The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 325 Insomnia
At night, the headmaster's room was still lit, and Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk reviewing the documents accumulated in the past few days. Although the vice-principal, Professor McGonagall, would also assist him in handling most of the school's affairs, some documents still needed his attention. signed by the headmaster.

"Recently, a lot has happened."

After Dumbledore finished processing the documents, he picked up the cup of milk tea with several sugar cubes and took a sip, his eyes fell on the pile of envelopes.

Voldemort's eye on the Sorcerer's Stone, Professor Rowena Smith's inexplicable disappearance, and reforms within the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore can be sure that Voldemort has definitely returned to England secretly, and he is also eyeing Nicole Flamel's Sorcerer's Stone, but the biggest question now is, where is Voldemort hiding?

Originally, Dumbledore wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to lure Voldemort out.After all, the enemies hidden in the dark are really hard to deal with.

It's a pity that Voldemort has never taken any action. He still carefully hides his whereabouts, even when monitoring Nicole Flamel, for fear of being discovered by others, it will be difficult to catch him for a while.

Dumbledore didn't want to play hide-and-seek with him either. He was old and his energy was not as good as before.

There is another thing that Dumbledore is very concerned about. How could Professor Rowena Smith suddenly disappear without any news, as if he disappeared out of thin air.

Dumbledore suspected that Professor Smith's disappearance had something to do with Voldemort.

There's no way, given Voldemort's current situation, someone must be helping him, otherwise I won't be able to find him hiding there for a while.

It is understandable that Dumbledore would have such thoughts. After all, the other party is Voldemort, so he must be cautious in any case.

Will it be Rowena Smith?
Dumbledore paced back and forth in the principal's office, considering the possibility of this matter. If it was possible, it was actually not very high.If he was Voldemort, if he wanted to completely hide his whereabouts, Rowena Smith should not have disappeared inexplicably. The rewards offered by the Smith family have always been placed on the Daily Prophet.

"These two things probably don't matter."

After Dumbledore sorted out his thoughts, he sat back at the principal's desk and began to open the recently received envelopes with a letter opener, and replied one by one.

Since Cornelius Fudge became the Minister of Magic, many owls have been sent to him every day, asking him to help with ideas on certain Ministry of Magic policies.

After all, the matter of Buffy's mind-boosting agent is still causing a lot of trouble, and the Ministry of Magic is considering formulating a new examination law.

Although Dumbledore is not an expert in potions, he is well aware of the difficulty of making Buffy's Brain Refreshing Potion. There is no need to say anything about it. After all, the materials for making this potion are so expensive and the difficulty is so high that there is no A few skilled potion masters were able to make it successfully.

Thinking of the Slytherin student who was poisoned by drinking Buffy's mind-boosting potion and went to the school hospital, Dumbledore couldn't help but sighed softly. In his reply letter, he suggested to Fudge that he should let everyone understand that Buffy's brain-boosting potion The hazards of the drug, to avoid poisoning after taking the risk of someone taking the drug.

After all, 100% of the Buffy Brain Refreshing Potions on the market are toxic failures, even if the potion is diluted, it is still fatal.

There is no need to specify strict bills, the most important thing is to let everyone understand. I believe that with a precedent, few dare to touch Ba Fei's brain-boosting medicine.

Will someone drink it knowing it is poisonous?
Certainly not!

After dealing with these, Dumbledore began to open other letters, and gave a reply after careful consideration.

However, when he saw the sender's name, he couldn't help being stunned.

Albert Anderson?

Dumbledore read the sender's name softly, and opened the envelope with the opener beside him. Inside was a piece of parchment and a... photo.

It showed the bust of an ugly old wizard on top of a crate, his head covered with an old dusty wig and a rusty diadem.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of the photo for a while, and because it was a little far away, the photo was not clear.

He picked up the letter paper and quickly read it. The letter probably said: Albert accidentally found an item that was suspected to be a black magic item in a mysterious room in the school.

The rusty diadem of the wizard's bust in the photograph was the dark magic item.As long as you get close to its surroundings, you can hear evil whispers.

He suspects that this thing may also be the legendary diadem of Ravenclaw House that has been missing for many years.

These were his two suspicions, a dangerous dark magic item, or Ravenclaw's diadem, and his judgment was based on hearing whispers.

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, picked up the unclear photo again, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the portrait behind him.

"Armando, do you think the crown on the photo looks like Ravenclaw's?" Dumbledore handed the photo in the direction of Armando Dippet's portrait.

"Armando Dippet is the headmaster who came out of Ravenclaw, and he is more familiar with the crown than them."

"Ravenclaw's diadem?" Armando Dippet pushed his glasses, stretched his head to get closer, and the other principals in the office also opened their eyes, looking towards the nearby The portraits crowded around.

I want to see the so-called Ravenclaw's diadem, after all, that thing has disappeared for a long time, and there is no shortage of students trying to find the diadem to add points to their college.

"It's a bit like this shape, but, as you know, that thing has disappeared for hundreds of years, and no one has seen it at all." Armando Dippet couldn't be sure, he had seen Ravenc The crown on the Statue of Law, but this one is rusted...

"Wait a moment!"

As he said that, he disappeared into his own portrait. Not long after, Armando Dippet reappeared out of breath. He just went to the Ravenclaw lounge.
"The appearance is a bit similar. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is an imitation. By the way, where did you get this photo?"

"A student sent it to me." Dumbledore said: "He thinks that the crown is very likely to be a dark magic item, because he heard a strange sound coming from the crown. It's not a good sign to hear weird noises."

In the magic world, anything that can think independently needs to be vigilant. Dumbledore is not sure whether Ravenclaw's crown has the same ability to think like the Sorting Hat, but Albert's judgment and approach are undoubtedly quite wise , Tell him about it directly, instead of trying to figure it out yourself.

"I suggest you take back the things in the photos and study them." Armando Dippet's tone was somewhat urging: "Although it is unlikely, it should be taken seriously."

"I will, Armando." Dumbledore glanced at his pocket watch. It was already early in the morning, and it was impossible to find it now. Although Albert had said where this thing was, but... from the Room of Requirement The treasure house is too big, and there are things from Hogwarts in the past. Without Albert's help to guide the way, it would be difficult to find it for a while.

"It seems that this matter will have to wait until tomorrow." He stared at the photo and murmured.
