Every time they came to Mephisto Mansion, Harry and Ron would always have a strong sense of shock, and they were ordinary children who couldn't imagine why a wizard lived in such a big house.
It no longer looks like a house for wizards, but like a castle.
"There are a lot of prohibitions in this by my brother, so the Death Eaters or the mysterious people can't break in at all, even if the mysterious people come in person, these prohibitions are enough to make him work hard for a while, and when my brother receives the news and rushes over, the mysterious people will be exhausted."
"But why are there two Aurors on your doorstep?" Ron asked, pointing to the two Aurors outside the gate of Mephisto Lodge.
"This is a rule set by the Ministry of Magic, and the Minister's home needs to be protected by the Aurors, in order to avoid accidents or assassinations." Asinsha thought for a moment and then explained, "For example, the palace of the Prime Minister of England or the Queen of England must be equipped with strict guards, and the safety of every member of the team must be protected. ”
Harry and Ron's eyes lit up with adoration, perhaps not because of the high position of the Minister of Magic, but by the feeling of passive protection.
"So they're not going to keep us out, are they?" Ron whispered.
"What do you think? I've brought you all in, unless I'm not a member of the Mephisto family. Asinsha took Harry, Ron, and Hermione very directly from the outside of the gate of the farm, while the two Aurors ignored them.
Asinsha was very worried about whether it would be dangerous if she went to meet with Ellie directly, because they all knew that Voldemort's Horcruxes were very good at bewitching humanoids.
If Voldemort's Horcruxes had been in contact with Ellie for a long time, and had secretly controlled Ellie, then they would be in danger if they went directly to Ellie.
Ron and Harry even had their wands in their hands, and Ellie had been a professor at Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts the year before, although she had only taught for a year, but in that year, it also made Ron and Harry or all the students at Hogwarts know that Ellie Mephisto was a powerful witch.
"You took out your wand, are you going to cast a spell on my mother?" Asinsha glared at Harry and Ron.
"You'll have to let us protect ourselves, in case...... Of course, I'm talking about what if...... If Professor Ellie were to be secretly affected by the Horcrux and suddenly attack us, we would have to defend ourselves, and if it really came to that point, we could at least use a spell like fainting or removing your weapon to fight back, and it wouldn't cause her serious damage anyway. ”
Harry's words seemed to make sense, and even Asinsha pulled out her wand.
At the same time, she looked at Hermione and Harry and said, "By the way, petrify them all, I don't recommend you use this spell either." ”
And just as Asinsha and the others were whispering, Ellie's voice came from behind the door.
"I just wanted to add a little hot water to the teacup, but I didn't expect to hear such a hilarious news that my daughter and their accomplices were planning to frame me!"
Asinsha, Harry, and the others were shocked to see that they were actually outside the door of Ellie's room just now.
Every noon and afternoon, Ellie likes to drink tea here, and with what Asin Sha knows about her, she is in this place.
At this moment, the door opened, and Ellie was still reaching for the hot water bottle, and it seemed that she had heard everything she had whispered to her daughter and her companions outside the door.
"Hehe, this was obviously an accident." Asinsha hid her wand in her sleeve and pulled Ellie around in a circle.
"Honestly Mom, I find that you seem to be more attractive, do you usually add some accessories that I can't see?" Asinsha's eyes were fixed on Ellie's neck, and she wanted to see if there was a golden necklace or something hanging from Ellie's neck......
Maybe she'll hide the locket inside her clothes.
"Accessories? I don't usually like to wear rustic things, you have to remember that we are wizards and not Muggles, have you ever seen wizards who like to carry messy accessories? ”
"Of course, my mom was born beautiful." Asin looked at it carefully, and was slightly relieved when she was sure that Ellie didn't have the so-called Slytherin locket with her.
She decided to just get straight to the point.
"Do you know Mondongues?"
"That impressive but nasty guy who used to trade in some illegal magical artifacts." Ellie said that there was probably only one person in the entire wizarding world called Mundungus.
"Yes, it's him, but he doesn't trade illegal magic artifacts now, but a very formal trade in magic artifacts, for which Mondongues is quite grateful to you." Asinsha gave Ellie a proper reminder, hoping that she would remember, and gave Mongtons a certificate of permission to trade in magical artifacts.
Ellie tilted her head, "Of course, he came to the door in person, I'm just a good talker, I can't see others pitiful, after all, I have to survive in the magic world, there is no way, this is the law of crocodiles, so wizards have to survive, each way is different, but it is also worthy of respect." ”
Harry suddenly stood up at this time and said, "Mundungus is a thief, he is a thief, he even ran to the Black ancestral house to steal things. ”
"Really? Although I know that his character is not very good, it is really unexpected that he is so bad. Ellie expressed her disdain for Mundungus's approach.
"He even stole something from the Black family's ancestral home, and then gave it to you in the hope that you could say something to help him get a license to sell magical artifacts." Hermione followed.
Ellie looked at Hermione carefully, the kind of look that was not unfamiliar to Hermione.
When Ellie was a professor at Hogwarts in Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hermione was often treated with the same look at her daughter-in-law, but that kind of daughter-in-law was not Sherlock's spouse.
"I remember that he did give me something, and that he wanted a license to sell magical artifacts, and he said that he was miserable and destitute, as if it was impossible to survive in the wizarding world without that little book, and I just said it casually." Ellie sighed.
