Chapter 12 The Crown

At eight o'clock on Thursday night, Harry watched nervously as Lupine opened the lid of the packing box.

A dementor slowly emerged from the box and walked quickly and silently towards Harry.Relieved that his Occlumency had worked, Harry raised his wand and yelled, "Church!"

White mist gushed from the holly wand, and Harry broke the magic link before the stag could take shape.He fell down in the thick white mist, the classroom and the dementors slowly blurred, the voices of mother and father, Sirius fell into the curtain, Principal Dumbledore fell from the tower, Professor Snape's neck The blood, the flames that swept from behind Draco... No!

"Harry! Harry!"

Harry opened his eyes and found himself lying in Lupin's arms. He opened his mouth and said hoarsely, "Sorry!"

"Are you all right?" Lupine handed Harry a large bar of the best chocolate from Honeydukes. "Eat it all. I can totally understand if you want to give up."

"No," said Harry, "I can do it."

"Okay." Lupine reluctantly agreed.

Then they practiced a few more times.

"No, it's enough to be here today." Lupine resolutely put the Boggart back in the box, "How about this time next week?"

"Okay," said Harry.He took a bite of the chocolate, feeling exhausted, and it was much harder for him to maintain Occlumency than to practice the Patronus.

After bidding farewell to Lupin, Harry hesitated for a while, and instead of going back to the Gryffindor Tower, he walked to the eighth floor wearing an invisibility cloak.The scene he saw just now gave him a big shock. Harry recalled the scene of the flames sweeping from behind Draco, and thought uncertainly, maybe we can get rid of the crown first?Harry quickly rushed to the eighth floor, thankful that he had developed the habit of carrying an invisibility cloak with him during the war.

He stopped suddenly in front of the tapestry where the troll danced, closed his eyes and started pacing back and forth.I need a place to hide, Harry thought to himself, walking past the door three times quickly.The door to the Room of Requirement appeared, and Harry yanked it open and rushed in, slamming the door behind him.

Harry stood numbly in the Response Room. This place was as big as a church, and the surrounding scenery looked like a city. Those high walls were made up of things hidden by thousands of students who had long since passed away. .There are crumbling piles of broken furniture, thousands of books, winged slingshots and maces, broken bottles containing solidified potions, hats, jewelry, cloaks that look like dragon eggshells There were a few corked bottles still gleaming evilly, rusty swords and a bloodstained axe.Everything you can think of, unexpected, seems to be here.How had he found the crown among all these things in the first place? !

Harry walked past the stuffed troll, past the vanishing cabinet that Draco Malfoy had tried to fix with disastrous results, and then he hesitated, eyeing the passage between the dumps, not remembering where to go next Go... Harry eagerly recalled the memory of being 17 years old, but it didn't help at all!He couldn't think of anything at all, Harry sighed helplessly, and went back to Gryffindor Tower.

Before you know it, the semester has started a week ago, and Ravenclaw and Slytherin have a match.Slytherin won, but it was close.Wood is very happy, this is good news for the Gryffindor team, if Gryffindor wins Ravenclaw, it can still occupy second place.So he increased his training time to five times a week.That meant that with Lupine's defense against dementors, Harry only had one night a week to do his homework, and he didn't even have time to meet Draco.And Lupine's extra class was even more tiring than the one he had experienced before, because this time he not only had to learn the Patronus Charm in front of Lupine, but also carefully maintained Occlumency to cover up his memory.

But even so, Harry didn't look as tired as Hermione.Harry looked at the tables in front of Hermione in awe with all kinds of textbooks and a wide range of notes spread out, and said cautiously, "Hermione, don't you think you're not in a good state right now?"

"What?!" Hermione asked impatiently. She has been like this recently. She rarely talks to others. If someone disturbs her, she will speak in a nasty voice.

"Well, I mean..." Harry considered his own words, "maybe you could drop a class or two for a bit?"

"No," said Hermione, looking surprised, "I can't!"

Harry opened his mouth and closed it again.He thought distressedly: Unless Hermione figured it out, no one would be able to convince her.

On the morning of the weekend, Harry woke up early, and the warm sun shone on him, making his whole body warm.Harry squinted. He needed Draco's help, having spent almost a year in the Room of Requirement.As for how to talk to Draco... "Hey!" Harry smiled and looked at Ron who had just woken up, "Would you like to ride a fire gun and fly around?"

Harry and Ron walked into the lobby together, put the torch on the table, and smiled as the students beside them exclaimed, "This is the torch!", and saw the Slytherin team with great satisfaction Everyone seems to have been struck by lightning.

"See his face?" snickered Ron, looking back at Malfoy. "He couldn't believe it, it was amazing..."

Students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff also gathered around.Cedric Diggory came over to congratulate Harry on getting such a nice broom in place of Nimbus, and Percy's Ravenclaw girlfriend, Penello, asked if she could actually get a fire broom.

