Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Chapter 309 Changing Thoughts—Gringotts

"Then I'll tell you that you can't do it." Moon kept shaking her head and sighing, her footsteps clicking in Dumbledore's office.

"Why can't I do it?" Lao Deng looked confused. He was wearing a dazzling purple nightgown and a small nightcap on his head, and his face was full of confusion.

"Look what this is." Mu En threw the crown on the table.

With a clang, all the confusion and sleepiness on Dumbledore's face suddenly disappeared.

"This is?"

As he spoke, he walked closer in three or two steps, looked solemnly, and pulled out the Elder Wand.

A light blue light rose on the crown, and the crown gradually floated and began to rotate slowly, as if it was conducting an all-round exploration.

After a moment, Dumbledore looked calm.

"Mu En, where did you find it?!"

"In this school, there is a filth-harboring room in the room where all requests are answered."

"The dirt-housing room? Oh, you mean the huge room where old objects are piled, right?"

"That's right." Moon nodded: "Thanks to Harry, I can only say that Horcruxes are attracted to each other."

Dumbledore wanted to say that there was no such thing.

But he really couldn't maintain Moon's joking attitude towards the topic of Harry being a Horcrux.

So he could only remain silent.

"My personal guess is that Severus put him here." Moon said, and then expressed his speculation.

Dumbledore thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, probably not," he said.

"Severus only came to this school as a professor after Voldemort died. Before that, he had never set foot in Hogwarts since he graduated. There is no way it could be him."

As he spoke, he touched his wand to his forehead.

"Please allow me, my old bones, to recall what happened decades ago."

Mu En was not in a hurry, just leaned on the sofa and poured herself a glass of honey water.

It was so sweet that his throat felt a little sticky.

"Perhaps Voldemort himself hid him here?"

"You mean when Voldemort came to apply for a job?" Mu En responded casually.

"The only possibility I can think of is this." Dumbledore explained: "He has only been here once, and as you know, his ambitions were not fully exposed at that time, and I lacked a lot of vigilance against him. Heart.

Since he can put a curse on Defense Against the Dark Arts, he can also hide a gadget in the Room of Requirement. "

"Is it dark under the lamp?" Mu En murmured, neither affirming nor denying.

"Every seven years, there are only three students who know about the Room of Requirement." Dumbledore said: "In fact, there are only three who know about it now, the Weasley brothers and one Potter.

Both the ghosts and the portraits stick to their old ways and treat the Room of Requirement as a Hogwarts treasure, leaving it to the children to discover on their own or to pass it on by word of mouth.

So there is no doubt that this is a place that few people know about. As long as this Horcrux stays there quietly, no one will find it. "

"It seems that he is indeed considering safety issues." Mu En nodded.

"Of course, Hogwarts is the safest place in the world." Dumbledore nodded.

Mu En looked at him with a strange look.

"Well, there is also Hufflepuff's golden cup and a Horcrux made from the relics of an unknown Gryffindor." He changed the subject.

"One of them must be related to Bellatrix." Dumbledore said, his expression gradually becoming distressed.

He has rummaged through everything related to Bella three times, even excavated the Lestrange family's old mansion, and even went to the Lestrange family's mausoleum in France to conduct research. Did some research.

"Trouble." Mu En picked up the crown: "I still have use for this thing, take it away."

"Okay." Dumbledore nodded, but inevitably asked cautiously: "What do you want it to be used for?"

"To be precise, use that broken soul to do a little bit of Jie Jie Jie"

"Be normal, Riddle is scared." Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh.

"Afraid? There's no point in being afraid." Mu En smiled, turned around and waved, and left the office in a few steps.

"This guy" Dumbledore looked at Moon's back with a smile on his face.

This guy was not in the mood to joke like this before.

He would probably smash the crown on his head with a straight face, and then sneer and say, "It seems that I discovered something that you couldn't."

After withdrawing these stray thoughts, Dumbledore had to focus on the most important issue at present.

Where would the Horcrux be?

Since Voldemort personally placed the crown here, he determined the safety here

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

wrong!

There is also a place belonging to the Lestrange family that I haven't investigated yet.

A safe enough place.

Just like Riddle put the crown here and entrusted the so-called [safety] to Hogwarts.

In the past, his idea was that Riddle would hand over [security] to his trusted subordinates, not outsiders, not a certain location or organization.

But now, with the example of the crown

The next moment, his expression changed, he waved his wand, and a silver phoenix appeared from the tip of the wand and rushed towards the direction where Mu En left.

After a while, Mu En paced back again and looked at him.

"So have you made any new discoveries?"

"Gringotts!" Dumbledore said, "I have never explored Gringotts, the Lestrange family."

"Wow." Moon nodded.

"I didn't expect it either." Dumbledore said seriously.

Moon also nodded seriously and said, "I didn't expect it either - you haven't explored such a conspicuous place until now!"

Dumbledore had roughly guessed what Moon was going to say next.

Deciding immediately, he waved his hand quickly: "Okay, well. This is indeed a bit like letting us skip this topic. How about it?"

Moon shook his head in disappointment and sat back on the sofa.

"What do you want to do now?"

"Personally, I would tend to negotiate with Gringotts." Dumbledore said seriously.

"I suggest you go in and look it over." Moon said in a flat tone: "Is it necessary to talk about this kind of thing? And I don't think those goblins will give you this face."

Hearing this, Dumbledore also fell into thought.

Then he said helplessly: "We have to give it a try, don't we?"

"Okay, whatever you want." He nodded helplessly.

Then, the pointed ears suddenly twitched, and Mu En reacted.

"Wait, what does it have to do with me? Are you old and dying?"

"I need your help, friend." Dumbledore said: "Gringotts is not a little thing like a bowtruckle, otherwise how could it be so comfortable and independent of political institutions to make money crazily, and even interfere in other countries."

"Well, poor Egypt, its own pyramids have to be handed over to Gringotts to crack and develop." Mu En spread his hands helplessly.
