Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Soon, even Madame Maxime lost her last trace of patience.

She had a big fight with Hagrid because of this. The two of them had a crush on each other. This trip was also a good opportunity to get to know each other better, but because of Glop, everything went badly. They didn't have a relationship that started. It might end there.

Just like that, when it took them more than a month to arrive in France, when Hagrid once again proposed to let Ivan, Sirius, and Madam Maxim leave first, no one objected, and they separated from Hagrid just like that!

Before Ivan walked into the carriage, he looked back at Hagrid worriedly. He was standing in the wilderness and waving his hands vigorously to them. His hair was messed up, his face was covered with scars, and blood was dripping continuously. Behind him, Gropp was run in the opposite direction...

Ivan doubts whether he can really bring this giant back, which is an impossible task.

……

When Alvin and Sirius returned to England, the school year was drawing to a close and the long summer holidays were about to begin.

They used the Floo network to return to Dumbledore's office directly from Madam Maxim's fireplace. Even though it was past ten o'clock in the evening, Dumbledore seemed to be waiting for the two of them as expected.

"Good evening, Ivan, Sirius, I received your previous letter, and your speed is slower than I expected. It seems that things are not going as smoothly as expected!" Dumbledore said calmly, He tapped the table lightly with his wand, and three cups of steaming coffee appeared, "Okay, I think you should have a lot to tell me."

Next, the two of them described in detail what happened during the trip.

Including the state of the giant's territory, the actions of the Death Eaters, the scabbard of the Gryffindor sword, the Cyclops, the dark wizard of Raven's Claw, and the city under the sea, the ruins under the maelstrom and the Titan Chronos Wait, that's very detailed.

Of course, Ivan didn't tell everything about what the Titan Kronos told him, and concealed something.

Those contents were too shocking to say all of them, but what Ivan told Dumbledore was beyond imagination. There were many places, and even Dumbledore expressed quite surprise, but he quickly accepted it!

"You guys are doing a good job, better than I imagined, even if I was there, I wouldn't have done a better job." Dumbledore said mildly, fingers of both hands crossed together, "We have to take measures to deal with possible The giant who joined Voldemort's army, about the dark wizard in Raven's Claw and the ancient ruins, Nico also talked to me before, we should be prepared..."

"Do we need to do anything, Professor?" Ivan asked.

"Well, Sirius, I hope you are going on a long trip to Norway to do something for the Order of the Phoenix..." Dumbledore said, his blue eyes turned to Ivan, "As for you, Ivan , there is nothing you need to do for the time being, since the final exam has just ended, you can leave school early and go home to accompany your parents. But I still have to ask, do you have any arrangements during the holiday?"

"I want to go to Egypt. Nicole Flamel told me that the Emerald Records there are very helpful for alchemy." Ivan paused and added, "I want to invite Hermione to go with her. To travel, and this time there is no danger."

"Egypt is a very fascinating country. Mysterious ancient spells, wizard's magic and African witchcraft blend perfectly in that place. There are also ancient historical relics beyond imagination. It is very helpful for you to understand the things of that ancient era. Helpful." Dumbledore said with a smile, "As for Miss Granger, I think she will be very happy with your invitation..."

Ivan understood what Dumbledore meant. He wanted Harry to stay quietly at his uncle and aunt's house during the summer vacation without being disturbed.

After Voldemort's return, the current situation in the wizarding world has become increasingly severe.

Although it is relatively calm on the surface, the contest behind the scenes has already begun.

Ivan's fight with the Death Eaters in Sicily to win over giants is just one of them, and there are more things happening.

Under such circumstances, Harry is really not suitable for running around like before, especially the connection between him and Voldemort, Dumbledore should have noticed something...

Chapter 810 Summer Vacation and the Beginning of the Egyptian Chapter

Ivan doesn't know what Dumbledore's plans are, but it is necessary to ensure that Harry can stay honestly with the Dursleys during the summer vacation. Maybe this is the main reason why he wants Sirius to go to Norway during the summer vacation...

But is it really that simple?

Norway is one of the main countries in Northern Europe, and the vicinity is traditionally the sphere of influence of Durmstrang, and it is also the area where vampires such as Keresis are most active.

