[Soccer+HP] Mario and the Vanishing King

Andre showed up a week before Christmas.

During the month of his disappearance, Mario and Marco tried almost all means, but they couldn't figure out what happened to him and where he went.They even asked Professor Loew insinuatingly during club activities, and the answer they got was: He is fine, don't worry.Marco said he would bet that Professor Love knew where Andre was going, and Mario thought so too, but the problem was that Professor Love just refused to tell them.

Andre came in through the open door with the owls early Thursday morning and was unquestionably the center of attention.Unfortunately, during his absence for a month, rumors abounded in the castle. Some said he was expelled, some said he escaped from the castle, and others said that his family had offended foreign dark wizards and was killed by enemies. Chased him to the school, and was killed in the end.The last rumor was especially frightening. For a while, everyone in the school was in danger, and everyone was worried that the dark wizard would come to the castle.

"Where did you go?" Mario asked worriedly after Andre sat down amidst everyone's pointing with a normal expression.

"We've been looking for you for a long time!" Marco frowned, "You should send us a letter!"

"I'm on a business trip," Andre said casually, taking a plate and filling himself with some boiled beans, "and I sent you a letter, please Granke."

"That's not a letter at all! I thought, I thought I understood that the letter is signed and signed, and it tells about your situation!" Marco said angrily, "It's not a note with only four words on it, but also Let us guess whether it is your handwriting!"

"Hey, calm down, you can hear the whole auditorium." Andre reminded him.

"Andre, we are very worried about you..." Mario said softly, "We are looking for you like crazy, but no one knows... We even asked Professor Love, but he refused to tell us. This one We're all scared... for Merlin's sake, we're friends!"

Andre sighed and said: "I know... I'm sorry, but the situation was urgent, and I couldn't explain it to you at the time. I know you care about me, and I'm really sorry."

"So can we talk now?" Marco asked bluntly, still angry.

"Of course, I have already asked Professor Love, and he said that I can tell you, but..." Andre lowered his voice, "I can only tell you two, and you must swear to keep it secret."

"I could swear it," Mario said.

"I won't say it." Marco also expressed his position.

"Go to the tapestry on the eighth floor after dinner." Andre whispered in their ears, and then he stuffed the last bite of boiled beans into his mouth, "I'm off to class, see you at noon!" He winked at them, Then left the table.

"Why has he become more and more mysterious recently?" Marco stared at Andre's back suspiciously.

"I always feel that Andre must have a lot of things to hide from us..." Mario said, "Also, it seems that we can't help with those things."

"Well, who made him a nobleman." Marco said and shook his head.

After dinner, the three sneaked out of the auditorium again.This time the stairs on the first floor did not move, so they had to climb up to the eighth floor from the stairwell. In order not to be noticed, they also chose the most biased staircase, but unfortunately, they ran into Philip on the seventh floor .

"Mario? Why are you here?" Philip looked at them suspiciously.

"us……"

"We want to ask Professor Lampard some questions!" Marco said immediately, which made Mario look at him with admiration. "Before...we learned the levitation spell before, but I still don't think I have grasped the essentials."

"Yes, and we are worried that this spell will be tested in the final exam. It is better to figure it out now than to rush before the exam." Andre added.

"You are right, and Hogwarts final exams are not easy at all, it is right to prepare early." Philip said appreciatively, "Professor Lampard's office is over there, I just came from inside Come out, the professor happens to be free." He pointed to the first door on the right.

"Thank you, Philip!" Mario thanked quickly.

"You're welcome, let's go." Philip said with a smile, then turned and went downstairs.

Now they have no choice but to go to Professor Lampard's office.Otherwise, if Philip and the professor mentioned this one day, and they didn't go to see Professor Lampard at all, it would make people suspicious.

They went to the office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Professor Lampard's voice came from inside.

"It's you," said Professor Lampard with a smile on his face, looking at the three young wizards from behind a pair of rimless glasses. "Trouble with spells again, eh? Mr. Royce?" His last sentence was clearly addressed to Marco.

"Yes, Professor." Marco answered very naturally, "I think my understanding of the Levitation Curse is not good enough, and Mario and Andre also want to practice more. So, we would like to trouble you to guide us .”