"You're sure you can deal with that broom, Potter?" Draco walked over, with a pair of gray-blue eyes shining with an unknown light, and Crabbe and Goyle were right behind him.

"Yeah, maybe." Harry looked into his eyes and said meaningfully, "You came to see this broom?"

"There are many features, this broom..." Draco drew out his voice and stretched out his hand, "You can only rely on the broom to gain an advantage."

Crabbe and Goyle snickered, standing behind Draco.

"At least I don't have to buy one for everyone in the team, Malfoy." Harry fended off Draco's hand, "Stay away from it!"

Draco raised an eyebrow, and walked away slowly.Harry watched him rejoin the rest of the Slytherin team, who put their heads together, presumably asking Malfoy if Harry's broom was on fire.

Harry ignored it. After breakfast, he picked up the fire and went to the playground with Ron.

Draco watched Harry's leaving back, squinted his gray-blue eyes, and glanced at the note that had just been stuffed into his hand - Afternoon, Response Room.

On the playground, Harry handed the fire to Ron.Ron mounted his broom and took to the air with a ecstatic look on his face, while Harry walked along the edge of the pitch, watching him.

Until the sun was high in the sky, Harry carried the torch, and Ron and the two walked out of the stands, discussing the torch's extremely smooth movements, outstanding acceleration and cornering precision.When they were halfway to the castle, Harry looked to the left and saw what caught him off guard, a pair of eyes, glowing in the dark.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Harry tried his best to make himself smile at Ron naturally. Fortunately, Ron was still in the excitement of riding the fire, and he didn't notice Harry's hoarse voice.

Harry somewhat perfunctorily echoed Ron's eloquent praise for the fire, recalling the big, bony dog ​​in his memory, his eyes moistened all of a sudden.That was his godfather!The godfather who went to jail because of guilt, and escaped because he was worried about him!Harry closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the green eyes were hollow and frightening.

After lunch, Harry came to the eighth floor alone in his invisibility cloak.He walked back and forth three times and pushed open the door that appeared suddenly.

Harry closed the door and looked at Draco with an unhappy expression, "Draco, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me?" Draco looked at him angrily, "You must not meet somewhere else? Even an owl shed is better than here!" He took two steps closer angrily, "Also, you Can't you also write the password? What if I choose DA's room?"

Harry raised his head, his green eyes met the gray-blue ones, and said softly, "I think this room left a deep impression on both of us."

Draco pursed his lips, took a step back, and turned his head away, with complex emotions flowing in his gray-blue eyes.How could he forget?The hand stretched out to him, after seven years of looking forward to it, finally got it in this room.

"So?" Draco asked stiffly, "What are you going to say?"

Harry opened his mouth, still swallowing what he saw, and he simply replied: "I think it's better to destroy the Horcrux as soon as possible, it's too dangerous to put it in Hogwarts."

"Horcrux?!" Draco blushed, "You mean... Voldemort has a Horcrux in this room."

"Yeah." Harry licked his lips nervously. "Uh...didn't I mention? Ravenclaw's diadem."

"Obviously, you didn't!" Draco's teeth were about to grind, Merlin!Such an important thing!He gave Harry a hard look, "You tell me the location and appearance of those Horcruxes now!"

"The diary was destroyed in the second grade, the locket is at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, the ring is at Gaunt's old house in Little Hamerton, and Hufflepuff's gold cup is at Bellatrix Lestrange's vault, Nagini has been following the main soul, and the crown is here." Harry said quickly.

"Didn't it say there were seven?" Draco thought for a while and asked suspiciously.

Harry looked at him with a smile, and replied casually: "Draco, you forgot the main soul."

Draco gave him a skeptical look, then looked at the huge... junkyard, and sighed, "Let's get started!"

January turned into February, and Harry and Draco desperately discovered that they might need a Pensieve.On the contrary, Harry's defense against dementors course went very smoothly. His Occlumency is getting more and more proficient. Of course, the time spent using Occlumency this month may be longer than the time he spent in his previous life. All together.

It was another Hogsmeade day, and towards evening Harry said goodbye to Draco from the Room of Requirement and returned to join Ron in Gryffindor Tower.

Harry watched Ron dancing and introducing Hogsmeade to him when a letter was handed to him.Hermione's lips were trembling, and she said, "I thought you should know that Hagrid lost the case and Buckbeak was going to be executed."

When Harry took the letter, the parchment was damp, and the ink was smeared by large teardrops, making it difficult to read in places.Harry felt the tears hit his heart like a fist, making the back of his tongue bitter.He'd been ignoring his friends these days, Hagrid, Hermione, even Ron, who seemed to be inseparable from him.

All right!If anything made him feel better, Harry looked at Ron and Hermione embracing each other and breathed a sigh of relief, which at least eased his guilt a little.
