Weekends at Hogwarts are always enjoyable, but some people don't think so.

At 7:50, Mikel, who had been grinding in the auditorium for half an hour, had to put down the dishes and walk back to the underground classroom.

He seems to be trying to enlist the help of his roommates to accompany him, or to put a curse on himself or something.

As long as he can escape this confinement, even if he is sent to the school hospital for two days, it will be no problem.

Kyle and Ryan never looked up at him.

"I'm going to go to the Quidditch pitch in a moment." Ryan didn't seem to notice that there was no one missing around him at all, so he naturally turned his head to the other side and said, "Aren't you going to recruit two people this year, I'm going to try my luck, maybe I can be selected." ”

"Yes, which position are you going to choose?" Kyle turned his head away, avoiding the pitiful look at the door.

"Chaser, just like you."

Ryan poured himself a glass of juice, "Or the goalkeeper is not bad, I've heard that the competition for this position is not that fierce. ”

"I don't know." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But I think you can try both positions and see which one is better suited for." ”

"That's what I thought too." Ryan took another piece of toast, "Are you going in a moment?" We can be together. ”

"I'm not going." Kyle shook his head, "As long as Cedric is there, I have other things to do." ”

After Harris graduated, Cedric became the team's new captain, whether it was recruiting new players or developing a training plan, it all fell to him.

The two chatted for a while, exactly eight o'clock.

There was no more Mikel's pitiful figure at the entrance of the auditorium.

Kyle and Ryan got up at the same time.

Ryan went straight to the Quidditch pitch, while Kyle made his way up the stairs to the eighth floor, making three trips up and down a hallway.

"I need a room where I can hide something." Kyle muttered to himself.

Finally stop in the middle, facing the wall opposite a tapestry.

The door to the Room of Requirement soon appeared, as if it were on the wall.

Kyle walked in and closed the door with his hand.

There was silence all around, and he stood in a room the size of an auditorium, where the objects hidden by the previous Hogwarts students were piled up to form a high wall.

Underneath were crumbling pieces of broken furniture stacked together, and thousands of books.

However, these books are basically worthless, and some of the forbidden books are also dangerous, and once opened, they may suffer from some kind of evil curse, which already belongs to the category of black magic items.

Of course, there are certainly useful books, but Kyle doesn't have the time, and he doesn't bother to discern them one by one, and there is no need to waste time here because there are enough for him to read in the library.

Further down were the winged slingshots and the wolf's tooth saucer, several of which were still hovering feebly...... Some of the broken bottles contained potions that had already solidified...... And clothes and hats...... Opal...... Eggshell...... Rusty Iron Sword......

Kyle walks in these by garbage...... Or in an alley of treasures, a specimen of a troll was soon found.

The trolls, who are more than ten feet tall, are quite conspicuous even in this treasure pile.

"It should be around here." Kyle looked around, following the passage directly in front of the troll, and finally stopped in front of a pile of ugly statues.

These statues are all of the same style, each uglier than the other, and compared to them, Old Tom of the Leaky Cauldron can be called handsome.

Among the several long house-elf-like statues of wizards, there was one of the most special, though not the ugliest, but with a crown of rusty dark colors hanging diagonally on its head.

Ravenclaw's Tiara.

Kyle took a deep breath.

He had been here once when he was in first grade, but at that time he had just glanced at it from a distance and left, not approaching it at all.

According to Kyle's original idea, Dumbledore could just find a reason to throw it at him when he started looking for Voldemort's Horcruxes.

It wasn't until June that he suddenly changed his mind.

Mainly because of Rowena Ravenclaw.

When she was in the secret room, the founder could be said to be the most precious of the four, and she was usually talking to the other three, and she was watching from the side.

The only thing she did was that she reminded herself to practice Occlumency, and she mentioned the crown at the end.

If Kyle remembers correctly, her exact words were that she would not really learn Occlumency until she could wear the crown without being affected.

This didn't sound strange at the time.

After all, strictly speaking, increasing wisdom is also another form of magic invasion, and it naturally belongs to the business scope of Occlumency.

But the other day, after seeing the sorting hat in the principal's office, Kyle suddenly felt that something was wrong.

A sword is so well protected, what if it is replaced with a crown that increases wisdom......

All other factors aside, even if the crown had not been stolen by her daughter Helena, nor had it been made into a Horcrux, she had remained in the school...... But such an important thing, is it that one of his students can use it?

And, if you were to use the crown to practice Occlumency, as Ravenclaw said, it would certainly not be used only once or twice, but often.

It's simply not possible.

Give the Ravenclaw crown to a student to practice Occlumency?

Unless Rowena Ravenclaw herself came to visit, probably no headmaster would agree to such an outrageous request.

Dumbledore might, but only him......

Ravenclaw couldn't have guessed the character of the Headmaster of Hogwarts a thousand years later.

In addition, there are so many ways to practice and detect Occlumency...... Chaos Curse...... Even if you find a charm baby, why do you want to use a crown, is this standard too high?

It's as if you're going to practice boxing, but someone just puts out a 10-centimeter-thick steel plate and says when you hit it through it, it's considered a success......

That's fine, but is it really necessary?

With Rowena Ravenclaw's wisdom, it should have been impossible not to think of this, but she said it anyway

Could there be anything else in this......

After a few days of hesitation, Kyle decided to come over, whether he thought too much about it or not, and at least take the crown away first.

With his current Occlumency, he should be able to withstand the effects of the Horcruxes.

Probably......

Kyle puts on his anti-spell gloves and carefully picks up the crown.

There was no curse, and there was no trace of spiritual magic, but after being made into a Horcrux, the crown also lost its original luster and became rusty and dark.

If you put it in the thrift store in Diagon Alley, I'm afraid that no one will buy it for a west.

But when Kyle looked closely, he could barely make out the tiny words engraved on it: Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind.

Kyle took off the spell glove again and held it directly in his hand, still not responding.

It seems that they are all Horcruxes as well, and there are some differences between the crown and the diary, at least it's not that active.

Kyle pulls out the box he had prepared and puts the tiara inside.

This box was given to him by Nicolamet, and last year it was used to hold a diary, and this year it is a tiara, which can be regarded as a professional counterpart.
