Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

It reared up and spoke in Mr. Weasley's voice.

"The Minister for Magic has come with me."

The patron saint suddenly disappeared, and the Furong family stared at the place where it disappeared in amazement.

"We shouldn't be here, hurry up, Sirius!" said Lupine immediately, "Harry, I'm sorry, I'll explain next time..."

"I do not go!"

"Sirius!" said Lupine's voice with a hint of warning. "We can't see the Minister."

"Okay, okay, I'll come back later, don't rush to sleep, Harry." Sirius said, getting up quickly, "You too, Alvin, I want to talk to you again Talk about future plans. Don't worry, I promised before that I wouldn't get involved, but there are some places you must pay attention to."

The two of them and Tonks left quickly, and the three of them ran to the fence, turned over and disappeared, Mrs Weasley looked puzzled.

"Minister, but why? I don't understand..."

There was no time to discuss the matter, and a second later, Mr. Weasley suddenly appeared at the gate.

He was accompanied by Rufus Scrimgeour, instantly recognizable by his long gray hair.

The two newcomers strode across the yard toward the garden and the lantern-lit table, and everyone at the table watched in silence as they approached.Scrimgeour stepped into the light of the lantern, much older than when they had last seen him, thin and haggard, with a stern look.

"Sorry to interrupt!" said Scrimgeour, limping to a stop at the table, "and I realize I've trespassed on a party."

His eyes lingered for a moment on the giant snitch cake, then turned to Harry's face.

"I wish you a long life."

"Thank you," said Harry.

"I want to speak to you alone," Scrimgeour continued, "and Irving Mason, Mr. Ron Weasley, and Miss Hermione Granger."

Strange, what did Scrimgeour want them for? !

"What did you ask us to do?"

"I'll let you know when we find a more secluded place," said Scrimgeour, asking Mr. Weasley. "Is there such a place?"

"Yes, of course." said Mr. Weasley, looking a little nervous. "Well, the living room, the living room is fine."

"Very well, you go ahead," Scrimgeour said to Ron. "You don't have to accompany us, Arthur."

When Ivan stood up, he saw Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley exchanged an uneasy look, and the four walked towards the house without saying a word.

Did Scrimgeour know they were planning to drop out of Hogwarts?seems not.

Could it be Dumbledore's will? When the headmaster knew that he couldn't do it, he made a will in advance, or made it a long time ago, just in case.

If so, what would he leave them?

Chapter 1578 Dumbledore's Deluminator

The five people passed through the messy and crowded kitchen and entered the living room of the Burrow, and Scrimgeour remained silent.

Although the garden was glowing with a soft golden sunset, it was already dark in the living room.

When Ivan entered the room, he waved his wand at the oil lamps, and they emitted light, illuminating the dilapidated but comfortable room.

Scrimgeour sat down in the soft, sunken armchair that Mr. Weasley usually sat in, and Ivan, Harry, Ron and Hermione had to squeeze one by one on the sofa.No sooner had they settled down than Scrimgeour spoke.

"I have a few questions for you four, I think it's best to ask them one by one, let's start with Mr. Ron Weasley, you three..." He pointed at Ivan, Harry and Hermione, "Go upstairs and wait, I'll talk to Ron first."

"We're not going anywhere," said Harry. "Talk to some of us, or none of us."

"That's it, Mr. Minister, everything we can tell you has been said at Dumbledore's funeral. I don't see the need to talk to one of us alone." Ivan said, Hermione Beside nodded desperately, "I think you should also understand this. In this case, you should have a special matter to find us this time. Is it related to Dumbledore? If so, then talk with us."

Scrimgeour looked at them all with a cold, examining look, as if considering whether it was worthwhile to reveal their hostility so early.

"Okay, let's talk about it together." He shrugged and then cleared his throat, "It's true that my visit this time has something to do with Albus Dumbledore, but not all of it, let's talk about it one by one , first of all, I want you to know that Dumbledore left a will, which mentioned the four of you."

Sure enough, it was Dumbledore's will, which seemed to be left by him before.

Except for Ivan, no one expected this, and Harry and Ron looked at each other even more, with "don't know" written on their faces.

"It seems surprising! Don't you realize that Dumbledore left us something?" Scrimgeour caught the look on their faces.

"Me, we both?" said Ron. "Me and Hermione too?"

"Yes, you all have..."

Before Scrimgeour could finish, Harry cut him off.

"Dumbledore was away for over a month, why did it take so long to give us what he left us?"

"Because I want to check what he left to make sure..." said Scrimgeour dryly.

"You have no right to do that!" Hermione said immediately, her voice trembling slightly.

"Of course I have the right," said Scrimgeour contemptuously. "According to the Rightful Forfeiture Act, the Ministry of Magic has the right to confiscate things covered by wills..."

"That law was made to stop wizards from diverting items of the Dark Arts," said Hermione. "The Ministry of Magic should have convincing evidence that the deceased's belongings are illegal before they can confiscate them! Do you mean that you think Dumbledore wants to leave Us something evil?"

