Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure
Page 716
Three years ago, in the dangerous underground cave where the Cyclops was hiding, Alvin and Sirius took control of the dark wizard of a cult organization "Raven's Claw" who preached the Doomsday Judgment, and he mentioned the name at the time.
The lunatics had tried to use the power of the Cyclops to summon some sealed ancient demon, and had almost succeeded.
Raven's Claw is an evil organization that believes in evil gods and searches for ancient ruins all over the world, hoping to summon the evil gods to the real world to destroy everything.It originated in Hogwarts several centuries ago. At that time, several wicked wizards found the description about the evil god left by Ms. Ravenclaw. They got in touch with each other, gained great power from it, and have since regarded the words of the evil god as the truth.
They believe that in the near future, the evil god will break the cage that imprisoned them and return to this world to bring a new order.
This process is what they call the Doomsday Judgment, and the dark wizards who believe in the Raven's Claw of the evil god will gain a new life in this process.
After the evil god descends, they will receive the promised great benefits and even become the only survivors.
All in all, in Ivan's view, they are a group of dangerous lunatics, mentally abnormal, but they have powerful magic power.
Because of the help of evil gods, they are even stronger and more evil than ordinary dark wizards, they are very difficult to deal with, and the things they do are even more terrifying.
After Voldemort's resurrection and return, many dark wizards and evil organizations outside the UK declared their allegiance to him, including the unwilling Raven's Claw.
So when Harry mentioned Natalia, Ivan thought of this high-ranking member of Raven's Claw.
Three years ago, under the influence of Veritaserum, the dark wizard who was captured by Ivan and Sirius told all the secrets he knew about "Raven's Claw". At that time, he mentioned the black witch Na Thalia, a senior member of "Raven's Claw", a wizard who was active in Italy more than 70 years ago.
To be more precise, he is the most notorious dark wizard in the Italian magic circle in modern times.
She used to be Grindelwald's supporter and important ally, doing many evil things.In the Nordic regions such as the UK, few people have heard of her name. They may think it is an ordinary Slavic female name, but in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean coast, the name of the Black Witch is almost comparable to that of Voldemort.
When she was the strongest, she used to be Grindelwald's supporter and ally, ruling the entire Italian magic world and surrounding areas.
But after Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, the black witch Natalia quickly disappeared.
No one knows where she went, some people think she was afraid of Dumbledore, so she ran away and hid.
Some people thought she was dead, after all she was that age, she was already a very famous wizard before Dumbledore.
Through the many stories and rumors that have been handed down, we know that Natalia was once a beautiful witch. She was born in an ancient pure-blood wizard family in eastern Germany. Graduated from Durmstrang successfully.
Shortly after graduating, she obeyed the arrangement of the family and married another pure-blood wizard.
But her husband died soon after, on the wedding night.
And that's not all, it's just the beginning of a terrifying nightmare.
It is said that within a few years after that, Natalia, relying on her alluring beauty and ingenious concealment, married the only descendants of twelve ancient pure-blood families successively, and kept them all like a black widow mother spider All traces of it were removed, and thus gained notoriety.
By inheriting her late husband's estate, she quickly became one of the wealthiest women in the entire world.
Although her reputation is not good, there are always many male wizards who are attracted by their beauty and are willing to serve her.
Before the rise of Grindelwald, she already had a lot of power.
After taking refuge in Grindelwald, she quickly gained attention and became Grindelwald's most important supporter.
Not long ago, Voldemort went to Germany in person. Ivan thought he was going to explore the secrets of the Elder Wand and find the wand maker Gregovich, but now it seems that this is not the whole purpose of Voldemort. He also found the black witch Na Thalia came to his aid.
One of the most important believers of the evil god, and a dark wizard who wants to become the evil god, it is self-evident what the two plan to do together.
With the addition of Raven's Claw, things seem to be starting to take a more interesting direction.
Ivan briefly introduced what he knew about the black witch Natalia, and asked, "Harry, you just said that they are in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. What are they going to do?"
"They're going to open that door, which is a very large stone archway in the Department of Mysteries, with curtains on it, and people talking inside..."
Chapter 1603 Choice and Waiting
"Remember, I told you before that in the deepest part of the Department of Mysteries, the door is huge, as big as half the size of the Quidditch field..." Harry tried his best to describe, and he opened his hands with difficulty I made a gesture.
The stone arch in the Hall of the Dead in the Department of Mysteries? !
