In a corner of the Room of Requirement, Albert was standing quietly in a daze. Everyone who knew him knew that this was how he looked when he was thinking about something, and even he himself admitted it.
After all, no one could guess the truth, Albert was actually immersed in his own panel.
After coming to his senses, Albert immediately turned his eyes away from the troll specimen. He had finally found the time to come here, so naturally he could not give up exploring this place. He also planned to continue searching for other interesting items, and he did not forget that he came here to find the Ravenclaw crown.
However, according to the vague memory in my mind, I only vaguely remember that the Horcrux should be worn on the head of a half-length plaster statue. However, this is the only clue. Sometimes it really depends on luck whether you can find the Ravenclaw crown.
As soon as he moved his feet, Albert's attention was attracted by another object. Somewhere in front of him on the right side, there was a large mirror with a golden frame and two claw-shaped brackets underneath.
Albert walked quickly towards the large mirror, raised his wand and chanted a descaling spell on the surface of the mirror, removing most of the dust on the mirror.
"Eris... Magic Mirror," he muttered, looking at the letters on the frame.
That’s right, it should be the magic mirror, which is said to be able to show the most urgent and strongest desires in the heart of the person in front of the mirror.
"What do I desire most?" Albert looked at himself in the mirror curiously. Then, he found that himself in the mirror was holding an eagle-shaped crown.
It was... the diadem of Ravenclaw.
"Although I do want to find the crown, this shouldn't be the thing I want most, right?" Albert resisted the urge to complain. Originally, he thought he would see himself in the mirror hugging several beauties, or standing on a mountain of gold coins, or at least stepping on Voldemort and holding the Elder Wand.
So what does it mean to hold the Ravenclaw diadem? A desire for knowledge? A desire to make yourself smarter
"Is this really what I desire most? Or is it what I desire most at the moment?"
Albert looked away in disappointment and fixed his eyes on the frame at the top of the magic mirror, where a line of letters was engraved: "erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oytwohsi" (Eris, Stella, Öhru, Ait Ube, Cafru, Aiton, Vorhees).
The magic mirror takes its name from the first word, erised.
Readers who have carefully read the Harry Potter novels know that the line of letters engraved on the frame at the top of the Mirror of Erised needs to be read upside down.
Albert moved his eyes behind the letters and read out softly: "i show not your face but your heart's desire", which means "I show not your face but your heart's desire".
"Desire? Could it be that I don't have any desire? No, I'm not a saint, how could I not have desire?" Albert suddenly grinned, "Sure enough, the magic mirror can't reflect a bunch of illusory panel experience and skill points!"
Yes, isn’t panel experience and skill points what you desire most
Isn't it just for these intangible things that we take risks to find Voldemort's Horcruxes
Thinking of this, Albert suddenly felt like laughing again. "To some extent, the Ravenclaw crown reflected in the magic mirror is not wrong."
After all, finding the Horcrux means a lot of tasks, experience and skill points.
This is what he desires most!
After walking on the garbage path for a while, Albert felt that he was about to get lost in the garbage mountain. A slingshot with wings flew past him. He targeted it and was hit by a freezing spell, then fell from mid-air.
"What a strange thing." Albert walked over, bent down and picked up the slingshot from the ground, looked at it, pulled it, and finally used his magic wand to turn a piece of debris next to him into a projectile. He tried the power of the slingshot, but he soon discovered the use of the slingshot. The projectiles shot out seemed to be released with tracking magic, and could accurately bypass objects and hit the target.
"A slingshot with magic released, interesting, probably a toy from Zuko's joke shop, good for playing pranks on people." Albert muttered to himself, and soon his mind was full of ideas, wondering if this technology could be applied to bows and arrows, and the archer would become a sharpshooter in a matter of minutes? If it was applied to firearms, could it be used to take a person's head from a thousand meters away
Well, this slingshot is pretty good and worth studying.
Albert used a descaling spell to remove the dust from the surface of the slingshot, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe it before putting it in the pocket of his robe.
After walking around in the garbage dump, Albert found a tattered Quidditch box in a corner. When he opened it, he discovered that the Quidditch props inside were all in tatters. One of the bats even had only the grip section left. God knows what happened to it.
The two Bludgers were also broken, and the only ghost ball was relatively intact, but it also looked a bit shabby.
Albert's attention was attracted by the golden snitch. When he picked up the rusty golden snitch, he found that it had lost one of its wings.
The Golden Snitch's other wing can still be used, but after losing one wing, it can no longer fly normally.
A damaged golden snitch is very attractive to Albert. The craftsmanship of the golden snitch is actually very high. It is said that in order to determine who catches it first, this thing also has physical memory ability.
If this physical memory ability is applied to the treasure house, can't you easily create a secret treasure house of your own
Dumbledore actually did that.
By the way, why do I look like a piece of junk in a garbage dump
This style of painting is wrong!
Ahem, calling this place a garbage dump doesn’t seem quite appropriate.
