Hogwarts Ordnance Manual

Chapter 63 Don’t give a chance to cheat

Dumbledore's face straightened, and he took out two volumes, one large and one small, from the drawer of his desk. The thick one should be an ancient book. He turned to one of the pages, and then opened the thin one, which should be his notes. .

"There is no record in any book about how to destroy a Horcrux..." Dumbledore's voice was a little low, and it was obvious that he had spent a lot of energy consulting ancient books for this purpose.The implication is that I still have some doubts about Dudley's words.

"I dreamed of two things that can destroy Horcruxes, and the first one is this!" Dudley said as he placed the basilisk fang wrapped in thick parchment on the table. He continued: "This one Venomous Fang destroyed Tom Riddle's diary and should be able to destroy other Horcruxes as well!"

Dumbledore was startled. He changed his usual sleepy look and stood up holding on to the edge of the table. He carefully took the fang and observed it carefully.

"This poison fang... you actually brought it out of the secret room... there is still some venom left on it..." Dumbledore said, he paused and then said: "If your inference is correct, this is indeed a precious item. ...The venom on it should be enough to destroy a Horcrux!"

Dudley was stunned, and instantly he realized a problem, that is, is the tooth in the Diary of Ecstasy a poisonous snake's tooth, or is it venom? If it is a tooth, then this fang can even directly penetrate into the body of the giant snake Nagini. This would destroy all the other Horcruxes (except the one on Harry), but if it was Venom, the fang could only destroy one Horcrux at most.

"Wtf!" Dudley couldn't help but cursed. If he had known better, he would have knocked out the other fang of the basilisk!But it was too late to regret now. According to Harry, the secret room could no longer be opened, and the dead basilisk's body turned into stone and soon decayed.

"You just said there are two things that can destroy Horcruxes?" Dumbledore asked.

"There is also the sword of Gryffindor! Can you show it to me?" Dudley suddenly became energetic. This is why he took the risk of changing the plot today and came to see Dumbledore - to bring Gryffindor to Dumbledore. The Sword of Findor was obtained by deception.

Dumbledore blinked and did not immediately agree to Dudley's request.

"Damn it! Stop pretending, the sword is right here with you." Dudley curled his lips and said: "That is the only artifact left by the pioneers that Tom Riddle has not come into contact with. It is the secret weapon used by goblins. It is made of silver and has the property of destroying evil spirits. I think even if he wanted to use it, he would not be able to infuse black magic and soul fragments into it."

Dumbledore was somewhat reluctant and took out a one-meter-long glass box from a large cabinet on the side. When he opened it, he saw the shiny silver Gryffindor sword with a ruby-studded sword inside.

"It's really beautiful. Can I take it out and have a look?" Dudley asked.

"Legend has it that there is only a true Gryffindor..." Before Dumbledore could finish his words, Dudley had already grabbed the hilt, picked up the sword, and danced it into the air a few times.

"Is this Mithril? It's so light!" Dudley exclaimed. He could see that this sword was extremely sharp and extremely rigid and tough, but it weighed only one-third of an iron sword and was heavier than aluminum alloy. Be light.

"You seem to be very good at... cold weapons, such as Quidditch sticks..." Dumbledore tried to ease his embarrassment.

Dudley laughed and looked at the mission prompt, but it didn't show that he had obtained the Sword of Gryffindor. It seemed that this mission was not that simple.

Dudley thought of another secret treasure in the wizarding world - the elder wand. This wand has the function of "recognizing its owner", and the Sword of Gryffindor may also be in the state of "owning" it now.

"Who is the owner of this sword?" Dudley asked calmly: "I dreamed about some goblins and wanted to take it back, saying it was a treasure of the goblins."

Dumbledore motioned to Dudley to put the sword back and stop playing with it like a toy. Dudley reluctantly put the sword back into the glass box.

"The owner of the sword is Godric Gryffindor. He bought the sword from the goblin more than 1000 years ago." Dumbledore explained.

