At the same time, Elwyn and Hermione were waiting in the dark corridor on the eighth floor with the Marauder Map in their hands.
The map showed the entire Hogwarts. The moving black dots were marked with names, showing the location of each person.
The core of the Marauder Map was name magic. Everyone's name was born with magic power.
This magic power was invisible, but it existed. Just like horoscopes and blood types, it could subtly influence a person.
Elwyn had done some research on the Marauder Map. He could now use a little bit of this name magic to track a person's location through potions or spells. He had used it on the dwarf Peter.
Therefore, as long as Peter was still alive, Elwyn would be able to sense him and track him in the Forbidden Forest at night.
Depending on the strength of the magic, this kind of sensing was limited by distance, just like the Marauder Map could only show the inner area of the Hogwarts.
And it was not very reliable. Last semester's experience told Elwyn that as long as a wizard had changed his name like Keresis, he would not be tracked by the magic mark of the name. In other words, he would not appear on the Marauder Map.
But it was still possible to use it to see where Umrich, Filch, and the other members of the group were.
They certainly could not cast spells on their own names. They did not have that ability.
"Harry and the others have finished their training. The members are returning to the castle." Elwyn said, looking at the Marauder Map in his hand. "Well, it's a little strange. Harry and Ron stayed in the locker room and did not come out. What are they doing secretly?"
"I don't know, but I hope they can hurry!" Hermione said and came over. "Where's Umrich?"
"In her office," Elwyn said. "She didn't even go to dinner. She has been in her office all the time. Don't be so nervous. No one told her. She won't know what we are going to do. Ah, they are coming. Let's go in first. Harry knows how to enter the House of Granted Wishes. They will come in by themselves. "
A group of people climbed up to the eighth floor. Everyone looked exceptionally nervous, and there was a tinge of uneasiness in their suppressed excitement.
When they saw Elwyn and Hermione, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"You two are so clean. I'm so envious," George said. His newly changed clothes were also damp. "I'm almost soaked!"
"There's something even worse …" Fred covered his butt.
"You train in this weather?" Michael said in surprise, looking at the equally wet Ginny.
"Yeah, if you want to win the Quidditch Cup, you have to pay a certain price, don't you?" Angelina replied, "I think it's necessary for us to train. No one can guarantee what kind of weather we'll encounter during the official competition. If it's raining, we'll be prepared!"
"Please, I don't want to talk about Quidditch training. Elwyn, where's the secret room you were talking about?"
Everyone looked around curiously. Students, especially those from Hufflepuff, rarely came to the eighth floor of the castle. After all, there were no other classrooms here other than the headmaster's office. Many people were in awe of the headmaster and usually wouldn't look for him.
Dumbledore didn't have a specific teaching assignment. Most students only saw him twice a semester, at the beginning and the end of the semester at the dinner.
"Come on, it's over there!"
Elwyn and Hermione led them through the corridor to a huge tapestry of Barnabas trying to teach a troll how to dance ballet. On the opposite side of the tapestry was a white wall. A worm-eaten troll stopped beating the ballet teacher and turned to look at them.
"We're here. This is it!" Elwyn said. "This is the House of Granted Wishes. Walk through this wall three times and concentrate on what we need. Remember, we need a room to learn magic and practice combat. Everyone, come. "
Since their first year, Elwyn had been using the House of Granted Wishes as a place to brew magic potions.
The house was amazing. No matter what he needed, it could transform into a corresponding room with everything he needed.
Not long ago, when Elwyn needed a workshop to make brooms, it could transform into all kinds of tools.
Elwyn had done research on the House of Granted Wishes and asked the professors. The final result was that no one could use the magic involved in the room. As for who left it behind and how it was created, there was no way to find out.
Apart from the secret treasure left behind by the four founders, this room could be the biggest secret of the Hogwarts.
Everyone followed Iven to the window at one end of the white wall, turned back, and turned back at the man-sized vase at the other end.
"We need a place to learn magic and combat, a place where we can practice without being discovered."
These thoughts seemed to be received by the wall. After they walked back and forth three times, a smooth door appeared.
"Alright, come on!" Elwyn said. He opened the door and led the way into a spacious room.
The room was made of large green rocks. Torches were lit, just like the ones in the underground classrooms.
A row of wooden bookshelves lined the wall. There were no chairs on the floor, but there were large satin cushions.
On the shelf at the other end of the room were various instruments used by the Aurochs, such as speculators, traps, and so on. There was also a cracked Demon Revealing Mirror, which was definitely the one that was hung in the fake Moody's office last year.
After the mad-eyed man returned, the Demon Revealing Mirror had been thrown away. No one knew how he had appeared here.
"This place is amazing!"
"Yes, it's got everything you need!"
"There's even food. That's great!" Fred said. "Yes, it's still hot. Is it edible?"
"I don't think it's a problem!" Elwyn said. "Some of you must have been thinking about food just now. That's why these cakes and hot drinks appeared. This room can satisfy all your needs. That's why it's called the Room of All Requests."
"That's me. I didn't eat anything in the hall just now." George said, picking up a piece of cake and stuffing it into his mouth.
"Look at these books!" Hermione excitedly stroked the spines of the thick sheepskin books. "I was just thinking if I should add some books on combat, and they appeared. I'm sure some of these books aren't available in the library. 'Common Spells and Solutions', 'Outsmart Black Magic', 'Self-Defense Spells Collection' … "
She looked back at Elwyn, her face glowing. The thousands of magic books had made Hermione forget all her worries.
"That's great. We have everything we need."
