Chapter 4077 4079【Ravenclaw's Diadem】
Xiang Nan rode a broomstick and wandered around the Room of Requirement, searching for the whereabouts of the giant monster specimen.
In fact, he can also fly with a sword.
However, Xiang Nan considered that there would be flying lessons in two days, and he wanted to learn to ride a broomstick first to avoid being embarrassed if he failed to fly well.
I didn’t expect that he was quite talented in flying, and he could ride a broomstick very well.
After searching for half an hour in the vast sea of debris, Xiang Nan finally saw the giant monster specimen, and then five hundred meters southeast of it, he found a large cabinet with blisters on the surface, as if strong acid had been dipped in it.
Xiang Nan quickly landed and climbed onto the crate next to the cabinet. On top of the crate sat an ugly, broken bust of an old wizard.
Xiang Nan moved the bust away. Under the bust, there was a dark wooden box, which looked ordinary among a pile of old clutter.
But Xiang Nan did not underestimate it. He carefully opened the wooden box, and sure enough, there was this eagle-shaped crown inside. The same diadem worn on Rowena Ravenclaw's head in the Ravenclaw common room.
The crown is in the shape of an eagle spreading its wings. The eagle's body is inlaid with a brilliant sapphire, and both wings are inlaid with flawless diamonds. There is also a sentence engraved under the wings, "Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth of mankind."
“Finally found it.” Xiang Nan was overjoyed, then closed the wooden box and carefully put it into his money bag.
He did not choose to try it on rashly. Because this is not only Ravenclaw's crown, but also a Horcrux made by Voldemort. When Voldemort made Horcruxes, he placed a powerful curse on them.
For example, the first Horcrux Notebook can confuse the user and absorb his or her life and soul; the second Horcrux, the Gaunt family's ring, has an extremely powerful curse attached to it that even Dumbledore cannot bear; The device is Slytherin's locket, which can confuse people's hearts, make people depressed, suspicious, and even try to strangle the wearer.
The fourth Horcrux, Hufflepuff's Golden Cup, and the fifth Horcrux, Ravenclaw's Crown, do not have any curses written on them in the book, but Xiang Nan did not dare to try it easily until he found out the curses. .
Otherwise, it would be unlucky if Voldemort took away his body or he was cursed to death.
…
After getting the Ravenclaw diadem, Xiang Nan left the Room of Requirement, then went to the library to borrow a book, and then returned to the Ravenclaw common room.
"Severus, it seems you didn't go to the restaurant for dinner again?" Back in the dormitory, Benjamin and Gregory were playing crackle and explosion cards. They asked with concern after seeing Xiang Nan come back.
Although they had just met Xiang Nan, they were already impressed by Xiang Nan's charm. Not only was he smart, kind, and powerful, all three of them admired him.
"We brought you bread, sausages and eggs from the restaurant, you can just eat some." Joey said as he brought the dinner plate with a cup of hot tea.
“Thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
Although he didn’t need food or drink, he still took the plate and started eating.
"You won't go to the library again, you are already so strong." Gregory said in surprise.
“Yeah, it’s incredible that you worked so **** the first day of school.” Benjamin also said with admiration.
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "By the way, have you done your homework?"
Joy, Benjamin, and Gregory all had a sad look on their faces when they heard this.
Professor Slughorn from the Potions class asked them to write about the pharmacology of the ingredients for the sore-removing potion, and Professor Flitwick from the Charms class asked them to write a paper on the origin of magic, which required at least two pages of parchment.
Since the next Potions class doesn't start until Monday, and the next Charms class doesn't start until Friday, they are all planning to postpone it.
At this moment, I heard a cooing outside the window, and an owl flew through the window and flew to Xiang Nan, with a letter tied to its talons. Xiang Nan decoded the letter, fed the owl some bread crumbs, and then opened the letter.
But it was written to him by his mother, Eileen Prince. Although she felt a little sorry that her son did not enter Slytherin, she still congratulated her son on entering Ravenclaw.
Because Yingyuan is a symbol of wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to enter without a certain amount of talent. She also encouraged her son to study hard and not to bring shame to the Prince family.
Xiang Nan nodded after reading the letter.
He knew that his mother would not mind him entering the Yingyuan. Because she was not a pure-blood supremacist, otherwise she would not have married Muggle Tobias Snape.
At half past eight, Xiang Nan finished his homework, and then Joey, Benjamin, and Gregory all wanted to borrow his homework to copy.
Xiang Nan doesn't mind this. He is not a moral pacesetter who doesn't rub sand in his eyes. For him, copying homework is not a bad thing.
"You can copy the homework, but make some corrections yourself. Don't copy it exactly the same." He warned, and then he held up the heavy "Magic Dictionary" and flipped through it.
This book records the definitions, concepts and usage of tens of thousands of magic texts and is one of the best reference books for learning ancient magic texts.
“Wow, you read such a thick book?” Joey said in surprise.
“Let’s take some time to relax.” Xiang Nan smiled.
“Reading this kind of book for leisure?” Gregory couldn’t laugh or cry.
Joy and Benjamin also found it incredible.
…
At 10:30 in the evening, everyone washes up and rests.
Xiang Nan also went to bed, but continued to read.
He spent one night and finally read the "Magic Dictionary" and memorized it firmly.
After reading this dictionary, he already has a certain level of understanding of magic texts. Just like learning English, if you memorize the entire "Oxford Dictionary", you will basically become an expert.
At eight o'clock, get up, wash up and have breakfast.
Today, they will have Herbology class with Gryffindor and Transfiguration class with Slytherin.
Xiang Nan came to the restaurant with Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others.
Xiang Nan noticed that many people pointed at him, "What happened?" He asked doubtfully.
"Sev, in Charms class yesterday, I heard that you taught two Slytherin students a lesson, and when they attacked you, you successfully fought back?" Prefect Derek Ludwig stepped forward and said, He hugged Xiang Nan's neck enthusiastically and said.
“They really attacked you, why didn’t you mention it?” Gregory said angrily.
Joy and Benjamin were surprised at Xiang Nan's strength. He was actually able to fight back after being attacked by someone. It was really amazing.
“Prefect, how did you know?” Xiang Nan asked doubtfully.
"Everyone in the school hates Slytherin. Seeing their frustration, everyone is naturally happy for you." Derek explained with a smile, "Well done, you have to let those snakes know how powerful our Eagle Academy is. "
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded. Although he felt that they were a bit naive, it was better to be popular than to be hated.
