Yeah! Here's the new chapter!

I stood in front of the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy, teaching ballet to the Trolls, looking at her strangely.
'Why can't any Hogwarts pass be normal?' I wondered, curious to know what went through the wizards' minds when they came to create these passages.
'Sigh, never mind' I thought, and then I started to think, 'Now... what kind of room do I ask for?...'
'How about a library?' I wondered, 'So I'll see what kinds of books the Room of Requirement has, and then I'll be able to compare them to Ravenclaw library and Hogwarts library...'
'Damn…I really am a Ravenclaw' I cursed, 'I'm in a room that could be any room, and the first thing I ask for is a library... Sigh' and then I started walking back and forth three times, asking for somewhere with a library for me to study.
As I made my third lap, a door began to appear in the wall.
'Yes! Finally I'll be able to see the most incredible place in the castle... And the one with the greatest secrets and mysteries... More than the Chamber of Secrets,' I thought, excited. So I went towards the door and put my hand on it, and with a little push I saw it open for me.
Once the door opened fully, I could see a hall, the same size or even bigger than the Hogwarts Library. This hall was basically another library, but it had several sofas, armchairs and tables spread around it and had soft lighting that came from god knows where it come from. This library had a very cozy feel.
This library had thousands of shelves that sat on hundreds of bookcase, floor-to-ceiling, and the height of this room must have been about twenty meters. And looking closely at this library, it looked like all the books they had in the Hogwarts Library were here, with a few more.
These books are probably the books that were lost around the castle, as the Room of Requirement seemed to copy all the school books and put them here. Well, I can't think of any other way in this room to have all these books.
As I passed the huge library, also noticing that the door behind me had closed, I started looking through the books. Many of the books they had here I had already seen either in the library or at Flourish and Blotts, but I also saw a lot of books that I hadn't seen before, some even seemed to be very rare and old.
I always thought this was a very underused room in the franchise. If you have a room that could be any other room, with no known boundaries, why be content to ask for a simple training room?
My biggest disappointment with JK Rowling is that she didn't delve further into the mysteries of magic or in the wizarding communities.
Although in the movies, Fantastic Beasts, they started to go deeper, but unfortunately I died before I could see what would happen... Damn.
Now I won't know if Credence, or Aurelius, is really Dumbledore's brother...
"Sigh... At least I can see if there's any of this information in the real wizarding world" I said, looking at the millions of books, "I also have to bring Anthony and Terry here at some point, they'll be shocked" I said, already able to imagine the hilarious reaction they would have.
"But speaking of the boys, what are they doing?"

Meanwhile in the Ravenclaw Common Room
"Vanesha Wilkins is PlayWizard's Hottest Witch" Anthony said resolutely.
"I still think Petra Lonsher is better. Have you seen her curves?" Terry asked Anthony with a faraway look.
"..."
"..."
"Hmm, true"

"Meh," I shrugged, and then continued to look around the room.
'Here are so many books that I think even if I read 100 books a day in my seven years at Hogwarts, I wouldn't even be able to finish 1/8 of the library' I thought in awe, looking at the labyrinth of bookshelves in front of me. .
Here, as in the Hogwarts library, it has every book from every year since the school was founded, and it will continue to grow with time. And all this without counting the books that students and teachers lost, and that come to the Room of Hidden Things, gathering a thousand years of books, with many of them being rare or just a few teenagers' diaries.
"So…where to start?" I spoke out loud, with an excited smile on my face. And after that I started going from shelf to shelf and bookcase to bookcase, picking up all the books with titles that caught my attention.
______________________________________________________________
*BAM*
"Phew! So I'll start with these," I said, slamming a stack of books onto the table. This stack of books had about 20 books, each one more peculiar than the last.
Some books looked very old and others looked very rare. I didn't choose these books just for their looks, but also because of the titles and the magic that was involved in them.
Occlumency: A Mind and Its Barriers, by Gregorius Burke;
Soul Animagus, by Cassilia Knight;
Duel Spells and the Foundation for a Warrior, by Richard Wheton;
The Ancient Language, by Mathew J. Abraham;
1946 Auror Handbook, by Gerrard Hunter;
The Art of Inscription and Runes, by Enrico Klaus.
These were just some of the titles of the books I picked up. But four books were untitled, and I only chose them for their magic. The magic in these books might be old, but the amazing thing is that they weren't decaying, for the magic, or the mage who left the residue, was very powerful.
There were also some books that were written in some language I didn't know, so I couldn't read what was written.
But that's why I picked up the book The Ancient Language. This book talked about different languages from the 10th to the 19th century. And when I glanced through the pages, I saw that in one of the chapters there were some spells that could help me understand other languages better. In short, a translator spell!
I also chose the other five books for a few reasons.
I chose the book, Occlumency: A Mind and Its Barriers, because even though I know occlumency, everything I learned was self-taught, and a book to help me know if I've done something wrong or if I'm going to have to fix something will help very.
I tried to find some books on occlumency in Diagon Alley bookstores, but it seems that books on this subject are scarce and rare, and only a few pure-blood families have them.
I also looked for books on legilimency but I couldn't find any, and it wasn't until after reading a book on wizarding laws that I understood why.
Occlumency as a mind-protecting spell is considered legal, but it is still rare to find books and difficult to learn. Legilimency, on the other hand, is treated as something dark because it is a magic used to invade another person's mind, and only a select few are allowed to study them, and oddly enough, legilimency is easier to learn than occlumency .
The book Soul Animagus interested me because it's a magic that fascinates me, and one of the first things that came to my mind when I found out I was in the world of Harry Potter, besides wanting to come to Hogwarts, was that I wanted to become an Animagus .
The Animagus transformation might have been considered difficult, and recommended not to try if I wasn't a 7th Grade and if I didn't have a supervisor, but if the Marauders managed to do without a proper supervisor when they weren't even in their fifth year, the that prevented me from achieving?
End.
