Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1312: Someone spoils the show

Harry had just tried a few passwords that Dumbledore had used before, and found that it had no effect on the stone monster in front of him, so Harry gave up the idea of ​​continuing to try. The three of them realized that it was Snape who modified the stone monster. The password was extremely complicated, which almost meant that Snape became the headmaster of Hogwarts. sink

Only the principal is qualified to do that.

They had to stand in front of the stone monster and wait patiently for Albert to come and pick them up.

"Why don't you ask what Albert's password is?" Ron said to Hermione while looking around with the help of the Marauder's Map.

"It's unlikely, maybe some spell was used." Hermione speculated.

"What spell?"

"You will ask him later."

"Do you think Albert will have found Ravenclaw's diadem long ago?" Harry interrupted the conversation between the two, guessing, "That guy is very smart, since we can find the clues, he It's definitely possible, and it shouldn't be difficult to get Mrs. Gray to tell the truth." Hui

"Albert is not a liar." Hermione glanced at Harry and said, "And, does that really make sense?"

"Dumbledore is also an insider?"

"This is inevitable."

"There is obviously no need for Dumbledore to lie and deceive us about this matter." Although Harry had similar thoughts, he quickly suppressed it. Just like Hermione said, Dumbledore simply There was no need to conceal the whereabouts of the Horcruxes, he wanted to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes more than anyone else.

"But they must have known that Mrs. Gray is the daughter of Ravenclaw." Ron reminded, "That guy's brain is better than the three of us combined."

"Although your praise makes me very happy, I don't think you need to belittle yourself at all. Although the upper limit of people is different, the lower limit is actually not much different." Get up and down, and greet the three of Harry with a smile: "It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."

"You already knew that, didn't you?" Hui

Although Harry was still calm, Albert could tell that he couldn't wait to know about the crown.

"This is not a good place to talk, come with me!"

Albert greeted the three of them to enter the stone staircase and went directly to the principal's office.

"How did you do it." Ron still couldn't help asking, "I mean..."

"Of course I don't know what the password is." Albert explained: "However, this is not a big problem at all. As long as you use the confusion spell, you can easily get rid of the stone monster guarding the door."

"Can the Confusion Charm really do this?" Harry doubted.

"Don't forget that Barty Crouch Jr. used a clever confusion spell to fool the Goblet of Fire." Hermione reminded. sink

"But didn't we try to use the confusion spell on the stone monster just now, and it didn't have any effect at all."

It's not that Ron thinks that Albert is lying, but that he just tried it.

"Because your level is not enough, only the clever confusion spell can do this." Albert explained to the three of them: "The spell is actually not just as rigid as the spell you use, but also Like Hermione using the Patronus Charm to deliver messages."

"Extraordinary wizards are usually able to use more advanced magic, which I call advanced magic or advanced magic.

Albert waved his wand lightly, and a ball of light flew out from the tip of the wand, floating beside them.

"Although it is essentially the same as the Luminous Curse, its use is no longer limited to the wand." Albert introduced to the three, "You can think of it as an advanced application of the Luminous Charm."

"I've seen Dumbledore use this." Harry said suddenly, "Can it still emit a dazzling light to illuminate the surroundings at once?" Hui

"Yes, it can be used to blind the enemy's eyes at night."

"Here we are."

Albert made the ball of light floating in front of him disappear, stretched out his hand and twisted the handle of the door in front of him, and pushed the door directly into the principal's office.

"What did you bring us here for?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Harry, you should know that the portrait in the principal's office can talk and has its own consciousness." Albert stopped and said suddenly.

The three people following behind bumped into him.

"Of course I know." Hui

"Professor Dumbledore?"

Harry rubbed his head, looked up at the portrait of Dumbledore smiling towards him behind the desk, with his mouth slightly open, he finally knew why Albert brought them here.

"Nice to meet you, Harry." The portrait of Dumbledore looked at Harry kindly.

"Mr."

Harry looked at Dumbledore with a complicated expression, and talking about what he had gained at Hogwarts today, "I suspect that Ravenclaw's diadem is the last Horcrux we are looking for."

"It seems that you have found some clues." Dumbledore said with relief.

