Chapter 616: Exchange of information, the symbol of Gellert Grindelwald
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
A few minutes later, Harry and the three entered Gandalf's tent.
Just as Gandalf said, this tent is fully equipped, spacious, clean and tidy, and has abundant supplies. In comparison, the place they live in these days is simply a slum, and they have no meal at all.
"Low-key luxury has connotation." 'Gandalf' took a puff of his cigarette contentedly. "After all, I'm getting older. I usually don't feel bad about myself when I go out."
"This is so...enjoyable." Ron was envious.
"As soon as I heard this, I knew you never enjoyed it."
puff!
Ron felt like he was being stabbed in the chest, but was speechless.
It's true that he didn't enjoy it much, but you can't blame him. The Weasley family is notoriously poor.
"I live in room one. Don't come to me if you have nothing important to do." 'Gandalf' pointed to the nearest bedroom and then pointed to the room with the number two on the opposite side. "Miss Granger, you live in room two." Room No. [-] has a separate bathroom and hundreds of storybooks for entertainment, which is more suitable for you."
"Thank you." Hermione said sheepishly.
"As for you two..." 'Gandalf' looked at Harry and Ron, his tone less cordial, "You live in the innermost room No. [-]. There is a magic circle set up there, so you can hear the sounds outside more clearly. Sound, convenient for warning.”
"This is a bit of a different treatment." Ron's mouth twitched slightly, "It doesn't matter if two people sleep in the same room, they still have to be responsible for vigilance."
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing."
"Okay, put your things in, and then gather in the lobby. We need to exchange information."
"Mr. Gandalf, do you have any information?" Harry asked eagerly.
All he knew now was that he wanted to find Horcruxes. This mission sounded very clear, but in fact it was completely blind. He had been holding it in for a long time and could only think of the place name Godric's Hollow.
If Gandalf had any other clues, it would mean more to him than anything else.
"I'll tell you after I've tidied up the room." 'Gandalf' said this and walked slowly towards the hall.
"You're too impatient, Harry." Hermione teased with a smile, then turned and walked towards her room.
"Can I not be in a hurry?" Harry muttered.
"Just be patient a little longer." Ron sighed and patted Harry on the shoulder, then walked past him with his luggage bag.
......
Ten minutes later, the three of them walked out of the room one after another and walked on the fluffy carpet to the hall.
'Gandalf' was sitting on a sofa. There was a stove on the table in front of him. The charcoal fire was blazing inside, and a copper kettle was clattering on the stove.
"Sit down wherever you like!" 'Gandalf' glanced at the copper kettle, and the hot water inside flew out automatically and fell into four teacups.
The three of them looked at each other and sat across from 'Gandalf'.
"Sir." Harry asked excitedly but anxiously, "What do you know?"
"That depends on what you want to know." 'Gandalf' smiled enigmatically and said half-seriously: "Although I failed to destroy Slytherin's locket, I also have the method and the locket. Communication of soul fragments from the mysterious man in the box.”
"What?" Some terrible memories suddenly appeared in Ron's mind. "You mean that the locket can confuse people just like the diary?"
"Confusing people's hearts?" 'Gandalf' waved his hand, "That's just the basic operation of the Horcrux. Its real purpose is to kill me.
But it underestimated my ability and failed. "
Ron shrank his neck, "Well... Harry, I suddenly feel that it's not necessarily a bad thing that we didn't find the locket."
Harry was noncommittal and asked curiously: "What happened?"
"The locket conjured up all the powerful enemies I had encountered before, trying to devour my heart when I was scared or nervous. Maybe the heart could nourish the fragments of its soul!"
"Is it so dangerous?" Hermione looked worried, "Then Aaron..."
"Don't worry, Gaius's willpower is on par with mine." 'Gandalf' told the truth calmly, "If it were the main soul of the mysterious man, he might be a little afraid of it, but if it's just a fragment of the soul...he It would be kind and kind if you don’t cripple it.”
"It seems that it is really possible." Harry said with a relaxed smile, "Fu...ahem! The mysterious man's main soul has been unable to do anything to him several times, let alone a soul fragment."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "Then did you get any clues from communicating with it?"
"I successfully figured out what the mysterious man's last Horcrux was."
Hearing this, Harry was overjoyed, excitement almost written on his face.
He and Dumbledore only analyzed five Horcruxes, a diary, a ring, a locket, a gold cup, and Nagini. As for the sixth one, they only speculated that it could be a relic from Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.
But Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw are both famous magicians, and their relics are definitely a lot. If you don’t know what they are, think about it. It would be extremely difficult to find the real Horcrux among them.
"What is it?" Harry asked immediately.
"Crown, the crown of Rowena Ravenclaw." 'Gandalf' said lightly, "Intelligence and talent are the greatest wealth of mankind. That crown can enhance people's wisdom. It is the crown of Rowena Ravenclaw." The most precious treasure ever created.
I have to congratulate you three Gryffindors. The relics of three of the four founders of Hogwarts were contaminated by evil spirits, but Gryffindor managed to escape. "
"I don't think this is anything to congratulate." Ron pursed his lips angrily, "Where is the Ravenclaw diadem?"
"do not know."
"Waltfa..." Ron's eyes widened in shock. How dare he only get a Horcrux name?
That was no different from what they were looking for now, looking for Horcruxes but not knowing where they were heading.
"Ron." Harry sighed softly, "This is already a big help."
"Right, one more thing.
If the soul fragments in Slytherin's locket didn't deceive me, the main soul of the mysterious man might notice it if more than half of the Horcruxes were destroyed. "
"We wanted to destroy half of it, but now it's only a third." Harry said bitterly.
"This has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the locket was found.
My suggestion is to find as many Horcruxes as possible and then destroy them together. "
The three of them exchanged glances, but none of them had any objections.
