Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

He turned a blind eye to the four warriors and focused all his attention on Ivan.

"I have nothing to tell you, get out of the way!" Ivan said angrily, "I warned you before, Ms. Skeeter, if you continue like this, you will definitely be in bad luck."

"Really?!" Rita Skeeter didn't care about Ivan's words at all, but became very excited, "Are you threatening me?! In order to cover up the truth, what are you going to do to innocent reporters? ?!"

Ivan ignored her, turned around and left, and walked towards the castle with Hermione.

Rita Skeeter stood by the bush and watched his back, the quill was writing excitedly.

Although Ivan didn't say anything, his attitude is enough to explain everything.

Everyone separated near Hagrid's cabin. Today was too tiring, and everyone wanted to have a good rest.

Fred and George took Ginny and Colin back to the castle ahead of time, saying they were preparing for the surprise party.

Not surprisingly, the four of them should plan to go to the kitchen to get some delicious food.

Now, only Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were left, and they walked back slowly.

"Don't worry, Ron!" said Harry. "I don't think the other two projects can be so dangerous. Absolutely impossible. They can't find anything more dangerous than a dragon."

"You can't relax your vigilance. The fire dragon has nothing to be afraid of. The most dangerous thing is the conspiracy hidden in the dark." Ai Wen said.

He still remembered what the ultimate goal of the Triwizard Tournament was, and he couldn't take it lightly.

While helping Ron pass the competition, he also trained Harry to become stronger as soon as possible, so as not to hold back at critical moments.

Although there is no pressure from the Tournament, Harry has definitely received a lot of experience.

Voldemort is his destined enemy, only one of them can win, and no one can change that.

"Evan is right. There is still a long way to go to complete this competition." Hermione said seriously, "The first project is so dangerous. I really don't want to imagine what will happen next."

"You two, want to see some light!" said Ron in a relaxed tone.

Holding the golden egg, he felt unprecedented satisfaction!

Chapter 597 The Noise Inside the Golden Egg

As they entered the Gryffindor common room, cheers and noise erupted again.

Tables and chairs were piled high with mountains of cake, jugs of pumpkin juice and butterbeer.

Lee Jordan set off some Filipard fireworks, and there were many stars and sparks in the air.

Dean Thomas, who is good at painting, hangs several eye-catching new banners, including the scene of Ron flying around the Chinese fireball on the Firebolt, and the scene of Alvin using the magical barrier to resist the flames and defeat the fire dragon.

The huge banner in the middle kept changing, and on it, Ivan stood out from the crowd alone, holding his wand high.

Opposite him is a ferocious and terrifying dragon, with its fangs bared and flames spewing out of its mouth.

In the next second, the screen changed, and the dragon flew backwards like a bug.

Below the banner, all Gryffindors are celebrating, laughing and eating delicious food.

Everyone came over to talk to Ivan and Ron, asking for more details, and many people expressed their gratitude to Ivan.

They were also in that stand at the time, and if Ivan hadn't saved them, they might have been hit by the fireball.

Ron was no longer so nervous. He passed the first project and faced the second project three months later.

"My God, this thing is quite heavy!" Lee Jordan held the golden egg on the table and weighed it with both hands.

"Of course, I dare say, it must be pure gold!"

"Open it up, Ron, let's see what's in there!"

"Come on, turn it on!" Several people responded.

"Okay!" Ron muttered, also very curious.

He took the golden egg from Lee and dug his fingernails into a ring of grooves on the egg to pry it open.

It was empty, nothing.

But the moment Ron opened it, a terrifying, piercing scream filled the room.

They'd only heard a similar sound before at Nick's Deathday party, the noise of the Ghosts playing with a musical saw.

"Shut it!" Fred yelled, putting his hands to his ears.

Ron slammed the golden egg shut, panting.

"what is that?"

"It's all horrible noise, maybe the guy to deal with on the next project."

"Sounds like a witch, Ron, you might have to pass a witch next time!" said Seamus Finnigan.

"No, it looks like someone is being tortured, screaming in pain!" Neville said, his face pale, and he scattered the sausage meat on the ground, looking at Ron uneasily, "You, what you have to deal with is Ruan Xin curse!"

"Don't be silly, Neville, it's not legal!" said George. "They can't cast the Cruciatus Curse on a warrior. I think it sounds a bit like Percy singing. Maybe you'll be in his shower." Time to attack him."

"Haha, in a sense, Percy is scarier than a dragon."

This noise is the singing of the mermaid, and it is best to put the golden egg under the water, but Ai Wen didn't say it.

After everyone guessed wildly, Ron put the golden egg away.

He is not going to rely on everyone's help first, think about it with his own ability, and solve this mystery alone as a warrior.

After passing the baptism of the fire dragon, Ron did grow a lot.

Regardless of whether he can succeed in the end, this is a good sign.

"Let's talk about something else, don't sit around, would you like a brioche, Hermione?"

Hermione eyed the plate he offered suspiciously, and Fred grinned maliciously.

"Don't worry!" he said, "I didn't do anything to them, it's the biscuits you need to watch out for..."

Neville had just taken a bite of the biscuit when he choked and spat it out.

Fred and George laughed and looked at Neville.

"I was just kidding, Neville..."

"Speaking of which!" Hermione picked up a brioche. "You got these from the kitchen, Fred?!"

"Yeah," Fred said, grinning at her.

He choked out a squeaky voice, imitating a house-elf, "We can get you anything, sir! They're so kind, and if I say I'm a little hungry, they'll give me something to eat." Roast a cow."

"How did you get in?" Hermione asked in a casual, casual tone.

