The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 651 The Lost Crown

Every autumn, the leaves of the Whomping Willow will rustle and fall, and the branches will not sprout again until spring when the flowers bloom.

It was autumn again, the morning air was a bit chilly, the leaves of the Whomping Willow gradually turned yellow, it trembled anthropomorphically, a large leaf fell like last night's rain.

Ada emerged from the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, and walked towards the castle in the Whomping Willow's impotent rage.

The field is wet from the rain, and the shoes and robes will be wet when passing by.When Ada entered the castle foyer, her calfskin boots were covered with fine droplets of water.

Today is the weekend, the students seem to have not yet broken free from the shackles of the soft and comfortable beds, the hall is deserted, and the whole castle looks like it has not woken up.

Along the ever-changing stairs, Ida came all the way to the eighth floor of the castle, where Harry was waiting for her under the tapestry of Barnabas with the troll stick.

Harry thought that the diadem might be hidden in the Room of Requirement, but the Savior didn't act rashly. Instead, he sent a letter to Ida, inviting her to come with him.The situation in the cave was still fresh in Harry's memory. Although this was a school, Voldemort should not be able to arrange traps like the cave, but there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Harry was sad for a while when sending the letter. He would never see Hedwig, who had followed him for many years, and could only use Ron's piggy.

Harry is not alone under the tapestry, his good friends Ron and Hermione are there, as are Sirius and Lupine.

The two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors stared intently at the opposite wall. They claimed to know the castle like the back of their hands, but they never knew there was such a magical place in the school.

"Concentrate on thinking about the venue you need, and walk through that section of the wall three times...and a room you need will appear!" Sirius said excitedly, "It's unbelievably magical!"

At this moment, Sirius is like a boy who has never seen the world. The House of Requirement does not appear on the Marauder's Map, not because of its unmarkable feature, but because the four Marauders really don't know about it.

Otherwise, when Harry organized a DA, Sirius would not recommend the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor, and would recommend the Room of Requirement to Harry directly.

Lu Ping's mental state was much better than before. He was also looking at the wall and said with a smile, "Why didn't you find out at that time?"

"Perhaps you were thinking about some 'furry' little problems at that time?" Ada said as she walked towards the tapestry.

Lupine shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Okay, okay, I already know I was wrong. Don't hold on to this matter anymore."

In English, lupine (Lupine) has the meaning of lupine, and in Greek it means "sorrow".The lupine seeds are extremely bitter in the mouth, making people frown and seem to be in pain.So its flower language is "bitter".

Moonface's past life was as bitter as his surname. Now that he has Tonks and his unborn child, I hope his future life will be full of hardships.

Seeing the main players coming, Harry didn't waste any more time, and walked straight to the wall.Behind the wall is the hidden Room of Requirement.

I need that hiding place, Harry pleaded in his head, and as he ran past for the third time, a sleek wooden door appeared in the otherwise bare wall.

The Room of Requirement answered Harry's plea.

Holding the doorknob, Harry pushed the door open and was the first to enter the room.

Ada and others filed in after him.When everyone crossed the threshold, they were stunned by the sight before them.

The Room of Requirement became the size of a cathedral, and the surrounding landscape looked like a city, with its high walls made up of the possessions of thousands of long-dead students.

Ada casually picked up the old books piled up next to her and looked through them. She found that several of them dated back centuries.This is a good place for "treasure hunting".

"He never knew other people could come in?" said Ron, his voice echoing in the silence.

"He thought he was the only one who could come in," Harry went on, "but he doesn't know how well we know this place, and he deserves it."

Ada looked at the mountains and seas of old things in front of her. She made a mistake similar to Voldemort's.

Voldemort didn't know that anyone could find this place, she thought Voldemort didn't know this place, and subconsciously skipped the Room of Requirement.

A wise man has a lot of worries, and there is bound to be a mistake.Everyone has moments of negligence.

Voldemort's pride made him ignore the magic of the house-elf, and revealed his secret to Regulus, which resulted in the Horcrux being stolen; Ada's negligence made her ignore the House of Requirement, almost missed the crown, and Fortunately, it did not lead to bitter fruit.

The converted room of the Room of Requirement this time is very large, and there are a lot of old things piled up. The six people dispersed and searched separately.After they separated, they heard the sound of Hermione using the Flying Charm.

Of course, the crown will not fly to Hermione. In order to prevent someone from stealing with the Flying Curse, anti-curses such as the Intercepting Curse came into being.Otherwise, there would be no need to wait until the ancestors were recognized and returned to the clan, Ada would already be rich.

Passing through a passage full of garbage, Ada also began to search carefully, trying to find the crown hidden here.But what appeared in front of Ada were not damaged furniture, old books thrown here, and those prohibited items thrown here by students for thousands of years.

A few of the pieces of furniture looked familiar to Ida, and they should have been moved by the house elf Winnie from the Shrieking Shack, so they were thrown here.

Going deeper and deeper in the maze of old things, Ada's footsteps echoed among the garbage, bottles, hats, boxes, chairs, books, weapons, brooms, bats...

Finally, Harry yelled from the Room of Requirement: "Here it is! I found it! The crown is on it!"

Soon there were hurried footsteps in the room, and the scattered Horcrux hunters stood beside Harry again, looking in the direction of his finger.

It was an old cabinet with a blistered surface, and on top of it stood a pockmarked bust of a wizard with an old gray wig on his head and what looked like an old faded crown.

Ada raised her wand, and a thin golden ribbon shot out from the tip.The ribbon is wrapped around the crown, bringing it back to Ada.

"Excellent wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings." The bottom edge of the crown is engraved with Ravenclaw's famous motto.

That's right, this old crown is the same thing as Ravenclaw's lost crown, which is exactly the same as the one Ada saw in her memory, except that many traces of time have been added.

"We've found the Ravenclaw diadem, and as long as it's destroyed, Voldemort will have one less Horcrux!" said Harry, looking excited.

The same goes for everyone else, with smiles on Ron and Hermione's faces and Sirius and Ron high-fiving.They were one step closer to transforming Voldemort back into a mortal body and defeating Voldemort.

Ada then passed the crown to Harry. He found it, and he kept it and destroyed it.

But when Harry reached out to take the crown, his hands retracted as if they had touched a hot pot.

Ada looked at Harry suspiciously, she couldn't understand Harry's situation.The crown was held in Ada's own hand, and it wasn't hot at all. Why did Harry react like that just now?
