Chapter 30: Gaunt's Old Mansion (continued)

In the center of the room, Holly stood in the air, a little distance from the ground, but did not disturb the dust on the ground. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At his feet, a small box that had been opened was thrown on the ground, and there was a square hole next to it. The incision is very clean.

Some don't know what to do. Holly didn't know exactly what the ring was doing, but while the ring gave her a sense of familiarity, it also gave her a sense of danger.

At least don't touch it with your hands for now, that's Holly's first reaction. As for keeping this thing here, Holly definitely disagreed, but how to remove the box, or the ring, while trying to restore the original situation as it was, was a problem that Holly needed to solve at the moment.

Just as Holly was thinking in the air, the soul in the ring also felt the existence of the surrounding creatures, and couldn't wait to escape from the ring to occupy the body of that creature.

Holly quickly sensed this temptation of the soul, and first moved his position out of thin air to distance himself from the ring, temporarily cutting off the connection between them.

After thinking about it for a while, Holly temporarily thought of a method that he had not tried but knew, and was ready to try it - Aphrotite once said that the spatial law of the Protoss has its own special space, but it is only in it, and it does not guarantee the survival of life.

And this ring seems to be a good experiment.

It is impossible to determine if there are any life forms attached to it, but it does appear to contain the form of a soul. You can think of it as life, but at the same time you can think of it as an object.

Clapping his hands, the ring disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

"What should I do with you?" said Holly, looking at the small boxes scattered on the ground, which had just almost been tricked.

Even if you are a wizard, when you encounter many things that you can do more easily with your hands, many times you will still unconsciously use your hands to deal with them directly.

This box is one such trap, which depicts a magic circle flowing with powerful magic, and it seems to be a very vicious curse. However, the core of the magic array is on the buckle that opens the box, and it is also the place where the curse is strongest.

Anyway, Holly was almost hit, but at the last moment when his finger was about to touch the buckle, the woman's sixth sense still overcame curiosity, and several detection spells made Holly almost fall out of the air.

At least, if you have just touched the box, I guess you should have been hit by now? I'm not sure what the curse is, but I'm sure the situation won't be too optimistic.

Thinking of this, a sly smile flowed from the corners of Holly's mouth.

A few minutes later, Holly's figure reappeared on the path outside the old mansion. Compared with before he came, Holly's face did not find a surprise like an easter egg, but became more serious.

The moment she saw the ring, Holly knew what the Easter egg Lily was talking about. Three treasures of the Peveril family - wands, reinvenants, and invisibility cloaks.

These three things are not a secret to Holly, but the invisibility cloak is in the hands of Harry Potter, the wand is in the hands of Dumbledore, and the ring is in the hands of the other Peveril family...... This is also the reason why Holly was able to recognize the ring in the first place, and was reluctant to keep the ring there.

As Holly slowly left the Gaunt mansion, a hearing was being held at the Ministry of Magic at the same time.

It is not for nothing that Holly chooses to come out early in the morning for activities. If you don't find something to do for yourself, you can't tell the old bee to find some excuse to get away with it later—yes, it's the day of the Harry Potter hearing.

Sure that Cornelius Fudge and Lucius Malfoy would definitely do something, but Holly did not remind everyone in the Order of the Phoenix that this kind of thing was earned when he realized it, and if he was caught, he could only consider himself unlucky-relying on others to remind him to avoid the catastrophe would only encourage these people to become dependent on others. Even if you are cheated, it can be said that you will suffer a loss, and there is no harm...... At least now Dumbledore can wipe the butts of those people, if ...... Holly is looking forward to Harry Potter without that umbrella.

Looking back at the Wizengamot, Holly didn't show up, just because she didn't pay attention to the situation here, at least Erinka was still sitting in the sidelines.

Of course, it was Cornelius Fudge who was in charge of the trial. However, based on the tacit understanding with Holly and Erinka, Fudge did not directly sit in the middle of the judgment seat...... If Fudge did that, maybe the Ministry of Magic would have a new round of shocks soon.

Harry Potter's defense lawyer, unsurprisingly, was Dumbledore. And Fudge, the purpose of temporarily changing the time and place of the trial is also to avoid Dumbledore, quickly cut the mess to Harry Porchi, and then execute it, as for the subsequent appeal process, it is up to the Ministry of Magic to have the final say.

However, Dumbledore seemed to have prevented this.

Hearing Dumbledore mention that he had arrived at the Ministry of Magic three hours early, Fudge's face was not good-looking, and in response, Erinka hid her mouth and laughed silently.

Playing tricks with Dumbledore, Fudge still looked too tender. Although Dumbledore did not infiltrate the Ministry of Magic on weekdays and did not have many superficial results, it does not mean that his penetration is very small, but most of the attempts were blocked by Holly and Erinka, or in other words, the part of the infiltration that Fudge faced, many times it seems that Holly and Erinka thought that Fudge could cope with it and deliberately let it go. If necessary, Fudge still needs to show his presence at the Ministry of Magic.

Perhaps it was this delusion that gave Fudge a strange kind of confidence, and he was ready to separate the Savior from Dumbledore's control at the instigation of Lucius Malfoy, and make him the spokesman of the Ministry of Magic under his own (Fudge's) control.

It can only be said that each party has its own calculations. Dumbledore wanted to calculate Siris Black, Lucius Malfoy wanted to calculate Fudge, Fudge wanted to calculate Dumbledore, and Holly was also making his own calculations.

It's just that Harry Potter was chosen by everyone at the same time, who made his special identity and special experience and was chosen by everyone at the same time to become the center of everyone's game.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. While enjoying the protection of everyone, you also need to silently bear the domination and calculation of others.
