Chapter 676

In fact, since Hermione took Harry and others to the responsive room that day, knowing the Horcrux, they soon recalled the secret room and the snake monster attack in grade 2.

In the secret room, they saw Tom Riddle with their own eyes - from the diary with black cover.

Therefore, they made full preparations for breaking into Slytherin's secret room again during the holiday. Because there was no evidence of the Basilisk's death in second grade, they naturally thought that the Basilisk might still exist in the secret room.

Because of this, the three little lions and Luna, the little eagle, specially stepped up their practice. It includes the eye disease curse that is said to be effective for the snake monster, the existence curse that can barely grasp its movement with eyes closed, and the magic medicine to resist fossilization

Even Hermione bought two big cocks to deal with the weakness of the basilisk.

Of course, this is only because it is mentioned in the book that the sound of cock can drive away snake monsters. But whether this is a really effective method is unknown.

Unfortunately, although they made a series of preparations to deal with the "possible" snake monster. But when I got there, I found that the snake monster had already disappeared, leaving only a mountain of rubble.

Of course, Tom Riddle's diary was not found. Harry and they were somewhat puzzled about this, but Hermione thought that the diary might have been taken away by Marca.

As for the secret room in the secret room that Marka found when she went back to explore for the second time, he had already sealed it off. Hermione and other people didn't notice it.

"... I heard a story from Ms. gray. Do you... Want to hear it?"

In the front garden of Hogwarts, when the three little lions were worried about no other clues, Luna, who was always standing still, suddenly spoke.

"Ms. gray? Oh... It's the ghost beauty from Ravenclaw college?" Ron scratched his head. "Although I really want to hear it, now... Doesn't seem to be the time to listen to the story?"

We are getting used to Luna's confused words. Ron naturally thought Luna's mind had deviated again, even Harry thought so. Only Hermione paid a little attention.

"What's the story? Is it related to Horcruxes?" Hermione asked in the principle of never letting go of all possible clues.

"Oh, I don't know... Maybe?" Luna said vaguely, as if she had entered her unique mode of trance. "At least it has something to do with Tom Riddle... That's where he cheated Ms. gray of the Ravenclaw crown..."

……

Ms. gray... Helena Ravenclaw, a dignified and beautiful woman. After his death, he turned into a ghost, but he can still be called a beauty. It is natural to imagine his appearance before his death.

It's just that the female ghost of Ravenclaw college is beautiful, but she always has a domineering posture, which makes people feel difficult to get close.

If Maka had not gone to her and tried to say hello in advance, Luna's temperament would not have intersected with this thorny rose.

In general, however, Ms. gray has taken care of Luna since she entered school. For example, when Luna is not familiar with the castle, she can follow her fingers, and for example, she can chat occasionally. Over time, the ghost of the living man gradually made friends.

Because of some past events, Ms. gray doesn't like those people who put on airs, and what she can't stand most is cheating. However, Luna is a very pure girl, which is very appetizing to her.

So, one day after Voldemort was destroyed by Marca, Ms. gray seemed to have some feelings about the old things. And Luna became her target.

"You know what? The man who died there the other day once stole something from me."

That day, in front of a window in Ravenclaw tower, Ms. Gray said so faintly. In her translucent eyes, there was a slight flicker of complex light, as if she had fallen into some embarrassing memories.

"It's wrong to steal," said Luna, glancing at the ghost floating by the window.

Although Luna's sentence is simple and empty, it seems to have an unimaginable heaviness for Ms. gray. The other party also looked at Luna, but soon looked away.

"Yes! It's wrong to steal..." Ms. gray repeated this sentence softly, with deep meaning. "Maybe it's because I stole something first, and then I will be punished again and again?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help sighing gently.

"Do you know?" she said, "what the man stole was my trust in him... He stole my trust in a despicable way..."

Luna didn't speak this time. She just stood aside as usual and quietly became a listener. Sure enough, Ms. gray continued to talk without waiting for her to say anything.

"That man, Tom Riddle..." she said, "he flattered me with sweet words. He praised my beauty and wisdom. He said I was no worse than my mother. Then... When I liked him, he asked me where my mother made the crown. He also said that he was willing to help me find it and give it to me again..."

"But... But..." speaking of this, Ms. Gray was extremely disappointed. "He lied to me after all - he clearly found the golden crown, but he didn't give it to me, and lied that he didn't find it at all."

"I know he must have found it, because no one knows where the golden crown is except me. It must still be there..."

Just then, Ms. gray shook her head slowly again. Her eyes looking out of the window were full of weakness.

"But what can I do with him?" she continued. "I'm just a ghost, and he had graduated at that time. That day he returned to Hogwarts to apply for the professorship of defense against the Dark Arts... Then he left alone without applying..."

……

"... Ravenclaw's golden crown."

Hermione obviously knew what the crown mentioned in Luna's story was. But after seeing her meditate for a while, she frowned and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind," Luna sang in a light tone. "Ravenclaw's golden crown can enhance the wearer's wisdom."

"But I didn't expect that Ms. Gray was the daughter of royna Ravenclaw..." Ron's concern was obviously a little biased elsewhere.

"So there seems to be a clue... But is it broken here?" Harry said reluctantly. "Voldemort may make the golden crown into his Horcruxes and hide it somewhere... After all, how many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?"

"Who knows?" said Hermione. "But at least, I'm sure I won't do one - it's obviously too unsafe for him! You think we ran into that diary so easily..."

Hermione's analysis naturally has some truth. But they did not know that the reason why the diary appeared under their eyes was actually the "credit" of Lucius Malfoy.

While they were still thinking about the number of Horcruxes, Ron suddenly spoke again.

"In fact," he hesitated, "I'm more curious about Ms. gray... Luna, as you mentioned just now, she said she stole something, didn't she? That's why she was punished..."

"Well," Luna quickly nodded, "she stole her mother's gold crown and hid it in the mountains of Albania... She said it should be the hole of a big tree."

At this point, Luna became interested and whispered in a serious way: "later, in order to find her daughter, royna Ravenclaw sent barrow who deeply loved Ms. gray to find... Do you know who barrow is? In fact, he is the bloody barrow of Slytherin!"

"Oh, that's another amazing news!" Ron said gossip on his face. "So? What happened later? There should be some other stories... Don't tell me there's no more below..."

"Later," Luna said mysteriously, "barrow stabbed Ms. gray to death because she didn't want to go back to Hogwarts with him!"

"This..."

As no one expected that Ms. gray should die like this, all three seemed quite shocked. But Luna didn't stop for long, and then she went on

"... but after Ms. Gray's death, barrow was very remorseful, so he committed suicide on the spot," she said. "So barrow became a blood man barrow - his blood was not only his own, but also Ms. gray's."

"Blood man barrow is so grumpy that it's not surprising that this will happen..." Harry nodded. "But put these stories aside first! What we need to know now is where Voldemort hid the golden crown?"

As Harry said before, he finally got an unexpected clue from Luna, but here, the clue broke again.

Two items that may be Horcruxes in a row can only be traced to the way. This feeling is undoubtedly oppressive. But the world is so big that wizards can run around the world with phantom developing spells at any time. It's more difficult to find something deliberately hidden than looking for a needle in a haystack.

After that, time passed day by day. Unconsciously, the international alchemy competition was close at hand.
