It's a solid fact, go from there.There can only be one explanation for Voldemort's stationing of Alecto Carrow in the Ravenclaw common room: Voldemort feared that Harry already knew his Horcrux was connected to that house.

However, the only thing that can be associated with Ravenclaw seems to be the missing diadem... How could the Horcrux be the diadem?Voldemort is a student of Slytherin, how could he find a crown that Ravenclaw has not seen for many generations?Who would tell him where to find it?No one living could remember seeing that diadem.

In the memory of the living...

Harry's eyes, which were covered with his hands, popped open.He sprang from his pedestal and ran back the way he had come, chasing his last hope.Back up the marble staircase, the sound of hundreds of people marching toward the Room of Requirement grew louder.The prefects shouted instructions, trying to distinguish the students of their houses.Harry saw Zacharias Smith knocking first-years around in an attempt to get to the front of the line.Everywhere you see younger students crying, older students anxiously calling for friends or siblings...

Harry saw a milky figure drifting past in the hall above, and he shouted at the top of the din.

"Nick! Nick! I have something to tell you!"

The tall Weasley twins were at the entrance to the largest secret passage in Hogwarts.

"Are you ready, Fred?" George looked at the dense sparks on the silver protective cover - it was the handwriting of hundreds of Death Eaters who were madly attacking outside the school.

"Okay." Fred also looked towards the sky.

The two looked at each other and smiled, George bumped Fred with his elbow, "Me too."

"Excuse me." Gwen, who was standing next to George, cleared her throat, "Am I in the way?"

"Unless you help us bury the decoy bomb in the ground." Fred blinked.

"Let the Death Eaters step on it and be blown up to the sky." George raised his hand and gestured for the picture they imagined.

"Genius idea." Gwen Howe was not stingy with his praise, as if he had seen their charming appearance when they were making trouble at Hogwarts, "Guess what, we can also prepare some appetizers for them in front of the minefield .”

Gwen reached out and pulled out a few sticky, smelly lumps of mud.

"Portable swamp!" Fred exclaimed in surprise.

"Clever girl," said George, "what could annoy a Death Eater more than a Weasley's swamp at the mouth of the passage?"

"Before they get in," Gwen swallowed, looking nervously at the increasingly fragile shield, "we need to hurry up. I'll do a little favor later."

"Ambush must be set up for all the secret passages that can connect to the outside of the school. Each of us is responsible for one," Fred arranged work for George and Gwen like a steady big brother at this time. "I'm going to the Gregory the Butter statue."

"Leave it to me, the one-eyed old woman." George also dug out a portable swamp and some new products that had obviously not been tested for safety. "Gwen can go to the big mirror on the fifth floor."

Gwen's worried eyes left his hands, "As far as I know, the secret passage on the fifth floor has collapsed and is completely blocked." She looked down and suddenly realized something: "We forgot the Whomping Willow ! Give me some decoy bombs, see you soon, gentlemen."

All the while, the electric current between Gwen's temples had kept her lucky enough to avoid catastrophe.Only this time, Gwen was so numb to the lingering bad premonition that she forgot about one omen: that whenever the Weasley twins separated, something bad was going to happen.

Despite the twists and turns, Harry learned of Riddle's story from Helena Ravenclaw.

"Well, you're not the only one who has been tricked by Riddle's rhetoric," Harry muttered. "He can make himself charming when he needs to be..."

With that said, Voldemort tricked out Lady Gray with the whereabouts of the missing diadem.He went to that distant forest and retrieved the hidden diadem, probably not long after he left Hogwarts, before he started working at the Borgin & Burke store.

Years later, when Voldemort needed a place to hide and spend a long decade undisturbed, wouldn't those desolate and remote Albanian forests be his ideal refuge?

However, once the diadem had become his precious Horcrux, it would not have remained in that humble tree... No, the diadem had been secretly returned to its true home, where Voldemort must have placed it—

"—the night he came to apply for the job!" Harry finally got his head together.

