Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 675: Needless pursuit

In fact, since Hermione brought Harry and the others to the responsive room that day, they knew about the Horcrux and quickly recalled the second-year secret room and the basilisk attack.

In the back room, they saw Tom Riddle with their own eyes-from the black-covered diary.

For this reason, during the holidays, they made enough preparations to break into the Slytherin secret room again. Because in the second grade, there was no evidence to prove the death of the basilisk, so they naturally thought that the basilisk might still be alive in the secret room.

Because of this, the three little lions and Luna this little eagle have deliberately stepped up to practice. Including the eye disease curse that is said to be effective against the basilisk, including the existence curse that can barely grasp its movements with closed eyes, and the potion to resist petrification...

Even, Hermione went to buy two big roosters to target the weakness of the basilisk.

Of course, this is only because it is mentioned in the book that the crow of a rooster can drive away the basilisk. But whether this is really effective or not is unclear.

It's a pity, although they have made a series of preparations to deal with the "possibly" basilisk that is still alive. But when I got there, I found that the basilisk had disappeared long ago, and there was only a pile of rocks.

Of course, Tom Riddle's diary was not found either. Harry and the others were somewhat puzzled about this, but Hermione thought that the diary might have been taken away by Maca long ago.

As for the secret room in the secret room that Maca found when he went back to investigate for the second time, he had already sealed it off, but Hermione and the others didn't notice it.

"...I heard a story from Ms. Gray, do you...want to hear it?"

In the Hogwarts forecourt garden, when the three little lions were worrying about no other clues, Luna, who had always stood still by the side, suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Gray? Oh... is that the ghostly beauty of your Ravenclaw College?" Ron scratched his head, "Although I really want to hear it, but now... it doesn't seem to be a story. Right?"

Everyone is getting used to Luna's inexplicable language. Ron naturally thought Luna's thoughts were off the track again, even Harry thought so, only Hermione noticed it a little.

"What story? Is it something related to Horcrux?" Hermione still asked about it, based on the principle of not letting go of any clues that might exist.

"Oh, I don't know...maybe?" Luna said in a misty eyes, as if she had entered her unique trance mode, "at least it has something to do with Tom Riddle...it's him, from Ms. Gray He deceived the location of Ravenclaw's golden crown..."

……

Ms. Gray...that is, Helena Ravenclaw, this is a dignified and beautiful woman. After death, she turned into a ghost, but she can still be called a beautiful woman. Naturally, her appearance during her lifetime can be imagined.

It's just that the ghostly beauty of this Ravenclaw college woman is beautiful, but she always has a domineering posture, which makes people feel that it is not easy to get close.

If it hadn't been for Maca to go to her in advance and try to say hello, Luna's temperament would probably not overlap with this thorny rose.

In general, Ms. Gray has taken care of Luna since Luna enrolled in school. For example, when Luna is unfamiliar with the castle, she can follow her fingertips, or she can chat occasionally. Over time, this living person and ghost gradually developed so many friendships.

Because of some past events, Ms. Gray doesn't like those who pretend, and the thing she can't stand the most is deception. But Luna happened to be an extremely pure girl, and this alone still liked her very much.

So, one day after Voldemort was wiped out by Maca, Ms. Gray seemed to feel a little emotional about the past. And Luna became the object of her confession.

"Do you know? The man who died there a few days ago stole something from me."

On the same day, in front of a certain window in the Ravenclaw Tower, Ms. Gray said so quietly. In her translucent eyes, a complex light shone slightly, seeming to be caught in some embarrassing memories.

"Stealing is wrong." Luna then glanced at the ghost floating by the window and said.

Although Luna's words are simple and empty, they seem to be unimaginably heavy for Ms. Gray. The other party also looked at Luna's side, but quickly looked away.

"Yes! It's wrong to steal things..." Ms. Gray repeated this sentence softly, with deep meaning in the words, "Maybe, because I stole things first, I will be punished again and again later. ?"

