Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Chapter 1323 Barrow and Helena

"What chance? I don't see anything weird about it."

"Ms. Ravenclaw personally appointed Barrow to find Helena. We all know that he has been pursuing her madly..."

"Yeah, he said the last time we chatted that he was fascinated by that woman. Maybe Barrow thought that marrying her would get the support of the Ravenclaw family and Professor Gryffindor, and he is very If you are ambitious, you won't care if the woman is really pure-blooded, as long as she has the surname Ravenclaw, as long as Professor Gryffindor admits that she is his daughter, I heard that Professor Slytherin With this relationship, Barrow will become the hottest new star." Clive agreed, "Tsk tsk, but Helena rejected her, it's funny to think about it, that woman would rather be with Even a Mudblood elopes and doesn't choose him. I dare say that Barrow must be furious right now, this guy has a bad temper, I can't imagine what will happen if he finds her."

"That's the problem!" Malfoy said quickly, "We all know that Helena rejected Barrow once, if she really eloped a year ago, it would never be wise to send Barrow to her decision, and it was appointed by Madam Ravenclaw, she could not have made such a mistake."

"Is there a problem? I heard that Ms. Ravenclaw fell ill because of her daughter's departure. Remember the time when she disappeared? Rumor has it that Ms. Ravenclaw was once very sick because she missed her daughter." Seriously, she wanted to see Helena before she died, so she sent Barrow there, and we all know that with Barrow's love for Helena and his character, he will not stop until he brings her back."

"Don't be naive, Clive, this is what the school announced to the public. How have you ever seen that this official statement is true and accurate?! Generally, the correct answer is to think in the opposite direction." Malfoy said , "Let me tell you, there is actually a secret hidden in it that we don't know, and this secret is the key to ruining Ms. Ravenclaw's reputation."

"Don't be secretive, tell us everything you know, there are only two of us here!"

"Of course I will tell you, we are allies!" Malfoy said in a slippery tone, "But this matter is of great importance, you'd better not tell other people, even if you tell your family, don't use Owls are easy to tell."

"I'm no fool, Malfoy, know what to do!"

"Of course, of course!" Malfoy said in a small voice, "Because I felt that Ms. Ravenclaw's decision was suspicious, after Barrow left, our family sent people to look for him. To be more precise, it was in Before he was about to leave France..."

"You sent someone after Barrow? He's not easy to deal with."

"Compared to the four founders of Hogwarts, it's nothing at all." Malfoy said quickly, "About three months ago, our people and Barrow had a friendly meeting in the Orleans area." He told me everything he knew, including that he was going to find Helena in the direction of Greece, that she was seen going there, and..."

"Hmph, as expected of the Malfoy family, aren't you afraid that the professors will know about it?"

"Don't worry, he won't say it. Besides, since we made a move, Barrow and Helena will definitely not come back again. I think it's perfect for the two of them to end with the death of both of them. Since we If you can’t get it, then destroy it, which fits Baro’s character very well.”

Clive didn't answer, just let out a sneer that sounded uncomfortable.

Ivan was concentrating, and the conversation between these two people really became more and more interesting.

As the resident ghosts of Slytherin and Ravenclaw houses, Bloody Barrow and Lady Gray (Helena Ravenclaw) are very popular at Hogwarts, and students know both of them.

Of course, very few people have communicated with them.

Ms. Gray often stayed in Ravenclaw Tower, except for the opening party, seldom came down, and was unwilling to speak to the students.

She is a haughty and shy ghost that only Ravenclaw students have access to.

Not to mention the bloody Baron, this guy often sat on the Slytherin table, but he seemed to come out on purpose to scare people.

Barrow was always in shackles, wearing blood-stained clothes, staring blankly at one place, never speaking.

Both students and ghosts are afraid of him, including the fearless Peeves.

Come to think of it, with such a guy sitting next to you, how can you still eat?

This became one of the things that Harry and Ron made fun of Draco Malfoy for a while, and they were happy to see Malfoy hapless.

Regardless of appearance or rumors, Bloody Barrow is a ghost with a bad reputation.

But in fact, as a ghost, Bloodman Barrow spends most of his time in an unconscious state.

Not to mention scary, he couldn't even communicate normally, so he looked abnormal.

Aiwen thought that he became like this before, mainly because of the stimulation after killing Helena with his own hands, and the deep sense of guilt. The combination of these two strong emotions made him still So abnormal.

It is only now that I know that there are other reasons for the lack of preparation.

