"The Ministry of Magic is not taking over Gringotts directly."

Across the long table, Dylan, who had finished reading the newspaper, said.

"Gringotts is all over the world." Kayla, who was sitting next to Dylan, spoke, "The British Ministry of Magic has only decided to oversee the security of Gringotts. ”

"Oh, damn the Daily Prophet, always deceiving people with headlines!" Eddie read the report in a huff.

"Let me see." Scott reached for the newspaper and looked at it a few times.

The specifics of the report are just like what Dylan and Kayla said.

［…… In order to ensure the safety of the property of the British wizards, the Ministry of Magic sent a team of Aurors to Gringotts Bank in the United Kingdom.

These experienced and veteran Aurors will oversee the security of Gringotts Bank...... ］

"Even so, the elves are not happy." Eddie said, "The elves are greedy creatures, and I'm afraid they've taken everything in Gringotts as their property." ”

"This has happened more than once, and I'm afraid there will be a lot fewer wizards who can rest assured that they will hand over their property to Gringotts Bank in the future." Roger said with a smile.

"What was robbed yesterday, they still haven't been announced in the newspapers." Scott put down the newspaper.

"Yesterday's newspaper said that it was opened as the Lestrange family's underground vault." Milton spoke, "The Lestrange family is now locked up in Azkaban. ”

"No wonder." Eddie shrugged his shoulders, "They're not responsible for the robbery of the underground vault yet. ”

For the students of Hogwarts, even the big news that Gringotts Bank had been breached head-on was just some after-dinner conversation.

They had no access to more information than what was published in the newspapers.

But Scott wanted to know more.

After the morning lesson, he met with Rimbaud in the Forbidden Forest and asked Rimbaud to send Raven to get more information.

"Whether it's Gringotts Bank or the Ministry of Magic, it's all under surveillance." He said to Rimbaud, "I have a hunch that something big is going to happen in the British wizarding world. ”

Rimbaud asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Scott just shook his head, "I don't know, but something will happen." ”

"Okay, I'll make the crows try." Rimbaud agrees to Scott's request.

As Rimbaud began to take the crows to find out the news, he traveled back and forth between London and Hogwarts almost every day, and Scott met with him more often.

Thanks to its efforts, Scott has succeeded in obtaining a lot of information that is hidden from the public.

First of all, the missing item in the Lestrange family's underground vault has actually been determined, and it is indeed the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

In order to check the lost items, the Ministry of Magic, in addition to checking the list of vault items kept by Gringotts, also sent someone to Azkaban to report to Rodolphus in prison? Lestrange vs. Rabastan? The Lestrange brothers, and Rodolphus' wife, Bellatrix? Lestrange asked.

Because of the crazy Bellatrix? Lestrange shouted when he heard the news, and now the Ministry of Magic knew that the missing gold cup had been given to Lestrange by the Dark Lord for safekeeping.

At the Ministry of Magic, Rimbaud also observes a strange phenomenon.

As a minister, Fudge became increasingly reticent.

Some members of the Secretariat of the Minister's Office would hold secret meetings with some people from other departments behind Fudge's back.

Fudge was furious.

Rimbaud said, "His face will become like a dark cloud." ”

But he did not explicitly prohibit such behavior.

"The Secretariat of the Minister's Office?"

When Scott heard the news, he had the feeling that it was indeed so.

"Milton's father, Mr. Grevis, is the head of the Secretariat." He asked softly.

"Mr. Grevis?" Rimbaud tilted his head, "I don't know Milton's father, but there's a Mr. Graves there." ”

"Keep up the good work."

Scott reached out and touched Rimbaud's feathers.

"Medea will digest the Horcruxes she got as soon as possible, and she won't care about the Ministry of Magic for the time being." He commanded, "Give me as much as you can a list of those who will attend the conclave, they must all be Medea's men." ”

"No problem." Rimbaud agreed.

The days that followed passed without any incident, and Scott continued to study at the same high intensity as last semester.

Even on weekends, his time was full, except for the days when Ravenclaw House competed in Quidditch.

The news of the Gringotts Bank robbery has cooled down as time passed.

In the first week of February, Professor Black suddenly began to miss Defence Against the Dark Arts class, leaving Lupin, the only teacher in the class who was left alone.

Lupin didn't specify where Blake went, and the students began to talk about it.

Scott, on the other hand, had already guessed the reason.

At noon the day after Blake's disappearance, Scott received a letter from Dumbledore.

In the letter, the old principal asked Scott to come to his office.

Scott arrives at the Headmaster's office and finds Harry inside.