"Of course, gentlemen." Professor Lampard stood up and walked to the desk. "But I think this office may not have enough space. We have three little wizards, right?" He winked at them . "Let's figure out a way, ah, we have—" He leaned down and said with a smile, "Why don't we borrow the Transfiguration classroom tomorrow night, it's spacious enough! I'll have a good fight with Professor Klose Hello, how is it?"

"Great!" Marko said happily.

"I'll see you tomorrow night, gentlemen!" said Professor Lampard. "Good night."

After leaving Professor Lampard's office, they cautiously looked around and found no one around, so they quickly trotted up to the eighth floor.

"Marco, do you often go to see Professor Lampard?" Mario was a little strange, "It seems that you are very familiar with the professor."

"I like the floating spell very much, so I am particularly interested in the spell class. When I have time, I always go to Professor Lampard for advice on spells." Marco explained, "Professor Lampard is really nice. , taught me a lot of tricks.”

"No wonder you said so slyly in front of Philip just now, I almost suspected that you were possessed by Andre." Mario teased him with a smile.

"That's because I'm telling the truth. I'm not like Andre, who doesn't change his face when he tells a lie." Marco said and glanced at Andre.

"Sometimes lying is a necessary skill," Andre dismissed it, still leading the way, "especially when protecting your companions."

"I don't need your protection!" Marco muttered in a low voice, "Who do you think you are? You are obviously 11 years old like us."

"But Andre does know a lot more than us." Mario pointed out wisely, "He's just better than us, you have to admit that, Marco."

"Yes, he is the most powerful." Marco perfunctory, "Is he the savior?"

"Don't say that, Mr. Harry Potter is the savior. No one in this world can shoulder such an important responsibility like him, and he really saved the world." Andre stopped talking, "Here we are."

They came to the big tapestry again. The ballet teacher was trying to teach the troll to dance ballet. The troll quickly lost patience and took out his stick and started chasing him.

They stood there watching for a moment, then Andre turned around, drew his wand and pointed it at the white wall. "This is the Room of Requirement."

"So what exactly is the Room of Requirement?" Mario asked. "After you sent the note, we went to the library and checked, and there is no record of it."

"Of course it won't be in the school history, or everyone would know about it," Andre said. "It's one of the castle's secrets. This room can be what you need it most, if you need to hide something stuff, it turns into a utility room, and if you need some sweeping tools, you'll find a broom in there..."

"If you're starving and sleepy to death—" Mario realized.

"Then it will become a room with three four-poster beds and a table full of delicious food." Andre nodded to confirm his thoughts.

"Then if someone is anxious in the middle of the night, will it create a room full of chamber pots?" Marco wondered.

"It's very possible," Andre said. "And most people ignore it. Usually people stumble across it and then they can't find it. And, there are ways to use it."

"What method?" Marco asked immediately, his curiosity had been completely aroused.

"I'll show you." Andre said.

He put his wand back into his robe, and then walked past the wall while muttering.When he reached the window on the right, he turned around and turned back, then walked left along the path he had just walked to the other end, where there was a vase as tall as a person, and then he turned back again.When he passed the wall for the third time, Mario was surprised to find that a very smooth door suddenly appeared on the white wall.

"This door is different from what we saw last time." Marco looked closer, a little suspicious, "You really succeeded?"

"I don't think there is any problem. The Room of Requirement will look different under different requirements. We can't ask the broom room to look the same as the gate of the auditorium, can we?" Andre said, "And my friend is in school. I have used this room before, so the method he said should not be wrong. Why don’t you come in and take a look?” He said as he twisted the copper handle and opened the door.

When they entered, they found the room transformed into a sort of common room, with a warming fireplace and a comfortable couch, and several cushioned armchairs.The decorations inside the room are all composed of red, yellow and green, which seems to take into account the three colleges well, and Mario also found the scarves of the three colleges on the hanger beside them.

"Who is that mysterious friend of yours?" Mario asked curiously.

"Ron Weasley." Andre said as he closed the door, walked to the fireplace and sat down to try the softness of the sofa, "When I sent the letter, he had just returned from a mission with Mr. Potter, So it was just in time, but his little owl was a little too rambunctious and it took me a long time to get him to quiet down."

"You know Ron Weasley?" Marko raised his voice in surprise.

"It's nothing surprising. The ancient wizarding families are more or less connected. If you go back far enough, then everyone is still relatives." Andre shrugged, "When my mother was still in Germany She knew the Weasleys, and she was invited to Bill Weasley's wedding after we moved to England."