"I have verified with Professor Binns that Ms. Gray is indeed Ravenclaw's daughter. I suspect that she knows the whereabouts of the diadem, but she seems unwilling to disclose it to me." Hui

"If Ms. Gray knows the whereabouts of the crown, there is a high probability that the mysterious man will get the crown from her. After all, the mysterious man is very good at confusing others with rhetoric. It is not difficult for him to convince a ghost to reveal the news of the crown."

While speaking, Harry secretly glanced at Albert, "Also, I suspect that the mysterious man hid the crown in Hogwarts."

"Hagrid once told me that if you want to hide something, the safest places are Gringotts and Hogwarts."

Facing Dumbledore's portrait, Harry eloquently talked about his own analysis: "So, you put the Sorcerer's Stone in the Gringotts vault at the beginning, and then transferred it to Hogwarts, I think the mysterious person probably has a similar idea."

"You are very reasonable Harry, so where do you think Tom Riddle will hide the crown?" Dumbledore asked after listening to Harry's analysis, nodding his head in agreement.

"The Room of Requirement, the mysterious man probably hid the crown in that magical room on the eighth floor, which is very suitable for hiding things." Harry moved his eyes back and forth between Albert and the portrait, and his intuition told him that Albert Burt and Dumbledore already knew about this.

"On the day Tom Riddle came to Hogwarts to apply for a job and begged you to let him stay and teach, he probably dropped by and hid the diadem in the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor."

Noticing the confusion on Ron's face, Harry also specifically explained: "Tom Riddle knows a lot of Hogwarts castle secrets, and the Room of Requirement is undoubtedly such a secret place, if we hadn't told many people If you reveal the location there, not many students will know the secret of the Room of Requirement.”

"But we don't have any evidence to prove that the mysterious man won the crown of Ravenclaw." Ron pointed out the premises of Harry's analysis.

"Not everything needs evidence." Harry's biggest doubt now is why the two of them are willing not to tell him.

Or, Albert also discovered this matter recently, so he now guides himself to find Ravenclaw's diadem?

Harry thought that was the only way to make sense.

"Continue Harry, your time is limited." Albert reminded kindly.

"Limited time?" Dumbledore cast a puzzled look. sink

"Felix Elixir."

"Oh, I see."

"The Room of Requirement can completely be turned into a room for hiding things according to the request of the mysterious man." Harry also realized that his time was limited, and planned to sort out all his thoughts in one go, "Tom Riddle believes that few One can find it there, and find the diadem he hid. In fact, I doubt he's against someone finding Ravenclaw's diadem.”

"At that time, Tom Riddle probably hadn't prepared six Horcruxes, so he still wanted to fight for the job of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, because only then would he have the chance to stay at Hogwarts and take Gryffin He also got a lot of swords." Harry said softly, "Later, he turned his poisonous snake named Nagini into a Horcrux."

"Very good Harry!" Albert applauded gently: "Then why don't you tell me where Hufflepuff's gold cup will be hidden now?"

"Gringotts." Harry felt that Albert was implying something to him, but he went along with him, "I don't know if Tom Riddle has a Gringotts vault, but I think he In youth one might have envied the man who had the key to the Gringotts vault."

Speaking, he looked sideways at Albert. sink

"Don't look at me like that. I also have my own Gringotts vault. I bought it for Galleons. I remember it was five hundred Galleons." Albert shrugged and said, "However, I know you should be That's right, the mysterious man probably won't have the key to Gringotts. When he was young, he didn't have a lot of Galleons to store in Gringotts. When he becomes a famous dark wizard, he probably won't easily walk into Gringotts. A place like Lingge."

In fact, Albert was more certain than anyone else that Voldemort did not have a Gringotts vault, and he inherited most of Voldemort's inheritance.

"Maybe, it's true that Tom Riddle doesn't have a Gringotts vault, but I think he's likely to put the cup in the vaults of other Death Eaters, after all he has given the diary (Horcrux) to the Malfoys case for custody.”

Harry excitedly told everyone his conclusion and analysis: "However, since he never told Lucius Malfoy the truth about that diary, he probably wouldn't tell the Death Eaters the secret of the Horcruxes. , will only say that the gold cup is a precious thing, and it must be stored in his family's vault."

After speaking, Harry looked up at Dumbledore's portrait and asked, "Do you know which Death Eaters Tom Riddle trusted the most?"

"Great guess Harry."