Aiwen knew which door he was talking about, the door of death, an ancient magic artifact collected by the Ministry of Magic.
That door leads to death, and behind the door is the world of the dead.
Only those who have witnessed death can hear the voice of someone talking behind the curtain in front of the door. It is the voice of the undead in the past. No living person can clearly hear what the voice behind the door is saying, and can only vaguely feel it. Voices are their lost loved ones.
The voice behind the curtain is very nostalgic and friendly, making people want to go and have a look, but this is just an appearance, the owner of the voice is actually the god of death, and it is deliberately luring the people in front of the door.
Therefore, only those who have actually witnessed death can hear the voice at the door.
If you can't resist the temptation and cross the curtain, then you will see the relatives you will never miss, and the only thing waiting for you is death.
This door is a bit like the resurrection stone, which is a magic item left by the god of death to lure people to death.
Perhaps, in the world of the dead, the person who crosses the curtain will finally be reunited with his deceased relatives and friends.
Under the watchful eye of death, as usual.
But at that time, you will also die, so what's the point of getting together...
Anyway, that door is extremely dangerous.
Over the centuries, the Ministry of Magic has invested a great deal of research into this door, trying to unravel the mysteries of death.
No one knows what the research results are. Ivan speculates that the Ministry of Magic should not have figured out the secret of the death door, nor opened it. The only thing that is certain is that this door leads to death.
The method is very simple, if someone steps over the curtain, that person is dead.
This is a more powerful and thorough death than the Avada Kedavra Curse. The soul and body disappear from this world. Maybe they, like Dumbledore, go to another world to start a great adventure.
In any case, Aiwen is not interested. He has always kept a respectful distance from this dangerous magic item left over from ancient times.
After trying his best to avoid the fate of Sirius' death from this door, he didn't study this thing again, but now, Voldemort and the Black Witch want to open it, explaining that this door is not only related to death, but also related to evil gods.
Voldemort has the statue of the evil god in his hand, he can contact the evil god inside, and knows a lot of information that Ivan and the others don't have. He wants to go through that door and enter the world of the dead, he must be planning to get something in that world.
Ivan is not clear about the plans of Voldemort and the Black Witch, but it is undoubtedly not a good thing, he has a bad premonition.
Since it is impossible to confront and stop it head-on, the only way left is to seize the time to increase its own strength as soon as possible.
Be as fast as you can, and unlock the secret treasures of the Hogwarts Four before Voldemort turns evil.
"What should we do now?" Harry finally asked, he felt a splitting headache, as if there were many questions for him to think about, and he remembered that he hadn't confirmed to Sirius just now what Aunt Muriel said at the wedding Ivan said he would tell himself about those things, but Harry doubted whether he had the energy to listen to them now.
As the mysteries piled up, Harry almost fainted from the pain of the scar on his head.
"Harry, what you see shows that there must be something the Dark Lord wants behind the door of the Ministry of Magic, and there is a dangerous dark wizard helping him." Hermione said seriously, "It's really bad. Seriously, we don't know what that black witch looks like, how powerful they are, what they plan to do with that door, or even how to open that door, we don't know, maybe we should..."
"Tell the news to the Order of the Phoenix and ask them to send someone to investigate what the Dark Lord is planning to do. The rest of us will go to Gringotts to find Hufflepuff's gold cup according to the original plan, but we must hurry up, it is best to do it now." Go." Ivan paused, looked up at the pale Harry, "Harry, are you really okay? Otherwise, let's set off tomorrow morning."
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, you can act anytime." Harry said weakly, "If you need to now..."
"You need to rest now, Harry! Ivan, do we have to go to Gringotts in such a hurry? Didn't we agree to stay here for a while, study what Dumbledore left us, and wait for the situation to clear up by the way? In action? Seriously, I haven't read that book yet. Sirius told us to stay here, besides, Ron hasn't been found yet..." Hermione frowned, and she turned to look at Ivan, her voice getting louder Getting weaker and weaker, "Well, it's important that the Dark Lord wants to open that door? Ivan, do you know something?"
"Not sure, I just have a bad feeling." Ivan said, "The plan has changed, Hermione, there is no time to stay here and wait for Ron, he will be fine, if Sirius and the others find him, He will be sent here. As for what Dumbledore left us, we can study it slowly. We will sleep here today and leave for Gringotts tomorrow morning. Come on, Hermione, Elaine, you can go to The bedroom upstairs, Harry and I go to the room upstairs, call me if you need anything."
