Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1310: The news of the crown (2)

"Professor McGonagall okay?"

"Minerva is fine."

"The pink toad let Professor McGonagall easily?"

Ron felt unbelievable about this. Based on his understanding of Umbridge, it was obvious that the other party was not a toad who would give up easily.

"Umbridge was planning to use tough methods."

"Tough measures?"

"She brought a lot of Aurors, and she was sure to get the home addresses of the expelled students," Professor Flitwick said.

"And then?" Hermione asked.

"Minerva said that she burned that part of the record." Professor Flitwick said softly, "Albert had expected this day to come, and reminded her to burn that part of the data."

"Umbridge believed it?" Harry felt that the possibility was very low.

"Of course Umbridge doesn't want to believe it, and wants to use Veritaserum on Minerva." Professor Flitwick's eyes were full of unconcealable disgust.

"That guy is a lunatic, I really don't understand why she has so much prejudice against Muggle wizards."

Hermione simply could not understand Umbridge's crazy behavior.

"Later, there was almost a fight."

At that time, Flitwick had thought about attacking Umbridge and leaving Hogwarts.

"Umbridge gave in?" Ron couldn't believe it.

"It was Minerva herself who agreed to take a small amount of Veritaserum to prove that she was not lying, but Umbridge still refused to give up." Professor Flitwick still feels that Umbridge should be taught a lesson at that time. pause.

"I've never seen anyone as vicious as her." Harry said angrily, "If I had the chance, I would use the Oblivion Charm to turn her into an idiot."

Both Ron and Hermione looked at Harry in surprise.

"What happened next?"

"It was Snape who stopped the farce later." Professor Flitwick frowned.

"Snape?"

"I guess his master probably wants to use Hogwarts to control the parents of those students." Harry saw through Voldemort's purpose of controlling Hogwarts at a glance. Ci closed down."

"But, how did Professor McGonagall..." Hermione seemed to realize something, "She prepared the antidote for Veritaserum for herself?"

“Yes, we were also surprised at the time.”

Professor Flitwick stopped in front of an old bare wooden board and said to the three, "If you are really in trouble, I still suggest you go to Anderson, he is a prophet, I dare Bet he'll be able to help."

"Is this the entrance to the Ravenclaw common room?"

Ron looked at the door in front of him with no handle and no keyhole, only a bronze eagle knocker

"Yes, the question needs to be answered, like this." After Professor Flitwick knocked on the door, he opened his mouth and said in a gentle voice.

"Phoenix and fire, which one comes first?"

"Miss Granger, what do you think the answer is?" Professor Flitwick looked at Hermione.

"The phoenix will be reborn from the ashes, this is a cycle." Hermione replied, "There is no beginning and no end."

"Makes sense."

After the voice finished speaking, the door opened.

"Excellent answer." Professor Flitwick said with a smile, "Go in."

There was no one in the Ravenclaw public room. Inside was a large circular room with many windows on the walls. During the day, you could see the surrounding mountains and the scenery was beautiful.

However, Harry didn't pay attention to the scenery outside the window, his sight was attracted by a tall white marble statue standing in the alcove opposite the door.

Harry knew it was Royna Ravenclaw, and on her head was an elaborate marble replica of the ring that was the fabled Ravenclaw diadem.

"Hermione, do you have a camera?" Harry asked suddenly.

"How could I bring that kind of thing."

"If you want to take a picture, I can help." Professor Flitwick waved his wand, conjured a camera out of thin air, and helped Harry take a picture of Royana Ravenclaw's marble portrait .

"This is the Christmas present Albert gave me before." Professor Flitwick said as he handed the photo to Harry.

"Thank you, Professor, it was a great help." Harry took the photo and said.

"Maybe, we should ask Albert to come with us." Hermione suddenly had a strange feeling, she felt that Albert might have something to hide from them.

"What are your plans next?" Professor Flitwick put away the camera and asked, "Continue to search for news about the crown?"

"I'm going to see Ms. Gray." Harry's thoughts were very clear, "If you don't get anything, go to Professor Binns..."

"Harry, I found Ms. Gray." Ron reminded excitedly, staring at the Marauder's Map.

"We should leave the professor, I hope you can keep this secret for us for the time being, the less people know about some things, the higher the probability of our success."

After speaking, the three of Harry hurried towards Ms. Gray's position, but the other party disappeared through the wall before they arrived.

"Where is she?"

The three of them rushed over all the way, already out of breath from exhaustion.

"She just left."

Ron handed Harry the event map.

"Looks like we need some luck."

Harry took out the few remaining Felix Elixir, and after using it, he followed the guidance of the Felix Elixir and began to jog quickly.

A few minutes later, Harry finally managed to stop Ms. Gray.

"Ms. Gray, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I need your help." Harry glanced at the Marauder's Map, confirmed the other party's name, and said with certainty: "There is really something very important."

"Important thing?"

"Yes, it's very important. I hope I can talk to you. It's related to defeating the mysterious man. I don't think you want that guy to occupy Hogwarts and train the students here to become dark wizards. Go!" Harry stated his purpose directly, to prevent the other party from ignoring him and floating away through the wall.

"Harry."

Ron and Hermione arrived panting.

"What do you want to know?"

Ms. Gray looked at the three of Harry indifferently.

"Do you know where Ravenclaw's diadem is?" Harry added, "I just want to make sure that the mysterious man got the diadem."

"I don't know." Ms. Gray shook her head. "You are not the first to ask this question. Generations of students have pestered me to find out where the crown is."

Ms Gray lied, she actually knew where Ravenclaw's diadem was.

Shortly before Dumbledore's death, the crown was handed over to Albert, and he kept it temporarily. After the Second Wizarding War, Albert returned the crown to Hogg Watts.

Ms. Gray was at the scene and was one of the witnesses.

So, she knew what Potter said about defeating You-Know-Who, but she didn't understand why Albert and Dumbledore kept it from Harry Potter.

However, after Ms. Gray promised to help keep it secret, she naturally did not interrupt the violation of the agreement and told Harry Potter about the crown, compared to them having their own plans.

Looking at Ms. Gray who was leaving through the wall, Ron frowned and asked, "What should I do next? Go to Professor Binns?"

"I think Ms. Gray is lying," said Harry suddenly.

"What?"

"I suspect that Ms. Gray knows something ~IndoMTL.com~ but she doesn't want to tell us." Harry's mind turned quickly, and he suddenly asked, "Do you think Ms. Gray is a bit like someone?"

"Like who?"

Ron looked confused, not understanding what Harry was trying to convey.

"Ravenclaw, Royna Ravenclaw." Hermione said suddenly, "We just saw her portrait."

"Go to Professor Binns, I need to confirm one thing." Harry unfolded the activity map, began to search for the location of the ghost professor, and told the two of his guesses, "If Ms. Gray is really Ravenc Law's daughter or granddaughter, Professor Binns must know something."

"What if Ms. Gray doesn't want to admit it?"

"It's not important Hermione, it's true that her identity is more important. I suspect Albert is hiding something. With his level, he must have discovered this."

"But why didn't Albert tell us?"

"This is also what I don't understand."
