Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

They were discussing how to proceed with this matter, and Sirius told Ivan how he was recognized by the centaur tribe.

"You know, when I was a student, I made the Marauder's Map with James, Remus, and Peter." Sirius said proudly, "That map can not only list the names of everyone in Hogwarts To display it, it also has the simple thoughts of the four of us. Only those who meet the conditions we set can use it. As soon as Snape touches that map, it will say some humiliating words to him."

"It's really remarkable. I've studied that map, and it involves very complicated and profound magic knowledge." Aiwen said with admiration, "Especially when the name is displayed on the map, this magic has far exceeded the scope of magic in the general sense." .”

"About this magic, we found a book in the restricted section, and it contains..."

"I know, it's "The Magic of Names." Ivan took out a thick magic book from his backpack, and said with a smile, "I just lent it out a few days ago, and I saw you left a book on it. The research notes below, these notes have given me a lot of inspiration."

When Aiwen was researching the black magic of summoning demons in "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic", he involved the magic knowledge related to names, and he also discovered this magic book.

According to the book, to summon a demon, the most important thing is to know the real name of the summoned object.Only by knowing the true name can the caster enslave the summoned demon.Otherwise, you will be killed by it, or conversely be controlled by the devil and made into its slave.

Ivan is very skeptical of this magic, he doesn't believe in the existence of demons.

Apart from the ancient black magic recorded in "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", he has never seen any other records related to it.

He didn't know what would be summoned by using this black magic? !

However, based on this, it is a good opportunity to study the magic power of the name.

As for the magic of summoning demons, Aiwen probably won't use it in this life.

Like making horcruxes and the previous black magic that inflicts soul damage, summoning demons requires sacrifices.In the summoning method recorded in "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic", the caster is required to use a special spell to kill a person himself when summoning.

That person's soul is the sacrifice!Different souls can summon different levels of demons. To put it simply, the more evil the caster's technique is, the more painful the victim will be when he dies, and the more powerful the summoned thing will be.

This kind of evil magic sounds chilling.

Sirius took the magic book handed over by Ivan, with a wry smile on his face, "I knew it, nothing can be hidden from you!"

For Ivan's omniscience, he has gone from shock to numbness.

Looking at the thin boy in front of him, Sirius shook his head helplessly.

When he was running away, he had perfectly avoided the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic.

But just a few seconds after meeting Ivan on that Muggle street, the other party recognized his real body, which is simply incredible.

Perhaps, this is where Ivan is different.

Sirius remembered the conversation he had with Dumbledore before, and he looked at Ivan carefully from head to toe.If there are no accidents, he believes that Ivan will eventually grow into a great wizard like Dumbledore.

"I have carefully studied this book and the notes you left behind. Obviously, names are magical, but it is very difficult to mark the names of all the people in Hogwarts on a piece of parchment. " Aiwen frowned and said, "Not to mention, the four of you have combined your simple ideas on the Marauder's Map. If you want to do this, magic theory is secondary. The most important point is to It takes very, very strong magic to back it up."

"The analysis is completely correct. If it is in class, I will definitely give you fifty points." Sirius put the magic book in hand aside, and said with a smile, "You guessed right, based on the four of us Even magic power can't do this."

"I heard from Professor Lupine that you have been helped by an item collected by the Centaur tribe. That item has powerful magic power." Ivan asked, "What exactly is it?"

"It's a pity, I don't know!" Sirius shook his head, "We didn't see the completed shape of that thing at the beginning, I remember it was a night, under the light of the stars, that thing reflected a soft light, possessed Very powerful magic."

"Light?!" Ivan was a little surprised.

"That's right, there is powerful magic power in those lights, it's incredible." Sirius recalled, "The four of us followed what the centaur said, and tried to get the item one by one, but no one succeeded. In the end Before leaving, James proposed to complete the production of the Marauder's Map there. We have studied it for a long time before, and we need a strong source of magic power to support it. Speaking of which, the parchment used to make the map is still James' spell For homework, luckily he was wearing it at the time."

Listening to Sirius' description, Ivan could imagine the whole process of making the Marauder's Map.

Since even Sirius didn't know what the key left by Gryffindor was, Ivan had to go and see it with his own eyes.

The question now is, what can be done to get the approval of the horse people? !

Chapter 265 Horseman's Approval

In the office, Sirius told Aiwen how they entered the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest and how they got their approval.

"After discovering that Remus was a werewolf, James, Peter and I started to learn Animagus. It was not as smooth as you, and it took us three full years to do this." Sirius said to Ivan, "In fifth grade, we learned to shapeshift. Since then, before the full moon, the three of us have traveled to the Shrieking Shack in animal form to keep company with Remus, who turned into a werewolf."

"Werewolves don't attack animals?!"

"Werewolves are only dangerous to humans and will not attack other animals." Sirius recalled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "At first, the four of us stayed in the screaming shack honestly, but there was nothing there, it was too much. Too boring. Now that we could all transform, we left there quickly and wandered around the school grounds, inside the castle, deep in the Forbidden Forest, and inside Hogsmeade at night. At that time, we were happy every month Vigorously formulate an adventure plan, and then execute according to the plan."

