Chapter 226 224 Determine the location

The pattern in the smoke is in a very dark cave, and there is water flowing slowly in the cave.

As the screen slowly zoomed in, Feeney saw a dark, unremarkable crucible. At the same time, in the crucible, there was a very viscous, dark gray liquid.

The crucible and everything around it gave Feeney a very familiar feeling, as if he had been to that place before.

However, Feeney remembered clearly that he had never been to a place with such a crucible, so this sense of familiarity must be due to other reasons.

Feeney trusts his memory very much. Because of the system, his memory will not be modified or deleted by others. In other words, unless he forgets, his memory will never be wrong. He remembers that he has not If you have been there, you must have not been there.

This statement is of course correct and wrong, and Feeney's memory is also correct.

However, he ignored a very important issue. He did not know Occlumency or Legilimency. In other words, there was a possibility that he would forget certain things.

Human memory lasts forever. The so-called forgetting is just because the memory has not been used for a long time or is useless at all, so it has been discarded into the deep corners of the brain. Unless you master the art of Occlumency, Legilimency can control it. The magic of memory can retrieve this memory from that corner. Otherwise, it would be difficult to remember it, which is what is called forgetting.

In fact, the reality of the crystal ball feels familiar to Feeney because he has actually been there, but he has forgotten it.

After calming down, Finny naturally thought of this. His belief in his own memory made him a little arrogant for a while, ignoring that he was not a god, and he would also forget or not remember many things clearly. , just like those things in the past life, he would not have recalled it if it were not for the Mirror of Erised. The picture displayed in the crystal ball now is like this, a place that he has ignored or forgotten.

"Puff, do you remember where this place is?"

After Finny cast the magic on the crystal ball to make the prophecy image permanent, he asked Puff,

Because most of the time, he asked Puff to take him to other places. In other words, Puff did many things with him. Therefore, wherever he went, there was a high probability that Puff would also go. Pass,

Moreover, the contract in the blood of house elves allows them to immediately remember even a thing they have forgotten when asked by their master. Therefore, just by asking Puff, Feeny can confirm this place for him to go. Never been there,

Puff shook his head and said with some self-blame,

"I'm sorry, Master, Puff doesn't remember this place. Puff doesn't have it. It's all Puff's fault!"

If Finny hadn't allowed his house elves to punish themselves by mutilating themselves, Puff would have banged his head against the wall like other house elves at this time.

When Feeney heard Puff's answer, he sighed in frustration, waved to Puff, indicating that he didn't care about it, so that Puff would stop blaming himself, and then continued to think about the things he had ignored in his memory. ,

As mentioned before, Finny asked Puff to send him to other places most of the time, and the only few times he went to other places, and Puff was no longer there, can be counted. .

So, it would be good for Feeney to do the elimination method on himself at this time.

Addition is difficult, but subtraction is easy.

After entering Hogwarts, the first time I took the Hogwarts Express without Puff following me, however, that definitely had nothing to do with the crucible.

Then he was kidnapped by a vampire, and he went to the castle, where he resisted with other kidnapped wizards. In the end, he was the only one to escape.

In his memory, there was no crucible there, not even tableware. Some vampires later used the magic circle created by the castle to suck the blood of prisoners, as well as the one-time teleportation circle.

Then I went to a small town in the Soviet Union, where I bought owl popsicles and learned about the Animagus.

Naturally, this process will not encounter the dark, unremarkable and even disgusting crucible and the liquid in the picture.

So it won’t be that time,

Next is the Black family's castle, where he performed the blood sublimation ceremony. Because there were other house elves in the castle, after Puff sent him there, he asked Puff to do other things.

The Black family's castle is a place where such a crucible may exist, but he did not go to a place similar to a cave in the castle at that time, let alone a river in the cave.

After the start of last semester, he will send Puff to deal with the war with the Flint family, so the experiences during that time are all possible.

During that time, in order to avoid pressure from other families, he went to the place where Nico Flamel lived in seclusion and lived there for a few days.

Finny's eyes lit up when he thought of this memory. Different from his previous judgment, it is very possible that Nico, a master alchemist who has lived for five hundred years, collects a crucible that is valued by Hufflepuff, and It is also the most likely.

After returning from Nico, Finny and the twins went to find Gryffindor's treasure. At that time, Puff was waiting by the Black Lake and did not go into the Black Lake.

etc!

Finny suddenly realized something,

The secret room where Gryffindor's treasure is located is a cave. There is also a small lake in the cave that blocks access to the lake.

This fits perfectly with the background venue on the crystal ball.

So, why did he see that the cauldron was among Gryffindor's treasures?

Although this may be huge, Feeney still can't believe it because it is too ridiculous.

The key to Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets was placed in Gryffindor's Chamber of Secrets.

In other words, if you can't find Gryffindor's treasure, or you can't enter the Chamber of Secrets, you can't open Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets.

In this way, Hufflepuff set up the secret room to prevent others from entering. After all, not everyone is as keen as Finny to find the treasures of the four founders. Many people will not search if they find one of them. It’s the second one, and many people haven’t even found one.

And the most interesting part is that the clues to Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets are all on the surface, and you can find them as long as you can think of them.

However, Gryffindor's treasures are like this from time to time. The clues to his secret room are random and have not been discovered in his own travel notes for thousands of years. After all, even the little wizard of Gryffindor can't find it. No one would destroy the books in the Hogwarts library, except of course for the bold ones like the twins.

