Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

Chapter 44
That night the four friends decided that they had to find the list of spells to fix the castle at all costs,
even if it meant that they didn't sleep for the next few nights.
They got to the room of requirement and were soon inside. The now familiar shelves that were filled
with writings by the founders and those who had built the school surrounded them.
"Alright, maybe we've been going about this wrong," said Harry after a few hours, "how have we been
asking for the list?"
"I need a list of spells that will fix the school," said Hermione, saying it to the room as much as to
Harry.
"I want the spells that will fix the school," said Ron, again to the room as much as to Harry.
"Please help us fix the school?" said Ginny, posing it more as a question than a statement.
"And I've been asking for a way to fix the school," said Harry, sitting down exasperatedly.
"You know, Einstein said, 'the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results,'" Hermione said as she too sat down.
"So what, we're insane?" asked Ginny.
"And who's Einstein?" asked Ron.
"EMc2? The theory of relativity?" Ron and Ginny shook their heads.
Hermione looked just as exasperated as Harry, but obviously for different reasons. "I keep forgetting
that you guys didn't grow up in the muggle world. Harry what about you; do you know who Einstein
is?"
"I've heard the name, but don't really know much about him." said Harry, obviously tired, "But that
doesn't matter unless he can tell us where the list of spells put on the castle is."
"Wait," said Ron suddenly, his face lighting up, "say that again."
"That again," said Harry.
"No," said Ron, too excited to berate Harry for his stupid joke, "the part about the spells on the castle."
"Einstein doesn't matter unless he can tell us where the list of spells put on the castle is," Harry said,
taking his head out of his hands and looking at Ron. "Hermione, your boyfriend is insane."
"I know," said Hermione, also looking at Ron, "but I think he has an idea. Go on Ron, what are you
thinking," said Hermione, encouraging Ron on.
"You know that book that you showed us a while ago?" Ron asked Hermione.
"Yes," said Hermione hesitantly. She wasn't sure what Ron was thinking, but if he had an idea they
might as well try it, it's not like they had anything else.
"It said that there was a list of spells that had been put on the school, and that to get that list all
somebody had to do was ask." Ron was really excited now.
"Yes," said Hermione, still a bit confused, "and that person had to be the person who could perform all
those spells."
"Right…but that's not important right now," said Ron, "what's important is that we've been asking for a
way to fix the castle…"
