Chapter 99 - Weird Book!

Somewhere in the school, Gray was walking in a long hallway while looking around.

"Gray where are we going?" Perona in soul form came out from the wall beside Gray and looked around then asked.

"To the seventh floor" Gray answered and kept walking.

"Seventh floor? is there something there? What is it?" Hearing Gray's answer, Perona was so curious, this magic school is full of wonder, even though she went to many places in this school already, but every time she will find interesting and a new thing here or there.

So she's very curious to know what Gray is looking for, every time Gray wants to find something, it always turned to be a very amazing thing. In this already amazing school, what he wants to find should be really amazing.

"You will find out soon" Gray smiled and didn't tell her but kept searching his memories.

According to his memories, there is an important room on the seventh floor in the left corridor of the Hogwarts castle.

That room should have what he needs right now.

After all, it's called the Room of Requirement!

The Room of Requirement, also known as the Come and Go Room.

It's a secret room within Hogwarts Castle, that only appears when a person is in great need of it.

The room is thought to have some degree of sentience because it transforms itself into whatever the witch or wizard needs it to be at that moment in time, although there are some limitations.

"Meow" While walking a red-eyed cat suddenly came from the door not far away and turned her face in Gray direction.

But there was nothing.

"There is nothing here, let's go Mrs. Norris" A few seconds after the cat's appearance, another old man appeared holding a lamp in hand, and also looked at the long hallway, and said.

After saying this he walked back, while the cat looked in Gray's direction for a few seconds then turned back following her owner.

Argus Filch the caretaker of the school. Filch should be wandering around the school corridors with his cat Mrs. Norris, trying to catch students breaking the school rules.

Gray who already entered an invisible mode stood still, looking at the light from the door not far away fading away, then showed himself again.

"That cat is not cute at all...." Perona came out from the wall and said. That cat's eyes are really weird...

And Gray also thought the same, that cat, really have weird eyes. Even vampire eyes won't be so red like this! Even though he didn't see a real vampire till now...

"Well... Let's go..." Gray said and continued his way.

After ten minutes Gray finally reached the wall that looks somehow familiar to his memories.

Well... It's just a normal wall... They all look the same... But the place looks familiar.

"Now?" Perona beside Gray looked at him watching the wall and said.

"Perona... Try to enter this wall, see if there is something behind it" Gray looked at the wall and said.

"Okay," Perona said and directly entered the wall, but after ten seconds she came out and said that there is nothing behind the wall.

"Hmmm" Gray also did the same and tried to enter the wall, but found nothing.

So he came out and only stood in front of the wall while thinking.

Perona on the side saw Gray is focusing and said nothing, she just waited with him.

Gray stood there and thought about what he really needs right now.

1 minute... 10 minutes... The wall didn't change...

Gray started thinking if it's the right wall or not.

While thinking of this, finally the wall started changing and a big door appeared in front of him.

"A door appeared!" Perona beside Gray looked at this and said with surprise.

Gray also smiled then walked forward and opened the door.

Gray and Perona entered the room, and the door closed by itself then changed to the wall again, as of it wasn't there form the beginning!

...

Gray and Perona stood in a huge hall.

A very big hall filled with many and many things.

Looking around at this huge hall, Gray wondered what he might find.

"Perona, return to your body, we will search around the hall," Gray said this and released her body from the ring, so she can help him searching around.

He and Perona didn't separate and walked beside each other, searching for useful things.

And they actually found many things, and most of them are very useful things!

For example a detailed magic theory book, many magic wands, magic tools.

This room is more like a magical treasure!

To tell the truth, for magic wands, Gray doesn't care so much, after all, he can simply copy the house-elf magic type and use magic. But the elves can also use wands, which will make their magic stronger.

So he's also planning to extract attributes from wands he found and merge them into his ring, so he won't need to hold wand while fighting. But for now, he will try to act like all wizards and hold a wand normally, so not let the others think too much.

After searching almost everything inside the room and taking many things to his ring.

Gray found an unusual box in the corner of this room.

One black dusty box. With many locks on it, and a paper on top of the box with a few words on it.

*Don't get closer! Extremely dangerous!*

Looking at this closed box Gray raised a wand he found and...

"*Alohomora*" Gray said a spell.

With his word, the box locks twitched a little but didn't open.

Alohomora... Unlocking Charm, one of the magic skills he found in Hermione D disk.

This charm job is simply to unlock seals... Whatever it is...

Had to say this is very useful magic!

He not only copied knowledge and memories but also copied some magic skills he found randomly.

This spell, he found it inside Hermione's D disk. But the size was a little pitiful... not even 100 MB... From this, he can see that her mastery over this spell is not good at all, yet can be used...

But it's still not enough to unlock this box...

Gray withdraw the wand and touched the locks with his hand.

These locks are actually made of iron. So Gray simply controlled and removed them one by one.

Soon the box was opened for Gray.

Looking inside the box Gray found a big black book. A very beautiful black book, giving Gray the feeling that he wants to open it.

But Gray also felt weirdness from this book, this weirdness made him more curious about what this book is, so he wanted to take it out.

But suddenly he stopped his action and wanted to close the box again.

Yup... He won't touch that book... Every time he feels weird for any item, it will turn out to be a cursed item... Let's not say this is a magical world... The crown on his head, was also from a magical world...

And he was really about to close it, it's just...

"Hey, Gray! Look at what I found!" Perona came to Gray's side while holding a big black hat with some gold on it, a very beautiful and elegant witch hat.

She didn't stop and directly hit Gray's shoulder which moved his hand that was about to close the box.

"..." Gray.

Gray didn't move, just watched his hand that is already in touch with the book.

1 Second ..... 10 Seconds...

Gray froze on his place waiting for whatever might happen.

But seeing nothing really happened, Gray took his hand back and sighed with relief.

"Perona..." Then Gray turned his face back to Perona with an angry look. What she did just now really scared him!

Seeing Gray's little angry face, Perona looked around as if nothing happened.

But suddenly Perona froze in her place and raised her hand pointing at the direction of the box.

Seeing Perona's speechless face, Gray knows that something wrong happened behind him, so without even thinking, he rushed Perona and wanted to hide her inside the ring and try to leave this place.

But will this work?

The book behind him was already suspended in the air and opened itself while a black smoke like abyss smoke came out and rushed at Gray.

The moment Gray touched Perona, the smoke already engulfed them then dragged all the smoke back to its heart and closed itself.

With this, the book dropped to the ground as if nothing happened here. And the hall also returned to silence.
