I, Hogwarts Week Two

Chapter 569: Cave Divine Tower

Dumbledore's collection of poetry has no title.

There are a few simple words written on the title page.

——Have a romantic view of the stars.

——With love for Stardust.

——If you can do this, you can reach the other side of the star.

——All living beings, learn to love.

"like?"

"Love?" Hermione glanced over and saw the poem on the title page.

"What does it mean?"

"I don't know." Owen shook his head.

"Maybe it's some kind of word game, and the arrangement and combination of characters will be the way to unlock the secret." Hermione said, and put the sword of Gryffindor at her feet. Then she drew out her wand and waved it gently. The dust in the air condensed into poems. Then she began to try to rearrange the letters, trying to find the real answer.

"Well, I have to say that Albus just likes these roundabout things." Professor Sprout raised the corner of his mouth and complained. It was as if the old man was still alive.

Then, her face darkened, her happiness quickly faded away, and sadness emerged.

“You still have time to think about the answer he left for you.

Children, you are already very powerful on the path of magic. "The professor looked at them gently. "We, the school, can no longer teach you much knowledge."

"You've all grown up—"

"From now on, we will no longer restrict your stay or departure." The professor reached out and rubbed the top of each of their heads. Especially Owen's - her eyes were full of pity. "I hope that after everything is over, we will still be a family."

"Yes, professor." Owen said seriously. "Yes."

"Hmm-hmm." The sudden sadness made a tear fall from the corner of Professor Sprout's eye. She wiped it quickly and took a deep breath. "It's okay. Everything is okay." She said, forcing a smile on her face. "Go and do your own things."

----

The four of them left the barn and faced the October autumn breeze.

Owen knew the meaning behind Dumbledore's will and the relics left to Harry and Ron.

But Hermione and his, that was totally incomprehensible.

As soon as she returned to the castle, Hermione immediately began to try to solve the book "Hogwarts: A History" in her hand.

Owen also took a few hours to study Dumbledore's collection of poems.

Two days later, the results were naturally not ideal.

Neither he nor Hermione gained anything.

After Owen memorized all of Dumbledore's poems, he gave the collection to Hermione. He didn't have time to study them anymore, so he could only ask Hermione for help.

Early morning - in front of the chapel, in an open space.

Koyatel and Ron were saying goodbye to the others.

The two of them are leaving the UK and heading for New Zealand.

From the goblin memory of the Goblin Brotherhood, Owen saw that Coyate's mother's family had left the United States and went to New Zealand.

Perhaps it was to avoid the fact that the Stewart family, which once founded Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, could no longer survive in the United States.

The goblins once sent people to New Zealand to look for the descendants of the Stewart family, but to no avail.

Before leaving, Mrs. Weasley was earnestly admonishing him to be careful. If it weren't for the fact that New Zealand was still safe, she would never allow her two children to go there.

After Koyatel left, her job as Prime Minister's advisor fell on Hannah.

The most suitable person present was actually Hermione, but she had more important things to do.

Hannah, who was born in Hufflepuff, was the second most suitable candidate. She might not understand many things, including politics and Muggle common sense, but her kind character made Ms. Dorothy Wainwright, the Prime Minister's chief adviser, very satisfied and liked her.

As one of the few politicians in Downing Street who still has a conscience, she is willing to help Hannah make progress.

Parting is sad, along with late autumn.

Koyatel and Ron left.

The castle is functioning normally.

Two days later, Harry and Ginny also sneaked away one afternoon.

He took the invisibility cloak with him, and Hermione prepared a lot of things for Ginny. She told Ginny all the precautions she could think of. It was like a mother giving her child instructions before leaving.

Because they were worried that Mrs. Weasley and other members of the Order of the Phoenix would disagree, the two left quietly.

Hermione even argued with Owen about this.

She also felt that Harry should stay here and not hang out.

But Owen refused. He knew very well that Harry had to face death - going to Godric's Hollow would help him understand many things.

He couldn't stop it. And he couldn't tell Hermione about this. He couldn't let any accidents happen.

Hermione was very unhappy about this, but the girl was very understanding and knew that there must be some deep-seated reasons for this, so she did not lose her temper with him.

A few more days passed.

Justin, Luna, Neville, and Colin also left.

They secretly sneaked into Hogsmeade village, preparing to implement Hermione's plan and establish contact with Hogwarts.

About Hogwarts - the new education reform introduced by the Ministry of Magic has long been known to everyone.

Severus Snape serves as Headmaster of Hogwarts.

Death Eaters Mulciber and Walton MacNeill filled the Defence Against the Dark Arts and Herbology classes.

There are also several Death Eaters who have joined the school and become professors.

Some of the names are still on the Federation's wanted list.

In addition, Voldemort also stipulated that children aged seven to eighteen must go to Hogwarts to study, which was a policy that Owen had already guessed.

Today's Hogwarts needs someone to give hope to the remaining teachers and students, otherwise some weak-willed young wizards may very likely end up becoming Death Eaters.

The news from the outside world that they are still resisting is the last straw for most people.

As the commander-in-chief of the anti-Voldemort alliance, Theseus Scamander naturally understood this truth, so to a certain extent, he acquiesced to Hermione's plan, even if the young wizards who went to Hogwarts would lose their lives for it.

But - this is war!

war!

This word, written with cruelty and death, has not changed at all from ancient times to the present.

Those who praise it are either crazy or ambitious.

If it could be avoided, Theseus Scamander would rather sacrifice his life than let these young children go to the battlefield, but the world is difficult, and it is helpless and difficult to choose.

A few more days passed.

Many people left the castle again.

There are wizards and there are muggles.

I heard that Voldemort appeared in Germany and burned, killed and looted a Muggle town.

The Federation's special operations team and German Aurors fought fiercely with them.

