[HP] Five Poisons

Chapter 52 The Mystery of the Golden Egg

The students of the entire Hufflepuff house gathered in the common room, forming several circles inside and outside, offering advice to Digory, who was the innermost of the circle.

Lynch, a girl with short hair who is also the seventh-grade senior with Digory, looked carefully at the golden egg in her hand and wondered, "Is there any specific way to open this thing? For example, it must be opened at a certain time, or Where is it open so it doesn't scream like that?"

Compared with the weird and obviously unreliable ideas before, such as "you have to bathe and kneel before you can open it", "give the egg back to the dragon, influence it with love, and it will lift the curse on the golden egg", Lin Qi's statement has been recognized by most people.

As a result, the topic changed from how to lift the curse to guessing a specific time or a specific place.

A fifth grade boy excitedly said, "Speaking of a special time, it must be the night of the full moon! That day is the day when the fairies are the most powerful! There is no more special time than the night of the full moon! "

This answer has aroused the approval of many people, however, some people have questioned it.

"The last full moon was two months later. At that time, the second competition had already been finished!" A small girl screamed, "This special time must be in the near future!"

Everyone raised their faces and thought for a while, then nodded, it makes sense!

Phoebe walked around the golden egg, and couldn't help knocking the golden egg on the round coffee table like an egg. Unfortunately, this thing was harder than an egg, and the coffee table was scratched a few times. The golden egg Still intact.

Phoebe stared at the golden egg silently for a long time, then suddenly suggested. "Put the Silencing Charm on and turn it on again? Maybe that piercing scream is just to confuse us and delay us."

Lynch was the first to object, "How could it be so simple, this is the Triwizard Tournament!"

"Why is it impossible?" Phoebe retorted, "It's because your thinking is too complicated that you fell into the trap."

The two disagreed and began to argue.

The little fat man poked Chi Mo beside him, "Actually, I think what they said is quite reasonable, but it's really a big deal, it's a golden egg, it's all made of gold!"

Unexpectedly, the organizer would be so generous, and the little fat man couldn't help but be speechless. "You must know that the final reward for the champion of the Triwizard Tournament is only one thousand gold Galleons!" He felt that with such a golden egg, it would be all right without the one thousand gold Galleons...

Chi Mo joked, "You can go to your male god and ask him to lend you a golden egg to sleep in for a night, and feel the richness of sleeping with a pile of gold."

"That can't be done." The little fat man shook his head again and again.

Chi Mo was about to praise him, when he heard the little fat man sigh, "If I really hugged him and slept all night, I will definitely not give it back to him again. For my good image in my male god's heart, I have to kill the signs In the cradle."

"...I'm really enlightened." Chi Mo said dryly, "Your male god will be very moved when he finds out."

The little fat man looked shy. "Actually, it's okay~ You know, I've always been like this~"

Chi Mo: "..."

In the end, Digory had to try Phoebe's proposal on the spot in order to quell the verbal war between Phoebe and Lynch, even though he himself agreed with Lynch's idea——

And the facts proved that he was not wrong.

Screams resounded through the common room again, and Diggory almost smashed the golden egg.

After a period of chaos, the common room finally became quiet again.

The closest, Phoebe, who was the first to bear the brunt of the unlucky one, fell down on the sofa and died after being devastated by the second wave of screams.

Lynch flicked his short hair triumphantly—a certain idiot finally successfully proved his stupidity in front of everyone.

The Hufflepuffs, who had been abused twice, began to discuss Lynch's proposal calmly, lest there be a third disaster, and they would end up with Phoebe, who was on the sidelines.

"Try taking it to the top of the Astronomy Tower?" Someone suggested, "That's the highest place in Hogwarts, where you can absorb the essence of heaven and earth..."

"It's also possible to turn it on at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?" Another person suggested, "That's the time when black and white alternate, and we can try it tonight."

"No, no, I think it's better at one o'clock in the morning. I see that many of the horror stories are after one o'clock in the morning, and ghosts will appear!"

……

The little fat man, whose head was getting bigger from the noise, fell to Chi Mo. Chi Mo bent down and picked up the hairpin that the girl in the back row dropped. On the arm of the chair.

Standing up straight again, Chi Mo, whose back was shaken a bit, turned his head and asked strangely, "Why are you sleeping here?"

fatty:"……"

"Where do you think it will be opened?" The little fat man pushed himself back to his seat as if nothing had happened, and cleverly changed the subject. "Actually, I think the one at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night is quite reliable. The organizers will definitely not let the contestants spend so much time opening an egg."

