Hogwarts: Please graduate soon

Hearing this strange request, Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, and the half-moon-shaped lenses reflected the light, making it difficult to see his emotions.

He was thinking about the purpose of Wayne's doing this.

To explore the mystery of the Horcrux?

This was immediately ruled out by Dumbledore.

Wayne had expressed his contempt and disdain for this method of immortality many times. He really didn't like it at all, and there was no need to do this.

And even if Wayne had a different idea about the Horcrux and wanted to master the method of making the Horcrux,

Why would he tell him so frankly?

You could just ignore it and keep him in the dark.

And, this condition is the destroyed Horcrux... In this case, he doesn't want the Horcrux itself, but the items made into Horcruxes?

Dumbledore lowered his head and looked at the bored boy waiting for his answer, and suddenly smiled.

He understood.

It must be the Horcrux that Wayne found. It must be made of some precious treasure, which made him think about it.

He thought that there would be some good things in the other Horcruxes that were not found.

He was still young. At his age, he would not care about material things.

Even if the Elder Wand could really destroy all Horcruxes, he would not mind giving it to Wayne, let alone some ordinary treasures?

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I agree to your conditions. As long as it is the items left after the Horcruxes are destroyed, you can dispose of them at will."

Old Dumbledore emphasized the word "item".

In his guess, Harry is also a Horcrux. He has not yet thought of any way to save Harry's life and destroy the Horcruxes.

But this loophole must be filled.

Wayne nodded happily as if he didn't hear it.

"Since we have to sign an unbreakable oath, we need a witness..." Dumbledore hesitated.

Now, besides the two of them, the only people who know the truth are Grindelwald and Nicolas Flamel.

Finally, he said, "Let Nico be the witness."

"No need to bother." Wayne smiled and said, "I have made some improvements to the unbreakable oath spell, and no witness is needed anymore."

Dumbledore became interested, "How did you do it?"

"You need to create a magic node between the two people's magic and simulate a witness. Unless one of the two people dies, this node will disappear."

Wayne also gave some specific methods. Dumbledore thought about it and couldn't help but admire it.

"A genius idea. From now on, this spell will become much more convenient."

But at the same time, Dumbledore also discovered a problem...

You kid has nothing to do but 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.What, the news of the Horcrux is the most important.

The two wands emitted golden light, connecting into a thread, and a golden ball was located in the center. Wayne said the content of the oath.

It was the same as what he said just now, but he added one more thing. If Dumbledore got the exact news of the Horcrux, he would also take Wayne to find it.

Dumbledore also thought it was harmless, so he did not refute it.

When the ball of light exploded, a sense of enlightenment rose in the hearts of the two at the same time.

The oath was made.

"Can we take out the Horcrux now?" Dumbledore said helplessly.

After a long time of hard work, he didn't even see the shadow of the Horcrux.

Wayne took out the crown and put it on the table.

Dumbledore carefully used his wand to control the crown to float up. Because his mind was all on the Horcrux, he didn't pay too much attention to the appearance.

But he explored for a long time and didn't find any characteristics of the Horcrux.

Just when he was about to ask Wayne, he saw the famous saying of Ravenclaw under the crown, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Is this the crown of Ravenclaw?"

Wayne smiled implicitly, "Yes, you have a good eye."

Dumbledore: "......."

Is it time to praise him for not being blinded by age?

"Veen, I think there are some problems with the contract we just signed." Dumbledore said sincerely: "I didn't consider that these Horcruxes were stolen by Voldemort from somewhere. If they are treasures with owners, it is better to return them to their original owners."

"You are right." To his surprise, Wayne nodded in agreement: "When I meet Ravenclaw, I will return the diadem to her." . "

"Don't say that this treasure belongs to the school. The sword of Gryffindor was clearly left by Gryffindor, but the diadem was not left by Ravenclaw. It disappeared more than a thousand years ago. Voldemort worked hard to find it and made it into a Horcrux. "

Dumbledore was speechless.

Although he knew that the possibility of getting the crown back from Wayne was almost zero, he had to try.

How could he give up if he didn't try?

Sure enough, after trying once and being rejected, he gave up.

"Where did you find the crown? Has the soul fragment inside been destroyed? How did you do it?" Dumbledore asked a series of questions.

