Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 372 The Crown in the Treasure Room

Weekends at Hogwarts are always fun, but some people don't think so.

At [-]:[-], Mikel, who had been lingering in the auditorium for half an hour, had to put down the tableware, and walked toward the basement classroom with three steps.

He seemed to be seeking help from his roommates, asking them to go with him, or casting a jinx on himself or something.

As long as he can escape this confinement, even if he is sent to the school hospital for two days, it will be fine.

But Kyle and Ryan never looked up at him.

"I'm going to go to the Quidditch stadium in a while." Ryan didn't seem to notice that there was no one around him at all, so he turned his head to the other side naturally and said, "I'm going to recruit two people this year, I'm going to try my luck, say Might not be chosen."

"Okay, which position are you going to choose?" Kyle turned his head, avoiding the pitiful eyes at the door.

"Chaser, same as you."

Ryan poured himself a glass of juice. "Or goalkeeper is fine, I hear the competition for this position is not so fierce."

"I don't know about that." Kyle thought for a while and said, "But I think you can try both positions to see which one is more suitable for you."

"I thought so too." Ryan took another piece of toast, "Are you going later? We can go together."

"I won't go." Kyle shook his head. "As long as Cedric is there, I have other things to do."

After Harris graduated, Cedric became the team's new captain. Whether it was recruiting new players or making training plans, it all fell on him.

The two chatted for a while, it was exactly eight o'clock.

The pitiful figure of Mikel was no longer at the entrance of the auditorium.

Kyle and Ryan got up at the same time.

Ryan went directly to the Quidditch pitch, while Kyle followed the stairs all the way to the eighth floor, walking back and forth three times in a corridor.

"I need a room where I can hide things." Kyle said silently in his heart.

Finally, it stops in the middle, facing the wall opposite a piece of tapestry.

The door to the Room of Requirement appears quickly, as if it were originally on the wall.

Kyle walked in and closed the door with his hands.

There was silence all around, he stood in a room the size of an auditorium, and the items hidden by previous Hogwarts students were piled together to form a series of high walls.

Beneath it were stacks of crumbling furniture and thousands of books.

However, these books are basically worthless, and some of the banned books are dangerous. Once opened, they may suffer some kind of evil curse, which already belongs to the category of black magic items.

Of course, there must be useful books, but Kyle doesn’t have time, and he’s too lazy to identify them one by one. Those in the library are enough for him to read, so there’s no need to waste time here.

Further down are winged slingshots and maces, a few of which are still hovering limply... broken bottles of frozen potions... clothes and hats... opal... eggshells... rusty Iron Sword...

Kyle walked in these alleys of garbage...or treasure, and soon found a specimen of a troll.

A giant monster more than ten feet tall is quite conspicuous even in this pile of treasures.

"It should be around here." Kyle looked around, walked along the passage directly in front of the troll, and finally stopped in front of a bunch of ugly statues.

These statues were all of the same style, each uglier than the other, and Old Tom of the Leaky Cauldron would have been handsome by comparison.

Among several long house-elf-like wizard statues, there was a most special one. Although it was not the ugliest one, it had a rusty and dark crown hanging obliquely on its head.

Ravenclaw's diadem.

Kyle took a deep breath.

He had been here once when he was in the first grade, but then he just took a look from a distance and left, not getting close at all.

According to Kyle's original idea, as long as Dumbledore started looking for Voldemort's Horcrux, just find a reason to throw this thing to him.

It wasn't until June that he suddenly changed his mind.

Mostly because of Rowena Ravenclaw.

When in the secret room, the founder can be said to be the one who cherishes words the most among the four. Usually the other three are talking, and she is watching from the side.

The only thing is that she reminded herself to practice more Occlumency, and mentioned the crown at the end.

If Kyle remembered correctly, her original words were that she would not have truly learned Occlumency until she was able to wear the crown without being affected.

This sentence did not sound strange at the time.

After all, strictly speaking, increasing wisdom can be regarded as another form of magical invasion, which naturally belongs to the business scope of Occlumency.

But a few days ago, after seeing the sorting hat in the principal's office, Kyle suddenly felt something was wrong.

A sword is protected so well, what if it is replaced with a crown that can increase wisdom...

Putting aside all other factors, even if the crown was not stolen by her daughter Helena, nor was it made into a Horcrux, but kept in the school... But such an important thing, it is one of his students who said it would be used. Usable?
Moreover, if it is really necessary to use the crown to practice Occlumency according to what Ravenclaw said, it will definitely not be used only once or twice, but often used.

This is simply not possible.

Giving the Ravenclaw diadem to a student to practice Occlumency?

Unless Rowena Ravenclaw herself came to visit, otherwise, probably no headmaster would agree to such an outrageous request.

Dumbledore might, but only he...

It is impossible for Ravenclaw to even guess the character of the headmaster of Hogwarts 1000 years later.

In addition, there are so many ways to practice and test Occlumency, Legilimency... Chaos Curse... You can even find a Meiwa, why use a crown? Isn't this standard too high?

It's like you want to practice boxing, but someone directly puts out a ten-centimeter thick steel plate, and says that when you break through it, you will be successful...

That's fine, but is it really necessary?

With the wisdom of Rowena Ravenclaw, it should be impossible not to think of this, but she said it anyway

Is there any other meaning in this...

After hesitating for a few days, Kyle decided to come over, no matter whether he thought too much, at least take the crown away first.

With his current Occlumency Technique, he should be able to resist the influence of the Horcrux.

probably……

Kyle put on the anti-spell gloves and picked up the crown carefully.

There is no curse, and there is no trace of spiritual magic, but after being made into a Horcrux, the crown also lost its original luster and became rusty and dark.

If you put it in the thrift shop in Diagon Alley, I'm afraid no one will buy it for a Sickle.

But when Kyle looked carefully, he could barely make out the small words engraved on it: Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings.

Kyle took off the anti-curse glove again, and held it directly in his hand, but there was still no response.

It seems that they are both Horcruxes, but there are still some differences between the crown and the diary, at least it is not so active.

Kyle took out the box prepared in advance and put the crown in it.

This box was given to him by Nicolas May. It was used to hold a diary last year and a crown this year. It can be regarded as a professional counterpart.
