Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

Chapter 26



At night, when everyone in the dormitory was asleep, William suddenly got up from the bed.

He quietly dressed, took his wand, tiptoed through the room, walked down the spiral staircase, and entered the Gryffindor common room. There was still some embers flickering in the fireplace, and the common room was silent, which made William, who was preparing for a night walk, feel a little lonely.

William came to the portrait hole, pushed open the portrait of the Fat Lady, and then went out of the hole.

There was no one in the portrait at this time. The Fat Lady went to visit late at night. Maybe she thought that no one would go in after curfew.

The corridor was not pitch black. Instead, beams of moonlight came in from the window. Even ordinary people could barely see the nearby scenes.

But William had a gift for night vision, which made him see the night as day, and the entire corridor was clearly visible.

He was now on the eighth floor, and according to William's memory in his previous life, the Room of Requirement was also located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

This magical room is opposite the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas with a stick on the eighth floor of the castle.

When the user concentrates on the required venue and walks through that wall three times, a very smooth door will appear on the wall, and then you can enter the Room of Requirement.

After William sorted out his thoughts, he began to wander around the eighth floor of the castle. He had to pretend that he had discovered the Room of Requirement by accident and not be too deliberate.

In addition to the Gryffindor common room, the eighth floor of the castle also has Professor Flitwick's office, the headmaster's office, the Advanced Arithmancy Research Laboratory and other rooms.

So William walked very carefully along the way, and he really kept his eyes and ears open. If there was any movement, he would hide immediately.

During this period, he also found the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas with a stick, but he did not show any abnormality and walked straight through here.

William walked around the eighth floor and when he returned to the door of the Gryffindor common room, he found that the Fat Lady in the portrait had not returned.

"Well, I can't go back now, so I might as well walk around a bit more." William sighed in a pretentious manner, turned around and wandered around the eighth floor again.

This time he was a bit unlucky, as he had only taken a few steps when he heard Filch's voice at the corner of the corridor.

"Sniff around, my dear, we must not let go of those guys who violate the school rules."

Filch's gloomy and sticky voice made William frown.

But he immediately thought of a good idea.

If he used the excuse of avoiding Filch and accidentally found the Room of Requirement in a panic, then everything would make sense.

What a wonderful idea!

Just do it, William pretended to be panic and bumped into the armor on the side of the corridor. The silent corridor suddenly clanged and the sound spread far away.

Filch obviously heard it, and he shouted to his cat Mrs. Norris:

"My dear, there must be someone ahead, hurry up and chase him, I can't let the damn kid run away, I must catch him,……"

He didn't say the rest, because he was forbidden to hurt students due to the tolerance of Headmaster Dumbledore.

You know, Filch had the right to whip students who violated school rules before. He would even hang students upside down in his office, lock them up in a small dark room, etc.

William heard the noise on the other side of the corridor and immediately ran in the opposite direction, but he always kept a moderate speed. He didn't want Mrs. Norris to catch up with him, but he also wanted her to catch up with him. In this way, he passed the tapestry of the troll hitting Barnabas three times, and at the same time, he was thinking about finding a place to hide something.

When he passed by the third time, a door suddenly appeared on the wall opposite the tapestry.

William pretended to be panicked, pushed the door open and rushed in, then quickly closed the door, and the door on the outside wall disappeared instantly and turned into a wall again.

After a while, when Mrs. Norris chased after him, she couldn't see anyone at all, so she could only turn back to look for Filch.

At this time, Filch was panting and couldn't even straighten his waist.

You know, William took him around the eighth floor three times without stopping.

He panted and cursed fiercely,"You damned despicable little beast, you're lucky today. If I catch you in the future...……"

He paused for a moment before cursing again:"It must be the Gryffindor bastards. They live on the eighth floor. They must have run back to the common room. Humph!"

Filch was unwilling to catch the man, but he still took Mrs. Norris and walked towards the stairs while cursing. He still had to patrol other floors.

At this time, William was not panicking in the room of every request.

He had a smug smile on his face, and was very satisfied with his impromptu plan. Not only did he play a trick on Filch, but he also achieved his goal. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone.

William had a very bad impression of Filch. When he was reading in his previous life, he hated Filch very much. In this life, when he came to Hogwarts, Filch was born to stand on the opposite side of the students, and William's impression of him became even more disgusted.

After a moment of self-satisfaction, William began to observe the scene in front of him.

He stood in a room as big as a cathedral. The objects hidden by generations of Hogwarts people piled up high walls, which looked like a city with tall buildings.

The streets and alleys were filled with broken furniture, which looked shabby.

These broken furniture may have been stuffed here to cover up the evidence of accidental magic, or hidden by the house elves who maintained the dignity of the castle.

There were thousands of books here, which were undoubtedly banned books, books with graffiti, or stolen books.

There were also winged slingshots and wolf-tooth flying saucers, some of which were still weakly hovering on the piles of forbidden objects.

In addition to these things, there were broken bottles containing solidified potions, hats, jewelry, cloaks, and things that looked like dragon eggshells.

William even saw some corked bottles still flashing evil light, as well as several rusty iron swords and a bloodstained axe. There was no telling how many embarrassing, bad, and even evil things of the past were hidden here. It was simply full of the evil side of Hogwarts. But for William, this place was good. Not only was there the Ravenclaw crown, but also a huge treasure. It depended on what he could dig out from it.

William frowned and thought for a long time. He didn't remember the original books he read in his previous life very clearly. He might have just glanced over some trivial plots when he read the books, and now he couldn't remember them at all.

But one element he remembered clearly was the broken bust of the ugly old wizard. The Ravenclaw crown should be near the bust.

After all, Potter was in a hurry to collect books at that time, and it was impossible to spend much time, so the things he took at that time were all nearby and could not be too far away.

Based on these elements, William began to look inside.