Following Sirius' description, a picture appeared in Ivan's mind.

In the dead of night, four animals venture into the ancient and mysterious Hogwarts, discovering the hidden secrets of the school.

From the number of secret passages marked on the Marauder's Map, it can be known that Sirius and the others must have traveled to many places, almost all of Hogwarts.

"In the second half of the fifth grade, I think it should be around May, we rescued a centaur during an adventure. While hunting, he was seriously injured by a violent horned llama. We chased the horned camel away, and after he thanked us, he invited the four of us to visit the centaur tribe deep in the Forbidden Forest."

Although Sirius described it lightly, Ivan knew the hardships involved.

The centaurs have never had a good impression of wizards. They don't allow humans to come to the Forbidden Forest casually, and they don't even think about visiting their tribe as guests.

However, the centaurs have extra preferential treatment for human children, and the centaur they rescued at that time must have been seriously injured, so they had the opportunity to send him back to the centaur tribe.

Because of the long-term brewing of potions, Aiwen is very familiar with horned camels.

The powder of Horned Camel Horn can be used to brew many important medicines, and it is an essential material.

But it's hard to get, so it's extremely expensive.

Aiwen knew very well how difficult it would be to defeat a violent horned camel.

You know, the horned camel is a huge, purple, slightly gray magical monster.It has a raised back, two very sharp long horns on its head, and walks with four-fingered paws.

In the past, wizards often saw giant monsters living in the mountains riding on horned animals in an attempt to tame them.But this is a waste of effort, horned camels are extremely aggressive by nature, so it is not a strange thing to see giant monsters with scars made by horned camels everywhere.

The poor centaur who was rescued by Sirius must have been seriously injured.Rather than inviting Sirius and the others to be guests in the centaur tribe, it would be better to say that they hoped that the four of them would send him back, otherwise the centaur would most likely die on the way.

"It's a big tribe, and the houses inside are also different from the usual ones." Sirius gestured with his hand and continued, "In the center of the tribe is a magnificent temple built of blue rocks. Very old, covered with green vines, very spectacular."

"Temple?!" Ivan repeated softly.

Not surprisingly, the things left by Gryffindor are in this temple.

Unable to explain why, Ivan recalled Professor Trelawney's prophecy: In that dark temple full of taboos, the Dark Lord's old magic will mark a chosen one, and he will help the re-emerged Dark Lord obtain unimaginable power.

Could the dark temple full of taboos be the one in the centaur tribe? !

Ai Wen suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if something big was about to happen.

"In order to thank us for saving the centaur, they decided to repay us." Sirius didn't notice Aiwen's abnormality, and he continued, "After some discussion, they told us that there is a treasure in the centaur tribe. The item left by Gryffindor himself. According to the agreement between their ancestors and Gryffindor, we can enter that temple and try to obtain that item..."

"Wait a minute, Sirius!" Ivan interrupted hastily, "You haven't said yet, what is the centaur's approval?"

"It seems to be related to the astrology." Sirius scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Actually, I don't know what's going on. I remember that a few very old centaurs looked up for a long time The stars, and then said that the four of us are connected with some destiny, meet the conditions, and can get their approval."

Astrology, omen, fate? !

What kind of horse people's approval, this is too hasty.

But Ai Wen lowered his head and thought about it carefully, this seems to be the style of the horseman.

For a long time, they have been persistently observing the trajectories of the planets, and interpreting the illusory fate and future from them.

Aiwen doesn't know if they can really see fate, but in terms of astrology and divination, the centaur obviously formed a unique theoretical system.

According to Sirius, Aiwen doesn't need to do anything to get the approval of the horse people.He only needs to go to the centaur tribe and let them look up at the stars in the night sky to know the final result.

It sounds absurd, but it is true.

Ivan suddenly recalled the centaur Firenze he met in the Forbidden Forest on the night of chasing Peter Pettigrew, and his words to himself.

About the omens given by Mars, and those who are chosen by fate...

He didn't understand it at the time, but now that he thinks about it carefully, what Firenze said can reflect Sirius' experience.

Does this mean that Aiwen has actually been recognized by the horse people? !

He carefully recalled what Firenze said at the time. Ivan still remembered that Firenze told himself that the planets would give clear signs to those chosen by fate.And the elders of the centaur tribe will make a clear request, asking him to do one thing for them.

Sirius and the others rescued a centaur at that time, and the planet showed that they were connected with the so-called destiny, so they could enter that temple.

The question now is, what will the horse people let Ivan do? !

He discussed with Sirius for a while, but also could not come to a definite answer.

"All in all, you'll have to try it out," concluded Sirius. "After the Quidditch match tomorrow, I can take you among the centaurs. We can take Harry, Ron, and Hermione with us." , let the three of them also go to see it."

Chapter 266 Quidditch Training

Ivan left Sirius' office and walked towards the library, thinking about things related to the centaur tribe.

Since he was going to the centaur tribe tomorrow, he had to be prepared.

