Chapter 651 The Lost Crown

Every autumn, the leaves of the Whomping Willow will flutter down, and they will not sprout again until the spring comes.

It's autumn again, the morning air is a bit chilly, the leaves of the Whomping Willow gradually turn yellow, it shivers anthropomorphically, and a large piece of leaves falls like last night's rain.

Ada emerged from the secret passage under the Whomping Willow and walked towards the castle in the incompetent fury of the Whomping Willow.

The venue is wet from rainwater, and your shoes and robe corners will get wet when you pass by. As Ada entered the foyer of the castle, her calf-hide boots were covered with a fine layer of water droplets.

Today is the weekend, and the students seem to have not yet broken free from the shackles of the soft and comfortable beds. The foyer is deserted, and the whole castle looks like they have not slept.

Along the ever-changing stairs, Ada arrived on the eighth floor of the castle, where Harry was waiting for her under the tapestry of a troll beating silly Barnabas.

Harry thought that the diadem might be hidden in the Room of Requirement, but the Savior did not act rashly. Instead, he sent a letter to Ada, inviting her to come with him. The situation in the cave was still fresh in Harry's mind. Although this was a school and Voldemort probably wouldn't be able to set up traps like the cave, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

Harry felt sad for a while while delivering the letter. He could no longer see Hedwig, who had followed him for many years, and could only use Ron's piggy.

Harry was not the only one under the tapestry, his good friends Ron and Hermione were there, as well as Sirius and Lupin.

The two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors stared at the opposite wall intently. They claimed to know everything about the castle, but they never knew there was such a magical place in the school.

"Concentrate on the space you need, and walk through that wall three times... and the room you need will appear!" Sirius said excitedly, "It's really incredible!"

At this moment, Sirius was like a boy who had never seen the world. The Room of Requirement did not appear on the Marauder's Map, not because of its unmarkable characteristics, but because the four Marauders really didn't know about it.

Otherwise, when Harry organized the D.A., Sirius wouldn't have recommended the secret passage behind the mirror on the fifth floor. It would have been better to directly recommend the Room of Requirement to Harry.

Lu Ping's mental state on the side was much better than before. He was also looking at the wall and said with a smile: "Why didn't we find it at that time?"

"Perhaps you have to consider some 'furry' issues at that time?" Ada said, walking towards the tapestry.

Lu Ping smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said: "Okay, okay, I already know that I was wrong. Just don't hold on to this matter anymore."

In English, lupin means lupine, and in Greek, it means "misery". The lupine seeds are extremely bitter and unpleasant to hold in your mouth, making you frown and seem painful. Therefore, its flower language is "bitter".

Moon Face's past life was as bitter as his last name. Now that he has Tonks and an unborn child, he hopes that his future life will be filled with joys and hardships.

Seeing the main player coming, Harry didn't waste any more time and walked straight to the wall. Behind the wall is the hidden Room of Requirement.

I need that hiding place, Harry pleaded in his mind, and as he ran past for the third time, a smooth wooden door appeared in the otherwise bare wall.

The Room of Requirement responded to Harry's plea.

Holding the door handle, Harry pushed the door open and was the first to walk into the room.

Ada and others filed in after him. When everyone crossed the threshold, they were stunned by what they saw.

The Room of Requirement grew to be the size of a cathedral, and the surrounding landscape looked like a city, with high walls made of the belongings of thousands of students who were no longer alive.

Ada picked up the old books piled next to her and looked through them. She found that several of them dated back centuries. This is a good place for "treasure hunting".

"He never knew other people could come in?" Ron said, his voice echoing in the silence.

"He thought he was the only one who could get in," Harry continued, "but he didn't know how familiar this place was to us. He deserved his misfortune."

Ada looked at the mountains and seas of old things in front of her, and she made a mistake similar to Voldemort's.

Voldemort didn't know that anyone could find this place. She thought that Voldemort didn't know about this place, so she subconsciously skipped the Room of Requirement.

A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks a lot. Everyone is negligent sometimes.

Voldemort's pride caused him to ignore the magic of the house elves and exposed his secret to Regulus, causing the Horcrux to be stolen; Ada's negligence caused her to ignore the Room of Requirement and almost missed the crown. Fortunately, it didn't lead to bitter consequences.

The room transformed by the Room of Requirement this time was very large, and there were a lot of old things piled up. The six people spread out and searched for each other. After they separated, they heard the sound of Hermione using the Flying Charm.

Of course, the crown will not fly to Hermione. In order to prevent someone from using the Flying Curse to steal it, interception spells and other breaking spells came into being. Otherwise, Ada would already be rich without waiting to recognize her ancestors.

Passing through a passage filled with garbage, Ada also began to search carefully, trying to find the crown hidden here. But what appeared in front of Ada was either damaged furniture, shabby books thrown here, or prohibited items thrown here by students for thousands of years.

Several pieces of furniture looked very familiar to Ada. Winnie, the house elf, must have moved them from the Shrieking Shack and left them here.

Walking deeper and deeper into the maze of old things, Ada's footsteps echoed among the garbage piles, bottles, hats, boxes, chairs, books, weapons, brooms, bats...

Finally, Harry's cry echoed through the Room of Requirement: "Here it is! I found it! The diadem is up there!"

The room soon resounded with the sound of hurried footsteps, and the people who were looking for Horcruxes stood beside Harry again, looking in the direction of his finger.

It was an old cabinet with a blistered surface, and a bust of a wizard covered in pits stood on the top of the cabinet. On its head was a dusty old hairband, and something like an ancient faded crown.

Ada raised her wand, and a thin golden ribbon sprouted from the tip. The ribbons were wrapped around the crown, carrying it back to Ada.

"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind." The bottom edge of the crown is engraved with Ravenclaw's famous motto.

Yes, this old crown-like thing is the lost crown of Ravenclaw. It is exactly the same as what Ada saw in her memory, but with many traces of time added.

"We found Ravenclaw's diadem. As long as it is destroyed, Voldemort will have one less Horcrux!" Harry said, looking very excited.

So did everyone else, Ron and Hermione's faces lit up with smiles, and Sirius and Ron high-fived each other in celebration. Everyone is one step closer to turning Voldemort back into a mortal body and defeating him.

Ada turned her hand and handed the crown to Harry. He had found it and left it to him to keep and destroy it.

But when Harry reached out to take the crown, his hands suddenly retracted as if they had touched a hot pot.

Ada looked at Harry suspiciously, she couldn't understand Harry's situation. The crown was in Ada's own hand, and it wasn't hot at all. Why did Harry react like that just now?
