Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 62R. A. B

After talking to Dumbledore, Anriel returned to his room.

He plans to study this stone carefully.

Anriel belonged to Ravenclaw, not Gryffindor.

Faced with this situation - that is, when he knew that inputting a large amount of magic power could "activate" the Resurrection Stone, Anriel's choice was not to do that first.

He should continue to try other methods and save the method that has been confirmed to "activate" the Resurrection Stone for last.

It doesn't matter if you don't try it. This attempt actually allowed him to figure out some ways to use it.

Although it is not used to activate the Resurrection Stone, it happens to be able to use the "original" function of the Resurrection Stone.

"resurrection".

But Anriel didn't have anyone who needed to be resurrected.

This is the direction of his research.

"How to resurrect someone who has nothing to do with you"

After some not-so-careful experiments, Anriel came to a conclusion.

That requires two conditions:

1. The person you want to resurrect cannot continue to exist in the world as a ghost;

Second, you need some medium to keep the "resurrected" person in the world.

......

Anriel went to the Room of Requirement.

"I need a place to hide my stuff."

Anriel walked back and forth in the corridor on the eighth floor, muttering to himself.

Then he looked up and saw a large oak door in front of him.

He pushed the door open and walked in. The place was messy and full of everything.

The size of the room is absolutely unbelievable, this is a room in the tower.

Now, another vexing problem arises:

How could Anriel find a rusty crown among tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of contraband items from the past years?

"Crowns Flying"?

It sounds like a good idea, but there are countless things in this room that could be called "crowns".

How about adding a qualifier?

It doesn't cost any money to try it.

Anriel raised his wand:

"Here comes the Ravenclaw Diadem!"

He still underestimated the strength of his magic.

There was a whoosh sound of breaking wind, Anriel's eyes widened and he fell to the side.

A rusty, headband-like ornament flew straight towards Anriel like a bullet.

"Haha... maybe I was trying too hard..."

Anriel talked to himself, defending himself.

Is there anything more embarrassing than being killed by something you summoned with the Flying Spell?

The difficult problem was solved, but the process was speechless.

Anriel grabbed the crown with his bare hands without any danger.

He had known this would happen—

Because in the original book, when Harry Potter entered the Room of Requirement to hide books, he grabbed the crown with his bare hands.

This Horcrux doesn't seem to have any curse that would bring bad luck to anyone who touched it.

Come to think of it, if every Horcrux was the kind that could not be touched at all, everyone around Harry Potter would have died long ago.

That would require a series of magical enhancements to the Horcrux later on.

I always feel that my thoughts are getting closer and closer to dark wizards...

Anriel shook his head to drive this strange thought out of his mind.

The next thing to do is to chant Avada Kedavra for this crown.

Later, this crown would help Anriel confirm two of his conjectures—no, three.

First of all, this crown is the relic of Rowena Ravenclaw, which can help Anriel determine whether Ravenclaw is dead or not;

Secondly, if Ravenclaw is completely dead, then through the Resurrection Stone and this tiara, it should be possible to summon a phantom of her past;

Finally, the tiara is closely associated with Helena Ravenclaw, who still exists in the world as a ghost.

This experiment is a bit like hell, and it also feels like betraying one's teacher and ancestors, but it is not a problem for Anriel.

Perhaps this is also one of the uses of the Resurrection Stone?

Explore secrets that no one living knows and make the dead speak?

But the Room of Requirement is a really nice place.

Anriel could almost conclude that—

Just like the owner of the Chamber of Secrets is Salazar Slytherin, there is more than a 90% chance that the owner of the Room of Requirement is Rowena Ravenclaw.

......

No research result falls from the sky.

By the time Anriel wiped the sweat off his face, put the resurrection stone back on his hand and prepared to go downstairs to eat, it was already dark.

Anyway, besides him and Dumbledore, the only other people in the school were the house-elves, and they would be more than happy to give themselves a snack.

So it doesn’t matter whether you eat on time or not.

After dinner, Anriel came to Dumbledore's office with Rowena Ravenclaw's old rusty crown.

As expected, Dumbledore was sitting behind the desk.

In his unprotected hands he fiddled with the opened golden locket.

Anriel asked knowingly:

"Oh? Sir, you destroyed the Horcrux so quickly?"

Dumbledore did not answer, but looked up at Anriel. After a moment, he leaned back in the chair with his head tilted back, showing a helpless expression and said:

“I’m so sorry, my child.

What we're looking for... may have been replaced."

Dumbledore pointed his slender finger at the corner of the table.

There was a neatly folded piece of paper.

......

"To the Dark Lord:

I will be dead before you read this, but I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real Horcrux and planned to destroy it as quickly as possible.

I am willing to risk my life in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent.

——RAB”

......

"Do you have any idea?"
