Chapter 465 Reflections
So why did Ms. Vida call me over yesterday?
Sitting in her office chair, Loila frowned, unsure of what to do.
Is it just to have a chat with myself?
She doesn't seem to understand very well — Loila has never been good at understanding others, so it's even more difficult for her to understand a smart and elegant lady like Ms. Vida.
But what is that thing Ms. Veda was talking about? — It's something like a heart — Could it be that she's talking about someone Ms. Veda likes?
Loila found it hard to believe that Ms. Vida would have someone she liked—after all, she seemed like a career-driven, strong woman when she was with the UMNO!
However, Ms. Vida's words still greatly encouraged Loila, especially when she said that only Karkaroff had died, which was really cool!
He also said to tell her if there was any trouble. Does that mean that if he were to be arrested, Ms. Vida would intervene?
Although I don't know how she'll make her move, she seems really powerful.
Loila chuckled softly at the thought, a smile spreading across her face, even her pointed ears wobbling happily.
Alright, alright, don't prepare for the worst. I'm not ready to get caught!
Besides, we still have work to do today, don't we?
Loila straightened her expression and switched to a working posture.
The work on the maze was still ongoing, and although Loila wanted to speed things up, as the only person capable of drawing such a large and complex magic circle, she had no help.
Having to do everything myself—it's a bittersweet experience.
But if I had to say, it's still much better than actually attending a banquet and the dancing or something beforehand.
Thinking this, Loila stepped out of the office and headed towards the Room of Requirement. Today's main task was to connect the energy storage magic array in the Room of Requirement to the maze in order to test the efficiency of sharing magic power.
After all, the amount of magic that can be used will determine the exact size of the maze, right?
If the magic power inside the Room of Requirement is far less than I imagined, then the maze will have to be designed to be smaller — but there's no need to worry too much, based on Loira's previous guesses, the magic power inside the Room of Requirement is definitely not small.
After all, it supplied the entire Hogwarts Castle.
This huge, useless spiral staircase in front of us has used up a lot of magic, so if it really doesn't work, stopping it for a while shouldn't make a difference.
Following the stairs upwards, Loila made her way to the sixth floor with practiced ease. She was no longer the person who had just arrived at Hogwarts and didn't know the way; she now remembered the route perfectly.
Wait a minute—why is there a door here?
Loila stared blankly at the door on the wall, momentarily confused—wasn't this the entrance to the House of Requirement?
I haven't even gone back and forth three times yet—how come there's already a door?
Could it be that the magic array is malfunctioning? Or is there someone inside?
Loila instinctively reached out to open the door, but then she hesitated, thinking that the person inside might be someone she didn't know.
This is quite an awkward exchange—after all, this is the Room of Requirement—even doing some strange things inside seems normal.
It's probably better if I don't bother them.
But—Loila paced back and forth at the door for a few seconds, wondering what she should do if she didn't check the Room of Requirement today.
I can't go back to the office, that seems a bit silly—so how about I just stay here and wait for a bit?
Maybe that person will come out in a little while?
But it doesn't seem appropriate to stand here and wait—it would be awkward if he happened to come out at that moment, wouldn't it?
After thinking for a moment, Luo Yi tiptoed to the corner of the corridor and carefully peeked out to observe.
Although it's a bit strange to do it so secretly, this way we can know as soon as that person leaves, right?
However, as she watched, Loila felt a little sleepy—after all, there didn't seem to be much point in just standing guard at the door and staring at the corridor—maybe she should memorize the magic circle for a while?
That's how I spent my time when I was bored in Durmstrang, isn't it? — But Muller seems to have said that always muttering to himself like that makes him look like a madman.
But Dad likes it this way too—it's impossible that Dad is actually crazy, right?
But genius and madness are indeed separated by only a thin wall — Loila was lost in thought when she suddenly heard a soft "creak".
Then she came to her senses and saw that the door to the Room of Requirement had been opened.
The person who came out surprised her for a moment.
The person who came out was not a professor from Hogwarts, nor even a student, but Mr. Wilhelm von Steinberg from Germany!
He seemed to be holding something, and his expression was quite serious.
Is he here to investigate the case?
But why is the investigation here? — Karkaroff has never been here before — and isn't this a very secluded place?
How did Mr. Steinberg know about the Room of Requirement?
Or was it because I was too stupid and only realized it after Dumbledore reminded me?
Loila's thoughts were a little confused for a moment, but she really didn't understand why Mr. Steinberg was here.
And it seemed he was holding something in his hand—it didn't look very big, but before we could see it clearly, Mr. Steinberg hid it in his clothes.
Is Mr. Steiberg here to steal something?
Luo Yili pursed her lips and had a rather bold idea—it probably couldn't be, right?
After all, everything in the Room of Requirement is made of magic, so even if you take it away, it will turn back into magic — or perhaps, that thing just happened to be in his hand, and wasn't taken from the Room of Requirement.
But if that's the case, why does Mr. Stöger look so wary?
Loila shrank back, looking at his departing figure with a moment of confusion.
Despite her confusion, Loila wasn't curious.
Actually, it should be said that he dared not be curious, after all, Mr. Steinberg is now his biggest enemy—it would be dangerous to get too involved with him.
Attracting the attention of a detective is not a good thing.
After she could no longer hear footsteps, Loila nodded gently, then tiptoed back to the door of the House of Requirement.
Although she was a little curious about what was in the room Mr. Steinberg had just entered, Loila decided it was better to avoid getting involved—especially when it concerned him.
After circling around three times, she nodded slightly and went into the house where every request was granted.
