The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 408 Starting from the Room of Requirement (Two in One)

From the Hogwarts campus to Hogsmeade, there are many secret passages...

Although due to the recent state of emergency, most of them are closed by Aurors and kept alive under strict guard.

But there are still a few trails that are good enough to get into the campus, such as the screaming shack, and the basement of the "Honey Dukes" candy store...

Although these paths can help Jon Hart sneak into Hogwarts in the middle of the night.

But the intuition in his mind told Jon: choosing the Pig's Head Bar would bring him good luck.

Therefore, Jon took Astoria's hand without hesitation and walked towards the Pig's Head Bar.

...

Pass the post office on Central Avenue, turn into a small road next to it, and there is a small bar at the intersection...

A tattered wooden signboard hung from rusty brackets over the door, with a picture of a severed pig's head, blood seeping through the white cloth it was wrapped in.

On the dilapidated wooden signboard, the name of this bar was written - "Pig's Head Bar".

"It looks so dirty here..." Astoria whispered, "It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've come here."

"...It also seems to have a smell of sheep..." After sniffing hard, she added another sentence, with a somewhat disgusted expression on her face.

"It's okay, just be patient for a while." Jon reminded easily, then walked to the greasy bar door and knocked heavily.

"Yeah!" Astoria nodded behind her.

"It's such a big night..." A tired voice sounded from inside the bar.

Ten seconds later, with the sound of dull footsteps, the door of the bar was opened...

The person who opened the door was the male waiter of the Pig's Head Bar, an old man with a strange temper, tall and thin, with long gray hair and beard.

"Who the hell is it late at night, came to my place and knocked on the door..." the male waiter complained loudly, with a hint of impatience in his voice.

But when he saw the "uninvited guest" outside the door, the expression on his face froze.

"Hart?" Aberforth Dumbledore asked in a low voice, "How did you come to me?"

"Hello, Mr. Dumbledore." Jon said politely: "Can I excuse you, I want to go back to Hogwarts Castle!"

"Excuse me?" Aberforth Dumbledore's face covered by long, rope-like hair was even more puzzled.

He pushed his glasses, and the sharp, wise blue eyes hidden behind the dirty lenses blinked in confusion.

"To be honest, I don't quite understand!" He said in a deep voice, "It's so late at night, the gate of Hogwarts must be closed... If you want to stay with me for one night... the room fee is six silver Sike..."

"No, I just want to excuse myself!" Jon shook his head, and then rushed into the Pig's Head Bar.

"Wait!" Aberforth Dumbledore seemed a little annoyed, but then, when he saw the girl standing outside the door with a somewhat embarrassed face——

His slightly aged face was stunned for a moment, and then a rare softness appeared.

"Hello... sir..." Astoria raised her hand timidly, greeting the male waiter at the Pig's Head Bar.

"Come in, girl!" Aberforth Dumbledore coughed softly, and then stepped out of the way.

...

"Hello, sir... are you a friend of Jon?" Astoria asked softly.

"No..." Aberforth replied, "But my brother has a good relationship with him, so I can recognize him."

You look so old, so how old should your brother be... Astoria thought to himself.

But she didn't say anything...

And Aberforth treated her very politely, or courteously, even a little too courteously.

"Are you going to spend the night with me?" Aberforth continued to ask.

"No...Jon said he wanted to go back to Hogwarts from you..." Astoria replied.

"Go back to Hogwarts from me?" Aberforth snorted coldly, "Are you kidding... So there is a secret way back to Hogwarts from the Pig's Head Bar... Why didn't I know?"

Astoria didn't know how to answer, so she smiled awkwardly.

An old man and a young man entered this small, dark, very dirty room. Astoria could smell it, and there was a stronger smell of mutton in the room.

The bay windows were thick with grime, barely letting in the light from outside, and candle stubs were burning on rough wooden tables. At first glance, I thought the ground was compacted mud, but when I stepped on it, I realized that centuries of dirt had accumulated on the originally stone-paved ground.

"Do you need some drinks... Honey wine, butter beer, or Bordeaux wine!" Aberforth Dumbledore asked softly, very attentively.

"Forget it...forget it..." Astoria quickly shook his head: "Where is...Jon?"

"Hart..." Aberforth's face changed suddenly, and he glanced at the living room, but found no trace of Jon: "Damn...he couldn't..."

Aberforth Dumbledore hurried towards the basement.

"Sir!" Astoria exclaimed, and she quickly followed the male waiter at the Pig's Head Bar.

...

They ran behind the counter, through another door, and quickly down a flight of wooden stairs to the basement.

The basement was covered with solid carpets, and the furnishings looked much neater than the sloppy exterior... Above the small fireplace, hung a huge oil painting.

But the oil painting is empty, nothing.

Jon Hart, sitting in front of the painting, seemed to be waiting for something.

"What did you do!" Aberforth walked up to Jon, grabbed his collar, and growled, "Where is Ariana... Where did you take her?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Dumbledore!" Jon quickly raised his hand, pointing to the portrait at the same time: "Look, she's back!"

On that empty oil painting, a small white dot appeared at the end of the painting - a very beautiful girl with golden curly hair was walking towards them step by step.

She didn't simply walk into the frame from one side like the people in the general portraits, but walked along a long passage that seemed to be painted behind her...

Ariana Dumbledore walked towards them step by step, looking bigger and bigger.

