Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Professor, what should we do?" Ivan asked hastily.

Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were also asking Dumbledore about this, wondering what the clues he just said were.

"Don't worry, we have to come one by one!"

Dumbledore waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "First of all, I want to go to the Ministry of Magic, and I must have a warrant from the Minister of Magic to go there, and I must explain to Fudge about what happened tonight, Black The appearance of the magic mark is not something that can be joked about, even if not many people notice it."

Ivan froze for a moment, and went to the Ministry of Magic to find Fudge for a warrant? !

He didn't know where and what the place Dumbledore was talking about referred to, and he needed the permission of the Minister of Magic to enter.

He looked into Dumbledore's eyes, his head was spinning rapidly, and then he thought of something.

Aiwen recalled that a few months ago, when he talked to the principal alone about the experience of catching Peter Pettigrew, he mentioned that Peter was in Professor Lupin's office, hoping to use the solution to the curse that Voldemort left in the centaur tribe Beg yourself to let him go.

He still remembered that the other party said at the time that without that method, he would never be able to get the Sorcerer's Stone left by Gryffindor.

Ivan didn't care about it at the time, but now it seems that this is the case.

This is indeed part of the clue, and since Peter Pettigrew knows the way to break the curse, it can be deduced from it what the curse is.

From this point of view, it is indeed necessary to ask Peter Pettigrew.

And this guy is currently in the wizard prison of Azkaban, guarded by countless dementors. If he wants to go there, he must get permission from Fudge.

Although there was no communication, Dumbledore seemed to know what Ivan was thinking, and he nodded, confirming that Ivan's thoughts were correct.

"Although this curse has not had a great impact on Mr. Mason at present, I think the speed of cracking must be as fast as possible!" Dumbledore said, "I am going to take him to find these two clues. In the event of an accident, we may be away for a long time."

Chapter 372 The Person Chosen by the Dark Lord

It was already the end of the semester, and the school year exams for the little wizards had just finished. After the results came out, Hogwarts would usher in a long summer vacation.

Listening to the meaning in Dumbledore's words, I hope Ivan can follow him to pursue these two clues.

They're going away for a long time, which means they're going on vacation with new and fantastic adventures.

Azkaban, the wizard prison, the unknown hideout of the fallen centaurs, and the terrifying evil god from the void, Ivan felt excited just thinking about it.

This time, with Dumbledore by his side, there shouldn't be any surprises.

"I'm going too, this matter is my responsibility." Sirius stood up and said excitedly, "I must help Ivan break the spell."

"I can promise you, but you must promise to obey my orders completely in case of danger, can you do it?" Dumbledore looked at Sirius.

"Of course!" Sirius nodded hurriedly without any hesitation.

"Very well, we'll set off tomorrow morning and go to the Ministry of Magic to meet Fudge first." Dumbledore turned his head to look at Professor McGonagall and Snape, "Minerva, Severus, I'm not here at this time, Ho Everything about Gwartz is handled by the two of you. If you encounter something that cannot be resolved, you know how to contact me!"

"Don't worry, Albus!" Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said, she stepped forward to hug Ivan tightly, sent her blessings, and rubbed his hair.

"I have no objection," said Snape, looking maliciously at Sirius, "but what I just said, regarding the responsibility for the whole incident, I hope..."

"Don't worry about it, I'll make a resignation application." Sirius looked back at Snape sternly, "If it makes you feel better, Snotluck."

A flush appeared on Snape's gloomy face, and he put his right hand on his wand, as if hesitating whether to pull it out, and then snorted heavily.

"This is exactly what I've been dreaming of. Since you have decided so, I don't have time and no need to continue arguing with a reckless idiot. It's the middle of the night now. If there is nothing else, I hope to go back sleep."

Snape nodded to Dumbledore and turned to leave the ward.

"Professor, you won't really let Sirius leave, will you?" Harry asked hastily after Snape disappeared, "He is our best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"Don't worry about me, Harry!" Before Dumbledore could speak, Sirius replied for him, "Snape is right, I must take responsibility and pay for my mistakes, I hope you can Get that."

Harry nodded half-understood, as if he wanted to say something more, his face was full of worry.

"Sirius, now that you have made a decision, I will accept your application. The position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is always prone to vacancies. It seems that we have to worry about new candidates again!" Dumbledore calmly Said, turning to look at Ivan, "You have to carry this Sorcerer's Stone with you so that you can absorb the magic power in it at any time. I noticed that you are carrying Slytherin's locket, you may be able to put it there go inside."

