Saturday.

Ace used the excuse that he needed to find information to study the living hell decoction, and found Professor Slughorn to get a restricted book area permit, and spent the whole day in the library.

She had read through almost all the books available to students in the library this week, but could not find anything wrong with Ravenclaw's diadem.But her intuition told her that Ravenclaw's diadem was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Ace was destined to return in vain. Professor Dumbledore had just visited the Restricted Book Zone last night. He took away the book "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" and placed it in the principal's office.

Armed with a stack of books related to alchemy and black magic, Ace returned to his seat.Orville was still writing his Potions paper without hope, while Diane, opposite him, was flipping through a book about the connection between astronomy and divination.When Asta saw her coming back, he rolled his eyes and tilted his head to the side.

Ace knew why Asta rolled his eyes. Asta was never very happy to see Snape, and he was sitting next to her seat waiting for her.

"What's the matter, Severus?" Ace put down the book and asked softly.

Snape took out a piece of parchment. The handwriting on it was very neat. The distance between each word seemed to have been measured with a ruler. There was no trace of alteration in the whole article, which was very pleasing to the eye.

"New recipe for the potion, Ace."

"Severus, thank you, you don't have to help me like this. This project will completely become your achievement." Ace took the formula and checked it, "Well, I think this can be changed, Esk Herbal Medicine Change the dosage to a smaller amount, and adding a little cinnabar will make the spell's adhesion effect stronger..."

Snape shook his head in disapproval: "I just provided an improvement on the soaking potion. This is a good idea and should be feasible..."

Glancing at the book that Ace had brought over, Snape asked casually, "Ace, are you reading a book about dark magic?"

"That's right. I'll test it out when I have time. Thank you, Severus."

Snape soon left.Ace put away the parchment and continued to look through the books he had retrieved from the restricted book section.After reading a thick pile, Ace closed the book in his hand and let out a heavy sigh.

After hearing this, Diane looked away from the book and looked up at Ace, "What are you looking for?"

Ace looked at Diane, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "An object that has been casted by black magic, but there is no trace of black magic at all."

"It sounds like there are a few items that seem to fit the bill."

"Really? Diane?"

"Let me think about it, Ace." Diane lowered her head in thought, "I have seen some in the "Introduction to Dangerous Dark Magic Items" before, including Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's wand... …the book The Great Dark Wizard, the Opal Curse Necklace, and the Horcruxes.”

Hearing Diane read out a long list of names, Ace eliminated them one by one, frowning, "Diane, don't you have a Ravenclaw diadem?"

This made Asta and Orville raise their heads and look at Ace, very surprised.

Diane was puzzled: "Ravenclaw's diadem? You mean the relics of Ms. Rowena, the founder of our academy?"

Ace nodded and looked at Diane expectantly, as if a satisfactory answer would come out of her mouth in the next second.

"No, Ace, it disappeared a long time ago. Where did you see it?"

Ace hesitated and replied apologetically: "...I'm sorry, Diane, I can't tell you without Principal Dumbledore's permission."

Diane nodded in understanding, pondered for a moment, and tried to think back: "Then it might be a Horcrux, Ace. It might be that Ravenclaw's diadem was made into a Horcrux."

"What are Horcruxes, Diane?"

"I only saw that the book said it was a very evil black magic item that could make people immortal, but at a great price. There was very little description of it in that book, Ace."

"Can't we help you, Ace?" Asta stared at Ace with his blue eyes, frowning slightly, and said very worriedly.Orville nodded in agreement.

Ace raised his hand and rubbed Asta's beautiful face vigorously, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Asta, I have reported it to Principal Dumbledore, and they will find a way. Principal Dumbledore is the greatest White wizard!"

……

Seeing that Principal Dumbledore didn't come to him, Ace put the matter behind him for the time being.

She was doing experiments in the Room of Requirement today. The sunshine outside the window was very bright, and she was in a good mood. She could foresee that this project was about to end.

