Chapter 467 The Cause of the Incident: Crown Peter Ron Harry

Principal's Office.

After spending most of the night, it was already past midnight.

However, neither Dumbledore nor Snape felt sleepy at the moment.

What happened tonight was too strange. If one could not sort out the clues, it would obviously be impossible for one to sleep peacefully.

"Severus..."

Dumbledore walked around the office twice quickly, then suddenly turned around and looked at Snape, and asked in a deep voice: "When you rescued Peter, you didn't reveal any flaws, did you?"

Snape was too lazy to answer this question.

"Peter came for Potter! The Dark Lord may have discovered something, so he wanted to confirm it on Potter."

Snape said lightly: "He probably doesn't want me to know."

Dumbledore walked to the window, leaned on the windowsill with both hands, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and murmured: "Yes... yes..."

Dumbledore also thought of this problem.

After carefully recalling what happened in the past two years, Dumbledore suddenly remembered something.

The crown of Ravenclaw!

This Horcrux once fell into Ron's hands, and Peter Pettigrew had been Ron's mouse before.

Harry and Ron were best friends.

If these events were linked together...

No matter how reluctant he was to admit it, Dumbledore had to prepare for the worst - Peter Pettigrew might have discovered some secrets during the Coronet incident.

He reported this secret to Voldemort!

If Voldemort had any secrets that he didn't want Snape to know, it must be the secret of the Horcrux.

Because Voldemort would not share eternal life with anyone.

So Voldemort could only let Peter Pettigrew sneak into Hogwarts to check on Harry's situation.

Miscalculated!

Dumbledore was in a heavy mood. If Voldemort discovered Harry's secret, then Harry would be in real danger.

"What do you think of?" Snape asked in a deep voice.

Regarding Harry, Snape had to be cautious.

Dumbledore turned back and looked at Snape, "Severus, you must contact Voldemort as soon as possible and ask him about this matter."

"I know!"

Snape asked impatiently: "Dumbledore, what does the Dark Lord want to find in Potter?"

Dumbledore turned his head and continued to look out the window, waving his hand tiredly. After a moment of silence, he said: "Maybe Voldemort will give us an answer."

Snape was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

He thought Dumbledore had guessed Voldemort's purpose, but just didn't want to tell him.

But Snape knew Dumbledore very well, and no one could make him speak about what Dumbledore didn't want to say.

Snape looked at Dumbledore's back and suddenly said lightly: "You said you would protect the child's safety."

"Yes!" Dumbledore said calmly.

There was silence in the office for a while.

Snape didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left quickly.

It doesn't matter if Dumbledore doesn't want to say it. Snape thinks that Andy may have guessed Voldemort's purpose.

And Andy can't keep a secret at all.

After Snape left, Dumbledore sat in a chair exhausted, closing his eyes and thinking.

The crown...

Dumbledore carefully recalled the cause and effect of the crown incident.

This Horcrux originally fell into the hands of Percy Weasley. Voldemort's residual soul came into contact with the outside world and learned the reason for the failure of the main soul-Harry Potter.

Ron is Percy's younger brother.

With the help of this relationship, Voldemort's residual soul took the opportunity to control Ron, and used Ron's identity to contact Harry, trying to find out Harry's secret.

What is so special about this boy?

The more Dumbledore recalled, the more he found that there were many unreasonable things hidden in the crown incident.

For example: Voldemort's residual soul needs to absorb vitality to restore strength. Since he controlled Ron, why didn't he kill Ron's mouse?

Voldemort would not keep a mouse as a pet.

And... during that time, although Dumbledore had laid a net, there were so many young wizards in Hogwarts, and if Voldemort's soul was more cautious, it might have a chance to escape.

However, the Horcrux only tried once.

Or, Voldemort's soul didn't want to leave Hogwarts so soon.

He discovered the abnormality of Scabbers.

He also discovered Harry's purpose.

Is this possible?

Dumbledore pondered secretly...

The soul in the Horcrux wants to be resurrected, which is everyone's view on Horcruxes.

But the crown is different from the diary!

When making the Horcrux of the crown, Voldemort's research on Horcruxes was already very mature - if he set some restrictions, the soul in the crown might not want to replace the main soul.

In contrast, it might be more reasonable to find out the secrets of Harry, the nemesis, and restore the main soul's strength.

Dumbledore opened the drawer and took out three broken Horcruxes: the diary, the crown, and the gold ring.

Voldemort may be cruel and inhumane, but no one can deny his talent.

The first Horcrux may have some omissions, but the following Horcruxes... Voldemort will never give those residual souls too much freedom.

"Tom... what would you do?" Dumbledore murmured to himself.

Tonight... No! It should be last night. Peter Pettigrew had a chance to kill Harry, but he didn't do it.

It can be seen that Voldemort still covets the power in Harry - he wants to know what the power that can rebound the killing curse is.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore suddenly had an idea.

Mind and magic can be integrated.

The protective magic on Harry's body is a fusion of Lily's love for Harry - Lily's love and Harry's magic are integrated into Harry's blood.

If Voldemort gets this power...

Maybe... Harry can use it to influence Voldemort's power.

...

One night passed.

Andy was awakened by a loud noise.

Sticking his head out of the tent, Andy temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​'destroying the world', looked at Hermione and asked: "What time is it?"

"Six thirty!" Hermione smiled at Andy.

Andy: "..."

"Professor McGonagall just came. She said that the hall will be cleaned up at 7 o'clock. You can sleep for another half an hour."

At this point, Hermione suddenly teased, "By the way, George and Fred are making a bet with others. They guess who will be the last to get up."

"Anthony and Michael both bet on you."

Andy: "..."

"I'm going to kill them!" Andy said expressionlessly.

Hermione tilted her head and looked at Andy, "Do you want to get up?"

Andy thought about it.

After hesitating for a while between 'social death' and 'sleeping for another half an hour', he finally struggled to crawl out of the tent.
