Chapter 214：

The end result is that the Ministry of Magic is temporarily skeptical about whether Voldemort is resurrected, but Ms. Burns is in charge of the Auror office of the same age, conducting investigations and prevention work within a limited range.

This result was in Ye Ting's expectation.

Although he could not completely overthrow Fudge, it was already a good breakthrough.

At least, Bones got a chance to equal Fudge.

Moreover, as Voldemort becomes active, more and more evidence will point to his return. At that time, Burns will naturally become the new Minister of Magic in one fell swoop.

And he himself, in the process of removing the Horcrux in the future, can also directly obtain official help from the Ministry of Magic. Although Ye Ting has always felt that the Auror of the Ministry of Magic is too crappy, the information that the Ministry of Magic has and their official powers. Convenience can be enough to help Ye Ting.

Today, the power struggle in the Ministry of Magic has burned to the media.

In newspapers such as "Witcher Weekly" and "Daily Prophet", the Bones faction and the Fudge faction began to quarrel. One party preached the return of Voldemort and asked everyone to be careful. Don't believe it.

The two sides sprayed each other with great joy.

Ordinary wizards are a bit at a loss. They don't know how to tell who is true and who is false. And Voldemort's affairs are not entertainment news. They can face it with the mood of watching the excitement. For a while, the entire British wizarding community is panicked. .

During this time, Ye Ting invited a few girls to start a journey to find Horcruxes.

At this moment, there were four beautiful girls sitting on the sofa in Ye Ting's home. They were staring at the only man together, and the scene was a bit awkward.

It's no wonder that the four girls are both beautiful and outstanding people, but they like the same person. The four girls under the same roof naturally make the atmosphere very strange.

It is Ye Ting who is used to seeing such scenes in the world of Song of Ice and Fire, even with Daenerys, Melisandre, Arianne and Sansa at the same time, but that is after all the medieval worldview, that group of nobles The education the ladies received was completely different from the modern education received by the four girls in front of Ye Ting.

However, even so, Ye Ting bit the bullet and introduced it.

First, he introduced Voldemort and Horcrux to the girls-mainly for Zhang Qiu and Penello-and then began to explain what they were going to do.

"The Dark Lord once mentioned that he wanted to divide the soul into seven, because seven is a powerful number," Ye Ting said, "In other words, including the soul of the Dark Lord's body, the soul is divided into seven. , Then the Dark Lord will have six Horcruxes."

"Is Harry included?" Fleur asked.

"Of course not," Ye Ting smiled. "The idiot of the Dark Lord didn't even know that Harry's soul had his soul fragments hidden in him. He even more unexpectedly, it was he who destroyed part of his soul. ."

The girls all laughed, and their fear and fear of Voldemort became weaker for a while.

Ye Ting continued.

"According to the information I have, Voldemort's Horcruxes should be the relics of the founders of Hogwarts, as well as family relics related to his bloodline-of course, there is also the one next to him called'Na Genie's snake, I think it is also very likely a Horcrux."

The girls are a little curious about Ye Ting's intelligence sources, but Ye Ting certainly can't tell them that this is from the "Harry Potter" novel.

"Although Horcruxes can be like door keys, they are common objects that are easily overlooked. But would Voldemort use old tin cans or empty medicine bottles to save his own precious soul? Voldemort likes to collect souvenirs, he likes to have powerful magic and Items of historical significance. His pride, his sense of superiority, and his determination to occupy an astonishing place in the history of magic, all of which make me think that Voldemort would carefully select his Horcruxes and prefer those worthy of this honor. thing."

"But, that diary is not that special." Hermione pointed out.

"No, the diary can prove that he is the heir to Slytherin, because it records the experience of opening the secret room when Voldemort was a student. I believe Voldemort thinks it is significant."

"As for other Horcruxes, I can only guess." Ye Ting continued, "For the reasons already stated, I believe Voldemort will prefer his own noble items. And the four Hogwarts who can prove this the most. The founder’s relic—after all, Voldemort was influenced by the thoughts of the four founders throughout his life, especially his heir to self-proclaimed Slytherin, who wanted to deny the views of the other three founders."

So the discussion began to revolve around the relics of the founders of Hogwarts.

Item 0299

In fact, although the relics of the founder of Hogwarts are mysterious, they are mentioned in some Hogwarts collections.

According to legend, the four founders passed down four magical relics.

These relics are magic items with special effects. Mentioning these, Penello, Zhang Qiu, and Hermione immediately remembered the books they had read and some rumors they had learned.