"Are you planning a career in magical law in the future, Miss Granger?" Scrimgeour asked.

"No." Hermione retorted, "I hope to do something good in the world!"

"I don't quite get it, why have you decided to let us get our things now? No excuse to keep them?" Harry asked bluntly.

"No, it's because the 31-day period has expired," said Hermione. "They can't keep it longer than that, unless it can be proven that something is dangerous..."

It seems that this is the case, but it is meaningless to insist on this kind of matter, Aiwen said in a timely manner, "Since Dumbledore left something for the four of us, and it has reached the detention period stipulated in the "Justifiable Confiscation of Materials Act" , then please hand them over to us, Mr. Minister, am I correct in my understanding?"

"No, I don't think things are that simple, Ivan!" Scrimgeour shook his head and said, "The Ministry of Magic has good reasons to question Dumbledore's purpose for doing this, there are too many, for example, you can say that you and Is Dumbledore close, Ron?"

Ron looked taken aback by being called on suddenly.

"Me? No, not very close, I don't have much contact with him, it's always been Ivan or Harry..."

Hermione bumped him hard with her elbow, signaling him to shut up quickly. I really don't know where Ron's temper was with Harry and Ginny in the afternoon, but now he was completely panicked when facing Scrimgeour, and Ron shut up. mouth, but the damage was done: Scrimgeour seemed to hear what he expected and needed.

He pounced on Ron's answer like a hungry bird, "If you and Dumbledore are not very close, how can you explain that he left you a gift in his will? According to his will, he dedicated Bequeathed things to a few people, all of whom were close friends of his, except you. Most of his belongings, all of his private library, and his magical instruments and other personal possessions...all bequeathed to Huo Gwartz. Why do you think he thinks of you differently?"

Dumbledore didn't really die, he would come back, so naturally he didn't have to give everything to others.

Of course, if he did die, he wouldn't leave most of his stuff to Hogwarts.

Scrimgeour's words directly confused Ron. He looked at Ivan, Harry, and Hermione as if asking for help, and said hesitantly, "I...don't know, I, I just said that we are not very close. I mean, I think he likes me a lot..."

"You're so modest, he's very fond of you, Ron!"

"That's right, he values ​​you very much and has mentioned you more than once. I don't think it's a problem for Dumbledore to leave some gifts for Ron in his will." Ivan said, of course he knew that Dumbledore didn't think much of it Ron, he hasn't even been alone with Ron, but the important thing is the will and things he left behind, and there must be something in it that he thinks will help Ivan and the others, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this, "continued It doesn't make any sense, let's be honest, Mr Minister, what does the headmaster's will say?"

Scrimgeour examined him for a moment longer, then reached into the cloak and pulled out a drawstring pouch, much larger than the one Hagrid had given Harry.

He pulled a scroll of parchment from it, unfolded it and read aloud, "The will of Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore... yes, here... my lights out Leave it to Ron Billiers Weasley, hoping he'll think of me when he uses it."

Scrimgeour pulled something out of the bag: it looked like a silver lighter, but with a flick of the thing, it could suck all the light from a place and turn it back on again.Scrimgeour leaned forward and handed the Deluminator to Ron, who took it and looked at it in his hand, dumbfounded.

Chapter 1579 Harry and Hermione's Gift

Dumbledore's Deluminator is an alchemical product designed and made by him, which is invaluable.

As long as you turn on the extinguisher and click it like a lighter, it can absorb nearby light sources, from flames to lights. All light sources are absorbed, including sunlight, and returned when needed, which is very magical.

The extinguisher only absorbs the light source and does not affect the object itself.

For example, if a candle is used to absorb the candle light with a extinguisher, the candle itself is not affected, it is still burning, and you will still feel the heat when you approach it.

Taking away the light source does not affect the operation of the luminous object itself. This design is very powerful. Ivan is very curious about the working principle of the extinguisher.

Of course, Dumbledore definitely did not give the light absorber to Ron to let him study the principles of alchemy or simply use it to absorb the light source. This kind of thing can be done with other magic, and it may be easier to use the light absorber. Wind, a little more advanced, but this is certainly not Dumbledore's purpose.

He probably cast other spells on it, thinking it would help Ron.

Dumbledore gave Ron the Deluminator, so what would he give Ivan, Harry, and Hermione?

The gift for Harry, Ivan probably knew, was the resurrection stone.

After finding the ring and the resurrection stone, Dumbledore said that he was not qualified to keep the resurrection stone, so he gave it to Ivan for temporary storage, but before the last action, he took the resurrection stone back and planned to give it to Harry However, this Deathly Hallows cannot really resurrect the dead, but it can help Harry understand the true meaning of death.

And only when the three Deathly Hallows come together can they exert their true power. Harry already has an invisibility cloak, so it is also appropriate to give him the Resurrection Stone.

As for Ivan's own and Hermione's gifts...

