Chapter 379: The missing Horcrux

Outside the door are the two brothers George and Fred. They both wore tattered school uniform robes. There were also robes on their faces. The flesh exposed from the holes in the robes was all blue and purple. The same as the one coming back from the boxing ring.
"Mike, we can't stand it!"
"Yes, I can't take it anymore!"
Before McFar could speak, George and Fred started talking with you.
Mike glanced at the two of them, took them back to the secret of Freemasonry through the Freemasonry coins, and asked quickly:
"How is this going?"
"It's Umbridge! Now the entire Hogwarts is hers!"
"So she set up the disciplinary room again and hired a lot of Slytherins, giving them the right to supervise students to rule Hogwarts!"
"The key is!"
"She still isn't going to fire us!"
"Yes, she wants to buckle us at Hogwarts all over the place! That's how our injuries come from!"
"If this continues, sooner or later we will be played by her!"
Listening to the Weasley brothers having finished the story, Mike's face also had a trace of anger.
The Weasley brothers are all members of the Freemasonry. When they made the unbreakable oath, they swore to be blessed and enjoy the same difficulties!
The original reason why the Weasley brothers were allowed to be retaliated by Umbridge was actually more of the punishment given by Mike for their unauthorized actions, but this retaliation is limited. Now Umbridge’s behavior is undoubtedly touching. It's Mike's bottom line.
"You guys," Mike said after a long while forcibly suppressing his anger, "what are you going to do?"
"We are ready to escape Hogwarts."
"Yes! Just like Dumbledore did!"
"Then we will go to Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade Village to rent a store to fulfill our dream!"
"Open a magic joke house!"
George and Fred spoke in a staggered conversation, and the vigorous anger on their faces at the beginning turned into a vision for the future.
But this longing didn't last long before it disappeared, transforming into a gritted teeth with hatred.
"But before we leave, we must teach Umbridge a lesson!"
"Yes! An unforgettable lesson! Otherwise, our suffering during this period of time will be in vain!"
After speaking, the two looked at Mike again with a worried expression.
They have learned a lesson from the previous incident, and now they know very well that if they are really ready to act, then it is better to ask Mike.
If Mike disagrees, then everything is over!
"Umbridge did too much, so..." Mike looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes slowly, "I support you!"
"awesome!"
"Mike! Forever!"
The two Weasley brothers were screaming and were about to come up to hug Mike. If they used to be, Mike would firmly push the two men away, but now looking at the scars on their faces, Mike was standing there. Without moving, George and Weasley were allowed to wipe all the dirt from their hands and faces on his clean robe.
"Okay! It's almost done!" After a while, Mike, who felt he had reached the limit of endurance, broke free from the arms of the two of them, and said disgustedly while patting his robes, "Tell me, what are you going to do? do?"
"you still need to ask?"
An unkind look appeared on George's face, and Fred beside him took out a colorful bucket of fireworks from his arms and said:
"Of course we still use our swoosh fireworks!"
"There are many other magical fireworks! These are enough to blow up the old witch Umbridge!"
Looking at the familiar fireworks, Mike shook his head and said:
"Have you not considered a problem? What if Umbridge is already prepared for this kind of fireworks, and the effect you want cannot be achieved by then?"
As soon as the words came out, the Weasley brothers reacted. You look at me and I look at you, all speechless.
Until the last two people looked at Mike.
"As your president, it's time for me to help you a little bit." Mike's mouth rose up. "You go to Benjamin and Victor. I told you to go, and they will cooperate with you!"
"Mike! Forever!" 2
The Weasley brothers cheered again and rushed towards Mike.
But this time Mike didn't condone the two, but simply stepped aside.
"Go away! My body is dirty!"
The faces of the Weasley brothers who threw an empty look showed regret, which made Mike even more sure of his previous thoughts-these two guys were on purpose!
After another fight with the Weasley brothers, Mike said:
"Okay, guys, I think it's time for us to separate. Go find Benjamin and Victor. I also have my own business to do."
With that said, Mike took out the Freemasonry gold coin to send it, but George on the side suddenly said:
"What are you going to do?"
Mike's movements choked, thinking for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Harry and Hermione are practicing Occlumency at my place. I will let them out of school. Then I will go to the Slytherin Lounge."
"Slytherin!"
"Why are you going there?"
Brother Weasley's eyes lit up all at once.
"Huh, I made an appointment with Chris to buy something from him. This is a small matter, you guys..."
"Take us! We can be your bodyguards!"
"Yes! We are very worried about you! The group of Slytherins might do it to you!"
Mike was interrupted, but he was not angry.
Looking at the excited Weasley brothers, Mike didn't know what they were thinking, but considering that the two of them had really been angry in the past two days, it was time to vent, and Mike nodded and agreed.
...
Half an hour later, Mike, who had liberated Harry and Hermione, took the Weasley brothers to the entrance of the Slytherin lounge.
The entrance of the Slytherin Lounge is in a basement in Hogwarts Castle. Since the basement is really not a good place, and Slytherin is extremely exclusive, the basement usually only comes from Slytherin students. .
This was the first time Mike went to the Slytherin Lounge, so he looked around very carefully, and this also made him discover some strange places-the walls of this basement were all wet!
Although this is a basement, it is normal for water marks to appear on the wall and floor during the rainy season, but it is winter now!
Mack silently remembered this abnormal phenomenon in his mind, but at this moment a nice voice suddenly rang.
