Chapter 151 Qiuzhi Pavilion (page 12)
While Cyrus was in the Room of Requirement, Hogwarts hosted its first Quidditch match of the school year.
Quidditch can be said to be the most popular sport in the wizarding world, and all the teachers and students in the school will not be absent from almost every game. Cyrus is not very interested in Quidditch, and he has experienced it once before, and his enthusiasm has been worn away.
But he could just use today to conduct a thorough search of Hogwarts!
The weather was very cold these days, and after Sirius' case was overturned, the Ministry of Magic did not allow the Dementors to return to Azkaban. Because there is still a criminal who causes trouble from time to time and is still on the run, and Pettigrew has also replaced Sirius as the target of the hunt.
However, all the Dementors near Hogwarts were taken away, and after Sirius's unjust case was solved, everyone believed that no one would harm Harry Potter again. Peter Pettigrew may have had this idea, but no one thought he had the guts to return to Hogwarts.
The game hasn't started yet, but the atmosphere on the field is already very lively.
Under the thick lead-colored clouds, the shouts became louder and louder than the waves. Cyrus was far away, looking at the Quidditch pitch from the gray window. His eyesight allowed him to clearly see the situation on the field.
Dumbledore sat firmly on the high platform, while Sirius and Snape fought endlessly on the professor's chair, with the gentle Lupine acting as a moderator for the two of them. Of course Snape didn't care about this, he was like a poisonous snake spraying venom wantonly.
Almost no one came to persuade them to be more harmonious. For Snape, Lupine and Sirius were the enemies who almost caused his death; while for Sirius, the prank back then might have been a bit too much. Yes, but don’t forget Snape’s identity——
He was a Death Eater and had been a Death Eater reserve while still in school. After graduation, Snape became a very capable subordinate of Voldemort. Many people died at Snape's hands that year.
From this perspective, Sirius only regretted not killing Snape when he was in school.
The clouds were rolling, and it seemed like a freezing rain was about to fall.
But Cyrus knew very well that the rain would not dampen the enthusiasm of the young wizards. Even Snape took the Quidditch game very seriously.
Cyrus slowly walked through the castle. Of course, he would not use his original appearance foolishly. The statues in the castle were still there, and Filch was still patrolling. At this moment, he cast a disillusionment spell on himself to ensure that no one would find his traces.
Even Mrs. Lorris didn't smell his scent when she passed her.
After his identity was discovered by Sirius in Hogsmeade, Cyrus also attached great importance to smell.
"Where might the Qiuzhi Pavilion be located?"
As a key building used to protect ancient magic, Cyrus did not think that the Pavilion of Knowledge would be in a featureless corner.
Maybe there is a secret room in the castle that no one knows about?
Speaking of the Chamber of Secrets, Cyrus first thought of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, but he didn't think that the Pavilion of Knowledge would be in the Chamber of Secrets. Opening the door to the chamber requires Parseltongue, but the four guardians do not have this ability.
Another special room is the Room of Requirement.
Unknowingly, Cyrus was already walking in the corridor on the eighth floor, passing under the tapestry of a giant monster beating Barnabas stupidly, and he suddenly stopped.
"Can the Room of Requirement take me to the Pavilion of Knowledge?"
As the most magical room in Hogwarts, the Room of Requirement is much more magical than Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. And the Room of Requirement does not disgrace its name at all. It is a room that is never forgotten and must have echoes. It helped Harry, Draco and even Voldemort a lot.
Last year, Cyrus also completed the refining of the Magic Stone here.
"Since the location of the Pavilion of Knowledge is inside Hogwarts, then the Room of Requirement may be able to reach that location directly."
Cyrus hesitated for a few seconds. The gold galleons in his pocket seemed to have been roasted in the fire, almost scalding his skin.
"It should take some time for Dumbledore to walk from the first floor to the eighth floor. I can give it a try first!"
Cyrus returned to the starting position and started walking with his eyes closed:
"Give me the Qiuzhi Pavilion."
"Give me the Qiuzhi Pavilion."
"Give me the Qiuzhi Pavilion."
He walked back and forth three times, and a wooden door immediately appeared on the originally empty wall. Cyrus felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. But he didn't think much, opened the door and walked in.
Cyrus pushed open the door that looked familiar and walked into a dark space.
Rows of bookshelves stood side by side, standing up like the walls of a maze in the darkness.
"library?"
Cyrus is very familiar with this place.
In my memory, Tom Riddle often studied knowledge in the library. Last year, Cyrus also wandered around the restricted book area from time to time.
"Because the library is in line with the meaning of seeking knowledge, so the library was opened?" Cyrus was a little confused.
It is naturally impossible for Cyrus to master all the magical knowledge in the library, but compared to these magics, he cares more about ancient magic.
It's not that the magic here is useless. In fact, it's quite the opposite. There are many ancient books in the Hogwarts library, but there are so many magic books here, and most of them are modern magic documents collected in the past hundred years.
"It seems that the Room of Requirement is not omnipotent. It may be impossible to find the Pavilion of Knowledge through this method." Cyrus thought for a while and planned to exit from here.
But when he was about to step out of the library door, he stopped.
Maybe the Qiuzhi Pavilion is located in the library?
Perhaps the Room of Requirement did not misinterpret the meaning of the Pavilion of Knowledge and brought Cyrus here by mistake, but the Pavilion of Knowledge itself was hidden in a corner of the library?
He turned back and looked at the rows of bookshelves in the dim library. They were like giants guarding the knowledge of magic.
"If there is a secret hidden somewhere in the library, it can only be the restricted book area!" Cyrus's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the restricted book area without hesitation. The isolation magic of the Forbidden Book Zone is useless to him. It is easier for him to go to the Forbidden Book Zone than to go home!
The library of Hogwarts is very large, and a traceless stretching spell has been cast in it. Thousand-year-old books are gathered here. In the vast sea of books, anyone will be shocked by the knowledge itself.
Cyrus walked around in circles, walked through several ups and downs, and finally came to a wall. Without thinking much, he immediately waved his wand.
"The true form is revealed!"
The power of ancient magic spread, and the wall in front of Cyrus turned into an illusory thing and collapsed instantly.
The blue-grey arch appeared in front of Cyrus's eyes.
Passing through the blue-grey arch, Cyrus set foot on an ancient, dilapidated and magnificent road.