"Good afternoon, Scott." Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk, beckoned to Scott, "Come and sit, what do you want to drink?" ”

"Black tea, no sugar, thank you."

Scott, who was familiar with the Headmaster's office, sat down on a stool next to Harry.

"Okay."

Dumbledore snapped his fingers with a smile, and a steaming cup of black tea appeared in front of Scott.

"Scott, my guess was right!"

At this time, Harry said to Scott with some excitement: "Kreacher really knows the truth about Regulus's disappearance!" ”

Scott lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Professor Black's missing brother, is he still alive?" ”

"I don't know." Harry said, "Sirius didn't tell me the results, he just said he asked something and he was excited. ”

"And now, where is Professor Black?" Scott asked again.

"Let me tell you." Dumbledore spoke, "Sirius contacted me, and that was a major discovery. ”

He said in a light sigh, "Who would have thought that a great secret would be kept in the mind of a house-elf. ”

Scott put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Dumbledore with some confusion, "Professor, it doesn't seem like I need to listen to this matter?" ”

"I need your help, Scott." Dumbledore smiled kindly at him, "Listen, please. ”

Scott hesitated, but nodded.

"It's about Voldemort's Horcruxes." Dumbledore whispered.

"Horcruxes?" Harry didn't know why.

Since he didn't destroy Riddle's diary as in the "originals", this leads to the fact that he is not yet very clear about the concept of Horcruxes.

Dumbledore patiently explained to him the evil principles and functions of Horcruxes.

Harry was quick to react, "The journal that controls Ginny ......"

Dumbledore nodded, "That's one of the Horcruxes, too." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Scott, "Scott did an arithmetic divination on this, and the results of that arithmetic divination tell us that by initiative or accident, in short, Voldemort made a total of 7 Horcruxes. ”

Harry frowned tightly when he heard this, "So, we have to destroy all of his Horcruxes to take him down?" ”

"Theoretically, that's so."

Dumbledore muttered, skipping the subject.

"Is the relic left behind by Regulus a Horcrux?" Harry asked again.

"I'm afraid that's the case." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Yes, it's already been stolen." ”

Harry exclaimed, "Could it be Lord Voldemort?" I dreamed of him......"

"Harry?"

Dumbledore immediately looked at Harry, and his blue eyes flashed with wisdom.

"Tell me, what did you dream about?" He asked softly.

"It was just a dream." Harry resisted, "That doesn't mean anything. ”

Dumbledore said meaningfully, "No, actually wizarding dreams can represent a lot of things, especially you, Harry. ”

"Me?" Harry was completely confused.

Dumbledore didn't explain, and at his request, Harry recounted his dream.

As Harry recounted the dream, Scott's eyes began to look at the portrait of the former Headmaster on the wall of his office.

The former headmasters in those portraits still looked like they were napping, but the slightly open eyes had betrayed them.

Especially Scott's suspicion of Phineas? Blake, his movements are somewhat noticeable.

Scott frowned.

If Harry could have seen the news of Voldemort's actions reach Medea through her dreams, would she have thought that Harry was a "Horcrux"?

Even if she hadn't thought of that, it didn't stop her from using Harry as a Voldemort detector.

At that moment, Dumbledore, who had listened to Harry's story, said to him, "Harry, what you saw in your dream is real. ”

"How is that possible?" Harry couldn't believe it, "It's just a dream...... How so? ”

Without waiting for Dumbledore to reply, Scott suddenly spoke, "Is it because of the prophecy?" The power of prophecy created a connection between Harry and Voldemort. ”

Dumbledore glanced at Scot in surprise, but did not refute his words.

The lesser of two powers, Scott thought.

"That seems to make sense." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"What prophecy?" Harry asked, dumbfounded, "Why don't I know?" ”

Dumbledore was still smiling, looking at Scott with kind eyes.

Scott could only open his mouth to explain, "A prophecy from more than ten years ago, about you and Voldemort, Voldemort decided to get rid of you after hearing that prophecy, of course, this action caused him to fail. ”

"Just because of the prophecy?" Harry had some hard time accepting it.

He glanced at Dumbledore and immediately understood that Scott's words were true.

"Why do you know this?" He couldn't help but ask Scott.

"Some of the portraits and ghosts in this castle know about it." Scott replied, "Of course, they don't usually talk about it to others. ”

Of course what he said was true, and he had talked about it when he and Helena were chatting about it.

Is prophecy so powerful? I mean, let me connect with Voldemort? ”

Harry still had trouble accepting that he was connected to Voldemort.
