Chapter Eighty-Five: The Room of Responsiveness
"I've been living in school for a year and I've never found a place like this. Ryan said with some confusion.
Nick didn't seem to believe it when he heard Ryan's tone, and hurriedly said, "I know this place for more than two hundred years, and countless students have found this place in the middle. It's a pity that the students who know about this place keep it a secret, so it's normal that you don't know. ”
"Where's that place?" Ryan asked, he could already roughly guess what Nick was talking about.
"It's called the Room of Requirement, and you go across from the tapestry on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle where the troll stick hits Silly Barnabas. Then concentrate on thinking about the space you need, and after walking through that section of the wall three times, a very smooth door will appear on the wall to enter the Room of Requirement. It's just that almost no one knows about this place among the current students, and lately it's mostly used by some Hogwarts Castle house-elves. ”
Sure enough, there is a room for requirement, Ryan thought to himself. Now he can finally use the house, after all, once he used to use this house, it would attract unnecessary attention and suspicion. As a wizard from a family with nothing to do with the wizarding world, he should theoretically not be aware of the existence of the Room of Requirement. And today's questioning of Nick finally gave Ryan a reasonable excuse to find the Room of Requirement.
After saying goodbye to Nick, Ryan returns to his dorm room to pack up and get ready for class. Just after the first class, he was rushing to the next class classroom when he saw two senior students walking towards the school hospital with a stretcher suspended by magic.
"The diary is in my hand, why is there still an accident?, but why do some people show regret on their faces, some people have happy faces on their faces, but no one shows a scared expression?" Ryan entered the classroom with a puzzled head. As soon as he arrived, he received shocking news: Lockhart had been taken to the hospital with his injuries.
After questioning his classmates and synthesizing what he knew, Ryan deduced what had happened: because Ryan's actions in class yesterday made Lockhart feel that he was not capable of standing out. So today, when he was teaching the senior students, he chose a runiwen snake to the class, hoping to calm the senior students.
So when he went to the basement to retrieve the Runi Snake in the potions storehouse, he was unfortunately bitten by the Runiwen Snake. Fortunately, Professor Snape was in the Potions class next door and rushed to the rescue when he heard the commotion. Otherwise, Hogwarts will probably have to change Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher this year.
After learning the news, Ryan had to admit that Professor Lockhart was a wolf, and he didn't even want his life in order to maintain his glorious image. From this it can be seen that although he may not be a qualified teacher, he is definitely a qualified idol, not much worse than those idols who burn to sixty degrees Celsius and insist on contacting twenty-six hours a day.
However, when it was Defence Against the Dark Arts class two days later, Ryan began to sincerely hope that Professor Lockhart would get better soon. Because Headmaster Dumbledore actually asked Professor Snape to substitute for the teacher.
It was Saturday morning, and Ryan had woken up early, as it was time to make an appointment with Hermione to learn how to fight magic.
After breakfast together, Ryan led Hermione to the eighth floor across from the tapestry where the troll stick beat Silly Barnabas. The troll on the tapestry stopped beating Barnabas and looked at the two men curiously.
"We're going to practice magic, why are we here? It doesn't look like there's anything here. ”
"Rest easy, this is where Nick the Gryffindor Ghost told me that he shouldn't lie to me. After saying that, Ryan focused his thoughts: I want a place to practice fighting. When he turned around for the third time, Hermione next to him whispered, "Ryan, look." ”
Where Ryan looked like Hermione's finger, there was a door in what had been a bare wall. Ryan grabbed the doorknob and opened it, then beckoned Hermione and said, "Come in, it looks safe here." ”
When the two of them walked in the door, they found that the room was very spacious. The room has no windows, and the light source comes from torches on the wall. There is a row of bookshelves next to the wall, and the shelves are full of books.
There was a large pile of instruments at the other end of the room, and Ryan could only recognize a few things that had appeared in the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbooks. In the center of the room was a bunch of large satin cushions, which should be of the same nature as the upholstery of the sports field. Used to protect people who practice here.
Hermione immediately rushed to the bookshelf, excitedly stroking the spine of the rows of sheepskin-faced thick books. Then he turned to Ryan and said, "Look at these books!, "Common Spells and Solutions", "Outwitting the Black Magic", "Self-Defense Spells". These books look more complete than the books in the library. ”
Looking at Hermione, who was eager to try, Ryan quickly interrupted her, "Let's practice first, anyway, we will have time to read these books in a while." They won't run away here. ”
After that, the two of them practiced the content of the last disarming spell. It seems that Hermione has been practicing a lot of time in private since she returned, and she has not only practiced magic, but also exercised her body. So this time she was much more skilled in her magic attacks than last time.
Under Ryan's slight release, Hermione finally knocked Ryan's wand flying, which made her look excited. Ryan shrugged, teaching is what it looks like, and it has to be a sense of accomplishment for the learner. Otherwise, a prolonged failure can seriously hit a person's self-confidence.
After Hermione's excitement passed, the two began to discuss what to learn today, and Hermione had planned to further study offensive spells, such as the Stun Charm. However, Ryan managed to convince her to learn armor.
After finding out how to use armor on the Self-Defense Charms, Hermione began his regular learning method: memorization. Ryan, on the other hand, picked up a book from the shelf and read it.
After a while, Hermione mastered the spell, and the two began to learn martial arts. Give yourself an armor shield at the same time, then fire a disarming charm at the opponent.
After practicing for a while, Hermione clearly noticed the difference between the two: the armor amulet was to instantly build a wall around her that was invisible to the eye to block the magic that flew towards her, but her armor could only block Ryan's attacks, and Ryan could bounce his attacks back with the armor.
During a break after more than an hour of practice, Hermione sat down on her mat and said to Ryan, "It seems that your talent is better than mine in this area, and I should only be suitable for working with books." ”
"Don't say that, I'm not as good as you think, as long as you practice enough, you can do it. Ryan encouraged, and he still had a word in his heart. That is, if you fight a horde of 100,000 zombies, it won't take you a few days before you'll be proficient in all the magic you need and how to use it properly to fight.
