Chapter 296 Dumbledore: I Feel Uncomfortable And Want To Regret It!
Hearing this strange request, Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, and the half-moon-shaped lenses reflected the light, making it difficult to see his emotions and anger.
He was thinking about Wayne's purpose in doing this.
To explore the secret of Horcruxes?
This was immediately ruled out by Dumbledore.
Wayne has expressed his contempt and disdain for this method of immortality many times. He really doesn't like it at all and has no need to do so.
Moreover, even if Wayne has other ideas about Horcruxes and wants to master the method of making Horcruxes,
Then why would you tell him so frankly?
It could have been treated as neglect and kept him in the dark.
Moreover, this condition is the destroyed Horcrux... In other words, what he wants is not the Horcrux itself, but the items made into Horcruxes?
Dumbledore lowered his head, looked at the boy who was bored and waiting for his answer, and suddenly smiled.
He got it.
The Horcrux that Wayne discovered must be made of some precious treasure, which made him think a lot.
I think there will be some good things among the other Horcruxes that have not been found.
He is still young. At his age, how can he care about any external things.
Even the Elder Wand, if it could destroy all Horcruxes, he wouldn't mind giving it to Wayne, let alone some ordinary treasures?
Dumbledore said with a smile in his eyes: "I agree to your terms, as long as they are the items left after the Horcrux was destroyed, you can do whatever you want.
Lao Deng emphasized the word object.
In his guess, Harry is also a Horcrux. He has not yet thought of any way to save Harry's life and destroy the Horcrux at the same time.
But this loophole must also be closed.
Wayne acted as if he didn't hear it and nodded happily.
"Since you want to sign an unbreakable oath, you need a witness..." Dumbledore hesitated.
Now, apart from the two of them, the only insiders are Grindelwald and Nicolas Flamel.
Finally, he said: "Let Nico be the witness."
"No need to go to such trouble." Wayne smiled: "I have made some improvements to the Unbreakable Oath spell, so I no longer need witnesses."
Dumbledore became interested, "How did you do it?"
"You need to create a magic node between the two magic powers, just create a witness. Unless one of the two people dies, this node will disappear."
Wayne said some more specific methods. Dumbledore thought about it and couldn't help but be impressed.
"What a genius idea, this spell will become much more convenient from now on."
But at the same time, Dumbledore also discovered a problem...
You kid has no time to study such an unpopular spell. How many secrets does it have?
But now...he is not in the mood to worry about what Wayne did. The news about the soul is the most important thing.
The two people's wands emitted golden light and connected into a thread. A golden ball was located in the center, and Wayne spoke the content of the oath.
It's the same as what I just said, but with the addition of one more thing. If Dumbledore gets the exact information about the Horcrux, he must take Wayne with him to find it.
Dumbledore also found this point harmless and did not refute it.
When the ball of light exploded, a sense of enlightenment arose in their hearts at the same time.
The oath is fulfilled.
"Can you take out the Horcrux now?" Dumbledore said helplessly.
After struggling for a long time, he didn't even see the sign of the Horcrux.
Wayne took out the crown and placed it on the table.
Dumbledore carefully used his wand to control the crown to float. Because his mind was entirely on the Horcrux, he did not pay too much attention to its appearance.
But after searching for a long time, he didn't find any characteristics of a Horcrux.
Just when he was about to ask Wayne, he saw the Ravenclaw quote under the crown, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Is this Ravenclaw's crown?"
Wayne smiled implicitly, "Yes, you have really good eyesight."
"..........
Is now the time to praise him for his immortality?
"Wayne, I think there is something wrong with the contract we just signed." Dumbledore said sincerely: "I didn't consider where Voldemort had taken these Horcruxes from somewhere. If they are treasures with an owner, it would be better to return them to the original owner."
"You are right." To his surprise, Wayne nodded in agreement: "When I meet Ravenclaw, I will return this crown to her."
"Don't tell me that this treasure belongs to the school. Gryffindor's sword was clearly left by Gryffindor, and the crown was not left by Ravenclaw. It disappeared more than a thousand years ago. It was only found by Fu Fu after hard work. Made into a soul body.”
Dumbledore was speechless.
Although he knew that the possibility of getting the crown back from Wayne was almost zero, he still had to try.
How can you give up if you don’t try?
Sure enough, after trying it once and being rejected, he gave up.
"Where did you find the diadem? Has the soul fragment inside been destroyed? And how was it done?" Dumbledore asked a series of questions.
