Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 50 Ravenclaw's Crown and the Coming Showdown

for the next week.

Because they didn't know that John had threatened Malfoy, every time Harry and the others always felt that Malfoy looked at them with a bit of malice.

So Harry and the others stayed in Hagrid's dim hut for most of their spare time this week out of safety considerations, telling Hagrid the facts and reasoning, and persuading him to send Norbert away.

"You just let it go," Harry urged earnestly, "let it go."

"I can't," said Hagrid, holding tightly to the dragon that was biting his finger. "It's too small, it's going to die."

Hearing what Hagrid said, Harry and the others were a little helpless, because just like Ron said, in just one week, the length of this little dragon was already three times that of its newborn, from the blank brandy bottles piled up on the ground And chicken feathers can be seen, the appetite changes brought about by growth.

And unlike newborns who can only spit out sparks, now Norbert can already spew out flames, and there are scorched marks in many places in the hut, and even just now Norbert spewed fire at Hagrid, almost killing Hagrid's body. Beard lit.

Moreover, Hagrid has put aside the work of guarding the hunting grounds in order to take care of the little dragons. Harry is really worried that this will attract the professor to check the situation and fire Hagrid after discovering Norbert.

Especially that fellow Snape, he will find a way to send Hagrid to Azkaban if he finds out.

"Hagrid," Harry raised his voice, "in two weeks, Norbert will be as long as your house, and Malfoy may go to Dumbledore at any time."

Hagrid bit his lip, with tears in his eyes: "I...I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away like this, no!"

At this moment, Hermione said, "By the way, Ron, John told me to ask you to write to your brother Charlie, asking him to come and take Norbert away."

"Yes!" Ron hammered his palm suddenly.

Then Ron looked at Hagrid and asked directly, "How is it, Hagrid?"

Hagrid was still worried that Norbert would be taken away by Charlie and sent to a wild environment where it would be difficult for him to survive. In the end, under the persuasion of the three of Harry, Hagrid relaxed his attitude.

Agree that they send an owl to ask Charlie first.

They also asked Hedwig to send a letter to John to inform him about this matter, but it was a pity that they felt a little regretful after John replied that he had something to do recently and could not participate.

However, this does not mean that John did not make any preparations. He had already issued an order to Norbert not to resist when he was about to be sent away. He also told Hagrid about this matter. Although Hagrid was sad at the time, he still nodded. express understanding.

After that, after Ron was bitten and hospitalized, after Charlie wrote back to set the time, the time soon came to the Saturday that he had agreed with Charlie to pick up Norbert
Harry and the others were busy preparing to send Norbert away that day, and John was also busy with his affairs.

After returning from Principal Dumbledore's office last time, John went to the eighth floor, found the famous troll ballet portrait, and then successfully entered the Room of Requirement.

After confirming that house-elves are free to come and go in the House of Requirement, John asks Tom and the house-elves in the kitchen to help him find Ravenclaw's diadem.

As for why John can persuade the elves in Hogwarts to help him, it is not only because he is a Hufflepuff, but also because John's friendly attitude towards house elves from the heart makes him a house elf our friends.

This is what saved John the time and effort of finding the crown

If it was him alone, trying to find Ravenclaw's crown accurately from the huge mountain-like pile of debris without using magic was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

He remembered that the diadem lay next to the battered bust of an ugly old warlock, covered with rust.

Perhaps it was John's prompt that greatly narrowed the scope of the search. After many searches, finally on the night Harry and the others were about to send Norbert away, Tom sent a rusty and dark crown again wearing dragon leather gloves.

Unlike before, this time John was sure that this was what he was looking for at the first sight of the crown.

Because within the magic field of vision, there was a sticky shadow wrapped around the crown, which was exactly the same as the shadow on Quirrell.

Although it looked rusty now, it was just a magical disguise, and John took out his wand and cast a spell on the diadem.

As the magic light flashed, the rust on the crown fell off little by little, and even the style was turned upside down.

The crown placed on the table at this moment looks like a raven with wings spread, with many magical sapphires inlaid on it, and the silver-white fairy metal glistens.

Looking closer at the base of the diadem, you can also see Ravenclaw's famous motto engraved on it.

【Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of human beings】

Perhaps the disguise was removed, awakening the remnant soul in the crown.

Just as he stretched out his hand to pick up the crown, but the moment he just touched it, a lot of noisy ravings sounded in John's mind, constantly tempting him to wear the crown and gain wisdom beyond ordinary people.

But John, who had been prepared for a long time, would naturally not be affected by these ravings.

However, these babblings were indeed noisy. John withdrew his hand, put on his gloves, picked up the crown, and put it directly into a metal box. This is an alchemy tool he specially made to isolate all contact with the outside world.

