Chapter 1311： news of the crown

  Chapter 1311 The news of the crown

  West Tower, Magic Office.

  Professor Flitwick, who had returned to Hogwarts ahead of schedule, was sitting in a specially raised armchair behind his desk, concentrating on reading the latest issue of "Defense Letters".

   When he turned to Godric's Hollow column, he frowned slightly when he saw the news of the death of the well-known historian Bathilda Bagshot.

  Because there is a photo attached to this article: it is a copy of "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", and there is a note written in green ink on the book.

  It was a note Rita Skeeter deliberately left for Bathilda Bagshot.

When Rita Skeeter published "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore", Professor Flitwick also paid attention to this matter. Now after seeing the content in the "Defense Letters" magazine, he Probably guessed what method the woman used.

   She should have been sent to Azkaban with those dementors.

   However, this is just a bad microcosm of the British wizarding world under the control of You-Know-Who.

  If it was normal, Rita Skeeter would never dare to do such a thing.

  Professor Flitwick looked sideways out of the window, and sighed softly: "In the future, Hogwarts will probably not be peaceful either."

   Today after Dumbledore's death, it is far worse than ten years ago.

  The situation today is completely out of control.

   At this moment, the door of the spell office was knocked from the outside.

  Professor Flitwick instinctively picked up the wand on the table and looked towards the door ahead.

   Except for a few professors who returned to school early, there were no other outsiders in the castle.

   Now someone came to find me?

  Professor Flitwick closed the "Defense Letters", tapped the magazine lightly, and said, "Who, come in!"

   "Sorry to bother you, Professor."

  Harry pushed the door open and walked into the Charms Office familiarly, followed by Hermione and Ron.

   "Potter?"

  Professor Flitwick looked at Harry Potter who appeared in front of him in amazement, completely unexpected to see him in his office at this time.

   "I heard from the wizard's watch station that you are in big trouble."

   "We did almost run into the mysterious man, but escaped after he arrived."

   "Merlin's beard!"

  Professor Flitwick couldn't help but widen his eyes, somewhat unable to understand why Harry could say those words lightly.

   "We have encountered some problems and would like to consult the professor." Harry said straight to the point.

   "You shouldn't have come." Professor Flitwick waved his wand and drew the curtains to remind him, "Hogwarts is under strict surveillance."

   "Albert brought us directly into Apparation through the house elf, so it shouldn't be noticed by the dark wizards who monitor the school." Hermione comforted.

   "House-elf? Those magical little ones are indeed immune to the prohibition of Apparation." Professor Flitwick heaved a sigh of relief, knowing how they came to Hogwarts quietly.

   "What do you want to ask?"

   "Professor, do you know where Ravenclaw's crown is?" Harry looked at the head of Ravenclaw expectantly.

   "The Diadem of Ravenclaw?"

  Professor Flitwick obviously didn't expect that Harry's risky return to Hogwarts was actually to find the legendary Ravenclaw's diadem.

   "I don't deny that a little more wisdom is really nice, but I still don't think Ravenclaw's diadem is worth the risk."

   "We are carrying out Dumbledore's mission."

Harry, Hermione, and Ron exchanged glances, and decided to reveal something to Professor Flitwick: "We are looking for Ravenclaw's crown to confirm one thing, which is related to defeating the mysterious man, not to Be wiser."

"this…"

  Professor Flitwick looked at the three of Harry in surprise, mouth shut for a long time.

Professor Flitwick knew about Harry's various rumors, and Professor McGonagall had also revealed some news to them. Several deans heard that Harry was trying to complete the task assigned by Dumbledore. They They all guessed that this task was related to defeating the mysterious man, but they didn't expect Harry to be looking for Ravenclaw's crown.

   "Professor, do you know where it is? Have you ever seen it? Or there is a similar portrait." Harry asked.

"Unfortunately, my son, Ravenclaw's diadem disappeared centuries ago!" Although Professor Flitwick didn't know what Harry was looking for for the diadem, he still got down from the raised armchair. To see what the diadem looks like, I can take you to the Ravenclaw common room, where there is a bust of Ravenclaw with the diadem on it. "

   "Ravenclaw's diadem is missing?" Harry had a bad feeling.

   "It is said that he disappeared with Ravenclaw." Professor Flitwick said what he knew without reservation.

   "Ravenclaw brought the diadem into his tomb?" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "It would be great if that was the case, at least You-Know-Who has no chance of finding it."

   "The mysterious man is looking for Ravenclaw's crown?" Professor Flitwick was very surprised by Hermione's revelation.

   "Professor, do you know who the ghosts guarding the Ravenclaw Tower are? I mean maybe the ghosts will know something useful." Harry changed the subject.

  Professor Flitwick shook his head and said: "You are not the only one who wants to try to find the crown through Ms. Gray. Many Ravenclaw students have tried to do that in the past, but they have not succeeded."

   "Who is the oldest ghost in Hogwarts?" Ron said suddenly, "Maybe, we can get some useful information from the ghosts."

   "Professor Binns of the History of Magic." Hermione reminded, "Have you forgotten? Professor Binns has been the professor of the History of Magic at Hogwarts since the school was founded."

"I'm afraid it's not easy for you to get news about the crown from Professor Binns. I suggest you ask Albert for help. Maybe he can get some useful information through divination. Did he follow you to Hogwarts?" Free Professor Wei personally took the three of them to the Ravenclaw Tower. He suspected that if the three of them went by themselves, they might not be able to answer the question of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker and enter the Ravenclaw common room smoothly.

   "Albert couldn't find Ravenclaw's diadem either," Ron muttered.

   "He went to find Professor McGonagall," said Hermione, "probably because of the expelled students."

"Thanks to his reminder, those students from Muggle families were able to escape." Professor Flitwick said softly, "At that time, Umbridge came to Hogwarts aggressively with a group of Aurors. Wanting the home addresses of the expelled students, even planning to use Veritaserum on Minerva for it."

   Hermione twitched her lips slightly, but some words were still left unsaid in the end.

   I have been busy with some things in the past two days.