At the same time, it is very close to the fairy kingdom "Yarfheim".

Before the establishment of Gringotts, an organization all over the magical world in various countries, goblins mainly lived in Alfheim.

It is said that it is a magical city located deep underground in Northern Europe, built entirely by goblins alone, where they grow magical plants, use magma to forge weapons, and collect gold and various treasures crazily.

The goblins used gems and precious metals to build cities, and domesticated dragons and trolls to serve as city guards.

Wizards from all over the world flocked to that city to trade with goblins, and over time it became very famous.

Of course, this was all a long time ago!

Like the magic city built by wizards, Alfheim was also destroyed after the so-called "Twilight of the Gods" in the Nordic magic world. The goblins lost their kingdom and fell to all parts of the world, just like house elves Become a wizard-affiliated race.

For thousands of years, fairies and wizards have been trying to find the underground city and obtain the legendary treasures of ancient fairies, but they have not succeeded.

The terrible disaster also caused the magic civilization in the Nordic region to plummet, suffered a devastating blow, and never developed again. Since then, the Nordic region has become the place where dark wizards, vampires, terrible monsters and various absurd legends are most concentrated.

This situation lasted until 800 years ago, when Durmstrang was founded.

This school's conniving attitude towards black magic is also directly related to the unique local magical environment.

Look at the establishment process of the three major European magic schools. The original intention of Hogwarts was that the four founders wanted to change the pattern of the wizarding world and better teach young wizards to master magic; The persecuted witch.

Durmstrang is different. It was created to better cooperate with the Nordic Vikings' plunder and colonization of other European regions.

The establishment of this school itself has war factors, coupled with the strong folk customs of the Nordic region, the dark and chaotic magical environment, and the influence of Germany's rising support, it has also become the cradle of dark wizards.

In history, many well-known dark wizards graduated from this school, including the first generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald.

Keresis said that their family base camp is in the Nordic region, which overlaps with Durmstrang's sphere of influence.

Sirius' arrival in Norway may have something to do with this incident. Since Voldemort found a way to gain great power in the vampire family, Dumbledore must start investigating this matter and try to contact those vampires.

Ivan thought for a while, and decided to wait for Sirius before asking him what he was doing in Norway.

He has no energy to worry about other things now, and it is impossible to go to the Nordic region to solve the troubles of vampires and evil gods. He will go to Egypt this holiday. Apart from the mysterious magic that Dumbledore just mentioned, that is also the most powerful area of ​​Gringotts .

In order to obtain the secret treasure left by the ancient wizards, the greedy goblins probably searched the whole of Egypt.

In a way, goblins are more powerful in Egypt than the local Ministry of Magic.

They hired a large number of wizards as spellbreakers, and Ron's brother Bill was one of them.

In addition, there is a large magic school "Karnak" in Egypt, which is one of the eleven magic schools in the world. It is said that the main building of the school is composed of a huge pyramid and an ancient temple.

In addition to teaching normal magic, a considerable part of ancient witchcraft in Africa was also integrated there, as well as the magic inherited from ancient warlocks found in various ancient ruins. In the study of ancient runes and mysticism, Karna Ke has been at the leading level in the world.

If possible, Ivan would like to visit.

At the end of the conversation, he handed the scabbard to Dumbledore, allowing it to become one with Gryffindor's sword.

Although Ivan found it, in a sense, the scabbard and the sword are inseparable, and both belong to the school's heritage.

After the scabbard absorbed too much Cyclops' power, the seals left by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw reached a delicate balance with these forces. To Dumbledore.

Then, Ivan didn't go back to the common room, but just left a message for Hermione, asking Dumbledore to pass it on to her.

The current situation is extraordinary and care must be taken, the Ministry of Magic and Fudge have already begun to take action against Hogwarts.

The sudden disappearance of Aiwen, Sirius, and Hagrid also attracted their attention, and there was no need to give them an excuse to attack.

Dumbledore allowed Ivan to go home early, just because he didn't want others to ask him what he was doing during this time.

On the bright side, he was invited by Nicole Flamel to study alchemy at Beauxbaton accompanied by Sirius.

As for Hagrid, he followed Madame Maxime back to deal with the trouble caused by a dangerous magical creature.

