Chapter 120: Voldemort unknowingly planted again
The truth about the betrayal of the Potters was revealed with the help of Beater Willow.
Blake's grievances were also resolved under the auspices of the Minister of Magic, Fu Qingtian, and the honor originally awarded to Peter Pettigrew was transferred to Blake, in addition to a sum of compensation.
Peter Pettigrew was finally brought back to Azkaban by the Dementors, and Zhang Xu, as his henchman, did not remove the Gu worms from him, and he would die in Azkaban a month later due to weakness. If you add food additives, it may be over in half a month.
Harry Potter was finally able to join his godfather, but unfortunately he couldn't move in with Black until he was seventeen.
When Harry asked if the broomstick was given by Black at Christmas, Black shook his head and said that although he would love to give Harry the best broomstick, he was being chased by someone at the time and couldn't give Harry a gift.
This made Zhang Xu on the side look confused, could it be that the flying broom was really sent by Si Aojiao?
Blake was in poor health and needed to be treated by Madam Pomfrey in the school infirmary, so the crowd and onlookers dispersed after Peter Pettigrew was taken away. What happened tonight was enough for them to talk about it for a long time.
After returning to the castle, Zhang Xu did not return to the dormitory, but came to a door.
"Quicksand bag."
Zhang Xu read out the password to open the door.
It is a professor's dormitory, and the door is a living room, and behind the two doors is a study and a living room with an en-suite bathroom.
There are many rooms in Hogwarts Castle with good conditions, and the dormitories allocated to professors are very comfortable.
Zhang Xu was also assigned a dormitory, but he rarely lived there, and that dormitory was basically used by him as a laboratory, and he usually preferred to live in the student dormitory of Eagle Academy.
Seeing that there was no one in the living room and study, Zhang Xu gently pushed open the door of the living room.
Tonight is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar (the last Saturday of March 1994, the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and Easter will be shortly there), and the bright moonlight shines through the balcony door into the living room.
On the balcony was a small round table with a bottle of red wine and an empty wine glass. On either side of the round table were two chairs facing out onto the balcony, and Scarlett, dressed in a white dressing gown, sat on one of the chairs with a glass of red wine.
Zhang Xu sat down in a chair, and Scarlet poured red wine into his cup.
After clinking glasses, the two took a sip of red wine and fell silent.
After Scarlett learned that Zhang Xu was going to her dormitory tonight to find her, she thought that she would tease him as before. But when Zhang Xu sat in front of her, she suddenly found that she was not interested. Thinking back to her temper in recent days, it seems that she is much more irritable than before, and she feels that Zhang Xu's matter of finding her tonight will not seem to be so simple.
Zhang Xu didn't speak, just took off his watch and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Scarlet.
Scarlet saw that Zhang Xu's watch no longer displayed the time, but a red arrow appeared, pointing to his chest.
Scarlet took Zhang Xu's watch and changed several positions, and found that the red arrow on the watch kept pointing at his chest.
Scarlet cast an inquiring look at Zhang Xu, she didn't believe that Zhang Xu would come to her with a (⊙⊙) detector at night.
"This is a Horcrux probe." Zhang Xu said to Scarlett.
After Tonya sent the Horcrux detector to Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu didn't use it again except for using it once, and usually put it away. Today, because I need to see the time to hold a banquet in the screaming shack, Zhang Xu used it as a watch.
As a result, when Scarlet appeared tonight, the Horcrux detector in Zhang Xu's hand reacted.
That's why Zhang Xu came to Scarlet's dormitory tonight.
Listening to Zhang Xu's words, Scarlett's face changed, and he immediately pulled open the collar of his nightgown and pulled out a necklace from his chest, on which hung a ring inlaid with black gemstones.
Marvolo Gaunt's ring, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, also bears Scarlett's body scent after bathing.
After Zhang Xu checked the ring, he finally determined that this was Voldemort's Horcrux.
As for why it appeared on Scalett's chest, Scalett's explanation is simple, as a Slytherin descendant, there are no heirlooms left behind by Slytherin in the family, so Scarlett went to Gaunt's old house to try her luck after returning from China during the Christmas holiday, and she found this ring protected by Voldemort's powerful magic in the ruins of Gaunt's old house.
After discovering this precious ring, Scarlet wore a necklace and carried it close to him.
After listening to Scarlett's story, Zhang Xu couldn't help but feel that his head was big.
Because the ring was not only Voldemort's Horcrux, but also cursed by Voldemort, Dumbledore mutilated his right hand.
Moreover, wearing a Horcrux for a long time, people's thinking will also be affected by the Horcrux, and in the end, like using the Horcrux notebook, the soul is devoured by the soul fragments in the Horcrux.
When Zhang Xu first got the Ravenclaw crown, he still relied on the armor on his body, and the painting style of his soul was different from the soul of this world, so he dared to put it in the treasure bag.
After Zhang Xu told Scarlett about the Horcruxes, she broke out in a cold sweat and drank a glass of red wine to suppress her shock.
After Zhang Xu said that he had a way to dispose of the soul fragments in the ring, Scarlet breathed a sigh of relief.
Then there was silence, and for a moment both of them were drinking alone, each thinking about the Horcruxes, and they were not interested in talking.
After Zhang Xu drank the red wine in the glass, he planned to say goodbye and leave.
"Not long after I got this ring, I kept having the same dream." Scarlet said suddenly.
Zhang Xu was stunned after hearing this, and he didn't know why Scarlet, who didn't have much to say all night, suddenly entered the I have a story and a wine mode, so he poured himself a glass of red wine.
Since you have dumplings and vinegar, let's eat them together.
"I dreamed that I had two daughters, the eldest daughter was Remilia and the second daughter was Flandoro." Scarlet said, looking at the full moon in the sky.
Zhang Xu on the side was glad that he didn't drink, otherwise he would definitely squirt out a mouthful of wine at this time.
Ignoring the stunned Zhang Xu, Scarlet continued: "Maybe I also aspire to be a mother, I used to think about how good it would be if I had two daughters. When you asked me if I had any of these two people in my family, I subconsciously thought that if I had daughters, they should be called like that. ”
"This is probably the fragment of Voldemort's soul in this ring that tempted me." Scarlet said with a wry smile and shook his head.
With that, Scarlet took a sip of the remaining half bottle of red wine.
Zhang Xu sat on a chair and slowly drank the red wine in his glass.
Perhaps this is the distress of being an empty nest older youth, he almost stepped into this ranks in his previous life, and he said goodbye to this ranks in this life.
For a while, he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Xu drank the wine in the glass, turned his head to look, and found that Scarlet had already fallen asleep in a chair full of alcohol.
Zhang Xu had no choice but to carry her into the room and put her on the bed, cover her with a quilt and leave.
As soon as he walked out of the door of Scarlett's dormitory, Zhang Xu saw that Blake and Lupin, who were supposed to be lying on the bed in the school infirmary, were casting a spell on the wall opposite the dormitory door with their magic wands.
With a "snap", Blake was stunned to see Zhang Xu, who came out of Scarlett's dormitory in the middle of the night, and the wand in his hand fell to the ground from somewhere.
Lupin looked at Blake helplessly and shook his head.
Zhang Xu didn't care about these two guys who died overnight, nodded and said hello before going back to the dormitory.
Sure enough, Zhang Xu, who didn't get up until noon the next day, heard that this morning, Lupin and Blake, two good brothers who were in trouble, were tied up together to beat people together.
