In Moody's opinion, the first night at Hogwarts was a waste of sleep.
Twain thought so too.
So he pulled out his wand without hesitation and knocked Moody out.
For a spirited lad like Moody, the spell was a good cure for insomnia.
Through the Marauder's Map, Tang En was certain that Tom had left Slugnes 'office and returned to the Slytherin common room.
Soon, Donald Duck brought back Tom's reply.
Tom wanted to meet Twain on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, across from a painting of a troll beating up Barnabas.
Tom did not explain the reason in the letter, but Twain knew.
Room of Requirement.
Voldemort later hid the diadem of Ravenclaw in the Room of Requirement after it was made into a Horcrux, which meant that he had already discovered the existence of the Room of Requirement when he was still a student.
However, just like the wizards who had discovered the Room of Requirement before, Tom thought that it was just a place for people to store junk, because there were indeed many strange and useless toys brought back by Hogwarts teachers from all ages.
This included the Mirror of Erised, which Dumbledore later used to hide the Sorcerer's Stone.
There was also the Vanishing Cabinet that could teleport in the opposite direction.
One of the Vanishing Cabinet had been left in the Room of Requirement, while the other was in Borgin and Burkes, which was in a toppled alley.
Now that the secret of the Vanishing Cabinet had not been discovered, Twain planned to go to the alley after a while and get his hands on another Vanishing Cabinet.
This thing could even ignore the magic circle of Hogwarts Castle. It would be very convenient to use it as a portal.
What was certain was that neither Tom nor the people who had discovered the Room of Requirement before had discovered its true purpose.
Otherwise, Tom, who later became Lord Voldemort, would not have hidden something as important as the Horcrux inside.
The Room of Requirement could be turned into a venue for any user, and most importantly, it could not be marked on the map.
Once inside, the name would disappear from the Marauder's Map.
Because of this, Twain had always been curious about the origins of the Room of Requirement.
It was obvious that the Room of Requirement was not a room that actually existed in Hogwarts Castle. Instead, it was an alternate dimension created using magic power.
This was the only way to explain the wonders of the Room of Requirement.
The only thing that Tang En could not figure out was where the magic power supply of the Room of Requirement came from.
To be able to open up an alternate dimension and maintain a stable existence for thousands of years required a massive amount of magic power, and only Hogwarts Castle could provide a stable supply of magic power to the House of Requirement.
After getting the Marauder's Map and learning the secrets of all the magic circles in Hogwarts Castle, Twain finally understood the principle of the Room of Requirement.
The magic circle of Hogwarts Castle was drawing magic power from the outside at all times to supply magic power to other magic circles.
When the four founders first built Hogwarts Castle, they added many defensive magic arrays, but they soon discovered that these magic arrays did not need to be activated at all times.
Under normal circumstances, they only needed to ensure the basic operation of the castle.
The extra mana had no use and could only be stored.
However, there was a limit to the amount of magic power that could be stored, and exceeding it would result in unpredictable consequences.
In order to solve this problem, the four founders worked together to create the Room of Requirement to consume excess magic power.
It was a great place for secret meetings, but the biggest problem was that it could not be used exclusively.
As long as they knew the location of the Room of Requirement and the method to enter, anyone could enter.
Now that Twain had the authority to be the founder of the castle, there were at least two ways to solve this problem.
The first method was to change the location of the entrance to the Room of Requirement so that it was no longer fixed, so that only Twain knew the location of the entrance.
The second method was slightly more troublesome. It required changing the magic circle at the entrance of the Room of Requirement and adding a password. This way, just like the common rooms of the four Hogwarts Houses, only those who knew the password could enter.
As a mature " adult," Twain certainly wanted everything.
The two methods alone were not safe, but when combined, they could solve the problem perfectly.
However, this was all in the future.
At the moment, Twain had to go to the Room of Requirement to meet his brother, the future Dark Lord Voldemort.
After throwing the unconscious Moody onto the bed, Twain closed the dormitory door and went downstairs.
The fireplace in the common room was still burning, but everyone had already gone to bed at this time. Twain smoothly crossed the tunnel and left Gryffindor Tower.
Before setting off, Tang En first confirmed through the Marauder's Map that Dumbledore, Headmaster Armando Dippet, and the deans of the other three academies were all in their respective residences before setting off with ease.
As for Sam, the gatekeeper, Twain glanced at him. He was loitering around the auditorium.
This was the least of his worries.
Even without the Marauder's Map, Twain had many ways to deal with Sam.
The Memory Charm had already been used on Sirius Black once, and a wizard like Dumbledore could see through it at a glance.
However, Tang En still had Legilimency, which was an omniscient insight after being washed clean. He could erase the other party's memory to ensure that even Dumbledore would not see the slightest problem.
Tang En had already verified this point when he first met Dumbledore on the Knight Coach.
They arrived on the eighth floor of the castle without any obstructions. Tom arrived a step earlier than Twain.
When Twain approached and could see his face clearly, Tom walked out from the shadow of a statue next to him.
The handsome face that looked 50 - 60% similar to Twain's, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, were all exactly the same as in his memory.
The Voldemort of his student days was indeed charismatic.
If the Hogwarts selection for the school hunk could only be given to someone else, then he would definitely vote for Aberasas Malfoy without hesitation.
In terms of looks alone, the Elven Prince was indeed better looking than Tom.
Of course, this would not hinder the brotherhood between Twain and Tom.
As soon as they met, Tom walked up to Twain and gave him a brotherly hug.
"Looks like you've passed Dumbledore's test.”
"I knew you could, but you still need to be wary of Dumbledore, even if you're a Gryffindor now.”
