Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Harry, do you have anything else to do?" he said softly.

"Well, Professor!" Harry hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Do you think he's getting stronger?"

"Voldemort?" Dumbledore looked at Harry and sighed softly. "Everything that happened recently shows that his power is growing, but it's not enough...Harry, you must understand that there is nothing in this world. There are too many forces, if he makes up his mind, we have no way to stop him, we can only choose the most suitable response."

Harry nodded half-understood, and from his expression, he didn't seem to understand much.

However, Aiwen is guessing, is the power that Dumbledore said is the power of evil gods?

Or, a more evil force?

This magical world is really not as simple as imagined.

There was another silence, and then, Harry started to ask some doubts about the trial he had just seen.

Bellatrix, Karkaroff, Barty Crouch Jr., Ludo Bagman, Neville's parents, and Snape!

Dumbledore patiently answered them one by one, and told Harry everything he knew except the question of why he believed Snape really no longer supported Voldemort.

Ivan was listening, and he could be sure that Dumbledore hadn't concealed it, even though there were many cruel past events.

As for Snape's question, Dumbledore said it was between the two of them.

After more than half an hour, Harry felt that he had no reason to stay.

He glanced at Ivan hesitantly, but didn't get up, wanting to hear what Ivan had to ask Dumbledore for.

"Harry, Ivan and I have to chat for a while, I want you to meet Sirius first!" Dumbledore said calmly, "He should have come from the secret passage of Hogsmeade, you can Put him with Hagrid."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Harry stood up and walked to the door, looking back at Dumbledore and Ivan.

Aiwen was staring at the Pensieve, as if he took the opportunity to regain his consciousness.

Standing behind the Pensieve, Dumbledore looked even older than before, his face illuminated by the flickering silver light in the Pensieve.

After Harry left, there was a long silence, and neither Ivan nor Dumbledore spoke.

Dumbledore looked at Ivan through the pensieve, with that kind of penetrating gaze.

It felt so bad that Ivan felt that Dumbledore could see through him completely, and he had to run Occlumency.

The pressure was building, he wasn't here to compete with Dumbledore in magic.

"Let Sirius come to Hogwarts, so you agree to that plan?" Ivan had to ask.

"I just said that there are too many powers in this world, too many powers that we don't understand!" Dumbledore said, "As long as the heart is evil enough, Voldemort can get a lot of help. Regarding the dream Harry mentioned, What do you think Voldemort is going to do with that fiend statue glowing red?"

"I don't know!" Ivan shook his head, he really didn't know what Voldemort was going to do with the statue of the evil god.

This is completely uncharted territory and everything can only be guesswork.

He didn't even know how Voldemort made the statue of the evil god glow. Isn't that thing already sealed? !

Dumbledore paced back and forth behind the desk, now and then putting the tip of his wand to his temple, and drew out a silvery thought, which he added to the Pensieve.

The thoughts in the basin spun rapidly, and Ivan couldn't see anything clearly, only a blur of silvery white.

Did Dumbledore remember anything about the evil god?

Chapter 684 Extracting Memory

Dumbledore didn't mean to explain, and there was no picture of memory in the Pensieve as before.

The silver-white memory is spinning rapidly, forming a vortex.

After another 2 minutes, he suddenly said, "Can you let me see your memory of seeing the evil god in the illusion?!"

Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No problem!"

After learning how to retrieve memories from Dumbledore, he retrieved that memory.

This is indeed a wonderful experience, as if something real has been taken from the body.

White thoughts surged at the tip of Aiwen's stick. At the moment when the memory gushed out of his body, he felt an inexplicable and strange feeling that reached the deepest part of his soul, and even his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

The strange feeling disappeared in a flash, but after the memory was retrieved, Aiwen obviously found a difference.

He could remember everything about his trip to the centaur tribe with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Sirius that night, but there was a blank space about his experience in the vision of Gryffindor, as if it had disappeared out of thin air .

It's not simply forgetting, because he can be sure that there is such a thing, and he also knows a general idea.

But I can't remember it anyway, and I have no way to tell others, only I can know.

This magic is really amazing, beyond Ivan's previous expectations.

He originally thought that the extracted memory was just a backup, but it was actually not that simple.

