[HP] Night Haze

Staring at the crown that stopped at his feet after rolling on the ground for two weeks with a hellish expression, the blond boy swallowed and couldn't move for a while.A ruby ​​inlaid in the magic pattern on the crown flickered for a moment, and the freshly dusted dust spread in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Dust-proof curse?" Angelo bent down, and he noticed that there was a little reddish-brown trace on the magic pattern engraved on the crown—it was his blood, and the passage of time made it lose its original bright red.

"Clean it up!" She waved her wand again, but the incongruity did not disappear from the crown.With a puzzled tone, Angelo took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped it on that spot.Finally, that bit of color was transferred to the handkerchief, and the magic pattern on the crown lacked that bit of color, revealing the incomplete and broken wear marks of the magic pattern.

"Could it be that my blood just happened to fill the worn place, thus activating the dust-proof magic circle on the crown?" Angelo guessed. He only paid attention to his injuries in the Room of Requirement that day, and didn't pay much attention to the crown. How much blood was stained with him, otherwise Angelo would never look so relaxed at this time.

Perhaps it was the restored wound that paralyzed the boy's vigilance, and the little lion, who felt that all abnormalities could be explained, held up the gorgeous crown and sat back on the bed.From the dust accumulated before, it can be inferred that this magical object has been around for many years. Angelo felt that this crown gave him a sense of familiarity, maybe he had seen its pattern somewhere before.

This means that maybe the magical object in his hand has an extraordinary origin.Angelo turned the diadem so that he could see the pattern on the inside. If it had belonged to a certain family, it would have left a mark.

"Unbelievable!" The boy exclaimed. There was indeed a logo on the inside of the crown representing the person he once belonged to. The boy who touched the pattern with his hand fell into a short-term brain shutdown state.An eagle with high wings - this is a pattern that Angelo is all too familiar with. Almost every student at Hogwarts has had a dream: to find the crown that disappeared with Ravenclaw himself many centuries ago. Win proud honor.

Every year in Hogwarts Castle, the ghost born in Ravenclaw will be harassed by countless students. Those little wizards will do everything possible to try to get the location of that thing from the mouth of the ghost, but until now its whereabouts are still a mystery.

"So, you are the Ravenclaw diadem?" The boy's unbelievable tone rose to a sharp height, and the tiny Old English characters on the front of the diadem were also picked up by the boy who had just ignored it.

Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings.

——This unobvious text made Angelo affirm his guess.The things left by the four giants of Hogwarts thousands of years ago have disappeared in the long river of history.His father, Baron Lockhart, was once envious of the wedding gift given to the pure-blood nobleman Bellatrix Black Lestrange by the man who couldn't even speak his name in the most glorious period of the Death Eaters.

Hufflepuff's Gold Cup.At that time, there was a huge commotion among the aristocratic circles who attended the wedding. Baron Lockhart was not qualified to be there, and everything was learned from the mouth of the fiery old Mr. Lockhart.Judging from the tone of that lord that day, he seems to have more than one thing of the same status, but that lord will only bestow them on the most trustworthy "friends".Bellatrix is ​​well-deserved for claiming to be the most ardent follower.While the other nobles were envious, they couldn't help but have more imaginations in their hearts.Needless to say, the final ownership of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup must be passed down as a family heirloom. If they can also have this honor...

At that time, it was a glorious time for pure-blood families to join the Dark Lord. Except for a few neutral nobles and extremists, most people in the pure-blood circle felt honored to be able to join the Death Eaters.

Angelo held up Ravenclaw's crown with excitement. This magical object left by the Big Four is more magical than Hufflepuff's golden cup.According to legend, wearing the Ravenclaw crown will make people have extraordinary wisdom.Even though Baron Lockhart, who has never entered the door of the Death Eaters, told Angelo more than once about his desire and urgency, and his regret that the most precious item in the collection obtained during his adventure career is missing.But holding the gorgeous crown in his hand, Angelo never intended to take it for himself.Getting along with his adoptive mother Amelia has allowed him to retain a sense of integrity in a subtle way. Although he thinks that many things are usually unreliable, Angelo really wants to hand it over to the school this time. Honor and fame.

