Chapter 186 Horcrux Meeting

Sebastian stuffed the notebook into his seamless stretch bag, stretched, yawned loudly, then returned to bed and quickly fell asleep.

On Sunday morning, when the early morning sun shone through the curtains into the room, he had already packed up and was ready to leave Hogwarts.

He first returned to Swan Manor through the fireplace and had a delicious breakfast, then set off again to today's destination.

After a dizzy moment of apparition, Sebastian appeared in a deserted valley.

This valley is located deep in the Scottish Highlands, surrounded by steep mountain walls. The terrain is complex and dangerous and it is almost isolated from the world.

The valley is shrouded in a thin layer of mist all year round. When the sun shines through, the mist seems to be coated with a layer of gold, making it look peaceful and mysterious.

In the center of the valley stands a small wooden house.

The exterior of the wooden house is very simple, and its gray-brown wooden walls blend in with the surrounding natural environment, making it almost invisible.

There is a stream flowing slowly in front of the door. The sound of gurgling water and birds singing interweave together, adding a bit of vitality to this hidden place.

This seemingly ordinary cottage is actually a safe house carefully arranged by Sebastian.

In order to protect the existence of this safe house, Sebastian invited Regulus to be the secret keeper and protected the house with the powerful Fidelius Charm.

This way, no one except Sebastian and Regulus could find the exact location of the cabin.

Even if someone happened to pass by, they would be confused by the spell and mistakenly think that this was just an ordinary forest clearing.

Sebastian pushed open the wooden door, and a stale smell filled the air.

Because the cabin has been uninhabited for a long time, the air inside has become a little polluted.

He frowned, waved his wand casually, and whispered: "Whirlwind sweeps away!"

In an instant, a fresh breeze flowed through the house, dispelling all the musty smell and dust.

Looking around, the interior of the house was very simple, almost empty.

In the middle of the empty room, three top-level alchemical safes were quietly placed, and apart from them there was no other extra furniture.

Sebastian walked over and checked the contents of the three safes.

Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, and Salazar Slytherin's locket.

These are all Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Compared to old laptops, they don't seem that honest.

Every time he picked up a Horcrux, they began to make tempting invitations to Sebastian.

"Wear me and I will share with you the secret of eternal life."

"Do not leave me here, my friend, I will share more magical knowledge with you."

"You are such a fool. You will regret ignoring my invitation."

Ignoring the words of the Horcruxes, after checking that everything was correct, Sebastian closed the door of the safe again, isolating it from all magical auras.

"An old-fashioned saying, nothing new at all!"

"Now it seems that the notebook is indeed the most special and the wisest."

"Unlike these three, who are just talking nonsense."

Sebastian couldn't help but complain.

"Just stay here, I still need to deal with your notebook brother."

Then he took out the fourth alchemical safe from the Traceless Extension Bag and placed it next to the three safes.

Then he took out the old notebook and weighed it gently in his hand.

Without any hesitation, Sebastian put it directly into the fourth alchemical safe and locked it.

"The fourth Horcrux has been collected."

"Young Voldemort, you will suffer here slowly."

Sebastian counted in his head.

The remaining Horcruxes are not easy to deal with.

Helga Hufflepuff's gold cup is still in Gringotts, awaiting the right opportunity.

The small piece of soul in Harry's body is harmless for the time being, but it is rather troublesome to take it out, so it is better to leave it on Harry for now.

As for Nagini, she is still wandering in the forests of Albania and has not yet become Voldemort's Horcrux. We will have to wait until Voldemort is resurrected.

After packing everything up, Sebastian bowed gently to the four safes.

"Goodbye, my Lords of the Dark Lords."

"Enjoy this free time."

After saying that, he left the cabin and closed the door completely.

Sebastian, in a good mood, stood in front of the cabin and took a deep breath.

The alarm in the school was completely lifted. Without the notebook causing trouble, the basilisk would never come out to harm the students again.

From today on, he no longer had to sleep in Hogwarts, but could go home with Mia.

However, the secret room and the basilisk still need to be dealt with.

After all, the big talk has been made, and the students in the Auror training class are also busy investigating. It would be too embarrassing if there were no results.

So far, various clues have appeared almost completely, and it is time for students to deduce what the monster in the secret room is.

Sebastian admired the surrounding scenery, then returned to Swann Manor using the Apparition spell.

It’s still early, so take a good nap.

........................

After a day's rest, Sebastian returned to the Auror training class full of energy.

After completing today's training, Sebastian stood on the podium and asked with a smile.

"It's been so long. What progress have you made in investigating the secret room?"

After hearing this, the students' eyes lit up and they began to report their own investigation results.

Sebastian listened carefully and then made a summary.

"That is to say, on Halloween, more than 20 students were either late or left early, or did not attend the dinner."

"Yes, professor," a seventh-year student said with embarrassment.

"We have discussed this privately, but we still can't tell who among them is the successor to the Chamber of Secrets. There are too few clues."

"It's okay, you guys did great," Sebastian soothed gently.

"As I've said before, there's a good chance we won't find out anything."

"But you have developed the ability to gather information and process it."

The young wizards nodded in approval.

Gathering information is not an easy task. On the one hand, they have to be careful about how they chat so as not to alert others.

On the other hand, the students’ descriptions were all messy, and they had to repeatedly compare and verify based on the words of different students in order to extract truly useful and correct information from a large amount of redundant data.

It has taken a lot of effort to achieve today's result.

"What other clues about the secret room have you discovered?" Sebastian asked with a smile.

The young wizards looked at each other in bewilderment; there were very few clues about the secret room.

They didn't gain anything special.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Harry hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand firmly.

"Professor Swan, I found a special clue about the Chamber of Secrets."