It is a very profound and unpopular skill to be able to cut up one's own memory at will.

It must be used with a Pensieve to show the effect. Ivan has never seen it in any book before.

It suddenly occurred to him that he might be able to extract and preserve memories that he did not want others to know.

In this way, there is no need to worry about being discovered by others, especially Dumbledore.

In addition to the Pensieve, other containers for storing memories should also work.

To be on the safe side, Aiwen is going to go back and double his knowledge about alchemy to see if there are any relevant records.

He put the memory into the churning Pensieve, and Dumbledore watched silently.

Ai Wen also accompanied him to watch his experience, and they didn't come out until the terrifying evil god showed his whole face.

"I have seen some things in the past and heard about such terrible creatures as evil gods." Dumbledore said slowly, "In some sects that teach primitive mysticism, there are still Retaining the worship of the ancient gods, they hope to destroy the world and let these ancient evil gods return to their past dominance."

"For example, Raven's Claw?" Ivan asked, thinking of this organization.

"You know this ancient organization, and the Raven's Claw is indeed one of them!" said Dumbledore, "They think that Rowena Ravenclaw left at Hogwarts about a The remaining information of the Crow God wants to completely destroy this school to find those information. It’s a crazy idea, isn’t it? But they firmly believe in it, and it used to be popular for a while.”

"That's true!" Aiwen said, "From the information we have obtained so far, it is not completely impossible."

"This is the scariest part. Those ancient evil gods really existed, but we have just forgotten them!" Dumbledore stared at Ivan and said calmly, "Voldemort is doing some very dangerous things, but He himself doesn't realize it, or doesn't care at all. Yes, I know him well enough that he doesn't care..."

After a long time, Dumbledore sighed again, looking even older and tired.

"What should we do?" Ivan asked, he wanted to know what Dumbledore was going to do.

"With regard to the evil gods, it's not that there is no way to deal with them, but I'm not sure yet," said Dumbledore. "Besides, this is not a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Voldemort will not summon the evil gods recklessly. He is not one of those horses." People. But you are right, Evan, it is very unwise to prevent Voldemort from returning this time and let him continue to lurk, and it is also very bad for us."

"So, you agree with my plan?!" Ivan asked again.

He was very dissatisfied with Dumbledore's way of not telling everything until the last moment.

There is a lot of information, and he doesn't seem to intend to tell Ivan.

Sure enough, Dumbledore still did not give a clear answer, but continued to ask rhetorically, "You should already understand the principle and production method of Horcruxes. I know that you have taken a lot of black magic books from the Black family."

Ai Wen nodded and did not deny that this matter could not withstand investigation at all.

Since Dumbledore asked such a question, it means that the other party already knew about it and acquiesced to it.

"That's why you came to those inferences." Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, and continued, "How many Horcruxes do you think Voldemort will make?"

"I don't know!" Ivan paused, and added, "Probably seven!"

"Yes, seven is indeed a very magical number, and I think so too." Dumbledore said, "But we still need to be sure, we must be sure..."

"Although I don't know how many Horcruxes he made, I destroyed another one not long ago!" Ai Wen said.

He directly took out the broken Ravenclaw's diadem and placed it in front of Dumbledore.

In front of the crown, Ivan finally saw a trace of surprise on Dumbledore's face, although it disappeared soon.

"This Horcrux has been destroyed by me, but I need a complete crown, it is a very important magic item!" Aiwen said, "So, I want to use your wand to restore it to its integrity. You know, I'm not that powerful."

"Ravenclaw's crown, this is the third one!" Dumbledore looked at Ivan very seriously, "To be honest, it is really surprising. Ivan, you are really outstanding, surpassing me time and time again." What I expected from you, really..."

He didn't ask Ivan where he found the crown, and how he deduced that it was a Horcrux.

This is probably the advantage of Dumbledore, allowing Ivan to have his own secrets. Although he will try his best to explore these secrets, at least he has a bottom line and persistence, unlike Voldemort. .

By the way, there is another point, the premise is that the person must be trusted by him and be identified as one of his own.

Otherwise, Dumbledore's means will not be less than Voldemort's, but will be more clever, hard to guard against!

