Of course Harry knew where the Room of Requirement was and what the Room of Requirement was for. ——To be honest, there is probably no one in Hogwarts who understands what the Room of Requirement is better than him.But it was because of his understanding that he clearly knew that there was almost no way for him to know which room Malfoy had entered.

How about looking at this issue from another angle?

thought Harry.What can you do in an hour?

"One hour is the time for Polyjuice Potion." Hermione cast a disdainful look at Harry, who was frowning. "I'm guessing he stuck the time around for an hour or so just to keep the two guys who let him out."

Harry looked at her ruefully. "Thank you for clearing up my confusion. —and cutting off the last bit of clue I could think of."

"Actually, you can think of it this way. Malfoy didn't just go there once, remember? He almost seized every possible time to go into the Room of Requirement, and every time he didn't just go in and come out, but stayed in as much as possible. So what he's doing in it is probably a continuous work. For example, making potions, or making something else." Hermione said indifferently. "It's something that can be thought of so easily, I wonder why the two of you have thought about it for so long."

"How did you come up with that?" Ron asked.

"Because when I made Polyjuice Potion in second grade, I found a place where no one would go-if I knew how good the Room of Requirement would be at that time-and I used every possible time to go, and I stayed for a while every time. "Hermione looked at them in surprise. "Have you all forgotten? It's not a good thing to stop in the middle of making a potion."

"Of course we don't have any impression of the brewing process. Our impression is only at the moment of drinking it." Ron still couldn't help retching when he thought of the taste until now. "Too memorable."

"So we're only sure Malfoy is making something," Harry said irritably. "But what's the use of knowing that?"

"Now I don't know what's the use. Because for us now, this matter is equivalent to finding a piece of the puzzle. If we want to know what the whole picture looks like, we need more pieces." said Hermione. "Perhaps you could try Felix Felicia?"

"But another piece of the puzzle obviously needs Felicia more." Harry said regretfully. "But I only have one bottle."

"Professor Slughorn says you only need a few drops for a day," said Ron. "Perhaps it can be used twice?"

"No, I can't be sloppy with the matter that Professor Dumbledore gave me, it has to come first." Harry said, shaking his head. "It's just... I'm not sure yet... I feel that Felicia Felicia has a magical power. It seems to keep reminding me that now is not the time to drink it."

"Does Felicia work before you drink it?" Hermione asked in surprise. "I didn't see such information in the book."

"I don't know, maybe it's an intuition." Harry instinctively felt that if Luna was there, he would understand what he was talking about. "Felix seems to be waiting, too, for a time when Professor Slughorn is willing to hand over that memory."

"This is really... unbelievable. It sounds like Felicia is actually just helping you choose a time." Hermione was still in disbelief. "But the book says that the Elixir of Felicity can directly change the fortune of the day."

"Maybe most people just want good luck, but I have a clear purpose." Harry reluctantly found an excuse. "I just hope that nothing happens to Malfoy until the matter with Professor Slughorn is over."

Draco's life was uneventful.The disappearing cabinet is about to be repaired, and he doesn't have to go to the Room of Requirement so frequently, and he doesn't need someone to help him out.So he freed Crabbe and Goyle.Although selfish, he always felt as if there was something Crabbe didn't want him to know.But he didn't want to delve into it.

Now Draco can go to class on time, eat, go to the library, or occasionally watch a Quidditch match.Occasionally, when I saw Harry in the hallway or anywhere in Hogwarts, I would try my best to provoke it seemingly unintentionally, have a small fight, and my mood would be better for a day.Sometimes even he himself has the illusion that he is back in the lower grades, like a kind dream, and he doesn't want to wake up.

"You seem to be in a good mood recently." Bryce said with a smile.

"Is it obvious from me?" Draco reached out and touched his cheek. "I don't recall any strong emotions being shown."

"It's the eyes. There's less heaviness in your eyes." Bryce pointed to his own eyes. "I guess you must have done something to make it easier for you."

"Bryce, do you know that there is a spell called Legilimency?" Draco asked suddenly.

"Of course I do." Bryce nodded. "A powerful spell—but I can't, it's a little difficult."

"But Legilimency doesn't always work," Draco said softly. "At least not to me."

Bryce's expression froze: "Draco, have you learned Legilimency?"

"More than that. I need to resist them, so I have to learn them first. Until today, I thought I could hide well." Draco said, looking into Bryce's eyes. "But I didn't expect that eyes can betray people."

"Draco, I didn't expect you to care so much." Bryce coughed twice in embarrassment. "Actually, what I just said is just a Muggle gadget called psychology. Actually, it doesn't work very well for most wizards..."

"But you're right, I've been a little relaxed recently... so relaxed that I even forgot that I can't be an ordinary student anymore." Draco pressed his left arm lightly. "Thank you, Bryce."

Bryce obviously didn't expect such a result, watching the look in Draco's eyes disappear a little bit, Bryce knew that he was trying to hide the last bit of emotion: "No, Draco, I feel that occasionally It would be better to take it easy, you were a little too tense a while ago - to be honest, I was afraid that you would... you know, nerves that are always tense, it's easy to..."

Seeing Bryce's slightly panicked expression, Draco knew he had succeeded.He remembered that when Occlumency was applied, the light in the eyes could be scattered, but when the brain was closed, the mind would also be empty.So he tried to use only a little bit, and it really worked.Draco raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his eyes looked empty and indifferent: "How do I look now?"

"Draco." Bryce sighed. "I thought we were partners."

"Yes, but not a friend." Draco said softly. "I thought partner was more reliable."

Bryce, who came from a neutral family, obviously couldn't understand Draco's paranoia and absoluteness.In Bryce's cognition, interests are of course the first, but occasionally something else is needed to reconcile it.It's not like Gryffindor advocates that enthusiasm and trust should fill the whole life, but a little bit is sometimes necessary.But Draco obviously didn't think so.Bryce didn't know what he was thinking, although instinctively felt that Draco seemed to be walking on a very steep road, but Bryce decided to give him a little more space.

——Since he doesn't want to say it, let's wait until he wants to say it.

only……

Bryce wanted to touch Draco's hair and pat Draco on the shoulder.But he held back.Draco's aura seemed to be covered with a layer of hard thorns, refusing everyone's contact.

Bryce sighed and said in a barely audible voice, "Draco, I just think you've left yourself too alone."
