Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

The scene in the responsive house has not changed.

Or, to be more precise, the "House of Demand-Recycling Bin" has not changed.

As the wonderful magic room that accompanied the birth of Hogwarts Castle, the House of Request is like a parallel world. There are countless "parallel houses of request". No one has ever counted their respective types, but it is certain that they are definitely An objective room.

In the world view of the standard universe, the wizard can repeatedly enter the room where "similar wishes" are generated.

This kind of repetitive behavior may even span thousands of years.

And among these, the "House of Request-Recycling Bin", born out of the desire to "hide things", is undoubtedly one of the oldest rooms.

"Don't worry about the things around, we are not here to clean up today."

Elena opened the door, grabbed Hannah who wanted to run around, and followed the little fat chicken's navigation to the mirror smoothly.

The Mirror of Eris remained quietly in place.

The black velvet cloth is stacked aside, not neatly, but more like being thrown away at random.

Elena swept across the pile of fabrics calmly, raised her eyebrows, and she had such a look.

Hogwarts has a certain and immature "self-awareness".

This is the unanimous consensus of her and many researchers.

In fact, since she first stepped into this "House of Request-Recycling Bin" last night, she has realized:

There must be an unknown force in this space, quietly sorting out the clutter after people leave.

Otherwise, it would have become a garbage dump instead of a "city" with basic order. Judging from the movement of the black velvet cloth, the power of this sorting should be slow and simple, but if it can be supplemented with some small help later, it has a lot of potential.

While Elena was looking at this boundless space, the other three little witches nervously squeezed in front of the Eris's magic mirror and looked inside.

"Hermione, Hermione, what did you see?" Hannah asked quietly.

"I did not see anything--"

Hermione frowned and looked into the mirror with her face sideways.

Maybe it's the wrong position, except for Luna's appearance, she can't see anything in the mirror.

"Well, me too... I can't even see you, I can only see Luna's reflection..."

"I can only see Luna here. If the mirror is not broken, then I can only explain—"

Hermione said softly thoughtfully, turning her head to look at Luna who was standing between the two of them, and was about to ask something.

The next moment, Hermione's voice suddenly stopped in her throat.

Luna bit her lip tightly and looked at the Eris magic mirror in front of her, two lines of tears slipping down her cheeks silently.

They had never seen Luna like this before.

She looked like a helpless little beast, trying to restrain herself from whimpering.

Luna's hands were trembling, as if she wanted to lift it up to touch the mirror, but hesitated to poke forward.

"Mom?" She whispered, "Are you there?"

In the mirror, an adult version of her is standing behind her at this time, looking tenderly at Luna in front of the mirror.

It was ten thousand times clearer than the photo in her bedroom, as if she was a real person.

Luna subconsciously stretched out her hand and fumbled behind her. If she really exists, then Luna can definitely touch her.

But all Luna touched was the air-just as Elena had said before, everything in the mirror was an illusion in their hearts.

"She's not in the mirror, Luna, she's always here..."

At this moment, Luna felt her hand fall into a soft, cool palm.

Elena took her hand and placed it gently on Luna's chest, and gently wiped away the tears from Luna's face with the other hand.

"Well, you have to take a break, and it's time for Hermione and Hannah to look at the Mirror of Eris...Come here to take a break."

Perhaps Elena could not guess what Hermione and Hannah saw in the mirror.

But as for what Luna would see in the mirror, Elena knew it long before Luna suggested that she wanted to come to the House of Request-there is no suspense. Luna must have left accidentally because of a spell accident two years ago. The earthly mother, Pandora Lovegood.

In fact, after returning from a night tour last night and being caught, Elena hesitated to tell Luna about the Mirror of Eris.

However, after a few seconds of thinking, she still chose to trust Luna.

If Harry in the original can resist the temptation of the Mirror of Eris, then Luna has no reason to be inferior to Harry.

Unlike most little wizards and even adults, the Lovegood family has a unique way to coexist with the illusion.

On the other side, Hermione and Hannah's reaction to Eris's Mirror was much calmer.

