Chapter 11: The Ravenclaw Crown
Soon into November, the Quidditch season began. After a few weeks of training, Saturday was his first match, Ravenclaw vs. Slytherin. If Ravenclaw wins, they will move up to first place in the House Cup, so the whole house is looking forward to this game.
The news that Mo Wen served as a first-year freshman as a chaser also spread throughout the school, after all, for a celebrity like him, the act of running the training ground every day was too conspicuous, but the Ravenclaw team didn't plan to hide it at first, they weren't Gryffindor's brainless guys, a college team, as long as they trained together, who else could they hide.
Of course, for Mo Wen, the youngest chaser in a century, the outside world has mixed reviews, some think that he will have an excellent performance, help Ravenclaw win the championship in one fell swoop, most of the girls plus some of the boys hold this view, while others think that he will be taught a hard lesson by the Slytherins, and from then on expose the nature of his little white face, some boys who have never been able to find a girlfriend insist on this conclusion.
Mo Wen didn't care about it, he was busy dealing with another thing at this time.
In front of him a huge tapestry, an ugly-looking giant monster is beating a small person with a big stick, the scene seems a little cruel, but also a little funny, Mo Wen calmly walked three times on the opposite wall, thinking quietly in his mind, "I want to find a place to hide things, I want to find a place to hide things." ”
A glittering gate gradually emerged, and Mo Wen pushed the door and walked in, and in front of him was a place the size of a cathedral with the appearance of a city, its towering walls piled up by thousands of students who had long since died. The streets and alleys were lined with crumbling piles of broken furniture, perhaps crammed here to hide evidence of mistaken magic, or hidden by house-elves who maintained the castle's decency. There are thousands of books here, undoubtedly banned, scribbled, or stolen; There were winged slingshots and wolf-tooth saucers, several of which were still limp hovering over the mountains of forbidden objects; Some of the broken bottles contained potions that had already solidified; There were also hats, jewels, cloaks, things like dragon eggshells; A few gagged bottles still glowed with an evil light; There were also a couple of rusty swords and a bloodstained large axe.
Walking along the side of the alley, Mo smelled the pungent smell of dust, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn, where is the wizard with the wig, Harry didn't find it very easily, how come I came here several times and didn't find out." ”
Ravenclaw's crown, in the original book, only acted as Voldemort's Horcrux appeared twice, but for Mo Wen, this is almost the easiest item he can get his hands on at this stage, whether it is for his magic research, or for his reputation in Ravenclaw, so after he got acquainted with it in school, he came here to find the crown, but unfortunately he lacked Harry's protagonist aura or the subtle connection between the Horcruxes, and he didn't find it a few times.
After a long time in the room of requirement, Mo Wen, who had found nothing, looked at the pocket watch in his hand and had to choose to give up, after all, he is also a little famous now, and if he doesn't see him for too long, it will arouse suspicion, who knows if Dumbledore has noticed him.
And just as Mo Wen was about to turn away, the crate next to him suddenly shook and toppled down, and a row of books and tattered pieces were scattered on the ground, and a cabinet door appeared there, and next to it was the head of an ugly old wizard, covered with a gray old hair cover and a rusty crown.
In the headmaster's room, smiling at the old man sitting in front of him who kept looking at the Ravenclaw crown, Mo Wen asked lightly, "How is it, Professor Dumbledore, do you see something?" ”
Instead of answering Mo Wen's question, Dumbledore helped his glasses and said to a portrait, "Dyster, can you please find Lady Helena and Barrow, I have something to discuss with them, oh, by the way, by the way, call Professor Flitwick as well." ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, I will be happy to serve you." The figure in one of the portraits bowed, then vanished.
Only then did Dumbledore turn to Mo Wen, "Mr. Gurris, you are really surprised, although I am not 100% sure at the moment, but as far as I can see, this is probably Ravencalaw's crown, if you can, can you tell me how you found him?" ”
Dumbledore's eyes were extraordinarily bright at this time, attracting the attention of others like a whirlpool, making Mo Wen feel a little dizzy, and hurriedly cast an evasive detection on himself, and then used the brain occlusion technique, Mo Wen suppressed the discomfort in his brain, and then opened his mouth to explain, of course, he would not tell the truth that he found a clue from the original book and took it directly, but said that he accidentally found a wonderful room, where he found this crown, and he didn't notice much at first, However, this crown obviously had a wave of black magic, and he looked at it carefully with curiosity, only to find that it was very similar to the legendary Ravenclaw crown, and he took it to the headmaster to confirm it when he was unsure.
Dumbledore listened to Mo Wen's explanation without saying a word, not knowing what was going on in his mind, and at this moment Helena and Barrow also emerged from the wall, "Ah! It is the crown of the mother! As soon as Lady Gray entered the room, she noticed the worn tiara, and cried out excitedly.
The bloody man behind her, Barrow, also had a flickering gaze, and his expression was a little excited.
"That's right, Mr. Guris stumbled upon this crown in the castle, and we can't be sure whether it's true or not, so we'd like to ask the two of you to identify it." Dumbledore explained.
At this time, Ms. Gray also calmed down, and without saying a word, flew to the side of the crown, and carefully examined it up and down, and Barrow also floated nearby and began to observe, and after a long time, Ms. Gray said with certainty: "Yes, this is the mother's crown, but how could it be here, it was not ・・・・・・ by him" Ms. Gray's voice gradually became quieter, and at last it was almost inaudible.
Similarly, Barrow the Bloody nodded at Dumbledore.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Dumbledore just smiled and said to Mo Wen: "Mr. Gurris, congratulations, you won the Hogwarts Special Contribution Award, oh, by the way, let me think about it, Ravenclaw plus two hundred points, who would have thought that Ravenclaw's crown would be recovered after so many years?" Maybe we should celebrate・・・・・・"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Professor Flitwick also pushed the door in, "Dumbledore, are you looking for me for something?" ”
"Of course, that's a great thing." Dumbledore laughed.