"This..." Chi Mo looked at the golden egg that had returned to Digory's hand, and touched his chin. "The more common way to read secret letters in the past is nothing more than roasting and smoking, and soaking in water. I don't know if the magic world also uses this method."

During the heated discussion, Digory, who was almost squeezed out, just heard the conversation between Chi Mo and the little fat man, and his eyes lit up, "You are right, we can try."

Chi Mo patted the double-sided mirror face down on the desk, and turned to ask the house elf who was humming a cheerful ditty while arranging flowers. "Rona, hasn't Regulus come back yet?"

Hearing this, the little elf who was named stopped her movements, opened her big eyes, and looked innocently at her young master. "No, Ruona didn't see the master when she went back to the manor to get the flowers today. Master Kreacher said that the master didn't go back."

"Is that so?" Chi Mo frowned slightly in confusion, "But I can't contact him, the other end of the double-sided mirror is always gray." Even the black leather notebook that the two used to communicate at the beginning , Regulus never responded to him.

Thinking of Regulus' identity, Chi Mo couldn't help but worry, "Is nothing wrong?"

"It won't happen." Ruona quickly comforted, "Master is so powerful! Nothing will happen! Don't worry, young master!"

"But since then, I haven't been able to contact him." Chi Mo became annoyed. If he had known that night, he would have asked Regulus exactly where he was going—since he was carrying a suitcase, That must be a long trip, and the time will not be too short.

Wait, speaking of suitcases, he remembered, at that time...

"Rona, does Kreacher know where Regulus has gone?"

Ruona pointed at her little finger uneasily, looked up at Chi Mo cautiously, then lowered her head, "Ruona, Ruona doesn't know, Master Kreacher didn't say anything."

"That's it..." Chi Mo was silent for a while, and took out the badge that Regulus gave him last Christmas from the package.I remember Regulus said that this is the key to the Black Manor.

Ruona, who had been secretly watching Chi Mo, was stunned when she saw the thing in Chi Mo's hand, and then said loudly. "Ruona will go back to the manor to ask Mrs. Kreacher! Please don't worry, young master! Ruona will be back soon!" After speaking, she disappeared in place after a loud roar, without even asking her young master's permission. Consent disappears by itself.

Chi Mo, who once again saw the elf's powerful mobility, was stunned for a while, looked at the empty carpet, and silently took back the badge.

Sirius met Harry who had been waiting here in an empty classroom on the second floor.

"Oh! Harry!" The first thing Sirius did when he entered the door was to give his godson a big hug. "It's really great that you're okay."

Harry, who lost his parents when he was still a baby, longed for a home that no one else could understand.His father has passed away. Fortunately, he still has a godfather. Although it is 13 years late, it is enough.

Harry buried his face in Sirius' arms and happily hugged his godfather back.

After the father and son hugged each other warmly, Sirius pulled Harry to sit down on a chair, and he also brought a chair over by himself.

Sirius was the first to thank, "Sorry, Harry, I was called back to the Ministry just after you finished the game. Someone found the Death Eaters in a deserted village. I had to go there, and I couldn't report to the Ministry immediately. You congratulate, sorry, Harry."

Because he missed Harry's growth in the first 13 years, Sirius was always a little sensitive and even cautious in front of Harry due to extreme guilt and shame.

"That's nothing." Harry shook his head indifferently. "Your job is more important. Well, have you caught anyone?"

Sirius shook his head, "By the time we got there, the whole village would have been burned."

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Harry didn't know how to comfort Sirius, who looked a little depressed. He had a deep understanding of the man in front of him who hated the Death Eaters, because he also had a deep hatred for the mysterious man and his group.

Harry thought again of the strange dream that had been haunting him since school started.perhaps……

"Okay. Let's not talk about that." Sirius wiped his face and smiled, "Come on, tell me, how about your trophy, that golden egg, have you thought of a way?"

At the mention of this, Harry's face crumpled into a pickle. "Not yet, that screaming sound is a nightmare."

Sirius moved the chair forward with interest, "Did you bring it?"

Harry nodded, and handed Sirius the golden egg that had been hidden in his coat until now.

Sirius held the golden egg in his hand and looked at it for a while, then asked, "You mean, this thing screams when it's opened?"

"Yes." Harry still has lingering fears from the torment of the magic voice. "I've never heard a sound like that. It's like ignoring your ears and screaming in your head. It's just horrible. I've never heard that."

Sirius, who already had the answer, threw the golden egg back into Harry's arms. When Harry was frantically reaching out to catch the egg, he relaxed and leaned back on the chair behind him, with one arm resting on the back of the chair, elegantly He raised his long legs and smirked. "Harry, you are as unappreciative as James, and that is the most beautiful voice in the world."
