Chapter 21: Room of Recquirements.

After finishing breakfast, Neville reminded us that today's first class was Herbology. We walked through the castle's grounds, passed through a series of glass double doors leading into a long, narrow corridor, and entered the greenhouse and took our places.

Professor Sprout was already waiting in the class. "Good morning, class!" she said joyfully.

"Today we will revise spiky bushes and how to handle them in today's class," Professor Sprout said and started to explain about the spiky bushes.

"To destroy these spiky bushes, you need to conjure fire using {incendio}," Professor Sprout said with a calm face.

She took her wand, pointed at one of the spiky bushes, and cast {incendio}. A fire came from the tip of her wand like a bullet and destroyed the spiky bush.

"Now try to use the Incendio charm to destroy the spiky bush, but be careful when you cast the spell and stand at a safe distance," she warned with a serious look.

I took my wand and pointed it at the spiky bush that was allocated to me and said the incantation "{incendio}." A fire came from the tip of my wand like a jet and struck the spiky bush, which completely turned into ashes.

"Well done, Mr. Grindelwald, for casting the spell on the first try. 10 points for Gryffindor," Professor Sprout said with a gentle smile. After me, surprisingly Seamus was able to destroy the spiky bush by correctly casting the spell.

I saw Harry was able to cast {incendio}, followed by Neville and Hermione. I helped Ron, and after some time, he was also able to cast the spell.

After that, Professor Sprout started to explain how to remove the roots of the spiky bushes from the soil using the shovel and insisted that we always keep some safe distance while examining a spiky bush.

After the class, I went to the library and took the advanced spell book and started to write down any useful spells hurriedly because today's goal was to find the Room of Requirements.

After writing in the book, I took my pocket watch and looked at the time. "There is still time," I thought and exited the library. I walked through the moving staircase and went to the seventh floor.

There, I went to each blank wall and walked back and forth three times in front of a stretch of blank wall. While walking back and forth, I thought of a room to practice my dueling.

When I went near one of the walls, I noticed a portrait in which Barnabas the Barmy was attempting to teach trolls to ballet.

While looking at this scene, I laughed at it and started to walk back and forth three times in front of a stretch of wall. Suddenly, a door slowly started to appear on the wall. I opened the door and went inside.

When I looked at the dueling chamber, it was a large, circular room with high ceilings, and it had several pairs of balconies overlooking the central area.

The central area had a smooth stone floor, marked with lines and circles to indicate the boundaries and rules of the duel.

The room was also equipped with various magical objects, such as spell targets, conjured obstacles, and defensive barriers, that could be used during the duel.

It contained lots of dummies with many different types, some containing a wand, some an axe, some a sword, and some shields. There were also many swords and shields.

After spending some time inside the Room of Requirements looking around, I looked at the time.

"...."

"It's already time for the next class," I walked out of the room and went towards the third floor and entered the next class, Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Like always, I sat at the last bench.

"Why are Harry and the others still not arrived in the class?" while I was thinking, "Hi, Stifen, can you help me with a doubt I have?" a voice was heard from behind.

When I turned back, I saw Parvati's twin sister, Padma Patil, standing with a book in her hands.

"Aren't you Parvati's sister?" I asked her, even though I already knew her.

"Yes, can you help me with DADA studies?" she asked me hesitantly.

"Why me?" I asked her because Ravenclaws are known for their knowledge thirst.

"Well, because I saw you teaching Harry and others from your house while DADA class was going on. By the look of them, they understood well. Professor Quirrell's teaching is difficult to understand. That's why I wanted to ask you," she told me hesitantly.

"I can tell her to ask her senior, but that will be rude." I thought about it for a while. "Sure, no problem, but I can only teach you what I understand. Don't expect too much," I said to her, to which she happily nodded and sat before me.

It's nearly time for the class to begin, and Professor Quirrell also came to the class, but there's still no sign of those four, including Hermione, coming here.

When Quirrell begins his lecture, Harry and the others entered the class.

""""Sorry, Professor,""""

the four of them excused themselves from Quirrell, who only muttered and once again started to take class. "Where have you guys been? I even thought about posting a missing notice on every floor," I asked them with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, we have been waiting for a certain someone at the entrance of the library," Ron said with an irritated look.

"When we went inside, you were not in the library. Where have you been?" Harry asked me with the same look like 'you left us behind and arrived at the class before us.'
