The second meeting, the day before Christmas, came as promised.

In the evening, the sky will be dark, fine snowflakes decorate the Hogwarts castle like catkins, after dinner, Augustus went to the Room of Requirement alone, although Christmas has not yet arrived, the festive atmosphere has enveloped every part of the castle, large and small Christmas lanterns hang high in the air, floating around the hanging ladder, the lights flicker colorful dreamy light, step through the floating stairs, the tall buildings are already sparsely populated.

Standing in front of the giant picture on the eighth floor, Augustus waited for a moment, a bronze door flashed, pushed open the giant door, the torches in the room lit up, the dim light filled the room, and above the roof, more than a hundred golden balls kept floating, making a crisp wind chime sound.

With a tap, an ancient scroll flew out of the bookshelf in the corner, and he sat down in the chair with the scroll in his hand, quietly waiting for the others to arrive.

The golden balls above the room kept colliding with each other, and the sound of Ding Dong was like a clear spring, constantly changing all kinds of rhythms and notes, as if playing a beautiful symphony, and in the quiet room, the firelight flickered on the yellowed scroll, and Augustus held the scroll in one hand, staring quietly.

The door creaked open, and Autumn walked in alone, finding Augustus sitting alone in the room, and a flash of joy flashed in Aki's inky black pupils.

"Hello, Mr. Augustus." With a quiet smile on his face, Qiu pointed to the golden balls and clusters of green drooping vegetation on the roof of the room, "It's beautiful, did you arrange it?" ”

Augustus put the book down, shook his head, and said, "No, it should be made by house-elves." ”

"Well, the sound of these little golden balls is very good, but I don't know what these plants are, and the smell is very fresh." Qiu Zhang asked curiously.

"Mistletoe," said Luna Lovegood, who walked in as if dreaming, "be careful, it often has a hook in it." ”

Augustus smiled dumbly and picked up the scroll again.

Qiu Qingli's face showed a hint of helplessness, and she secretly regretted that she should have come earlier.

After a while, Angelina, Katie, and Alya entered, all three girls panting and looking frozen enough.

Gradually, there were more people, and they came in pairs, and the room was slowly filled with people.

At about eight o'clock, when the party had arrived, Augustus put down the scroll in his hand, got up from his chair, and with a slight tap, the fire was extinguished, and the room was lit up with a bright star.

The conversation grew quieter, and all eyes were fixed on Augustus, waiting for him to speak.

"This week, among you, in the matter of building the magic string, the speed is uneven, fast or slow, but there is no doubt that everyone has not slackened and has done a very good job," Augustus said with satisfaction in his tone, "Talent is not the key to cultivation, attitude and perseverance are the most important things." One week, for you, is nothing more than a ticket to the magic path, and I'm glad you didn't disappoint me. ”

With a slight sigh, he continued, "Shaping the magic string means that the key to the fourteen magic paths is already in your hands, and then, from a magic apprentice, all the way to what you can ultimately reach, is completely under your own control." All I can give you is the experience accumulated in the early stage and the actual combat. ”

"For a mage, from the initial level of the magic ring skill to the various forbidden spells in the legendary stage, how to communicate with the magic net to release the spells in the spell slot through guò in different environments and face different enemies to achieve the purpose of restraining and destroying is a problem that a mage must think about. Obviously, any magic has its greatest effect, and the magic damage that uses the environment to achieve the greatest effect requires your on-the-spot reflection and combat experience. ”

"In this way, combat is often more important for mages than meditation, and tonight, for those of you who have just stepped into the magic apprenticeship, it is the cultivation of the first battle. I will take you to the Realm of Trials as your first battleground. ”

Augustus waved his hand slightly, and the people in the Room of Request disappeared into the room.

The starlight shone on the tower in the purple clouds, and the next second, Harry found that he had stepped into a familiar space.

It was a circular revolving roofhouse, with magical gnomes sweeping a layer of unstained smooth black sparkling stone floors, magic lamps made of purple crystals hanging from the roof, and rows of pure white vertical shelves at the edge of the room, and transparent ice crystal floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting the few stars in the dark space.

"Where is this?" Ron looked at Loki and asked the question everyone wanted to know.

Loki shook his head suspiciously, "I've been following Mr. Augustus for so long, and I never knew of such a place, but. He gestured to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows directly north of the room, "If this wasn't magical, we'd be in the universe right now." ”

"How is that possible?" Parvati's face was pale, and her rosy lips trembled slightly, "Isn't this room on Earth?" Even if it were a phantom shifter, it wouldn't be possible to send so many of us to other planets, right? ”

"It's an illusion, you forgot the magical creation vision that Mr. Augustus showed us when we first entered the Room of Requirement," Zacharis muttered, his voice echoing the room, "Is it probably that this place also uses illusion to create zào?" ”

Ginny coughed lightly and touched the cold metal table, "It doesn't feel like an illusion, although the illusion was very realistic, but you can really touch these desks and chairs in this room, if this is also a vision, it is too real." ”

Lilian nodded, her crimson pupils reflecting the starry sky outside the window, "That's true, it seems that the real cosmic space is displayed outside the window." ”

Qiu sat in the upholstered chair and looked at everyone suspiciously, "But, even if the starry sky outside is real, then what is going on in this room, is there a room of requirement that can be moved into space?" It's kind of incredible. ”

Harry shook his head and said in a serious voice, "If I'm right, this is a tower owned by Mr. Augustus that can fly in the air, I saw it once during the World Cup, and after the Triwizard Tournament, he himself rode this tower to save me at the Riddle Cemetery. I'm afraid that we are in this tower right now. ”