The reason is not very good, and it sounds suspicious at first glance, but there is nothing wrong with the Ministry of Magic, and Dumbledore can provide sufficient evidence to prove it.

"You can spend the night at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix tonight." Dumbledore said, putting the scabbard that he had carefully looked at for a long time into the cabinet, "Ewen, when you go home tomorrow, Hogwarts probably still has some The holiday will be in a week, you can go to Miss Granger then, I suggest you go to Egypt through Muggles."

"Where is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix?" Ivan nodded and continued to ask, "It can't be..."

He wanted to say No. 12, Grimmauld Place, but suddenly he couldn't remember that it was the Fidelity Charm.

The Fidelity Charm is an extremely complex spell that magically imprints a secret forever in the soul of a living person.

The secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen secret-keeper, so it will never be discovered, unless the secret-keeper voluntarily reveals it, and as long as the secret-keeper does not reveal it, even if the thief sticks his nose to the glass of their living room, he will not see them.

Another effect of this spell is that like Ivan now, he clearly knows the location of No. 12, Grimmauld Place, but he can't tell others about it, let alone connect it with the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, because he is not Secret Keeper.

Chapter 811 Situation in the Magic World

Ai Wenming could think of everything in that old house, but he couldn't remember the address, nor could he tell it.

No. 12, Grimmauld Place, is protected by the Fidelity Curse, and everything there is magically hidden...

"Yes, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​located at 12 Grimmauld Place, London!" said Dumbledore gently.

Following his words, the address of No. 12, Grimmauld Place appeared in Ivan's mind, which was very clear, but he still couldn't tell others about this place, and was still bound by magic. The Loyalty Curse used by Dumbledore The power is very strong.

"I must thank you again, Sirius!" Dumbledore continued, "We need a safe place to be the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and to be honest, there is no better place than the ancestral home of the Black family, which is Protected by as many magical spells as I can imagine, second only to Hogwarts, simply by replacing the parts that don't work."

"It's nothing, otherwise the house would be vacant, and I'd be happy to do something for the Order," said Sirius, turning suddenly and frowning at the portrait on the wall.

His great-great-grandfather, Phineas, had just yelled prodigal son and caused chaos in the principal's office.

"Okay, Remus is still waiting for you there, it's getting late, I think you two had better go over now!" Dumbledore said, waving his hand slightly upwards, the fireplace was burning brightly It suddenly turned green.

Ivan walked into the fireplace, and after a whirlwind, he got out from the fireplace at No. 12, Grimmauld Place.

This place is completely different from before. The last time Ivan came to the restaurant of this old house, it was almost a cave-like deep room.

The room is surrounded by rough stone walls, and the curtain full of insect eyes hides the secret passage leading to the underground library. The ground is covered with dust, and dangerous black magic items are scattered everywhere. The air in the whole house is very dull, like a haunted house .

Today, there is a new look here.

The dark ceiling and floor were gone, they were all rubbed to shine, gleaming as if waxed, almost able to reflect the figure, the curtains and decorations inlaid with the Black family crest were all replaced with new ones, Everything is neatly placed in the cabinet.

Ai Wen blinked and almost didn't recognize it. Is this still No. 12 Grimmauld Place? !

"Kreacher did it. It took him about a year to clean this house, even though no one lives here." Sirius said, pushing Ivan out of the large fireplace. When it was there, it really looked like this..."

"Good evening, Master Sirius, Master Ivan!" A bullfrog-like voice sounded, "Welcome back, please change your shoes!"

Aiwen saw the house elf Kreacher running over with two pairs of slippers, and the clothes he was wearing were washed clean.

Around his neck is a fake Slytherin locket with a picture of him and Regulus in it, a Christmas present from Ivan.

As for the locket that Regulus used to replace Voldemort's Horcrux was still in that eerie cave, it was impossible for anyone to get the locket without drinking all the liquid Voldemort left in the stone basin.

But now, everyone knew that it was a fake locket, so there was no need to take it out, and Dumbledore would not drink those deadly poisons.

For Kreacher, it was enough for Ivan to give him this imitation.

Like this old house, he now glows with new vitality, and he doesn't see the old aging and decadence at all, and his attitude towards Aiwen is particularly respectful.