"Now, let me see if you can really bring wisdom to people as in the legend." Taking a deep breath nervously, Angelo held the crown solemnly with both hands, and put it firmly on his head.This is the final step in proving the authenticity of Ravenclaw's diadem.Although he intends to donate it selflessly, if he gets a fake, the Burns family where the adoptive mother belongs to will still feel ashamed for it.

A feeling of refreshment surged into his mind while putting on the crown, and Angelo felt that he had never been so awake before.The previous years seemed to have been spent in a daze, without any increase in wisdom, but Angelo felt that he seemed to have become smarter.This feeling was so good that he was reluctant to take off the crown, and a kind of negative emotion quickly grew in the dark corners of his heart, which made him have the gloomy idea of ​​taking what he wore on his head as his own.

"No! It's just clearer than before, but it doesn't mean wisdom! It's no big deal!" Restraining the signs of delusions in his heart, Angelo quickly touched the thing on his head with his hands, intending to take it off.

"Want to know what the wisdom of Ravenclaw is?" Suddenly, a refreshing voice rang in his ear.The young voice is full of magnetic charm, thrilling.

"Who, who is talking!" The sudden male voice made Angelo's fingers stagnate, and he paused the movement of his hands.He looked around in surprise.

"Don't talk, answer me with your thoughts, I can hear what you're thinking." The slight banter matched with such a voice is not offensive, but there is a desire to listen to it.Because he had been exposed to the Sorting Hat's dialogue, Angelo quickly found the source of the sound.

"Are you talking, Ravenclaw's diadem?" he thought to himself, his curiosity keeping him from taking it off right away.

"You can think so," the voice replied reservedly, with an unconcealable arrogance in its elegance. "Want to know why Ravenclaw's diadem is called the Diadem of Wisdom, Angelo?"

"How do you know my name!" Angelo put his hands on both sides of the crown again in fright, and his hands had already drooped unconsciously during the previous conversation.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you, how do you think the Ravenclaw crown brings wisdom to people?" The tone of course made Angelo feel despised, "Learn the knowledge of every wearer , to share the wisdom of everyone with the wearer. A long time ago, the sorting ceremony of Hogwarts was completed by the sorting hat, and I was responsible for the selection of the class teacher."

"It doesn't sound good. You stole their knowledge while screening them." Angelo curled his lips. He believed most of this reason. The lessons learned from the Sorting Hat made him not have too much doubt about the crown.Using an object of unknown origin with a mind of its own is dangerous.But even if proven, these magical objects are still full of unknown dangers.

"It's sharing knowledge." The young male voice corrected his words, "I share wisdom with each wearer, and I have never favored one over another. As long as you wear me, all problems can be easily solved, and it is the same for you, Angie Lo."

If you insist on matching this voice with a body, anyone can imagine a handsome nobleman in his 20s with Slytherin style elegance, but it does not belong to Slytherin, but from Ravenk Lau's crown.

"Thank you, Mr. Crown. I prefer to rely on my own wisdom to solve the problem." Angelo closed his eyes to calm his heart, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation.

"Proud lion, your way of handling things is more like a little snake." The voice was full of interest, as if testing the boy's determination time and time again, "The Big Four of Hogwarts are my first wearers, you know this Does it mean something?"

"I will hand you over to Dumbledore, maybe you can select teachers for the school like before." It is a pity that Angelo was not tempted by the words of the crown.

"I have a way to find out who your father is. Even so, you plan to hand me over to..." Angelo decisively took off the crown before he finished speaking.

"I don't care about my father anymore." He clenched his fists tightly and said to himself, but his floating eyes were not convincing at all. "Perhaps there was no such thing as a right to privacy a thousand years ago, but Mr. Crown, I hope you can apply what you have learned after sharing my knowledge and respect my privacy. Forget it...you can't hear it without wearing it." Boy He loosened his clenched fist.He picked up the schoolbag that had been abandoned on the ground for a long time, put it back on the bedside table, and stuffed the crown back in.

Ding... The sound of something hitting the bedside table made the boy stop being in a bad mood and making rougher moves than usual.Under his gaze, a familiar ruby ​​rolled down the edge of the schoolbag and flipped a few times on the bedside table.

