Chapter 616: Exchange of information, the symbol of Gellert Grindelwald
A few minutes later, Harry and the other two entered Gandalf's tent.
As Gandalf said, this tent was fully equipped, spacious, clean and tidy, and rich in supplies. In contrast, the place where they lived these days was simply a slum, and they had no food to eat.
"Low-key luxury with connotation" 'Gandalf' sipped his cigarette comfortably, "After all, I am old, and I usually don't wrong myself when I go out."
"This is too...enjoyable." Ron envied and hated.
"When I heard this, I knew you had never enjoyed it."
Puff!
Ron felt like he was stabbed in the chest, but he was speechless.
He really didn't enjoy it much, but it couldn't be blamed on him. The Weasley family was famous for being poor.
"I live in Room 1. Don't look for me unless it's important." 'Gandalf' pointed to the nearest bedroom and said, then he pointed to the room opposite marked with number 2, "Miss Granger, you live in Room 2. It has an independent bathroom and hundreds of story books for entertainment. It's more suitable for you."
"Thank you." Hermione said a little embarrassed.
"As for the two of you..." 'Gandalf' looked at Harry and Ron, his tone less friendly, "Live in the innermost Room 3. There is a magic circle set up there, so you can hear the outside sounds more clearly and be more convenient for vigilance."
"This is a bit of a difference in treatment." Ron's mouth twitched slightly, "It's okay for two people to sleep in one room, but they also have to be responsible for vigilance."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
"Okay, put your things in, and gather in the hall after you pack up. We need to exchange information."
"Mr. Gandalf, do you have any information?" Harry asked eagerly.
He only knew that he had to find the Horcrux. This task sounded very clear, but in fact, he was completely in the dark. He could only think of the place name Godric's Hollow after a long time.
If Gandalf had other clues, it would be of great significance to him.
"I'll tell you after I tidy up the room." 'Gandalf' said this and walked slowly to the hall.
"You're too impatient, Harry." Hermione laughed and teased, then turned and walked to her room.
"How can I not be impatient?" Harry muttered.
"Just be patient for a while." Ron patted Harry's shoulder with emotion and walked past him with his luggage.
......
Ten minutes later, the three of them walked out of the room one after another and walked to the hall on the furry carpet.
'Gandalf' sat on a sofa, with a stove on the table in front of him. The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and a copper kettle was clattering on the stove.
"Sit anywhere you like!" Gandalf glanced at the copper kettle, and the hot water inside flew out automatically and landed in four teacups.
The three looked at each other and sat opposite Gandalf.
"Sir." Harry asked excitedly but nervously, "What do you know?"
"That depends on what you want to know." 'Gandalf' smiled mysteriously and said half-truthfully: "Although I failed to destroy Slytherin's locket, I also have a way to communicate with the soul fragments of the mysterious man in the locket."
"What?" Some terrible memories suddenly emerged in Ron's mind, "You mean the locket can also bewitch people like a diary?"
"Bewitch people?" '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, "That... Harry, I suddenly feel that it may not be a bad thing that we didn't find the locket."
Harry didn't comment, and asked curiously: "What happened?"
"The locket turned into all the things I encountered before. There is a powerful enemy who wants to devour my heart when I am afraid or nervous. Maybe the heart can nourish its soul fragments! "
"Is it so dangerous?" Hermione looked worried, "Then Aaron..."
"Don't worry, Gaius's willpower is comparable to mine." 'Gandalf' told the truth frankly, "If it was the main soul of the mysterious man, he might still be a little afraid, but if it was just a soul fragment... He would be kind if he didn't destroy it."
"It seems that this is really possible." Harry laughed easily, "Fu... Ahem! The main soul of the mysterious man couldn't 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 got what the last Horcrux of the mysterious man was. "
Hearing this, Harry was overjoyed, and the word excitement was almost written on his face.
He and Dumbledore only analyzed five Horcruxes: the diary, the ring, the locket, the golden cup, and Nagini. As for the sixth one, they only guessed that it would be a relic of Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.
But Godric Gryffindor and Rowena Ravenclaw are both famous wizards. Their relics are not many, but they are definitely not few. If you don't know what they are, it is almost impossible to find the real Horcrux.
"What is it?" Harry asked immediately.
"The crown, the crown of Rowena Ravenclaw." 'Gandalf' said lightly, "Intelligence and wisdom are the greatest wealth of mankind. The crown can enhance people's wisdom. It is the most precious treasure created by Rowena Ravenclaw.
Here I have to congratulate you three Gryffindors. The relics of three of the four founders of Hogwarts were contaminated by evil souls, and Gryffindor successfully escaped."
"I don't think there is anything to congratulate." Ron pursed his lips in dismay, "Then where is the crown of Ravenclaw?"
"I don't know."
"Watfa..." Ron opened his eyes wide in surprise. It turned out that he only got the name of a Horcrux?