Chapter 685 The upcoming plan

"Restored as before!" Dumbledore gently touched the diadem on the desk with the Elder Wand.

Ravenclaw's diadem made a constant, slight crunch, echoing through the room.

Like the sound of wind chimes swinging, the broken crown trembled slightly on the table.

Then, it floated up and spun rapidly in mid-air, the speed getting faster and faster...

By the time it fell, the fracture had been reconnected, and the two parts that had been split were merged into one.

The crown fell gently into Dumbledore's hands, just like when Ivan saw it for the first time.

Looking at the crown in Dumbledore's hand, Ivan knew that he had succeeded. This is the power of the old wand, which is beyond imagination.

Since it was made, it has been kept in the hands of the strongest, serving only the strongest wizards.

The Elder Wand has infinite magical powers, and can even successfully restore Ravenclaw's diadem, which is also a legendary magic item.

In Dumbledore's hands, the crisp sound of the crown lasted for a long time before it gradually stopped.

It is still ordinary and ordinary, a simple rusty ring, so low-key and unobtrusive.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings!"

Dumbledore looked carefully at the crown in his hand, and said with interest, "This is a magical item of extraordinary value. It once belonged to the ancient Ravenclaw family. Yes, this is not its original appearance , I can feel the magic in it, which blocks the power of the crown itself."

"Is it Voldemort's power?!" Ivan still remembered that Voldemort used magic to transform the crown.

"I'm afraid not!" said Dumbledore, examining the inscription on the crown. "Tom seems to have a soft spot for collecting the belongings of the founder of Hogwarts, but all the magic and soul he left on it have been lost." Disappear, this is another special kind of magic."

"Special magic?"

"It's a strange power, but it's powerful!" Dumbledore closed his eyes to feel it, and added, "It's a special seal!"

Ivan can't feel anything, and he still has a certain gap with Dumbledore in this respect.

It is said that Ravenclaw's diadem can increase wisdom and make the wearer wiser.

Helena once stole the diadem from her mother, but got nothing in the end.

Does this mean that the sealing magic that made the crown useless and its original appearance was already on the crown before it was stolen.

"Professor, what should I do to restore it to its original state?" Ivan asked.

"This requires you to use your ingenuity!" Dumbledore said with a smile, and handed the crown to Ivan. "According to rumors, only the smartest people are qualified to find it and own this crown. It now belongs to You have it all, and I hope you can unlock the secrets of Ravenclaw!"

He didn't seem to intend to help Ivan solve this problem, but instead continued to turn the topic back to Voldemort.

"Ivan, about the plan you said last time. To be honest, I don't agree very much!" Dumbledore said, looking at Ivan through the Pensieve, "Because it is too dangerous, we cannot make a decision easily ...but you're right, there really isn't a solution to the current problem without taking risks."

He looked at Ivan very seriously, his light blue eyes were shining.

After Keressis left, Ivan had a long talk with Dumbledore.

He told Dumbledore the information Keresis told him, the conspiracy about Voldemort, and related plans, hoping to follow the development of the original story and use Barty Crouch Jr.'s arrangement to send Harry to Voldemort with his blood. Help Voldemort return.

The plan was bold and straightforward.If you don't know that Harry is also a Horcrux, anyone who hears about this plan will think that Ivan is crazy and is actually helping Voldemort, but this is currently the only way to completely solve Voldemort.

Only by letting Voldemort use Harry's blood would their bond grow stronger.

Harry's mother's blood curse magic will act on two people at the same time, protecting Harry in another way.

As long as Voldemort does not die, Harry will not die, in order to destroy Voldemort's soul fragment stored in his body.

Because of the connection between souls, the whole process must be done by Voldemort himself.

What Dumbledore needs to consider is to let Voldemort do it willingly, to kill himself with his own hands...

Voldemort didn't know this yet, he was just blindly pursuing great power, hoping to escape death.

But the moment when he became the strongest was also the moment when he was closest to death!

It was after confirming Dumbledore's thoughts that Ivan dared to say all these things.

Voldemort desperately wanted to return, leaving Dumbledore with little time left.

Continuing to delay will only make Voldemort stronger and more difficult to deal with after gaining the power of the evil god.