Dumbledore looked at Harry with the relief of watching his own children grow up. sink

"Back then, Tom Riddle had many loyal supporters. If he insisted on being qualified... probably only the Malfoy family, the Lestrange family, the Yaxley family, and the Carlo family .”

"Mr. Anderson, who do you think it could be?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"This is actually not difficult. You only need to look up the "Pure-Blood List" compiled by Cantanclus Knott. Most of the so-called twenty-eight saints in it have become Death Eaters. And the most powerful and loyal of them is probably your target."

The Malfoy family already has a diary, so it can basically be ruled out first.

"Bellatrix is ​​the Lestrange family. Yaxley is able to help Tom Riddle control the Ministry of Magic, and obviously has a certain degree of trust." Harry voted for Albert Probing eyes: "Which one do you think it will be, how about divination?"

"Lestrange." Albert revealed the secret directly.

"I also think it's Lestrange, that crazy woman is very loyal to Tom Riddle." Harry agrees with Albert, he also thinks it should be the Lestrange family, after all, their whole family Both lived in Azkaban for many years. sink

"By the way, is their family rich?" Harry asked suddenly.

"The Lestrange family originated in France, and their branch in England is equally old and rich." Phineas looked at Harry Potter and his group, and it was really hard to imagine that this group of people just now Actually discussing going to Gringotts to rob other people's vaults.

"It's not easy. I haven't heard of a successful case of robbing Gringotts so far." Ron felt that it was an impossible task to sneak into Gringotts and get Hufflepuff's gold cup. .

"We have time to make a perfect plan, but before that, maybe we should go to the Room of Requirement to find the whereabouts of the diadem." Harry asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the Room of Requirement to find the diadem?"

"If you hope to find a place to hide things through the Room of Requirement, there will inevitably be a garbage dump, which is the place where discarded items from Hogwarts generations have been piled up." Albert reminded kindly, which can be regarded as an expression I do know these things, "It's not easy to find the crown or the gold cup from the garbage dump, and you can't hide in Hogwarts to find it. Once exposed, it will arouse the vigilance of the mysterious people."

"So, Ms. Gray really told the mysterious man the secret of the crown, but why didn't she want to tell us?" Hermione expressed doubts about this.

"Probably out of shame, she stole her mother's crown and hid it away."

"So what?"

Harry looked at Albert and brought the topic back. He felt that the other party had a solution.

"I have an unconventional solution." Albert did not disappoint everyone.

"What way?" Ron asked.

"Use Fiendflame, burn the garbage there into ashes, and the Fiendfire Curse can also destroy Horcruxes."

"That's too dangerous." Hermione said anxiously, "Many wizards who used Fiercefire in the past have been burned to death by their own Fiendfire."

"Compared to the crown, it is more troublesome to break into Gringotts~IndoMTL.com~ Albert changed the subject, "You only have one chance, once you break into Gringotts, the mysterious man will probably know What are you doing now. "Sink

"Not only do you need to persuade a goblin to help lead the way, but you also have to go through the heavy defense facilities of Gringotts, find and destroy the Horcrux before the mysterious man can react."

"If you are willing to help, our success rate will definitely increase significantly." Hermione looked at Albert expectantly.

"I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Albert shook his head and refused. He was a little worried that his joining would make this matter a hellish difficulty.

"However, I will ask Dobby to help you when the time comes. If you succeed, Dobby can let you leave calmly."

"Okay." Harry remembered one more thing, "Professor, can I take the Gryffindor sword? I need a weapon that destroys Horcruxes, and use it to convince the goblins at Gringotts. "

"Are you going to use the sword of Gryffindor to convince the goblin?" Hui

Ron and Hermione's eyes widened in surprise, it was hard to believe that Harry was planning to use the Gryffindor sword to bribe the goblin.

"Very smart." Albert nodded and praised, "Gryffindor's sword belongs to Hogwarts, even goblins can't take it away."

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Phineas said eccentrically, "Snape took the sword away, and it's said that it was put into the Yaxley family's vault."

"The one that Snape took away is fake, the real Gryffindor sword is still hidden here." Dumbledore said gently: "It's just behind my portrait."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, moved closer to Dumbledore's portrait, and pulled it out, revealing the hole hidden in the back, where Gryffindor's sword lay quietly.
