Chapter 353 The truth is revealed, the whole story
Hogwarts during the holidays.
Even though many students chose to go to Hogsmeade, the castle still seemed extremely lively.
…
Gryffindor common room.
With a flash of orange-red light, Hermione's figure appeared out of thin air.
"Merlin's beard!" Ron exclaimed from the corner of the lounge.
But after he clearly saw the sudden appearance of the figure, he unconsciously murmured:
"We're not even married yet, so the phoenix becomes hers?"
Ron's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either. His subconscious words made many girls in the lounge snort in dissatisfaction.
As the protagonist of the incident, Hermione had no time to pay attention to this. After confirming that she was in Hogwarts, her first thought was to find someone for help.
Without any delay, Hermione decisively walked out of the common room with Curribe in her arms.
…
Corridor on the eighth floor.
Standing in front of the Fat Lady's portrait, Hermione was hesitant for a moment. Time was urgent and she wasn't sure who to go to.
Before walking out of the lounge, she had intended to find Dumbledore. But then I thought about the news from the Daily Prophet this morning. The principal should be still in the International Federation of Wizards at this time.
After a few seconds.
The hesitation in Hermione's eyes disappeared and turned into a look of determination.
"Cribo, send me to the underground corridor of the castle."
…
at the same time.
The Slytherins who were underground in the castle suddenly discovered something strange. A year ago, the Gryffindor girl who broke in alone, today she is here again...
But unlike last time, many people spontaneously gave way to the crowd today.
Not to mention yesterday's dance, just the phoenix in the other person's arms already explained a lot of problems.
Many people may not know Dumbledore's phoenix, but the orange and red Coribus is familiar to many Slytherins. After all, with the popularity of film and television mirrors, the grand occasion of the Quidditch World Cup has also been treasured and preserved.
Hermione came to the castle underground again, and after a short period of adaptation, she walked towards the Potions office.
As for Coribo, she held her tightly from beginning to end, with no intention of letting go.
…
In the castle, Hermione knocked on Snape's office door.
Far away in the hut in Hogsmeade, Voldemort also made his request.
"...In all the incompleteness, I see the completeness. So, do you still have your dice?"
Suddenly hearing the dice, Ino was stunned for a moment, but after a brief thought, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes.
The source of the problem was found.
It was obvious that in the summer of his first year, in order to avoid being alone with Voldemort, he had held the dice to save his life.
"The stuff is still there!" After thinking about it, Ino took out the dice from the inner lining.
In today's situation, Voldemort made it clear that he was well prepared. If there was no result, there would be a second or third time to save the situation.
Ino took out the dice and placed them flat in the palm of his hand, while Voldemort's looked a little excited.
The scarlet eyes became brighter and brighter. A pair of eyes were like two red magic lamps, staring at the dice in Ino's hand.
"Yes! That's it...I knew that there must be complete rules behind the completeness, hahahahaha..."
Sitting on the sofa, Voldemort suddenly laughed out loud.
There was relief and sigh in the laughter, but most of it was fulfillment.
…
moment.
The laughter gradually subsided, and Voldemort no longer stared at the dice. He slowly raised his head and put on a softer expression.
"Then! If you can, please give me the dice generously. Galleons, gold, potions, or other things, you can ask for whatever you want."
After listening to Voldemort's suggestion, Ino shook his head decisively:
"I'm sorry, but I haven't found anything more precious so far."
To be honest, if Voldemort wanted the divination sieve, it would still be possible to exchange it if the conditions were right.
But the one in his hand is not only used to save his life, but also a coordinate leading to the world where Mr. Hans lives, and an opportunity for him to be the protagonist of the story again.
For such a thing, even if you take out the intact magic stone, you may not be qualified to exchange it.
And the other side.
After Voldemort heard that his proposal was decisively rejected, he did not show anger. Instead, he spoke again unhurriedly:
"Aren't you willing? Forget it. Transactions are always based on mutual consent, not so-called coercion."
"However, I hope you can take me to the place where I found it. Moreover, the promise just made is still valid, and the conditions are still up to you. I think I won't be rejected this time!"
Voldemort's voice was cadenced, and so far, even if he was rejected, he still adhered to etiquette.
To be honest, for a moment, Ino really wanted to compromise. He didn't want to mess with Voldemort in such a state.
But in fact, Voldemort's two suggestions seemed easy, but were actually very difficult.
Take it to where the dice were found? If all the Horcruxes are collected, Ino really doesn't mind bringing Voldemort into the shelter and killing him again according to the rules.
But obviously, including Harry, there are only six in hand now.
Over the years since he came to the wizarding world, he is no longer alone in a bridge, whether it is Hermione, Draco, Snape, or other friends...
He couldn't afford to gamble, and he was even less willing to gamble.
Because there is no benefit to this, except for forming a deadly feud with the rational Voldemort, there is no use at all.
…
Facing Voldemort's proposal, Ino experienced for the first time what it was like to be in a dilemma.
On the other side, when Voldemort saw that Ino was lost in thought, he did not rush to urge her. Instead, he leisurely opened the paper bag on the side.
I took out the candy I just bought and ate it slowly.
Time passes minute by minute.
When Voldemort picked up the third piece of candy, Ino slowly spoke:
"If you don't mind, senior, please wait for me here for a moment."
After saying that, he disappeared completely.
…
The moment Ino disappeared, Voldemort, who had been leisurely, suddenly sat upright.
The smile that had been on his face since he entered the door disappeared at this moment. His face was no longer as relaxed and relaxed as before, but instead turned into a look of solemn thinking.
His scarlet eyes were half-closed, looking at everything around him carefully.
A long while.
Ino appeared on the sofa again, and rhythmic applause erupted in the room.
"Amazing! It's amazing! Your excellence is beyond my expectation!"
Voldemort applauded and expressed his amazement.
Unlike the finished props of the Ministry of Magic, no one knows better than him how strong the restraint of the ban on disembodiment arranged by Voldemort is.
Even if Dumbledore comes in person, he still has to sit here honestly. If he wants to leave this room, the only way is to walk out on his legs.
Faced with Voldemort's praise, Ino did not respond. Instead, he took out a few things from his pocket and placed them on the coffee table in front of him.
Three gems, and another wooden-sided die.
Different from the previous polyhedral irregular sieve, the current dice is a standard hexahedron with the numbers 1-6 clearly engraved on it.
…
After placing everything, Ino looked at Voldemort with a smile.
In fact, whether it was the divination dice or a few scattered gems, they were originally in his pocket.
But rather than taking it out of your pocket directly, returning to the shelter in front of Voldemort is the most correct thing to do.
Magic can restrict the phoenix, the house elves, and even the blue lights, but it cannot restrict the special nature of the sanctuary.
Show it off lightly, and the effect is pretty good.
In comparison, compared to Voldemort's determined expression since he entered the door, Ino liked the other person's current expression more, which was confused and dignified.
"With all due respect, I still can't satisfy the senior's request. I can't go to that place. However, there are a few things here that can be exchanged."
