The Deep Sea Wizard of Hogwarts - Chapter 144

“I need a room to hide my stuff” ×3
Linde stood alone in front of the tapestry of the giant beating Barnabas with a stick, pacing back and forth, while Andersen was far away. In order to prevent his thoughts from interfering with the choice of the Room of Requirement.
A large copper handle appeared on the wall, and Linde pulled it at first, but it didn’t open. Then he pushed it in.
The difference between the doors that appear in the Room of Requirement each time is not only the handle, but also the shape of the door, the design style, the inside and outside opening, etc.
Once you push it in, you will see a towering ceiling, about four or five stories high. As for the scope, because there are many piles of various miscellaneous garbage inside, Linde can’t see how big it is at once.
But from what he saw, it should be the same as the one in the movie version of the previous life, spacious enough to fly on a magic broom for a long time.
“By the way, what is that eyeball you spit out?” Linde stepped in and closed the door behind him.
“It’s an eyeball!” Andersen replied.
“I know it’s an eyeball, what I’m asking is what it is…”
“It’s an eyeball! It’s just an eyeball!” Andersen tilted his head and looked at Linde’s dark face.
“What I’m asking is…what’s its use, is there anything special about it?” Linde looked at Andersen with a dark face.
“Ah this,” Andersen realized what Linde wanted to ask about, “I feel like it’s my ‘new skin'”
‘New skin’?
“Are you sure? Try it on?”
Andersen shook his head, “I can’t do it yet. It seems that it will take some time to nurture.”
“Yeah.”
Linde nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
“Then what are we doing here?” Andersen saw Linde standing at the door in a daze and couldn’t help asking.
“Looking for something.” Linde recalled the memory deep in his mind, “Looking for a bust.”
“A bust?” Andersen was a little confused.
“Well, let’s look for it separately first, and call me when you find it.” Linde nodded.
As he said that, Linde looked at the huge hiding room, “Try to find it tonight.”
Andersen also saw the huge workload, and he squeaked helplessly, and immediately flew up to start working.
Linde’s footsteps were not slow, and he began to search through the garbage mountains quickly.
Bottles, hats, boxes, chairs, books, weapons, brooms, bats…Sweeping Seven Stars – Damn, it looks better than those in the flying class last year.
Thinking about it, Linde opened a cabinet, and a fox flew out. They are equivalent to cockroaches and mice in the wizarding world, dirty and smelly, and difficult to kill.
The magic department is classified as “XXX”, also known as biting fairies. They have thin wings like insects, human-like bodies and long tails…
Since Linde came to the magic world, he has opened his eyes. The “goblins” defined as mice in the magic world and the “foxes” defined as cockroaches in the magic world are both typical sub-human species.
Especially…goblins can talk.
Fortunately, Lind knew that this vixen was dirty and smelly, so he didn’t crush her to death, but blew her away.
Lind continued to search, and this matter was indeed much more troublesome than he thought. He saw a gray stone sculpture buried in the garbage mountain, and then pulled it out with force. But he didn’t expect that he would collapse the entire garbage mountain, and his body was directly buried in a pile of garbage.
And when he finally broke free, he didn’t expect that the statue he pulled out was an extremely ugly goblin statue. He didn’t hold any crown in his hand.
In the end, he could only clean himself helplessly, and then continue to search…
“Fuck, “That boy is so handsome”, how can there be such a book. Are children in the past suffering from these things?” Lind scolded, and then opened the novel with yellow pages and tattered paper…
Of course, he just glanced at it out of curiosity. He didn’t waste time on it.
But he saw the essence of Hogwarts accumulated in this room for countless years. This room is really all-encompassing and all-inclusive. There was everything…
There were brooms that were newer than those in the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and there were also crucibles that were filled with shit or something, but they made an unacceptable sound.
During this period, Andersen called him twice, but he didn’t find the crown.
Finally, when it was almost three o’clock, after Andersen’s new shouting, Lind finally saw the statue he was looking for.
At this time, Andersen in front of Lind was covered with something, but he was emitting a sour smell. Lind used several cleanings but couldn’t completely remove his smell.
In front of them was a black, dirty, old wooden cabinet, and on the top of the cabinet, there was a half-length statue of a wizard covered with pockmarks. The stone statue wore an old gray wig and an old, faded crown-like thing.
Voldemort’s Horcrux contained his residual soul, which would naturally invade people who came into contact with the Horcrux. People who had long-term contact with it might even be directly controlled, similar to taking over someone else’s body.
According to Lind’s guess, the three people who came into contact with the locket in Deathly Hallows had negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability, and suspicion, not only because of the influence of the Horcrux, but also because they were warned by their subconscious.
Of course, this is just his guess. His understanding of Horcruxes is still somewhat limited, mostly from movies and novels in his previous life. Rather than the magic books of this world, Lind has no intention of touching taboo books in the short term.
Lind took it down with his bare hands, because he had the brain block, and as long as the contact time was not long, it should be fine.
Moreover, even if he did not have the brain block, Lind could not be sure whether the residual soul of Voldemort invading his brain was more dangerous…
“Clean it up!” The spell was cast, sweeping away the thick dust on the crown.
The crown was the same as the one Lind saw in the Ravenclaw lounge, all silver, about four inches in diameter, with a large blue gem in the square of the crown, which should be the size of a quail egg.
On it, there is also the famous saying,
“Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind.”
There is no doubt that this is the crown of Ravenclaw.
“Since the diadem is still here, who is behind this so-called Chamber of Secrets (cleaned up!)?”
Linde frowned and threw a cleansing spell at Andersen.
Forget it, since the diadem is still here. Then this so-called Chamber of Secrets should not be real, Linde felt relieved.
In fact, when he saw that Qiu Zhang only broke one leg, he felt that this should not be the work of the real Chamber of Secrets Basilisk.
But he was still a little worried, so he came here tonight to check if Ravenclaw’s diadem was still there.
Since Ravenclaw’s diadem is still there, it should be impossible for other Voldemort’s Horcruxes to appear in Hogwarts.
And to open the Chamber of Secrets, you need Parseltongue. Excluding Voldemort’s Horcruxes controlling people, it can only be Harry. But Harry will not drive the basilisk to hurt people.
Linde picked up the diadem and walked out of the house.
“It’s better to find an excuse to give this diadem to Dumbledore.”