Therefore, Feeney now had to wonder why Hufflepuff set up the Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, at this moment, the most important thing for Feeney is not to think about this, but to determine whether his guess is correct.

It's easy to prove this by asking the Twins and Jordan.

Thinking of this, Feeney took the crystal ball and walked out of the Room of Requirement.

Today happens to be the time for the Gryffindor versus Hufflepuff Quidditch match, so if you want to find the twins and Jordan, you need to go to the Quidditch pitch or the Gryffindor team's players' lounge.

Feeney didn't choose either option because he really didn't like going to the Quidditch pitch. After all, it was very humid because of the recent rain.

Moreover, as a Slytherin, it was unreasonable for him to go to the Gryffindor grounds to wait for the Gryffindor players. He might as well have waited in the castle, waiting for them directly at the door of the Gryffindor common room. It's great to be back, not only don't you have to leave the castle, but you don't have to walk too far.

After all, the Room of Requirement was also in Gryffindor Tower, and the Gryffindor common room was on the top floor of the tower. Feeny only had to go up two floors.

The Quidditch match ended not long after Finny reached the Fat Lady's portrait at the door of the Gryffindor common room.

Even though Snape's role as referee put a lot of pressure on the Gryffindor players, especially for Harry, the Gryffindor team still defeated the Hufflepuff team and won the championship with Slater. I'm at a higher chance.

The twins, Harry, Wood, Angelina and other Gryffindor players arrived at the door of the Gryffindor common room surrounded by a group of Gryffindor wizards.

I saw Finny standing here waiting for the twins.

"Finny?"

Because of his good relationship with the twins and Jordan, and his poor relationship with most of the young wizards in Slytherin,

Many young wizards in Gryffindor are not opposed to Finny. Of course, their senses are not that good either.

Just like treating ordinary young wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, with a dispensable attitude,

Therefore, they were not surprised that Finny came here to wait for the twins.

Wood even asked,

"Are you coming to celebrate our victory? You know, as long as we win Ravenclaw in the next game, our score will surpass your college."

Feeney shook his head and said,

"I have something to do with George, Fred and Jordan,"

The twins were stunned, pointed to their brothers respectively, and asked in unison to Feeney,

"Finney, what are you doing with him?"

Feeney shrugged and said,

"We'll talk about this later. Where's Jordan?"

"Here it is! Here it is!"

A voice came from the back of the crowd. It turned out that because Jordan often included personal information when commentating on games, this guy was left alone by Professor McGonagall after the game to lecture him, and asked for the next game. If you are still commenting on the game with some private stuff, find another person.

For Jordan, this matter is still relatively difficult. He is the kind of person who talks a lot. It is better when he is with Feeney and the others. However, when he holds the microphone and explains the game, then Once you open your mouth, you can't stop.

Without special training, and being very talkative, he would naturally talk about some topics that interest him when commentating on the game. For example, if a player used a very good fake move, Jordan would explain the move excitedly, thus forgetting to comment. Contest,

For another example, if a Slytherin player commits a foul, Jordan will not constantly remind the referee, and these behaviors are not allowed by Professor McGonagall.

"Okay, do you plan to celebrate first and then go find me, or do you plan to come back and celebrate after we finish talking about things?"

Feeney asked after watching Jordan arrive,

The twins looked at each other and said together,

"Of course, let's talk about it first."

Jordan nodded in agreement,

So the four of them found an empty classroom and walked in and closed the door, leaving several little lions who wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation to look at each other, not knowing what to say.

They are Harry, Ron and Neville,

When Harry went to put his broomstick away after the game, he saw Snape walking out of the castle with a hood on and heading straight towards the Forbidden Forest.

He tried to track but because the trees in the Forbidden Forest were too dense, he couldn't find any trace of Snape in the air, so he returned to the castle.

When they saw Finny finding the twins and Jordan, they wanted to follow them and hear what they had to say. By the way, they wanted to talk about Snape.

Harry still didn't believe Finny's words that there was nothing wrong with Snape.

Stubbornness is also one of Gryffindor's characteristics.

Especially after he heard Snape threatening that Quirrell would tell him such words through a three-headed dog,

At this time in the classroom,

Jordan looked at Feeney doubtfully and asked,

"What's wrong, Feeney? If it wasn't something particularly important, you wouldn't come to us at this time."

The twins nodded in agreement and said nothing. They just looked at Feeney eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Feeney took out the crystal ball from his clothes and handed it to the three of them.

"Wow! Prophecy Crystal!"

(Wow! Golden Legend! I suddenly thought of this when I was writing it. You don’t need to complain, I will do it myself.)

"You have sight!"

George and Fred used ethereal voices to imitate Professor Trelawney from the divination class and said,

Feeney rolled his eyes and said,

"This is all a trivial matter. Look at the picture in this crystal ball. Does it look familiar to you? Do you still remember where it is?"

Jordan took the crystal ball and looked carefully at the portrait on it.

"Yeah, it looks familiar, but I just can't remember where I saw this thing before."

George took it and said,

"It seems like a place where we all go together,"

Fred said,

"Isn't this the place where Gryffindor's treasure is? I saw the cauldron at that time, but I didn't pay attention because it didn't look like a treasure."

"Hey, yes, yes, that's right there,"

After Fred's reminder, George and Jordan also thought about it and said,

Fred looked at Feeney excitedly and asked,

"What's wrong? Feeney, is this a treasure? Is it worth anything?"
