From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Chapter 76: Mordenkainen's Private Chamber

"I didn't expect that the Room of Requirement would be breached one day." Ivy stood in front of the tapestry of the troll beating Barnabas silly with a stick on the eighth floor of the castle and sighed sadly, "I kept so many magical creatures in it more than a hundred years ago, and nothing serious happened."

In fact, there was an example of the Room of Requirement being breached in the original book.

The Room of Requirement first appeared in a chat between Dumbledore and Harry. He said that when he passed that corridor, he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, and ended up walking into a room full of exquisite chamber pots.

Later in the fifth part, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", Harry and his friends urgently needed a place to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts, so Dobby, who was hired by Dumbledore to work in the kitchen of Hogwarts, recommended the Room of Requirement to them. So Harry gathered his friends and formed the Dumbledore Army in the Room of Requirement, abbreviated as D.A.

As the D.A. grew, they couldn't all squeeze into the corridor on the eighth floor at once, as that would be too conspicuous, so they could only enter the Room of Requirement in batches. Fortunately, when someone used the Room of Requirement, as long as they thought of the same room as the people already inside, the people who came later could also enter.

Later, in Harry's sixth year, Malfoy hid in the Room of Requirement to repair the Vanishing Cabinet, trying to let the Death Eaters enter Hogwarts through another Vanishing Cabinet in Borgin and Burke's. Harry also happened to need to hide the Half-Blood Prince's potion book, so the two met in the Room of Requirement. This is the second time in the original book that a latecomer entered the Room of Requirement when someone was inside.

There was a third time later. In the seventh book, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry and his two friends came to the Room of Requirement to look for Ravenclaw's diadem, and Malfoy and his three friends followed them behind using the Disillusionment Charm. As a result, after Harry and his three friends entered the Room of Requirement, they followed them in. Later, Crabbe used the Fiendish Fire Curse to ignite the entire Room of Requirement, indirectly destroying one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

In fact, the Room of Requirement was originally a room open to all teachers and students in the school. Ivy couldn't make it completely his own secret room, even if he had used that room for a long time more than a hundred years ago.

As soon as Ivy returned to Hogwarts Castle, he came to the Room of Requirement to visit his pets.

Whether the magical creatures filled the entire Room of Requirement, or Dicko left a letter and moved the magical animals inside to another place, Ivy could actually accept it.

However, things did not develop in the direction he imagined.

His luxurious single lounge with soft lighting, which linked four unique terrains suitable for the lives of magical creatures, disappeared.

It disappeared in the literal sense.

No matter how hard Ivy racked his brains and stepped on the floor of the eighth floor of the castle to make a few pits, he could not find his former personal space in the Room of Requirement again.

If it weren't for the fact that the Destruction Grimoire clearly displayed various materials from magical animals, he would have almost thought that the magical animals raised in the Room of Requirement were just a dream.

In addition, the Room of Requirement was broken through by a first-year girl yesterday, and the Art Element Garden Statue Creation Ritual, which cost countless energy and experience points, almost failed. Now Ivy has begun to distrust the room opposite the tapestry.

"Howling Flame." Ivy called softly. The bright red cat that was still circling around his feet had disappeared, but through the connection between the wizard and the pet, Ivy knew very well where the vigilant cat was.

He pretended to be indifferent, calling the cat's name softly, and tiptoed to a metal armor in the corridor. Howling Flame somehow got into the empty chest of the metal armor.

Ivy estimated the distance, jumped up, and pounced on the armor: "I got you!"

However, the sudden fire blew the armor into pieces, and Xiaoyan flashed to another place with the fire.

That was Xiaoyan's spell-like ability as an artistic elemental image - Fire Splash. When Xiaoyan releases this ability, a ball of sparks will explode at its current location, and units within 5 feet will suffer certain fire damage, and then Xiaoyan will temporarily transform into a fire element and move to another unoccupied space within 30 feet.

A large part of Xiaoyan's naughty and curious personality comes from the wind and fire elements in its ceramic body. It is not really against Ivy as its master, just like when you mop the floor at home, cats and dogs will try to chase the mop.

"Interesting." Ivy narrowed his eyes, and he regarded Xiaoyan's attitude as a challenge.

Then Ivy used the 1st level spells "Stride" and "Oil on the Feet" to increase the speed of movement, and then used "Cat's Grace" to enhance the agility attribute and reaction speed. He was determined to arrest the bad cat Xiaoyan in this corridor today!

After a chaotic chase, Ivy succeeded.

Xiaoyan was an art element created by him, and he was also his magician pet. How could he really go against the owner's wishes? As the saying goes, there must be a limit to willfulness.

"Well, good cat~ good cat." Ivy's fingertips shuttled through Xiaoyan's gorgeous collar, bringing sparks. Xiaoyan, who was tickled, also showed an expression of enjoyment and purred happily.

"Very good, Xiaoyan." Ivy's restless heart, which was restless because he couldn't pet the cat, finally calmed down. He held Xiaoyan in his hand and said seriously, "I have a task for you. A long-term task."

After yesterday's Art Element Creation Ceremony, Ivy's Scribe Wizard gained some experience points, although it did not mean that he could reach level 9 and cast 5th-level spells. But he could still spend these experience points to select one or two useful spells from the Destruction Grimoire.

After careful consideration, Ivy chose two 4th-level spells.

They are the Divine Craftsmanship of the Transmutation Department and the Private Chamber of Mordencan of the Protection Department.

The former allows Ivy to directly transform unprocessed raw materials into finished products made of the same materials. Unlike the transformation of wizards, the effect of Divine Craftsmanship is permanent, which is equivalent to using spells to replace the process of processing items.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Ivy is going to use this spell to reduce the time it takes to make strange objects.

As for Mordenkainen Private Chamber, it allows Ivy to use magic to protect a cubic area, blocking teleportation spells, blocking prophecy and various forms of detection magic, and also blocking sound and sight.

As long as Ivy selects a suitable area, he will have a real chamber under the effect of this spell.

Of course, Mordenkainen Private Chamber, like other spells, has a duration, and its effectiveness is 24 hours, that is, a whole day. However, as long as this spell is released at the same place every day for a year, the effect specified by the spell will become permanent.

As Ivy's wizard pet, the link between Howling Flame and him is much closer than imagined, so that Ivy can lend it some of his own spell slots.

Therefore, in order to create a chamber that truly belongs to him in Hogwarts, Ivy decided to let Howling Flame cast the 4th-level spell Mordenkainen Private Chamber in Hogwarts on his behalf at certain times when he could not get away.

As for the location of the secret room, Ivy had already chosen it, which was the secret room on the map at the bottom of the castle. The space there was large enough, and the surrounding mountain walls were also well expandable. If Ivy wanted, he could dig out an underground castle that was exactly like Hogwarts.

This time, Ivy went to the Room of Requirement to find some useful furniture. If he used Transfiguration, who knows when the "Spell Stop" would be used, and the underground secret room would be filled with all kinds of messy debris.
