Chapter 55: The Bat That Crashes into the Enchantment

"Horcruxes are protected by black magic, and they are not easy for ordinary people to find, and they can be bewitched by Horcruxes if they are not careful. ”

Zhang Hao warned: "Voldemort can turn ordinary notebooks into Horcruxes, and naturally he can also turn other things into Horcruxes - including all kinds of valuables. If you come across something and can't make up your mind, be sure to tell someone who can discern it as soon as possible. Harry is supposed to have a sense when he encounters a Horcrux, so he can only be the main force to find the Horcrux. ”

"Alright!" Draco said unconvinced, "It's not for nothing to say that Potter is the savior, it's shit luck." ”

Harry said angrily, "If you're willing to be like me, we can swap them." Would you like to trade with me?"

Draco was speechless for a moment, and he remembered Harry's tragic experience.

The exchange of a happy life for an illusory title of savior is simply not worth it.

"Then where do we go to find Horcruxes?" Hermione saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Hao, do you have any guesses?"

Zhang Hao had been waiting for someone to ask for a long time, and the reason why he said so much was to eliminate Voldemort as soon as possible and end the turmoil in the wizarding world.

Speeding up the search for Horcruxes through guidance is what he says so much.

"I do have some guesses, but we can't take care of the outside of the school right now, so we can start with the inside of the school first. He smiled and said, "Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts, do you think he would have hidden some Horcrux in the school?"

"Needless to say, a monster like a basilisk can be hidden in a school, let alone a Horcrux?" Ron said excitedly, "We can go to the Room of Request and look for it!Hao, I remember you said that you often practice magic in the Room of Need." The Room of Requirement must be able to hide things, right?"

"It's possible that the Room of Request does contain Horcruxes, you can go and find them. Zhang Hao nodded and said, "However, this matter will have to wait until the next semester." ”

"Why?"

"Because you're going to prepare for the exam, you're not going to forget, are you?"

"How can you bring this up?

......

The little wizards' long-awaited exams are finally over, and they are given a week of free time – every semester, the last revelry before the results are announced.

So everyone is not going to think about anything else, just to have a good time for a few days.

At the final ceremony, Dumbledore added and subtracted as in previous years, calculating the scores for all houses.

In the end, under the influence of Zhang Hao, Slytherin won the House Cup again.

"Hao, are you going back to Dongsheng Ancient Country this year? I want to go to Dongsheng Ancient Country with you. Daphne said wistfully, "The ancient kingdom of Dongsheng must be fun, right?"

"I want to go too, I should have gone with you last year. Hermione said expectantly, "I've never been to the East, but I've read about it in a lot of books. It's a beautiful country, but I've never had a chance to visit it. ”

Harry stopped talking, and after a moment he said, "I want to go too, but I don't think Uncle Fernon will agree." ”

Ron patted Harry on the shoulder sympathetically and comforted, "It's okay, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to go to the ancient kingdom of Dongsheng." When you're an adult, you can go anywhere. ”

Zhang Hao laughed secretly, this kid didn't want to grow up last year. It seems that he has had enough of being controlled and has become eager to grow.

"Hao, why don't you speak?" Daphne asked eagerly, "Don't you want to take us to the ancient kingdom of Dongsheng?"

"Of course not, it's just ......" Zhang Hao said regretfully: "I don't plan to go back to Dongsheng Guguo this year, because I want to open a pharmacy in Diagon Alley." ”

Everyone was surprised to hear the news, and the other children were thinking about where to have fun, and this guy was already thinking about opening a store to make money Galleons!

"Is it necessary for you to be in such a hurry?" Ron said incomprehensibly, "You're just a twelve-year-old!

"Well, it's never too early to start making money, it's never too late to start. Zhang Hao said helplessly: "Gringotts restricts me from exchanging Muggle currency for gold Galleons, and I have to find a way to earn more." It's so hard to live without money, really! Especially when you're used to spending lavishly, it's even harder to think about living a poor life. ”

"And where do you live?" Hermione asked with concern, "If you don't have a place to live, you can come to my house for a while." ”

"Hermione, thank you for your concern. Zhang Hao smiled: "But don't be so troublesome, I bought a castle in the Grande last year......"

"Wait!" Hermione's eyes widened, interrupting, "You said you bought a castle? Is it Corinthville Castle?"

Not only Hermione, but others also looked at Zhang Hao in surprise.

