The house deed was successfully found, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved. Everyone did not touch those obviously dangerous black magic items and other weird collections.
Led by Griphook, they returned the same way.
After another half an hour, the car finally returned to the ground after running wildly.
Breathing the fresh air, looking at the familiar buildings on Diagon Alley and Professor Lupine who greeted him with a smile, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione all had a feeling of being reborn and returning to the world. Although I didn't see the wealth of the Black family as expected, the location of the vault and the countless secrets deep underground in Gringotts are exciting enough.
The three of them discussed with Lupine what they saw and heard in the depths of the ground, the fire dragon chained, the island in the rolling lava, the vault of the pure-blood wizard family thousands of years ago, and so on.
Among them, Ivan is most interested in the vault with the number one and the Slater family emblem.
He was sure there was some connection between the ornamentation on the vault door and the odd ornamentation on the Slytherin locket in his arms.
One more point, about the key to the secret treasure left by the Big Four.
Aiwen once speculated about the hints about the location of the key.
From the meaning of the text, since Gryffindor's treasure key is kept in the centaur tribe, then the Slytherin key is likely to be hidden in Gringotts by the goblins, in the mysterious vault I just saw in.
Now the question is how to confirm this and get the key out? !
It is impossible to ask the goblin for questioning, and breaking into Gringotts directly is even more courting death.
Ivan thought for a while, if the key to Slytherin's treasure was really in Gringotts, he still had to start with the vampire girl named Elaine and his family.
Even vampires are descendants of the Slytherin family.
Like Voldemort, they were both legal heirs to the vault by blood.
While Ivan was thinking about this, Lupine told Harry and Hermione about the magic that the goblin arranged in Gringotts, and the weakness of the fire dragon that everyone had just seen.
Sirius followed, not participating in the conversation.
Whether it was the wildly bouncing cart or the empty vault, he didn't look too happy.
He stared at the front blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Harry and Hermione quickly noticed the situation, and they exchanged disturbed glances, worried faces, and the atmosphere fell silent.
Hermione poked Ivan lightly, motioning him to turn his head to look at Sirius.
Ai Wen turned around in surprise, he could completely understand what Sirius looked like now.
Although Sirius said that he didn't care about those treasures and gold, after all, it was the wealth accumulated by the Black family for centuries, passed down from generation to generation, and now it all became the property of other families.
No matter who encounters this kind of thing, they will be unhappy.
In particular, it was Sirius' mother who distributed these properties. She would rather trust his two cousins than leave something to her own son.
If Aiwen himself encountered such a thing, he would die of sadness.
"Sirius," Harry called out worriedly.
"I'm fine, I just remembered some unpleasant memories!" Sirius took a deep breath of cold air, pulled himself together, and participated in their conversation, "What Remus just said is right, the weakness of dragons lies in their eyes, and they can Hit that place with an Eye Sickness Charm or something to make them recoil in pain. Besides, each Charmander has a particularly fragile scale on it, and if you want to slay a dragon"
They said as they walked that Sirius appeared to be fully recovered.
Before heading back to the Leaky Cauldron for lunch, we decided to take a look at 36 Diagon Alley.
They left the main road and turned into a narrow, backlit street that hadn't been cleared for a long time and was knee-deep at its deepest point.
The streets are very depressed, and all the shops are not open for business.
Only one small, shabby shop was open, and an old wizard with two big light-colored eyes was sweeping the snow in front of the shop. The gold lettering on his head had peeled off, and it read: Olivan Germany, has been making excellent wands since 382 BC.
Ivan was very surprised to see Mr. Ollivander.
He was the same as the last time he saw it, without any change.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Ollivander!" Everyone hurried forward to say hello.
"Good afternoon, everyone, nice to meet you!" Ollivander raised his head, his light-colored pupils flashed across the faces of the five people one by one, staying on Ivan and Harry for the longest time, and finally falling on the little one. On Sirius, "Sirius Black, it's such a pleasure to see you again, it's been more than twenty years since we last saw each other, I didn't think I'd have this chance"
"Oh, yes, I also thought that I had no chance to return to Diagon Alley." Sirius said happily, "You have read the recent reports. With the help of these three children, I have been proved is innocent."
"Of course, of course!" Ollivander said happily, "East Aoki, twelve inches long, is good at using transfiguration magic, right?"
"That's right, but that wand was broken when I was caught by the Ministry of Magic twelve years ago." Sirius pulled out the wand and said regretfully, "That's a good wand, I Now this one is not as easy to use as the previous one.”
"Of course not, it's resisting your power!" Ollivander walked over and said softly, "This wand doesn't belong to you, I don't know where you got it. It's mine Grandpa's work, very old craftsmanship, elm and dragon's nerves, a bit tough, in that era, the materials on dragons were very rare, and only the wealthiest pure-blood wizard families could afford to buy them"
Ollivander took the wand from Sirius, observed it carefully, and told the pros and cons of the wand and its history, as if appreciating a certain work of art.
"Mr. Ollivander?!"
"Oh, yes!" Ollivander returned the wand in his hand to Sirius, "This wand is great, but it is not suitable for you! If you can, I suggest you go to my store to choose another wand .”
"I don't think it's necessary. I'm no longer a young wizard who has just grown up. I can handle any wand skillfully." Sirius said conceitedly.
"That's such a pity!" Ollivander continued, "You know, it's the wand that chooses the wizard, and using someone else's wand will affect your own power."
"Mr. Ollivander is right, you really should change to a wand." Ivan persuaded, he knew the importance of wands to wizards.
For a wizard, using someone else's wand will be extremely uncomfortable, affecting the power of the spell and the transmission of magic power. A powerful wand can even resist the will of the user.
In the original book, it was for this reason that Voldemort resisted using the Killing Curse on its real master, Harry, with the Elder Wand in his hand, and finally died for no apparent reason.
This is also the reason for Sirius. He has been running away in the original book, and it is impossible to pick a wand that belongs to him. He must be using this wand that belongs to one of his ancestors like now.
When he dueled with Bellatrix, because of the magic wand, he was unable to exert his true strength, and was finally defeated and lost his life.
For Sirius, in order to cope with the dangers he will face in the future, it is very necessary to change a wand.
"Sirius, since Mr. Ollivander and Ivan both said so, go and change your wand," Harry said with concern.
"No need, I can control this wand!" Sirius replied stubbornly.
"That's only temporary, as time goes by, it will affect you more and more." Ollivander said softly, "The core of this wand is the nerve of the dragon, you know, the dragon is a kind of power Very strong creatures, they don't obey at will"
Hearing Ollivander's words, Harry hurriedly shouted, "Sirius!"
"Well, well, I can come back later when I have time!" Sirius put his arm around Harry's shoulders and said in a soft voice, "Don't you guys remember? We are going to the shop now, I have to go to the hospital to visit the Weasley boy in a while, so I can't waste time here."
"It won't take much time, we can wait for you in the shop." Aiwen pointed to a very dilapidated house not far from the wand shop and said, "I saw the house number, that's No. 36 Diagon Alley!" (.)
