The interrogation of Daphne is over.

It didn't exceed Dumbledore and Zhang Xiao's expectations, she didn't know much, and many of them were secretly told to her by the Death Eater who pursued her.

If it weren't for this Death Eater, I guess Daphne wouldn't have been able to say any additional information.

Voldemort didn't say anything other than using her own advantage to get her to go to Hogwarts in the guise of her sister and find an opportunity to bring out the wicker box.

Why wicker boxes, I don't know.

What's in the wicker box, don't know.

Anyway, she's a tool man, and as for why she approached Harry Potter, this stupid woman who doesn't know what she's thinking in her head is actually making her own decisions.

She wanted to use Harry's girlfriend to break into the Dueling Club, and then get some information for Voldemort, hoping to get his appreciation.

Dumbledore once again left Daphne unconscious, and called Professor McGonagall to take her away.

The future that awaits Daphne is not destined to be good.

"Zhang, why do you think Tom wants that wicker box?"

Dumbledore held the small teacup in his hand, and the conversation naturally focused on the wicker box.

This wicker box is a serendipity provided by the diary, and is placed alongside the Ravenclaw tiara.

The chest was protected by a lot of insidious dark magic, and it contained only a few Slytherin research notes.

Zhang Xiao also discussed with Dumbledore, which was basically a more bloody body modification.

If I had to say it, it was to explore the question of the origins of some wizards and magical beasts.

"Daphne says the Dark Lord needs new powers, could it be that wicker crates can provide that power? Is it a physical transformation? ”

Zhang Xiao didn't answer directly, but asked in a different direction, to be honest, he didn't know much about Voldemort.

"Flesh modification—" Dumbledore shook his head, a little confused, "but Tom has almost maxed out his body to the limit."

He used to be a handsome lad."

The principal's room fell silent again, the two drank tea silently, and after a while, Zhang Xiao rubbed his cheeks:

"Professor, I'm still more concerned about Voldemort's plan, it seems that he is very confident"

The same was true of Dumbledore.

Barty Jr. and Umbridge, the two right-hand men of Voldemort, may be able to look down on them, but there is no doubt that they are extremely capable.

Especially Umbridge, Zhang Xiao's only impression of this person is extremely annoying, and it even leads to a very interesting question.

[Name one person you hate the most in Harry Potter and explain why it's Umbridge]

But she started as a half-blood wizard and her father was a cleaner at the Ministry of Magic, and she became the head of the first department of the Ministry of Magic in her thirties, and later became the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic.

To say that she is incapable is to be deceiving herself, and in fact everyone who has come into contact with Umbridge has admitted it.

So when these two people went to work on a plan at the same time, and really believed that this plan could destroy all the resistance forces and help Voldemort rule the West.

It's better to really believe it, not to take it as a joke.

"It's a problem, I'll talk to Barty Sr. as soon as possible."

Dumbledore stood up, seeing his movements, Zhang Xiao also understood that today's conversation was over, he also stood up and cleaned up the tea set.

Only then did he leave the principal's office.

The portraits finally spoke, whispering about what would make Voldemort carry out his plans.

There is only one portrait of the headmistress who looks very serious:

"Albus, does Voldemort know something?"

"It's hard to say—" Dumbledore shook his head, his long white beard shaking, a rare wistful tinge of apprehension:

"Neofer, Tom has the Parseltongue, many parts of the castle are no secret to him, and he's smart enough to explore during his years at Hogwarts.

So I don't know if Tom found anything, but I think he might have some vague clues. ”

The headmistress became excited: "Even this is too dangerous, I can't imagine that if Voldemort really got that kind of thing, the world would really be destroyed by him." ”

"Calm down, it's nowhere near what you're worried about, at least not when we found out in the beginning."

Dumbledore suddenly chuckled in a low voice, and his blue eyes contained a meaningful emotion:

"Now I'm curious about something else. Why did Voldemort retrieve the wicker crate? The contents were nothing more than Slytherin research notes.

