Chapter 435 New Research Object
‘Can’t go for a check-up, definitely can’t go for a check-up. ’
When Andrew woke up the next morning, he immediately began to warn himself.
The action last night was actually not dangerous, but if he got closer, it would be a bit of a suicide attempt - because the carrier was so unique.
He didn't know much about Horcruxes, but he still knew something about souls - starting from human body transformation, transformation began to involve the realm of the soul. Later, more dangerous magical transformations took effect directly on the soul.
The relationship between the soul and the body is actually very subtle, and there is actually a certain amount of complementarity between the two, at least from the perspective of magical transformation.
The existence of Horcrux also illustrates this problem - the information contained in a soul fragment can construct the wizard's body through various ritual magics engraved on the Horcrux, which is enough to explain a lot of things.
But Andrew still hasn't figured out why black magic and some high-risk monsters can permanently damage the body, and whether the lack of soul can be compensated for by the nourishment of the body.
However, he currently does not have enough accumulation to study this in depth.
But this was enough to wake him up and not provoke that damn Horcrux - he didn't think his Occlumency could block the Nose's bewitchment, so he didn't do any testing or research, and locked it until the time was almost up. Then hand it over to Dumbledore.
The laboratory currently belongs to his restricted area, which means that the research on the properties of potions will have to stop for a short period of time - but this is not difficult.
Because he has a new research object, a very, very useful one.
Room of Requirement!
Yes, the Room of Requirement - after moving the Horcrux, this place will be a perfect house. It would be best if we could study what kind of magic it uses. Even if we can't study it, we can add some transfiguration. The perception is also excellent.
As for the hiding place, Andrew had no intention of looking for treasure inside.
He didn't even plan to look for the treasures left by Hufflepuff, let alone search for them in the students' collections.
'I can't tell Sirius and the others first, otherwise if they really dig out Hufflepuff's treasures, I won't be able to get into the crown - I'm not good at deciphering anyway, so I hope they can study it carefully...'
Having made up his mind, Andrew put on his invisibility cloak and walked that way again - he would go back to the office in the morning, and today he planned to see the limits of the Room of Requirement.
There were few people hanging out on the eighth floor on the morning of the holiday. Andrew walked easily to the Room of Requirement and started to work.
‘I need a house full of rabbits. ’
He used Occlumency to convey this idea, preparing to see if he could break through the limits of transformation.
Walked through it three times in a row, plus thinking.
The door opened.
?
Andrew was surprised when he opened it. There were actually rabbits in the room!
Are you kidding me?
Andrew froze for a moment, then grabbed one to examine—and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fake. The rabbit created by the transfiguration technique is not a living creature.
‘What about the food? ’
…
He began to test one after another, constantly transmitting his ideas to the room from the front.
Before breakfast time arrived, Andrew probably made his assessment.
‘It cannot create real living creatures, but it can allow creatures to live in it, and it can even change into another room in the presence of creatures. ’
'But I guess humans can't do it, not even humanoids. I just transformed a lifelike body with common human judgment rules, and I can lock the deformation of the room so that it can't continue to change. ’
‘Were the rules set from the time of construction? ''In addition, the other creatures sent in can still come out after undergoing several transformations in different rooms, and they still carry my magic brand, which means that the room was only temporarily transferred, but it actually still exists? ’
Andrew looked at this wall and couldn't help but sigh.
There were so many secrets buried in Hogwarts. He thought he could play with this room alone for half a year if he concentrated on studying it.
Half a year means - if he can't figure it out in half a year, he can give up and continue studying hard and wait for a breakthrough, and this is a high probability outcome.
‘I’ll have a meal first, then go to the office for my shift, and leave the research to the afternoon. Even if I haven’t taken a closer look inside, it’s still interesting enough. ’
After finishing his meal in a hurry and trying to calm down to finish his office work, Andrew strolled all the way to the eighth floor.
This time he planned to see its limits inside. After all, he had already checked its safety issues with a humanoid model in the morning.
‘Cushion…’
‘Chair…’
‘Clouds…’

‘Candle…’
…
All kinds of messy things were conveyed to the room with his thoughts, and it was actually completed meticulously on most of the materials.
Only complex transfiguration artifacts and electronic gadgets won't do - especially the latter.
Even worse than what Andrew had conjured up.
The cell phones, computers, game consoles, etc. that he created with his transfiguration technique had some appearance, but the Room of Requirement couldn't even change the shapes of things.
‘The information I gave is too little, but I can make up a lot of it when I change, so this is the most critical difference in the different results of the two transformation techniques. ’
'As for the candle... because it can burn, and I released a ton of compressed air from outside without bursting - so the light does not come out of thin air, this place must be in contact with the outside world. ’
‘There is another verification method, which is a bit arbitrary, but it is not impossible. ’
Andrew closed the door again and walked towards Professor McGonagall's office.
"Jim, are you there? How's the data I want?"
He began summoning the house elves serving in Professor McGonagall's office.
"There are still 154,321 candles in stock, but thirty candles were missing during the counting process. I suspect that some students secretly used non-biological summoning spells to steal candles from the warehouse, Mr. Andrew .”
"Maybe it's Peeves' prank. Thank you very much, Jim."
Andrew thanked him seriously - after all, this time it was really his own business.
Now, there is no problem.
It is basically confirmed that the Room of Requirement is tied to the school's warehouse - this place is most likely the entrance to the secret room left by Ms. Hufflepuff, but it is also a powerful treasure that cannot be moved.
‘Let’s go play around after lunch. There are a few rules and techniques that I haven’t figured out yet. I’m afraid this place will help me more than the treasures buried inside. ’