Scrimgeour observed Ron carefully, and said in a questioning tone, "This Deluminator is a very valuable thing, and it may even be unique. It must have been designed by Dumbledore himself. Why did he make it so rare?" what is left for you?"

Ron shook his head, bewildered.

"Dumbledore must have taught tens of thousands of students." Scrimgeour asked stubbornly, "but he only left gifts for you four in his will. Why is that? Mr. Weasley, he thinks What are you going to do with his Deluminator?"

"Put the lights out, I suppose," murmured Ron. "What else could I do with it?"

Scrimgeour obviously couldn't make any suggestions either, he squinted at Ron for a while, and then turned to Dumbledore's will.

"My Tales of Beedle the Bard is left to Miss Hermione Jane Granger, in the hope that she will find it interesting and instructive."

Scrimgeour took out another small book from the bag, which looked as worn as the "Secrets of the Advanced Dark Arts" upstairs, the cover was spotted and peeled off in several places.Hermione took the book from Scrimgeour without a word, put it on her lap, and looked down.

"The Tales of Beedle the Poet" is a very old fable. The stories in it have been passed down for several centuries and there are many versions.

The edition that Dumbledore gave Hermione was also quite old, and Ivan noticed that the title of the book on the cover was compiled in ancient magic text.

He knew that there was a story about the "Legend of the Three Brothers" in this book, but he already knew the secret of the Deathly Hallows, this book was useless to him, Dumbledore should know this, but why did he Will give it to Hermione as a gift, is there any information hidden in it? !

Apparently Scrimgeour had the same doubts and doubts.

"Why do you think Dumbledore left you the book, Miss Granger?" he asked.

"He-he knows I like books," said Hermione hoarsely, wiping her eyes with her sleeve.

"But why this book?"

"I don't know, he must think I'd like it."

"Have you talked to Dumbledore about ciphers and other ways of delivering secret information?"

"No!" said Hermione, still wiping her eyes with her sleeve. "If the Ministry of Magic hasn't discovered the code hidden in this book for 31 days, I'm afraid I can't either."

She suppressed a sob, and Aiwen hugged Hermione and comforted her in a low voice.

Scrimgeour snorted, didn't continue to ask, and obviously couldn't think of any better question, he turned to the will again, "I left Harry James Potter, who was the first at Hogwarts to remind him of the rewards of perseverance and skill."

Scrimgeour produced the little golden ball, the size of a walnut, and flapped its silver wings limply.

"Why did Dumbledore leave you the Snitch?" Scrimgeour asked again.

"I don't know." Harry said, "Probably because of the reasons you read just now, reminding me that as long as I have perseverance, what else... can I get what kind of gains."

"So you think it's just a token souvenir?"

"I suppose so," said Harry. "What else could it be?"

"I'm asking you." Scrimgeour moved the chair a little closer to the sofa, and he seemed to think that this was a breakthrough point worth digging.

At this moment, dusk was really falling outside, and the big tent outside the window, high above the hedge, was frighteningly white.

"I just noticed your birthday cake was in the shape of a snitch," Scrimgeour said to Harry. "Why?"

Before Harry could answer, Hermione laughed loudly, "Oh, it can't mean that Harry is a good Seeker, that's too obvious. If I had to guess, maybe the Ministry of Magic or Mr. Minister would think that Frosting There must be a secret message from Dumbledore in it!"

"I don't think there's anything hidden in the icing," said Scrimgeour, "but the Snitch itself is a wonderful place to hide small things, and I'm sure you know why?"

Harry shrugged, but Hermione replied, "Because the Snitch has physical memory."

"Correct!" said Scrimgeour. "The Snitch was not touched by bare skin before it was released, not even by its creators, who wore gloves. The Snitch has a magic that recognizes the first One who touches it with his hand, in case there should be any disputes about the catch. The Snitch will remember your touch, Potter. It occurred to me that Dumbledore, for all his faults, was a master of magic, and he Probably put a spell on this snitch, and only you can open it."

"I don't know," said Harry, clearly not interested in touching the Snitch, and he probably thought Scrimgeour was right.

Ivan guessed that the resurrection stone should be inside, and this thing is not suitable for him to hand over to Harry, so it can only be handed over by Dumbledore in this way. The snitch is naturally enchanted, and only Harry can open it. When he needs to use the resurrection stone to pass the test.

Now, the presents of Harry, Hermione, and Ron are all confirmed, and it seems that there is no change from before, which is a bit strange...

Also, what will Dumbledore leave for Ivan?

Chapter 1580 New Beacon of Evil Gods

Harry's silence obviously aroused Scrimgeour's interest, and he asked, "You don't say anything, do you already know what's hidden in the Snitch?"

"Don't know," said Harry quickly, still wondering how he could pretend to touch the Snitch without actually touching it.

He turned his head and looked at Ivan and Hermione uneasily, wanting to know what the two of them were thinking and whether there was any way to stop this.
