Ten minutes later, Matthew Wakefield arrived on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Soon, he found a tapestry with the words "Troll Stick Beating Fool Panabas". On the tapestry, several moth-eaten trolls stopped beating the teacher who tried to teach them ballet, and turned their heads to look at him.

Matthew ignored them, instead looking at a stretch of white wall across from the tapestry.

The legendary "Room of Requirement" is supposed to be in this location - it is a wonderful room that can only be entered when a Hogwarts student really needs it, but when it appears, it is always furnished to the needs of those who ask for help.

As early as his first day at Hogwarts, Matthew was looking forward to visiting the Room of Requirement.

But at that time, he still suppressed the desire in his heart.

After all, the location of the Room of Requirement is quite hidden inside Hogwarts, and not many people in the school know about it. A Muggle-born freshman who had just started school had found this place, and if he was discovered, it might raise some suspicions.

And now, at least I've been at Hogwarts for about a month......

Matthew walked to the window at one end of the white wall and turned back, then turned back to the one-man vase at the other end, and repeated three times.

At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and concentrated his thoughts, whispering the words: "I need a library!"

When he turned around for the third time, a very smooth door appeared on the wall.

Matthew grabbed the brass handle and pulled the door open with a slight effort.

And then he walked in—

Inside it is a very clean and tidy room and very spacious.

Every floor was polished, every bookshelf was made of oily mahogany, and every row of books was as neat as a procession of guards......

There was silence all around, and there was a faint scent of books in the air.

Torches were lit overhead and on the walls around them, just like those in the underground classrooms, but far brighter than the underground classrooms.

Matthew clenched his fists slightly.

He did it!

......

Matthew walked through the rows of bookshelves and reached for the spine of a large, thick sheepskin-faced book.

Common Spells and Solutions...... Outwitting Extreme Magic...... Self-Defense Spells......

The library that the "Room of Requirement" has turned into is not as large as the real Hogwarts library, and it is obviously not as complete with books.

But here, it's easy to flip through some of the "forbidden books" that can only be found in the Hogwarts library by going to the forbidden section.

In the future, I may be able to transfer some of my time in the library to this side.

A smile appeared on Matthew's face.

The only fly in the ointment is probably the Slytherin common room in the basement to the room on the eighth floor, where you have to climb the stairs for several minutes every time you come here.

While thinking, he kept wandering around the several bookshelves related to Defense Against the Dark Arts and Fantastic Beasts, flipping through one book after another—

There are sixteen humanoid magical creatures with blood-sucking abilities, and in addition to the five extinct ones, there are eleven more...... Some of the more common ones include vampires, Balkan werewolves, and dominatrixes.

At the same time, some magical creatures and wizard hybrids are also able to maintain their blood-sucking instincts, such as half-vampires...... In this way, if the permutations and combinations are done, there will be more possible species.

But when looking up the unicorn-related content, Matthew noticed one thing -

The blood of a unicorn is extremely magical, it can help a weakened wizard regain his strength, and it can also help a dying wizard prolong his life. And unicorns are quite rare magical animals, and only Hogwarts has a single population in the Forbidden Forest in the whole of England.

This reminded Matthew that in the plot of the first part of the original book, when Voldemort possessed Quirrell, he once restored part of his strength by killing a unicorn and drinking blood.

In other words, it is possible that the person who attacked the unicorn was not a vampire, but a simple wizard.

A wizard who craves power or life!

But the question is, who attacked Ronald Weasley? His blood is not like a unicorn, it has a longevity effect.

Or was it just to attack Weasley and divert the public's attention?

There is this possibility...... But it's just a possibility.

If you think about it carefully, there are indeed many doubts about the attack on Weasley.

Why did the "murderer" attack him...... At that time, he was just cleaning in the prize showroom.

If the "murderer" is because of the thirst for blood...... Why not attack a lone student, but a member of a small group of "three people and one dog"? Obviously, the former will have a much higher success rate than the latter.

If it was because Weasley accidentally saw something that caused the "murderer" to do it...... So why were Crabbe and Goyle, who were in the prize room with Weasley, just knocked unconscious?

Or is there a conflict between the "murderer" and the Weasleys?

For a moment, Matthew thought of many possibilities, but most of them were not reliable......

He hoped that the "murderer" had only launched the attack in the prize room to divert attention.

Because this means that the likelihood of a third attack will be very low.

The lives of others at Hogwarts are not at stake.

......

Before I knew it, Matthew had been in the Room for more than half an hour.

It's less than a quarter of an hour before the start of Charms class.

Matthew put all the books he had turned out back in their original positions, and walked towards the door of the responsive room.

On the way, he suddenly noticed an empty bookshelf......

The other shelves were full of books, but this one was empty, and it looked very discordant.

So, he leaned over with some curiosity.

Strictly speaking, this shelf cannot be said to be empty.

It's just that in the middle layer of the bookshelf, there is a lonely flat book.

Quaint books, delicate covers, yellowed paper...... An old book so familiar.

Matthew's eyes narrowed.

"Long time no see!" he said with his own initiative.