Ace skillfully prepared the soaking potion, put a brand new gold disk in it, waited for 10 minutes, took it out with tweezers, and baked it dry on an alcohol lamp.After preparing everything, she sat down in front of the operating table and used the magnifying glass to concentrate on engraving the "impregnable" and "armor protection" spells on the small gold disc in her hand.

The green sky outside the window was slowly dotted with a few orange sunsets.After finishing the last stroke, a dazzling luster flashed on the gold disc, which was not as sandy or shabby as before.

Ace jumped in surprise, and the bun on his head swayed slightly with her movements.Her gray-green eyes were filled with joy, "Great!"

Ace rubbed his sore neck, stretched his waist, walked to the window, and looked at the horizon where a few orange-red clouds gradually spread, dyeing the entire sky in bright gold and red.Then the gold and red slowly fell down and disappeared into the sky.

After admiring the brilliant sunset, Ace returned to the console, threaded the golden disc with a black rope, then took out an exquisite dark green gift box from her all-purpose small satchel, and carefully put in.

As if he had accomplished something big, Ace exhaled and cast a cleaning spell on the messy console.Looking at the clean and tidy console that seemed to have never been used before, Ace nodded with satisfaction.

After finally completing his project, Ace wandered slowly in the corridor, enjoying the rare leisure time.

But this kind of time is always short-in the courtyard, two groups of people faced each other.Ace looked over and saw that there was another conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor. A group of green collared people and a group of red collared people stood clearly separated.

Gryffindor is led by James, and Slytherin is led by Avery and Mulciber. Well... why is Severus here?Ace shook his head and walked over.

"Snotlout, this has nothing to do with you! What? You want to take care of this?" James held the wand and said to Snape with his head held high.

"James, he is from Slytherin. Who knows if he is involved in this matter." Sirius looked at Snape sideways with an unkind expression.

Snape scowled and retorted sarcastically: "Stupid lions with brains full of splendens, who doesn't know that you are the one causing trouble every time? What? The arrogant Gryffindor also needs to start talking to people. ?”

"you!"

"Snape, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you to leave it alone. We are only looking for those two guys." Remus advised, his chin tilted towards Avery and Mulciber.

Avery waved the wand in his hand nonchalantly, glanced at the dirty girl hiding behind the four Gryffindors, and said sarcastically: "Oh, James Potter, Sirius Black, are willing to fall. guy."

"She's just a Mudblood, she doesn't deserve to come to Hogwarts at all!" Mulciber's nostrils shot up, full of arrogance.

Lily supported Heinal and stood behind James and the others, comforting her from time to time.After hearing what Avery and Mulciber said, his face turned red with anger, but looking at Snape standing there, his eyes showed sadness.

James and Sirius held the wands in their hands tightly and stared at them angrily, like two little lions ready to attack.Snape pursed his lips tightly, and when he saw Lily's gaze, he avoided it for a moment, but soon stared at the four people headed by James again.

"Avery! Your family is a bunch of idiots! Thanks to your family calling yourself pure blood, who doesn't know that your grandma is what you call a mudblood!"

Avery was so angry when he heard Sirius reveal the most disgusting secret of his family to the public, he raised his hand and fired a magic spell at him.James blocked it with quick eyes and hands, and immediately counterattacked.

The courtyard instantly turned into a battlefield. Slytherin and Gryffindor attacked each other, and various magic spells flashed. Many onlookers were also affected because they had no time to leave, and had to start to fight back.

Ace saw the chaos in the scene before she could stop it. She hurriedly ran over, put armor on the wailing people lying on the ground, and then knocked away the most violent people, shouting: "Quickly Stop! Stop it!"

Diane also came here because of the noise and saw the chaotic scene. She put the wand to her throat, applied a "loud voice" and shouted: "Here comes Principal Dumbledore!"

Everyone stopped, put down their wands, and looked blankly at the source of the sound—Diane Jones.

