Chapter 80: The Order of the Phoenix in Action
The Death Eaters began to assemble, and their master returned once again from the dark and empty Shijie.
As their old rival, the Order of the Phoenix was also sensitive to the anomaly, and then gathered.
At Dumbledore's call, the members of the Order of the Phoenix once again rallied at 12 Grimmauld Place, where another uphill battle awaited them.
"What does Lucius want to do, what the hell is he doing!"
In room 12 of Grimmauld Place, Arthur Weasley was so agitated that he walked back and forth, shouting loudly as he went.
"Calm down, Arthur."
The fireplace flickered with a burst of fire, and Dumbledore stepped out of the fireplace.
"Oh, Arbus. Do you know what they want to do? ”
Seeing Dumbledore coming, the members of the Order of the Phoenix felt a sense of relief, as long as Dumbledore was there, they would not fail.
"Yes, I got very bad news, the mystery man is back. He's gathering his men, trying to make a comeback once again. ”
Dumbledore slowly walked past everyone and sat down in the chair at the front, and the Order of the Phoenix meeting began.
"Oh my God, isn't this a joke, hasn't the mystery man been defeated? He died, as every one of us knows, and Harry Potter eliminated him. ”
Kingsley Shackle, one of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, seemed unacceptable that it was not a few years later that Voldemort would appear frequently, and even members of the Order of the Phoenix could not immediately accept the fact that Voldemort had returned.
Dumbledore frowned in displeasure, unhappy that his authority had been questioned.
However, Dumbledore also knew that he still had to borrow these people's liliang after all, the Order of the Phoenix was originally composed of some chaotic people, including wizards to squibs, Aurors, bar waiters, villains and other all kinds of people, as long as something went wrong could be endured as long as it didn't affect the big thing.
"I've been told that the mysterious man has appeared in Malfoy Manor, so don't leave anything to chance! He's back! ”
Dumbledore sternly warned these people, if it weren't for Voldemort's desperate suppression of them when he was powerful and didn't pay attention to the interests of these people, they would not have joined the Order of the Phoenix to serve the elder Dunta.
The Order of the Phoenix, like the Death Eaters, mostly reluctantly assisted their masters for their own benefit, and the threat of death, wanting them to have too much loyalty was a pipe dream.
"What should we do?"
It was useless to run away, and they didn't trust someone of Dumbledore's stature to fool them with something that would soon be exposed.
They weren't afraid of the Death Eaters, but they were different about Voldemort, and in their hearts, the only person who could fight Voldemort was Dumbledore.
The fact that they didn't even dare to call Voldemort by his name shows how much the wizard feared the Dark Lord.
"We only have one thing to do, and that is to stop him. Whatever his schemes are, we must stop him at all costs! This time, we're going to send him to hell completely. ”
Dumbledore's majestic eyes swept over the faces of the Order of the Phoenix members present, his time was short, it was impossible to shelter this shijie for long, and he had to take Tom, the evil demon king, away with him before he died.
"But we don't even know what he wants to do now?"
McGonagall was a little distressed, and despite Voldemort's evildoers, one had to admit that his talent was indeed very high, far higher than the average person.
"There's a place he's definitely going to go!"
"Where?"
"Azkaban!"
Dumbledore's voice fell, and everyone gasped.
That's right, he still has a lot of men who are locked up there, and those are the real diehards of the Death Eaters, the ones Voldemort would never abandon easily. Now that he has been resurrected, it is only natural that he will rescue these most faithful men and continue to serve him.
It's a Sunday at Hogwarts, there are no classes, students have a lot of time, some choose to go to Hogsmeade, some choose to go for a walk with their lover by the lake, and some hide in the library to read.
The rare holiday and happy atmosphere have washed away a lot of the terrifying shadows that have shrouded the school this year.
At this time, who would pay attention to a Slytherin student walking through the corridor on the fourth floor.
"God-given opportunity, it seems that that man has a lot of hands and feet, and he actually attracted Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall and other professors, which is a good opportunity for me to act at Hogwarts."
After wandering through the corridors on the fourth floor for a while, Sephiroth quickly walked back and forth three times opposite Silly Barnabas's tapestry, thinking that he needed a place to hide something, and pushed open the requirement room where the Ravenclaw crown was hidden.
It was a room full of clutter, with towering piles of broken furniture, thousands of books, no doubt banned, scribbled or stolen, and a dizzying array of miscellaneous items.
Standing here, it feels small, there's so much, too much here. Only the Ma Fanliang Library in the memory of Emperor Yuangen has room to fight here.