I've checked the same and there's nothing special. ”

Phineas, who had not spoken, pinched his goatee and asked in confusion:

"What does this mean?"

"It means two things, or Tom is hiding some information in a way that I can't see through."

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, and his voice was low and soft:

"Or. The side effects of the Horcrux were even greater than we thought, Tom only remembered that he had stored things inside the school, but the contents. Can't remember.

In other words, he has begun to forget something. ”

The school was empty, there was not a single figure in sight, and all the young wizards and staff were watching the game live in the auditorium.

The Hogwarts team is second again, so they should be cheering for victory at this moment, right?

Zhang Xiao raised his head and looked in the direction of the auditorium, even though it was half a castle, but the excited cheers and thunderous applause there seemed to be in his ears.

They should be happy, right?

couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, Zhang Xiao stood at the intersection of the corridor, but didn't know where to go.

After thinking about it, he turned around and went to the room on the eighth floor.

It's as quiet as ever.

The glove lady put down the book, looked at Zhang Xiao, who was lying on the sofa and didn't want to move, the projector played automatically, and she said through the voice of the movie:

"You look tired."

Zhang Xiao closed his eyes, and in a trance, he seemed to have come to the dark and gloomy bottom of the sea again, with huge stone statues, bones in the room, countless obstacles, and the Praetorian Guards kneeling down on one knee towards him.

and the tough, trident figure riding a 'water horse'.

It was undoubtedly a powerful city, and it would have been even more powerful if it had been placed a thousand years ago.

But the city of the sea, which seemed to never fall, vanished overnight, and the city seemed to be alive, with a deep sorrow and grievance that affected everyone who went there.

It wasn't until now that I seemed to be able to break free from that state of mind.

Tired, of course tired.

"Yes ma'am. I didn't feel it when I was playing, I just went to do something with Professor Dumbledore again, and now I suddenly feel very tired. ”

The Lady of the Glove didn't ask what was going on, she raised her hand gracefully, and the silky glove snapped her fingers in mid-air.

The surroundings immediately changed, and a huge bed with a curtain rose from the ground.

With a soft velvet mattress on it, Zhang Xiao happened to be caught by this bed, the curtain fell automatically, and the quiet and warm darkness wrapped him like a soft tulle.

The changes in the room are still going on, with huge gilt dressers, soft carpets on the floors, fireplaces lit in the fireplace, and various decorations on the shiny closets.

"Maybe you should take a break, this room has a certain special effect that can soothe the mood and make people sleep deeper."

Zhang Xiao looked at the familiar furnishings, this seemed to be the room she had slept in when she was in the first grade, no wonder she felt refreshed and comfortable.

As soon as the glove lady said this, Zhang Xiao suddenly felt that she was unusually tired, she yawned for a long time, sleepiness welled up, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

He nodded reluctantly at the lady, remembered something, and pulled out the vial that Professor Snape had thrown at him from his bag.

The water of life and death is revised again and again.

After pouring a small bottle cap according to experience, Zhang Xiao used the last of her energy to turn the clothes on her body into soft and comfortable pajamas, and lay on the bed and drank it all.

In just a moment, he fell into a sweet sleep.

The glove lady looked at him quietly, and after a long time, the box that had been carefully kept on the desk suddenly flew over, and the spirit paper man was windless.

A slender figure condensed in the air, she came to the bedside, stared at the sleeping Zhang Xiao, and suddenly her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, revealing a beautiful thrilling smile.

The room suddenly shook violently, everything around it became unreal, and endless light converged at this moment.

The glove lady's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her expression was a little painful, but her movements did not stop, and her hands with white silk gloves danced softly in the air, as if conducting a grand symphony.

The soft light seemed to have a substance at this moment, and she was allowed to pull and fiddle, and when everything was calm, all the light gathered into a bright ball of light.