"Look at the good things you have done! Avery, Mulciber, Severus, James, Sirius! And you! I will truthfully report today's situation to your dean!" Ace was angry. He yelled, "Why are you standing there! Hurry up and send the injured to the medical wing!"

"Merlin's beard! What are you little guys doing in school!" Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout walked out of the corner together and saw students lying on the floor.

After quickly calling a few senior students to take the injured to the hospital wing, the two professors took several key players to find Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn.

Everyone gathered in Professor McGonagall's office, listening to Professor Flitwick talk about the tragic situation in the courtyard.Several children lowered their heads in shame and uneasiness, and Ace glared at several of them fiercely.

"So, who can tell me why this is happening?" After listening to Professor Flitwick's words, Professor McGonagall's face was as dark as water, and he looked at the initiators.

Finally, Lily stood up and said, "Professor McGonagall, that's it.

Today, when Henar and I were reading in the courtyard, we heard Mr. Avery and Mr. Mulciber discussing mud and mudbloods. Then we had a conflict, and Avery pushed Henar into the flower bed.James and the others got involved when they saw it. Sean and Snape saw us arguing and got involved too. More and more people were watching.Later, Sirius said that Mr. Avery's grandma was also a mudblood, and everyone started fighting.

It was Senior Sister Ace and Senior Sister Diane who came from behind and shouted that Professor Dumbledore was coming, which stopped everyone from continuing the fight. "

After listening to this, several professors looked very unhappy, especially when they heard the word "mudblood", their brows were so frowned that they could kill a fly.

Finally, Professor McGonagall spoke: "Mr. Avery, Mr. Mulciber, and Mr. Sirius, for your discourteous behavior and discriminating against classmates, each of you will be deducted thirty points, and the remaining participants will be deducted twenty points.

Well... Each of you should report to Mrs. Pang Lei and take care of the injured classmates.Then you will all be in confinement until the end of the semester.Miss Foley and Miss Jones, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw will receive ten points for your intelligence and courage.

Gentlemen and ladies, do you have any objections to this? "

James and the others shook their heads absentmindedly and accepted the punishment. Obviously they also knew that this incident was serious.Lily supported Heiner without saying anything and had no objection to the decision.

Avery and Mulciber of Slytherin also shook their heads and reluctantly accepted.Snape stood gloomily alone, looking at Lily from time to time. After hearing the execution, he only pursed his dry lips and did not refute.

"In this case, why don't you go to the hospital wing quickly? I don't have any injured classmates here waiting for you to take care of them. Miss Foley, Miss Jones! Please watch them go to the hospital wing."

……

When the group of people arrived at the medical wing in silence, Mrs. Pang Lei was busy bandaging and prescribing medicines for the people crowded inside. She was so busy.Upon hearing Ace's intention, Mrs. Pang Lei quickly assigned tasks to them.

"Miss Jones, could you and the two little girls help them apply medicine and bandages? Gryffindor boys, you two will follow the assistant to prepare the medicine, and the two Slytherin boys will deliver the medicine.

As for Snape and Miss Ace, please go to Professor Slughorn and ask for some white moss, healing potion, bone-building potion, and scar-adhesive agent. Ask for more. There won't be enough for so many people. "

Mrs. Pomley was very familiar with Snape and Ace who often came to help Professor Slughorn deliver potions, so she let them continue their old and easy business.Others were assigned to tend to the wounded, and poor Diane was too tied up to go to the library to read.

On the way to the basement, Ace was silent for a while before speaking: "Severus, you shouldn't get involved in this matter."

Snape said bitterly: "Ace, I..."

But after he spoke, he didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything again.

After getting the potion, Ace and Snape quickly rushed back to the hospital wing.Ace went to help Diane and Lily place the wounded. Snape stood alone at the door, glanced in the direction of Lily and Ace, and walked towards Avery and the others to go to the storage room to get medicine.

Mrs. Pang Lei waved her hand to let them leave before the curfew.