Anyway, Voldemort's Horcrux is hidden here. Obviously, the Dark Lord would not hide his Horcrux in a garbage dump.
Sure enough, this place should be called the Treasure House. Yes, it should be called the Treasure House! It contains items from Hogwarts that have been there for thousands of years, and he is the one who is looking for treasure in the Treasure House.
No one knows what they can find in this treasure house. It may be worthless garbage, an extremely precious Ravenclaw relic, or a Horcrux that will take your life.
No matter what he finds, Albert's exploration and treasure hunt will continue. He walks into the maze with light steps, continuing to look for a bust wearing a crown.
Maybe, people who like to smile will never have bad luck; maybe, Merlin's beard is protecting him; or maybe, the fragments of Voldemort's soul can no longer be restrained.
Albert suddenly stopped, held his breath, pricked up his ears and listened carefully. In the distance, he heard vague whispers.
At that moment, Albert felt as if his soul was trembling, and the whispering in his ear disappeared, replaced by his own heavy breathing.
It was getting closer, very close, the Horcrux was nearby, it was luring him, yes, Voldemort's Horcrux was luring him in through whispering.
At this moment, Albert suddenly wanted to laugh. He knew that Voldemort's Horcrux was tempting him, but wasn't this also delivering himself to his door
It also saves you the trouble of looking for Horcruxes!
However, that was Voldemort's Horcrux, and Albert did not dare to be careless at all. There was a case of Kino's accident later, so he had to be extremely vigilant. He pulled out the wand from the pocket of his robe, and began to look around, carefully examining the surrounding objects, looking for the source of the whispering.
Albert walked slowly and carefully through the area, however, the whispers in his ears were getting closer and closer.
There it was, right there in front, on top of that old, blistered cabinet, where sat a pockmarked bust of a wizard with a dusty old wig and... an old, faded crown.
That was the Ravenclaw Diadem... Voldemort's Horcrux, and he actually found it.
Albert could no longer hide the excitement on his face.
At this moment, he was certain that the whispering in his ear was coming from the crown, tempting him to pick up the crown and put it on his head.
As long as you wear the Ravenclaw crown, you can become more wise.
Albert instinctively reached out to touch the crown, but he stopped moving forward and lowered his raised arm. He listened carefully to the whispers in his ears and laughed like crazy, almost crying.
"Interesting!" Albert murmured after he stopped laughing, "If it were an ordinary student, he would probably really not be able to resist trying on the crown. After all, no one would be willing to miss the opportunity to experience the intellectual improvement brought by the Ravenclaw crown, or even take it for themselves under the temptation of the Horcrux."
"Come, let me take a picture of you." Albert stepped back, raised the camera hanging around his neck, and took a picture of the wizard's bust and the old faded crown on his head.
Then, Albert retreated a dozen steps, looked for some eye-catching coordinates around him, and took a few photos in succession. Only when he retreated to the entrance did he check the new task that appeared on the panel:
Evil whispers.
You hear whispers that are tempting you to fall. The thing that whispers is most likely an evil dark magic item. Although you don't know what it is, you have realized that it may be extremely dangerous and are ready to try to figure out what it is.
Reward: 10,000 experience points, and a random magic that you haven't mastered yet.
"Great." Albert stared at the task board and whispered, "That's a Horcrux, Voldemort's Horcrux."
When he finished saying this, the task was automatically completed.
Albert did not choose to complete the task, but continued to check the remaining tasks:

"What's the point of me wanting the ghost's favor?" Albert couldn't help but complain, "Could it be that after the favorability is full, Ms. Grey will fulfill one of my wishes?"

"Great, he is worthy of being the final boss. Such rich rewards." Albert looked at the task information on the panels that appeared and couldn't help swallowing. His previous efforts were not in vain.
As for how to complete these tasks, don’t we have the iron-headed savior Potter
Confront Voldemort head-on, attract firepower, and fight against him.
Harry in the novel has always done an excellent job. The most important thing is that the task does not require Albert to do it himself, and it is actually not bad to complete the task lying down.
Reaching out and patting his cheek to put his facial expression back into place, Albert pushed open the door and walked out of the Room of Requirement. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he walked happily around the castle, even smiling and saying hello to Peeves on the way, leaving Peeves looking puzzled.
After taking a few more photos in the castle, Albert happily returned to the common room, where Fred, George and Lee Jordan were still doing their homework.
"Albert seems to be in a good mood." George looked at Albert's back as he disappeared at the dormitory entrance, and suddenly said to the two people beside him.
"Maybe something good happened!" Fred said without raising his head.
"To be honest, this is the first time I see him like this." George couldn't suppress his curiosity. He stood up, packed his things, and chased after Albert's back.
"Why don't you go and take a look? Maybe something good will happen." Li Jordan also packed up his things and followed George back to the dormitory.
Fred looked up and found that his two roommates had run away. He immediately put away the homework on the table and quickly caught up with them.
The three of them soon knew that something good had happened to Albert, but Albert did not tell them directly what it was.
