Chapter Eighty-Five: The Crown Begins

Ralph stood in front of a pile of garbage, staring at the top of the pile.

On top of this pile of garbage, there is a beautiful blue flower that emits a little blue starlight, which seems to be shining wisdom.

The fly in the ointment is that it is surrounded by black mist, and the mist shrinks and expands, as if it has life, but this action looks a little sluggish.

Blue starlight appeared and disappeared in the black mist, resisting the erosion of darkness.

Sunlight filtered through the window, dispelling the darkness in the bedroom, and Ralph opened his eyes and sat up, looking out the window.

It took him a while to recover and "dream again."

In the morning, after a few people had finished their transfiguration class, they were called down by Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall wanted them to help clean up the Room of Need, and the four of them agreed, and the time was the weekend.

With Professor McGonagall's explanation, they knew why they were called.

Because the first room Professor McGonagall intended to clean was the one Ralph had entered last time, and it was full of clutter.

Ralph also gradually understood the context of the dream.

That flower is a treasure, what exactly it is, and the dark mist on its side is the evil aura encountered in the last dream.

In the afternoon, Ralph came to the room full of "garbage" alone.

As everyone gradually got acquainted, the four of them no longer got together all the time.

Daniel was called away by Severus to help; Claude soaked in the library alone, accompanied by many young ladies; William couldn't stand Billy's pleading, and was dragged by him to Quidditch training early.

Ralph usually goes to Professor Gradir or Flitwick to learn martial arts, and he decides to go out into the world.

Of course, the four of them would still get together for dinner, and go to the castle and the surrounding area together, sometimes to see the big man Hagrid, and sometimes to try their luck in Professor Sprout's greenhouse, to see if the professor would take them to the greenhouse area of the Forbidden Forest.

Looking at the mountains and seas of garbage, Ralph casually lowered his wand into the air, as if an invisible table held it up.

"The flower's location."

Ralph elaborated on what he was looking for.

The wand did not give Ralph a clear bearing, as usual, but instead kept spinning there.

As if disturbed by some force, Ralph immediately thought of the dark aura.

So, he stretched out his hand, and a beating lightning appeared in the palm of his hand, which was the lightning bolt related to his soul before.

At his will, lightning leaped into the wand, and a dense arc of electricity erupted from its surface.

The wand spun slower and slower, and the range of swing became more and more fixed, and soon the wand was pointing straight to Ralph's left, and although the tip of the wand was still shaking slightly, it no longer affected the result.

The wand led the way, and Ralph followed, carefully walking through the gaps between the various magical items.

Perceiving the magic on these items, Ralph found that they had regained some of their magic, but not much.

Coming to the destination, the same mountain of garbage as in the dream.

The difference is that there is not a single blue flower or black mist on the top of the mountain, but only an old crown on which time has arbitrarily drawn its traces.

At first glance, it was a rusty crown. The metal on it has grown black-brown scars, and the inside of the gemstone, which should be shiny and transparent, has become cloudy.

Cautiously getting closer, Ralph retrieved his wand that was hanging in the air, and the lightning gradually sank into his palm, leaving not a drop left.

A little towards the crown, it swayed from side to side, but it didn't float.

Seeing this, Ralph's eyes shrank and he took out a small bag from the wizard's robe, which Aberforth had given him.

Ralph knew at a glance that this was the shopping bag of Duke Honey's candy store, and the magic engraved on it was [Sniff Space], and the language used was bird language, Fu

It is made by X, and there is also a golden-red paw print in the lower right corner.

How could Aberforth be? Was it given to him by Fawkes?

Opening the bag, Ralph took out a pair of dragon skin gloves and put them on his hands.

He used the [Flying Charm] on the crown again, but unfortunately, the crown only shook in his direction and stopped.

In a different way, Ralph used the [Water Creation Charm], and a slender stream of water under his control crawled the garbage like the top.

"Huhuhu~"

A few sounds of breaking the air were heard, and Ralph was a little bit, and a barrier appeared in front of him.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Several autonomous offensive magic items slammed into the barrier, some lost their strength and fell to the ground, and several were still attacking the magic barrier.

Under Ralph's magic, they were quickly restrained and fell to the ground.

However, the current that had been out of the water before had already dissipated.

It doesn't matter, Ralph casts the protective spell first, and then casts the [Water Creation Spell].

This time, he chose a little more effortless and let the current float in the air towards the target.

"Buzz~"

It was the sound of a speculum, which Ralph had seen many times in the Deves and Bans stores.

Most of the people who come to repair the speculum are because it has a problem and cannot accurately distinguish between friend and foe, which leads to a constant buzzing sound, which is very annoying.

However, the speculum seems to be very "healthy".

With the triggering of the speculum, countless magical items in the garbage heap were activated, various magical effects appeared one after another, and the hill began to collapse.

Before he had time to think about it, Ralph cast a [Thunderbolt Guardian] on his body and ran directly towards the crown.

He trusts his instincts, and if there is no danger warning, he will run straight into it, and only when there is a danger warning, he will avoid it.

Casting the [Levitation Charm] on his body, Ralph jumped among the garbage, and with his unusual balance ability, he often used it as a focus point to leap upwards.

The hand with the dragon's skin glove took the crown, and I don't know if it was an illusion, Ralph felt that the crown seemed to struggle for a moment, but it was very slight and fleeting.

Without much thought, the wand was pointed a little ahead, and countless pieces of garbage immediately flew in both directions, revealing the avenue to heaven for Ralph.

With a big stride and a nimbly dodge the incoming garbage, Ralph made his way to safety.

After examining the crown carefully, and checking it in his hand, to make sure it was not moving, Ralph placed him in a storage feather.

In this storage feather, there is only one thing, the crown, which ensures safety.

Ralph then left the Room of Requirement and went to the library to study with Claude.

On the way, he was wondering what it was, "Ravenclaw's crown?"

He was amused by himself, how could it be!
