The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 560
The roar of the giant dragon echoed between the stone walls, and was amplified many times, shaking people's brains as if they were vibrating.The sound of sharp claws rubbing against the ground was even harsher and disturbing.

Compared with the huge dragon, Ada looks so small, but she has no fear on her face, and she is very confident in herself.No matter how scary the dragon is, can it be as scary as Dumbledore?
Ada pointed her wand obliquely at the sky, and the fluorescent spell pierced the darkness like a flare, and the underground space was instantly bright as day.It just so happened that the dragon turned its head to Ada, so that she could clearly see the terrible scars on the fire dragon's face.

Presumably it was the scar left by the person who trained the dragon. It is this kind of deep pain that can make the dragon feel afraid, and make this powerful creature humble, and feel pain when he hears the sound of the jingle.

With the illumination of the fluorescent spell, the magic wand is like an arm, and the eye disease spell is like an arrow that leaves the string, piercing the dragon's pink eyes.

The scale armor all over the body makes the fire dragon have extremely high magic resistance, and many spells cannot harm the fire dragon. The eyes are the most vulnerable part of the fire dragon.

The severe pain caused by the eye disease spell made the fire dragon very painful, its roar became hoarse, the huge spiked wings on both sides of its body tightened even more, and its ugly head shook helplessly.

Without using the spiral take-off method of stepping on the left foot and the right foot, Ada can still float in mid-air. She swung her wand like a whip, and a flaming rope whip as thick as a child's arm appeared out of thin air, lashing the dragon's scar one after another.

I don't know if it's because the flame whip is too painful, or if this method reminds the dragon of a terrible dragon trainer, the dragon that was ferocious not long ago suddenly became much more obedient.The two hind legs with heavy shackles kept moving backwards, the dragon was moving away from Ida, it didn't want to eat the whip anymore.

The dragon flinched, but Ida didn't stop there.She knew that her current appearance looked cruel, but she had to teach the dragon a profound lesson so that the dragon would not dare to jump out again, and she was responsible for the safety of herself and the twins.

The roar became lower and lower, and the giant dragon backed away tremblingly, and even lowered its huge body, in order to reduce its sense of existence and let the terrifying humans hanging in mid-air let it go.

Forgiveness and forgiveness, the situation of this giant dragon is already bleak enough, and Ada will not do anything after forcing it back.

Perhaps death is a relief for the dragon, but once the dragon dies abnormally, the fact that someone broke into Gringotts will inevitably be exposed, so she can't do this.

Seeing the dragon huddled in the corner, the twins rushed over with Cosmo in hand, and the two brothers ran straight to a vault.Fred and George grill the goblin while Ida frightens off the dragon.

With years of tacit understanding, the twins figured out what Ida said last night, and knew that she sneaked into Gringotts for Lestrange's vault.Reluctantly, Cosmo put his hand on the vault door, and the vault door disappeared, revealing a hole.

The three people standing at the door looked inside, and the cave was stuffed from floor to ceiling with gold coins and goblets, silver armor, and the furs of all kinds of exotic animals with spines or wings, packed in vases potion, and a skull still wearing its crown.

"What are we looking for?" George asked, "There are too many things in here." The treasures in Lestrange's treasury were piled up like a mountain. George swore that he had never seen so many treasures in his life. Never heard of it.

"I don't know." Ada said with some embarrassment. The plan to enter Gringotts was her temporary idea, and she just wanted to come here for a try.As for what Voldemort gave Bellatrix, she didn't know, and she couldn't even confirm whether it was a Horcrux.

"Maybe it's a cup, maybe it's a locket. Maybe it's something else," Ada continued uncertainly.

Based on the known information, it is speculated that Hufflepuff's gold cup and Slytherin's locket probably fell into the hands of Voldemort, and there is a high probability that they were made into Horcruxes by this prodigal gadget.But it cannot be ruled out that Voldemort gave Bellatrix something else.

"Then look for it!" George encouraged everyone, "If you are lucky, the cup you picked up at random may be what you are looking for." There is another possibility that George did not say, that is to find less than.

