Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

The whites of the eyes seem to be permanently filled with blood, but the pupils are still normal, not like they have completely become two slits now.

Besides, he wore a long black cloak, and his face was as white as the snowflakes on his shoulders.

It's really scary, this is definitely what a monster in a nightmare or a horror story looks like, a horror-level monster!

Dumbledore behind the table didn't show any surprise. This visit was obviously scheduled, and he was also prepared for Voldemort's appearance.

"Good evening, Tom, it's been a long time!" Dumbledore said relaxedly, "Sit down."

"Thank you." Voldemort sat down on the chair Dumbledore pointed to, his voice was cold, "I heard they said that you became the headmaster, a respectable choice."

"I'm glad you agree." Dumbledore smiled. "May I buy you a drink?"

"Thank you very much," said Voldemort. "It's just what I need. I've come a long way."

Dumbledore stood up and walked quickly to the cabinet where the Pensieve now stood, but it was full of wine bottles.

He handed Voldemort a glass of wine, poured himself a glass, and returned to his desk.

"So, Tom, what brings you here?"

Voldemort didn't answer right away, but just sipped and savored the wine, seeming to enjoy it.

"They don't call me Tom anymore, it's been a long time since I've been called that, and now I'm called..."

"I know what you're called!" Dumbledore smiled happily, "but to me you'll probably always be Tom Riddle, the little boy I met in the orphanage. That's probably what being a teacher is all about." One of the annoying things about it, Tom, is that they never quite forget where the students were."

He raised his glass to toast Voldemort.Voldemort was still expressionless, and the atmosphere in the room changed subtly and became much colder in an instant.

Dumbledore's refusal to use Voldemort's chosen title was refusing to let Voldemort dictate the conversation.

Voldemort clearly felt it too, not just dominating the conversation, the title Tom seemed to annoy him, something he didn't want to recall or admit.

"I'm surprised you've been here so long!" said Voldemort after a pause, swirling the wine in his glass. "I've always wondered how a wizard like you never wants to leave school."

"Oh!" said Dumbledore, still smiling, "for a wizard like me, there is nothing more important than teaching ancient arts and training young minds. If I remember correctly, you have also seen the teaching profession Appeal."

"I can still see it now!" said Voldemort. "I just wonder why you are often asked by the Ministry of Magic, and it seems that someone who has been nominated for the Minister of Magic twice, would be willing to..."

"Three times actually, but a Ministry career never appealed to me. It's something we have in common, I think."

Voldemort lowered his head without smiling, and took another sip of his wine, as if trying to figure out what to say next.

The atmosphere in the office was delicate, Dumbledore did not break the silence between the two, but looked forward to Voldemort speaking first with a happy expression.

He has always taken the initiative, whether it is in momentum or in topic.In the entire wizarding world, only Dumbledore can do this.

"I'm back!" said Voldemort, after a moment, "perhaps a little later than Professor Dippet expected...but back in order to reapply for the position he then said I was too young for. I have come to ask you to allow me to return to this castle to teach, you must know that I have seen and done a lot since I left here, and I can teach your students what other wizards will never learn."

Dumbledore looked at Voldemort over his glass for a moment before saying, "Yes, I know you've seen and done a lot since you left us. Rumors of what you've done have reached your alma mater, Tom. I would be very sorry if half of them were to be believed."

"Really? Regret?" said Voldemort, still deadpan. "Greatness breeds envy, envy breeds malice, and malice breeds lies. You must know that, Dumbledore."

"Oh, you call what you do great, don't you?" Dumbledore asked gracefully.

"Of course!" said Voldemort, his eyes seemed to be burning red. "I have done many experiments and may have pushed magic to an unprecedented level..."

Chapter 1444 Voldemort Looking for Love

"Some magic!" Dumbledore corrected him calmly. "Some, Tom, but about others you're still, well, with all due respect... pathetic ignorance."

Voldemort laughed for the first time, it was a contemptuous sneer, an evil expression, more terrifying than rage.

"Old argument," he said softly, "you are the same as ever, Dumbledore, and yet nothing I have seen in the world bears out your famous claim that love is stronger than my kind of magic. No, in my It seems that your so-called love is vulnerable to powerful magic."

"Oh, really? Maybe you're looking in the wrong place." Dumbledore reminded.

"So, where better to start a new research than here, than at Hogwarts?" said Voldemort. "Will you let me come back? Will you let me share what I have learned with your students Do I give myself and my talents to you, at your command? Also, can you help me find love here?"

The corner of Aiwen's mouth is slightly down. This is really an interesting topic, helping Voldemort find love in Hogwarts.

Does he need love?

Was there the love he was looking for at Hogwarts?

Also, love, does Voldemort really understand such complex emotions?

Hogwarts is not a school of love, teaching students how to get love.Those who know how to love can find love no matter where they are, and those who don't know will never understand, even if love is right under their eyes.