When the lid was closed, light spots flashed slightly in the magic circle on the box, and the box became a whole without gaps.

Unless the magic of Howl's world or Fiercefire Curse is used, any magic of the main world cannot open this box.

Ask Tom to send it to the underground vault of the villa and keep it safe. John is going to study the Horcrux after the system cooling time is over, learn soul magic in Hal's world, and try to research the method of separating Voldemort's soul fragments at once. Method.

After confirming that the box was placed in the center of a specific magic circle by Tom, John was a little relieved and began to study alchemy and new magic again.

When he woke up the next day, John was surprised to find that the hourglass belonging to Gryffindor outside the auditorium was missing a lot.

After asking Tom, I found out that the delivery of Norbert last night was actually very smooth. Norbert, who obeyed John's order, didn't even need to be given medicine to stun him. He took the initiative to cooperate with Harry and they were taken away by Charlie.

But after Harry and the others sent Norbert away, although Malfoy didn't inform him, Harry still forgot to take the Invisibility Cloak. When he returned to the dormitory, he was discovered by Filch and sent to Professor McGonagall's office, which deducted a full 150 points. .

However, it seems that considering that the Forbidden Forest is not safe now, Harry and his confinement consisted of going to the showroom to wipe those medals and trophies.

John walked into the auditorium and found Harry and the three sitting in a corner with ugly faces.

Originally, Harry was one of the most popular people in Gryffindor because he was the savior and won Quidditch twice for the academy, but now he has become the target of public criticism.

Although everyone shouted that it would be impossible to beat him, any Gryffindor classmates who saw him now would point fingers at Harry, Ron, and Hermione without even lowering their voices.

On the contrary, Slytherin expressed kindness to Harry, but this kindness also worsened Harry's situation in Gryffindor to a certain extent.

Because they applauded Harry and thanked him for his contribution to Slytherin. After all, Harry's two Quidditch victories added a lot of points to Gryffindor, directly surpassing Slytherin.

You must know that before this, Slytherin had won the Academy Cup for six consecutive years.

They are eager to achieve the achievement of seven consecutive years, because the number 7 has magical power in the wizarding world, and if it is achieved, it will be eternal glory.

Then their attitude is also understandable.

Soon it will be June

John has been busy with the club's assessment during this time.

The paper to be published on "Transformation Today" has been handed over to Professor McGonagall. It is said that there is a high probability that it will be published in the magazine, so Professor McGonagall waived his final Transfiguration exam and directly gave him an O.

Professor Flitwick wanted him to fight in an actual battle, but he could only use the magic of the first-year professor. However, after John was released, he still easily defeated the seniors of the same club, and once again obtained an O and the qualification for exemption.

Professor Sprout's club assessment required him to identify herbs based on leaves, and John naturally completed it easily, and naturally obtained the qualification for exemption and an O.

But Snape didn't conduct the assessment, or the other party never let him come to the club after they regarded him as a disciple.

According to the Snake King, he is no longer the head of a giant monster, so don't stay with those guys anymore, lest his head will be polluted again.

Just a week before the exam, John was preparing to go to the library when he saw Quirrell sneaking into an empty classroom from a distance.

"Noiseless"

"Disler Falcon Mentor"

With the release of the Silent Charm and the Disillusionment Charm, John blended into the surrounding environment like a chameleon.

Having already silenced his voice, he stepped forward quickly, wanting to see what Quirrell was going to do.

After he approached, he could clearly hear Quirrell's suppressed crying in the classroom,

"No... no... can't do it anymore, please..."

It sounds like someone is threatening him, but it is true. John guesses that he has not got the Philosopher's Stone, and Voldemort is forcing Quirrell to act as soon as possible.

Sure enough, with a few suppressed howls of pain, he heard Quirrell say again: "I will...I will..."

Afterwards, seeing Quirrell hurried out of the classroom, John immediately shifted to the blind spot on the other side of him, watching him tidying up his scarf while wiping away his tears and leaving here.

But looking at Quirrell's pale face, it seems that he was well concocted by Voldemort just now.

Just when John was about to leave here, he saw Harry quietly coming out from the corner on the other side, leaning over to the classroom and looking inside.

Taking a last look at the opposite classroom, his expression changed, and he immediately turned around and left.

After he left, John dispelled the magic and walked out from the corner.

Looking at the current situation, the play will come to an end in a few days, and Quirrell will receive his lunch box soon. He needs to plan carefully and make some preparations in advance.

Thinking that the place is full, John turned around and went to the fourth floor, walked quickly to the innermost room on the fourth floor, took out a pen and drew a magic circle on the wooden door, so that he could feel it whenever someone pushed the door.

John just left the fourth floor.