On the one hand, this can catch Voldemort off guard, and on the other hand, it is also for their safety. If Voldemort knew that someone was digging for his foundation, he would go crazy.
"Any other clues?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, Aaron showed me Dumbledore's plan."
"But you can't tell us, right!" Harry looked at 'Gandalf', hoping to see a hint of surprise on his face, but the other party remained calm, as if he had known he would say this.
"There's a reason for that."
"What reason? What reason did you tell me?" Harry asked, suppressing his anger.
Aaron, Lupin, and Gandalf all knew about Dumbledore's plan, but the main executor of his plan was kept in the dark. There is nothing more ridiculous than this.
"You should know better." 'Gandalf' said meaningfully, "You seem to have never cut off the connection between you and the mysterious man."
Harry's face twitched and he fidgeted like a deflated ball.
"I did that to facilitate my understanding of the mysterious man's movements."
"I believe this." 'Gandalf' picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly, "But you can't guarantee that the mysterious man won't give you wrong inducements, and you can't guarantee that he won't pry into your thoughts in turn.
You have already suffered a big loss and lost your only relative. Doesn't this allow you to learn a lesson? "
"I..." Harry was speechless. After a few seconds of silence, he stubbornly said, "He seems to be unable to read my thoughts."
As long as he doesn't believe what he sees in his mind and isn't deceived by Voldemort, then it shouldn't matter if he knows Dumbledore's plan!
What's more important is that he really needs a definite direction now instead of just running around like a headless fly.
Hermione tugged on his arm, "Stop talking nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Harry said seriously, "If he could read my mind, we would have been caught long ago and there would be no way we could have escaped until now."
"It makes some sense." 'Gandalf' nodded slightly, "But are you sure you want to take a gamble?
Reading your thoughts may be difficult, but it may not be impossible for him. Once you lose the bet, Dumbledore's plan will be completely ruined. What should you do then? "
Hearing this, Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Planning is important, but ensuring that the plan does not fail seems even more important.
"Wait a minute." Ron suddenly interrupted, "You can tell us Dumbledore's plan!
We don’t tell Harry, but we can tell him what to do and what not to do, and guide the smooth completion of the plan. "
"Haha! What do you think I'm here for?"
Ron was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
It seemed that he was too brave. He actually wanted to steal Gandalf's job, and he did so in front of him.
"Harry Potter, I can tell you very clearly that there is no specific location of the Horcrux in Dumbledore's remaining plans.
His plan is for you to find and destroy at least five Horcruxes, which will be a counterpoint to Fu Di..."
"Don't say his name." Ron interrupted nervously.
'Gandalf' ignored it this time and continued: "This will be the final fatal blow to Voldemort.
But before that, Dumbledore placed his hope on you, the son of prophecy. He believed that you could find and destroy enough Horcruxes, and only in this way could his plan proceed smoothly. "
Hearing this, Harry fell silent, and his expression calmed down after a long time.
"That's all I can say, so what have you gained these days?"
The three of them looked at each other and turned their eyes in other directions in embarrassment.
"Okay! Your expressions tell me the answer." 'Gandalf' sighed slightly, "You don't have to feel embarrassed, I didn't have any expectations."
"In addition to Godric's Hollow, we have been studying the legacy left by Dumbledore." Hermione forcibly redeemed herself. "What he gave me was "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". I have already read it from this book." Found some clues."
"Beautiful." 'Gandalf' gave her an appreciative look, "What did you find?"
Hermione took out the story collection from her bag and opened one of the pages. In addition to the original content, there was a simple pattern on it.
It's a triangle with a circle inside and a thin line in the middle.
"At first I thought it was an eye, but then I realized it wasn't.
Ink marks are not printed on the book, but drawn on.
This is not a rune, and I can't find it in the phonetic table. This symbol may be a clue. "
'Gandalf's' pupils shrank. He recognized this symbol. It was once considered the symbol of Gellert Grindelwald. Even now, quite a few people in the wizarding world know it.
"I seem to have seen this pattern somewhere." Harry murmured, "Luna, Luna once wore this symbol."
"Mr. Gandalf, do you know it?" Hermione asked.
"Well... I know something. This pattern is Grindelwald's symbol."
"Grindelwald?" Ron was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously: "Is he the Gellert Grindelwald I know?"
'Gandalf' nodded, "Grindelwald was a dark wizard of the same era as Dumbledore. After being defeated by Dumbledore, he was imprisoned in Nurmengard Prison. There are rumors that he has died."
"That means he might still be alive, right?" Harry asked, showing a bit of eagerness to try.
"What? Do you want to go find him?" 'Gandalf' looked at him with a half-smile, "If you want to die, you can go. I don't know how powerful the mysterious man is, but he will not be Glindel in his heyday. Waugh's opponent.
The mysterious man only occupies the British magical world now, but once there is a problem in Nurmengard, the international magical world will be in chaos, so no one dares to go to that prison. "
Harry: …
"Besides Grindelwald, there must be someone else who knows the meaning of this symbol, right?" Hermione asked in time, easing the awkward atmosphere in the air.
"Of course, and there are many people who know about it, but they don't include me."
"Christmas!" Harry said with some disappointment, "I hope Luna will go home for Christmas, and we can ask her then."
"You can also go directly to Lovegood's house. Luna's father must know this mark." 'Gandalf' suggested.
"We will go, but before that we have to go to Godric's Hollow." Harry said. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and pulled out a Golden Snitch from his pocket. "Sir, can you help me look at it?" see?
This is a relic left by Dumbledore to me, but I don't know what information is hidden in it. "
Just as Gandalf said, this tent is fully equipped, spacious, clean and tidy, and has abundant supplies. In comparison, the place they live in these days is simply a slum, and they have no meal at all.