As Albus Dumbledore explained in the original world line:

The happiest person in the world can use the Eris Mirror as an ordinary mirror, because it reflects the most urgent and strongest definition of'happiness' in people's hearts-in other words, The happier people are, the harder it is to immerse themselves in the illusory world in the mirror.

Compared to Luna and Elena, Hermione and Hannah obviously don't have any strong desires for the time being.

Especially after they were promoted to "Reserve Grand Arcana", most of the clearly marked things in the world lost their meaning.

"Okay, the visit process is over, let's play something else."

A few minutes later, Elena clapped her hands and said with a relaxed smile.

She had no desire to know what Hermione and Hannah saw in the mirror.

The Eris Magic Mirror has quite a few limitations, and it will change according to the user's mentality and life course.

In the eyes of children who have not yet experienced regrets and are too immature to see the future clearly, the role of the Eris Mirror is more fun.

However, if it appears in certain people and occasions, it may play a completely different role.

After thinking for a few seconds, Elena turned her head and looked at her side, and said softly.

"Luna, take a look at it one last time, it should be changed to a new place starting tomorrow."

"No accident, it will be used as a new SCP containment object, temporarily stored in the depths of the inner world of the Succubus Capital. If you want to see it later, it may have to go through a lot of processes. Desire for this What is ethereal can only be turned into a beacon of the future in a specific environment."

"No need, that's it."

Luna paused for a moment on the mysterious mirror, shook her head firmly, and replied softly.

"Mom just hid it, in my heart and dad's heart, in the mirror, beside us-didn't you say? The mirror of Eris reflects the deepest reflection of each of us, just like in the mirror As you can see, they have never left."

"...Yes."

Elena looked at Luna quietly, smiled and nodded.

Immediately, she drew out her wand and turned to the huge mirror and waved it lightly.

(→?→)つ—☆【Speed ​​becomes smaller】

The Eris magic mirror that had reached the ceiling quickly became smaller, and within a few seconds, it quickly became a small square mirror with the size of a palm.

As a public storage room for Hogwarts, there is no right to belong to the things here-Elena comfortably picked up the pocket-sized Eris mirror and placed it on her chest, raised her hand and snapped her finger lightly, summoning her Reserve grains flying around in mid-air.

"Let's go out, ready to reset this room, let's try a new room."

"Reset?"

Hannah asked curiously.

"Of course, do you remember what I said before? This is...a room for all requests."

Elena nodded, her eyes gleaming brightly, looking around the boundless space.

"It just happens that we are free this Christmas. By the way, let’s try its limit and record how many worlds it has. And how much it can do. Wait a moment, starting with you Hannah, each of us Make wishes one by one and imagine any scene."

Compared to the Mirror of Eris, which is only a phantom, the Room of Request is a wishing room that truly responds to "wishes."

The most important thing is that, judging from the current intelligence, it is still a wishing pool with no cooling and no upper limit.

Alina took Luna and led Hermione and Hannah out of the room.

…………

On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, the giant stick hits the hallway where the Barnabas tapestry is located.

As Elena and others stepped out of the door of the "House of Request-Recycle Bin", the door disappeared.

Behind them is a smooth and solid white wall without any hidden passages-obviously, this is very different from the passage leading to Professor Dumbledore’s office. It is a magical secret tunnel in the true sense, not passing through. What mechanism is hidden by magic.

"Then, this time it's you first, Hannah."

Elena raised her right hand, snapped her fingers lightly, and summoned four small writing tablets.

As she spoke, she divided the handwriting tablet into the hands of each little witch, and explained earnestly.

"Each of us records the wishes in our minds and the appearance of the corresponding rooms at the end-when the test is over, we return to the dormitory to sum up. For example, just now:'a place to hide things','houses for all requests-recycle bins ', the scene description..."

What Hogwarts, or the wizarding world, lacks is neither advanced magic nor outstanding witches and witches.

What most wizards lack is scientific and logical thinking.

Science has never been opposed to magic, or even at the same level.

