Dumbledore didn't pursue Fred and George getting up in the middle of the night to hang out, and followed Albert into an alley in the middle of the rubbish heap. After passing the troll specimens, the two walked a short distance, stopping in front of a large cabinet with a blistered surface that looked like it had been splashed with strong acid.

"Last time, I hid Mr. Hertock Dagworth's gold card here. Albert opened the cabinet door and pointed to the cage inside, the creature in the cage was long dead, and it had five legs from the bones. "Later, I came to study this thing, and I thought that this creature should be the legendary five-legged monster. ”

"I've never seen a five-legged monster either, and almost no one knows where Delia Island is. Dumbledore also looked at the bones in the cage and shook his head, "However, your guess may be correct. ”

"Where's the crown in the picture?" Dumbledore asked again.

"There!" Albert gestured to the top of the crate next to him, where there was an ugly bust of an old wizard with an old gray hair cover and a rusty crown.

"It turned out to be here. Dumbledore reached for the tiara, but Albert reached out and grabbed him.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore looked at Albert in confusion.

"I think it's best to wear dragon skin gloves, I've heard that many dark magic items are deadly, and if they come into contact with the skin, they can have serious consequences. Albert took out the dragonskin glove from the pocket of his robe and handed it to Dumbledore: "It's not certain whether the crown is a dark magic item yet, but it should be just in case, otherwise it will be really bad luck to lose your life." ”

Looking at Albert's serious expression, Dumbledore couldn't help but be stunned, took the dragon skin glove and said with a smile, "I was negligent." ”

Although Dumbledore felt that Albert was too cautious, he was actually right, and many dark magic items were indeed dangerous.

When he put on the dragon skin gloves, he reached out and took the crown off the old wizard's bust, put it in front of him and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "You're right, this should be a black magic item, fortunately you didn't touch it, otherwise I don't know what terrible things would have happened." ”

"Is it dangerous?" Albert asked.

"Dangerous, evil dark magic items. The smile on Dumbledore's face had faded, and he narrowed his eyes and looked the crown up and down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon, Dumbledore's mood became cheerful again, and he took Albert out of the Room of Requirement, and he smiled and said to Albert, "You handled it correctly, Gryffindor plus fifty points." ”

"Well, sir, I'll leave it to you, I'll go first!" Albert said hello to Dumbledore and turned to leave.

"Very nice kid. Dumbledore muttered as he looked at Albert's departing back.

When he returned to the headmaster's office with the crown, the portraits that had been pretending to be asleep immediately gathered.

"Is this the crown in the photo?"

"It does look a bit like a Ravenclaw tiara. ”

"Can you be sure of its authenticity?"

"This ...... I'm not sure either. After all, the Ravenclaw crown has been missing for thousands of years. However, we have a simple way to tell the difference. Dumbledore instructed one of the headmasters, "Armando, please go find Miss Gray and ask her to come to the headmaster's office." ”

"Ms. Gray? ”

Armandor soon left, having his own portraits in the Ravenclaw common room, and used to ask students who didn't show up to class to help with the message.

"Dumbledore, are you looking for me?"

It didn't take long for Ms. Gray to arrive.

"There's something. Dumbledore pointed to the crown on the table and said, "I found it, can you tell me if this is the legendary Ravenclaw crown." ”

Lady Grey's face froze for a moment, and she floated to the table, stared at the crown for a few seconds, and muttered, "It's like, but it can't be, it's not going to be at Hogwarts." ”

"Where did you find it. Ms. Gray asked.

"Responsive to requests in the house. Dumbledore added, "It's the magical room on the eighth floor of the castle opposite the tapestry where the troll sticks the stupid Barnabas." ”

"Is this really a Ravenclaw crown?" Amandor was shocked, knowing that the Ravenclaw crown had been missing for thousands of years.

"No," muttered Miss Gray, "it should be in a hollow tree in the Albanian forest." ”

Now, as long as you are not stupid, you can guess Ms. Gray's identity from this sentence.

"Somebody brought it back to school. ”

In fact, Dumbledore had already guessed what it was, and even more so who had brought the Ravenclaw crown back to school.

"Lady Gray, I regret to inform you that this Ravenclaw relic has been defiled by evil black magic. ”

He ...... Very likable. He...... Very empathetic...... Be compassionate. Lady Gray was stunned, looked at Ravenclaw's crown in disbelief, and muttered, "How could he do such a thing." ”

"Tom is very good at deceiving people with rhetoric. Dumbledore whispered, "You're not the only ...... to be deceived by him"

"Is there a strong black magic on the crown?" Armando asked, "Can you restore it?"

"It's highly likely that Tom made the crown into a Horcrux. Dumbledore whispered, "It's a very evil form of dark magic, and ordinary magic can't even hurt it! ”

"Horcruxes!"

This time, all the principals of the past generations have fried the pot!

"Thankfully, Mr. Anderson was very vigilant and did the right thing when he found it, otherwise he would have been in big trouble!" Dumbledore raised his wand and tried to remove the dark magic from it, but his magic had little effect.

"Can't even you do it?"

"Destroying Horcruxes requires very powerful destruction, so powerful that the dark magic on the Horcruxes cannot resist them. Dumbledore shook his head and muttered.

"Use the dark arts, don't tell me you won't use them!" Phineas suddenly shouted, although Dumbledore had hardly used those dark arts, he believed that Dumbledore would definitely use them.

"The Fire Charm, or the Avada Death Charm, should be able to destroy it!" Dumbledore naturally had a way, and if there was a better option, he didn't want to use those methods very much.

"Use the Killing Curse, it's not for people anyway, don't tell me you won't use it!" Phineas couldn't help but pout, he really didn't like Dumbledore's hypocrisy.

"Shut up Phineas. An old witch waved her crutches at Phineas in a demonstrative manner, and if he said another nonsense, she would hit him on the head with the cane.

"Destroy it, don't leave this evil thing here, that will make us feel uncomfortable. ”

The other headmasters also said that the Horcruxes were too evil to be kept, and no one knew what would happen if they kept them.

"Alright, Avada Suo!"

The next moment, green light filled the entire principal's room.

After the green light dissipated, the crown seemed to vibrate violently, and then cracked on the table in front of everyone's eyes, and a bloody, black, sticky thing seeped out of the crown, and an extremely faint scream of pain came from the crown.

"How could this be, how could it be ......" Miss Gray was shocked, Ravenclaw's crown was ruined because the boy had used evil black magic to defile it.

"Looks like I need to give Mr. Anderson another special contribution award!" Dumbledore said lightly.

He raised his wand and waved it lightly at the broken crown on the table, the liquid was completely gone, he picked up the damaged crown and put it in a box, and said to the others seriously, "By the way, please don't make a noise about the Ravenclaw crown and the Horcrux, this matter needs to be kept secret, this is very important, very important." As for the tiara, I'll try to get someone to fix it, but I can't guarantee that it will be completely repaired. ”

"Mr. Anderson?" muttered Ms. Gray, "perhaps, I owe it to the boy that I have not been deceived any longer." ”

Ravenclaw's crown was ruined, and she regretted it very much, regretting that she shouldn't have trusted the boy in the first place.

......

At this moment, Albert, who was listening to the lecture, suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth happily, and on his task panel, three more tasks were completed, which was really a bumper harvest!

It seems that the Horcrux has been destroyed, and the headmaster is really resolute!
