the invasion of evil wizards. The era was very unstable. Muggles were afraid of wizards and surrounded and killed wizards under the command of those who were interested. At that time, wizards were not very good at hiding themselves. The expulsion of Muggles and the inability to mark the spell have not been invented. If Muggles were willing, they could have gathered a large-scale army to encircle Hogwarts - even four academies.

Great wizards like the creator cannot protect those underage wizards under the attack of an army. Those evil wizards are even more troublesome. They are different from the dark wizards mentioned now. If you are interested, you can check the previous information. Compared with the evil wizards in the past, the dark wizards are simply purer than the little white rabbit. Those evil wizards are willing to find a lot of younger brothers to conquer the country and be the boss. Hogwarts does seem to be a very good base for military sources. In order to deal with this kind of trouble, the four creators started to think about revitalizing the castle."

"Jack, how could you know so many things? These things are absolutely not recorded in the book. Where did you know them?"

"Of course it was Ravenclaw who told me himself." Silver thought so, but said, "Hermione, these are very ancient secrets. I got some words from the oldest records of the family and then looked up many ancient books to draw this conclusion."

Hermione narrowed her eyes and showed a very dangerous look: "Although your explanation is reasonable, I always feel that you are hiding something from me."

"Haha, how is that possible? I don't need to deceive you, Hermione, are you right?" Silver yelled and said intimately that this woman's intuition was really extraordinary, even if she was just a little girl.

Fortunately, Hermione is still young and easy to fool. Silver played a few tricks and successfully diverted Hermione's attention and made her continue to indulge in the sea of ​​books. As a result, when she was about to leave, Hermione was reluctant to leave--

"Jack, let me stay for a while."

"No, Hermione, it's almost time for dinner now, you can't stop eating. You can come to this house at any time if you want it - if you really like it, you can also bring two books out. These books are books that have been lost in school over the years, and it doesn't matter if you borrow it at all - Hermione, don't take so many, you can't move..."

———————————————————————————————————

At this time, Harry had to pay the price for Menglang's behavior when he took a speed to the school at the beginning of the semester - he had to help Professor Lohart reply to his admirers.

"Harry, you know, I receive thousands of letters from such fans every day..."

"It's really hard to refuse the kindness. Countess Venica Mesley always invites me to spend the weekend night at her castle..."

"Harry, as a celebrity, you always have more worries than ordinary people, which is the price you have to pay..."

"Harry, when you reach my age, you may be as successful as me, as long as you accept my guidance seriously..."

"Famous is a capricious friend, Harry..."

"Remember, celebrities must have the airs of celebrities. You must learn to be approachable when it is time to approach, and to put on airs when it is time to put on airs, Harry."

Time passed like a snail. Harry let Lockhart talk there, and occasionally answered "um", "ah", "yes". But Lockhart didn't realize it and was still talking nonstop.

The candles burned shorter and shorter, and the flames were beating on many moving faces of Lockhart who were staring at them. Ha used his sore hands to write Veronica Smesley's address, feeling that this was the first thousand envelope. Time was coming, Harry thought painfully, please come soon... Suddenly he heard a sound - a sound that was completely different from the crackling sound of the candle or Lockhart's nagging.

It was a voice, a creepy, breathing stopped, cold and vicious voice. "Come on—Come on. Let me tear you—Tear you—Kill you.” Harry jumped suddenly, and a large ball of lilac-colored ink stains appeared on the street name of Veronica Smesley's address. "What?" he said loudly.

"I know!" said Lockhart, "stop the bestseller list for six consecutive months! An unprecedented record! "No," said Harry madly, "that voice!" "I'm sorry," asked Lockhart in confusion, "what voice? "" "That voice said-didn't you hear it?" Lockhart looked at Harry in shock.

"What are you talking about, Harry? You might be a little sleepy, are you? God - look at what time it's already! We've been here for nearly four hours! I can't believe it - time flies so fast, right?"

Harry did not answer. He pricked up his ears and listened to the voice, but there was no more. He only heard Lockhart nagging him, saying that he should not expect such good luck every time he was punished to stay in school. Harry left with a lot of doubt.

There was almost no one in the common room in Gryffindor. Harry went straight upstairs and returned to the dormitory. Ron had not come back yet. Harry put on his pajamas and lay on the bed to wait. An hour later, Ron came in with his right arm rubbing his right arm, bringing the smell of a dice detergent to the dark room.

"My muscles are stiff." He groaned and fell on the bed. "He asked me to rush the Quidditch trophy for fourteen times before I was satisfied. Later, while I was rubbing a medal for the 'Special Contribution Award to the School', the damn cat peed there. It must have been Felch's instructions. It took me half a century to wash off the smell-Felch, the old guy, I got the chance to take him..."
