Chapter 54: The Third Wooden Coffin
It took Rove more than ten seconds to dispose of the "special gift" left by Margaery.
In his previous life, he also had this peak hand speed, that is, when someone borrowed a mobile phone, he deleted the browsing history at an astonishing speed.
It can only be said that at the critical moment when people are about to die, they can indeed burst out with amazing power.
However, one thing to say, several of the uniforms, both in terms of style and thinness, are really good, which makes Rove like it very much.
Of course, this liking is simply based on the angle of other people's wear, not his own special habits!
After disposing of the clothes, Rove checked the corners and under the bed to prevent Margaery from putting some gadgets that vibrated at the touch of the remote control and ruined her glorious image.
After cleaning the room, Newt finally returned from Dean Woods, and sat down on the couch with a tired face.
Soon, Shirley took the freshly brewed black tea, put it on the coffee table, and after softly saying hello, she walked quickly back to the kitchen and helped Tina.
Newt picked up the teacup, took a sip with an unchanged expression, and when he saw his precious grandson looking at him, he asked, "Rove, what's wrong with you?" ”
Rove tilted his head to the kitchen and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, aren't you surprised to see Shirley?" ”
"Not surprised." The old man shook his head and said in a warm voice:
"Albus wrote to me that you had returned to England from Berlin using a portkey, but I waited for a few days and didn't see you, so I knew you were supposed to be looking for Shirley.
I'll also ask your grandmother to clean up the room for the two of you. ”
Rove raised his eyebrows slightly, no wonder Grandma Tina was able to take a fancy to the autistic Newt, she was indeed very careful.
Newt looked at the boy through his thick bangs and said softly, "Bring her home this time...... Still leaving? ”
"I'm not leaving." Rove shook his head and said, "I plan to let Shirley live at home during the holidays in the future, the environment in the nun is too bad, I don't plan to let her go back." ”
"Well, you can just make your own decisions." Newt smiled, "But your grandma and I like Shirley, she's a good boy." ”
"I can't get my eyes off." Rove grinned and said, "But there is another reason why I haven't come back for so many days......"
"Did you encounter something?"
Rove hummed softly and said, "I found the tomb of Ravenclaw near the monastery where Shirley was. ”
"Ravenclaw's tomb?" Newt wasn't too surprised, because he knew that Rove had traveled back a thousand years and had come into contact with the Big Four...... It is not surprising to know the location of the tomb.
Rove was quick to recount everything that had happened in the past few days.
Newt pondered for a long time, and after a long time, he was a little puzzled:
Shirley was able to walk through the tomb gate, and she lived in a monastery near the Ravenclaw tomb...... Could she be a descendant of Ravenclaw? ”
"It's not." Rove was sure: "After the death of Ravenclaw and Helena, the Ravenclaw family was completely extinct, leaving no bloodline, but ......"
He paused and continued, "It's likely that she has something to do with one of the Big Four, and I'm just guessing ...... specifics."
"That's right." Newt nodded, and seeing that Rove didn't want to say more, he didn't ask too deeply.
"In addition to the bodies of Ravenclaw and Helena, I found something very strange." Rove said.
"What's that?"
"A wooden coffin...... The coffin was large, but there was no writing, only a mark carved on the lid. ”
"Deathly Hallows." Newt muttered.
"How do you know?" Rove was a little surprised, "Have you also encountered that ghost ship?" ”
"I haven't encountered a ghost ship, but I've seen the coffin in one place." Newt said seriously.
"Where?"
"Forbidden Forest...... Tribe of centaurs! ”
"The Centaur tribe?" Hearing this familiar name, Rove was a little stunned for a while
"You should know, I've been to the centaur tribe many times before."
Rove nodded, "I heard Ronan talk about this, and you would bring them fireworks and Hogsmeade food, but then they never went again." ”
"There's a reason why I don't go." Newt recalled:
"At that time, there was a disease in the centaur tribe, and no one could cure it, so I stayed there for half a year.
Once, when the Centaur tribe was holding a sacrifice, I stumbled upon a wooden coffin, which was the one you described.
The centaur leader was angry and told me to leave the tribe, and I haven't been there since. ”
Rove groaned, if you count the wooden coffins of the centaur tribe, there are already three identical coffins.
Or rather...... These three wooden coffins are actually the same coffin?
Rove wasn't sure, but he only had to go to the centaur tribe and see the coffin with his own eyes...... It's not the same coffin!
The boy brought up the apple tree again, and he took out a dozen golden apples, handed them to Newt, and said:
"Grandpa, if you feel low on energy, you can take one and you can recover your energy immediately."
"Oh, is it so amazing?" Newt took the golden apple, looked at it carefully, and exclaimed:
"This golden apple reminds me of Ilvermorny's serpentine tree, and if you eat a leaf, your injuries will heal."
"I thought of that snake tree too." Rove said, "I remember it was planted by Aesop Sayr, the builder of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" ”
"I'll have to ask your grandmother, she's a graduate of Ilvermorny, and we're both Hogwarts." Newt laughed and shouted:
"Tina, that snake tree at your school was planted by Aesop Thor, right?"
Tina, who was busy working in the kitchen, poked her head out and wondered, "Why did you remember to ask this?" ”
"Rove brought a few golden apples, which look like snake wood, all of them have magical effects." Newt explained.
"Oh, that's right." Tina nodded, "The snake tree was indeed planted by Aesop Thor, but instead of seeds, she planted a wand. ”
"Wand?"
"That's right." Tina said in an old voice, "Every student of Ilvermorny knows the story of the founder of the school, Aesop Thor. ”
"She was born in the seventeenth century as a pure-blood witch of Ireland and later traveled to the New World aboard the Mayflower, where she and her husband, James Stewart, built Ilvermorny." Tina said slowly:
"Later, Aesop Thorr buried her wand in the ground, and within a year, a snake tree grew from the place where the wand was buried, and its leaves had powerful healing properties."
A wand turns into a magical snake wood...... Rove quickly fell into deep thought.
