Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 397 Crown and Horcrux

At the dining table, Nico pushed a plate of bone-in steaks in front of Kyle and said with a smile: "I almost forgot to ask, you came to me for nothing...it can't be to spend Christmas with me.

"That's the main reason," Kyle said.

"Nothing else?"

"No." Kyle shook his head.

"If that's the case..." Nico glanced at him and said half-jokingly: "Then I won't care about you.

"You know, it takes a long time to find the right symbol, and then I probably won't leave that room for weeks."

"Um..." Kyle patted his head, "Oh, when you said that, I really remembered a little thing."

"Just say it." Nico laughed and said, "As long as you don't be like Albus and get a time turner from a thousand years ago."

"No, no, it's just a small thing..."

Kyle placed a box on the table, put on his spell-proof gloves, and took out a rusty crown from inside.

"I found this in Hogwarts Castle and wanted to see if there was any way to fix it."

When he first saw the crown, Nico didn't pay much attention, just thinking it was a damaged alchemy item that Kyle had dug out from Hogwarts.

After all, nothing found in that thousand-year school would be surprising.

Based on the intuition of a master alchemist, Nico quickly discovered something strange about the crown.

His expression became serious, as if he had thought of some possibility.

"Could it be..."

Nico suddenly became nervous and subconsciously asked: "What is this..."

"It's nothing, just Ravenclaw's crown." Kyle said casually.

"The crown that has been lost for a thousand years?" Nico couldn't help but stand up.

For almost all alchemists, the Ravenclaw diadem that can increase wisdom, like the Philosopher's Stone, is something that only exists in legend.

Nico already had the Philosopher's Stone, but he had never seen the crown with his own eyes. This was one of the few regrets in his long life of six hundred years.

I didn't expect it to be at Hogwarts all along.

Albus actually told him that he had never seen... the headmaster, not even a teenager.

Nico groaned inwardly.

But now there is another problem

Ravenclaw's diadem was so worn that it looked like junk from a thrift store.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible for magic items of this level to be corroded...

Nico couldn't help but move closer and look at the crown carefully.

His expression became more and more serious.

"Is this... a Horcrux?"

"Yes." Kyle nodded, "When I found it, it had already been made into a Horcrux."

Now, even with Nico's cultivation, he wanted to curse.

Making Ravenclaw's diadem into a Horcrux, I'm afraid even the despicable Herbo would not be able to do such a thing.

Nico tried to touch the crown, and he didn't know what he did. A black mist suddenly surged out and circled around the crown.

There were faint murmurs from all around.

"Snapped!"

The house elf Tata instantly apparated in front of Nico, pointing nervously at the black mist.

"Don't be nervous, Tata." Nico said. He pressed his fingers down, and the black mist returned to the crown.

Kyle put it into the box again, and then continued:

"I came here just to see if there is any way to remove the soul fragments attached to it."

Nico responded softly.

He didn't ask where Kyle found the crown, whether Dumbledore knew...he just said with interest: "What do you think?"

"If you just simply destroy the Horcrux, there are many ways..."

Kyle said, "The basilisk's fangs, the Fire Curse, the Dementor's kiss, or the direct use of the Death Curse can dissipate the soul fragments inside.

"But these methods will cause more or less damage to the crown itself."

"I'm glad you thought of that."

Nico laughed and said: "When an item is made into a Horcrux, it and the soul fragments put into it become a whole...or the entire crown is his soul.

Now I kind of understand why that person chose the crown as a container. For most people, even if they knew it was a Horcrux, they probably wouldn't be willing to destroy it.

In this regard, this man is smarter than the despicable Herbo. "

"Then are you sure you can fix it?" Kyle asked: "If it is possible, I happen to have the basilisk's poison, or I can use a dementor.

They are in Hogsmeade, and there is only one Ministry of Magic personnel guarding them. As long as you act quickly, catching two of them shouldn't be a big problem. "

Nico looked a little strange.

He could understand the venom of the basilisk. Dumbledore had said before that the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets now belonged to Kyle, so there would be no problem if he put some poison into it.

But catching Dementors... isn't this way a bit too wild? Is that something that can be caught just by catching it?

"Ahem, no need, I have a better way." Nico waved his hand, "Although it may take a little longer, it can guarantee that it will not cause any form of damage to the crown."

"What can I do?" Kyle asked curiously.

"An ancient potion for the soul." Nico said calmly, "I once saw it on a slate book to prove that Horcruxes do not belong to alchemy. Coincidentally, this potion is also the despicable Haier Wave invented it.”

"Despicable Haierbo...a potion from a thousand years ago?"

Kyle frowned and said, "Can we still find those potion ingredients after such a long time?"

"No problem." Nico laughed and said, "I have stored a lot of ancient potion materials in a special way. Even if one or two are missing, I can always find a suitable substitute."

"But kid..." He looked away from the box and looked at Kyle calmly, "You seem to have a deep understanding of Horcruxes."

"Well, because of an idea, I have been researching it for a while."

Kyle didn't hide it, "I'm going to..."

"Oh, you don't need to tell me."

Nico interrupted Kyle again, "I believe you can make the most correct judgment, and you must have your own reasons for doing so.

I'm not blaming you, but reminding you...remember what I said to you when we were in Paris?

If you need it, you can always go to my private library again, where there are many books and a rich variety..."

Nico blinked, and while Kyle was in a daze, he quietly took the box away.

By the time Kyle found out, he had already put the things into a bag with such a neat movement.