"I broke Ravenclaw's diadem!" Angelo reached out to catch the gem as it tumbled to the edge of the bedside table.The ruby ​​shone brightly in the palm of his hand, but Angelo's mood suddenly fell into a trough.

Although I have seen the specific position of this ruby ​​inlaid in the middle of the magic pattern before, but the texture of the magic pattern is like a whole at this time. Angelo can't find the trace of the original ruby, let alone restore it. As it is.

What it needs now is a wizard proficient in alchemy to restore it meticulously, not a first-year imp.

"Are you okay?" Angelo carefully took the crown out of the schoolbag as if it were a fragile item, tried to install the ruby ​​several times, but failed, and put it back on his head.

"Of course there is something, you are missing a nose and show me!" The message sent back from the crown was extremely hot, "Okay, you send me to Dumbledore, and I will tell him that you sent Ravenc Law's crown was broken because of your violence! By the way, I can't absorb knowledge now because I lack that ruby!"

"I'm sorry!" Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Angelo panicked, "I didn't expect you to be so weathered, I mean...Dumbledore's alchemy is very powerful, he and Nicole Flamel are partners. "Extremely guilty tone.

"Angelo, do you want others to correct the mistakes you made? Avoiding responsibility is not what a Gryffindor should do." There was a hint of teasing in the angry tone, but the flustered little lion could not Experience the trickery that comes from the depths of Ravenclaw's diadem.

"Then what do you think I should do? I'm not trying to evade responsibility, I just can't fix you." Feeling about to cry.

"I can teach you, you must do as I say." After pondering for a while, perhaps due to the good attitude of the person who made the mistake, the charming male voice from the crown has calmed down.

"Let me see... I need some special materials, they are expensive, and some are not available for money. But that's okay, I know where they are. During this time, you must carry out what I say without error , this is the key to recovery. Remember! You have to listen to me." The magnetic voice deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the last sentence.

"I will try my best to make up for my mistakes, and I will listen to you." The boy said, and when he learned that expensive materials were needed, Angelo's first reaction was not to push this troublesome matter out, but to take it upon himself , completely dispelled the idea of ​​going to Dumbledore for help.

"Very good." With the expected satisfactory answer, the voice in the crown began to give orders. "You carry that ruby ​​next to your body. Although it is separated, it is also a part of me. I can keep in touch with you through it and look for those special materials. After all, it is inconvenient to walk around with a crown."

"Okay." The boy who knew nothing about alchemy easily believed the lie of the crown, and he solemnly put the ruby ​​that he had held in his palm all the time into the pocket that held the wand.

"Don't tell anyone that you own me, it's fatal to you, not even to your friends, they might inadvertently let it out, and I don't want Ravenclaw's incomplete crown to be revealed see."

"Okay." Angelo thought for a while and nodded.He thought the Ravenclaw diadem was a bit stinky.

The evil power hidden in the ruby ​​is secretly laughing. If the boy reads the books related to Ravenclaw, he will find that the ruby ​​is not on the pattern of the crown. In fact, it was still gray yesterday. The crown of Ravenclaw, because of a small part of the soul injected into it by a fanatic who pursued immortality a few years ago, a huge mutation has taken place.After decades of nurturing the dark objects of the Room of Requirement, and the "sane" effects of Ravenclaw's diadem, the soul had developed a mind of its own.

The prototype of that ruby ​​is the fresh blood that the boy left on it yesterday. Through the medium of the lost spell and blood, the soul can freely enter and exit in the crown and the "gem".

The wisdom theory about Ravenclaw is all false, and the poor boy was teased by the crippled soul who had been bored for too long.He had more direct ways of getting this boy named Angelo Burns to his knees.But he, who has been in Ravenclaw's crown for a long time, prefers to use peaceful means to solve problems than violence.

With the movement of putting the gem into the pocket, an inconspicuous faint magic pattern appeared on the completely healed wound on Angelo's palm.The pattern of these magewires might have screamed at the sight of a former Death Eater.But the blond boy didn't know anything about it.Before he knew it, he had been stamped with the unique mark of belonging to the Dark Lord.