Sure enough, Dumbledore behind the desk frowned slightly.

"You want to go back to Hogwarts? And what about the people you command? What about the people who call themselves, or are said to call themselves, Death Eaters?"

Voldemort's eyes were glowing red again, and the slit-like nostrils were dilated.

Apparently, he didn't seem to expect Dumbledore to know the name Death Eater.

"My friends," he said after a moment's pause, "they'll go on without me, I'm sure."

"I'm glad to hear you call them friends!" said Dumbledore. "I thought they were more like your servants."

"You are wrong," said Voldemort.

"So, if I go to the Pig's Head Bar tonight, I won't see that group of people, Nott, Rozier, Mulciber, Dolohov, waiting for you to go back, right? What a loyal friend, with you Trekking so far on a snowy night and waiting there just to wish you a teaching position."

Dumbledore's knowledge of his entourage no doubt made Voldemort even more annoyed, and his eyes grew redder, but he calmed down almost immediately.

"You still know everything, Dumbledore."

"Oh, no, it's just a good relationship with the local bartender." Dumbledore said lightly, "Now, Tom..."

He put down the empty glass and sat up straight, touching his fingertips, which was his usual posture.

"Let's get this out of the way, why are you bringing your men here tonight, applying for a job that you and I both know you don't want?"

Hearing his words, Voldemort looked coldly surprised, "A job I don't want? On the contrary, Dumbledore, I want this job very much. Whether it is past, present, or future, I want it more desperately." To stay and teach at Hogwarts. This is my home, and I want to go home."

"I'm not terribly surprised that you consider Hogwarts your home, and any well-intentioned student is always welcome back to Hogwarts," said Dumbledore, "but to be honest, Tom, you really Never thought about teaching, then or now. What do you really want? Why can't you be honest for once?"

Voldemort sneered, "Dumbledore, if you don't want to give me a job..."

"Of course not!" Dumbledore said, "And I don't think you expected me to give it to you, but you still came and made an application. You must have something in mind."

Voldemort stood up, scowling, looking less like Tom Riddle than ever.

"Is this your final decision?"

"Yes!" Dumbledore also stood up.

"Then we have nothing to talk about."

"No more," said Dumbledore, with deep sorrow on his face. "It's not like 20 years ago, Tom. The time when I could frighten you with a burning wardrobe and force you to atone is long gone. But I hope , Tom, I wish I could..."

Voldemort sneered, Dumbledore's attitude didn't move him at all, but enraged him even more. For a moment, he moved his hand to the wand in his pocket...

But the moment passed, Voldemort had turned away, the door was closing, and he was gone.

"Okay, let's go back!" Dumbledore said, taking Ivan and Harry back to the real office.

"Professor, why did he come back?" Harry asked immediately, "Have you figured it out yet?"

"I had some ideas before, and Ivan helped me to confirm part of them." Dumbledore said, "For example, when he came back that time, he hid a Horcrux in the Room of Requirement."

"The Room of Requirement?!" Harry murmured, a flash of inspiration in his mind.

It occurred to him that that place would not be shown on the Marauder's Map.

Malfoy has been disappearing inexplicably recently, has he gone there? !

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Although Dumbledore and Ivan told him not to care about it, Harry decided to continue tracking.

"Yeah, the Room of Requirement, where Voldemort hid Ravenclaw's diadem, I tracked it down for a long time before I found it." Ivan explained, adding, "Because Ms. clues..."

The gem on the crown is in Aiwen's hands. It is not only the key to the secret treasure left by Ravenclaw, but also a proof of wisdom, allowing the wearer to obtain absolute wisdom.

"Voldemort is very interested in things that have the history of Hogwarts, and the treasure keys left by the four creators are exactly this type of item." At the same time as the puzzles left by the founder, most of the Horcruxes can be found."

If you think so, luck is indeed very good!

"So Professor, did you find anything else about that meeting?" Ivan asked.

"Yes, I have to admit, his appearance alarmed me," said Dumbledore. "It was also at that time that I began to speculate that he made Horcruxes, but to be honest, I never imagined that he would descend to That's it. Well, that's the end of our class for tonight, and I hope you both get the memory of Slughorn as soon as possible, before I get the item..."

Chapter 1445 Transformation and Retransformation

Since Dumbledore wants them to get that memory before continuing, get that memory as soon as possible.

Ivan thought of several ways, and it is probably impossible to use tough tactics against Slughorn, so he needs to use soft tactics: make him happy so that he can hand over his memory.

There are many ways to make Slughorn happy, such as giving him a bottle of wine he likes... Well, I guess after the incident of Ron being poisoned in front of her, he will never drink the wine that someone else gave him. If the wine is gone, then give him some delicious desserts such as candies that he loves most, the effect is the same.

