94 Diagon Alley

"We need to find a thing," said Harry, "a—something that will help us overthrow You-Know-Who. Right here at Hogwarts, but don't know where exactly. . It might belong to Ravenclaw. Has anyone heard of such a thing? Has anyone come across, say, something with a Ravenclaw eagle on it?"

He looked hopefully at the small group of Ravenclaw students, from Padma, Michael, Terry, to Cho Chang, who was sitting on Ginny's armrest. Luna responded.

"By the way, her missing tiara. I told you that, remember, Harry? Ravenclaw's missing tiara? My dad wanted to copy it."

"Yes, but the missing crown," said Michael Corner, rolling his eyes, "is missing, Luna. That seems to be the key."

"When did it disappear?" Harry asked.

"I heard it was many centuries ago," said Cho Chang, and Harry's heart sank, "Professor Flitwick said that the crown disappeared with Ravenclaw himself. People Looked, but," she looked at her Ravenclaw classmates pleadingly, "no one found a clue, did they?"

They all nodded.

"Excuse me, what is a crown?" Ron asked.

"It's a kind of crown," Teri Boot said. "The Ravenclaw crown has magical properties that increase the wisdom of the wearer."

"Yes, my dad's molefly siphon—"

Harry interrupted Luna.

"Have none of you seen anything like that?"

They all shook their heads again. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione and saw the same disappointment on their faces. Something that's been missing for so long, without any obvious clues, seems unlikely to be the Horcrux hidden in the castle... However, before he could ask a new question, Qiu Zhang spoke again.

"If you want to see what the crown looks like, I can take you up to our common room and show you, okay, Harry? Ravenclaw's statue With it."

Harry's scar burned again: for a moment, the Room of Requirement floated before him, and he saw the dark ground fly by under him, and felt the serpent coiling around his shoulders . Voldemort was flying again, to the subterranean lake, or to here - Hogwarts Castle, he didn't know, but either way, their time was running out.

"He's on his way," Harry whispered to Ron and Hermione. He glanced at Qiu Zhang, then turned to face them both. "Listen to me, I know it's not a big clue, but I'd like to see the statue anyway, to at least find out what the crown looks like. You wait here for me to keep that one safe - you know. "

Qiu Zhang had already stood up, but she suddenly saw Ginny's lioness-like eyes and sat down again, "Sorry, Harry. It suddenly occurred to me that Cedric asked me to stay here. Pick them up—he's on the way with Mad-Eye."

"Perhaps Luna can take you to the Ravenclaw common room." Ginny said cheerfully at once.

"Oh, yes, I'd love to." Luna said happily, Qiu looked at Gwen and couldn't help snickering, which made Ginny a little embarrassed.

"Don't leave in such a hurry, Harry." Fred raised his arms high.

"We have some presents for you." George dragged out a large sack behind him. Then I took out several very ugly vests.

"The design is very unique," Luna said. "It can be a cross-section of a crooked snorer or something."

"I'll take it as a compliment." Fred bowed and gave Harry and Luna the vests. "Several layers of stinky anti-curse potions—"

"—but we didn't think it would be of much use," George said, "mostly by—"

"Voldemort's hide, most spells are absorbed. The only thing to watch out for-" Fred began to show others their work.

"Clamp your arms and don't expose your underarms to the enemy." George assumed a graceful, Snape-esque wizard duel stance.

The two put on their vests and walked towards Neville.

“How do we get out?” Harry asked Neville.

"Right here."

He led Harry and Luna to a corner, a small cupboard leading up to a steep staircase.

"It's going to a different place every day, so it's never been seen by them," he said. "The only trouble is you never know where you'll end up. Be careful, ha Leigh, they patrol the corridors at night."

"No problem," said Harry, "see you later."

He and Luna hurried up the stairs, which were long and lit by torches, often making unexpected turns. Finally, they seemed to come to a solid wall.

"Come in," Harry said to Luna, pulling out the Invisibility Cloak and draping it over the two of them. He pushed the wall lightly.