"Uh! yes...... What's wrong?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise, "Didn't I tell you? Colinsville Castle is my home in Grande. ”

"Oh, you really haven't said that, not once!" Hermione said excitedly, "When Collinsville Castle disappeared, almost the entire Muggle world was shocked. There are so many reports that I don't even think I know. At first, I was guessing which wizard did the bad thing, but you didn't expect it to be bought. ”

"Hehe! Soon after I bought the castle, I asked the house-elves to build an enchantment for the castle, so it disappeared from the Muggle world. Zhang Hao said comfortably: "I also connected the castle to the flying road network, whether it is to go to the Ministry of Magic or Diagon Alley, it is very convenient." ”

"So, the few times you went to my house, you came from the castle?" Ron said in shock, "You bastard, you've been hiding from me for almost a year. You didn't mention it at all, that's too much!"

"I'm sorry!" Zhang Hao said embarrassedly: "I thought I told you about this." ”

Everyone was speechless for a moment, this memory is really bad!

"You asked the house-elves to set up an enchantment for the castle?" Hermione said in surprise, "The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about this?"

"I gave a large investment to the Ministry of Magic, I should always enjoy some privileges, right?" Zhang Hao said casually: "I will save them a lot of trouble if I do it myself, it's too late for them to thank me!"

"I suddenly felt like we were living in two worlds. Harry said bitterly, "I envy you!"

"It's too early to envy me," Zhang Hao looked at Hermione and Daphne, and then at Ginny and Pansy in the distance, and said meaningfully, "You will envy me even more in the future." ”

Harry was ignorant, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Zhang Hao's words at all.

"Hao, can I go to your castle to play during the holidays?" Daphne looked at Zhang Hao with blank eyes, and said in a pleading tone: "My castle is almost tired of living, let me go to your place for a few days, okay?"

Another big rich!

The three Gryffindors were helpless, why were all Slytherins so rich?

"As long as your family agrees, you are welcome to come to my house at any time. Zhang Hao said with a smile: "I only have elves at home, you can be more popular when you come to the castle." ”

In fact, Lilith now lives in the castle most of the time, but he subconsciously hides it.

They talked a little more, and finally agreed to have a party together at Collinsville Castle on vacation.

And just like that, the semester finally came to an end.

Zhang Hao didn't take the Hogwarts train, he went to the cabin in the woods, and returned to the castle with Lilith with an apparition.

Castle in Collinsville is as cold and dark as ever.

The elves kept the castle in good order, and when Zhang Hao came back, they gathered together to welcome him.

"Master, you're back at last! We have news for you—your castle is inhabited by a ghoul. We're waiting for you to decide, do you want to get rid of it?"

Zhang Hao was a little surprised, he didn't expect this castle to have magical creatures stationed so soon.

"No, let it live first!" he said, waving his hand, "I don't know when I'll be able to use it." ”

Ghouls also have some valuable magic materials on them, which can cost a lot of gold to buy in Diagon Alley.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and asked again, "In addition to ghouls, are there any other magical creatures that have invaded the castle?"

"There are more flower essences in the flower garden, and they seem to think of the garden as their home. The little elf called the stone said, "Master, they are very talented in taking care of flowers, can you leave them behind? I'm not trying to be lazy, I'm just thinking about you. ”

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Don't be nervous, I'll take a look tomorrow." If they're as harmless as you say, I'll keep them. ”

The so-called flower essence is also known as the flower fairy in the folk.

They are as industrious as bees, and in flower-rich gardens, they can collect pollen and use magic to make it into magical nectar.

This magic nectar is both an expensive drink and a versatile magic ingredient that costs a lot of money to buy in Diagon Alley.

There is a group of flower fairies in the house, but there is no need to worry about not having magic nectar to enjoy.

The only trouble is that the flower fairy is notoriously stingy.

It's not easy to get magic nectar from them.

"Master, in addition to the flower fairies, there are some nasty goblins in the flower garden. The elf named Millet said angrily: "These fools always mess with flowers, it's really hateful!"

"But rest assured, we didn't let them succeed except for the first time. Another elf said, "The garden is well protected by us, and you have suffered no damage. ”

It can be seen that these house-elves are afraid of being punished.

They would rather punish themselves than let their masters feel a little resentful.

The last thing they want is for their master to be angry.

Zhang Hao learned about some changes in the castle, and then went back to the bedroom to rest. Although he didn't go through the bumps of the journey, he did get a little tired after a busy day.

As night fell, several large bats suddenly flew in the distance.

They are very large, much larger than the average bat, and their eyes are red and shiny.

They crashed into the castle's barrier and had to fall to the ground, before turning into human form.

At this time, Zhang Hao had sunk into an illusion.
