At breakfast, Ted comforted his friends, and they came at noon.

Ted was a little strange, looked at the anxious Ron and asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't you get your meal? ”

Ron waved his hand repeatedly: "Eh! Who said that! Do I just know that I can't eat it? Besides, I've seen the menu at noon, and there's nothing new......"

Jerry hurriedly stabbed him!

Ron suddenly realized: "Ah, you forgot what to say to me." Do you remember Sir Cadogan? ”

Hermione's eyes lit up, "You mean, treasure!" The voice was very small, as if it would be heard.

Ted also suddenly realized that there were too many things to be busy with during the holidays, and he actually forgot about it.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot."

Ted admits that he is indeed a noble person who forgets things~, and asks, "What, what news do you have?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Ron grinned, smiled, and looked around at his friends: How is it? What do you think? It's not up to me!

As a result, Hermione spoke: "I checked ......"

It turned out that Hermione looked up this Sir Cadogan in the library during the holidays.

But it's probably still the information, the characters of myths and legends, the legendary members of the Knights of the Round Table.

Ron: That's it? I was shocked, and I thought I had done useless work again!

He said mysteriously: "Do you know who led us to the way when we got lost in the divination class yesterday? ”

"Who?"

"Sir Cadogan!"

"Ahh Have you found his ghost? ”

"What a ghost! Portrait! ”

Yesterday was too late, and Ron forgot about Neville's "death". I woke up in the morning and remembered it.

A few people didn't even eat lunch for a while, so they went to look for the portrait.

As a result, I inquired around, and found that this Sir Cadogan was really disgusting, and no one knew where his frame was. I even rolled my eyes when I mentioned it.

How is this mixed?

You don't talk about portraits, even the ghost with great powers doesn't know where he is.

Ted asked the two resident ghosts, the Fat Friar and the nearly headless Nick, who had been in the castle for hundreds of years and didn't know where Sir Cadogan's portrait was.

It's not that I didn't know it all the time, but Sir Cadogan's brain circuit is a bit single, and he acts a bit like a seriously ill Don Quixote, which has a very serious impact on other portraits.

So about two hundred years ago, his portrait was put away by the school staff and stored separately.

Since then, there have been few opportunities for Sir Cadogan to come out and charge on horseback, and sometimes a young wizard has not seen him from the time he entered school until he graduated.

That said, the last time Neville met Sir Cadogan, it was a surprise.

Ted looked at Neville: It wasn't necessarily an accident...... These things are prone to occur around the children of destiny.

There was no harvest that day, but in the evening, Ted came up with an idea, or rather a "person" to help.

Peeves!

If there was a "man" who could find a portrait of Sir Cadogan, it would be Peeves.

As for how to convince him...... Ted went with a whip.

Peeves promised to help very face-saving, saying that it was incumbent.

I really worked hard, and at breakfast the next day, I quietly told Ted that I had found it - in an abandoned utility room on the seventh floor of a spire.

When Ted found Sir Cadogan's portrait, his portrait was standing on the ground facing the wall, and the magic of the classroom was limited.

He guessed that the reason why Sir Cadogan showed up so little was because the staff had moved his portrait to a room where there was little magic supply.

It took a long time for Sir Cadogan to wake up from his slumber, and it wasn't long before he fell asleep again. Doesn't that limit him!

Yes, now Sir Cadogan leaned on his horse, sleeping on the grass until snot bubbles came out.

Ted took the portrait directly to the secret base and allocated some mana supplies.

The more Ted researched the Room of Requirement, and the more Lady Ravenclaw had left behind about the founding of the school, the more he felt the wonder and greatness of Hogwarts.

It's a bit amazing to have artificially uprooted mountains, built schools, and built such an intricate magic supply system at the magic gathering point of the Scottish Highlands.

I'm afraid it's this kind of big project that can be built together by four people who have reached the end of the wizard's path.

Then again, with the mana supply, it didn't take long for Sir Cadogan to wake up.

"Hmm~ It seems that I woke up a little early this time. Hey? What is this place?! Sir Cadogan exclaimed.

Ron, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly asked, "Sir Cadogan, where is the treasure?" ”

But many jazz mustaches cocked, "Treasure, what treasure?" "I looked confused, not like I was pretending.

"Treasure! Treasures of Gryffindor! ”

Sir Cadogan looked puzzled: "What Gryffindor treasure?" I haven't heard of it! I don't know Gryffindor! ”

He hadn't really lied, he hadn't known Gryffindor.

He existed hundreds of years before Gryffindor.

But why is his portrait in the castle?

It is not certain that there was no such magical technique for moving portraits in those days, at least until now, there was only one magical portrait of Sir Cadogan.

It must have been a portrait of Sir Cadogan painted by a later generation and placed in the castle. Who could that be?

Hermione and Ted glanced at each other: it was probably Gryffindor.

I have to explain here that magic portraits are only the kind of portraits that are drawn according to the person, with the consent of the person, and infused with the magic of the person. will have their own character and thoughts.

And like some "original character paintings", what fishing guys and the like, there is only a very simple character, which is the personality given by the "painter" and the wizard, which is not so distinct.

The most typical is the portrait of the principal on the wall in the principal's office, they are much more flexible than the fat lady and the air force guy hanging on the wall. It's simply a person who lives in a frame.

It may be precisely because the characters in the painting are "self-created" according to the legend, not according to his own drawing, that Sir Cadogan is so out of tune.

……

It is now clear that Gryffindor has put obstacles in Sir Cadogan's body and needs to meet the conditions in order to get the information.

It's like the Sorting Hat only told the treasure information after Neville got the Gryffindor Sword and was recognized.

Sir Cadogan should do the same.

But maybe he didn't know that there was such a thing, and he had to trigger the condition to react.

Ron Harry and the others chattered around Sir Cadogan, while Hermione whispered to herself, "Gryffindor's puzzle shouldn't be too complicated or too right." He doesn't value wisdom......"

It's as if the Sorting Hat says "The secret is behind Slytherin", and the message is really engraved on the back of the Slytherin statue, a straightforward batch.

Ted continued her words, "So be direct and don't think too deeply. ”

Hermione nodded and said to Sir Cadogan, "Gryffindor let us come to you!" ”

Sir Cadogan, who had been arguing with Harley and the others with relish, was suddenly stunned, his eyes were blank, and he said, "Go after my deeds!" The secret is there! ”

"Huh? What's going on? Where did I just go? He asked, confused, apparently unaware of what he had said.

The friends were stunned, where could they care about him, but they all looked at Hermione.
