Chapter 198: Voldemort's Horcruxes
Krum went to the Gryffindor common room and invited Hermione to be his dance partner, but the tragic refusal soon spread to the other houses through the mouths of Gryffindor students.
When many people heard about this for the first time, they were a little incredulous, and even wondered if the order was reversed.
After all, Hermione's invitation to Krum was rejected, which is what everyone intuitively wants.
But there were many witnesses, and the little lions were also conclusive, so everyone finally believed that this was true, not a rumor.
But here's the problem...... Hermione is extremely ordinary-looking, a typical "nerd", and not very popular with boys.
And Krum, as a famous Quidditch star, would invite her, what kind of aesthetic is this?
Doesn't he look at his appearance, and only likes female schoolgirls with excellent grades?
Of course, what surprised everyone more than Krum's invitation was that Hermione simply refused him...... And the reason is "I have a dance partner".
To be honest, everyone doesn't believe in this statement, after all, what kind of dance partner can be more attractive than Krum?
But soon, another rumor appeared - from Hermione's roommate Lavender Brown, who "accidentally" revealed while chatting with others:
"Hermione doesn't have a dance partner, she just likes Rol Scamander, that's why she refuses Krum......"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still very puzzled accepted them instantly, and they also felt that it was very reasonable.
Scamander is much more famous than Krum, he also won two Merlin medals, he is much more powerful than Krum, and most importantly, he is extremely handsome......
As for Krum, who is eighteen years old, has a thirty-eight-year-old face, so much so that there are still fans who report to the Quidditch Committee of the International Federation of Wizards, saying that he:
falsely reported his age, obviously he was a thirty-year-old man, but he insisted on pretending to be a young man.
In such a comparison, it is normal for Hermione to reject Krum.
There were many female students at Hogwarts who were heartbroken by the fact that Rove had become Shirley's dance partner and decided not to attend the ball again...... It seems that Hermione is also a member of the Heartbreak Club.
Hermione's refusal also made many students who couldn't find a dance partner feel a lot better:
Look, even a big star like Krum is rejected by girls, isn't it normal for them to be rejected?
In short, this semester has come to an end in such a program-like and joyful atmosphere, and the long-awaited Christmas holiday has finally arrived.
Unlike previous years, this year's Christmas break, most of the students from the fourth grade of Hogwarts stayed at the school.
The professors gave a lot of homework, but no one had the heart to do it, the students were playing to their heart's content, and the school was even noisier than usual.
Rove didn't do his homework either, and he was taking Shirley to work hard in the Room of Need.
At this time, in front of them, there is a mountain of items:
There are thousands of books; 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; And hats, jewelry, cloaks, things like dragon eggshells......
These are the treasures that the students of Hogwarts used to leave in the Room of Need, and after thousands of years of accumulation, they have become a veritable mountain of garbage.
Similarly, in this mountain of garbage, there is also Voldemort's treasure - the Horcrux.
Rove and Shirley are looking for the Horcrux made from the fake Ravenclaw crown.
But the problem now is that there is so much stuff here that a crown is hidden in it, and finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
So, the first time Harry came here to hide something, he was able to touch that crown, he was really a son of the plane, and he did have dog luck.
But Rove's luck was obviously not good, he had been here occasionally since he was in the second grade, and after two and a half years of scavenging, he still didn't find the crown.
Sometimes he really wants to use the fire spell to order this place, saving time and effort.
Just as Rove hesitated to increase his manpower and call Hermione, Fleur, and Gabrielle to help, Shirley's voice sounded in the distance.
"Rov, come over here!"
The boy immediately lifted his spirits, picked up the box, flew off into the distance, and after passing through several mountains of garbage, he quickly found Shirley.
The ponytail girl stood in front of a large cabinet with a blistered surface that looked like it had been splashed with strong acid, and in her hand was a crown of rust.
Rove fell to Shirley's side, took the crown from her hand, stroked it gently, and smiled, "I finally found you." ”
Rove looked at Shirley and said, "Let's go back to the box first." ”
He placed the black suitcase on the ground, opened it and jumped in first, followed by Shirley.
After Rove fell into the room, he put the worn-out crown on the table, and at the same time explained:
"Shirley, go get that goblin dagger soaked in basilisk venom."
The ponytail girl snorted and turned towards a box.
At this time, I don't know if I heard Rove's words, and a pair of reddened eyes suddenly appeared on the rusty crown.
He stared at the boy and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you a student at Hogwarts?" ”
"Yes." Rove looked into those eyes and asked knowingly, "Who are you?" ”
"Me?" Voldemort's eyes rolled and he smiled, "I am Rowena Ravenclaw's crown, and like Gryffindor's Sorting Hat, I have my own consciousness......"
"Ravenclaw's crown?" An exaggerated look appeared on Rove's face, "Could it be that you are the legendary crown that can increase wisdom after wearing it?" ”
"That's right, it's me." Voldemort flickered:
"Ravenclaw left me in the Room of Need, so that I can wait for someone who is destined to pass on her magic, it seems that you are the person who is destined to do so!"
"Son, open your heart, let go of your soul, and give me all your heart." Voldemort said in a demagogic voice:
"I can teach you how to increase prestige, brew glory, and even conquer death......"
"Really?" Rove smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I also have a crown here, you can help me take a look." ”
The boy opened the drawer and pulled out the real Ravenclaw tiara, side by side with the Horcrux.
Voldemort looked at the glittering crown and was stunned for a moment, and he was taken aback and said, "You...... Your crown is fake...... Fake. ”
"Fakes?" Rove laughed, "But it was given to me by Helena, and she said I was the real Ravenclaw crown." ”
She added...... I once tricked a second fool named Tom Riddle into going to a tree hole in the Albanian forest and taking a fake crown.
Crown, crown...... Have you ever seen that two fools? ”
