Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"About the Double Snake Staff, I think you must know more than me, Mr. Minister." Ai Wen continued, "That staff has disappeared!"

"How did it disappear?"

"It just disappeared, I put it on my bedside before I went to sleep, and when I woke up it was gone, maybe it was stolen, but I think it was because of magic, like the magic on the sword of Gryffindor, that Wizards of the era always like to cast such spells on precious magic items.” Ai Wen said innocently, “I’m just a Gryffindor, maybe I don’t deserve to have a staff of two snakes at all, if you want to find it, I I suggest you look for the real Slytherin, there must be someone in your mind. Do you need my advice? I think the Malfoy family has been pure Slytherin for generations, and the scepter may be in their manor. You You can go and have a look there. As far as I know, Lucius Malfoy has always been on good terms with the Ministry of Magic, and he might be very willing to give you the staff of the Twin Snakes."

As soon as Ai Wen finished speaking, Scrimgeour's face turned livid.

He seems to know that Aiwen is not telling the truth, but there is no evidence to refute it. The death eater Lucius Malfoy has a good relationship with the Ministry of Magic, which is even more ironic.

Since the fall of Azkaban, the Ministry of Magic has lost control of not only a wizarding prison on the North Sea, but also several other Death Eater gathering places, including Malfoy Manor, which is now a Death Eater. The stronghold of the gangsters, with the current strength of the Ministry of Magic, it is impossible to enter.

As long as Voldemort is around, no Auror can match him.

Scrimgeour was well aware of the situation, and that's why he couldn't wait to know the secret left by Dumbledore. This secret could be a powerful weapon or a way to defeat Voldemort. You can rush into Malfoy Manor with Aurors and fight Voldemort and Death Eaters.

This was probably Scrimgeour's plan, but the actual situation was completely different from what he imagined. His idea was wrong from the very beginning, and it was doomed to fail.

Moreover, the situation was much worse than he had imagined. Scrimgeour probably believed that Voldemort and the Death Eaters were retreating in places like Malfoy Manor, waiting for him to lead someone to attack at any time, but he did not expect that these dark wizards would counterattack the Ministry of Magic.

Even during the last war, nothing like this happened.

"As for what you said, the Ministry will investigate further. Mason, you'd better have enough evidence to prove that what you said is true, otherwise you will face the most serious charges." Scrimgeour said bluntly, "As for Malfoy Manor, I'll go...and, I'm disappointed in you guys."

"We're disappointed in you too, Minister," Harry replied curtly.

Obviously, they fell apart!

Scrimgeour didn't stay any longer, he took a deep look at Ivan and Harry, then turned around without saying a word, and limped out of the room.

Mrs. Weasley hurriedly followed, and she stopped at the back door for about a minute before shouting, "He's gone!"

Shortly after Scrimgeour left, Sirius returned, but Lupine and Tonks never reappeared.

Still in the living room on the first floor of the Burrow, the conversation continued, but this time, the object of the conversation with Ivan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron became Sirius.

Mrs. Weasley had just left and told them not to talk too long.

"What does he want to do?" Sirius asked.

"He's come to give us what Dumbledore left us," said Harry. "They've just brought out what he bequeathed."

"Then he also wanted to know why Dumbledore left these things to us." Hermione continued, flipping through the collection of fairy tales in his hand curiously, "He seems to think that there is a secret to defeating Voldemort hidden in it."

"Dumbledore did leave information in it, some information that will help us, but we need to study it more." Ivan said, taking over the statue of the evil god from Sirius, it looks more like a distorted piece of tree roots.

"Ewen, if this thing is really related to that monster, it is very dangerous."

"I know, Sirius!" Ivan replied, "I will be careful, the evil god turned into by the despicable Haierbo is already very weak, and its remaining power cannot affect reality, this statue can help me figure out how to Destroy the beacon."

"Just be yourself!" Sirius continued to ask, "What do you think about the other things left by Dumbledore? Or know something?"

"There are some, but more are unclear. He must think that these things will help us, when we really need to use them..."

"When do you really need to use it?!" Sirius repeated noncommittally. He was checking Harry's golden snitch. stuff in there."

"Scrimgeour thought so too, but he couldn't open it."

"He seemed to decide what would happen when he gave the Snitch to Harry," said Hermione. "It was left to Harry by Dumbledore, and only Harry could open it."

"I don't know what to do either," Harry said, shaking his head. "I don't have a clue. Wait, this is the Snitch I caught in my first competition."

Everyone seemed confused, only Ron reacted.

