In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

The bustling Hogwarts Castle becomes silent at night.

Jon walked 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. Wooden stand for potions.

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 the compound soup is boiling the 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 his 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 that was all around, and Jon didn't find anything that looked like a ring, let alone a crown.

The Horcrux has been taken away by Voldemort.

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

The reason for Voldemort's current changes is very likely to be related to his Horcrux. Since the multiple soul separations have made him become more and more crazy and irrational, then getting his soul back, He will inevitably turn back into the "Tom Riddle" he once was.

Jon did not stay in the Room of Requirement any longer. He exited the room, and then watched the door slowly disappear into the wall in front of his eyes.

There was still a long time left in the night, and he actually still had a lot of plans he wanted to make, such as going to the library in the castle, or going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, or... taking a look. In front of him was the principal's office, less than twenty paces away.

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

Of course he wouldn't do something so reckless as going in directly, but sooner or later he would have to figure out what was going on in this office, so why not tonight?

I work overtime as soon as the weekend comes and I can’t take it anymore. I’ll get up and write again after I have a break tomorrow. Try to have as many chapters as possible to compensate for the spread of updates in the past two days.
