Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 139 Another Horcrux and speculation

"This is-" Dumbledore's light blue eyes stared at the thing on the desk. It was a sparkling crown inlaid with gems, which looked particularly charming.

"If I guess correctly, it should be the crown left by Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the founders of Hogwarts." Eisen nodded and gave this answer.

"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind -" Dumbledore touched the crown with his finger and said this very famous sentence, "A crown that can increase the wisdom of the person wearing it is really incredible. !”

"Ms. Rowena's level of magic is truly unmatched!" Eisen also sighed.

"What a pity -" After a moment, Dumbledore calmed down and sat on the chair behind his desk, showing a regretful expression.

"Yeah, it's a pity that the diadem of Ravenclaw was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort." Eisen took over Dumbledore's words and continued, "It has lost its original effectiveness!"

"Another Horcrux -" Dumbledore's eyes seemed to be in a trance, and then he looked at Eisen blankly, "Eisen, can you tell me how you found it? I mean, it has been lost for a long time. Got it!"

"Professor Dumbledore, remember that when you had a premonition that you were about to leave Hogwarts, you told me to protect Harry!" Eisen pondered for a moment, and then slowly talked about his reasons.

"Yes, then-" Dumbledore nodded and motioned for Eisen to continue.

"At that time, I thought that instead of taking care of them all the time, it would be better to teach them some practical spells." Eisen said slowly, with a very calm tone, "It happened that Lockhart opened a duel club in the school at that time, so I took the opportunity to form a dueling team with practical training qualities to train Harry, Hermione and Ron.

However, when I was looking for a venue for the duel group, I ran into a problem!But luckily, I discovered a hidden room in Hogwarts by accident!It is an amazing room that can be expanded according to the needs of the user! "

"Hidden room?" Dumbledore looked confused.

"That's right, it's right opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor where the giant monster beat Barnabas silly. As long as you walk back and forth there three times and meditate on the desired place, a room will appear there!" Eisen's tone was not clear. ups and downs.

"I know there is a room there, and the Mirror of Erised was moved from that room, but you said it will expand according to the needs of the user?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something.

"That's right, when I needed a place to practice magic spells, that room perfectly met my needs. That's where I trained Harry and the others." Eisen said calmly, but his tone was After a pause, "Yesterday, I wanted to explore the secret of that room, so I tried to find a place to hide things, and I found Ravenclaw's diadem inside!"

"So that's it -" Dumbledore nodded, showing a look of surprise, "That room is indeed a good place to hide things. I think Tom must have thought that no one could find that room, so he made it The Horcrux is hidden inside."

"Yes!" Eisen agreed with Dumbledore.

"However, the diadem of Ravenclaw was made into a Horcrux by Tom, which means-" Dumbledore said, his tone becoming serious.

"It means that the other three special objects in Hogwarts school like Ravenclaw's crown are likely to be made into Horcruxes by Voldemort!" Eisen directly named this conclusion.

"You mean-" Dumbledore looked at Eisen.

"Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's gold cup and Gryffindor's sword." Eisen nodded.

"No, Gryffindor's sword can only be taken out when a real Gryffindor needs it!" Dumbledore was silent for a moment, glanced at the Sorting Hat on the shelf and shook his head.

"If I guess correctly, Professor Dumbledore, you are from Gryffindor House." Eisen raised his eyebrows slightly, then glanced at the Sorting Hat, "Maybe you can take out the Gryffindor Sword and check it. !”

Dumbledore glanced at Eisen and said nothing. He stood up and walked to the shelf. He picked up the Sorting Hat and put his hand in to fumble for something inside.After a moment, Dumbledore took out a sword with a ruby ​​inlaid on the hilt and Godric Gryffindor engraved on the sword.

"Obviously, the Sword of Gryffindor is still intact. It was not made into a Horcrux by Tom." After feeling the sword for a while, Dumbledore said to Eisen, and then placed the Sword of Gryffindor on the on the shelf next to the Sorting Hat.

"Maybe Voldemort has thought this before, but he just didn't have the chance to get the Sword of Gryffindor!" Nodding, Eisen's tone was very calm.

"What you said makes sense. This means that in addition to Ravenclaw's diadem, Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's golden cup are most likely to have been made into Horcruxes by Tom." Dumbledore sat down again, his expression much more solemn. After a moment, he sighed, took off his glasses and wiped them with a small piece of velvet.

After pondering for a moment, Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something, and said with a sudden look: "This conclusion just verifies the information I obtained from Hao Qi."

"Hao Qi?" This seemed to be the name of a house elf. Eisen thought about it and showed his intention to ask.Fortunately, although Eisen is not proficient in memory magic, he can still dig out forgotten memories from the depths of his mind.

"Yes, a poor house elf." Dumbledore put on his glasses again, "More than 50 years ago, when Tom was still working as a clerk in Borgin Burke's store, he visited a very rich witch - Hepzibah. · Smith, the owner of the house elf Hao Qi.

But two days later, Hepzibah Smith died suddenly.In this regard, the Ministry of Magic determined that the house elf Haoqi mistakenly put poison in her evening drink of cocoa tea. "

"I think this is definitely not the truth of the matter?" Although Eisen used the questioning method, his tone was quite certain.

"Yes, I think it was Tom who tampered with Hao Qi's memory, making her admit that she mistakenly put some fatal poison in the hostess's cocoa tea." Dumbledore nodded and continued, "The Ministry of Magic itself She tended to suspect Hao Qi, so after the old Hao Qi admitted that she had put something in her drink, the Ministry of Magic stopped investigating and locked her up in Azkaban.

When I got these memories from Hao Qi, Hao Qi had almost reached the end of her life, and she died in Azkaban not long after.

At that time, the Hepzibah family discovered that two of Hepzibah Smith's most valuable treasures - Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's gold cup - were missing.

It took them a long time to find out because she had so many secret treasure locations.And, unfortunately, Tom Riddle had resigned from Borgin-Bock just before that time and disappeared. "

"This means that Voldemort does know Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's gold cup. Moreover, when these two valuable treasures were lost, Voldemort also disappeared, which basically means that Voldemort stole them Kill them!" Eisen concluded.

"That's right, when I saw you placing the Ravenclaw's diadem that was made into a Horcrux in front of me, I only thought of these possibilities." Dumbledore showed a little joy on his face.

"In this case, together with the diary, Gaunt's ring and Ravenclaw's diadem, plus Hufflepuff's gold cup and Slytherin's locket, there are five Horcruxes." Eisen The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Also, Harry Potter -" Dumbledore's mood became obviously lowered when he mentioned Harry.

"I don't think Voldemort knew that he accidentally made Harry a Horcrux!" Eisen pointed out this point.

"You mean, Tom also made another Horcrux?" Dumbledore frowned slightly.

"Yes, maybe Voldemort also made another Horcrux. However, it is also possible that before Voldemort had time to make the last Horcrux, his body was destroyed by the rebounding death curse." Eisen raised another possibility.

In fact, this is basically the truth.As for Nagini, the last Horcrux made by Voldemort, it will not be made until he is resurrected again.