He gasped and pointed his hand now at Harry, then at the Snitch, until he could say, "The one you almost swallowed!"

"That's the one!" Harry said, taking the Snitch from Sirius, his pulse beating faster and faster, "I didn't try very hard to open it in front of Scrimgeour, maybe the Snitch really has physical memory on it , but it definitely won't open when I touch it with my hand, but..."

He put his lips to the Snitch, his heart pounding, but as before, nothing happened, the ball didn't open.

"I thought something was going to happen, it doesn't seem like that..." Harry put the Snitch down in disappointment, but Hermione cried out.

"Wait a minute! There are words on it, look at it!"

Everyone looked up to the Snitch. Hermione was right. On the smooth golden sphere where there was nothing just now, there appeared five thin raised italics. They were Dumbledore's notes: I opened the last of……

Chapter 1584

I opened the last one.

What do you mean?

Before everyone could understand, that line of writing disappeared.

"I opened the last one, what does that mean?" said Harry, confused.

Hermione and Ron shook their heads, confused.

"Open when closed, when I open the last, I open at the end..." Sirius was still spelling out the few words just displayed, trying to find out the meaning.

"I opened it at the end." Ivan said, "Dumbledore left magic on the Snitch, and Harry can only open it when he thinks it's the last."

He didn't finish his sentence, and he didn't say that there was a resurrection stone inside. The meaning of this incident was not as simple as opening the Snitch.

In fact, only when Harry really has the courage to face death and die calmly, can he open the snitch and get the resurrection stone inside.

The resurrection stone will not help people resurrect, but it can make people understand the true meaning of death.

At that time, Harry's parents, his deceased relatives, and innocent people killed by Voldemort will come out to help him and give him courage.

The courage to face death generously and keep going.

Death, to be precise, was killed by Voldemort himself, this would be Harry's ultimate fate.

It's hard, but it's something that can't be changed.

To destroy the soul of Voldemort in Harry's scar, he must die.

Although Dumbledore said it might be possible to use the magic of the Two Serpents to do this, no one knew how.

Dumbledore can train Ivan as his helper against Voldemort and evil gods, but for Harry, he can only grow him in this way, especially spiritual growth, because only Harry himself can understand the process of death , to make the final decision.

This is a much more difficult knowledge than magic, and even Ivan doesn't quite understand it.

Aiwen can learn a lot of magic, he can figure out the ins and outs of the whole incident, and be a prophet, but without that kind of experience, without that kind of awareness and understanding, he can't face death or understand what love is...

This is also what Dumbledore has been emphasizing. The strongest power is not magic, and the most terrifying thing is not death. Voldemort will never understand these things, so no matter how strong he becomes, in Dumbledore's eyes It's all ridiculous.

Of course, these are just Ivan's guesses, and there are many things he doesn't understand in this regard.

"Ivan, what did you mean when you said it was over?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Literally, it means when everything is about to end, maybe when we and Voldemort finally fight." Ivan said, "Maybe when Dumbledore thinks everything is about to end, anyway, by then you will understood."

Harry didn't understand Ivan's answer, but Sirius ordered, "Keep the snitch close to you, Harry, Dumbledore must have left something important for you inside, and when you need it, or don't When you mess with it, it will come out."

"If that's the case..." Harry muttered, putting the Snitch away.

"Well, Ron's Deluminator is a very practical magic item. Ivan's statue is related to evil gods. Harry's snitch can be explained in this way. So what's in this book?" Hermione said, raising her hand "The function of books is to convey information, but I don't understand. If Dumbledore really wants to convey some information to me, and this thing is very important, it must be passed on to us under the nose of the Ministry of Magic. He ought at least to let us know why... unless he thinks it obvious and not on our guesswork. Look at it, Beedle the Bard, I've never heard of it..."

"You're kidding, how could you have never heard of "The Tales of Beedle the Poet"." Ron said puzzled.

"No, I haven't heard of it." Hermione said in surprise, looking at Ron in surprise, "Don't you know?!"

"Of course I do," replied Ron, confused, as if he thought Hermione was joking with her again, "everyone knows that the oldest fairy tales are all written by Beedle the Bard? 'Fountain of Luck' , 'The Wizard and the Hopping Pot', 'The Warlock's Hairy Heart', 'Babbitty and the Stump'..."

"Sorry, I didn't catch that, what was the last one?" Hermione pressed.

"Don't be funny!" Ron looked at them incredulously, "How could you not know these stories, all the kids have heard of Babbitty the Mean Rabbit."

