Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"I know, Professor!" Harry wiped away his tears and said disappointedly, "I believe in the principal!"

"We all believe in him. Dumbledore has never let you down." Professor McGonagall sighed and said slowly, "Too many things happened tonight, do you and Weasley need to go to the school hospital? ?”

"I'm fine, I'm not going to the hospital!" Harry shook his head, he didn't feel any discomfort except anger.

"Me too!" Ron whispered, like a wooden man, unresponsive to Harry's punch.

"Okay, then go back to sleep quickly!" Professor McGonagall turned to look at Ivan and Hermione, "Mason, Granger, you need to go to the school hospital for treatment, I promised Bobo to supervise your return .”

"Wait a minute, Professor!" Ivan said, "I'm going to Professor Dumbledore's office. He seems to have something to say to me. Can you lead me there?"

"I can talk about it tomorrow. What you need now is bed rest." Professor McGonagall frowned, and when she saw Ivan looking at her, she pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I will take you there, but You'd better hurry up, we can't delay too long."

Chapter 135 The Sorting Hat That Never Makes Mistakes

Professor McGonagall took Hermione back to the school hospital, and Ivan walked into Dumbledore's office alone.

Just like last year, the principal's office is very interesting. Phoenix Fox looked at him kindly. The table not far away was full of magical props of unknown use. Small puffs of smoke.

Before coming in, Ivan had heard chattering in the room.They were discussing what happened tonight enthusiastically. Ivan thought it was Dumbledore and Fudge, but when he came in, he found that there was no one in the office.

What I was talking about just now were the portraits of wizards and wizards on the surrounding walls. They were the previous headmasters of Hogwarts.

It's a pity that Ivan didn't see the portraits of the four creators, otherwise he could ask Gryffindor about his treasure key, the legendary magic item hidden in the Forbidden Forest tribe, What the hell is it.

The portraits were sleeping soundly, but Ivan saw some of them secretly open their eyes occasionally, take a look at himself, and then close them immediately, for fear of being discovered by him.

Ivan ignored them, he saw the tattered and crumpled sorting hat on the table.

He hesitated for a moment, he always had a question in his heart and wanted to ask the other party, and now was a rare and good opportunity.

Ivan walked over and picked up the hat, and put it on his head.

The big hat slowly slid down and down over his eyes, just as it had done when he first put it on.

"Long time no see, Evan Mason!" A sharp voice whispered, "You seem to have something on your mind?"

"Yes, there are some things I can't understand. About the sorting ceremony, I'm curious why Peter Pettigrew was..."

"It will be assigned to Gryffindor, isn't it?!" The hat said softly, "My duty is to assign the little wizards to the appropriate colleges according to the wishes of the four founders. For more than 1000 years, I have seen There have been too many little wizards, some of them are kind-hearted, some are ambitious, some are talented, and some... But you have to know, in the sorting ceremony, apart from these innate In addition to quality, everyone's choice is also a crucial factor."

"So Peter asked to enter Gryffindor himself?"

"That kid hopes to go to Gryffindor and find the courage he never had." The Sorting Hat said, "but in fact, he doesn't need to look for it at all. The courage has been buried deep in his heart. When he can Put your head down and look into your heart, and you'll find what he's been looking for."

"But he didn't do that. What he did later was far from Gryffindor."

"Don't doubt, I can't make mistakes. The magic of the four founders allows me to see through people's hearts. My duty is to sort the right people into the right college." The Sorting Hat said cleverly, "But There is no guarantee that the college will be suitable for him, and there is no guarantee that he will not make detours in the future."

"What about me?" Ivan asked hastily, "You didn't ask for my opinion at all. You know, I originally planned to enter Ravenclaw, but you assigned me to Gryffindor."

"Is this really the case? Is this really your true wish?" The Sorting Hat let out a burst of laughter, "Yes, just like Harry Potter, the positions of the two of you are not easy to get right, but I still I can't go wrong with that, Gryffindor can help you fulfill your dreams."

