He discovered a great law of human conduct, unknown to himself, namely, that in order to make a man or a child want a certain thing, it is only necessary to make that thing difficult to obtain. --"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"

In a small corner of the library, I absently flipped through the potions textbook, although the little girl from the Order of the Phoenix didn't cause me any trouble, and Hagrid helped me attract everyone's attention very well, The matter of opening the Chamber of Secrets has come to an end for the time being, and it is not appropriate to move too much, but there is still one thing that upsets me recently, and that is about the Three Hallows of Death.Oh, of course, I have borrowed the collection of fairy tales in the wizarding world, even though the story of the three brothers and the god of death is very good, it is hard to believe its truth.But the prophecy of Sherry Ford sounded faintly in my mind again. If there is any secret treasure that is more valuable than Slytherin's chamber of secrets, I can only think of the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak, but I don't know that at all. No clue.

I unconsciously drew traces on the book with my fingers, and at this moment Stella suddenly sat across from me, and the familiar burning eyes in her eyes woke me up from deep thought.I stared at her with a little vigilance to see what she was going to say, and now the unusual brilliance on Stella's face reminded me of the not so good memories before, but this time I saw the expression on Stella's face. It should be a good thing to come, I have coaxed her well recently, haven't I?I comforted myself like this, and continued to suppress that matter in the back of my mind.

"Tom~ Let me tell you, when I was chatting with Sylvia just now, I suddenly remembered something. I think you should be interested. In the pure-blood family with a long history, there are precious materials that are not found in other places. They also have copies of many ancient documents that have been lost. I see you seem very depressed these days, maybe this news can make you happier?" Stella looked at me expectantly, and I nodded perfunctorily and praised her After a while, I fell into deep thought. What Stella said was right. It is really inefficient for me to blindly search for clues here by myself. It seems that I have to seek foreign aid this time, and maybe I can get some unexpected gains.

Thinking of this, I turned my head with a smile and said to Stella in a gentle tone: "Stella, do you have time next time? Maybe we can have a meal together?" Stella was pleasantly surprised, she nodded quickly in agreement, as if Afraid that I would repent, she trotted to my side and took my arm. I moved my arm uncomfortably, and took Stella out of the library.But today's dinner was really useful. I got a lot of useful information from Stella. Stella never guarded against me, except for monitoring my ambiguity with other people.I learned from Stella where the three brothers came from, the power of the Hallows, and she also gave me a list of families that may have information about them and the Hallows, which was very useful to me.

In the past few weeks since I got the news from Stella, I have been looking for relevant materials in the library and visiting the pure-blood families with some history according to the list given by Stella. There are only a few words and phrases of the old wand, and most of them are strange and treacherous ghost stories about the Elder Wand.And my last hope can only be pinned on one name - Ursula Hawes, this is the last name on the list, and when I saw this name, it suddenly occurred to me that Stella seemed to know something, Stella He once ran up to Ursula and threatened her after hearing Sherin Ford Farr's prophecy, so is there really something wrong with Ursula?Her family has a history of at least 2000 years, and I don't doubt how deep their heritage is, so depending on the situation, Ursula may, no, must know something, but she is not very sure, so... I stretched out on the back of the chair, Ursula is a good breakthrough, but, she is now in Germany, the stronghold of the Dark Lord, a bit troublesome, it seems that I will be more active this Christmas holiday.

Nothing major happened at Hogwarts before the Christmas holiday. There was no murder, no coma or disappearance. I walked in the school and looked at their relieved expressions, but there was only ridicule and pity in my heart. Poor children , your fate is in the hands of others, how can you still be so happy?Is it because you think Hagrid, who condones animals, has been caught and fired?What a pity.I spent the time before Christmas in peace and stability, until I got on the return train, I knew that my plan should start, standing in front of the train window, I looked at the direction of Germany and smiled slightly, the three saints of death Tool, I will definitely have a chance to get it, holding the key of life and death is really exciting.

After getting off the train, instead of going back to the orphanage where I was taken in, I boarded the ship to Germany with the ticket I had already bought.During this boring journey, I can enjoy myself, reading extracurricular magic books, sorting out the materials of the Deathly Hallows, and of course I put away the invitation letter that Ursula gave me through Stella.It seems that it is my good fortune that the Volpes Knights can recruit someone like Ursula. I caress the gilded lettering with the destination printed on it, Grindelwald Castle, His Majesty the Dark Lord seems to attach great importance to her Woolen cloth.

When I finally arrived in Germany, I shivered and wrapped my clothes tightly. The weather in Germany was much colder than that in England, so I immediately hired a car and went to the nearest hotel. Anyway, the castle will not run away there.By the time I lay on the warm bed in a foreign country, it was already a few days away from Christmas. I need to speed up my pace. After the festival, I have to go back to Hogwarts to go to school. Maybe next time I won’t have such a good opportunity up.

I can't just run over to visit Ursula so hastily, even if I have an invitation letter, after all, she is in the territory of the Dark Lord, even if she is still a member of the Walpus Knights, but Grindelwald and I The various gaps between you are still too big, but this may not be an opportunity, but I need to prepare.This brings me back to the original question, what excuse should I use to visit?I don't want to give up my self-esteem and humbly ask for an interview, and I'm afraid I will be looked down upon if I do so. I have to think of a good way...