Wayne took out the reason he had thought of long ago and asked: "Professor, do you remember the disappearing cabinet that Tom used when he escaped last year?"

Dumbledore nodded. Of course he would not forget it. He also collected those fragments and wanted to try to repair them to see if he could find out where Tom escaped from.

Unfortunately, the cabinet was too badly damaged and could not be put together into a complete shape.

"I was wondering at the time, where did Tom get this disappearing cabinet from? It was probably a treasure he found when he was a student and was hidden away.In the school."

"It has not been discovered for so many years, it should be hidden in a very hidden place."

Dumbledore nodded.

That makes a lot of sense.

"So when you were looking for where the Vanishing Cabinet was hidden, you found the tiara?"

"Yes, it's in the Room of Requirement."

"Room of Requirement?" Dumbledore looked at him in confusion: "Is there such a place in the school?"

"On the eighth floor, opposite the tapestry of "The Troll Beats the Fool Barnabas", there is a non-existent house."

"You mean there." Dumbledore suddenly realized, stroked his beard and smiled: "Room of Requirement? It's a very appropriate name. ”

“I’ve been there before. I was anxiously looking for the bathroom when a door suddenly appeared opposite the tapestry. I opened it and saw all kinds of chamber pots inside. I took two back. They were all exquisite. Do you want one?”

Wayne ignored this savory topic and continued: “The crown was placed on a small Slytherin statue at the time. It had the same smell as the diary.”

“Then I gave it to Nico, and he destroyed the soul fragments inside.”

“How did he do it specifically?” Dumbledore asked. Finding the Horcrux was already difficult, but destroying it was also a problem.

He originally wanted to ask Grindelwald, but now he saved a lot of effort.

“The basilisk’s venom and the Fiendfyre can destroy Horcruxes.” Wayne said truthfully: “As for Nico, he separated the toxins targeting the soul from the venom and made it into a potion. He soaked the crown for a week before he succeeded. ”

Wayne took the crown back from Dumbledore with a strong effort and smiled: "Now, this crown has nothing to do with the Horcrux."

Dumbledore: "..."

After doing so many things, even destroying Voldemort's soul, he finally remembered to tell him.

Is he afraid that he will take the crown back?

Is he that kind of person?

"It's too late for me to say what I should say. Professor, I'll leave first."

Wayne was ready to run away after pretending to be cool, so as to avoid Dumbledore's jealousy.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore couldn't let him go so easily.

Looking at the time, Dumbledore suddenly smiled and said: "It's past dinner time now. There is no food in the hall. Why don't you eat here?"

"No need. "Wayne instinctively felt something was wrong, but the door had been locked.

With Dumbledore's wave of his hand, two plates of West Lake vinegar fish were placed on the table.

Wayne: "..."

..........

In the end, the contest ended with both sides losing.

Wayne ran away holding his stomach, and Dumbledore drank a large glass of honey water to heal his severely injured mouth and stomach.

Vinegar is vinegar, fish is fish, why is it so unpalatable when mixed together?

Could it be that the house elves usedThe vinegar at the door of Hufflepuff?

After a long pause, Dumbledore recovered and began to think about Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Unlike the diary, the Ravenclaw diadem gave him a lot of clues, and he finally didn't have to search like a headless fly.

Voldemort had a hobby - collecting commemorative trophies.

When he went to the Wu Orphanage to bring Tom Riddle into Hogwarts, he had discovered this secret.

There were many tattered clothes in Tom's closet, all of which belonged to the children he had bullied.

Even the diadem that had been missing for many years could be found, so Voldemort's other Horcruxes were likely to be the treasures of other founders.

With a clear direction, Dumbledore instantly figured out many things.

At the same time, he was even more heartbroken.

He now wished he could use the time converter to go back two hours ago to stop his past self from signing the unbreakable oath with Wayne.

If the Horcruxes are all relics of the four founders, then wouldn't he be the most profligate headmaster in history, giving so many treasures to Wayne?

That kid probably guessed it, so he said that!

Dumbledore covered his left chest.

Feeling uncomfortable, wanting 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 that Poppy gave you?"

Professor McGonagall was startled: "There are still a few bottles, is your heart not good?"

