The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 555 Disturbing Conclusion

As soon as Link said this, Dumbledore was so surprised that he almost stood up.

Based on his cultivation, this situation can be said to be impossible.

But Dumbledore had no intention of thinking about his manners at the moment. He frowned and asked:

"This is impossible. Ravenclaw's diadem has been stolen by Helena a long time ago. She hid the diadem in the Albanian forest, and then both died. Since then, no one knows the whereabouts of the diadem!"

"Yes, this is a tragedy." Link said with a half-smile, "Helena Ravenclaw, the only daughter of Ms. Ravenclaw, a spoiled child, a child who has been radiated by her mother all her life. In order to prove that he is no worse than his mother, the suppressed child brazenly stole Ms. Ravenclaw's treasure—the diadem! In an attempt to gain greater wisdom!

Then her lover, Bloody Barrow, went to pursue her under the assignment of Lady Ravenclaw.

As a result, Helena was accidentally killed, and Barrow the Bloody committed suicide. "

Link paused, and the smile on his face became brighter, "Everyone should know the above. But who told you that no one knows the whereabouts of the crown?"

"There is no doubt that after hearing the news that the Ravenclaw Diadem was lost, wizards not only in Hogwarts but all over Europe went crazy!

In order to find the crown, they rushed from all over the world to the Albanian forest, where they started several small-scale wars in succession, almost razing the entire forest to the ground!

To this day, many students from Ravenclaw College will go to the Albanian forest after graduation in an attempt to find the crown of Ravenclaw and let the glory of wisdom return to Ravenclaw again.

No crown appears in a search of this magnitude unless..."

Dumbledore's eyes changed when he said this, "Unless Helena didn't hide the crown in the Albanian forest at all. She didn't even take the crown out of Hogwarts, but hid it directly in the Room of Requirement, and She created the illusion that the crown was taken away by her, and wanted to take it out after the incident subsided!"

Dumbledore was so excited when he said this that he couldn't help himself.

As he spoke, he walked around the office and danced from time to time.

This left Link speechless.

He didn't expect Dumbledore's reaction to this incident to be so great.

It was as if Dumbledore himself was related to this matter.

If you think about it carefully, this is really possible.

Dumbledore was not an easy man when he was young.

At that time, he and Grindelwald were obsessed with the treasure hunt game, trying to collect all the Deathly Hallows to see what would happen.

As a graduate of Hogwarts, it makes sense that he would go to the Albanian forest to look for the crown.

But the problem is that Dumbledore's analysis seems reasonable, but it is all wrong.

At the same time, Dumbledore finally observed Link's expression.

This made him instantly realize that he might have guessed wrong, and his originally fiery heart instantly cooled down.

He coughed twice, sat back on the sofa and said:

"Um, Link, stop being so pretentious and just tell us the results."

Link pursed his lips, suppressed a smile and said:

"First of all, the crown was indeed hidden by Helena in the Albanian forest. As for why people haven't found it after searching for it for so many years. I can only say that this is because those treasure hunters are too useless."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore's already embarrassed face suddenly grew longer.

Seeing this, Link continued without waiting for him to speak:

"Helena, now one of our Hogwarts ghosts, the Gray Lady, lied.

She said that she had forgotten the exact location of the crown due to death, but in fact, this was the cause of her death and her most profound memory. Except for those thousand-year-old ghosts, which ghost's memory would decline to this point? ?

The next thing is very simple.

The secrets that treasure hunters had been trying to pry out from Helena for hundreds of thousands of years were deceived by Voldemort in just a few years using smooth words.

Then, Voldemort found the diadem, transformed it into a Horcrux, and hid it in the Room of Requirement. "

Hearing this, Dumbledore's expression changed drastically.

Sometimes gloomy, sometimes angry.

But in the end, he returned to a calm expression.

Because Voldemort could do such a thing, he was really not surprised at all.

As mentioned before, the most feared thing about Voldemort is not his strength, but his devilish ability to destroy people's hearts.

This may not be obvious now.

After all, Voldemort has now made himself look like a human being and a ghost like a ghost. Not only has his soul been broken and he has become a semi-madman, but he has even lost his nose and hair.

But when he was young, Voldemort, no, Tom Riddle was a famous school boy at Hogwarts!

He has handsome appearance, strong physique, excellent grades and a high level of quotient!

Everyone, no matter what your status is, will feel like a spring breeze when chatting with him.

This led to everyone in Hogwarts at that time, including the professors, liking him very much. Especially when it came to dealing with women, Voldemort was a king-level professional player!

There is almost no way to count the witches who recommended themselves for pillow mats.

However, in such an environment, Tom Riddle always behaved neither humble nor overbearing, and was extremely restrained.

It is not too difficult to understand that such a person can pry the secret out of Helena.

After all, even though Helena is dead, she has become a ghost.

But at the end of the day, she is still a woman.

Moreover, Bloody Barro ignored her for hundreds of years because of his guilt.

Such a lonely woman met a considerate and beautiful boy like Tom Riddle...

Dumbledore's expression became a little strange, and he coughed twice again:

"I have a general understanding of the matter, and I don't want to investigate how you found out these things. For me, the result is the most important thing. So, how is your progress now? I mean, you How many Horcruxes were found?"

Link thought for a moment and then said:

"There are currently a total of five objects that have been confirmed as Horcruxes. They are Tom Riddle's diary, Gaunt's ring, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's golden cup and Ravenclaw's diadem.

Among them, Tom Riddle's diary Voldemort was supposed to be given to Lucius Malfoy for safekeeping.

But years after Voldemort died, Lucius expanded, causing the thing to flow into Hogwarts.

And destroyed by me in the Forbidden Forest.

Gunter's ring was hidden in Gunter's old house, and was found and destroyed by you and me.