"Convenient!" said Fred. "There's a door hidden behind the picture of the bowl of fruit, and you just scratch the pear a little, and it'll giggle, and..."

He stopped suddenly and looked at her warily.

"Why, why do you ask this?"

"Nothing," Hermione said quickly.

"You want to lead the house-elves to strike again, don't you?!" George asked. "You're going to give up those leaflets and stuff and mobilize them to rebel?"

A few people giggled amusedly, but Hermione didn't answer.

Based on Ivan's understanding of her, Hermione obviously planned this way.

"Don't mess with their minds, tell them they have to wear clothes and get paid!" Fred warned Hermione, kicking Ivan lightly under the table, "You'll make them not want to cook !"

As for fighting for the rights of the house elves, Aiwen couldn't persuade Hermione to give up.

Moreover, he has made it clear that he will support her, although Ai Wen has not actually done anything.

Just then, Neville suddenly turned into a big canary, temporarily distracting everyone.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Neville!" Fred jumped up and shouted amidst everyone's laughter, regardless of Hermione, "I forgot, this is our enchanted biscuit, the finished canary biscuit! "

In less than a minute, Neville took off his feathers, and when all the feathers fell off, his appearance was completely normal again.

He even laughed along with the others, thinking the transforming cookie was funny.

George explained to Ivan that he and Fred have been experimenting since the summer vacation and have been making continuous improvements. These are finished products, which are a step further than the last time they saw the deformed candy that made Dudley grow pigtails. Also more interesting.

"Come on, here's the canary biscuit!" Fred shouted to the excited crowd, "the latest product invented by me and George, the most perfect deformation state, seven silver Sickles a piece, now available for pre-order, very soon It's cheap!"

Interested little wizards have ordered from him, and Weasley's jokes are now very popular.

As soon as a new product appears, the supply is often in short supply, and many people even buy it and sell it to students in other colleges.

Some time ago, Fred and George even discussed with Ivan that they wanted to promote it among the students of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, so as to open up foreign markets. I don't know how the two of them are doing.

Chapter 598 The First Headmaster

The crowd was noisy, and the little wizards were all around Fred and George, waiting for more mischief products from the two of them.

Pig tail candies and canary biscuits were a hit, and there was a constant chugging and morphing sound from the crowd.

Only Hermione didn't go up to join in the fun. She curled up quietly on the sofa, squinting at the fire in the fireplace.

The flames flickered, Hermione's bright brown eyes gleamed, and she frowned slightly as if she was trying to think hard.

Seeing her appearance, Ivan knew that she must still be obsessed with the house elf in the kitchen.

He knew Hermione so well, knowing how to get into the kitchen, she must be planning to do something in it.

Sure enough, in the middle of the orgy, she sneaks out by herself.

Ivan, who had been paying attention to Hermione, sighed and hurriedly followed.

In the dim corridor, hearing footsteps behind her, Hermione turned around like a kitten.

"What are you doing with me?" She looked at Ivan in surprise.

"I know you're going to find house elves in the kitchen, and I'll go with you." Ivan said seriously.

When he was wandering and adventurous in the castle at night several times before, he also went to the kitchen to see it, but he didn't go deep.

Picture this picture, in the middle of the night, you sneak into the school kitchen to get something to eat.

As soon as you entered, you were surrounded by a group of house elves who appeared out of nowhere and reached your knee height.

They stare at the big eyes of the light bulb, look at the master respectfully, and ask what you need in a shrill voice.

Before you can speak, more house-elves will appear one after another, light the fire, and take the initiative to cook food.

You're just a little hungry and going to the kitchen to see if there are any leftover biscuits, pies, etc. from dinner, but these house-elves will be more than enthusiastic to prepare a feast for you.

They can even burn a cow if need be.

Even though it was already midnight, even though they were surprised from their sleep because of your intrusion, even though it was very troublesome to cook those delicacies, and despite all the difficulties, they never complained.

The house-elf will only ask, in humble tones, if you are satisfied and if you need more food.

If the expression on your face is slightly dissatisfied, they will take the initiative to punish themselves, with great sincerity...

This situation is so embarrassing, Ivan has only experienced it once and doesn't want to try it again.

After that, whenever he wanted to eat, he just told Dobby to prepare it for him and bring it to the common room.

Regardless of whether Hermione's concept of protecting the rights of house-elves is correct or not, Aiwen believes that it is indeed necessary to change the thinking of house-elves appropriately. There is really no need for them to do this, even if they are slaves of wizards. so……

This is also the main reason why Ivan plans to accompany Hermione to the kitchen tonight, and he also wants to do something for the house elves.

Also, considering that Hermione might be overly excited after seeing so many house-elves...

Ivan thought it necessary to keep an eye on her to prevent Hermione from doing anything bad.

In addition, he has consulted a lot of information about Helga Hufflepuff's life, and has guessed about the location of the key to the secret treasure left by her.

He believes that the key to the treasure left by Hufflepuff is likely to be in the hands of house elves or in the kitchen.

We all know that Helga Hufflepuff was the greatest wizard of his time.

In the historical evaluation, her final achievement surpassed the other three founders.

Unlike Slytherin who suddenly left the school and had no news or records in the second half of her life, Hufflepuff has stayed in the school since the establishment of Hogwarts. She dedicated her whole life to Hogwarts, Until death finally comes.

Hufflepuff is the longest-lived of the four founders and the first headmaster of Hogwarts.

Anyone who has read "A Piece of Hogwarts History" will know that at the beginning of the story, the four founders jointly founded Hogwarts, leaving behind many legends.

But the second half of the story is Hufflepuff's solo, and her countless days and nights of hard work have made Hogwarts grow stronger by herself.
