Gringotts' most classified vault often shocks the entire British wizarding world and even the European wizarding world when an item is lost, such as the unsuccessful robbery of Voldemort and Quirrell when Ryan was in his first year. But even if they didn't succeed, all the newspapers and magazines in the wizarding world were reporting on it at the time. Later, the goblins spent a lot of money to keep this matter down, and at the same time, they also spent an even greater price to upgrade the security system.

So the day after returning from Gringotts, Ryan confirmed that no one had noticed that Dumbledore had taken him to Gringotts to retrieve the gold cup. Because the front page of the Daily Prophet is the latest security decree of the Ministry of Magic, requiring every wizard entering the Ministry of Magic, St. Mungo, and the departure station of the International Floo Network to undergo a security check. After flipping through the paper a few times, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, he could be sure that there wasn't a single news about Gringotts.

"What did you do yesterday with the Headmaster?" asked Hermione, sitting next to Ryan at this time, eating a jam bun as she passed the phoenix mark on her forearm.

"Go to Gringotts and get something, the headmaster thinks it might be one of the Horcruxes of the mysterious man. Ryan told Hermione the truth bluntly, and as someone qualified to know about Voldemort's Horcruxes, it was necessary to tell her about these things.

"These are the first Horcruxes we've destroyed? Even through the soul link, Ryan could hear the surprise in Hermione's tone. She had recently learned the importance of the integrity of the soul after studying the rules of death, so she couldn't believe that Voldemort, who claimed to be farther than everyone else on the path to eternal life, would make such a lowly mistake.

"As far as I know, the Gaunt family was completely ruined by the time the mystery man was born, so even if he was a Slytherin descendant, he didn't have much Slytherin inheritance, except for the half of the dangerous human transfiguration that he got from the Chamber of Secrets to make people lose their hair and nose. All of his knowledge was acquired from his time at Hogwarts from his classes and subsequent travels. In this case, it is normal for the knowledge he has acquired to be defective. ”

"Just like we who come from ordinary people don't know some of the common sense of the wizarding world. Hermione reacted immediately, "It's good that we don't know common sense, it's embarrassing at best, but if there is a small flaw in the process of improving our strength, it will definitely be fatal." Fortunately, the knowledge we have acquired is systematic, so there will be no such problems?? - Hey, what's wrong with my Hermes?"

Ryan looked overhead at this time, and a large creature that was more than a circle larger than the other owls flew over, and then dropped a small note in front of Ryan.

"Whose letter is this?" Ryan picked up the note and unfolded it, only to find that it was the headmaster's note again, asking Ryan when he would be able to clean the Horcrux from the Horcrux, and asked if he could let him observe it from the sidelines.

It seems that Headmaster Dumbledore is still a little suspicious of himself, Ryan thought, but this is also normal, as the saying goes, people are old spirits, ghosts are old spirits, and Dumbledore, who can live more than a hundred years, will definitely be cautious on this important issue. If he didn't bring it up at this time, Ryan would be upset.

In this case, Ryan also felt that there was no need to delay this matter, so he took out a quill and a small piece of parchment directly from his school bag and wrote on it: This afternoon. Ask Hermes to deliver the letter to Professor Dumbledore.

"I feel like it's thin. Watching Hermes fly away, Hermione whispered.

"No, it's just healthier after exercising more. You must know that it is a large owl that can fly international routes, and eating and sleeping in the owl shack all day long will only grow fat and harm its health. You see, now that it sends letters to our parents twice a month, doesn't it look much better than before?"

"That's what you're saying. Hermione nodded and went on with her breakfast. After class in the morning, Ryan received a note from the principal, agreeing that Ryan would go to the principal's office to find him after class this afternoon, and then attached the password of today's office at the end of the note: praline chocolate.

"Can't wait? Yes, after all, the elimination of Voldemort is the headmaster's primary goal now, and the headmaster will definitely put everything related to this at the forefront. Watching the note burn to ashes in his hand, Ryan thought.

After the afternoon class, Ryan showed up in Dumbledore's office on time. When the oak door opened, he saw the Headmaster sitting in the high-backed chair as usual, his eyes fixed on the Hufflepuff Gold Cup on the table.

"I'm sorry to call you here again today. Spotting Ryan's arrival, Dumbledore looked up and said in an apologetic tone. "You may think that I don't trust you so much, but please forgive me for worrying as an old man. Because it's so important—"

"Mr. Headmaster, you don't need to explain, I can understand. Ryan said that as someone who had experienced war, he knew that he could not be too careful with this kind of thing that involved many lives. And as the greatest White Wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, it's already a good job to be able to explain directly to his young students face-to-face.

At least Ryan felt that this was much higher than the treatment of Dumbledore's protégé, Harry, who had not been able to figure out the truth on his own until after the Headmaster's death.

"Ah, I want to thank you for your understanding. Dumbleury laughed. "Okay, where do you think it's better for us to start dealing with this gold cup?"

"I want it to be a place where no one is. Ryan said seriously. "Because it's not easy to get rid of that soul by my own ability, I'll use some external forces, but then there will be a lot of movement. ”

"I see. Dumbledore nodded. "If you're ready, let's go. ”

"It's really a good thing to have a phoenix as a pet, at least it's convenient to go out. After appearing on a cliff with a burst of fire, Ryan looked at Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes with some envy. However, he also knew that this Dumbledore Fawkes was purely due to his family heritage, and there was no second phoenix as a personal pet in the whole magic except for this one.

"What is this place?" asked Ryan, glancing at his surroundings, as he realized that the location he was in was actually an isolated island, surrounded by dark waters.

"It's a small island in the North Sea. Dumbledore explained. "The island did not appear on Muggle maps, and was used as a transit point for ships carrying supplies to Azkaban, but it was abandoned when the Floo network became widespread. I only found out about this place by accident, so I can guarantee that no one else will bother me. ”

"That's fine. Ryan got into action, building altars and drawing runes, as usual. After that, put enough consumables, such as a large pile of sunlight crystals, and a silver plate inlaid with gold runes. Another example is obsidian carved with runes. During this time, Dumbledore stood quietly on the sidelines until Ryan signaled that his preparations were over.

"Alchemy is always so complicated, but every time you look at it, you can feel the extraordinary beauty. Dumbledore said, "By the way, is there anything I need to do now?"

"All you need is for you to give me that golden cup. Ryan said, "I'll use the alchemy circle to separate the soul from this magic item in a moment, and then use the thunder to completely destroy the soul." ”

"Sounds very good. Dumbledore nodded, took the gold cup out of a box and handed it to Ryan, drawing his Elder Wand. "Then I'll be here to keep an eye on your surroundings, and you can rest assured, I promise that no one will disturb your magic ritual. ”