Wayne gave the reason he had already thought of and asked: "Professor, do you still remember the disappearing phase that Tom used when he escaped last year?"
Dumbledore nodded. Of course he would not forget it. He also collected the fragments and wanted to try to repair them to see if he could find where Tom escaped.
Unfortunately, the cabinet was so badly damaged that it could not be put together into a complete shape.
"I was thinking at that time, where did Tom get this disappearing cabinet? It was probably a treasure he discovered when he was a student and was hidden in the school.
"It has not been discovered for so many years. It should be hidden in a very hidden place."
Dumbledore nodded.
That's very reasonable.
"So you found the crown when you were looking for where the Vanishing Cabinet was hidden?"
"Yes, it's in the Room of Requirement."
"The Room of Requirement?" Dumbledore looked at him doubtfully: "Is there such a place in the school?"
"On the eighth floor, opposite the tapestry of "Troll Beats Barnabas the Fool," is a house that does not exist."
"That's where you said it was." Dumbledore suddenly realized, stroking his beard and smiling: "The Room of Requirement? It's a very appropriate name."
"I have been there before. I was anxiously looking for the bathroom. A door appeared out of thin air opposite the tapestry. When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with various chamber pots. I even brought two back. They were both high-quality products. Don’t you want to share one with me?”
Wayne ignored the smelly topic and continued: "At that time, the crown was placed on a small Slytherin statue, which has the same smell as the diary."
"Then I gave it to Nico, and he destroyed the soul fragments inside."
"How exactly is it done?" Dumbledore asked. Finding the Horcrux was already very difficult, but destroying it was also a difficult problem.
He originally wanted to ask Grindelwald, but now it saved him a lot of effort.
"The venom and fierce fire of the basilisk can destroy Horcruxes." Wayne said truthfully: "As for Nico, he separated the toxins from the venom that target the soul, made a magic potion, and soaked the crown in it. It took weeks to succeed.
With a strong effort, Wayne took the crown back from Lao Deng's hand and smiled: "Now, this crown has nothing to do with Horcruxes."
Dumbledore: "…………"
After doing so many things and even destroying Voldemort's soul, I finally remembered to tell him.
Is this because he is afraid that he will take the crown back?
Is he that kind of person?
"It's already too late for me to say what I should say. Then Professor, I'll leave first."
After Wayne finished pretending to be cool, he was ready to run away, and he was jealous.
It's a pity that Dumbledore couldn't let him go so easily.
Looking at the time, Dumbledore suddenly smiled and said: "It's past dinner time now, and there is no food in the auditorium, so why not eat here."
"No need." Wayne instinctively felt something bad, and the door back was locked.
With a wave of Dumbledore's hand, two plates of West Lake vinegar fish were placed on the table.
Wayne:"n
In the end, this contest ended with both sides losing.
Wayne clutched his stomach and ran away, while Dumbledore drank a large glass of honey water to heal his severely damaged mouth and intestines.
Vinegar is vinegar, and fish is fish. Why do they taste so bad when mixed together?
Did the house elves use vinegar from Hufflepuff's doorstep?
After a while, Dumbledore recovered and began to think about Voldemort's Horcrux.
Unlike the diary, Ravenclaw's crown brought him a lot of clues, and finally he no longer had to search like a headless fly.
Voldemort had a hobby - collecting commemorative trophies.
He had discovered this secret when he went to the Wood Orphanage to introduce Tom Riddle to Hogwarts.
There are many tattered clothes in Tom's wardrobe, which belong to children who have been bullied by him.
Even the diadem that had been missing for many years could be found, so Voldemort's other Horcruxes are most likely the treasures of the other founders.
With a clear direction, Dumbledore instantly figured out many things.
At the same time, it was even more heartbreaking.
He now wished he could use the time turner to go back two hours to prevent his past self from signing that unbreakable vow with Wayne.
If the Horcruxes are all relics of the four founders, then wouldn't he become the most prodigal principal in history, giving so many treasures to Wayne?
That guy probably guessed it, that’s why he said that!
Dumbledore covered the left side of his chest.
I feel uncomfortable and want to regret it!
After the students finished class, Dumbledore went to Professor McGonagall's office.
He came to 'ask for leave'.
"Minerva, do you still have the special medicine Poppi gave you?"
Professor McGonagall was startled: "How many more bottles are there? Is your heart feeling bad too?"
She needed this thing because she was annoyed by Gryffindor's energetic little lions every day.
Not only was Dumbledore not angry, but he thought it was a good thing for the students to be more lively. Why did he start taking medicine too?