Ivan nodded, and took off the locket hanging around his neck.

He gently opened the lid of the box with the large S letter inlaid with the Slytherin family crest, and put the Philosopher's Stone in.I don't know if it's a coincidence, but this irregularly shaped piece of magic just fits in, occupying half of the space.

Judging by the size, it seems that this locket was originally used to hold the Philosopher's Stone.

"Very good, very good!" Dumbledore exclaimed, as if he had known this for a long time, his eyes turned to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "Children, if there are no other questions, I hope you To be able to go back to the hospital bed and get some sleep."

"Professor, can we follow those two clues with you?" Hermione summoned up her courage and asked, looking at Ivan worriedly.

"Yes, I want to go too!" Harry continued, "We all want to do something for Ivan and help him break the curse left by Voldemort."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think the three of you can participate in this matter." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "I have no right to take you away from the entire summer vacation to face dangers far beyond your capabilities. You You should go back home, or your parents and family members will be worried."

"But Sirius is my godfather, he is my guardian!" Harry said, "He is my only relative, and wherever he is, I will follow there."

"Harry, I'm glad you can say that!" Sirius said relievedly, "but I think Dumbledore is right, you can't follow us on our adventures."

"But……"

"Harry, you have to go back to your uncle and aunt's house during the summer vacation. From a blood point of view, they are your only relatives." Dumbledore said in an unquestionable tone, as if he did not want to discuss this matter "Okay, you three should go back to the hospital bed now, I hope to talk to our horse friends, and write a letter to Alvin's parents by the way, in a way that Muggles can understand, Explain the ins and outs of the matter."

Dumbledore walked towards Firenze who was waiting at the door. He seemed to want to return to the centaur tribe with the other party to learn more about the whole incident.

Soon, only Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were left in the ward.

Madam Pomfrey blew out the candle, seeing darkness in front of her eyes.

Ai Wen lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. He stared blankly at the snake-shaped mark on his wrist.

Beside him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were also facing their chaotic thoughts.

They chatted for a long time, talking a lot from tonight's centaur tribal adventure.

In the end, Ivan comforted Hermione for a long time before she could feel at ease.

Before they knew it, all four of them fell asleep.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the bleak moonlight found the ward along the window and shone on a hospital bed by the window. If someone came over at this time, they would be able to clearly see the incomparably clear Dark Mark on the back of the neck of the child on the hospital bed .

The boa constrictor drilled out of the skull's mouth seemed to be alive, its eyes flashed maliciously, and then disappeared in an instant.

The entire mark slowly disappeared into the skin as if it had never existed before.

Professor Trelawney's prophecy came true. Voldemort marked the chosen one with his magic, and he will gain unimaginable power from then on.

Will these powers come from that terrifying evil god? !

Chapter 373 The Ministry of Magic

At 05:30 the next morning, Ivan suddenly woke up fully, as if someone had yelled into his ear.

He lay there motionless, and slowly, he remembered what he was going to do.

He will go to the Ministry of Magic with Dumbledore and Sirius to meet the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and get permission to enter the wizard prison Azkaban.

Ai Wen got up from the bed, the sun had not yet risen, and the ward was dark.

Everyone else was sleeping except him.

Harry was curled up tightly under the covers, while Ron was stretched out on his back, his mouth open, sound asleep.

Ivan turned to look at Hermione, only to find that the girl had already woken up.

She was staring at herself in a daze, with tears that could not be concealed in the corners of her eyes.

"Best trip, Ivan!" Hermione whispered, leaning over and hugging Ivan tightly.

She didn't cry, and the expression on her face was extraordinarily strong.

"I know!" Ivan replied softly, "You also take care, take care of yourself during the holidays."

Hermione nodded slowly, a twinkle in her beautiful chestnut eyes.

With Hermione's temperature and sweet scent on his body, Ivan walked across the room and finally waved to her.

He came to the hall outside the ward, and gently closed the door behind his back.

Immediately, Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, trying not to think that he might not be able to break the curse, and that he would never see Hermione again.

He walked out of the school hospital and prepared to go to Dumbledore's office as agreed.

The narrow and dark corridor was also quiet. The murals on the walls were all sleeping and snoring loudly. There was a red fire dragon with an obviously disproportionate body lying on the ground, and sparks spewed from its mouth from time to time.

Aiwen thought that not long ago, he had really killed a fire dragon in the centaur tribe, but that happened in an illusion after all.

It sounds a little unreal, let alone 800 years ago.