Just in case, Aiwen is going to the library to study the trend of the constellation movement in recent days, and see what it represents.He remembered that there were a few magic books in the library that specifically introduced the centaur stargazing, which happened to be useful.

By the way, Harry, Ron and Hermione should be notified of this matter as soon as possible.

A few minutes later, just as Ivan came to the door of the library, he saw Harry running out of it panting. Behind him was the stern shout of the administrator Mrs. Pince, who was reprimanding Harry for being in the library. run around.

"What are you doing?" Ivan said in surprise, reaching out to stop Harry.

"I, I have something to do with you, Ivan!" Harry replied panting.

"Exactly, I have something to do with you." Ivan raised his head and looked around, and said in a low voice, "Do you still remember that I told you, Ron, and Hermione at the Burrow that Hogg About the secret treasure left by the four founders of Watts?"

Harry didn't expect Ivan to say this, he froze for a moment, his expression became serious, and he nodded cautiously.

"According to my reasoning, the treasure key left by Gryffindor is kept in the centaur tribe deep in the Forbidden Forest." Aiwen said, "I just discussed with Sirius, and he is going to take us around tomorrow night." Go to the centaur tribe alone."

Harry seemed very surprised to hear Ivan's words.

It took him a long time to understand what Ai Wen meant.

"You mean the magic item that Gryffindor himself left behind in the centaur tribe?!" Harry said incredulously, "Tomorrow night, Sirius will take the four of us Go look for it in the Forbidden Forest?!"

After seeing Ivan nodded for confirmation, Harry gradually became excited.

It is simply the best adventure to be able to explore the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest, find things left by Gryffindor himself, and explore unsolved mysteries for thousands of years.

It took a while before Harry calmed down.

"Tell Ron and Hermione about this, and let them both get ready." Ivan continued, "By the way, what did you just say to me?"

"I hope you can go to the field together to watch the last training before the Gryffindor team." Harry said excitedly. "Ron and Hermione are also there, and you can tell them about it."

"Wait a minute, Harry, just tell them two." Ivan said hurriedly, "I still have something to do, I'm going to the library to study the trajectory of the nearest constellation, which is very helpful for understanding the horses help."

"After the training is over, we can study together. Let's go, Ivan, Ron and Hermione are waiting for us on the field!" Harry didn't seem to hear Ivan's refusal, and couldn't help but push him to the Quidditch field. Walking in the direction, "You can't be in the library all the time, you need to relax and get some fresh air!"

"Okay!" Ivan thought for a while, he really needed Hermione's help.

His grades in stargazing are not particularly good. In this regard, Hermione may be able to give some professional advice.There are many places in arithmetic and divination that involve the orbits of planets. For a whole year, Hermione has been observing and recording.

You know, Hermione's grades in arithmetic and divination are the best in Hogwarts.

When Ivan was pulled to the Quidditch field by Harry, he found that everyone was standing on the edge of the field, and they were forming a circle, listening to Mrs. Hooch explaining the Firebolt.

Like everyone else, Madam Hooch has nothing but praise for the Firebolt.

She holds the Firebolt in her hand and does not hesitate to provide professional advice to everyone.

"Look at the balance. If there's one downside to the Nimbus series, it's that there's a slight slant in the tail section, and after a few years you'll often find that that slant develops into a hindrance. They also Improved broom handle, slightly thinner than the Sweep series, which reminds me of the old Silver Arrows, sadly they don't make Silver Arrows anymore, I learned to fly on Silver Arrows, it's a nice old broom. "

She talked a lot, and it wasn't until Wood reminded him to carry out training that Mrs. Hooch returned the Firebolt to Harry, walked to the edge of the stands and sat down.

Wood conveyed tactics to the team members, Ivan waved to Ron and Hermione, and the three of them climbed to the highest point of the stands, found a place where no one was around and sat down.

In the middle of the field, the Gryffindor Quiddlers all took off from the ground.

Ivan saw Harry flying in mid-air on a Firebolt. His speed was almost as fast as the wind, and he could only see a vague shadow.

"Harry, I let the Snitch out!" Wood shouted loudly, he was standing in the middle of the field, and waved to Harry in the air.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Harry spun down through the air.

He seemed to have no weight, straight down, his toes brushing the blades of grass on the field, and then stopped abruptly, his figure flashed lightly, and then flashed out from behind Wood, lightly holding the just released Golden Snitch.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

The ground remembered the deafening cheers of the Gryffindor team, and Harry let the Snitch roll to the ground again, let it roll for a minute, and then he sprinted over, weaving between his teammates.

A few seconds later, he spotted the Snitch lurking near Katie Bell's knee, and he slid around her lightly before grabbing it again.

"Great, the Firebolt is really the best!" Ron cheered loudly, "Come on, Harry, we will win tomorrow!"

Seeing Harry's performance, Hermione was also very happy.

The two of them looked the same as usual, but Ivan still keenly captured the faint tension and weirdness in the air.Something must have happened between Ron and Hermione, they hardly looked each other in the eye now.

Ivan shook his head, without thinking deeply.

In his opinion, Ron and Hermione's character was just like that.Quarreling or something is really normal for the two of them.