"It's also possible that we grew up in a Muggle family, me, Irwin, and Harry," said Hermione. "We didn't hear that kind of story when we were kids. We heard 'Snow White and the Seven Little Girls'." Dwarves', 'Daughter of the Sea', 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'Cinderella', I played Little Red Riding Hood when I was in primary school..."

"What are you talking about? A disease?" Ron asked.

Hermione snorted heavily and ignored him.

"Okay, Ron, it's not surprising that the three of them don't know "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". This is a collection of fairy tales circulated in the magic world. It contains many very old fairy tales. It has a history of thousands of years, because it has been circulated for too long, there are many versions of this book and the stories included in it." Sirius explained, "I remember I had a book when I was a child, which included the 'Fountain of Good Luck' , 'Wizards and Hopping Pots', 'Wizard's Hairy Heart', 'Talking Skull', 'The Legend of the Three Brothers', etc., but the one I saw was definitely different from the normal ones, and it should be read by someone A dark wizard adaptation, because the Muggles in the end of the story have a bad ending. I always think these stories are not suitable for children to read, it is too dark."

"I see, so what's written in this book are all fairy tales?" Hermione buried her head in those ancient texts again, and she couldn't wait to start reading the first story, "This is the ancient rune, this book The book must be quite old, but it's just a fairy tale..."

"Don't underestimate fairy tales, Hermione. "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" is different from other fairy tales. The magic items mentioned in it have all existed in real life. As far as I know, Beedle the Bard himself is a mad Melon, in the time he lived, there was no secrecy law, and wizards did not hide from the world like they do now. They lived with Muggles, so many legends and anecdotes circulating in the magical world were made up by the poet Beedle We can get a lot of inspiration from these stories.” Ai Wen said, “The collection of stories in your hand is different from other versions of this book. The difference is not in its age, but in this This collection of stories was edited and marked by Dumbledore himself, I read it just now, and the comments left by Dumbledore were not written casually..."

Chapter 1585 Hidden Clues

Dumbledore's interpretation of "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" is full of wisdom. He wants to use this collection of fairy tales to tell everyone a truth, and this is what Beedle the Poet wants to let everyone understand, especially the little wizards Fact to know: Magic can solve many problems, but it can also create just as many problems.

Therefore, wizards should be cautious when using magic and not abuse magic.

In Muggle fairy tales, magic is often the root of all misfortune.

Muggles are full of respect for wizards, they are afraid of magic, and greedily want to rely on magic to solve some problems, and the consequences are mostly not so good.Magic and wizards are common elements in Muggle fairy tales, but in the end, only those Muggles with good hearts and no malice are rewarded with magic.

In "The Tales of Beedle the Poet", the protagonist of the story is changed from a Muggle to a wizard.

They can use magic themselves, but the wrong use and understanding of magic can also lead to big mistakes. Many of these stories end with death, which seems to be a destined ending for wizards who misuse magical power .

Wizards who are extreme or narrow-minded by nature are extremely vulnerable to magic's backlash, because their choices and decisions are often wrong.

Similarly, damage done to Muggles by magic can cause the wizards themselves to suffer.

These ancient fairy tales included in "Story Collection of Beedle the Poet" just want to tell you these truths, no power can be above all things.According to the most basic magic theory, the more powerful the magic, the more restrictions it has.

The thin book "Stories Collection of Beedou the Poet" contains too many secrets and life philosophies, which benefit people a lot.

Of course, dark wizards and those pure-blood wizards who claim to be pure-blooded will not like these life philosophies. In the history of magic, there are not too many adaptations and interpretations of this little collection of fairy tales. Every few years a new edition of the story collection appears.

What the original version of "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" looked like, how many stories were included in it, etc. It is impossible to verify the information, but from the grammar and modification methods of the ancient runes in this collection of stories in Hermione's hands, It can be seen that this is close to the original version.

That is to say, the story inside has not been out of shape, it will not appear too righteous, and it will not be too dark. Dumbledore's annotations and interpretations make this book invaluable.Of course, this is for people who can understand the hidden information in it. If you can't understand it, then this book has no meaning.

"Ivan, are you saying that Dumbledore hid clues in the interpretation he left behind?" Hermione asked, she closed the book, and tapped "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" with her right index finger, " We have to find out for ourselves? By reading these stories."

"It should be like this. It is best to read this book several times and think about it carefully. It will not do any harm. Leaving aside the hidden information, "The Tales of Beedle the Poet" itself will tell us a lot of life principles " Ai Wen replied, "You can also show me after reading it, we two will study and study, maybe we will find something."

