Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 517 Draco in Action
As for how to find the golden cup, neither Jon nor Dumbledore was worried.
The situation is already very clear. Since Voldemort has staged a large-scale prison break in Azkaban and gathered his men, this means that he will never lie dormant again, and he must have bigger plans in the future.
In other words, he had actually already started to act, otherwise those two Death Eaters would not have appeared in the Gaunt family mansion.
At this moment, another owl flew into the headmaster's office and dropped a letter in front of Dumbledore.
When Dumbledore saw the unique sealing wax used on the letter, his expression became noticeably serious.
He opened the envelope and took out a brief letter.
"Sirius also encountered two Death Eaters and a house-elf at the entrance of the cave where Voldemort once hid the locket."
"He fought with them, but during the tangle, more Death Eaters arrived, forcing him to flee first."
Now, some things can be confirmed.
Jon said.
"He now wants to retrieve all his Horcruxes!"
Lily suddenly spoke up.
"Since he has sent people to Gaunt's house and the cave where the locket is hidden, will he also send people to take the crown that was supposed to be hidden in the castle ?"
Her words reminded Jon and Dumbledore, or rather, the three of them thought of the same thing at the same time!
…
"That idiot Potter hasn't been seen for the past two days. He must be doing something again. Should we follow him secretly?"
Gore sullenly proposed a bad idea.
It is also because they are really too bored during this period of time. Although the peaceful campus life is comfortable, it also makes people feel bored and always want to do something.
In the past, Draco would definitely not refuse Goyle's proposal, but for some reason, he has been absent-minded and looks worried these past two days.
"Forget it, let Potter do whatever he wants to do. It has nothing to do with us. You guys go have dinner. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I'm going back alone."
After saying this, he didn't even bother to look at Goyle and Crabbe's reactions. He turned around and walked towards the Slytherin dormitory.
Only his two burly followers were left standing there with a puzzled look on their faces.
After Draco disappeared from Goyle and the others' sight, he immediately changed direction. Instead of heading to the Slytherin common room in the basement, he went up the stairs to the eighth floor.
He looked like he had been here more than once, and walked straight to the tapestry of the giant beating Barnabas with a club.
It was dinner time now, and this location on the eighth floor was far away from the towers where the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw common rooms were located, so there was no one around.
But Draco was still very nervous. He looked left and right like a timid thief, came to the open space opposite the tapestry, and began to wander back and forth facing the blank wall.
Soon a door appeared in front of Draco. He hurriedly opened the door and entered the room where every request was granted.
This whole scene was seen by a house-elf hiding in the dark.
After Draco entered the Room of Requirement, the house-elf who had just received a mission and made a discovery appeared in the headmaster's office in a flash.
At this time, Jon and the others had not left yet.
Dobby was very excited.
"Mr. Dumbledore! After receiving your order, I immediately went to the other side of the tapestry, and then I saw a bad boy open the door just as you said!"
Dumbledore, John and Lily, who were originally discussing whether to deal with the Horcruxes that had already been found, were all stunned.
Less than half an hour had passed since they thought that Voldemort might send people to Hogwarts to find the tiara, and called Dobby, who was already working in Hogwarts Castle, to guard the door of the Room of Requirement, and now they have made a discovery!
"Do you know who he is?" Dumbledore asked, crossing his arms.
Dobby certainly didn't hesitate.
"It's Draco Malfoy!"
After hearing this name, John and the others did not feel much surprise. In Hogwarts, there were only a few people who could be indirectly controlled by Voldemort.
However, neither Dumbledore nor John had any intention of immediately capturing Draco who was in the Room of Requirement. The crown was no longer in it anyway, and Draco could bring them more help now.
"It is enough to know who helped Voldemort in the castle. We should all be in agreement about these Horcruxes."
Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
Jon nodded as well.
"Now that there is only one golden cup left, and we already know that the soul of Voldemort in the golden cup is causing trouble, we can no longer leave these Horcruxes here. No one can be sure what will happen in the meantime. Destroying them now is the safest measure."
All the Horcruxes found in the end were handed over to John. Naturally, he had plenty of ways to destroy them, whether it was the Fiendfyre or the basilisk fang that he still kept in his hand.
At the end of the topic, there was a moment of silence in the air, but Dumbledore coughed twice and then spoke again.
"I know there are some things I shouldn't ask about, but Severus has been a professor and dean in this castle for more than ten years, and there are still some things that need his help, so how do you want to face him?"
Of course, he asked this question to Lily. After hearing this, John's face immediately became as calm as the water in the well. He picked up the tea with a calm look, but his eyes were always glancing at Snape who was still lying on the ground.
After hearing what Dumbledore said, Lily did not show any abnormality, she just spoke calmly.
"I have resolved the hatred between him and me. Now in this world, we are just two ordinary people who have nothing to do with each other. The one who really hates him is Harry. How to deal with him is a choice that Harry can make when he grows up and knows the truth of everything."
"So what should we do in this situation now?"
Lily offered a solution.
"Professor, please modify and erase his memory of what he saw me today. The best outcome for him is to make sure that the Lily in his mind is always dead."
