Hogwarts card wizard

After learning from Kevin that Bokin Bok may know the whereabouts of the Gold Cup, Sirius sneaked into Knockturn Alley that night.

If it was in the past, let alone Sirius in wolf dog form, even if he appeared in Knockturn Alley openly, he wouldn't have to worry about other people's attention.

Because any normal person will hide himself after entering Knockturn Alley, and he will not care about others.This is a dark place, and no one wants to go to Knockturn Alley unless necessary.

But it is different now. Gringotts in Diagon Alley is Voldemort's key "protection" object, and Knockturn Alley adjacent to Diagon Alley has also become one of the restricted areas.

What's more, Bojinbok is also inextricably linked with Voldemort. He worked here after graduation, and it was also in his shop that Malfoy and others sneaked into Hogwarts.

Even though these may not have been voluntary acts of Borginbock, Sirius had to be careful whenever he got involved with Voldemort.

As the Horcruxes were destroyed one by one, their steps to defeat Voldemort were striding forward, which also meant that they had no chance to make mistakes.

So Sirius must be careful and careful.

Fortunately, he was a stray dog, and stray dogs were common in Knockturn Alley, so no one would notice Sirius' presence.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Sirius didn't choose to stay near the Bokin Bok store all the time, he would stay for a while every time, and he wouldn't come every day.

So it took him a long time to figure out Bojinbok's situation.

Because Voldemort came to power, the trading of contraband in the wizarding world became more and more popular, and Bojinbok's business boomed accordingly.Every once in a while he will go to "buy goods", but this time is not sure.

Bojinbok is very vigilant, and the trading of contraband in the wizarding world is no longer illegal.Of course, there are still "forbidden items" in the wizarding world under Voldemort's rule.

However, Bojinbok is cautious every time he goes out.This guy's anti-reconnaissance ability is very powerful, even Sirius can't track him in a short time.

And to be able to open a store in Knockturn Alley and last for so many years, Bojinbok must have a few brushes.

However, the "guard dog" Sirius was very sensitive. After observing for a period of time, Sirius finally got his chance tonight.

Borginbock was caught straight.

Sirius returned to his human body, but still changed his appearance.

Borgin Bock was a villain, but not quite a villain, so Sirius had no intention of taking his life.But since he is a villain, he must use the means to deal with the villain.

The Imperius Curse, Veritaserum, whatever method Sirius could think of to use.

After many interrogations, Bojinbok gave the same answer.

During his time at Borginbork, Voldemort became close to a wealthy witch named Hepzibah Smith.

According to Bojinbok, Hepziba is very rich and keen on collecting, he is an avid collector.She is particularly proud of her collection of relics from the founders of Hogwarts, and she claims to be a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff, one of the four founders.

It was through Hepzibah's hobbies that young Voldemort became acquainted with her.

But no one believed that she was a descendant of Hufflepuff, but Voldemort was willing to say what she said, which made Hepziba very happy, and the relationship with Voldemort became closer, until one day Hepziba showed Voldemort Her ancestral gold cup.

That is, the Hufflepuff's gold cup that Kevin and the others have been looking for.

Boginbock said Hepzibah had always claimed to have the Hufflepuff Cup but never brought it out.

After hearing this sentence, Sirius guessed that when Voldemort approached Hepzibah, he should have aimed at Hufflepuff's golden cup.

When he asked about the whereabouts of Hepziba, Bojinbok told him that Hepziba was dead!

Killed by one of her house-elfs named Hotch.

Hearing this little Sirius, he understood that this house elf should be a scapegoat.One of the prerequisites for making a Horcrux is to sacrifice life, so Hepziba should have been killed by Voldemort.

After asking about the situation, Sirius modified Borginbock's memory.

In fact, in terms of the difficulty of curing, erasing memory is more difficult to be cured, while modifying memory is relatively easy to treat, and St. Mungo's therapist can cure it.

It's just that once Sirius erased Bojinbok's memory, he would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion in the future.It is impossible not to be surprised by Bojinbok's character to disappear a piece of memory out of thin air, and it is not difficult to retrieve the erased memory by his means.

And modifying the memory, although it is easier to cure, but at least having a false memory will not arouse suspicion.After all, who would stare at a trifle without forgetting it?

……

Kevin suddenly realized, and said: "So, this Hepzibah Smith is really a descendant of Hufflepuff."

Sirius said: "Maybe, maybe not, but it's a fact that she has the gold cup."

Kevin nodded, and said helplessly: "It's really amazing to be able to collect this information. It's a pity that it's useless!"

It seems that it is not meaningful for Kevin to say this, but this is the truth, and Sirius also agrees with Kevin's words very much.

"Indeed! According to Boginbock's description, this house-elf should have had its memory modified. Even if its memory hadn't been modified, the mysterious man would definitely not keep it where it was after he got the gold cup," said Sirius.

Snape asked, "So what did you find out?"

Sirius asked back: "So what can you tell us? Professor Snape, no no! It's time to teach you, Headmaster Snape."

This time Snape ignored Sirius' sarcasm, but said to Kevin: "You seem to have fallen into some kind of misunderstanding, always thinking that he will put the Horcrux in a place that is meaningful to him."

Kevin asked puzzled, "Isn't it?"

Sirius said: "Except for the diary sent by that bastard Malfoy and the big snake, the place where the rest of the Horcruxes are stored is indeed of great significance to the mysterious man."

Slytherin's locket is in the cave he visited as a child.

Marvolo's ring is in Gaunt's old house, the home of Voldemort's mother.

Ravenclaw's diadem is in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, where he grew up.

According to these considerations, one will indeed come to a conclusion that Voldemort will put the Horcrux in a place of significance, which is also in line with his collectivist character.

Snape said, "Maybe that's what he makes you think."

Kevin asked: "Professor, do you mean that the place where the gold cup is stored was chosen randomly by the mysterious person?"

Sirius also asked: "Even if what you said is correct, we still don't know the exact location where the gold cup is hidden."

Snape asked rhetorically, "Where did the Dark Lord put the Gryffindor sword, I mean the fake sword?"

This sentence seemed to be wrong, but Kevin and Sirius were smart people, and they understood Snape's meaning immediately.

The two looked excited and said at the same time: "Gringotts!!"