She needs this thing because she is annoyed by the energetic little lions of Gryffindor 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 they start taking medicine?

Old Dumbledore smiled bitterly: "Some troubles happened, I am a little tired."

"Then I'll give it to you first, I'll go to Poppy for it later." Professor McGonagall took out the medicine and handed it to him, and said with concern: "Albus, you must take care of 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 for a while, the school will be handed over to you...well, and Mr. Lawrence."

After hesitating for a moment, Dumbledore still added Wayne's name.

Although he had tossed him hard, Dumbledore could not deny that Wayne was better and more decisive than Professor McGonagall in maintaining the school.

"You're going out again?" Professor McGonagall frowned unhappily: "It's been a while, Black hasn't been caught yet, what are you going to do if you run around the school like this?"

"Minerva, I have something important to do." Dumbledore looked at him seriously: "Perhaps this is more important than Black's whereabouts."

"Besides, don't we still have you and Severus? Even if Black shows up, I believe you can protectGood student, right?"

Seeing Dumbledore's sincere eyes, Professor McGonagall was silent.

Finally, he sighed helplessly: "You are the headmaster, who can control you? Go and come back quickly."

A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"When are you leaving?"

"Now."

"So urgent?" Professor McGonagall's expression became more serious. It must be a very difficult matter to make Dumbledore so hurried.

"Then you go quickly."

Dumbledore nodded gently, "If there is something important, please contact me using the last method. I'm leaving first."

After 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 found Qiu.

"Are you coming to our common room? "Qiu looked at the boy in confusion.

"Well, I want to ask Ms. Grey a few questions. Can you take me in tonight?"

It just so happened that he had time today. He planned to talk to Ms. Grey to see if there were any other secrets hidden in the crown, so as to give Nico an answer.

Qiu looked embarrassed: "Wayne, it's not that I don't want to help you. If you are a student of Ravenclaw, as long as one of us answers the question correctly, you can come in."

"But if you are a student of other colleges, you must answer a question separately, and it will be more difficult than asking us."

"Is there such a saying?" Wayne frowned.

"Yeah." Qiu nodded his head and held the boy's hand: "Many people have wanted to visit the Ravenclaw common room, but no one has succeeded for many years."

"At least since I entered school, no students from other colleges have come in."

"Forget it, I can answer the questions myself tonight. "Wayne was not worried that he would not be able to answer.

With his wisdom, could a broken doorknob stump him?

"Perhaps I can help you call out Ms. Grey?" Qiu suggested, "But this ghost is very cold and rarely communicates with students. Maybe Zhao needs to get familiar with her first."

"No need." Wayne stroked the girl's hair, "I heard that she has a bad temper. We can't stand it."

........

At midnight, Wayne came to the door of the Ravenclaw common room in the west tower.

The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker on the door came to life after he appeared, and said:

"Little wizards from Hufflepuff, if you want to enter the space belonging to the wise, you need to pass my test."

The boy was very calm, "Come on." ”

The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker pointed out the problem.

“I keep spinning in eternity, without beginning or end. The wise pursue me, the foolish ignore me. I am invisible, but I affect the form of all things. What am I?”

Wayne fell into a long silence after listening...

He seemed to have saidFull.

"Do you usually give Ravenclaw students this kind of questions?"

"No, this is only for outsiders."

"Can you change it?"

"Come back in a month and I'll change the questions."

Is there a cool-down period?

Wayne was confused. What if a more difficult question came out in a month? Wouldn't he be wasting his time?

After thinking for a moment, he silently took out his wand.

"Why can only you cause me problems? Now it's my turn to cause you problems."

The young man sneered: "Two choices are in front of you. First, the door is broken, and then I break in."

"Second, you take the initiative to open the door and let me in."

"Excuse me, which situation is a win-win situation?"

"Don't doubt whether I can do it. Ask around in your door-watching world. There is no place in this castle that I can't enter."

Now, it was the turn of the eagle-shaped bronze door knocker to be silent.

The top of the magic wand gradually lit up, the red light flickered, and Wayne's expression gradually became impatient.

The eagle-shaped bronze door knocker finally spoke again.

"Power is also a kind of wisdom, young man, I recognize you."

As he said, he returned to his original state, and the door slowly opened, revealing the passage inside.