That's no different from what they are doing now, looking for Horcruxes, but not knowing where to go.
"Ron." Harry sighed softly, "This is already a big help."
"By the way, there is one more thing.
If the soul fragments in Slytherin's locket didn't lie to me, then if the number of Horcruxes destroyed exceeds half, the main soul of the mysterious man might notice it."
"We want to destroy half, but now it's only one-third." Harry said bitterly.
"It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, the locket has been found.
My suggestion is to find as many Horcruxes as possible and then destroy them together."
The three exchanged glances and had no opinion.

On the one hand, this can catch Voldemort off guard, and on the other hand, it is also for their safety. If Voldemort knows that someone is digging up his foundation, he will definitely go crazy.
"Are there any other clues?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, Aaron showed me Dumbledore's plan."
"But you can't tell us, right!" Harry looked at 'Gandalf', trying to see a hint of surprise on his face, but the other party remained calm, as if he had known he would say that.
"There is a reason for this."
"What reason? Tell me what reason?" Harry asked, suppressing his anger.
Aaron, Lupin, Gandalf, all knew Dumbledore's plan, but the main executor of his plan was kept in the dark. Nothing is more ridiculous than this.
"You should know." 'Gandalf' said meaningfully, "You seem to have never cut off your connection with the mysterious man."
Harry's face twitched, and he was restless like a deflated ball.
"I did that to keep track of the You-Know-Who's dynamics."
"I believe that." 'Gandalf' picked up a cup of tea and drank it slowly, "but you can't guarantee that the You-Know-Who won't mislead you, and you can't guarantee that he won't spy on your thoughts in return.
You've already suffered a big loss once, losing your only relative, can't this teach you a lesson?"
"I..." Harry was speechless, and after a few seconds of silence, he stubbornly said: "He doesn't seem to be able to read my thoughts."
As long as he doesn't believe the images in his mind and is not deceived by Voldemort, it shouldn't matter if he knows Dumbledore's plan!
More importantly, he really needs a definite direction now, instead of running around like a headless fly.
Hermione tugged at his arm, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense." Harry said seriously, "If he could read my mind, we would have been caught long ago, and it would be impossible for us to escape until now."
"That makes sense." 'Gandalf' nodded slightly, "But are you sure you want to take a gamble?
It may be difficult to read your mind, but it may not be impossible for him. Once you lose the bet, Dumbledore's plan will be completely ruined. What will you do then?"
Hearing this, Harry opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
The plan is important, but it seems more important to ensure that the plan does not fail.
"Wait." Ron suddenly interrupted, "You can tell us Dumbledore's plan!
We won'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 flushed with embarrassment.
It seems that he was too brave. He actually wanted to steal 'Gandalf's' job, and he did it in front of him.
"Harry Potter, I can tell you very clearly that the specific location of the Horcruxes is not included in Dumbledore's remaining plan.
His plan is to supplement you after you find and destroy at least five Horcruxes, which will be a threat to Voldemort..."
"Don't say his name." Ron interrupted nervously.
‘Gandalf’ ignored him this time and continued: “This will be the final fatal blow to Voldemort.
But before that, Dumbledore placed his hopes on you, the son of prophecy. He believed that you could find and destroy enough Horcruxes, only in this way could his plan go smoothly.”
Hearing this, Harry fell silent, and his face calmed down after a long time.
“That’s all I can say, so what have you gained these days?”
The three looked at each other and turned their eyes to other directions awkwardly.
"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 to us by Dumbledore." Hermione forced herself to save face, "He gave me The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and I have found some clues from this book."
"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 was a triangle with a circle inside and a thin line in the middle.
"At first I thought it was an eye, but later I found out it wasn't.
The ink mark was 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 the clue."
'Gandalf's pupils shrank slightly. He knew this symbol. It was once considered the symbol of Gellert Grindelwald. Even now, quite a few people in the magic 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 a little bit. This pattern is the symbol of Grindelwald."
"Grindelwald?" Ron was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Is it the Gellert Grindelwald I know?"
'Gandalf' nodded, "Grindelwald is 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 may still be alive, right?" Harry asked, showing some eagerness to try.
"What? Do you want to find him?" 'Gandalf' looked at him with a smile, "If you want to die, you can go. I don't know how powerful the You-Know-Who is, but he won't be a match for Grindelwald in his heyday.
The You-Know-Who only occupies the British wizarding world now, but once there is a problem in Nurmengard, the international wizarding 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, but I am not one of them."
"Christmas!" Harry said a little disappointedly, "I hope Luna will go home for Christmas, then we can go and ask her."
"You can also go directly to the Lovegood family, Luna's father must know this mark." 'Gandalf' suggested.
"We will go, but we have to go to Godric's Hollow first." Harry said, and then he suddenly thought of something and took out a golden snitch from his pocket, "Sir, can you help me take a look? This is a relic left to me by Dumbledore, but I don't know what information is hidden in it."