The path behind her also became longer and longer; moreover, it was bottomless.

"This...how could..." Aberforth stood there dumbfounded, looking at the empty corridor behind his sister.

At this moment, Arianna had already walked in front of them.

She smiled sweetly at Jon, and there seemed to be a hint of "asking for credit" in her smile.

"Thank you, Miss Dumbledore..." Jon said gently, bowing gracefully to her at the same time.

The girl's face turned red immediately, she was a little shy, and seemed to want to turn around... But she squinted at another "stranger" beside her...

Arianna on the oil painting couldn't help being stunned, then she raised her hand and greeted Astoria.

"Hello...Miss...Dumbledore...Miss Dumbledore..." Astoria was also dazed for a moment, and then smiled at her politely.

"Let's go, let's go back to Hogwarts!" Jon grabbed Astoria's hand, and finally made a farewell gesture to Ariana.

Then, the whole painting opened like a small door, revealing the entrance of a real secret passage.

Jon and Astoria got into the secret passage together.

"Wait a minute, Hart!" Aberforth Dumbledore roared behind him: "Why do you know that Ariana's portrait can lead to Hogwarts... even my brother can't do not know?"

"Goodbye, Mr. Dumbledore!" Jon did not answer his question directly, but said goodbye: "Farewell!"

...

"Lumos!"

A faint light illuminated the pitch-black secret passage and illuminated their way forward.

"Jon...you just called them..." Astoria walked forward cautiously, and asked in disbelief: "Mr. Dumbledore and Miss Dumbledore...then they and ours?" headmaster……"

"That's right...they are the brothers and sisters of Principal Albus Dumbledore!" Jon replied simply.

"My God...it's unbelievable..." Astoria said in surprise, "I've never heard of...Professor Dumbledore and his living relatives..."

"There are still many things you don't know!" Jon said jokingly: "For example, you should have never heard of the place we will arrive at..."

"Yes, then I expect you to bring me a surprise!" Astoria smiled sweetly, and then said softly: "Miss Dumbledore...she looks a bit like me!"

"Oh?"

"It's only a little bit...we both have golden curly hair..." Astoria looked a little embarrassed: "so Mr. Dumbledore may have misunderstood me for his sister for a moment just now, and then treated me specially it is good……"

"So Aberforth also let his guard down on me, allowing me to break into the room where Arianna's portrait is!" Jon thought secretly.

It has to be said that the effect of Felicia Elixir can be said to be amazing.

But I don't know what good luck the encounter at the Pig's Head Bar will bring him...

At this time, the passage began to rise, and the road became more and more difficult to walk.

Turning a corner, the end of the passage was in front of them. There's also a short flight of stairs leading to a door similar to the one behind Ariana's portrait.

Jon flung open the door, and said aloud:

"Welcome to the Room of Requirement!"

...

"The Room of Requirement?" Astoria Greengrass repeated the slightly unfamiliar name softly.

She walked through the door in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh my god...it's so beautiful!"

Yes, the Room of Requirement has become very beautiful——

Bright brocade drapes hang on the dark wood-panelled, windowless walls, and a pink hammock sits against the ceiling, alongside a curtained bathtub.

In addition, there is a crucible for preparing potions, and a workbench for making magic items... On the workbench, there are many dark books piled up.

Jon went to pick up the top one - the title was A Study and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

The other books are basically related to black magic...Maybe there may be useful content for making Horcruxes.

"You said, this is the Room of Requirement... I've never heard of it..." Astoria happily sat on the hammock, and asked curiously, "Have we arrived at Hogwarts now?"

"That's right... This is a magical room, also known as the 'come and go room', it comes and goes, and only when a person needs it can come in." Jon nodded: "It's located in Hogwarts. Opposite the tapestry where the troll beats Barnabas silly with a club on the eighth floor of the Castle of Ciss."

"It's incredible..." Astoria exclaimed, "It would be even better if there was a pillow in the hammock!"

Just as Astoria finished speaking, a soft pillow suddenly appeared beside her, almost startling her.

Jon lowered his head, checked the workbench and the cauldron, and finally confirmed if there was any problem.

"Jon, what do you mean..." Astoria looked up and asked in a low voice, "Are we here to start making Horcruxes?"

"That's right!" Jon nodded, and at the same time he had already taken out all the materials for making Horcruxes, as well as those hallucinogenic herbs that could split souls, from the suitcase, and put them on the workbench and the cauldron side.

He has already started!

...

Learning from the scene he saw from the memory of the giantess when he used "Legilitivization"... Jon added wormwood, kava pepper root, peyot cactus and other herbs into the crucible, and then patiently poured them into the crucible. They are mashed into juice.

Then, he carefully collected the juice and put it into a crystal bottle.

Looking back, he and Astoria explained: "Let's start with the first step...I first need to smooth the contours of your soul..."

Astoria's face turned red... She said in a mosquito-like voice, "Are you going to smear those things all over my body..."

"It should be..." Jon nodded awkwardly.

Astoria looked around, and finally focused on the bathtub covered by curtains.

"That... you are absolutely not allowed to peek later..." She lowered her head and whispered, "Did you hear that?"

"I swear!" Jon said hastily.

Astoria got in slowly, and climbed into the bathtub.

Jon also turned around, trying not to listen to the rustling voices inside...