After Ivan and the others retrieved Regulus' body and let Kreacher understand why he died, Kreacher's attitude improved greatly. House elves work that way.

"Good evening, Alvin, Sirius, Dumbledore informed me that you will be back today." Lupine said with a smile. He was sitting at the long wooden table in the middle of the room, still wearing the patched suit. The old robe, the state of mind seems to be not bad.

"Hello, Remus!" Sirius walked over to hug him, and Ivan hurriedly greeted him.

"How is your trip going?" Lupine asked, pouring them each a cup of coffee.

"A lot of things have happened, let's talk a little bit..." Aiwen said, turning around and looking at the house elf behind him, "Kreacher, can you please help us get something to eat? We haven't had dinner yet, don't worry too much Please, just keep it simple!"

"No problem, Master Aiwen, this is the honor of old Kreacher." He bowed and disappeared with a bang.

"I like this house elf, he has a much better attitude than I remember." Lupine said, motioning for Ivan to sit next to him, "Of course, he still whispers bad things about me behind my back, but at least It's not going to throw me out of here like it used to."

"Talking about you?!" Sirius frowned. "I'll tell him not to…"

"No, Sirius, it's good to stay in the current state. As you know, I'm not a very popular visitor among most wizard eyes and magical creatures." Lupine said, waving his hand, "As a werewolf, It's an occupational hazard."

There was a moment of silence. The werewolf matter had a great impact on Lupine, and it kept him from letting go of his burden and starting a new life.

"Okay, tell me about the interesting things that happened during your trip to the giant tribe?"

Next, Ivan and Sirius briefly described what happened, and asked Lupine about the current situation in the magic world.

"It's not very good. On the surface, there is no news about Voldemort's return. All the media have lost their voices. As for our newspaper..." Lupine smiled wryly, "Just like before you left, they sent special personnel to check the content of our reports, Strict controls have been implemented, and the number of newspaper subscriptions has continued to decline. I have protested to the Ministry of Magic during this period, but all appeal documents have been ignored, and no one has responded to us."

"They can't do this all the time. People need the truth. We can separate the news of Voldemort's return and the claims of the Order of the Phoenix, and secretly mail them to those who need them." Ivan suggested.

"This idea is good, but if it is discovered or reported, Fudge will definitely not miss this opportunity. Dumbledore said that we had better not provoke him and confront the Ministry of Magic head-on." Lupine said, "Fudge recently He has already done a lot of crazy things. I heard that he is already preparing to intervene in Hogwarts teaching activities. Next semester, the Ministry of Magic will send a senior investigator to Hogwarts to conduct an overall assessment of the school's education situation. The matter has been decided, but I don’t know the candidate!”

Ai Wen knew who this senior investigator was, and the image of that scary woman who looked like a pink toad appeared in front of his eyes.

Chapter 812 Stupid Fudge

Aiwen's original intention of setting up the newspaper was mainly to solve the cost of purchasing magic books and materials, but he also thought that when this happened, he would use the newspaper to fight against the Ministry of Magic in public opinion and make his own voice, without appearing too passive.

I have to admit that he thought too simply at the beginning, or in other words, he didn't think that Fudge and the Ministry of Magic would be so bottomless.

Controlling a newspaper and restricting what it publishes is normally illegal.

But the Minister of Magic does have this right, and relevant regulations are involved in the Wizarding Secrecy Act and the Law of War.

It's been a long time since something like this has happened, and it's obvious that doing so would give the impression of a tough dictator, but Fudge did it anyway, apparently mistaking it for a war, a battle between himself and Dumbledore's war.

"This is not the only trouble, Ivan, you should really read the "Daily Prophet"'s evaluation of you during this period." Lupine said, "They described you as a person under Dumbledore's protection, I don't know The heavens are high and the earth is thick, little wizards who conduct all kinds of dangerous magic research, they even said that you are studying black magic, and found many Slytherin students to prove this..."

"Oh, this is really interesting!" Ivan said, he was indeed studying black magic.

Lupine cited a few examples in the newspaper that Ivan was studying black magic. To be honest, most of them were relatively basic research. The correct answer is known in the book.

These chaotically fabricated reports are really unrealistic. In Ivan's view, it feels a bit contemptuous.