"What did you say?" asked the ghost.

"Hid the diadem in the castle the night he came to ask Dumbledore to let him teach!" said Harry, speaking the thought aloud so that the reasoning became clearer, "He went up or down to Dumbledore He must have hidden the diadem on his way to his office! But he still wants to get the job - that way he'll have a chance of stealing the Gryffindor sword too - thank you, thank you so much!"

Harry turned and left, leaving only the ghost floating there, bewildered.Harry looked at his watch as he turned the corner back into the foyer: it was five minutes to midnight, and although he had figured out what the last Horcrux was, he still had no idea where it was hidden...

Generations of students had failed to find the diadem, which meant it wasn't in Ravenclaw Tower - but if it wasn't there, where was it?Tom.What secret place did Riddle find in Hogwarts Castle and believe that it will never be known?

Thinking desperately, Harry turned another corner, but he hadn't taken a few steps in the new corridor when he heard a loud crash and the window on the left burst open.He jumped aside quickly, and a huge object flew in from the window and hit the opposite wall.Immediately afterwards, another big furry thing broke free from the huge body, barked softly and rushed towards Harry.

"Hagrid!" Harry roared, trying desperately to get rid of the Hound Fang's attentions, and the bearded behemoth struggled to stand up, "Why—?"

"Harry, you are here! You are here!"

Hagrid bent down and gave Harry a quick hug, nearly breaking his ribs, before running back to the shattered window.

"Good boy, Grop!" he called through the hole in the window. "See you later, good boy!"

In the pitch blackness behind Hagrid, Harry saw sudden bright lights in the distance, and heard a strange, mournful scream.He looked down at his watch: it was midnight.The battle begins.

"My God, Harry," gasped Hagrid, "it's coming, isn't it? War?"

"Hagrid, where are you from?"

"We heard You-Know-Who's voice in the cave up above," said Hagrid grimly. Here, you know what happened. Come down, Fang. So we came to war, me and Grop and Fang. Grop carried me and Fang, and broke through the school boundary from the forest. I call him Put me down in the castle, and he ended up pushing me in through the window, really! I didn't mean that, but—what about Ron and Hermione?"

"Hey," said Harry, "you're really asking. Let's go."

Together they hurried down the corridor, Fang bouncing along beside them.All around Harry heard noises in the corridors: running, shouting.Through the window, he saw bright lights flickering on the dark playground.

"Where are we going?" asked Hagrid, breathlessly, following Harry so heavily that the floor shook.

"I don't know," said Harry, taking another blind turn, "but Ron and Hermione must be somewhere around here."

The first batch of casualties on the battlefield were already lying on the front passage: the two stone beasts that usually guarded the entrance to the teacher's office had been hit by a curse shot from another broken window, and they were broken into four pieces. There was a limp wriggling on the floor.A detached head moaned feebly as Harry jumped over it, "Oh, leave me alone... just let me lie here and fend for myself..."

That ugly stone face reminded Harry suddenly of the Xenophilius marble bust of Rowena Ravenclaw, with that ridiculous headdress - and then of the Ravenclaw tower The statue of him, with his white curly hair crowned with a stone crown...

As he ran to the end of the passage, he remembered the third statue: an ugly old wizard, on whose head Harry himself had put an old wig and a tattered crown.Harry suddenly shuddered, as if stimulated by flaming whiskey, and almost fell to the ground.

He finally knew, where the Horcrux was waiting for him...

Tom Riddle had always been a loner, trusted no one, and was so arrogant that he probably thought he—and he alone—knew the deepest secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle.Model students such as Dumbledore and Flitwick undoubtedly never set foot in that special place, but Harry, at school, had been to places that ordinary people hadn't been to-finally, there was a place that only he and Voldemort knew and Dumbledore The secret that Lido never discovered——

Professor Sprout woke him up from his contemplation, she walked over with heavy steps, followed by Neville and six or seven other students,