The glove lady's ruddy face turned pale, and the spirit paper man could only simulate his mental state, if Zhang Xiao was awake, he must have known that this was caused by excessive consumption of the origin.

But he slept soundly at the moment, just turned over, avoided the light of the ball of light, and continued to sleep.

The Lady of the Glove watched his movements, smiled, and slowly guided the ball of light towards the boy's body.

Quietly, the ball of light sank into his body, and the golden light spell exploded, as if he had been pulled by something, and the blazing golden light burned like a flame on his body.

The originally clear golden light became brighter and brighter, like the sun at noon, and there was a faint sound of dragons and tigers roaring in the room.

The golden light slowly stabilized, and just looking at it gave it a reassuring heaviness.

The Lady of the Gloves stared at him, slowly drifting away again, and the paper figure fell back into the box, only the long silk gloves.

"Zhang, I entrust the future to you."

Harry and Malfoy lay in the common room in a bit of confusion, surrounded by Hermione, Cedric, and Neville, who were even more confused.

Who would have thought that just now, with great grief, was ready to go to the sea to move the rescuers, but not long after he came out, he learned that Hogwarts had successfully completed its goal and lit the lighthouse.

No, I haven't even seen what the lighthouse looks like??

When they were pulled to the platform for an interview with a blank face and accepted everyone's encouragement, they still didn't come back to their senses.

Let me tell us about my thoughts on lighting the lighthouse?

I don't know! Where's the lighthouse?

Fortunately, Madam Pomfrey saved them, and the queen of the school infirmary took them away by force, and Ludo Bagman wanted to protest, but Madam Pomfrey broke the line of defense with a single look.

I could only watch the first aid team take the little wizard to the lounge with a stupid look.

Fortunately, except for Ron, everyone was fine.

In fact, even Ron's injuries were not serious, and it took Madam Pomfrey less than five minutes to complete her treatment, and all that was left was to rest.

The lounge was empty, except for a few young wizards, who were exchanging messages trying to figure out what was going on.

It's a pity that Dumbledore, who was supposed to make up for an educational lesson, was at Hogwarts.

"Bang"

The door to the common room was slammed open, and the young wizards saw the Weasleys rush in, and Mrs. Weasley hugged the bewildered Ron and cried loudly.

Mr. Arthur's eyes were also red, and he pursed his lips, put one hand on his wife's shoulder, and gave Ron a very strong thumbs up with the other:

"Ronnie, you're the pride of mom and dad!"

Yes?

Ron stared at them dumbfounded, and then heard Mrs. Weasley sobbing again:

"I'm sorry, dear, Mom didn't know she had caused you so much harm and ignored your feelings."

"Wait, Mom! Oops, you don't want this, I'm out of breath! Ron broke free from Molly's embrace, gasped and said:

"Can you tell us what happened?"

A few little wizards who had been watching the play next to them immediately nodded desperately, they were so curious that no one had told them in detail until now.

Madam Pomfrey said two things, but she couldn't explain them.

As for Snape. He did the examination for Harry, and Harry suspected that he was tempted to kill himself, how could he possibly explain it?

"You don't know yet?"

Fred shrugged, and he and George looked at each other, and the twins immediately recreated the scene, their brilliant eloquence imitating what had happened.

The atmosphere in the lounge gradually became strange.

As they played out Ron's heartfelt monologue, Ron's face was already red like a boiled prawn.

The other three little wizards realized what was going on, and looked at Ron with shocked and admiring eyes.

"So the three of us were broadcast live all over the world at that time?"

Harry Malforron's body was shaky, and his tone was weak.

"Of course! Congratulations, you have managed to make your mark in history! ”

Fred shrugged, and George continued:

"Well, we discussed it for a while, and we felt that the prank we played on you in the past was indeed a bit excessive, so we apologize to you!"

Ron just felt his brain buzz and it exploded.

Only a few words lingered in my head.

"Global. Live"

Social death, completely achieved!