As a result, the Anti-Voldemort Alliance lost dozens of members.

Voldemort's power has grown again.

The power of that kind of aura far exceeds anything a wizard can possess.

Bill and Lupin also participated in the battle. Both of them escaped with serious injuries and only had one breath left.

That day - Mrs. Weasley and Tonks cried all night.

The alliance held several more meetings.

The parties argued for a long time but did not come to any conclusion.

Even the British Prime Minister, Mr. Harker, who had always been afraid of death, moved out of the castle and began to appear in various cities in Britain with the help of wizards.

People need encouragement, especially in this era of collapse.

The situation Mr. Hake faces today is even more difficult than during World War II.

Although Germany was powerful that year, it was not without rivals.

But now, the road ahead is dark and there is no hope at all.

It’s the end of October, right before Halloween.

After helping Hermione build a passage connecting Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, Owen said goodbye to her and went to the cave alone.

This is his own adventure.

Only Shilok and Bakar kept him company.

After leaving the thick rubber tube and Apparating to the ground, the familiar cold sea breeze and the fresh, salty air hit me in the face.

Owen could smell the ocean and hear the sound of the waves crashing.

He rubbed the fur on Shilok's neck.

The next second, the kitten took him directly to the central island of the large lake inside the cave.

The anti-Apparition spell that Voldemort cast inside and outside the cave had no effect on Hellakh, and it was easy to break through it.

On the small island, the lava and the only remaining man-made structure - the stone basin - have not changed at all, just like they did a few years ago.

It seemed that Voldemort did not notice that his Horcrux had been taken away.

That's right - Voldemort is now a monster. How much of his soul is still his own?

Without hesitation, Owen waved his wand, and the ancient magic power connected to the bottom of the lake.

Soon, two tall stone pillars emerged from the bottom of the water. The obsidian pillars began to quickly interweave and connect. Then a large door was woven out.

Owen walked through the Veiled Gate.

We came to a magnificent corridor.

Walk through the corridor, up the stairs and into the hall.

The ancient puppet next to the door to the third floor did not resurrect - the door was also open.

Perhaps it was because he had passed the test once, so he would not take the test again.

The Sphinx on the third floor was fast asleep, not paying any attention to Owen.

The door behind it was also open.

He listened to the snoring and walked in.

In that bud-like hall, Owen stepped on the sapphire floor, facing the stars, and stood in front of the familiar huge mirror.

"I was just wondering when you would come." The old wizard slowly appeared in the mirror.

Principal Dexter smiled and lowered his eyebrows, staring at Owen: "It's not too early, and it's not too late."

"Good day, Principal Dexter," Owen said.

"Good day, child," said Principal Dexter. "I wish you could have a good time, but the weather is getting colder."

"I want to accept the challenge of this divine tower." Owen said.

"Oh - of course. That's what you're here for," said Principal Dexter.

"Us? Have many people been here before me?"

"Of course." Headmaster Dexter nodded. "Many people came here before you—the great wizard Merlin, Shani Maeve Weasley, Galahad Weasley, Bridget Morgan Weasley, Gabriel Wendy Rosier, Chronos Stewart, Regulus Black—I am not the heir of ancient magic—and I don't know the truth about the world."

"But I can be sure that the wizard who asked me to stay here told me the absolute truth."

"the truth?"

"Yes -" Principal Dexter's face showed reminiscence, "Remember the first time you came here. I told you that this is a connection station, and what you need to do is to defeat the evil tentacles from outside the domain. The outer gods cannot enter this universe, but Zhi's minions can. They provide souls to Zhi day after day. Every once in a while, Zhi's power is strong enough to invade the God-granted Tower."

"Now I can tell you that this is indeed a connection station."

"Connection station?" Owen frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly understood: "You mean - someone hid the real God-granted Tower, and then built a connection station outside, which is here. If you want to enter the real God-granted Tower, you must pass through here?"

"Yes--" Principal Dexter responded with a smile.

"This" Owen was a little confused, because other divine towers did not have such protective measures. Why was this one so strict?

What's different about it?

What will I face?

"You just said that Gabriel Wendy Rosier, Chronos Stewart, and Regulus Black have all been here." He changed the subject and said, "As far as I know, they are not the heirs of ancient magic, so they can also go to the Tower of Divine Granting?"

"It's not the heir that matters, but the ancient magic power that is in their possession," said Principal Dexter. "Not all heroes who have stopped the spread of the power of the Outer Gods are heirs."

"On the road to saving the world, there are a group of people who are going forward one after another."

"This includes the four founders of Hogwarts."

"Founder?" Owen asked in surprise.

"The connection station has stood for thousands of years. Even the hardest stone will weather, let alone a connection station. More than a thousand years ago, the four founders discovered this place and reinforced it. They also fought against the darkness behind it. Before she died, Ms. Hufflepuff asked me to store the portrait here. I hope I can guide those who come after me to continue fighting against the darkness."

"Then the great wizard Merlin came here. The tests you see now are all left by him."

"Merlin." Owen repeated it several times and asked, "Is Galahad Weasley the heir? I have no impression of this name."

"Yes, he is the heir." Headmaster Dexter said with regret, "He came here and told me an ominous news. The previous heir, Shani, was killed by a goblin. She died too early. The new heir has not grown up yet - he is a sixteen-year-old boy from Gryffindor. He passed the test and went to the Tower of Divine Grant."

“I never saw him again.”

"Later, Brigid went to the Tower of Assignment twice. I asked her about Galahad, but she knew nothing about it. After entering the Tower of Assignment for the second time, Brigid never came back."

"Dean Bridget." Owen's face was heavy. None of the portraits of Dean Bridget in Hogwarts showed any memory of her after she left Hogwarts for the last time.