Listen to what the Malfoy ancestor said outside the door. There was a friendly conversation between the wizard sent by their family and Barrow. Barrow told all the secrets he knew and told the insidious and cunning Malfoy, and then Out of anger and jealousy, this ambitious and talented wizard chooses to die in love with the woman he loves...

Anyway, it's a fantastic script.

Since the ancestor of the Malfoy family outside the door said so, they must have used some method to control Barrow.

Imperius Curse? !

Or other soul magic, or potion? !

Considering that Rowena Ravenclaw is proficient in soul magic and Salazar Slytherin is very good at potions, the Malfoy family should not be so obvious. If this kind of thing is found out later, it is not a joke For things, they should have used perfect magic, or verbal inducement, which is the safest.

It's a pity that this is a three-month event, and it may be too late to stop it now!

"I'm now interested in your intelligence, Malfoy, tell me, what do you know from Barrow?"

"It's not a lot, but it's important enough." Malfoy said, "This is news that even the other three professors don't know. Helena stole Ms. Ravenclaw's crown before she left! I don't need to say more , you know what that crown represents, right?"

After he finished speaking, there was a long silence outside the door, and there was no sound at all...

Chapter 1324 The Missing Crown

Ravenclaw's diadem is a symbol of wisdom, a legendary magic item.

It is said that the ancient gods enchanted it to increase the wisdom of the wearer.

On the bottom edge of the golden crown is engraved with Ravenclaw's famous motto: Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind.

Now, the crown is in Ivan's hands, and he has worn it before, and he doesn't feel that he has become more awake or wiser.

In his opinion, this thing is a very valuable historical relic. Of course, there is magic left by Ravenclaw himself on it, but it is not magic that makes people smart, but other aspects. Guide Ivan Go find the magic of the time titans.

That raven, no matter what method Ivan used, never reappeared...

As for the claim that the crown is a symbol of wisdom, it is simply nonsense.

This is Aiwen's idea, but in the magical world, whether it is the Middle Ages or later generations before thousands of years, wizards firmly believe that this crown will bring unparalleled wisdom, and it has been passed down for centuries as a symbol of the wisest wizard.

Rowena Ravenclaw has the crown because she is the wisest wizard.

Conversely, it is precisely because of the crown that she is recognized by wizards as the wisest wizard.

The two depend on each other, prove each other, complement each other, and are indispensable.

Would Lady Rowena Ravenclaw still be the wisest wizard if the diadem disappeared? !

In particular, the diadem was stolen by her daughter, which was a complete scandal.

No matter how she proves it, I'm afraid she won't be able to explain it clearly, and the reputation of Rowena and the Ravenclaw family will definitely be damaged by it.

Whether it will be ruined is hard to say, but it will definitely be questioned.

At that time, several pure-blood wizarding families will secretly fan the flames and stir up public opinion, and the proposal proposed by Ravenclaw will definitely not be passed this time.

This is a very simple reasoning. If the Malfoy family gets the real crown from Barrow again, maybe they will do more articles...

Because no relevant historical records were found, Aiwen couldn't be sure whether this incident really happened in history.

Therefore, he didn't know how Ravenclaw saved the day?Or is it ruined?

What is certain now is that the crown was indeed stolen by Helena!

She stole the crown because she was jealous of her mother's wisdom and wanted to make herself smarter.

In the version of history that Ivan heard, Helena stole the crown, and Ravenclaw was really sick, very sick, so she sent Barrow to find Helena, who was once deeply loved. The man who had hurt Helena deeply again, he finally found Helena in the forest of Albania.

Out of patience, Barrow killed Helena there.

Then, out of remorse, Barro stabbed himself with that knife and ended his life.

Shortly after that, Rowena Ravenclaw also died of illness. No one knows the final whereabouts of the diadem, and no one knows who else has seen it, let alone whether it still exists. The diadem has since disappeared. Until the appearance of young Tom Riddle...

Because it was dictated by the person concerned, the story should be roughly accurate.

But there are a few issues that are not clearly stated, and it may only be a fragment of the whole story.

There are many places that are not clear, for example, why did Helena steal her mother's crown?Really because of jealousy?

This could have been reasonable, but Ai Wen just heard from the two guys outside the door that she probably eloped with a Muggle-born wizard not simply because she was jealous of her mother's wisdom. Steal the crown easily.

This explanation is more convincing than simply stealing the crown and leaving because of jealousy!

So the question is, who was the wizard who eloped with Helena?Where is he?