The irony is that if you look closely at the origins, wizards are the first group of people involved in scientific concepts in human civilization.

Whether it is an alchemist in the Middle Ages, an earlier master of spells, or even in ancient times, those ancient wizards called prophets, shamans, sorcerers, sorcerers... Exploring and deciphering the laws of this world.

What Elena is doing now is just to make the torch of human wisdom emit magical light again.

As for the starting point of recovery, it is naturally - a certain scientific Hogwarts.

"Then I started? Um, I want to, uh... a place where a lot of wine is stored?"

Under Elena's encouraging gaze, Hannah mimicked the white hair dumpling and turned back and forth along the corridor three times.

In the next moment, the door that had just disappeared silently resurfaced before their eyes.

They glanced at each other, stretched out their hands, and turned the brass handle.

"Wow, incredible—"

Hannah stepped into the room and looked at the completely different brand new room in shock.

The cathedral-like space full of debris a few minutes ago disappeared.

Instead, there is a long and narrow wine cellar that can't be seen at a glance, and the faint aroma of wine permeates the space.

Guru--

Hannah rolled her throat a few times and looked at the rows of wine barrels with some greedy eyes.

As the future heir to the Broken Cauldron Tavern, her instinct is telling her how delicious these wines are.

"Ah, you can't drink—minors are not allowed to drink—"

Elena glanced at Hannah who was about to move, raised her fingers, and said with a serious face.

"Except on Christmas Day, the rest of the time will not work. I don't want to be caught by Professor Dumbledore all over my body. By that time, we will all be dead, even if we will not be confined, but the result of telling the parents may be Worse, isn't it?"

"Well, all right—"

Hannah reluctantly looked away from the attractive wine barrels.

"Then let's start checking and recording? I have experience with this, and I would occasionally help count it before."

According to the previous plan, in addition to summoning different rooms, they have to explore.

They walked back and forth in the wine cellar, while carefully writing records on the tablet.

"Record: ‘Places for storing wine’, ‘House for all requests-wine cellars’."

"Estimated storage volume..."

"Area..."

…………

After half an hour.

The entrance hallway of the responsive house.

"Well, let me see... the library, the magical animal battle platform, the breeding room, the curse classroom, the small playground..."

Elena read the notes on the tablet one by one, and lightly tapped the quill pen thoughtfully.

Just like her previous speculation, most of the conventional scenes can be faithfully realized in the House of Request.

Even the "Fantastic Beasts Battle Terrace" that sounds a little strange, after several detailed descriptions of the wishes, under the unknown magic of the castle, they finally completed the record as they wished: a Quidditch stadium almost Such a big colosseum.

On the other hand, Elena almost figured out the rules of the House of Request.

First of all, wizards cannot limit or demand the things in the responsive house, they can only put forward the needs of the room.

For example, if they want to reach the "Wine Cellar", they must "find a place to store wine" instead of "I want to go to a place with wine".

This also cut off Elena's attempts to summon nuclear reactors, planetary engines, and the like.

Secondly, the House of All Requests cannot respond to certain vague and subjective special wishes.

The simplest example is that the responsive house can neither have a room exuding a high concentration of ecstasy, nor can it turn into a "frightening" room. Any desire involving subjective feelings cannot be understood by the responsive house.

Of course, there will still be doors.

But inside was a relatively strange room, such as a potion brewing room, or a dark room with no light.

Finally, and at the same time the most core point: What the responsive house "reads" is the most original idea ~www.readwn.com~ or more accurately-the original desire.

"Human desires have no limits. Even the simplest, quantitative changes will have qualitative changes."

Elena looked at the white wall with a playful expression, and the little devil in her heart began to involuntarily wing her wings and wagging her tail.

Maybe she can start to try some more complex and difficult "desires".

But let’s start with those simple wishes that are reasonable but a bit difficult, and then gradually narrow the scope...

Elena wrote seriously on the tablet:

"I need a place that is large enough to berth, refurbish, and maintain the "Huberian Battle Group"."
