Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

In fact, since Hermione brought Harry and the others to the responsive room that day, they knew the Horcruxes and quickly recalled the second-year secret room and the basilisk attack.

In the back room, they had seen Tom Riddle with their own eyes-from the diary with a black cover.

For this reason, during the holidays, they made enough preparations to break into the Slytherin secret room again.Because in the second grade, there was no evidence to prove the death of the basilisk, so they naturally believed that the basilisk might still be alive in the secret room.

Because of this, the three little lions and the little eagle, Luna, deliberately stepped up to practice.Including the eye disease curse that is said to be effective against the basilisk, including the existence curse that can barely grasp its movements with closed eyes, and the potion to resist petrification...

Even Hermione went to buy two big roosters to target the weakness of the basilisk.

Of course, this is only because it is mentioned in the book that the crow of a rooster can drive away the basilisk.But whether this is really effective or not is unclear.

Unfortunately, although they made a series of preparations to deal with the "possibly" still alive basilisk.But when I got there, I found that the basilisk had disappeared long ago, and there were only mountains of rocks left.

Of course, Tom Riddle's diary was not found either.Harry and the others were somewhat puzzled about this, but Hermione thought that the diary might have been taken by Maca long ago.

As for the secret room in the secret room that Maca found when he went back to investigate the second time, he had already sealed it off, but Hermione and the others did not notice it.

"...I heard a story from Ms. Gray, do you...want to hear it?"

In the Hogwarts vestibule garden, when the three little lions were worried about no other clues, Luna, who had always been standing still, suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Gray? Oh... is that the ghostly beauty of your Ravenclaw College?" Ron scratched his head, "Although I really want to hear it, but now... it doesn't seem to be the time to listen to the story. ?"

Everyone is getting used to Luna's inexplicable words.Ron naturally thought Luna's thoughts were off the track again, even Harry thought so, only Hermione noticed it a little.

"What story? Is it something related to Horcrux?" Hermione still asked about it, based on the principle of not letting go of any clues that might exist.

"Oh, I don't know...maybe?" Luna said in a misty eyes, as if she had entered her unique trance mode, "at least it has something to do with Tom Riddle...it is him, cheated from Ms. Gray The location of the Ravenclaw Golden Crown..."

...

Ms. Gray...that is, Helena Ravenclaw, this is a dignified and beautiful woman.After death, she turned into a ghost, but she can still be called a beautiful woman. Naturally, her appearance during her lifetime can be imagined.

It's just that the ghostly beauty of this Ravenclaw college woman is beautiful, but she always has a domineering posture that makes people feel that it is not easy to get close.

If it hadn't been for Maca to go to her in advance and try to say hello, Luna's temperament would probably not overlap with this thorny rose.

But in general, Ms. Gray has taken care of Luna since Luna enrolled.For example, when Luna is unfamiliar with the castle, she can just follow her fingers, or she can chat occasionally.Over time, this living person and ghost gradually developed so many friendships.

Due to some past events, Ms. Gray doesn't like those who pretend, and what she can't stand most is deception.But Luna happened to be an extremely pure girl, and this alone still liked her very much.

In this way, one day after Voldemort was wiped out by Maca, Ms. Gray seemed to have a little emotion for the past.And Luna became the object of her confession.

"Do you know? The man who died there a few days ago,

That day, in front of a certain window in the Ravenclaw Tower, Ms. Gray said quietly.In her translucent eyes, there was a slight gleam of complicated light, which seemed to be caught in some embarrassing memories.

"It's wrong to steal." Luna at the time glanced at the ghost floating by the window and said.

Although Luna's words are simple and empty, they seem to be unimaginably heavy for Ms. Gray.The other party also looked towards Luna, but quickly looked away.

"Yeah! It's wrong to steal things..." Ms. Gray repeated this sentence softly, the words contained deep meaning, "Maybe, because I stole things first, I will be punished again and again later?"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Do you still know?" she said, "that man stole my trust in him... he stole my trust in a despicable way..."

This time Luna didn't speak, she just stood aside as usual, quietly listening.Sure enough, Ms. Gray didn't wait for her to say anything, she continued to talk.

"That man, Tom Riddle..." she said, "he pleased me with fancy words, he praised my beauty and wisdom, he said that I am no worse than my mother. Then... he took advantage of me to treat him When I had a good impression, he asked me where the crown made by my mother was. He also said that he would help me find it, and then give it to me again..."

"But...but..." At this point, Ms. Gray said with great loss, "He still lied to me-he obviously found the golden crown, but didn't give it to me, and lied that he didn't find it at all."

"I know he must have found it, because no one but me knows where the golden crown is, it must still be there..."

While she was talking, Ms. Gray shook her head slowly again, her eyes looking out the window were full of weakness.

"But, what can I do with him again?" She continued, "I'm just a ghost, and he had already graduated. He returned to Hogwarts that day, only to apply for a professorship in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Of... Later, he didn't apply for it, so he left alone..."

...

"...Ravenclaw's golden crown."

Hermione obviously knew what the crown mentioned in Luna's account.But seeing her ponder for a while, she frowned and showed a thoughtful expression.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." Luna chanted in a light tone, "Ravenclaw's golden crown can enhance the wisdom of the wearer."

"But I didn't expect that Ms. Gray turned out to be Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter..." Ron's concern was obviously a little bit elsewhere.

"So, there seems to be a clue... but is it broken when I get here?" Harry reluctantly said, "Voldemort might make the golden crown into his Horcrux and hide it somewhere... after all, How many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?"

"Who knows?" said Hermione, "but at least, I definitely won't just do one-that is obviously too unsafe for him! You think we encountered that diary so easily. ..."

Hermione's analysis naturally makes some sense.But they didn't know that the reason why the diary appeared under their noses was actually the "credit" of Lucius Malfoy.

While they were still thinking about the number of Horcruxes, Ron suddenly spoke again.

"Actually," he hesitated, "I'm more curious about Ms. Gray's thing... Luna, you mentioned just now, she said she also stole something? That's why she was punished or something..."

"Yeah." Luna nodded quickly. "She stole her mother's golden crown and hid it in the forests of Albania... She said that it should be a tree hole in a big tree."

At this point, Luna was rather interested, and whispered intently: "Later, Rowena Ravenclaw sent Barrow, who loves Ms. Gray, to find her... Do you know who Barrow is? In fact, he is the bloody Barrow from Slytherin!"

"Oh, this is really another amazing news!" Ron said with a gossiping face, "So what? What happened later? There should be some story...you don't tell me there is no more..."

"Later," Luna said mysteriously, "Barrow, because Ms. Gray was unwilling to go back to Hogwarts with him, so he stabbed Ms. Gray to death!"

"This……"

Since no one had thought that Ms. Gray would have died in this way, the three of them seemed quite shocked.But Luna didn't pause for long, and then went on...

"...But after Ms. Gray died, Barrow was also very regretful, so he committed suicide on the spot." She said, "So Barrow became the bloody Barrow—the blood on his body was not just himself. Yes, there are some, Ms. Gray’s."

"Barrow the Blood Man has such a grumpy temper. It's not surprising that this can happen..." Harry nodded. "But put these stories aside for now! What we need to know now is whether Voldemort hid the golden crown. Where is it?"

As Harry said before, finally got an unexpected clue from Luna, but when he got here, the clue was broken again.

Two consecutive items that may be Horcruxes can only be traced on the way, this feeling is undoubtedly frustrating.But the world is so big, and sorcerers can use the Apparition Mantra to scurry around the world at any time. If you want to find something deliberately hidden, it is simply more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

After that, time passed by day by day, and unconsciously, the International Alchemy Competition was near.