"I really didn't expect that the things I said casually would actually help him do it."
Asinsha said directly, "You are the wife of the Minister of Magic, why don't you want to think about how much power you have to speak." ”
At this moment, Asinsha even thought that Ellie should be the first high-ranking person in the wizarding world, because according to Fu Mond's character, Ellie's words were always carried out.
"And what about what Montungus gave you?"
"You mean the not-so-pretty locket? Although the other party said that it was an antique, in my eyes, it was not up to the bottom line of being able to wear it on the body. Ellie said.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and they both wanted to tell a bad joke at this time, such as the mysterious man's Horcrux was so disgusted that he didn't even want to bring it with him, but Harry and Ron wouldn't say it.
The two of them weren't the personalities of George and Fred.
Ellie thought for a moment, "I remember putting it on ...... casually."
She then found the box in a small corner of the room, and inside the box was the Slytherin locket.
"I'm glad you didn't wear it, then I want to take it away, Mongtons stole this from Black's ancestral home, but in fact Harry has already taken the inheritance of the ancestral home from Sirius, so from that time on, this thing should belong to Harry." Asin Sha put the locket away.
And Ellie did not object.
"Then we're leaving, after all, there's something else to do, and mom we're doing great things." Asin Sha bids farewell to Ellie.
"Well, it looks like I've been alone in this big house for a long time, and even your dad hasn't been back from the Ministry of Magic lately."
"Because it's a tense time right now, and the wizarding world is about to become a powder keg."
"So I want you to stay at Hogwarts honestly, after all, your brother is there, but you should be attending classes at Hogwarts, right? It's not a weekend, how did you get out? ”
Ellie asked directly, Sherlock would not tell Ellie about the arrangement between Asinsha and Harry to find Voldemort's Horcruxes.
If she had told her about it, even Sherlock would have to face a tremendous amount of anger from her mother.
"Ahem...... Of course, we were looking for this item that was important to Harry, so we took a leave of absence from Hogwarts. "Asinsha lied to her.
"Leave? The four of you? Even from Gryffindor House, four Gryffindors asked for leave at the same time, and the professors at Hogwarts would actually grant leave? Ellie didn't believe it, she had also been a professor at Hogwarts, and if four Gryffindors asked for leave at the same time, then Ellie would never sign the leave request, which was really weird.
Asinsha defended, "We did it through my brother's approval. ”
"Well, I guess he's the only one who will approve your application." Ellie waved her hand weakly.
Ashinsha and the others quickly left the room, and they finally found a Horcrux made by Voldemort, which was a very important victory in their eyes.
Before they could leave Mephisto Farm, the air in front of them suddenly shook violently.
Sherlock then directly apparitioned in front of Harry and the others.
"I didn't expect the last Slytherin locket to be in Mephisto Manor." Sherlock said as he looked at Harry and the others excitedly.
"Brother, we've found one of the mysterious Horcruxes, but how do we destroy it?" Asinsha showed Sherlock the box in her hand.
Harry followed, "This thing was not destroyed for a long time after Kreacher brought it back, and Kreacher used many methods to give it up in the end. ”
Sherlock looked at them, "It's very difficult to destroy a Horcrux by normal means, after all, an item stuffed with a very evil soul fragment will make the item the most evil and dangerous dark magic item in the world, even the magic spells or methods you can think of will not have any effect on this thing, even if you throw it into the lava and wait for the lava to cool down naturally, and then find it intact." ”
Sherlock continued, "And if you want to destroy it, you have to withstand the bewitchment of Voldemort's soul, and often in the process of destruction, you will lose what you were determined to do at the beginning, and if you are bewitched, it will be a fall from the soul to the mind, and you will become Voldemort's lackey." ”
Sherlock holds the locket box, "And the Horcruxes are all inducted by Voldemort, once this Horcrux is destroyed, Voldemort will naturally sense it, he will be injured, very serious damage, and at the moment when his Horcrux is destroyed, Voldemort will directly fall into a state of madness, and when that time comes, in order to protect the remaining Horcruxes, he will be eager to start a war." ”
Asinsha said, "You mean, when we destroy this Slytherin locket, it means that the war with Voldemort has really begun, right?" ”
"That's right, he may come directly to me, or he may directly attack the Ministry of Magic, in short, the entire wizarding world will be in the war in an instant, and no wizard will be out of the way, but anyone who can hold a wand will be swept up, and Voldemort will definitely go crazy and want to kill those who are looking for his Horcruxes, looking for his weaknesses and trying to kill him."
"That means that when you destroy the Slytherin locket, you will also have to endure Voldemort's crazy pursuit."
Harry said, "But we're still going to have to destroy this thing, Voldemort is not undefeated, he's failed many times, this is just his last defeat, we're going to finish him out completely." ”
"That's a good point, the Gryffindors really have the courage, if you want to destroy the Horcruxes, then this thing will be the most suitable."
Sherlock had an extra dirty hat on his hand.
The hat cracked open and said to Harry, "It's been a long time, and the last time you took me was an ignorant child." ”
"Hello Sorting Hat!" Harry and the others greeted each other, but they couldn't figure out what Sherlock was doing when he took out the Sorting Hat.
"This hat has been falling out with Professor Snape lately, and with so many principals, it is estimated that only Professor Snape and the Sorting Hat are the most incompatible."