"Can I have one of his autographs?" Marco said hopefully. "I want him to write that 'Weasley is our king'!"

Andre stopped and looked at Marco for a long time, as if he felt that this request was a bit ridiculous, but in the end he found that Marco was serious. "Okay," he said with a sigh, "since you really want to... I'll tell him, the next time I see him."

"Andre, what did you want to tell us in the morning?" Mario found that the topic was getting a bit far away, so he hurriedly asked the main point.

"Don't you want to know what I did?"

Both Mario and Marco nodded.

"It may take a little longer to explain the whole thing." Andre said, "Maybe we can have a pot of tea and talk while drinking?" A tea set appeared.Mario went over and poured everyone a glass, then sat down on the hearth rug with his own.

Now the scene looks a bit like listening to a bedtime story.

"Okay," Andrei cleared his throat, "let's start at the beginning."

Once upon a time, there were three brothers who were hurrying along a secluded path, and it was nearly dusk.As they walked, they came to a river that was too deep to wade through, and too dangerous to swim across.However, the three brothers were proficient in magic, and with a wave of their wands, a bridge appeared on the treacherous water.When they reached the middle of the bridge, a hooded figure blocked their way.

Death spoke to them.Reaper was so angry that he lost three new offerings - as travelers usually drown in this river.But Death is cunning.He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic, saying that they had eluded death by their cleverness, and that each would receive a reward.

The boss is a warlike man who wants the most powerful wand in the world: a wand that can always help his master win in a duel, a wand worthy of a wizard who has conquered death!The Grim Reaper went to an elder tree on the shore, and made a wand out of the hanging branches, and gave it to the eldest brother.

The second child is an arrogant man who decides to continue humiliating the god of death, and what he wants is the ability to bring the dead back to life.The god of death picked up a stone from the shore and gave it to the second child, telling him that this stone has the ability to bring back the dead.

Then Death asked the youngest, the third, what he wanted.The third child is the most humble and the smartest one, and he doesn't believe in death.So he wanted something so that no matter where he went, the god of death could not find him.Reaper reluctantly gave him his invisibility cloak.

Then the god of death stood aside and let the three brothers continue on their way. They talked about the wonderful experience just now, admired the gift of the god of death, and walked forward.

Later, the three brothers broke up and moved towards their respective destinations.

The boss was gone for over a week.Came to a remote mountain village and quarreled with a wizard.Naturally, with the "Elder Wand" made of elderberry as his weapon, he would undoubtedly win the duel.After his opponent fell dead, he went on, entered a tavern, and boasted loudly of his invincibility with the mighty wand he had received from Death.

That night, after the eldest was very drunk, another wizard crept up to his bed, stole the wand, and slit his throat.

In this way, Death took the boss's life.

At the same time, the second child returned to the home where he lived alone, took out the stone that could bring the dead back to life, and turned it in his hand three times.To his surprise, the girl he wanted to marry, but unfortunately died young, immediately appeared in front of him.

But she was sad and indifferent, and there seemed to be a veil between them.Although she returned to the world, she did not really belong here, and she was in pain.In the end, the second child is tormented by hopeless longing and commits suicide in order to actually be with her.

In this way, the god of death took the life of the second child.

However, the god of death has been looking for the third child for many years, but has never been able to find him.The third child lived until he was very old, finally took off the cloak of invisibility and handed it to his son, and then greeted death like an old friend, and happily left the world with him as an equal.

After the story was told, no one in the room spoke for a long time.

"I've heard the story," Marko said softly. "Dad told it to me when I was little, but then he said... he told the story... about the 'Deathly Hallows.'"

"What is the Deathly Hallows?" Mario asked, only he was hearing the story for the first time.

"It's the wand, stone and invisibility cloak in the story." Marco explained, but he couldn't explain in detail.

"That's right, the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak are called the Deathly Hallows, and there are even rumors that those who possess these three things at the same time can defeat the God of Death." Andre looked at them and said, "But this fairy tale The characters in the book are real. The three Peverell brothers are very powerful wizards. They created these three powerful magic items. These three things were once in the hands of Mr. Harry Potter and helped He defeated Voldemort."

Andre stood up, walked to the small round table and poured himself another cup of tea.He took a sip from his glass, then went on: "After the Battle of Hogwarts, the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone have disappeared, and no one knows where they are except probably Mr. Harry Potter himself. And that The invisibility cloak, as a symbol of Ignotus, has been kept by his descendants, that is, Mr. Harry Potter."