Dudley nodded and said: "Gryffindor's sword can absorb things that strengthen it. During the battle with the basilisk, it once absorbed the venom of the basilisk. I think this is why it can destroy Horcruxes. Of course, I I’m not talking about this fake one, but the real one you hid there, ha…”

Dudley smiled and pointed at the portrait of Dumbledore on the wall nearby. Old Deng was secretly frightened, but he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There are some things that I hope you can keep secret... This sword is too important, I can't No...but they are actually made of the same material and have many of the same characteristics."

Dudley nodded, said goodbye to Dumbledore, and emphasized that he would tell Lao Deng as soon as possible if he had any predictions next time, which Lao Deng greatly praised.

Dudley knew that there would be no results today. If the owner of the sword was Godric Gryffindor, then even if Old Deng gave the sword directly to him, he would probably not be able to complete the task, but Old Godric was already dead. He has lived for thousands of years, and has never heard of any descendants from him, so how can he be recognized by the sword?Dudley was lost in thought.

Of course, he had another option. After leaving Dumbledore's office, he walked directly up the stairs to the eighth floor.

In the novel, Ravenclaw's golden crown is hidden in the Room of Requirement. It is a house that disappears hidden in the castle. It was later used by the three Harrys as a base for training "Dumbledore's Army", but in fact they knew Many people exist in it, including Voldemort who hides the golden crown.

The Room of Requirement has an entrance and an exit. The entrance is on the wall opposite a portrait of a troll on the eighth floor of the castle. As long as the person who "really needs it" walks back and forth on that wall three times, a smooth door will appear. , and the exit of the room is in the Hog's Head Bar in Hogsmeade.

Dudley sneakily avoided other classmates and Filch's cat, and successfully came to the portrait of the troll. He was full of confidence and kept chanting "Ravenclaw's golden crown... Ravenclaw's golden crown..." ..." Then he paced back and forth in front of the wall opposite the portrait.

Once...twice...three times...ten times...eleven times...

The walls were as mottled as before, let alone the door, not even a crack appeared.

"It's bad, it's not a bad day..." Dudley shouted secretly, not knowing whether he remembered it wrong or whether he didn't get it right.

"What does it mean to really have a need?" Dudley felt that maybe he didn't understand this sentence well, but he repeatedly imagined different scenarios, such as what he most wanted was an arsenal full of firearms, such as Quidditch boutiques shop, and even thought about the wedding scene with his two dream lovers, Nina and Miss Yan... However, the Room of Requirement could not hear his voice at all, and had no intention of paying attention to him at all.

He remembered that Dumbledore had mentioned during the Christmas banquet when bragging and spanking with Durmstrang's headmaster Karkaroff that once he was looking for the toilet after drinking too much and took a wrong turn and walked into a street full of people. The Room of Requirement for the Deluxe Potty.

"What a sin. Do you think labor and management have to hold back their urine before coming back?" Dudley had walked back and forth in front of this wall for almost thirty times before finally giving up.

"No wonder it's an adventurous mission. This damn thing doesn't give labor and management a chance to cheat..." Dudley thought feebly and walked downstairs with heavy steps.

"Hi, Dudley!" A hand suddenly rested on his shoulder. Dudley came back to his senses and saw that it was Harry and the naughty Weasley twins.

"We saw you wandering back and forth here, you must be doing something fun! Right?" George made a square gesture with his hand, suggesting that he saw Dudley's actions on the Marauder's Map.

"Don't think about ditching me this time!" Harry grabbed Dudley's clothes. He was still worried about Dudley sneaking away to find Newt a few days ago, but they still helped Dudley. Covered.

"Tell me, maybe we can help?" Fred continued, pointing to his head, indicating that your brother and I have a very flexible mind.

Dudley rolled his eyes and said: "You have to be lucky that you are not a Slytherin player, otherwise you might be like Nick, only thinking about how to join the Headless Horseman team." What he meant was the game a few days ago. , Fred repeatedly blocked his bat with his head.

However, he glanced at Harry, suddenly became energetic, and suddenly realized in his heart: "Zhecha, I understand, it's not that I have a wrong idea, but only those with the halo of the protagonist are useful!"
