Chapter 638 Voldemort's Horcrux
Krum went to the Gryffindor lounge and invited Hermione to be a dance partner, but was rejected, and soon spread to other colleges through the mouths of Gryffindor students.
When many people heard this for the first time, they were a little unbelievable, and even wondered if the order was reversed.
After all, Hermione's invitation to Krum was rejected, which is in line with everyone's intuition.
But there are many witnesses, and the little lions are also convincing, and everyone finally believes that this is true, not a rumor.
But here comes the problem... Hermione looks very ordinary, she is still a typical "nerd", not very popular with boys.
And Krum, as a famous Quidditch star, would actually invite her. What kind of aesthetic is this?
Could it be that he doesn't care about looks, but only likes female academics with excellent grades?
Of course, what surprised everyone more than Krum's invitation was that Hermione simply rejected him...and the reason was "I have a partner".
To be honest, people don't really believe this statement. After all, what kind of dance partner can be more attractive than Krum?
But soon, another rumor emerged - from Hermione's roommate Lavender Brown, who "accidentally" revealed while chatting with others:
"Hermione doesn't have a partner, she just likes Rolf Scamander, that's why Krum refused..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still puzzled accepted them instantly, and they also felt that they were very reasonable.
Scamander is much more famous than Krum. He has also won two Merlin Medals. He is much more powerful than Krum. Most importantly, he is extremely handsome...
As for Krum, at the age of eighteen, he has a face of thirty-eight years old, so much so that there are still fans reporting him to the Quidditch Committee of the International Federation of Wizards, saying that he:
Falsely reporting his age, he is clearly a 30-year-old man, but insists on pretending to be a young man.
In such a contrast, it is normal for Hermione to reject Krum.
There are many female students at Hogwarts who are heartbroken because Rove became Shirley's partner and decided not to go to the dance... It seems that Hermione is also a member of the Heartbreak Club.
Hermione's refusal also made many students who couldn't find a dance partner feel much better:
Look, even big stars like Klum get rejected by girls, isn't it normal for them to be rejected?
All in all, this semester came to an end in such an atmosphere that was quite effective and joyful, and the long-awaited Christmas holiday finally came.
Unlike previous years, this year's Christmas holiday, most of Hogwarts students above the fourth grade stayed in school.
The professors assigned a lot of homework, but no one was in the mood to do it. The students were playing happily, and the school seemed noisier than usual.
Rove also didn't do his homework, he was busy with Shirley in the Room of Requirement.
At this moment, in front of them, there is a mountain of items:
There were thousands of books; winged slingshots and maces, a few of which were still hovering limply over mountains of forbidden things; broken bottles of frozen potions; hats, jewels, The cloak, something like a dragon eggshell...
These are the treasures left in the Room of Requirement by the students of Hogwarts in the past. After thousands of years of accumulation, they have become a veritable mountain of garbage.
Similarly, Voldemort's treasure, the Horcrux, is also hidden in this pile of rubbish.
Rove and Shirley were looking for the Horcrux made of the fake Ravenclaw crown.
But the problem now is that there are too many things here, a crown is hidden in it, and trying to find it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, the first time Harry came here to hide things, he could touch the crown. He is really a child of the plane, and he is indeed lucky.
But Rove's luck is obviously not very good. He has occasionally found time to "scavenge" here since he was in the second grade. After two and a half years of collecting, he still couldn't find the crown.
Sometimes he really wants to use Fierce Fire Curse to light this place, saving time and effort.
Just when Rove was hesitating whether to increase his manpower and call Hermione, Fleur, and Gabriel to help, Shirley's voice sounded from afar.
"Rolf, come here quickly!"
The boy immediately cheered up. He picked up the box and flew to the distance. After passing through several mountains of garbage, he quickly found Xueli.
The girl with ponytails was standing in front of a large cabinet with blisters on the surface, as if it had been splashed with strong acid. In her hand was a rusty crown.
Rove landed beside Shirley, took the crown from her hand, stroked it lightly, and said with a smile, "I finally found you."
Rove looked at Shirley and said, "Let's go back to the box first."
He placed the black suitcase on the ground, opened it and jumped in first, followed by Shirley.
After Rove fell into the room, he put the dilapidated crown on the table and explained:
"Xue Li, go and get that goblin dagger soaked in basilisk venom."
The girl with ponytail hummed, turned and walked towards a box.
At this time, I don't know if I heard Rove's words, a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared on the rusty crown.
He stared at the boy, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you a Hogwarts student?"
"Yes." Rove looked into those eyes and asked knowingly, "Who are you?"
"Me?" Voldemort rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I am Rowena Ravenclaw's crown, and like Gryffindor's sorting hat, I have my own consciousness..."
"Ravenclaw's crown?" An exaggerated expression appeared on Rove's face, "Could it be that you are the legendary crown that can increase wisdom after wearing it?"
"That's right, it's me." Voldemort said flickeringly:
"Ravenclaw left me in the Room of Requirement, and let me wait for someone who is destined to pass on her magic. It seems that you are the one who is destined!"
"Child, open your heart, let go of your soul, and give me your whole body." Voldemort said in a bewitching voice:
"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even conquer death..."
"Really?" Rove said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I also have a crown here, please help me take a look."
The boy opened the drawer, took out the real Ravenclaw diadem, and placed it side by side with the Horcrux.
After Voldemort looked at the shining crown, he froze for a moment. He was taken aback and said, "You... your crown is a fake... a fake."
"Fake?" Rove laughed, "But it was given to me by Helena. She said it was the real Ravenclaw diadem."
"She also said...that she had tricked a fool named Tom Riddle into a tree hole in the Albanian forest and got a fake diadem.
Crown, crown... have you seen that second idiot? "
"..."
