Just as Snape and Dumbledore were standing at the top of the clock tower and talking, they did not know the protagonist they were talking about. At this time, he violated the school rules.
...
On the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle, a figure in a black cloak stood motionless in front of a stone wall in the dark corridor at night.
Then, something strange happened.
A series of stone patterns began to appear on the empty stone wall in front of him, winding and twisting to form a door-like relief. The next moment, it turned into an actual door.
The figure did not dare to stay and went straight into the room behind the door.
As he got in, the door began to slowly become shallow, like a rock in quicksand, gradually dissipating and passing, until it completely disappeared.
Everything happened quietly, without warning.
The corridor was still silent.
The figure who entered the room looked back at the door that had disappeared and then heaved a sigh with relief.
He put down the hood on his cloak, revealing a young face with bright eyes, white teeth, and delicate brows, but his eyes were far more mature than his age. It was Wilkes.
It was an illusion charm. By taking advantage of the night, he sneaked out of the common room, and came here.
Wilkes came here several times this week. He could not help but be excited because of the willingness he had just thought of in his heart and the arrangement that met his conditions.
The whole room is like an underground classroom in a castle. He lit a torch, and hundreds of books placed on the shelves on the wall appeared in front of him.
There are rows of old shelves around the room, all dusty, but neatly placed there.
Wilkes walked towards the shelves, excited, and he didn't recognize many things, but with his experience in Knockturn Alley, he also realized many good things.
"This is what the room of requirement has kept in the past years, but it's incredible. It's really a huge wealth. I hope it is as precious as a dragon egg." Wilkes secretly estimated in his heart.
He has recognized some magical items here.
These things are not fabricated. However, this place was used as a depo for magical items from the past until the present.
Wilkes cleverly took advantage of the characteristics of the room of requirement and kept thinking about his needs.
He wants to be able to see all the magic props and all the books stored in the room of requirement throughout the ages.
Although Wilkes also liked collecting valuable things, in order to save time, he did not have time to turn things around in the room of requirement.
After looking at it for a while, there are indeed many good things accumulated over hundreds of years. Among them, Wilkes even found a Pensieve, which made his eyes wide open in joy.
This is a good thing. It can help wizards to enter the memories they need to remember at any time, re-experiencing and thinking. It is an efficient magic prop.
Moreover, in the market, its price is not low.
Wilkes can also recall his own memories of Harry Potter's original scenario by using the Pensive, revisit the past, and seek more benefits.
Turning his head again, Wilkes also found many flying broomsticks of different styles, which made him happy.
In addition, he also found some unexpected precious magic materials that could be sold in Knockturn Alley for hundreds of galleons.
Over time, Wilkes's valuation for galleons became clearer.
Hundreds of galleons may do not sound like plenty, but in the wizarding world, even the wizards who work at the Ministry of Magic only earn hundreds of galleons in a month.
This still refers to the middle-class.
From the original book, the Weasley family, even a simple teaching book has to be bought second-hand because of the burdens of the family.
Wilkes can get them as long as he succeeded in selling the things here, and he will make a vast fortune.
However, Wilkes did not rush to collect them but continued to look for something, walking through the old shelves, looking at the unusual magic items.
"No, no, this is not, it's not..." Wilkes quickly searched for the thing he expected in his heart.
Finally, Wilkes stopped abruptly and stood in an unremarkable corner of the shelf. After looking down at an item, his pupils shrank.
"Found it! Ravenclaw's golden crown!"
Wilkes stepped back subconsciously and stared at the shelf seriously, a crown made of gold like a phoenix spreading its wings and inlaid with dim gems.
Ravenclaw's golden crown!
