Admiral of Hogwarts

Early the next morning when Mrs. Weasley came to visit, Hugo and the three of them finished breakfast and walked to their destination on the other side of the city, each dragging a suitcase.

Grimmauld Place is in a declining neighborhood in London, so there aren't many people coming and going. So for safety reasons, Hugo and the three of them got off the bus one stop away from Place Grimoli.

After confirming that there were no suspicious persons around, the three people immediately checked each other's disguises, then dragged their suitcases and walked towards the destination.

"I think our disguise is a little too much now?" Hermione, who had blond hair on her head, said as she walked along the sidewalk, "This place shouldn't be that dangerous."

Now all three of them were wearing hooded pullovers with a slightly hip-hop style. They looked like students hanging out together during the holidays, and they had seen several young people dressed like this on the bus.

"You are right, the situation should not be that dangerous now." Veneto nodded and said. "But now we have entered a state of war, so we'd better ask ourselves according to the requirements of the war era - well, we're here, it should be here."

"This place looks quite shabby." Hermione said after Veneto, who was walking at the front, stopped and looked around.

Her assessment was accurate. The houses around the square were in dilapidated condition, and some of the houses had broken windows, which shone dimly in the sunlight.

Paint was peeling off many doors, and several homes had trash piled outside their front steps. A pungent stench of rotting garbage emanated from the bulging garbage bags in the dilapidated door.

The three people stood in the square and began to recall the contents of Dumbledore's note. As soon as they thought of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, a shabby door appeared out of thin air between No. 11 and No. 13.

Then the grimy walls and grim windows appeared, and it looked as if an extra house had suddenly swelled, pushing out everything on either side. Finally an ancient looking house appeared there.

"Who?" When they walked up the shabby stone steps, grabbed the silver door knocker in the shape of a coiled snake, and knocked on this ancient door that even the black paint on the door had peeled off and was covered with scratches left and right, they asked A wary voice came from inside.

Hugo recognized that it was the voice of Mrs. Weasley who came to the Hood's house yesterday. Obviously, as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, in addition to being surrounded by various magical protections, the guards inside were also very vigilant.

"We are Vittorio Veneto, Hermione Granger and Hugo Granger." Veneto walked up the steps to the door at this time, and then said to the wooden door.

"Come in." After Hugo and the others announced their names, Mrs. Weasley opened the door and said, "Principal Dumbledore is waiting for you in the room."

It's no wonder that Mrs. Weasley seemed very relaxed when asking questions just now. After all, Principal Dumbledore is in the room now, and there is nothing safer than this.

After entering the door, several people quickly took off the wigs on their heads and the contact lenses in their eyes, and then followed Mrs. Weasley into the dark room.

"You are much more vigilant than the ones in my family. No wonder Moody said you guys can be Aurors." While leading the way, Mrs. Weasley said, "By the way, you guys better follow Hold me tight and don’t touch anything.”

When Hugo first entered the dark hall, he smelled a damp, dusty smell mixed with a sweet smell of decay.

The smell got stronger the further we followed Mrs. Weasley into the house, giving the impression that this place was like an empty house that had been abandoned for a long time.

The entire foyer is very long, in a standard Victorian residential style. The house's former glory is vaguely visible in the peeling wallpaper and frayed carpet.

A spiderweb-shaped chandelier overhead shimmered, and portraits blackened by age hung crookedly on the walls.

Hugo heard what seemed like some small animal scurrying behind the skirting board. The chandelier overhead and the candelabra on a rickety table nearby were shaped like snakes.

"You guys came quite early. Everyone is busy during the day, so we may only gather in this room at night." Weasley introduced as he led the two people into the room.

"Because the Black family are all Slytherins, this residence is full of pure-blood style things, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable. However, the principal thinks this is a very good place, so we can only stay here."

"To be honest, this place has not been lived in for more than ten years. Although I have been cleaning this room with the children before, the condition of the entire house is still not optimistic."

"-Okay, Mr. Principal is inside, you go in." Mrs. Weasley led Hugo and the others to the kitchen door and said, "I'm going upstairs to help you clean up the room now, you go in by yourselves. .”

"Good morning, Mr. Principal." After walking into the kitchen, Hugo saw Principal Dumbledore sitting by the fireplace reading a book. After hearing the sound of the door opening, the Principal put down the book and raised his head.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Veneto, Miss Granger and Mr. Granger." Dumbledore closed the book and placed it on the table next to him. "I didn't expect you to come so early - "

"Okay, I saw in the message you sent earlier that you were bringing me something important. Can you let me see what it is?" After a few words of greeting, Professor Dumbledore quickly went straight to theme.

"Of course, Veneto found this in the School of Requirement before, and now it has been returned to its original owner." Hugo said as he opened the suitcase on the side and took out the silver box and handed it over. passed.

"This is -" Hugo saw a surprised expression on Dumbledore sitting opposite. Obviously, as the principal of Hogwarts, he would not mistake the relics of the school's four founders.

"If our previous judgment is correct, this thing is the Ravenclaw diadem that was stolen by Ravenclaw's daughter and then disappeared." Hugo explained to Dumbledore, who was holding the diadem.

"When I first discovered it, there was some kind of hidden evil wrapped around it. After taking it back and examining it, we were able to confirm that the thing was someone's Horcrux."

"Horcrux!" After hearing what Hugo said, Dumbledore, who was holding the crown, shook his hand, and then took out the wand, but before he could cast the spell, he heard Hugo continue to say.

"The soul inside has been completely destroyed by us, and the crown has also been repaired." Hugo said, taking out a piece of milky white crystal and placing it on the table, and then said.

"The person who destroyed the Horcrux asked us to give this thing to you, and asked us to tell you that this Horcrux should be one of the Horcruxes of the mysterious man who was just resurrected——"

"I understand." After hearing what Hugo said, Dumbledore picked up the opalescent crystal, felt it, and then said. "No wonder——"