The mountains of debris give Sephiroth an indescribable sense of shock, and it is difficult to find an inconspicuous crown in this place.
The crown itself has strong anti-magic properties, and there is no need to expect a [Flying Spell] to solve the problem.
"The safest way to hide one thing is to hide a drop of water in the ocean."
Sephiroth looked closely at every nook and cranny, but after a full hour, he hadn't even had time to sort out a mountain of debris, and by the time he found the Ravenclaw crown, he was afraid that the winner would have already been decided outside.
Sephiroth sat down on the ground, not caring that the dust stained his neat robes.
"Perhaps, a [Flame Charm] is a good choice."
Sephiroth said self-deprecatingly as he leaned against the pile of debris.
But he was not reconciled, although most of the things here are garbage, there are also a lot of good things. In just one bell he had just rummaged through, he had already found three forbidden books that he had never seen before, as well as various magic props that could still be used.
It would be a pity if all of the [Fire Spells] were burned.
I have the heart to take everything here, but I have the power to do it. Hogwarts prohibits wizards' teleportation magic, and there's no way he's going to send everything here to the Astronomy of Truth headquarters and let them sort it out.
"Is there any magic that can help me?"
Manpower failed, and Sephiroth had to find a shortcut.
[Guiding Charm]?
No, no, the Ravenclaw crown can't be located.
In a flash of inspiration, Sephiroth slapped his thigh and stood up.
Come to think of it!
Yes, the crown was extremely resistant to magic and could not be located, but he remembered that Ravenclaw's crown was on a stone statue, which was not protected by any spells, and he could find the crown by locating the stone statue.
A stone statue of an old wizard......
The most likely is the Slytherin statue, the founders of the other three houses, the Gryffindor statue should not be abandoned, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are women, and their unavoidable nature makes them never let people carve their old age, this stone statue is most likely Salazar Slytherin's stone statue.
Considering that Voldemort was proud of being the heir of Slytherin, it would not be surprising that he wore a crown of wisdom on a stone statue of Slytherin.
"[Show me the way] to the location of the old wizard's stone statue."
The idea was correct, and the pointer that appeared after the spell was waved led Sephiroth all the way to Ravenclaw's crown.
It's covered in dust, and as you can imagine no one has been to this place for more than a decade.
The only relic of Ravenclaw himself, the Ravenclaw tiara, rests on the head of the stone statue in this way.
"Good, I found you."
Sephiroth pointed his wand at Voldemort's Horcrux, Ravenclaw's crown, but when it came to the end, he hesitated, this thing was not a Slytherin locket that only had a representative meaning, but a real legendary magic item, wouldn't it be a pity to destroy it like this?
In a moment of hesitation, Sephiroth lowered his wand again.
He wasn't worried about being hurt by Horcruxes, which actually didn't have the ability to harm people, and they could only trick others into paying for him. Even Voldemort's most powerful Horcrux, Tom Riddle's diary, does not have the ability to directly hurt people, let alone this one made behind it.
As long as you don't take the initiative to take him and accept the temptation inside, it is harmless. To some fandoms, the Ravenclaw crown can even cast spells and make sounds, which is a joke at all.
Even the notebook can only communicate through words, and showing his memories to Harry requires his consent, and the crown can't do anything with vigilance.
"Nothing to hesitate about! It's just a matter of doubling the speed of thinking. ”
Despite this, Sephiroth's voice was filled with regret that could not be concealed.
"Yugadim Leviosa! One more. ”
First, a [Levitation Charm] lifted the stone statue and crown into the air, and then Sephiroth did not hesitate to throw a [Fierce Fire Charm] over.
This is one of the few spells that Sephiroth has mastered that can damage Horcruxes, and the [Powerful Fire Spell] is actually very simple, and many people can cast it, but it is not easy to control.
But Sephiroth didn't need to be controlled, he just had to wait for the [Flame Curse] to burn the stone statue and crown and lose what they had to rely on and disappear.
That's the beauty of black magic, simple and powerful.
"Oh no! I curse you, damn it! ”
In the darkness of the flames, Sephiroth seemed to hear a terrible roar, full of resentment that could be heard in the voice.
The stone statue was burned to ashes, and the fire was much lessened, and it only wrapped around the crown.
The Ravenclaw crown is worthy of the relics of a generation of legendary wizards, and it lasted for a long time under the burning of the fire, but in the end it still lost and was completely burned to the ground.
Another Horcrux has been destroyed!
In this way, Voldemort will never have a chance to resurrect again.
At this point, Sephiroth and his "Astronomy of Truth" Society will be able to concentrate on dealing with Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix.