Or, introduce some well-known people to him, he should be very interested in getting to know Keresis.

Or kill Aragog and give it to him, the venom of the acromantia is priceless, especially that of the king of spiders.

In all honesty, the way to keep Slughorn happy is to do what he likes, to satisfy his likes and needs.

When he is happy and satisfied, he will naturally hand over his memory.

Of course, during this process, don't mention Voldemort, Horcruxes, memories, etc. These topics are too direct and will scare him.

Also, about Dumbledore saying that Voldemort didn't want to teach, Ivan didn't agree so much.

Although the purpose is not pure, Voldemort must have wanted to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, otherwise he would not have put a curse on that class after Dumbledore said no, and since then, no one has ever taught Defense Against the Dark Arts. Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers have been teaching for over a year.

After leaving Dumbledore's office, Ivan told Harry his thoughts, telling him that if he wanted Slughorn to hand over his real memory, he needed to do what he liked to make him happy, and he could use it if necessary Felicia, the Potion of Luck would show him how to do it.

After Potions class the next day, they sent Slughorn a box of chocolate candies as planned.

This undoubtedly surprised him, but it is not enough to get the memory, this is a protracted battle!

As for Slughorn asking why they sent him candy, they just said it was delicious and wanted him to try it.

For this reason, Slughorn readily accepted the candy. He never refused the gift from the students and enjoyed it.

Except for the matter of getting Slughorn to hand over his memory, Harry paid more attention to Malfoy's movements than before!

On the night he returned from Dumbledore, he discussed this matter with Ivan, Hermione, Ron, Elaine and others.

"I know where Malfoy went. The conversation between Dumbledore and Ivan reminded me that he went to the Room of Requirement." Harry said, "That's where he did that... God knows what! I Bet that's why he disappeared from the map, come to think of it, I never saw the Room of Requirement on the map!"

"That room is magical, and it is connected with the ancient magic of the entire castle. The people in it need it to be displayed on the Marauder's Map, so it will not be displayed." Ai Wen said, "Well, I also Think Malfoy is there, and now that you find out where he's gone, what are you going to do?"

"We couldn't get into the Room of Requirement that Malfoy entered without knowing what Malfoy asked for inside."

"That's the crux of the matter," said Harry. "What ideas do you have?"

"How about just blocking him?" Ron suggested.

"It's not that good. If it's going to work, we've stopped him and asked him what tricks he's up to, so we don't need to bother."

"That's right, we have to follow him into the Room of Requirement to know what he's doing." Harry mused, "Speaking of which, I seem to have seen him lead two girls to the eighth floor recently, a lot Next time, will he let them in, maybe we... Polyjuice Potion, we can use Polyjuice Potion."

He suddenly became excited, as if he had thought of a good idea.

"Remember our first Potions class this term? Slughorn showed us Polyjuice Potion, and he has a whole pot of it in there, maybe we can figure out a way to get some of it out and become Malfoy The people around you look like we did when the Chamber of Secrets opened in the second grade."

"That's a great idea!" said Ron immediately. "I haven't tried Polyjuice Potion yet!"

"Wait, who are you going to become? Goyle and Crabbe? Or the two girls beside Malfoy you just said?" Ivan asked.

Harry fell silent for a moment, and it took him a long time to say, "I think it's a girl, Hermione..."

"Sorry, I'm not at all interested in what Malfoy does with two girls in the Room of Requirement, and I don't want to be one of them to go with him." Hermione said immediately, "Dumbledore told you to ignore this matter." Things, Harry, you and Ivan should think about how to get Slughorn's memory."

"If you want to transform, you don't need to go to Slughorn to steal the compound potion, I have it here." Ivan said, "But I don't want to be a girl either."

He had transformed into Gabriel before and was familiar with that feeling, but Ivan knew what Malfoy was doing in the Room of Requirement, so he didn't have to make meaningless transformations.

But he ended up giving Harry and Ron a big bottle of Polyjuice Potion, and let them figure it out for themselves...

If they insisted on figuring out what Malfoy and the girls were doing, the Polyjuice Potion would do the trick.

But having said that, Malfoy went to the Room of Requirement to repair the disappearing cabinet, why did he bring two girls there frequently?

Could it be that it is to carry out other sports to relieve stress? !can't...

Also, where did Goyle and Crabbe go, they should be on guard for Malfoy.

Wait, Ivan suddenly thought of a possibility, Malfoy wouldn't make Goyle and Crabbe take compound soup and turn them into girls in order to deceive people?

If Harry and Ron wanted to be with Malfoy, they would have to be like those two girls, but in reality they were Goyle and Crabbe.

It's not impossible for Malfoy and the others to do this, as Harry said just now, there is a large pot of Polyjuice Potion in Slughorn's place, and it is very easy to steal it...