Passing down a flight of stairs that turned and turned, he saw Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, staring at him from a corner with yellow eyes the size of copper bells.

Ivan waved his hand, and Mrs. Norris rushed over with a low cry.

It suddenly occurred to him that he didn't know the password through the two statues at the door of Dumbledore's office, and he wasn't sure what name of the candy to use to crack it.

When he walked to that corridor, he heard a voice near the statue.

Dumbledore and Sirius had already been there waiting for him. The two of them seemed to have just returned from outside the castle.

Seeing him walking over, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Good morning, Ivan!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "We just came back from the centaur tribe, you should have not had breakfast like us, I ordered the house elves to prepare something, there is still time, I Guess we can finish eating before we head out."

They entered Dumbledore's office, which was as amazing as what Ivan had seen before. There were many strange-shaped items on the table. Phoenix Fox stood there motionless, his eyes tightly closed.

The portraits of the previous principals on the walls are all sleeping too, but these old foxes are all pretending.

They opened their eyes from time to time, secretly looking at Ivan and Sirius.

Dumbledore lit the fireplace with his wand, and the warm flame rose up suddenly, dispelling the cold in the room. He knocked on the round table next to the fire, sandwiches, eggs, desserts, milk and coffee Wait for the food to appear in sequence.

"I wrote a letter to your parents, explaining the matter, and asking them to allow me to take care of you temporarily during the upcoming summer vacation." Dumbledore took out a lavender envelope from his pocket and handed it to Ai Wen said calmly, "You can send this letter and your own letter to them together."

Ivan took the letter, with the Hogwarts school emblem printed on the upper left corner.

The name and address of his parents are written in the middle, which is Dumbledore's unique round font.

"Okay, you can think about what you want to say to them. Even if everything goes well, it will take about a month for us to come back. But now, you should have breakfast first and try this sandwich. Do you need some more honey? ?” Dumbledore pointed to the plate in front of Ivan, “I like a sweeter taste.”

"Thank you!" Ivan just picked up the sandwich, and a new piece appeared on the plate.

The house elf's craftsmanship is very good, and Ivan thinks this sandwich is very delicious.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Sirius asked, pouring himself a cup of coffee.

"Very good!" Ivan replied, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

He tried not to think about the curse on his arm, but as soon as his mind was free, the horrible evil god and Voldemort's always followed.

He shook his head, forcing himself to think about other things.For example, Hermione, she has a cute expression when she laughs, but in the end the picture always freezes when the girl just bids her farewell to her, and she is trying not to cry.

Dumbledore and Sirius were still there discussing matters in the centaur tribe, and Ivan listened absently.

He's glad they didn't ask him to join the conversation, and he's struggling to eat the delicious sandwich in his hands without thinking about it at all.

"It's almost time, I think we should start!" About half an hour later, Dumbledore stood up, "I probably need to talk to Fudge for a long time, and you can finish the letter to your parents there."

As soon as he finished speaking, and didn't see any movement, the small red flame in the fireplace in front of Ivan suddenly turned green, and the flame was burning vigorously.

"Under normal circumstances, the fireplaces of Hogwarts are not in the Floo network, but you can apply for a temporary link if necessary." Dumbledore blinked at Ivan, "You should have used the Floo network Right?! Just walk in and yell about the Ministry of Magic where we're going."

Ivan nodded, and under the watchful eyes of Dumbledore and Sirius, he walked into the fireplace burning with green flames and shouted, "Ministry of Magic!"

His body was quickly sucked into the flames, everything in front of him was spinning, and after a while of spinning around, he got out from the other end of the fireplace.

At this time, he was standing at the end of a long and resplendent hall.

The ground is a polished dark wooden floor, and the peacock-blue ceiling is inlaid with gleaming golden symbols, which are constantly moving and changing, like a huge high-altitude bulletin board.

The walls on all sides were paneled with dark, glossy black wood, and around him, many gilded fireplaces were embedded in the wood panels, neatly arranged in a row.

"Go forward, don't block the door!"

A man's voice sounded behind Ai Wen, and he hurried forward.

Behind him, every few seconds, with a soft pop, a wizard popped out of one of the fireplaces to the left.

On the right, there are several people waiting to leave in front of each fireplace.

Chapter 374 Security Check

This is the British Ministry of Magic, and Ivan is here for the first time.

Dumbledore and Sirius hadn't come yet, green flames flickered from time to time in the golden fireplace, and he was crowded forward by the stream of people coming from the fireplace.
