Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 638

Although the current situation is very worrying, the Christmas holiday ended and all students returned on time without any accidents.

The brief separation made everyone feel very cordial after seeing each other.

In the common room, Neville, Colin and everyone talked about their interesting things during the holidays.

Soon, Ginny was on her way to find Dean, and Harry watched her eagerly until they left the common room.Later, amidst the laughter of the girls, Lavender rushed out from nowhere and threw himself into Ron's arms, and the two were entangled in a kind of upright wrestling.

Playing upright wrestling in front of the entire academy's students, this progress is still relatively slow? !

Ivan was by the side, and I heard Lavender talking excitedly about the Christmas gift she gave Ron...

The next morning, he saw Ron sneaking on the thick gold chain.

This is really saying one thing and doing another, duplicity!

Like Aiwen, he reports to Hermione and Elaine every night, but only the speed of blood donation in the past is really slow, okay!

In addition, the sixth grade students also got a surprise when the new semester started.

At noon the next day, a large notice was pinned to the notice board in the common room: Apparition Class.If you're 17 or over by 31 August, you can attend a twelve-week Apparition course taught by Ministry of Magic Apparition teachers.

Those who are willing to participate, please sign below, tuition fee: twelve galleons.

There was no need for Ivan to learn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron signed the notice without hesitation.

Apparition is a very practical magic. Due to its high risk, it needs to pass the examination of the Ministry of Magic before it can be used. Not all wizards can pass the examination and get permission. For example, Ron said that his brother Charlie failed the examination.

"Charlie is too big, this magic is difficult for him." Ron stretched his arms like a gorilla, "I hope it's best to do it once, Fred and George are both once, otherwise... ..."

He stopped as Lavender crept up behind him, put his hands over his eyes, and said, "Ron, guess who I am?"

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione glanced at each other, and hurriedly left the common room to attend the afternoon class.

The topic was still on Apparation, and Hermione looked a little worried because of Ron's words.

"Is this magic difficult?" she asked.

Hermione had witnessed the whole process of Ai Wen's study before, read a lot of books in this field, and was taken by Ai Wen to do it a few times, and that feeling was not very comfortable.

Because of this, she was a little worried.

Because all the books say that apparition is a very high and profound magic, and there is Charlie, who failed this real example...

"There is a certain degree of difficulty." Ai Wen said truthfully, "I think that if you concentrate and use it carefully, it is actually not too difficult. The difficulty is that it takes a lot of practice to manifest anytime, anywhere and as you like. I saw Deng In the battle between Bullido and Voldemort, the two of them used this magic superbly, which greatly improved their ability to dodge and duel. But don’t worry, I will help you practice.”

He still didn't say the second half of the sentence. The help for apparition is mainly that if the body is separated during the appearance, the assistant can quickly deal with it, find the missing part of the body and restore it.These words are a bit too bloody, and it is easy to dispel enthusiasm. It is better not to say it for the time being...

"By the way, when can we take the exam?" Harry asked, a little excited.

"As soon as I turn seventeen," said Hermione, "so I can take the exam now, but I'll definitely have to study for a while."

"Oh, so how do we learn? There's no way to Apparate inside the castle..."

"Dumbledore will lift the restrictions in some areas by then," Ivan said.

At this time, Ron came up panting, his ears were red, and he seemed unhappy.

"She wanted me to keep that thing out," Ron explained. "Absolutely insane."

"What are you talking about?" Hermione asked.

"It's nothing." Ron remembered that Hermione didn't know about the Christmas gift Lavender gave him, and hurriedly changed the subject, "Let's talk about apparition, haven't we been manifested by Ivan with his followers before, that kind of It's really uncomfortable, isn't it? I don't know if it'll make me feel better when I do it, I think..."

It was obvious that Harry, Hermione, and Ron were all interested in Apparating.

In fact, they weren't the only students who were excited to learn the magic.

All day long, people in the school were talking about this course, yearning to be able to disappear and reveal at will, which sounds cool.

"How exciting, if only..." Seamus said, he snapped his fingers to mean disappearing, "My cousin Figo deliberately used this trick to annoy me, let me tell you, when I learn it, he won't even think about it for a moment quiet."

He was immersed in longing, and he swung his wand a little too hard, turning the clear spring that was going to be turned into a water dragon that day in the charm class homework, and the water dragon shot to the ceiling with a powerful impact and bounced back, hitting On Professor Flitwick's face.

Professor Flitwick dried himself dry with a wand and chastised Seamus for copying the sentence: I'm a wizard, not a stick-wielding baboon.

Every sixth grader is talking about Apparition, and students from wizarding families go around showing off their experiences of being Apparated by their parents or wizarding relatives with entourage. Those who have not Apparated before are very interested and tireless Listen carefully to what it feels like to be manifested.

When they felt uncomfortable hearing about the Apparition, they all looked in awe rather than losing interest, and pressed on for more details.

The atmosphere now is like every year when the first grade learns to fly a broomstick for the first time.