Now, Furong seemed confused.

"I remember that the Sorting Hat used to be Godric Gryffindor's hat," Hermione exclaimed. "In addition, Gryffindor's sword and Hufflepuff's cup are also the relics of the founder."

"You're right," Ye Ting smiled, "but the sorting hat is not one of the four relics, and it has been placed in Hogwarts. Gryffindor's sword is Gryffindor's relic. , But I have seen it in Dumbledore’s headmaster’s room, so none of them can be Horcruxes. After all, Horcruxes have evil powers. That diary is an example."

"That's right, Voldemort's Horcrux will definitely not be something we can simply see-otherwise it would have been discovered long ago." Hermione curled her lips.

"So... what about the relics of Slytherin and Ravenclaw?" Zhang Qiu asked, "We don't know what the relics of these two founders are."

"Actually... we can ask Ms. Grey." Penello suggested suddenly. "Ms. Grey is the daughter of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw. She probably knows what Ms. Ravenclaw has. "

"The Dark Lord himself claims to be a descendant of Slytherin," Fleur also offered his own opinion. "If what he said is true, then Slytherin's relic is likely to be his family heirloom or something."

"It makes sense. In this case, Ravenclaw's relics can be considered after school starts, and Slytherin's relics can be seen at the home of the Dark Lord. I remember Voldemort's mother named Merope Gunter, she They are descendants of the Gunter family, and the Gunter family is the only descendant of Slytherin." Ye Ting concluded.

"In other words, maybe the Dark Lord has two, maybe found the relics of the three founders." Hermione said, shaking her fingers, "but even if he got something from Ravenclaw or Slytherin, plus On the diary, Harry himself, and the logo of the Dark Lord family, there is still the seventh Horcrux left. Do you think it will be that snake? Can animals be used as Horcruxes?"

"Not very desirable," Ye Ting analyzed, "because it is very risky to entrust a part of your soul to an active and thinking thing. However, if my estimation is correct, the Dark Lord was trying to kill Harry. At Potter's time, at least one Horcrux was missing, and he had not yet reached his goal of six."

"You mentioned that the Dark Lord is using murder to make Horcruxes," Penello was puzzled. "But we all know that he failed."

"Yes, but after a few years, he used Nagini to kill an old Muggle man. Maybe he thought of turning this snake into his last Horcrux at that time. It can highlight Slater. Lin’s family background adds to his mystery. I think this may be his favorite thing. He undoubtedly likes to take it with him, and seems to have an extraordinary power to dominate it, even in a snake-like voice. rare."

"Then, the diary is ruined, and Harry is no longer a'horcrux', the snake and Ravenclaw's relics are temporarily unavailable, that is to say, there are still three Horcruxes to be found." Asked, "Then... shall we look for them? Ting? Are we going to do this this holiday?"

"Yes," Ye Ting nodded, then looked at the girls, "Are you willing to come together?"

"Of course." The girls agreed without thinking.

As a division of labor, Zhang Qiu and Penello are responsible for inquiring about the whereabouts of Hufflepuff's golden cup through the Ministry of Magic and other methods.

Through the alchemy shop, Penello actually already had his own contacts, and Ye Ting introduced Ms. Bones to her, it was not as difficult as imagined to find the whereabouts of the gold cup.

And Hermione and Furong went with Ye Ting to explore the first destination, the old house of the Gunter family.

Early the next morning, Ye Ting brought the two girls to the Ministry of Magic early.

They came to the second floor, the Magic Law Enforcement Department.

In the director's office, Ms. Bones has been waiting for them for a long time.

"You are here, Mr. Ye, oh, and Miss Granger and Miss Delacour." Burns greeted them, then waved.

Beside her, a wizard stood up. This was a short and chubby man. He was wearing a pair of glasses with very thick lenses. His eyes were reduced to two points, like the eyes of a mole. Same.

He was like the inexperienced wizards who wanted to dress like Muggles. He wore an eccentric outfit: a striped swimsuit with a tuxedo over the top and shoe covers on his feet.

He nodded to Ye Ting, with jealousy and fear in his eyes.

"He is Felwood, an Auror." Burns introduced, "Although I don't know what you are going to investigate, he will be responsible for taking you to the Gunter House."

Under Felwood's leadership, through Apparition, Ye Ting showed up on a country road with the girls.

On both sides are tall, tangled bushes and hedges, and above the head is the summer sky, as clear and blue as forget-me-not flowers.
