Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Page 455

"It's the same for everyone!" Harry sighed, "You have to perform well, the Gryffindor team can only rely on you, we..."

Just then, he stopped suddenly, wide-eyed to see Sirius's shaggy black head emerging from the flames.

"Hello!" He said with a smile, as if he had sensed something, "Isn't it time for me to come? The atmosphere seems a little bit wrong?"

"Hello, Sirius!" said several people almost simultaneously, kneeling on the hearth rug.

Crookshanks came running from the side, meowing and leaning closer to the fire, regardless of the heat, trying to kiss Sirius on the face.

Hermione hastily pulled Crookshanks back before he scorched his beard.

"How's it going? What's going on?" he asked softly.

"Not good!" said Harry, recounting what had happened today, arguing with Ron again about whose fault it was.

"Oh, it's really bad!" said Sirius. "That woman is really annoying, isn't she? How is your Defense Against the Dark Arts team doing?"

"It's okay, we named the defense team DA, which is Dumbledore's Army!"

"It's a good name, but the situation is getting more and more complicated, so you should hurry up and learn a few more magic spells."

"What do you mean by that?" Ivan asked, "Did something happen in Norway?"

He still remembered not long ago, on the day of DA's first event, Harry's scar hurt, and Harry even felt Voldemort's anger at that time.

Chapter 1003

"You shouldn't know these things." Sirius said, "However, judging by the appearance of the four of you, if I don't say anything, you won't agree. Instead, you'll just think wildly here. So, I'll just say one thing, We had another fight with Death Eaters and vampires here before, and destroyed the magical altars they used to sacrifice. Dumbledore said that it was used to collect flesh and blood, and the ancient ones arranged by the fallen horsemen in the Albanian forest. The altar is exactly the same."

"You mean?" Ai Wen had a bad premonition in his heart, and the bad news that had been guessed for a long time was finally confirmed.

"That's right, it's almost certain that the things guarded by the vampires are related to the so-called evil gods. We have checked a lot of information. In history, the names of evil gods are evil existences from the endless void. The ancient warlocks called them old domination Those who are different from the gods are composed of unknown substances far beyond the mortal world."

Titans, old rulers, gods, this world seems to be far more complicated and chaotic than imagined.

"From the information we have so far, Voldemort is planning to use the statue of the evil god in his hand to do something!" Sirius continued, "And this matter is also related to vampires, remember what I said before? Now it is finally clear Well, Salazar Slytherin seems to have left something related to the evil god, um, how to put it, Voldemort probably thinks that something from his ancestors is very helpful to him."

"What it is?"

"I don't know, we're investigating. The good news is that the vampires are also becoming unstable." Sirius said, "We were able to find and destroy the altar this time because it was a reminder from the vampires, but we can't be sure who it is yet."

Ivan stared at Sirius, paying attention to the expression on his face, could the person who tipped off the news be Elaine?

Or, was it her uncle Keresis?

They didn't believe in Voldemort themselves, but had to cooperate with him because of their own family affairs.

"What is Voldemort planning to do?" Ivan asked while thinking, "Is it to summon the evil god?"

"Probably not, but what he is doing now will undoubtedly restore some power to the evil god corresponding to the statue." Sirius sighed, "This will undoubtedly make things very bad, and it is very dangerous. According to the information I found, if the so-called evil god's terrifying creature really came, it would not be something wizards can deal with now. Don't get excited, Harry, you guys can't help you with this matter, and don't get involved. What's more, where you..."

"What's wrong with us here?" Harry asked hastily.

"Nothing!" Sirius seemed to know that he was talking too much, and he didn't continue talking, but said seriously, "In short, you should know that Voldemort's main goal is still in the country, and the Norwegian matter is not the point, so don't worry about it. It doesn't matter, your main task now is to learn more magic. I came here tonight just to know about your progress. If you need anything, please let me know as soon as possible, and I will get it for you. I heard that the Ministry of Magic We have fully monitored the internal and external communication channels of Hogwarts, fortunately, they did not pay attention to this fireplace, we can..."

His voice was cut off, and his face suddenly became tense and frightened.

He turned his head and seemed to be looking into the brick wall of the fireplace.

"Sirius?" Harry said worriedly.

But he had disappeared. Harry stared at the flames for a moment, then turned to look at Ivan, Ron and Hermione.