At the time, broomsticks and flying lessons were a hot topic at the academy, and students from wizarding families would brag about flying on broomsticks, as if they had spent their entire childhood on broomsticks.Now, their childhood seems to be Apparating all the time...

Sure enough, in the next few days, apparition became the hottest topic in the school.

Almost everyone, sixth graders or not, was discussing it.

Among the people around Ivan, only Elaine was not interested in this.

Vampires also have magic like Apparition inside, and they will not be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, so don't worry about age.

Ivan had seen Keresis use it before, and Elaine would also use this magic.

That is to say, she can Apparate, but she said that she will not use this magic because she can't tell the direction...

Chapter 1414 Dumbledore's People

Time flies by in the Apparition talk.

Soon, it was time for Ivan and Harry to go to Dumbledore's class again.

This time, Dumbledore specially asked the two of them to come earlier, so the time was an hour and a half earlier than before.

At 06:30 in the evening, the two arrived at the principal's office on time.

The lights in Dumbledore's office were on, and when they walked in, portraits of previous headmasters were snoring softly in frames on the wall.

Ivan felt that every time he came, these guys were pretending to be asleep.

It is 06:30 in the evening, and the dinner in the auditorium downstairs is not over yet, shouldn't it be the most exciting time?How could it be possible to sleep.

At this moment, Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk, with a Pensieve and a steaming drink in front of him.

He smiled and watched them enter the office, looking good.But when he got close to Dumbledore, Ivan sniffed his nose hard. He smelled a smell of potion in the air. drank the potion...

what happened?Is it because of those weird spells on the right hand?

Could it be that the damage from those spells has reached the point where it needs to be suppressed by potions?

Before Ivan said anything, he heard Dumbledore say, "I heard that on Christmas Day, you met the Minister of Magic?"

"Yes, we've talked a lot, but it's almost useless." Ivan replied, looking at Dumbledore, but didn't see anything.

"I don't think he's too happy with the two of us," Harry added.

"Yeah, not satisfied!" Dumbledore sighed, "In fact, he is not very satisfied with me. But we try not to be depressed by pain, there are still many things waiting for us to do, continue to struggle, Aiwen , Harry."

Harry was amused by Dumbledore, who said, "He wants us to tell the wizarding world that the Ministry of Magic is doing a great job."

"I know." Dumbledore also laughed, "It was originally Fudge's idea. In the last days of his tenure, he tried desperately to keep his position. He came to me and wanted to see you, haha Lee, I hope you can support him..."

"What, after all that Fudge did last year?" Harry asked angrily. "After Umbridge?"

"Well, so I told Fudge it was impossible, but the idea didn't die after he left office. We met a few hours after Scrimgeour was appointed, and he asked me to arrange an interview with you, mainly because of that prophecy, which he I probably think this is the way to defeat Voldemort." Dumbledore said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, Ivan, after the things you did in Egypt last summer were reported by the media, he wanted to meet you again. He thinks you can help him."

"He hopes that we can come forward to help him, so that everyone can leave a good impression on the Ministry of Magic." Ivan said.

"Yeah, that's his plan, and he thinks it's your duty to help the Ministry keep things in order. But it doesn't really work, in my opinion. So, I turned him down, and we used to happen for that quarreled," said Dumbledore, "but Rufus managed to stop you at last."

"I think Mr. Minister is not ready for a war, he is just thinking about his position." Aiwen continued, "He also said that he would award me a first-class Medal of the Order of Merlin in recognition of I made a contribution in Egypt, but we turned him down in the end, and I don't think it's possible now."

"That's not necessarily the case, Ivan, I know Rufus very well, and he is relatively fair." Dumbledore said, "But as we have seen, the positions are different, and the considerations and starting points are also different. Rufus is An experienced Auror, but the first thing he needs to consider now is how to secure the position of Minister of Magic, and secondly, the upcoming war."

"Is there really going to be a war?" Harry asked suddenly.

"I hope that Voldemort can be defeated in a more peaceful way, but at present, the possibility of this seems very low." Dumbledore replied, "In fact, the war has already begun, and Rufus and the Ministry of Magic just don't know what to do." Willing to believe."

Officially, the situation is tense, but the Ministry is still in control, so don't panic.

But in invisible places, Voldemort's strength and the size of his army are rapidly expanding.

There was a brief silence in the office, and Ivan noticed that Phineas was secretly looking at them while snoring.

Seemingly noticing that Aiwen saw him, he immediately closed his eyes, and the snoring became louder.

"Professor!" said Harry, after a moment's hesitation. "After we said no, Scrimgeour said at the end that we both looked a lot like you. He said we were 'Dumbledore through and through'."

"Oh, then he's rude, that's an unwarranted accusation."

"But I said, I am," said Harry sincerely. "I told him that I am Dumbledore's man."

It could be seen that Harry didn't want to show loyalty, but really thought so, really wanted to say so.

At that time, he answered very directly, he told Scrimgeour that he was Dumbledore's man.

Ai Wen avoided this question and did not directly express his position.

Behind the desk, Dumbledore opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again as Fawkes the Phoenix let out a soft, melodious whimper.

