Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 640: Finding the Missing Crown

The passage into this area is opened by resonant magic generated by mermaid singing and does not last long.

Once the song stops, the gap in and out closes, and Ivan will be locked in and out of here.

He must hurry to learn the secret here and leave before the gap closes.

Alvin traveled along the raven's trajectory and quickly walked through a row of bookshelves.

The innermost side of the room is an inwardly recessed wallpaper with a tall white marble figure.

It's Rowena Ravenclaw!!!

Ivan and Luna had seen her statue before when they visited Ravenclaw's public lounge.

Ravenclaw's marble statue is bigger than the one in the school's public lounge.

She seemed to be staring at Ivan, smiling like nothing, beautiful, but somewhat daunting.

The raven stopped over her head, crooked her head, and her blood-red eyes stared dead at Ivan.

It makes a loud, dull cry that makes people feel chilly.

“Excessive wisdom is man's greatest treasure! ”

Evan had previously heard an eccentric voice of indifference sound again, and this time he noticed that the voice was coming from this raven.

“If you want Ravenclaw's reward, bring her crown and I'll show you all the secrets! ”

“Ravenclaw's crown?!” When he heard it, Ivan's eyes moved away from the raven and down...

He only noticed that Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw's statue in front of him did not have that famous crown on her head.

It's incredible, you know, that Rowena Ravenclaw's portrait and sculpture so far clearly shows the crown, even in all the transcripts, and Ravenclaw himself would hardly take it off.

It is considered a symbol of Rowena Ravenclaw and has special significance.

For thousands of years, many wizards have believed Ravenclaw's crown possesses magical properties that increase the wisdom of the wearer.

This is a very famous legendary magic object that has been around the Ravenclaw family for generations.

Ravenclaw's crown is unknown for its usefulness beyond adding wisdom, but it is undoubtedly proof of wisdom and status.

The crown, also known as the Crown of Wisdom, is believed to be worn by only the most intelligent wizards in the world.

Ravenclaw has always been crowned in the eyes of the world because she is recognized as the smartest wizard.

But after her death, this precious magic item disappeared.

No matter how the latter searched the castle and her relics, no trace was found, and the crown disappeared without a trace!

Since then, the missing Ravenclaw crown has become a mystery, with rumours flying.

It was said that Rowena Ravenclausher could not be crowned and brought to the grave.

Others argue that the crown is automatically hidden and will only reappear once the witch of Rowena Ravenclaw appears to be comparable in intelligence.

But Ivan knew that Ravenclaw's daughter Helena Ravenclaw had stolen the crown.

She wanted to make herself smarter and more prestigious than her mother, so she fled with her crown and hid in a forest in Albania, hoping to take possession of a treasure that did not belong to her...

Nobody knew about it, Ravenclaw never admitted that the crown was missing, and she always pretended that it was still there.

She even concealed her losses from the other three founders, concealing her daughter's terrible betrayal.

She didn't even go looking for her own crown, just pretending it never happened.

Later, Ravenclaw became ill and very ill, and she hoped to see her daughter again before dying.

She sent a man who loved Helena very much, the Bloody Baron, to find her.

But Barrow finally killed Helena by mistake, and then Barrow committed suicide with that weapon.

Centuries later, he was shackled for repentance.

After his death, both men eventually returned to Hogwarts, only in a haunted form.

Because of all the regrets and remorse, they stayed here forever and wandered around the ancient castle.

Helena didn't see her mother in the end, and she didn't get her forgiveness, although Ravenclaw probably never resented her.

Barrow blames himself for killing his loved ones with his own hands, living in infinite pain, and cannot be relieved after death.

As for Ravenclaw's crown, Helena hid it in a hollow tree in the Albanian forest.

This is not the end of the story, and Ivan did not have to go to the desolate Albanian forest to find an ancient tree a thousand years ago, nor did he have to go to Ravenclaw's library to go through the ancient books and ask Helena and the bloody Barrow about their painful love.

Because Voldemort found the whereabouts of the missing crown, he went to that distant forest and retrieved the hidden crown.

He made the crown of wisdom his precious soul weapon, not to remain in that humble tree.

Voldemort then secretly returned the crown to its true home and hid it in Hogwarts' Must-Sees Room.

On the way back, Ivan's been thinking about these things.

In that way, he should thank Voldemort for making Ravenclaw's challenge easy.

Just go back to the castle and find the crown in the Mandatory Room, and when the mermaid brings it over for his next sacrifice, you'll get Ravenclaw's secret treasure.

The only thing that needs attention throughout this process is not to be affected by the Soul Fragment of the Coronation Voldemort.

Speaking of which, Ivan always wanted to deal with the Horcrux, because he wasn't in a hurry, so he kept stalling.

Just in time, take this opportunity to get rid of that Horcrux and check the crown for secrets.

Ivan and the mermaids said goodbye and resurfaced with the many magic materials they exchanged.

It is now around 10 pm, and the dark moon sways in the thick clouds with cold winds.

Ivan was surprised to see Hermione waiting on the shore, huddled in the bushes along the shore with a glass bottle filled with blue magic fire.

She looked nervously at the lake and her body was shaking constantly because of the cold, looking very pathetic.

“Didn't this girl tell her to meet the castle directly? She has to wait here!” Evan was warm inside and a little heartbroken, Hermione.

He knew Hermione was uncomfortable, so he waited by the lake for himself to come out.

Indeed, as soon as he saw Ivan crawl out of the lake, Hermione rushed over and hugged Ivan tightly...