"There's something wrong with the situation!" Aiwen said, stood up hurriedly, and pulled Hermione up as well.

"how……"

The next second, Hermione suddenly screamed and stared into the fire.

A hand appeared out of the fire, groping as if trying to grasp something, a stubby-fingered hand covered with ugly old-fashioned rings.

The four turned around and ran. At the door of the dormitory, they looked back, and Umbridge's hand was still scratching in the flames.

As if she knew Sirius' head was there just now and was determined to grab it.

Early the next morning, several people still had lingering fears.

"Sirius is right, the communication channels inside and outside Hogwarts are completely monitored!" Hermione analyzed, "First Hedwig was almost caught, and now it's Sirius here again, we can't just contact outsiders !"

"It should be fine to use Dobby to pass information, he will help us keep the secret." Ivan said.

"House elves are not owls, we should treat them better." Hermione said dissatisfied.

From the way she looked, she seemed to want Aiwen to pay Dobby extra, because Aiwen always made him run around.

All in all, this certainly adds to the list of bad news.

Whether it is the Hogwarts communication network being monitored by the Ministry of Magic, or what Sirius said about the evil god and Voldemort.

The four of them got together and discussed it over and over again, but there was still not much progress.

Aiwen wanted to find books related to evil gods and the old rulers, but he couldn't find any after searching the entire library.

This can only show that this information is indeed top secret.He only had the "Book of Abraham" related to this, but Aiwen couldn't see what the second and third chapters above said. The first chapter had deciphered most of it, all of which were related to alchemy.

Corresponding to the information obtained from "Jade Records", Aiwen's alchemy level has increased by leaps and bounds.

This knowledge seems to have something to do with the ancient magic he found in the silent temple in the swamp.

But the information is not enough, Ivan still needs time to study, a lot, a lot of time.

He thinks he should speed up and get a time-turner back!

Other than that, the only thing that can be counted as good news recently is that Malfoy was seriously injured, he lay in the hospital hospital for a long time, and Umbridge left Hogwarts for St. Mungo's again. Treated at the Magic Injury Hospital.

It was only on the Wednesday after the Quidditch match that she seemed to realize that she was seriously injured.

You know, everyone stepped on her hard at that time.

Her waist was not broken or fractured, and she was able to resist for so long, which only shows that her physical fitness is really good, not that a few people are too light to attack.

But Fred and George have been regretting it, and should have tried harder at the time.

After being reminded by Sirius, Harry became more focused on fighting training, and he had nowhere else to go!

The weather is getting colder, and the Gryffindor team's training is still going on, just like the DA gatherings are getting more and more frequent.

Angelina had Ginny as the new seeker, and the new batsmen were Demelza and Vinnie Frobisher.

Chapter 1004

No one knew what Angelina did, but she finally persuaded that little girl to give up the Charm Club temporarily and join Quidditch training. Maybe the other party felt that she should do something for Gryffindor at this time.

In this way, the Gryffindor team is all girls except for Ron, which is unprecedented in Hogwarts!

Fortunately in misfortune, the performance of the girls is not bad.

Although not as good as Harry, Fred and George, there is still hope of winning the game.

In Angelina's words, they are stronger than those logs.

And there is no need to worry about them rushing to find someone to fight, showing violent tendencies, and being suspended by Umbridge.

As the training progressed, Ron also recovered a bit, and he no longer blamed himself as much as before.

Harry was right, the Gryffindor team could only rely on him now, and as the only male in the team, he should perform better.

He couldn't make any more mistakes, even though he didn't even have much confidence in himself!

Two weeks after the Gryffindor-Slytherin match, the Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw match also begins!

Before the game, no one was optimistic about the Hufflepuff team. After all, they lost an excellent captain and their morale plummeted. However, the Ravenclaw team was all old players who had been training for so many years. There was no reason to lose to Hufflepuff.

But the final result was really surprising. It turned out that Hufflepuff won the game by a large margin.

Hufflepuff put on a defensive counterattack that could be loaded into the textbook, playing very cooperatively and with a good sense of teamwork.

From the very beginning when they were struggling with each other, even falling behind, all the way to overtaking at the back.

It might have been luck that their Seekers caught the Snitch again in front of Cho, but they certainly won beautifully.