She was talking, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Do you still know?" She said, "That man stole my trust in him... He stole my trust in a despicable way..."

Luna didn't speak this time, she just stood on the side as usual, quietly acting as a listener. Sure enough, Ms. Gray didn't wait for her to say anything, she continued to talk.

"That man, Tom Riddle..." she said, "He used fancy words to please me, he praised my beauty and wisdom, and he said I was no worse than my mother. Then... he took advantage of it. When I had a good impression of him, I asked me where the crown made by my mother was. He also said that he would help me find it, and then give it to me again..."

"But...but..." At this point, Ms. Gray said with great loss, "He still lied to me--he clearly found the golden crown, but didn't give it to me, and lied that he didn't find it at all. "

"I know he must have found it, because no one except me knows where the golden crown is, it must still be there..."

While speaking, Ms. Gray shook her head slowly, her eyes looking out the window were full of weakness.

"But, what can I do with him again?" She continued, "I'm just a ghost, and he had already graduated. He returned to Hogwarts that day, only to apply for Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Professorship... Later, he didn't apply for it, so he left by himself..."

……

"...Ravenclaw's golden crown."

Hermione clearly knew what the crown mentioned in Luna's account was. But seeing her ponder for a while, then she frowned and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." Luna chanted in a light tone, "Ravenclaw's golden crown can enhance the wisdom of the wearer."

"But I really didn't expect that Ms. Gray turned out to be Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter..." Ron's concern was obviously a bit skewed elsewhere.

"So, there seems to be a clue... but is it broken when I get here?" Harry said helplessly, "Voldemort might make the golden crown into his Horcrux and hide it somewhere... After all, how many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?"

"Who knows?" Hermione said, "But at least, I definitely won't just do one--it's obviously too unsafe for him! You think we encountered it so easily. This diary..."

Hermione's analysis is naturally somewhat reasonable. But they didn't know that the reason why the diary appeared under their noses was actually the "credit" of Lucius Malfoy.

While they were still thinking about the number of Horcruxes, Ron suddenly spoke again.

"Actually," he hesitated, "I'm more curious about Ms. Gray... Luna, you mentioned earlier, she said she also stole something? That's why she was punished or something... …"

"Yeah." Luna nodded quickly. "She stole her mother's golden crown and hid it in the forests of Albania... She said that it should be a big tree. Hole."

That's it~IndoMTL.com~ Luna was interested instead, and whispered in a serious voice: "Later, Rowena Ravenclaw dispatched Ms. Gray to get her daughter back. Go looking for Barrow...Do you know who Barrow is? In fact, he is the **** Barrow from Slytherin!"

"Oh, this is really another amazing news!" Ron said with a gossiping face, "So what? Later? There should be some story...you don't tell me that there is no more..."

"Later," Luna said mysteriously, "Barrow, because Ms. Gray was unwilling to go back to Hogwarts with him, so he stabbed Ms. Gray to death!"

"This..."

Since no one thought that Ms. Gray would have died in this way, the three of them seemed quite shocked when they gestured. But Luna didn't pause for long, and then went on...

"...But after Ms. Gray died, Barrow was also very regretful, so he committed suicide on the spot." She said, "So Barrow became the **** Barrow--the blood on his body was not It’s only one's own, and some belong to Ms. Gray."

"Barrow the Blood Man has such a grumpy temper. It's not surprising that this kind of thing happens..." Harry nodded, "But put these stories aside! What we need to know now is what Voldemort did. Where is the golden crown hidden?"

As Harry said before, he finally got an unexpected clue from Luna, but when he got here, the clue was broken again.

Two consecutive items that may be Horcruxes can only be traced on the way. This feeling is undoubtedly frustrating. But the world is so big, and wizards can use the Phantom Manifestation to scurry around the world at any time. It is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack to find something deliberately hidden.

After that, time passed by day by day, and before I knew it, the International Alchemy Competition was near.