Harry's words made Dumbledore's bright blue eyes a little moist, if Ivan read correctly, it should be like this.

Harry noticed this too, looking down at his knees in great embarrassment.

But when Dumbledore spoke again, his voice was still quite calm.

"I'm very touched, Harry," he said, "and you, Ivan, thank you."

"It's nothing, Professor, we just made the right choice." Ivan noticed that Harry hadn't raised his head, so he said, "I suggested that he talk to you frankly, but he was rejected, I don't think the Ministry is ready for a war. Well, besides trying to win us over, he wants to know what you've been doing lately? Where have you been when you're not at Hogwarts?"

In fact, Ivan is also very curious about what Dumbledore is doing recently!

Looking for the remaining Horcruxes?Voldemort's memory?A clue left by Slytherin?Or something related to evil gods?

"Yeah, yeah, he's very curious about that. I know, it's curious." Dumbledore's voice brightened. "It's funny that he even tried to follow me. He sent Dawlish after me, It's not good, I've been compelled to cast the Charm on Dawlish, and again with great regret."

"So they don't know where you've been yet?"

"Yeah, they don't know." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I can't tell you two now, there are still some things that haven't been clarified, and I don't want you to be distracted by this. Now, our most important thing To go on with the lessons. Well, and about the home of the house-elves . . . "

Chapter 1415 Riddle's Story

"Professor, have you found the location of the house elf's home?" Ivan asked.

During this past Christmas holiday, he had gone through so many materials and couldn't figure it out, but Dumbledore had much more information than him, so he would definitely find a way.

Since he took the initiative to mention it, there must be a clue.

So where exactly is the home of the house-elves?

"There is some information. Coincidentally, because of the course, I recently reorganized my memory and found some very interesting information in it, which I had overlooked before." Dumbledore said, "I think this information will Help us find where the house-elves used to be."

Ivan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Dumbledore to mention lessons and memories.

His lessons and memories are all related to Voldemort's past experiences. Could it be that there is information about the home of the house-elves hidden in it?

"Ewen, the process of your search for the secret treasure key left by the four founders of Hogwarts inspired me a little, so I went through my memories carefully and found some The situation." Dumbledore continued, "You will understand after reading that memory, but before that, we still have three important memories to look at, which is why I asked you to come early tonight. Oh yes, one of the three reminiscences, which you have already seen, is from Tom Riddle's uncle, Morfin, about him and Riddle; What happened the night before the ring was found. These memories are very important, and I think Harry should have a look at it again, it will be very helpful for him to understand Voldemort."

Knowing about Voldemort, Ivan felt that it might be better to let the 15-year-old Riddle come out to speak out.

In the next second, following Dumbledore's movements, Ivan's eyes fell on his right hand full of spells.

And the black ring that seemed to be the center of these dark green magic spells.

"In short, the four memories we will watch tonight are all related to Tom Riddle. The last paragraph will bring us unexpected surprises, but we need to pursue Tom Riddle's story in chronological order." Dumbledore Said loudly, "Last time, we said that he was about to cross the threshold of Hogwarts. You probably remember how excited he was when he heard that he was a wizard, and how he refused to let me accompany him to Diagon Alley, I also warned him not to continue stealing after entering the school."

"Then, as the new school year began, Tom Riddle arrived at the school, a quiet boy in a second-hand robe, who lined up with the other freshmen for the sorting ceremony. The Sorting Hat almost touched his head, and he was sorted into Sorting. Lytrin College." Dumbledore continued, waving his spell-covered right hand backwards, pointing to the old and antiquated Sorting Hat that was motionless on the shelf above his head, "I don't know what Riddler is. Learned that the famous founder of the Academy spoke Parseltongue, well, maybe on sorting night, if I had to guess. The news must have excited him and increased his ego."

"Perhaps he frightened or made his Slytherin classmates admire him with his Parseltongue in the common room, a gift that was especially revered in Slytherin House, but none of that reached the faculty There. There was nothing haughty or aggressive about him in his appearance, and being an orphan of exceptional aptitude and very handsome, he naturally attracted the attention and sympathy of the faculty members almost as soon as he arrived at school. He seemed polite, quiet, demeanor Humble, hungry for knowledge, almost everyone has a good impression of him, even some teachers who have always disliked Slytherin House, also like him very much."

"And you didn't tell them what he looked like when you saw him in the orphanage?"

"No." Dumbledore said, "Although he has never expressed remorse, maybe he has blamed himself for his previous behavior and is determined to start a new life. I chose to give him this opportunity."

Dumbledore is very tolerant of other people's mistakes, of course, the premise is that he is willing to believe you.

In other words, Tom Riddle at the time temporarily gained Dumbledore's trust.

It may be because of his age that Dumbledore believed him. Riddle was only 11 years old at the time.

How bad can an 11-year-old boy be? !

I'm afraid no one would have thought that one day, he would become the Dark Lord...

"When he came to Hogwarts..." Dumbledore stopped and looked at Harry questioningly.