"Hello, Mr. Tony."
Mike turned his head and saw a tall, blond girl in a Slytherin uniform, smiling and looking at him.
"Hello there."
Mike responded blankly, but the girl opposite seemed to not feel Mike's indifference at all, and said enthusiastically:
"I'm Astoria Greengrass, it's an honor to see you! Chris asked me to open the door for you, now, come in! Glory!"
As Astoria read the password aloud, a wall in front of Mike and the others suddenly moved away, revealing the Slytherin lounge inside.
Mike looked at the girl named Astoria a few times, and walked in slowly until the smile on the other side's face became a little uneasy.
And the Weasley brothers behind him also followed when they saw it, but they all grunted dissatisfied as they passed by Astoria.
Just now Astoria completely ignored them, which made them very dissatisfied.
Mike, who was walking in the front, did not notice the little movements of the Weasley brothers, because at this moment his attention was completely attracted by the Slytherin lounge.
Compared with the other three college lounges, the Slytherin lounge is arguably the most luxurious and the most amazing!
Its four walls are all made of black Gothic marble. There is also a fireplace in the room with a beautifully carved mantelpiece. At this moment, it is emitting warm fire to all around.
However, all of this is nothing, the most eye-catching thing in the entire lounge is the ceiling.
It was a huge transparent semicircle carved out of a whole piece of crystal, but looking out from the transparent ceiling, it was a few huge octopus tentacles and sparkling waves!
Seeing this scene, Mike was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly looked at the other windows in the lounge.
Sure enough, through those windows, Mike still saw the dark lake and the unknown strange creatures that would swim past the windows from time to time!
Mike understood it instantly!
The Slytherin lounge is located at the bottom of the Black Lake!
Mike was a little surprised. Legend has it that Hogwarts Castle was actually the private residence of the Slytherin family, one of the Big Four. Mike originally couldn't believe it, but now Mike believes it.
Because the lounge Slytherin left for his students is really great!
If it weren't for this entire castle is his home, Mike believes that at least Gryffindor will fight Slytherin for this lounge!
After all, it's really cool!
"Mr. Mike, please go this way."
As Mike was immersed in the strange scenery of the Slytherin Lounge, Astoria's voice rang again.
Hearing that Mike retracted his gaze immediately, he continued to walk in the direction he was pointing with his expressionless expression.
In the Slytherin lounge, there were still a few students sitting on the carved chairs near the fireplace. The arrival of Mike and the Weasley brothers instantly attracted their attention.
Obviously they had already received the notice that Mike would be coming, so they didn't do anything, just stared at Mike with malicious eyes.
The faint green light from the crystal chandelier on the ceiling hit their faces, making them look like vampires.
Mike ignored them, and led Weasley and others to a door directly under Astoria's guidance.
At this time, Astoria, who had been following Mike, suddenly speeded up and came to Mike, knocking on the door instead of Mike who wanted to push in directly.
The door of the room opened quickly, and Mike looked at the other person deeply before entering the room alone.
As for the two Weasley brothers, this was blocked by someone.
Mike was not surprised at all, rather, Mike was already surprised that the two of them could walk so far with him.
You know this is Slytherin's base camp, and Mike didn't say hello in advance to bring someone.
It is not surprising that the two of them were stopped at the entrance of the lounge.
What appeared in front of Mike was a reception room. Compared with Mike’s reception room in the secret Freemasonry, this place is a bit more primitive. The table and chair decorations inside all have a heavy feeling accumulated after time has settled. It looks very pleasing to the eye.
At the moment, on the sofa in the reception room, a young man stood up.
"Mike, you are finally here, haha!"
"Hello, Chris."
"how are you doing lately?"
"About this, I am afraid it is difficult to describe." Mike's gaze fell on the gleaming silver armband on Chris' arm. "But it looks like you are doing well."
"Hahaha! It's alright." Chris noticed Mike's gaze and said, "This is Umbridge's trust in me, saying that it allows me to have the same rights as the president of the student council. But I think this It's not very useful."
...
The two were polite and feigned, and then sat down face to face on the sofa chair, and after sitting down, Mike didn't have the slightest nonsense and asked straightforwardly:
"What about things?"
"Here it is."
Chris smiled and placed a pendant box with the Slytherin snake logo on it on the coffee table between the two.
Mike immediately picked up the pendant box and looked at it, while Chris lifted his legs and said:
"To be honest, this thing is not very useful to me. I feel boring after playing for a few days, so it is not impossible to let you. But I noticed that you actually started to issue a reward order a few months ago to find this It's something~EbookFREE.me~ This makes me wonder, why do you want this pendant box so much? This is just a valuable antique, to say that those pure bloods chase me for the illusory honor You can understand, but you are a mud...Muggle-born wizard. Why do you have to do this?"
Mike ignored Chris and focused on the pendant box in front of him.
Before coming here, Penello had given Mike all the means to identify the authenticity of the pendant box.
Although Mike wrote down all of them, he felt that those were unnecessary, because he knew very well that Slytherin's pendant box must be a Horcrux, so as long as Voldemort's soul is not detected in it, the pendant box must be fake. .
Now, Mike has encountered this situation-there is no distraction of Voldemort in the pendant box at all, not even the slightest breath of Voldemort!
This pendant box is fake!
This was Mike's first reaction.
But after calming down and testing the pendant box in accordance with the method given by Penello, the conclusion is that this pendant box is genuine!
Now Mike is completely dumbfounded!