Hermione seemed to be a little worried, as if she was about to say something, but she looked at Ivan and Harry, who had an ugly face, and finally said nothing; on the other hand, Elaine kept breathing indifferently, Obviously very sleepy.
After a hasty good night, Ivan helped Harry go to sleep.
……
Article [-] Early in the morning, Ivan woke up, his head was groggy, and it hurt even more when he shook it vigorously. His condition was much worse than yesterday. He seemed to have had a terrible nightmare, but I couldn't remember anything, and Ivan even wondered if he was connected to Voldemort's brain like Harry, otherwise why would he be so tired.
The sky outside could be vaguely seen through the gaps exposed by the thick curtains. The pre-dawn sky showed faint water-blue ripples, accompanied by bursts of coolness. Everything was so quiet, and Harry was still asleep on the bed next to him.
Ivan didn't wake him up, he stared at the dark ceiling for a while, then got up from the bed.
He felt that he couldn't bear to continue lying here, and he couldn't think of the terrible nightmare last night, and he didn't understand what conspiracy Voldemort and the Dark Witch were planning. There was only one road in front of him at present, and that was to get Hedge Patch's gold cup, this is the only clue, the only thing that can be done proactively, all the rest seems to be waiting...
Chapter 1604 New Ministry of Magic Policies
Ai Wen tiptoed out of the room, the stairs were dark and there was no light at all.
This dilapidated old house is like a sleeping monster, ready to be swallowed by someone at any time, but in fact, the house is not as quiet as Ivan imagined. With slight noises, the air is filled with a sweet smell. The two mixed together came from the kitchen downstairs, and it seemed that someone was preparing breakfast below.
Aiwen was a little curious, he shook his wand at the top of the stairs, and walked down the stairs with the faint light from the end of the wand.
A dreamy scene in the kitchen, no longer the cold picture of last night, the house elf Kreacher is running around, the copper pots and pans that are shining with rose color have been taken out, the wooden table tops Also polished and gleaming, the dishes set out for breakfast on the table gleamed against the cheerfully burning fire on which the frying pan was crackling pleasantly, and the air was filled with The aroma of toasted bread and fried eggs makes people salivate.
This place is completely different from the dilapidated scene upstairs. As soon as Ivan appeared at the kitchen door, Kreacher hurried over, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Good morning, Master Ivan, it's a pleasure to see you again, after breakfast Wash your hands before."
"Good morning, Kreacher, did Sirius ask you to come?" Ivan asked, while sitting at the dining table.
The house-elf brought him stacks of plates from which a good breakfast had been laid, and asked if he would like milk or coffee.
"Milk!" Ivan wiped his hands with the towel handed by Kreacher, and continued to ask, "By the way, Kreacher, I remember you were with Dobby at Hogwarts, how about it, during the summer vacation, Is there anything going on there?"
Ivan ordered Dobby to stay at Hogwarts and keep an eye on Dumbledore's tomb.
If Voldemort went there to take the Elder Wand, he would know first.
"It's nothing special, except that the rude big guy found a few fluffy monsters from the woods and raised them, and it stinks everywhere. Kreacher doesn't like Hogwarts, there is no Black in that castle The family’s ancestral house is good, but the young master usually doesn’t let old Kreacher come back, he is still such a prodigal, completely disregarding the family business of the Black family.” Kreacher said, took out a copy of the latest issue of "Daily Prophet" and handed it to Ai Wen, "This is what the young master told Old Kreacher to give to Master Ivan."
"Sirius just wants you to live with other house elves, so...you won't be so lonely!" Ivan explained in vain, Kreacher didn't seem to listen to his words, he shook his head and opened the newspaper looked up.
Today is the first day that Voldemort controls the Ministry of Magic. The headline on the front page of the newspaper is quite interesting. First, there is a photo of a huge head of Dumbledore, and then the photos of Ivan, Harry, Sirius and others surround Dumbledore in turn. .
The headline read: On the Death of Albus Dumbledore - We Need to Ask!
Whatever you ask, the answer is self-evident.
Ivan took a quick look. Although he didn't personally see all the things that happened on the Astronomy Tower that night, as a direct participant in the incident, he can be sure that none of the things said in this report and the so-called questioning are true.
They attempted to distort the death of Dumbledore so that the entire wizarding world would no longer oppose Voldemort, but oppose Ivan, Harry, and Sirius, at least making people suspicious of the three of them and the Order of the Phoenix.
That's enough when the seeds of distrust start to germinate!
