Chapter 198: Voldemort's Horcruxes

Krum went to the Gryffindor lounge and asked Hermione to be his dance partner, but was rejected. The news soon spread to other houses through the mouths of Gryffindor students.

Many people were a little unbelievable when they first heard about this, and even wondered if the order was reversed.

After all, Hermione's invitation to Krum was rejected, which was in line with everyone's intuition.

But there were so many witnesses, and the little lions were so sure of what they said, that everyone finally believed that this was true and not a rumor.

But here's the problem...Hermione looks extremely ordinary and is a typical "nerd" who is not very popular with boys.

And Krum, as a famous Quidditch star, would actually invite her. What kind of aesthetic is this?

Doesn't he care about looks and only likes female top students with excellent grades?

Of course, what surprised everyone more than Krum's invitation was that Hermione simply rejected him... and the reason was "I have a dance partner."

To be honest, no one really believes this statement. After all, what kind of dance partner can be more attractive than Klum?

But soon, another rumor emerged - from Hermione's roommate Lavender Brown. She "accidentally" revealed this while chatting with others:

"Hermione doesn't have a dance partner. She just likes Rolf Scamander, so she rejected Krum..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone who was still confused at first accepted them instantly and felt that they were very reasonable.

Scamander is much more famous than Krum. He has also won two Orders of Merlin. He is much more powerful than Krum. Most importantly, he looks extremely handsome...

As for Krum, he is eighteen years old, but he has a face of thirty-eight years old, so much so that some fans are now reporting him to the International Federation of Wizards Quidditch Committee, saying:

He lied about his age. He was obviously a thirty-year-old man, but he insisted on pretending to be a young man.

In such a comparison, it is normal for Hermione to reject Krum.

Many female students in Hogwarts were heartbroken because of Rolf becoming Shirley's dance partner, and decided not to attend the dance... It seems that Hermione is also a member of the Heartbreak Club.

Hermione's rejection also made many students who could not find dance partners feel much better:

Look, even big stars like Klum are rejected by girls. Isn't it normal for them to be rejected?

In short, this semester has come to an end in such a programmatic and joyful atmosphere, and the long-awaited Christmas holiday has finally arrived.

Unlike previous years, most of the students in Hogwarts' fourth grade and above stayed at school during the Christmas holiday this year.

The professors assigned a lot of homework, but no one was interested in doing it. The students were all having fun, and the school seemed noisier than usual.

Rolf also didn't do his homework. He was working hard in the Room of Requirement with Shirley.

At this time, in front of them was a mountain of items:

There were thousands of books; winged slingshots and fanged flying saucers, several of which were still hovering feebly over mountains of forbidden objects; broken bottles containing solidified potions; hats, jewelry, The cloak looks like a fire dragon egg shell...

These are the treasures left in the Room of Requirement by the students of Hogwarts in the past. After thousands of years of accumulation, they have turned into a veritable mountain of garbage.

Similarly, Voldemort's treasure, the Horcrux, is also hidden in this mountain of garbage.

Rolf and Shirley were looking for the Horcrux made from the fake Ravenclaw diadem.

But the problem now is that there are so many things here, and a crown is hidden among them. Finding it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, the first time Harry came here to hide something, he was able to touch the crown. He was really a son of the plane, and he was really lucky.

But Luofu's luck was obviously not very good. He had occasionally found time to come here to "scavenge" since he was in second grade. After two and a half years of searching, he still couldn't find the crown.

Sometimes he really wanted to use the Fire Spell to light up this place, which would save time and effort.

Just as Rove was hesitating whether to increase manpower and call Hermione, Fleur and Gabrielle to help, Shirley's voice sounded in the distance.

"Rolf, come here quickly!"

The boy immediately became energetic. He picked up the box and flew into the distance. After passing through several mountains of garbage, he quickly found Shirley.

The girl with the ponytail stood in front of a large cabinet with a blistered surface that looked like acid had been poured on it. In her hand was a rusty crown.

Rolf fell next to Shirley, took the crown from her hand, touched it gently, and said with a smile: "I finally found you."

Luofu looked at Shirley and said, "Let's go back to the box first."

He placed the black suitcase on the ground, opened it, and jumped in first, followed closely by Shirley.

After Luo Fe fell into the room, he placed the worn crown on the table and explained at the same time:

"Shirley, go get that goblin dagger soaked in basilisk venom."

The ponytail girl hummed, turned and walked towards a box.

At this time, I don't know if he heard Luo Fu's words, but a pair of red eyes suddenly appeared on the rusty crown.

He stared at the boy and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you a student of Hogwarts?"

"Yes." Luof looked into those eyes and asked knowingly, "Who are you?"

"Me?" Voldemort's eyes turned and he said with a smile: "I am Rowena Ravenclaw's crown. Like Gryffindor's sorting hat, it has its own consciousness..."

"Ravenclaw's crown?" Rolf's face showed an exaggerated expression, "Could it be that you are the crown that can increase wisdom after wearing it?"

"Yes, it's me." Voldemort said:

"Ravenclaw left me in the Room of Requirement, so that I can wait for the destined person and pass on her magic. It seems that you are the destined person!"

"Child, open your heart, let go of your soul, and give yourself to me." Voldemort said in a voice full of bewitching:

"I can teach you how to improve your reputation, brew glory, and even conquer death..."

"Really?" Rolf said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I also have a crown here, you can help me take a look."

The boy opened the drawer, took out the real Ravenclaw crown, and placed it side by side with the Horcrux.

Voldemort was stunned for a moment after looking at the shining crown. He was shocked and said, "You...your crown is fake...a counterfeit."

"Fake?" Rolf laughed, "But this was given to me by Helena. She said it was the real Ravenclaw crown."

"She also said...she had tricked a fool named Tom Riddle into taking a fake crown from a tree hole in the Albanian forest.

Crown, crown...have you seen that fool?"

"..."