Ivan was taken aback, what is his dream, to learn more magic?Defeat Voldemort?Or, to be a great White Wizard like Dumbledore?

Ai Wen was confused, and he wanted to say a few more words to the other party, but when he heard someone walking in, he hurriedly took off his hat and put it back in place.

The door of the office opened, and Dumbledore walked in with a serious expression on his face.

"professor!"

"Sit down, Alvin!" Dumbledore pointed to the chair in front of the desk, "I need to talk to you, but I have to make a long story short, I don't have much time, and Connelly is still waiting for me in the hall, We're going to the Ministry of Magic overnight to deal with the werewolf riot and Remus' allegations."

Ivan sat down, and naturally recalled the steps of using Occlumency in his mind.

"First of all, I have to ask you, Ivan, is there anything you would like to tell me?" Dumbledore looked at Ivan carefully, the fingertips of ten slender fingers touched together, and he said gently, "Any matter!"

"I do have something I want to talk to you, professor!" Ivan nodded and said slowly, "But before that, please allow me to ask a question first, you just found out that Ron was controlled by someone Is it?"

"Obviously, in the office on the third floor just now, I believe I am not the only one who noticed Mr. Weasley's abnormality." Dumbledore said mildly, "What he did tonight is too obvious, like the darkness The candlelight in it is generally obvious!"

"So, you also know who controlled Ron?"

"Although many people think that I know everything, I am not omniscient like the outside rumors!" Dumbledore sat on the high-backed chair behind the table, using his light blue, penetrating I fixed my eyes on Ai Wen, "I have some ideas about this matter, but I still want to hear your opinion!"

"I suspect that Peter Pettigrew controlled Ron!" Ivan looked away, trying not to meet Dumbledore's gaze.

Although he was going to tell the other party something, he didn't reveal all the information in his mind.

"Peter Pettigrew, that's a surprising answer."

Having said that, Dumbledore didn't seem very surprised, as if everything was in his expectation.

"This afternoon, Hermione and I met Sirius Black in Hogsmeade. He told us that Pettigrew Peter betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort. He didn't die. He was an Animagus. He's now Ron's pet mouse, Scabbers."

"Animagus?! This is important information!" Dumbledore closed his eyes, meditating, "Ivan, your information has verified my conjecture. To be honest, I really didn't pay attention to Peter Pettigrew back then. It was my fault for putting too much attention on it and I could have prevented this kid from getting to where he is today."

Ivan waited for the other party to continue, but Dumbledore seemed to be lost in memory and had no intention of speaking.

Chapter 136 Dumbledore's Expectations

The room suddenly fell silent, and the portraits on the surrounding walls opened their eyes to confirm what happened.

Ivan and Dumbledore sat silently at both ends of the table, neither of them spoke.

Dumbledore closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking; Ivan seemed to be interested in the weird props on the table that were spraying smoke.

But actually, he was thinking about Peter Pettigrew.When Peter was at Hogwarts, he formed a small team with Harry's father James Potter, Sirius Black, and Professor Lupine, just like he is now with Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

The relationship between the four of them is very good, but because of Peter's betrayal, the fate of the other three is very tragic.

Dumbledore just said that it was mainly his fault, what did he mean by that?

Is it simply emotion, or is there another deep meaning hidden in it?

Ivan waited for a while, seeing that Dumbledore still had no intention of speaking, he had no choice but to try to say, "Although I don't understand the truth, professor! But I don't think you need to blame yourself for Peter Pettigrew. Everyone's path is chosen by themselves, and everyone walks on the path of their own choice, and bears the joy and sorrow brought by it. If you go astray, you can't blame others!"

"Having said that, as a forerunner, before you start walking, I should try my best to help you and guide you in the right direction. This is my duty!" Dumbledore opened his eyes and continued, "You know , Choosing the right direction is more important than hard work! The kid Peter Pettigrew originally hoped to find courage, but in the end he got lost on the path of pursuing strength."

