The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 606 Crown
There was no fog, and there was no bursting wind and thunder. Everything in the forest was peaceful, and Ada was the only one who was not calm.

Ada, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, seemed to have traveled through time, and the scene under the hollow tree many years ago was being played out before her eyes.

In 1993, Ada found the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in the girls' bathroom and found Slytherin's real Chamber of Secrets.At that time, Ada saw Salazar Slytherin from thousands of years ago, and the basilisk who was still a baby snake.

Then, Ada sat in Salazar Slytherin's chair; now, Ada kicked the hollow tree.Both times she wore gold-rimmed glasses, and both times she had hallucinations.

In the vision, a woman is walking towards the hollow tree with something in her hands.

This woman is extremely beautiful, even if her face is tired and dusty, she can't hide her beauty.

When she approached, Ada realized that the woman was holding an exquisite box, and her appearance made Ada feel familiar.

The long journey made the woman feel a little tired, so she sat under the hollow tree.The woman opened the exquisite box, and a crown lay quietly inside. She wanted to take out the crown and put it on her head.

However, the hurried footsteps in the forest made the woman give up this practice, and she hurriedly put the crown back into the box, and then put the box in along the tree hole of the hollow tree.

The one who caught up was a man who shouted "Helena" as he ran.

Ada, who was on the sidelines, was a little confused. Isn't the woman in the phantom Ms. Gray, just that proud Ravenclaw ghost!Every Hogwarts student knows that Ravenclaw has a ghost named Lady Gray.

What the hell is Helena!It can't be Helena Ravenclaw!

Lady Gray, Ravenclaw's resident ghost, is believed by many students to be Jane Grey, Queen of the Thirteenth Tudor dynasty.

Jane Gray was a royal dame, King Edward VI was her first cousin, and she had two more famous cousins ​​- Mary I and Elizabeth I.

When Edward VI died, he was unwilling to let his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth succeed him, so the throne fell to Jane Gray.But the good times didn't last long, and Jane Gray was soon deposed by the Parliament and imprisoned in the Tower of London.About half a year later, Jane Gray was secretly executed by Queen Mary I, and her body was buried under the floor of the Tower of London at the age of 16.

Ada also thought so before, there is a portrait of Henry VIII Queen Anne Boleyn in the castle, and it is normal to have another ghost of England's first queen.

But now it seems that Ms. Gray of Ravenclaw is not the queen. Her name is Helena, and her surname may be Ravenclaw.Besides, considering Jane Gray's distinguished status and short life, it is unlikely that she will travel all the way to Albania.

The beautiful woman named Helena who seemed to be a Ravenclaw hurriedly hid the box, and turned around to occupy the hollow of the hollow tree.When she finished this set, the man who eagerly called her name also ran up to her.

Ada was surprised again——

Isn't this the bloody Baron of Slytherin? Why did this big brother come to Albania!Is this place so popular with British wizards? One or two are all running here!
The Bloody Baron was a frightening-looking ghost, with empty eyes, a thin face, and silvery blood stains on his robes.Just because he can subdue Peeves, Barrow has the capital to be scary.

Since Ada entered school, the number of times he heard the bloody Barrow talking was one of the few. He always stared at one place with empty eyes.It can be called a model of people who don't talk too much, and a good brother of Slytherin.He is still a good big brother who doesn't smoke Huazi.

It is rumored that because he failed to pursue Ravenclaw's daughter Helena, he killed Helena in anger. Later, he was too sad and guilty, so he went with Helena.

Now it seems that that is not quite the case.

Everyone said that Helena ran away with someone, but no one mentioned that she also took Ravenclaw's crown as a dowry!
When Ada came to his senses, Barrow had already quarreled with Helena, the quarrel was fierce, and sparks flew everywhere.

One said "Don't make trouble, go back with me", and the other said "No, I won't go back".

One said again, "Hurry up and come back with me, you are in a daze", and the other said "I don't, I won't".

Two people who lived thousands of years ago were arguing in front of Ada, a kid who will be a thousand years later in the hallucination.From the quarrel between the two, Ada gradually understood the truth of the year.

Helena is the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, who fled with the crown in order to be wiser and more famous than her mother.According to legend, the crown of Ravenclaw can make the wearer more intelligent.

Later, Ravenclaw was seriously ill and wanted to see his daughter again, so he sent Baron to find Helena and bring her back.

Barrow is the best candidate. He has always loved Helena deeply, and he will definitely bring his lover back, and he will not hurt Helena because of the crown.

Bloody Barrow lived up to Ravenclaw's trust. He did find Helena hiding in Albania, but he failed to bring Helena back to Hogwarts.

Rowena Ravenclaw didn't see her daughter until her death, and when people sorted out her belongings, they discovered that her diadem was missing.During her lifetime, she concealed the disappearance of the crown and Helena's betrayal.

The phantom in front of me was coming to an end, and the words were not speculative, Baro and Helena stopped arguing, and neither of them spoke.However, the silence at this moment is far more terrifying than the quarrel just now.

Helena's towering chest rose and fell, and it could be seen that she was calming down her emotions, and her eyes were not as determined as before.

Barrow stood behind Helena, panting heavily, his eyes trembling.It seems that Helena just refused to go back to Hogwarts with him, which touched his heart, and reminded Barrow of his failed attempts to show love in the past.

"Helena..." Barrow called his lover's name softly.

Helena who was called by her name turned around, what was waiting for her was not Baro's persuasion again, but a sharp knife!
Blood gushed out, and the snow-white chest was instantly dyed red by the blood, followed by her robe, cloak, the ground under her, and the hollow tree that hadn't died yet.

The scarlet blood was so dazzling that Baro, who was holding a sharp knife, finally came to his senses. He hugged his lover's uncold body and wept bitterly.

Sadness, guilt, pain, these emotions replaced the anger in Barrow's heart, and he once again raised the knife that stabbed Helena to death.Only this time, the blade was aimed at himself.

The illusion dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and Ada leaned against the hollow tree, smoothing her thoughts.

Voldemort's purpose in coming to Albania was for the crown, Ravenclaw's crown.Probably not long after he left Hogwarts, before he started working at the Borgin-Bock store.

Years later, when Voldemort needs a place to concentrate on studying black magic and spend a long ten years undisturbed, is there a better place than this black forest away from the eyes of the world?
As for how Voldemort knew the whereabouts of the "missing crown", can anyone tell him besides Helena?Before that, only Ravenclaw's ghost "Ms. Gray" knew that the diadem was hidden in Albania.

Voldemort at that time was definitely not what he looks like now. He should still be a handsome and handsome boy, the handsome boy who fascinated Hepzibah Smith.

At that time, Voldemort was definitely not relying on torture and interrogation. He was also good at using the charm of language. He was able to trick the professors in the school and recruited the original Death Eaters for himself.

Ada took off her glasses, rubbed her sore eyes, and looked at the place where Helena was stabbed to death.The scarlet blood is gone, but the sad story has been recorded.

Helena is a poor person. The aura of her mother Rowena Ravenclaw put too much pressure on her, which made her go astray and make a big mistake, stealing the crown that did not belong to her.

You have to swallow the bitter fruit you have caused, as did Helena Ravenclaw, and so did Ada.

Helena won Ada's sympathy, but she had no feeling for Barrow who committed suicide, and she felt a little disgusted, even though Barrow, who became a ghost, had been shackled and repented.
