Chapter 170 The Vanishing Crown
Chapter 170 The Vanishing Crown
Halia closed the door intimately when she saw Lupine leave, leaving only Halia and Lordana in the kitchen for a while.Lordana looked around the kitchen, then at a cabinet under the boiler in the kitchen, and motioned for Halia to follow her out.
"You're finally back, what have you been up to these days?" Halia asked after Lordana, but Lordana just turned around and smiled at Halia.
Seeing this, Halia said again: "There is a hooded wizard in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, is he here to spy on you, or is he here to spy on the Weasleys?"
Lordana turned around and gestured to Halia, telling her not to speak, and then led Halia up the stairs.Halia didn't understand what Lordana meant, but seeing Lordana looking around, he seemed to be looking for something?
After Halia walked out of the kitchen, she saw that Kreacher had tidied up Black's old house in an orderly manner. The wallpapers and oil portraits on the wall revealed the nobility and antiquity of the Black family.Halia heard Lordana's soft laughter and followed her into the corridor.
Kreacher kept wiping the fence next to the fence in the corridor, with a small bucket beside him.Halia saw that there was still a locket hanging on Kreacher's chest.When Halia approached, she was about to say hello to Kreacher.
Kreacher took his keg, and the Apparating Apparition disappeared.But Halia could clearly see Kreacher's mouth opening and closing, and before leaving, he gave Halia and the others a vicious look, as if he was silently cursing something.
Halia looked at Lordana in astonishment.
Upon seeing this, Lordana explained to Halia: "A good house elf won't let guests discover their existence. But his habit of swearing has not changed. Sirius doesn't let him make a sound when he is swearing. Here Keep your eyes open, let's just chat here. I heard a lot happened during the summer vacation?"
"But Sirius said that Kreacher has become like a normal house elf." When Halia heard that the relationship between Kreacher and Sirius was still very tense, she worried that one day Kreacher would betray Sirius .
Lordana shrugged nonchalantly: "Normal house-elves are like this, obeying the master's orders and reducing their own sense of existence. Of course, according to Sirius, Kreacher still wants to be like his mother and be a lifelong member of the Black family." Served until after death the head was severed and hung beside the row of house-elf heads on the porch."
Seeing Halia's astonished expression after hearing Kreacher's pursuit, Lordana took the initiative to change the subject, talking about how she accompanied Hagrid to find the gathering place of giants during the summer vacation, and met many along the way. Thrilling things, especially the giants are not kind to them.
After listening to Lordana's words, Halia nodded subconsciously, and then realized that there seemed to be something wrong: "You said, it's you and Hagrid? What about Madam Maxime?"
"Well, of course she was there. The three of us were together, but she left because Beauxbatons was about to start school." Lordana looked towards the living room under the railing.
Halia shook her head: "No, no. If you went to find giants with the two of them... Giants don't like wizards, don't believe in wizards, and will reject Hagrid instead. Lordana, during your absence, What did you do? Can't you tell me?"
Halia tried her best to soften her tone and not be so blunt. If Lordana misunderstood that Halia wanted to interrogate Lordana, she might not be able to continue the conversation.
After Lordana heard Halia's words, the expression on his face became very rich in an instant.She smiled self-deprecatingly: "I came back because I saw your 'Tiara' report in the Daily Prophet. Do you have any important information?"
As soon as Halia heard Lordana's question, she knew that the conversation could continue.Halia smiled: "If you want to exchange information, also tell me what you have been doing during this time. I am really worried about you."
Lordana didn't know which words of Halia was touched, and stared at Halia for a while: "Ravenclaw's crown, I have been looking for it for a while. But there are few clues, useful Fewer clues."
When Lordana said this, his expression was cold, showing no emotion, and he continued to ask Haria: "In your report on the 'Tiara', you specifically mentioned Ravenclaw's diadem at the very beginning, Did you find something?
"And I also noticed that when people discuss Christmas gifts this Christmas, there are more options for 'crowns' than in previous years. And the first report that mentions using 'crowns' as gifts is from you. "
Although in terms of reporting, Halia didn't intend to hide Lordana's intentions, but seeing Lordana tell her what she did during this time so bluntly in front of her, Halia was shocked , Was he discovered so easily?
Halia thought again, anyway, whoever took the crown in the Room of Requirement has been taken away, and now Lordana can't see the original appearance of the crown, so she just said it directly.
"I seem to have discovered Ravenclaw's diadem at Hogwarts." Halia glanced at Lordana.Sure enough, I saw Lordana's very angry reaction.
"What?! I was... I went... to investigate for so long, and the diadem was placed under Dumbledore's nose?" Lordana looked shocked and angry, "How did you find out? You can Are you sure it's a Ravenclaw diadem?"
Halia shook her head: "But the crown disappeared again, I don't know where it went. When I was in school, I wanted to avoid Mrs. Norris once, and accidentally discovered a mysterious Hogwarts The room is full of sundries and everything, and some of them don't look like toys of this era.
"I was afraid Mrs. Norris would come after me, so I ran inside. Then I saw a tiara that looked like the one on Rowena Ravenclaw's head in the common room—almost identical. But when When I went to that place later, it disappeared..."
"Disappeared?!" Lordana interrupted Halia in shock, "Why didn't you tell Dumbledore when you saw it?"
"I'm not sure if it's the real Ravenclaw diadem, and you know the real diadem has been lost in history. Also, there's Umbridge in the school, in case she wants to make a fuss about it What?" Halia explained.
"How did that guy Umbridge go to Hogwarts?" Lordana was confused, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, you continue to talk."
Halia said helplessly: "I don't have anything to say anymore. When I wrote the report on the 'Tiara', I also hoped that someone would treat it as an ordinary tiara, and it would be best to give it out when giving gifts at Christmas. Or disguise it as a gift from someone else.
"In case anyone thinks it's just an ordinary diadem, a replica of a Ravenclaw diadem, maybe it's worn," said Halia, "and maybe it's a replica itself, because I was near When it's time, it can still talk."