When Qiu fell from the broom, she cried very sadly.

After the DA event that night, Harry was left alone with her.

I don't know if the two of them have made any progress because of this incident.

Likewise, Ginny was busy comforting Michael.

The morale of Ravenclaw was low, but the two sides did not fight.

Correspondingly, Hufflepuff seemed to be having a festival. After the event that night, they even invited Ivan to a carnival party in the Hufflepuff common room to celebrate their unexpected victory .

Unexpected indeed, as the best performance of the Hufflepuff team was actually Arecia Est.

She is a very shy little girl, a first-year freshman this year.

Before coming to Hogwarts, I had never touched Quidditch.

She also joined Dumbledore's Army, but every time she talked to Ivan, she blushed easily.

That feeling was exactly the same as when Ginny saw Harry a few years ago.

It was such a rookie who drove the rhythm of the entire game. She was the suitor of the Hufflepuff team, and almost 120% of the points were scored by her alone, reaching a terrifying [-] points.

It's not that the Ravenclaw team is too bad. Although they underestimated them a little at the beginning, they paid full attention to it later, showed all their strength, and quickly designed tactics, but Arecia's flying sense and pitching skills are too good. All right!

Her broom is an old-fashioned sweep 10, a style from three years ago, and her speed is very slow, but she has a quick reaction and is very good at cooperating with the players. The ball is scored.

Ivan had noticed before when she tried to fly the Star Reacher that this guy was very talented in flying and Quidditch, just like Harry back then, his performance was amazing, and Professor Sprout specially approved it. She joins the team.

But now it seems that this talent is even better than Harry.

If things go on like this, like Kroom, Hogwarts may have a student of a world-class star.

Especially since this honor belongs to Hufflepuff, it is even more precious to them.

But this matter is not good news for Ron, an excellent suitor, his pressure is even greater!

Both are newcomers, but he is undoubtedly far behind Areishia.

No one asked him to perform beyond the level, as long as he showed normal strength.

At the same time, Hagrid's verification results came out, on the morning that Umbridge went to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

Even if this vicious woman went to receive treatment, she did not forget to inform Hagrid of the verification result.

Not surprisingly, it is reserved for observation.

They saw Hagrid in the Great Hall that morning, standing at the door to let a group of Ravenclaws pass, still as bruised as when he had just returned, and with a new wound on the bridge of his nose, taking care of Gropp. The work is really choking.

"Hello?" He wanted to laugh, but only grinned in pain.

"Are you all right, Hagrid?" Harry asked after him, plodding behind the Ravenclaw students.

"Very good, very good!" Hagrid pretended to be happy, and waved his hand, almost hitting the terrified Professor Victor, "Just busy, you know, those things. I heard about you , It’s a pity, I was there at the time, and I wanted to go down to help, but the students blocked my way. Well, and, I stayed to check.”

"Did you keep it for inspection?" Ron asked loudly, his eyes widened. Many students looked back curiously, and he hurriedly lowered his voice, "I'm sorry, I mean, did you keep it for inspection?"

"Yeah!" said Hagrid. "Honestly, that's expected, isn't it? We all know that survey didn't come out well, and I asked other people, and they said I should have acted more naturally. But... well, forget it, see you later!"

He lumbered away, out the front door, down the steps, and into the damp grounds.

Several people looked at him, wondering how much more bad news they could take.

The news of Hagrid staying on probation spread throughout the school in a few days, and not everyone was sad, some, especially the Slytherin students, mostly seemed happy, and their relationship with Gryffindor was also tense To the extreme.

In short, in such an atmosphere, the time has entered December in a blink of an eye.

December brought more snow and an avalanche of homework for fifth graders.

Because he was going to take the exam, Aiwen was also asked by Hermione to study with her, and even one night, neither of them returned to the dormitory.

It was indeed a crazy night, Ivan never thought that he would do such a thing with Hermione.

He never thought that he would love learning so much...

And as Christmas approached, Ron and Hermione's work as prefects became more and more onerous.

They were in charge of supervising the decoration of the castle, watching the first and second years indoors because of the cold and rain between classes, and patrolling the corridors in shifts with Argus Filch, who suspected that there might be fights during the festival. will increase.

Aiwen is very glad that the president of his boy student union was removed, otherwise these would be his jobs.