The wall immediately melted and they dodged outside. Harry glanced back and saw that the wall was sealed again. They stood in a dimly lit hallway, Harry pulled Luna back into the shadows, fumbled for a Marauder's Map from the leather pocket around his neck, and searched closely to his nose, finally finding him and Luna the two little dots.

"We're on the sixth floor," he whispered, watching Filch go further and further down a corridor. "Come on, this way."

They crept away.

Fred and George are handing out "Weasley Defense Against the Dark Arts Vests" to Ron and Hermione, rubbing their hands to see if their remaining merchandise is enough for the others.

"I'm going out," Gwen whispered, leaning over to George, "The mission of the Order of the Phoenix."

"Lie, they didn't even know Harry was at Hogwarts when we notified the Order of the Phoenix." George debunked Gwen without looking back.

"Look at me, George." Gwen turned his head over, then showed him the golden thread on his tongue, held it for a long time, and finally repeated what he just said, "Order of the Phoenix mission, do you understand?"

George looked at Gwen with great concern and nodded reluctantly. Then he reached out and patted her upper body: "Are you wearing a vest? We knew we should mass-produce invisibility cloaks..."

"Hey! Be careful, where are you touching?" Gwen knocked off his hand, "I'm wearing it, don't worry about me."

"Cough." Fred did the math and squinted at them both. "Even if this is a room of responsiveness, you can't be too arrogant."

"We are all very dignified wizards." Gwen lied again without blushing, and then took George's hand and shoved him next to Fred. "I handed over my fiancé to you, Fred, keep an eye on him."

Gwen walked away from the cupboard. Before going out, he saw Fred and George shaking each other's hands in disgust.

Her phantom body spell has been practiced well, at least she won't expose herself by making a big move.

"The only problem is that this is the sixth floor." Gwen was a little disappointed, she thought that the room of Requirement would lead to the principal's office just a short walk outside.

Now she can only lightly climb the stairs to the eighth floor. Neville and Ginny had said that the Carrows were always having trouble with Gryffindor students. So the eighth floor is where they often patrol.

If you ask Gwen what she is guilty of, the biggest one is that she forgot the portraits in the hallway.

She stumbled upon one of the sleeping, unfamiliar portraits—most likely a very aggressive pure-blood wizard who had been replaced by the Death Eaters, because his screams and Sirius' mother is no different.

Gwen wanted to run, but Amycus Carrow was nearby for some reason, even coming from the direction of Ravenclaw Towers.

"Who's here?" he yelled, asking the portrait, "Did you see that kid? Harry Potter?"

The portrait is still screaming and cursing.

Gwen didn't have time to think about how the Death Eaters knew Harry would be at school tonight - even Ravenclaw Tower? She could only hold her breath, trying to make her body thinner, sticking to the wall without pictures, moving little by little.

Until her toes touched something, she quickly covered her mouth to keep herself from exclaiming, it was a foot.

"It's me." The pale blond Malfoy walked past Gwen with a pale face and bumped her on the shoulder. He frowned, as if surprised.

"Little Malfoy." Amycus Carrow was a little angry at first, then showed a little joy, "You want to take our credit? Huh? Grab Potter , to win glory for your family?"

"No." Malfoy's face paled even more, and he didn't lift his eyelids, "I have something to call Headmaster Snape."

Amycus looked at the headmaster's office behind him, and sneered at him, "Hugging Snape's thigh? I'm afraid it's useless, little Draco, the Dark Lord is treating your family Disappointed."

"Then get out of the way." Malfoy stepped forward and stood in front of the wretched Death Eater, looking down at him.

Amycus also seemed to be concerned about the movement of Ravenclaw Tower, and hesitated for a moment to let him out. Seeing him go away, Gwen hurried away, half bent, and kept a few steps away from Malfoy.

He stopped in front of the stone beast at the entrance of the principal's office. Moving his lips, Gwen didn't hear the password.

The strange thing is that Draco Malfoy just stepped into the door, turned around and left, and snorted when passing Gwen, which made her goosebumps.

Gwen, who came back to his senses, quickly took advantage of the moment when the stone beast closed the door