Ivan froze for a moment, Dumbledore's words were similar to what Luna said to him last year.

"Ivan, when are you and Sirius Black going to do it?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"At eight o'clock tomorrow night, he will come to the Gryffindor common room. I have plans with him."

"Very well, you just need to do it according to your own ideas, and leave the rest to me!" Dumbledore did not continue to ask about the details of the plan.

"Wait a minute, professor!" Aiwen said hurriedly, "I don't understand, why don't we just go and catch Peter Pettigrew? He's in Ron's bedroom now, and Ron is still under his control. I think the speed The sooner the better!"

"This is indeed a good suggestion, but sometimes, simple and effective methods are not suitable for dealing with complex issues." Dumbledore looked at Ivan and said calmly, "Compared to Black and Peter, I am more It's Ron who's worried!"

"Worried about Ron?!" Ivan looked confused, he didn't understand what Dumbledore meant.

Since he was worried about Ron, why did he stop himself from telling the fact that Ron was under the Imperius Curse in Professor Lupine's office just now? !

Now they don't agree to go directly to capture Pettigrew Peter and rescue Ron? !

"I just said it, Ivan! I made a mistake in dealing with Peter Pettigrew. Some mistakes will never have a chance to be corrected, but they can leave us with a profound lesson, so that we can avoid making the same mistakes in the future! said Dumbledore, "I don't want Ron to repeat the tragedy of Peter Pettigrew."

"Professor, you mean..."

"The best way to fight against the Imperius Curse is not to solve the curse, but to have a strong will. If the willpower is strong enough, you can resist the invasion of this spell." Dumbledore looked at Ivan, "Ron is not Unlike you and Harry, who have enough willpower, I hope you can help him."

"Help Ron?" Ivan repeated, "What do you need me to do?"

"You just have to do what you think." Dumbledore looked into Ivan's eyes, "Except for Tom, you are the best little wizard I have ever met, and I trust you."

"Okay, I'll try my best!" Ivan sighed.

Looking at Dumbledore, he knew that he was being plotted by the other party again.No wonder Dumbledore suddenly mentioned Peter Pettigrew, and attributed Peter's betrayal to his fault. It turned out that he was waiting for him here, and he hoped to lead the topic to saving Ron.

Ivan sighed, and things seemed to be getting more and more troublesome. What he originally needed to do was to catch Peter Pettigrew and clear up the grievances of Sirius Black; now, on the basis of completing these two things, he also needs to help Luo En resists the Imperius Curse.

In his opinion, it would be too risky to do so. It directly complicates a simple problem and is prone to accidents.

Although Dumbledore said that the rest can be left to him, Ivan has an ominous premonition.

Peter Pettigrew is not an easy opponent, he has to be careful!However, he had no way to refuse Dumbledore's suggestion.

What Dumbledore said was very reasonable. It was impossible for him to watch Ron become like Peter Pettigrew, betray his best friend, seek refuge with Voldemort and become a notorious dark wizard, and finally died tragically in the Voldemort's hands.Maybe he didn't have much affection for Ron, but for the sake of Harry, Hermione, and the Weasley family, it was impossible for him to watch Ron continue to degenerate.

This is the second time Ron has been controlled. Who can guarantee that he will not be controlled by other dark wizards after that.

As an extremely evil black magic, the Imperius Curse will have an indelible effect on the soul of the person under the curse.The more times it is hit, it will not help Ron increase his resistance to the Imperius Curse.Instead, he had either become an idiot; or, under the influence of the Imperius Curse, an evil Dark wizard.

Judging from the plot I know so far, with the return of Voldemort, the situation in the next four years will become more and more severe.

Wait a minute, Ivan suddenly thought, why must he wait for Voldemort to return before trying to find a way to defeat him?

Judging from the known situation, this is undoubtedly the most dangerous path.

After more than two years of experience, I have already told Aiwen that it is not necessarily safe to follow the plot of the original book.