Lao Deng responded with a wry smile: "Some trouble happened, and I'm a little tired."
"Then I'll give it to you first, and I'll just ask Poppy for it." Professor McGonagall took out the medicine and handed it to him, and said with concern: "Albus, you have to pay attention to your health, the school still needs you.
"Thank you, Minerva." Dumbledore took a pill, and then said: "But now is not the time to relax, I need to go out, and the school will be left to you...well, and Mr. Lawrence.
After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore added Wayne's name.
Although it was hard for him to torment him, Dumbledore could not deny that Wayne was better and more decisive than Professor McGonagall when it came to maintaining the school.
"Are you going out again?" Professor McGonagall frowned in displeasure: "How long has it been and Black hasn't been caught yet? What should I do if you run around the school like this?"
"Minerva, I have
Something important needs to be done. Dumbledore looked at him seriously: "Perhaps this is more important than Black's whereabouts."
"Besides, isn't it because you and Severus are here? Even if Black appears, I believe you can protect the students, right?"
Seeing Dumbledore's sincere eyes, Professor McGonagall also fell silent.
Finally, he sighed helplessly and said: "You are the principal, who can control you? Go back quickly."
Dumbledore smiled.
"when are we leaving?"
"Now.
"In such a hurry?" Professor McGonagall's expression was more serious. It must be very difficult to make Dumbledore in such a hurry.
"Then go quickly."
Dumbledore nodded slightly, "If you have important matters, please contact me the same way as last time. I'll leave first.
After saying that, he took the medicine and left Professor McGonagall's office.
On the other side, Wayne completely forgot about the unpleasant things that happened at noon, and instead found Qiu.
"You want to come to our common room?" Qiu looked at the boy doubtfully.
"Well, I want to ask Ms. Gray a few questions. Can you take me in tonight?"
As he had time today, he was going to chat with Ms. Gray to see if there were any other secrets hidden in the crown, so that he could give Nico an answer.
Qiu looked embarrassed: "Wayne, it's not that I don't want to help you. If you are a Ravenclaw student, as long as one of us answers the question correctly, you can come in."
"But if you are a student from another college, you will have to answer a question separately, and it will be more difficult than asking ours."
"Is there any other explanation?" Wayne frowned.
"Yeah." Qiu nodded and held the boy's hand: "There used to be many people who wanted to visit the Ravenclaw Lounge, but no one has succeeded in many years."
"At least since I enrolled, no students from other colleges have come in."
"Forget it, I'll just answer the question myself tonight." Wayne wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to answer the question.
With his intelligence, how could a broken doorknob catch him?
"Perhaps I can help you call Ms. Gray out?" Qiu came up with an idea: "But this ghost is very cold and rarely communicates with the students, but (Qian Li Zhao) can you talk to her first?
It would take a little more familiarity. "
"No need." Wayne stroked the girl's hair, "I heard she has a bad temper, but we don't want to be angry with her."
At midnight, Wayne arrived at the door of the Ravenclaw Lounge in the west tower.
The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on the door "came alive" after he appeared, and he opened his mouth and said:
"The little wizard from Hufflepuff, if you want to enter the space belonging to the wise, you need to pass my test."
The young man was very calm and said, "Let the horses come over."
The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker tells the story.
"I am constantly rotating in eternity, with neither beginning nor end. Wise men pursue me, but fools ignore me. I am invisible, but I affect the shape of things. What am I?"
After hearing this, Wayne fell into a long silence...
He seemed to have finished speaking.
"Do you usually ask Ravenclaw students questions like this?"
"No, this is only for outsiders."
"Can I change it to another one?"
"Come back in a month and I will change the problem.
Is there a cooling off period?
Wayne is paralyzed. If something more difficult happens in a month, wouldn't he be wasting his time?
After thinking for a moment, he silently took out his wand.
"Why can you only give me problems? Now it's my turn to give you problems."
The young man sneered: "Two choices are before you. First, the door is broken, and then I break in.
"Second, you open the door and I'll go in."
"Excuse me, which situation is a win-win situation?"
"Don't doubt whether I can do it. Ask around among your gatekeepers. There is no place in this castle that I can't enter.'
This time, it was Yingfu's bronze door knocker's turn to be silent.
The tip of the wand gradually lit up, the red light flashing and dimming, and Wayne's expression gradually became impatient.
The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker finally spoke again.
"Strength is also a kind of wisdom, young man, I agree with you."
With that said, he returned to his original position, and the door slowly opened, revealing the passage inside. .