"Honestly, I've always thought that Dumbledore was out of his mind." Ron said suddenly, "He's an outstanding man, but his brain is broken! He always does weird things for us to guess, don't Said that there is also some information hidden in my extinguisher. What does he want me to do, take it apart and have a look?"

"Well, Ron, you don't know Dumbledore well, he's kind of weird, but you don't leave a thing for nothing, we should trust him." Sirius said, "In fact, if you If you know more about Dumbledore's past, you will find that he is far greater than we imagined. Since he left these things, he will definitely use them. Before they really work, I suggest You put them away properly. I have also learned about the general situation of the matter. If there is any new information, I will inform you in time. By the way, Harry, come with me after the dinner later, and I want to talk to you Let's talk about the things we didn't finish this morning. Now, we should go out to Harry's birthday party, otherwise Jasmine will definitely be angry..."

Sirius' reminder was timely, and they came out of the Burrow a second before Mrs. Weasley rushed in.

"You guys stayed in there too long, no, it's not your fault, dear, no need to apologize." Mrs. Weasley said, giving Sirius a dissatisfied look, obviously thinking it was his fault, "Come on Well, we're all starving and we don't want to start in Harry's absence... can I serve now?"

The banquet started, and the topic was still on the things Scrimgeour gave them, but Mrs. Weasley obviously didn't want to discuss these things too much. Looking at her expression, she seemed to think that the things Dumbledore gave them were dangerous. , which was something she had been trying to prevent all summer.

Because of Mrs. Weasley, no one said much about it.

Everyone ate in a hurry, and then sang "Happy Birthday to You" hastily. After eating the cake in two bites, the party ended.

Because of the wedding the next day and the presence of Scrimgeour, Sirius was going to stay tonight.Hagrid was also invited to the wedding the next day, and he didn't plan to go back to Hogwarts, but he was too big to sleep in the overcrowded Burrow, so he had to build a bed in the nearby field. a tent.

In this way, Harry didn't come back from below until very late that night, and he went down to continue the daytime conversation with Sirius.Ivan didn't go to find Hermione or Elaine. He leaned on the head of the bed and carefully studied the statue of the evil god in his hand, thinking about things, while chatting with Ron every sentence.

"Honestly, I think it's pretty cool right now," said Ron, experimenting with his newly acquired Deluminator.

He held the extinguisher in front of him, and with a slight click, the solitary lamp beside the bed went out, and the light source turned into a small ball of light and was sucked into the extinguisher. Ron pressed it again, and the light in the lamp Light bulbs flew to the ceiling, lighting up the room all at once.

"It's priceless, Ron, this extinguisher involves a lot of wonderful alchemy magic." Ivan said softly.

"Really? How much can it sell for?" Ron paused and continued, "I mean, they say it was invented by Dumbledore himself!"

"You don't intend to sell it, do you?" Ivan said absently, while carefully observing the statue of the evil god, he distinguished the distorted eyeballs, body, and protruding brain, this statue and the three nameplates in his hand Almost exactly the same, "Dumbledore left it exclusively for you, and certainly not for you to exchange it for money."

Chapter 1586 The Crazy Scrimgeour

"Sell it?! How could I do that, I will never sell it in my life." Ron said, "I just want to convert it into gold so that I can know its value exactly, you know what I mean Right? You are an expert in this area, Aiwen, help me estimate the price, you know, I rarely come into contact with such valuable magic items."

"If you let me bid, I'm willing to pay [-] gold Galleons for this extinguisher!" Aiwen said perfunctorily, trying to input magic power into the statue of the evil god in his hand, "Of course, no one will sell it at this price , so it's only a theoretical price, and Dumbledore would have it..."

Ai Wen couldn't remember what he said later.

As his magic power entered the statue of the evil god, he felt his thoughts float out of his body and follow the magic power into it.

At this moment, his mind, soul, senses, everything and magic merged into one.

Ivan's magic power brought these things into the statue from the top one-eyed position of the statue, and the feeling of passing through the statue of the evil god was as if he was stuffed into a narrow rubber tube, and the pressure came from all directions, squeezing he.

Driven by magic power, he flows forward like a liquid along a non-existent pipe.

Forward, forward!

Aiwen really entered the statue, and the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger!

Just when he was almost out of breath, his eyes suddenly opened up, the pressure disappeared, and he passed through the statue of the evil god and entered it.