In none of the stories does he appear.

The absence of such an important figure was an anomaly in itself.

This is the first place that is not clearly stated, and the second is that Helena hid in the remote Albanian forest after stealing the crown. If it was because she was afraid of hiding after stealing the crown, then she stole it The crown has no meaning at all, she neither dared to announce that the crown is in her hands, nor can she prove to the world in the forest that she is smarter than before, showing off her wisdom, and did not enjoy any stolen crown belt Benefits come.

On the contrary, it is a very stupid behavior.

Ivan has personally been to the forests of Albania and knows what the conditions are there, how desolate and chaotic it is.

He has also been in contact with Helena's ghost many times, so he is not familiar with it, but at least it can be said that he has a certain understanding.

In Aiwen's view, Helena would not take the initiative to choose to go to the Albanian forest, but it would be possible if she went to Greece.

The Albanian forest is definitely not a good hiding place, nor does it fit Helena's personality.

If she was there to hide from Barrow's search, it couldn't be explained, it was strange.

As for the third question, it was Baro's behavior in finally finding Helena.

From all aspects, it can be proved that Barrow is a very bad-tempered wizard. He loves and hates Helena, but he is not without IQ. Barrow is Salazar Slytherin's favorite student , even if he can't marry Helena, he still has a bright future, but in the end he chooses the most tragic way to end his life.

Then, the ghosts of the two people finally stayed in this world because of regret, and returned to Hogwarts...

After that, they lived together in the school castle for thousands of years.

On the surface, they don't seem to have much hatred, but they can live in peace.

Is it time to smooth out the hatred?Or is there another unknown reason that made the two of them finally reconcile?

After death, the two ghosts forgave each other, leaving only endless regrets.

Barrow regretted that he killed his dear woman because of impulsiveness, and became demented, sometimes awake, sometimes dull.

Helena regretted that she betrayed her mother and stole the crown, but despite this, after returning to Hogwarts, she insisted not to tell the whereabouts of the crown or to tell the rest of the Ravenclaw family , and refused to tell other founders.

Until, the world has all forgotten about it!

Oh, yes, because of Ravenclaw's concealment, others may not know about the loss of the diadem.

But Helena didn't say anything, can she explain the past?She has become a fool, what's the use of that crown?

The whole thing oozes anomaly, a lot of illogicality.

Thinking of this, looking back at what happened between Helena and Barrow, it is really a story full of loopholes.

Aiwen smelled a conspiracy in it, and it can be concluded that things are not so simple.

How to put it, there must be a big secret behind this incident...

Chapter 1325 The Context of History

The last question is about Rowena Ravenclaw's death.

Calculating the time, it should be shortly after this. This is a historical event that can be determined.

Most of Helena's remorse also comes from this. She believes that her actions killed her mother.

Did Rowena Ravenclaw die because of missing her daughter?Or because of other reasons?

Another thing that is certain is that shortly after the death of Ravenclaw, Godric Gryffindor also left this world, probably in the next few years, not too long, it is said that because Is it a coincidence that he died of illness?

You know, there are many ways for wizards of their level to delay aging and death.

It is inconceivable to die of illness or something, and it is a small probability event of one in a million when two people die one after another.

It is easier to believe that the two of them died of illness than when the adventurer was attacked, attacked by the enemy, or cursed.

Oh, and Salazar Slytherin too!

Ivan doesn't know the exact time when he left Hogwarts, but it should be before Ravenclaw died of illness.

Because his departure was compiled into "A Piece of Hogwarts School History" as a landmark event, it means that the four founders have serious differences in their educational concepts, and Hogwarts will usher in the first big breakup in history. event.

It is said that shortly after Salazar left, a dark wizard planned to launch an attack on Hogwarts...

This attack and the subsequent war are only a few words in "A Piece of Hogwarts School History", but they are very important black magic events, which affect the course of history. Victory ended and brought many changes to the wizarding world, including the creation of Azkaban, the wizarding prison...

Wait, so that's when Azkaban was founded? !

Although there is no specific time evidence, Ivan feels that he seems to have connected these things.

First, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor will die of illness shortly thereafter, probably within a few years.

And before that, it was Salazar Slytherin's departure, his departure and Ravenclaw's serious illness made those dark wizards who had been watching Hogwarts for a long time feel anxious, thinking they saw an opportunity , Therefore, shortly after Slytherin left, the black wizard attacked Hogwarts.

One of the many changes and results of the war was the establishment of Azkaban, a prison for dark wizards.