The three of them walked into the vault together, and the mountains of treasure exuded a seductive luster. Fred and George's eyes looked at this for a while, and that for a while. The collection of the Lestrange family was an eye-opener for the two brothers. .

As for Cosmo, Fred threw him near the entrance of the cave, and Fred was worried about leaving him outside the cave alone.

Although the treasures in the cave were massive, Ada was not shocked. She took out her glasses from her pocket, wiped the gold-rimmed glasses, put them on, and started looking for what she wanted to find.

Fred picked up a cup from a pile of gold. The cup was inlaid with gemstones of various colors, and the words "wealthy and powerful" were vividly displayed.Before Fred could take a closer look, a burning sensation came from his fingertips, and he immediately let go of the pain, and the wine glass rolled away.

"Hot!" said Fred, sucking on his blistered fingers.

The discarded wine glass continued to split and turned into many identical wine glasses. After a while, Fred couldn't tell which one was the one that scalded him.

"Fire Curse and Copy Curse." Cosmo said helplessly, "If you can't find what you want as soon as possible, you and I will die here."

Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope. If the treasures in the cave continue to be copied, no one will think well.

Gold is a good thing, but no one wants to be buried alive or scalded to death by gold. For the sake of his own life, Cosmo had to remind him.

Just as Cosmo spoke, George also picked up a gold locket, and he also got a big blister from the heat.

As the golden locket falls, more lockets appear.The temperature of the vault rose suddenly, becoming stuffy, and there was a faint sense of suffocation.The twins didn't dare to touch anything at will, so they could only search with their eyes, but the higher and higher temperature made people become irritable, the twins' brows were all wrinkled, and their mentality became more and more urgent.

Ada, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, walked carefully, not daring to touch the hot gold.When Ada looked over the shield and goblin helmet, she suddenly saw a different light!

Ada looked up, and at the top of the vault she saw a small gold cup.

That's what I'm looking for!This feeling surged in Ada's heart, and it was very strong.

Ada aimed her wand at the cup, but the Flying Charm didn't make the cup fly towards her.Whether it was Helga Hufflepuff or Tom Riddle, the Flying Charm was too childish for them, how could such a simple spell work.

Fortunately, besides the flying spell, Ada has other methods.From the tip of the wand of yew spouted a streamer, which flowed like a snake through the stem of the golden cup and was tied in a knot.

As soon as she exerted force, Ada directly pulled the golden cup down from the height, and the golden cup was pulled to her feet.Ada didn't hold it in her hand immediately, but leaned over to check the cup at her feet.

This cup looks to be pure gold, the handle of the cup is very finely processed, and the badger that symbolizes Hufflepuff is carved on the cup.Apparently it was Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, one of two treasures lost after Hepzibah Smith's death.

The twins also came closer, and George picked up the gold cup with his sleeve-wrapped hands to prevent further burns.

There was no burning sensation, and it was obvious that Hufflepuff's cup had not been cast with the Copying or Fire Curse, but the irritability in George's heart did not disappear, but became more intense.

Negative emotions such as bloodthirsty, rage, and anxiety appeared in George's heart in turn.

Ada snapped her fingers in George's ear, and George's eyes, which had become a little muddled, regained a little clarity, and his negative emotions eased a bit.

"That's it, we should go," Ada said, taking the gold cup from George's hand.

Fred, who noticed the abnormality, decisively pulled George out, and Ada also used magic power to lead Cosmo out of the vault.After everyone left the vault, the disappearing vault door reappeared, cutting off the alluring aura from the treasure.

The three returned with a full load and returned to the trolley, but Cosmo refused to drive away for a long time.

Ada lowered her head and said nothing, she was resisting the whisper of the devil in her ears, this voice tried to break down her inner defense, turning her into a monster who only knew how to kill.This is the influence of the Horcrux, and even Ada cannot get rid of it immediately.

"Drive!" said George fiercely, "if you don't want to be thrown by me!"

The twins used a similar tone when they joked, but it was always a joke, never taken seriously.The brief contact with the Horcruxes amplified George's violent side, making him want to kill, even though he had never tasted blood.
