Chapter 247 Gryffindor likes to go straight~
During breakfast, Ted comforted the friends, and they came here at noon.
Ted was a little strange. Looking at Ron who was a little anxious, he asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it time for dinner?"
Ron waved his hands again and again: "Hey! Who said that! Do I just know that I can't eat it? Besides, I have read the lunch menu, and there are no new dishes..."
Jerry stabs him quickly!
Ron suddenly realized: "Ah, I completely forgot what you said. Do you remember Sir Cadogan?"
Hermione's eyes lit up: "You mean, treasure!" Her voice was very small, as if afraid of being heard.
Ted also suddenly realized that there were too many things to be busy during the holidays, so he forgot about it.
"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."
Ted admitted that he was indeed a nobleman who forgot about things~, and asked, "Why, what news do you have?"
"Hey!" Ron grinned, smiled, and looked around at his friends: How are you? How about it? It's not up to me!
As a result, Hermione said: "I checked..."
It turned out that Hermione looked up Sir Cadogan in the library during the holidays.
But the general information is still the information, the characters in the myths and legends, and a member of the legendary Knights of the Round Table.
Ron: Is that all? I was taken aback, thinking that I had done useless work again!
He said mysteriously: "You know, we lost our way in the divination class yesterday, who showed us the way?"
"Who is it?"
"Sir Cadogan!"
"Ah! You found his ghost?"
"What a ghost! Portrait!"
It was too late yesterday, and because he was shocked by Neville's "death", Ron forgot. I didn't think of it until I woke up in the morning.
Several people didn't even eat lunch for a while, so they went to find the portrait.
After asking around, I found that Sir Cadogan is really disgusting, because no one knows where his picture frame is. I even rolled my eyes when I mentioned it.
How did this get mixed up?
Don't talk about the portrait, even the supernatural ghost doesn't know where he is.
Ted asked the two resident ghosts, the fat friar and Nearly Headless Nick. They have been in the castle for hundreds of years. The ghosts don't know where the portrait of Sir Cadogan is.
It's not that I didn't know it all the time, but Sir Cadogan's brain circuit is a bit single, and his behavior is a bit like Don Quixote who is seriously ill, which has a very serious impact on other portraits.
So about two hundred years ago, his portrait was collected by the school staff and stored separately.
Since then, there are not many opportunities for Sir Cadogan to come out to charge on horseback. Sometimes a young wizard has never seen him from the time he entered school to the time he graduated.
Speaking of which, it was a surprise that Neville and the others met Sir Cadogan last time.
Ted looked at Neville: It's not necessarily an accident... These things tend to happen around Destiny's Child.
There was no harvest that day, but at night, Ted thought of an idea, or he could find a "person" to help.
Peeves!
If anyone could find Sir Cadogan's portrait, it would be Peeves.
As for how to convince him...Ted went with a whip.
Peeves agreed to help out of face, saying that it was his duty.
When Ted found Sir Cadogan's portrait, his portrait was placed on the ground facing the wall, and the magic of this classroom was restrained.
He guessed that the reason why Sir Cadogan rarely appeared was because the original staff moved his portrait to this room with little supply of magic power.
It took a long time before Sir Cadogan awoke from his deep sleep, and it was not long before he fell asleep again. Doesn't this limit him!
That's right, now Sir Cadogan is leaning on his horse, sleeping alone on the grass with snot bubbles coming out.
Ted took the portrait directly to the secret base and dispatched some magic supply.
The more Ted studied the Room of Requirement and the materials left by Ms. Ravenclaw about the establishment of the school, the more magical and great Hogwarts felt.
It is a bit amazing to artificially uproot mountains, build a school, and build such a complex and exquisite magic power supply system at the magic power gathering point in the Scottish Highlands.
I'm afraid it is this kind of big project that can be built by four people who have reached the end of the wizard's road.
Speaking of which, with the supply of magic power, Sir Cadogan woke up not long after.
"Hmm~ I seem to have woken up a little early this time. Huh? What is this place?!" Sir Cadogan called.
Ron, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, asked quickly, "Sir Cadogan, where is the treasure?"
Ke Duogen raised his jazz mustache, "Treasure, what treasure?" He looked confused, not pretending.
"Treasure! Treasure of Gryffindor!"
Sir Cadogan looked puzzled: "What Gryffindor's treasure? I haven't heard of it! I don't know Gryffindor!"
He really wasn't lying, he really didn't know Gryffindor.
He existed hundreds of years earlier than Gryffindor.
But why is his portrait in the castle?
It is not certain whether there was such a magic technology for moving portraits in that era. At least until now, there is only one magic portrait in that era, Sir Cadogan.
It must be a portrait of Sir Cadogan painted by later generations, and then placed in the castle. Who could it be?
Hermione and Ted glanced at each other: probably Gryffindor.
Here I have to explain the magic portrait, only the kind of portrait that is drawn according to the person, with the consent of the person, and infused with the magic power of the person. Will have their own character and thoughts.
However, some "original figure paintings", such as fishing guys, have only very simple personalities, which are given by "painters" and wizards, and they are not so distinctive.
The most typical one is the portrait of the principal on the wall in the principal's office. They are much more flexible than the fat lady and the Air Force guy hanging on the wall. It's like living in a picture frame.
It may be because the characters in the painting are "self-created" according to the legend, not painted according to himself, so Sir Cadogan is so out of tune.
…
Now it is obvious that Gryffindor has set up obstacles on Sir Cadogan and needs to meet the conditions to get the information.
It's like the Sorting Hat only informed the treasure information after Neville got the Gryffindor sword and got approval.
Sir Cadogan should be the same.
But maybe he doesn't even know about it himself, and the condition has to be triggered before he can react.
Ron Halle and the others were chattering around Sir Cadogan, while Hermione whispered to herself: "The puzzles set by Gryffindor shouldn't be too complicated and correct. He doesn't value wisdom..."
It's as if the Sorting Hat said "The secret is behind Slytherin", and the message is really engraved on the back of the Slytherin statue, straightforward.
Ted followed her words: "So be direct and don't think too deeply."
Hermione nodded, and said to Sir Cadogan: "Gryffindor asked us to find you!"
Sir Cadogan, who had been arguing with Harry and the others with great interest, suddenly froze, his eyes dull, and he said: "Go and find out my story! The secret is there!"
"Huh? What's going on? Where did I just say that?" He asked confusedly, obviously unaware of what he said.
The friends were all stunned, they all looked at Hermione instead of caring about him.