This situation is not surprising. Voldemort has already controlled the Ministry of Magic, and the "Daily Prophet" will naturally fall to him. For example, Ivan's "Hogwarts Wizardry" has become the target of banning.
In fact, at the bottom of the front page, he saw the impatient "Daily Prophet" announcing a new list of banned publications, and the first one marked in red was "Hogwarts Witchcraft and Wizardry".
There is no mention of Voldemort throughout the entire article, which is exactly what he intends to do, to quietly take power.
Now, most wizards don't even know what happened.
Through the newspapers, they will only know that Dumbledore's death has a lot of inside information. It was a conspiracy jointly planned by Ivan, Harry, and Sirius, and that Rufus Scrimgeour died of an accidental illness. Pierce Thicknesse replaced.
The new Minister persuaded the Dementors to agree to return to Azkaban and work more closely with the Ministry of Magic.
It seems that a breakthrough has been made to convince the dementors, but people will not know that the Ministry of Magic is no longer fighting against Voldemort. Instead, the puppet minister Thickness will handle daily government affairs for Voldemort according to Voldemort's will. Outside the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort could expand his power with impunity.
However, as long as they are smart people, they can guess what happened from the dramatic changes in the Ministry of Magic's policy, but these people dare not say, they only dare to talk quietly. Now everyone in the magic world is in danger, and there is a lack of trust among each other. .
Aiwen flipped backwards, and the latest policy of the Ministry of Magic was published on the second page. They were really impatient!
"The Muggle-Born Register, the Ministry of Magic is promising to take action to investigate so-called Muggle-born populations to better understand the magical secrets they hold. More recently, investigations by the Department of Mysteries have shown that the Ministry of Magic can only Reproductive succession, people who have not been proven apprentices to wizarding families, so-called Muggle-borns, may have acquired magical powers through theft or force."
Ivan stopped, he saw that the Ministry of Magic used him as an example.
His most famous performance was his transformation magic in the last Quidditch World Cup, which prevented the entire playing field from collapsing. Of course, in the eyes of most wizards, this was extremely abnormal and unbelievable. There is magic.
People don't know Slytherin's locket, "Book of Abraham" and the magical magic on it. Using Ivan's case as an example, it will arouse the suspicion of wizards just right, even the wizards who support them. to refute.
The report didn't get too entangled in this matter, and continued to talk about the decision of the Ministry of Magic.
"The Ministry of Magic is determined to find people who usurp magic power like Alvin Mason, and will soon send invitations to every Muggle-born to attend a meeting organized by the newly established Muggle-Born Registration Committee."
Well, they have already been determined to be the one who stole the magic power, so one can imagine what the so-called meeting would be like.
Chapter 1605 Letter
The remnants of the Dementors who had rejoined the Ministry of Magic could once again be useful in these meetings of verdict.
Intimidation, violence, persecution, the new Ministry of Magic and Dementors all rolled into one.
It is no longer an existence that maintains justice and order in the magic world, but a source of evil and chaos.
Ivan could imagine what the magic world would be like next. He finished his share of bread and flipped through the newspaper again.
He was intrigued by a family photo with the words: The Dumbledore family, from left: Albus, Percival (holding newborn Ariana), Kendra and Aberforth.
This is the promotion of Rita Skeeter's new book, and the new Ministry of Magic seems to like her new book very much, giving her such an important promotional page.
Judging from the photo, Dumbledore's father Percival was a handsome man, with eyes that still seemed to shine in this faded old photo.
This was the first time Ivan saw him. The man eventually died in Azkaban for killing Muggles.
People who don't know the whole murder incident will think that Percival is a despicable criminal, like those most conservative and stubborn pure-blood wizards, who abuse and kill Muggles at will, just to satisfy themselves or have fun. Of course, he It's still very stupid. It was not uncommon to kill those Muggles so openly. Such things were not uncommon at the time, but like Percival, he did not hide or run away with a mask, but openly confronted the laws of the Ministry of Magic and was arrested. It's rare.
This murder case caused a sensation in the magical world at that time. Among some people, the murderer Percival was regarded as a hero by them. He did what they always wanted to do but dared not do, especially Percival. This was done to avenge his daughter, and it also endowed him with a strong sense of heroism.
It is difficult for Aiwen to evaluate Percival's behavior, but he has to admit that he is a great father.
He just chose the wrong way to take revenge, and responded to violence with greater violence. What he got was not relief, but endless pain.