"Harry Potter is the descendant of the three brothers?" Marco heard the explosive news again.

"Could it be that the month you disappeared has something to do with this...'Deathly Hallows'?" Mario guessed.

Andre nodded at them. "Mr. Potter is indeed a descendant of Ignotus Peverell, and my going out this time is indeed related to the Deathly Hallows." He put down the cup in his hand and said slightly seriously, "The Resurrection Stone Turned up at Hogwarts."

"What?" The two said in unison.

"The Resurrection Stone, the Stone of Cadmus, or whatever you want to call it. Legend has it that it is a stone that can bring the dead back to life, but as the story goes, it doesn't really bring the dead back to life. Dead people It will return as a ghost under its call, but only the owner of the stone can see them. And once the owner puts the stone down, those people will disappear.

"On the morning when I went to the owl hut, Professor Love suddenly found me, and I was taken to Headmaster McGonagall's office by him. There, Professor McGonagall told me that the Resurrection Stone appeared, right in Hogwarts In the Forbidden Forest of Ci."

"Resurrection stone?"

"At Hogwarts?"

"It was discovered by the horse people." Andre sat back on the sofa and hugged a dark green cushion to his chest, "The horse people usually don't care about the fate of human beings, but they saw the resurrection stone from the stars that day." Perhaps a well-meaning centaur among them told Hagrid, and Hagrid immediately reported to Headmaster McGonagall. And Headmaster McGonagall believed that the resurrection stone should and must come from the descendants of Cadmus himself disposal."

After saying this, Andre raised his head and found that his friends all opened their mouths in astonishment and didn't speak for a long time.

"So, so...you are...you are..." Marco stuttered when he spoke again.

"I know you are surprised, but this is not something I can choose." Andre sighed and said, "And I was no less surprised than you at the time, my mother never told me until she died, the Schurle family Something to do with the Peverell family."

"Then... what did you do with that stone?" Mario asked.

"I went to the Forbidden Forest with Professor Love and found it under the guidance of the centaur. Professor Love gave me a special container and helped me put it in it with a spell so that I would not have to touch it. It was. Then I went home with the stone and showed it to Sean, who told me all about the Schurrler family. But this has nothing to do with you, so I won't go into details.

"Then I went back to Godric's Hollow for the first time, which is where the Peverell family came from. It took a lot of work for Sean and I to get there as I was too young to Apparate, and then I left the Stone of Cadmus where it should be. But I can't tell you where it is, and even Sean doesn't know. I walked the last part of the road by myself. When I came back, Shaw Eun put an Amnesiac on me, so I don't remember myself."

After speaking such a long paragraph, Andre finally let out a long breath. “Honestly, it’s nice to have someone to listen to and I feel so much more at ease,” he said with a laugh.

"Andre, I think you are a bit great." Marco looked at him and said slowly, "Now I don't think you look like an 11-year-old little wizard."

"Are you laughing at me for growing old?" Andre frowned pretending to be dissatisfied.

"I don't know... I just don't think anyone can do what you do at the age of 11, not even Harry Potter." Marko said seriously. You are brave enough to have a permanent effect on your memory."

"I feel very proud now," Mario said with a smile, "I feel that I have a particularly great friend. This kind of pride is unparalleled! Even if the entire Hogwarts cafeteria belongs to me!"

"You're so embarrassing to me." Andre grinned rarely, and he stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, "So have you been home for Christmas?"

"You changed the subject so bluntly, I thought you were amazing just now!" Marco immediately rolled his eyes at him.

"Hey, I'm just an 11-year-old little wizard!" Andre said dissatisfied.

"But you are so powerful, of course we have different requirements for you." Mario said with a smile, and also got Andre's supercilious look, "Okay, okay, neither of us will go home, don't worry It is said that Professor Love is holding a special event in the club!"

Andre flattened his mouth pretending to be wronged. "I thought you were here to spend the holidays with me."

"Your home is in London, why don't you go home?" Marco asked.

"Of course it's because I'm just an 11-year-old little wizard," Andre stared at him bluntly, "and it's unfortunate that my parents are no longer alive."

"Oh, well... sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Don't worry about Marco, he just can't talk." Mario quickly comforted Andre, "Of course we want to spend Christmas with you. And there are so many people in the club, Christmas needs more people to be warm!"