You should also know about Slytherin's locket. It was originally hidden by Voldemort in the cave you raided earlier.

Although your raid failed.

But what was hidden in the cave was actually a fake.

The real locket had actually been stolen by Sirius's younger brother Regulus in advance and hidden in No. 12 Grimmauld Place in an attempt to destroy it.

As a result, the destruction failed, and I found and destroyed it again.

ValeRavenclaw's diadem is missing.

Hufflepuff's golden cup is hidden in the Gringotts vault in Lestrange.

I forced my way in and took care of it properly before returning it to Hufflepuff House. "

Link spoke a long list of words as if announcing the names of dishes, which made Dumbledore's eyes go straight.

Especially when he heard that the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was hidden in Gringotts and was forcibly broken in and taken away by Link, the muscles on his cheeks twitched unconsciously.

The Gringotts Heist was caused by Link.

Dumbledore knew this very well.

After all, when Link did this, he had no intention of hiding it from others for a long time.

Otherwise, Link would not have allowed Mrs. Foley to transfer the property in the Foley family's treasury.

But Dumbledore really didn't expect that the reason why Link wanted to rob Gringotts was because of Horcruxes!

In addition, Link’s progress is really terrible, right?

The forces of the Order of the Phoenix represented by him have worked hard for so long and spent so much effort, but the results are pitiful.

The only acquisition of Gaunt's ring was found by Dumbledore himself.

And if Link hadn't taken action in time, Dumbledore might have overturned.

What about Link's side?

This man had destroyed three Horcruxes without saying a word!

Dumbledore suddenly felt that his old face was a little hot, as if he had been slapped.

He just said before that he only cares about the results.

But now?

But judging from the results, Link seems to be the main force in the battle for Horcruxes with Voldemort.

As for him, the most powerful white wizard in this century, he is more like a bastard paddling.

This made Dumbledore a little embarrassed.

Link deliberately ignored Dumbledore for a while. It was only when Dumbledore turned his head pretending to check on Phoenix Fawkes that Link continued:

"Referring to the number of Horcruxes that have been discovered so far, as well as the shadow man who attacked Hogwarts on the night of Voldemort's resurrection, plus the two who rescued Voldemort, I guess there should be seven Horcruxes in Voldemort's total. Among them. In addition to Ravenclaw's diadem, two more Horcruxes should have been found and transformed into the Shadow Man."

As soon as he said this, Dumbledore's expression finally became serious.

His eyes were fixed on Link, as if he wanted to see something from the change in Link's expression.

This is a method commonly used by Dumbledore.

To a certain extent, it should be regarded as an application of the Legilimens Curse.

It's just that there is no magic involved. Strictly speaking, it is at best an experience of understanding people.

But no matter how profound Dumbledore's attainments in this area were, it was impossible for him to see anything on Link's face.

Because after Occlumency was upgraded to LV6, there was no observable abnormality in Link at all.

After watching for a while, Dumbledore sighed softly and said with emotion:

"Seven, this is a magic number. Voldemort especially believes in this. He has believed in this kind of thing since he was a student. Voldemort does have seven Horcruxes, but I don't know about the other Horcruxes, but there are A Horcrux was certainly not transformed into the Shadow Man."

Dumbledore is talking about Harry Potter.

The protagonist in the original work did indeed kill Voldemort under the magic of his mother's blood in the disaster more than ten years ago.

But with the combination of the Death Curse and blood magic, it miraculously absorbed part of Voldemort's remnant soul and became Voldemort's seventh Horcrux.

Otherwise, according to Voldemort's original plan, he should only have six Horcruxes.

Because including his main soul, the number of his split souls has reached seven.

Since Harry Potter was not dead yet, and his brain had just been invaded by Voldemort because he was a Horcrux some time ago, Harry Potter was naturally not transformed into the Shadow Man.

However, although Link knew this very well, he could not admit it.

It was outrageous enough to predict the location and information of so many Horcruxes before Dumbledore did.

If Link knew this secret, then Link's level of suspicion might instantly rise to a level that Dumbledore would have to be wary of.

After thinking about this, Link controlled his facial expression, frowned and pretended to be stupid:

"Why are you so sure?"

Dumbledore forced out a mysterious smile and said:

"Just like you can know the exact location of the Horcrux through special channels, I naturally have my own methods."

Link raised his eyebrows and sneered:

"What are you so proud of? Even if what you said is true, then you only controlled the whereabouts of one Horcrux, but I found and destroyed three of them!"

Yes, what am I proud of?

Thinking of this, the smile on Dumbledore's face disappeared instantly.

He smoothed his beard awkwardly and then changed the subject:

"In short, this is probably what happened. Among the three shadow men, at least one of them was not a Horcrux-transformed person. And this person is probably the black hand who has transformed other Horcruxes and is controlling all this behind the scenes. .”

After hearing this, Link finally became serious and nodded silently.

Although he still doesn't quite agree with this view deep down in his heart, based on the information they currently have, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

Dumbledore said again:

"But for now, their pattern of operations is somewhat incomprehensible.

They have four top-notch combat powers, but the only one who has been operating in the magic world of the country for a long time is the resurrected Lord Voldemort.

The remaining three shadow figures seemed to have been in a dormant state for a long time. "

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Link was stunned for a moment.

What Dumbledore just said was like a flash of lightning, suddenly exploding in his mind.

The mission content of "I am the Principal" and "I am the Minister" appeared in front of Link again.

Among them, the progress of the French Ministry of Magic and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry with high negative figures is eye-catching, and it is still so dazzling.

But what was different from before was that after receiving Dumbledore's unconscious words, Link had a new understanding of these two hints.

Link took a deep breath, stared at Dumbledore and said word by word:

"Then what if their main scope of activities is abroad?"