He does know the development of the main plot, but not absolutely!Everything they say and do will have a good or bad impact on the world and other characters around them, and they will also take corresponding countermeasures.

Peter Pettigrew is the best example. In the original plot, he never controlled Ron.

Compared with Voldemort, Peter Pettigrew is nothing.

Perhaps, after solving this year's incident, I should face the future with a more positive attitude.

Anyway, it is destined to change the future anyway, and it is necessary to catch Peter Pettigrew to clear up Blake's grievances.

Why don't I do it more thoroughly and try to prevent Voldemort from returning? !

Chapter 137 A Roaring Letter to the Principal

Because of Professor Lupin's affairs, the atmosphere in the castle was heavy.

Ai Wen didn't know how many people suffered from insomnia tonight, but he didn't sleep very well anyway.

The same seemed to be true of Hermione, who lay beside her in the hospital bed, tossing and turning all night, worrying about Lupine and Ron all the time.

In the second half of the night, Ivan was awakened by a nightmare again.

He simply sat up halfway from the bed, and stared blankly at the snowflakes flying outside the window by the dim candlelight in the corridor.

Aiwen thought about the conversation he had with Dumbledore just now. He didn't know whether the Occlumency technique he had practiced so hard had come in handy, but it was an indisputable fact that the topic had always been dominated by Dumbledore.

Similarly, he didn't know what the principal had planned.

Ivan didn't believe anything. The reason why Dumbledore didn't directly grab Peter Pettigrew was simply to let himself and Harry help Ron resist the Imperius Curse. The risk of doing so was too great.

As an out-and-out strategist, Dumbledore must have other ideas that he didn't tell himself.

Ivan sighed, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.But one thing is certain, because of his relationship with Harry and his outstanding performance in the past two years, he has been included in Dumbledore's plan to defeat Voldemort.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Dumbledore has his layout, and Ivan also has his own plan.

He was not a flag to be thrown around by Dumbledore, who ended up being a victim in his confrontation with Voldemort like everyone else.

Aiwen is going to do it according to his own ideas. He wants to change his own destiny and everyone's destiny.

In any case, he will not let Sirius Black, Fred, Colin and others sacrifice, and it is impossible to watch Hermione marry Ron. These things need to be changed. He is going to start with Sirius Black and Pettigrew. Peter started.

After this year's events are over, to prevent Voldemort's return, and to strengthen his own strength...

Thinking of this, Ivan's eyelids became heavier and heavier.

The battle with Greyback had left him terribly exhausted, and his strength was so overwhelmed that within seconds of making up his mind, he fell back into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Aiwen was awakened by loud vibrations in the castle.

"What happened?" He hurriedly got up from the bed, wand in his hand.

"I don't know!" Hermione shook her head, she also just woke up.

"You two better not move around, lie back!" Madam Pomfrey walked in from the outside, looking worried, "I knew these noises would wake you up, it's really terrible, now the chaos below into a ball."

"why?"

"It's not because of Lupine, poor man!" Madam Pomfrey handed the latest issue of "Daily Prophet" to Ivan, and said worriedly, "Look, almost everyone knows now, Lupine Professor Ping is a werewolf."

Ivan hurriedly looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and Hermione also came over.All the sections of the newspaper were reporting the news of the werewolf riot last night, what happened, the number of casualties, in-depth analysis, etc., as well as articles accusing the Ministry of Magic and Fudge.

The worries and anger that people had accumulated since Sirius Black escaped from prison exploded in an instant.

The main bearers of the anger were Cornelius Fudge and the Ministry of Magic, who were severely accused of inaction.

Dumbledore was also criticized like Fudge. Although the wording in the "Daily Prophet" was more subtle, many people, especially the parents of the students, felt that Dumbledore had hired a werewolf to teach at Hogwarts. Deeply shocked, the pure-blood family headed by Malfoy even collectively asked Dumbledore to resign.
