A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

Hermione looked carefully at the golden cup in the old wizard's hand, which had the coat of arms of Hufflepuff House clearly engraved on it.

She asked in surprise: "Is this the relic of Helga Hufflepuff? But why is it in the underground vault?"

Helga is the founder of Hufflepuff House. In "Hogwarts, a School History", the role of the Gold Cup is clearly recorded.

The golden cup abides by the rules of magic and cannot conjure food out of thin air. However, it can assist house elves as a vessel for transporting food.

It has the magical ability to preserve food and has an endless capacity. Perhaps originally, it was used to store wine.

The history of the Gold Cup is now unknown, but it was kept in Hufflepuff College for a long time until Helga's death and then disappeared from the wizarding world.

"Is that Helga's vault?" Hermione looked back at the ancient door.

Rogge shook his head and explained: "No, it is the treasury of the Lestrange family. I obtained the treasury from another person through some transactions."

"That must be an extraordinary transaction." Grindelwald looked at Rogge curiously, "It's hard to imagine what kind of bargaining chips would allow other wizards to hand over such a huge amount of wealth without hesitation."

"Knowledge is priceless." Rogge said bluntly, "I still feel that that knowledge is sold at a low price."

Grindelwald stared at Rogge thoughtfully, although the young wizard did not reveal the identity of the transaction partner. But judging from the signs of the Golden Cup Horcrux, it is very likely that it is the wizard named Voldemort.

Although he has not yet seen Voldemort with his own eyes, an opponent who can give Albus a headache must have unfathomable magical attainments.

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of knowledge could make a Dark Lord willing to make a deal. What's even stranger is, why can Rogge master this knowledge?

"Hermione, you said it is a relic of Hufflepuff House?" Grindelwald confirmed to Hermione, and when Hermione nodded, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Can you introduce me to the relics of other colleges?"

"There are four houses in Hogwarts. Gryffindor left behind a sword, symbolizing courage; Ravenclaw left behind a crown, symbolizing wisdom. As for what Slytherin left behind, the book does not There is no record." Hermione said and looked at Rogge, "Rogge, have you heard of Salazar's relics in Slytherin?"

"There are no relics of his in the academy, and the only legacy is the basilisk." Rogge smacked his lips and couldn't help but miss the taste of magic hot pot.

"Back then, he had a conflict with other founders, left the secret room and never came back. If there are relics similar to the golden cup, there is a high probability that it will be in the hands of his descendants."

"Riddle?" Hermione immediately thought of the notebook that was burned to ashes, "According to the mechanism of opening the Chamber of Secrets, he is a descendant of Slytherin."

When Grindelwald heard the name, he showed a genuine expression and said, "It seems that my guess is right. Souls are always picky, and ordinary items cannot carry them. Have other relics disappeared as well?"

"Yes, I've never seen a sword in Gryffindor."

Before Hermione finished speaking, Rogge drew out his sword.

Gerdlock stared at the Sword of Gryffindor with bright eyes. This was a magical weapon forged by their fairies, but it was a pity that it was usurped by wizards. It couldn't help but rub its hands and looked at Rogge greedily.

This sword used to be in Hogwarts, where the wizards were too powerful and they didn't dare to get it back. Now that the sword is in the hands of the little wizard, it's time to take it back...take it back.

"Having occupied it for so long, they must pay the overdue fee! There is also interest!" Gerdlock thought in his mind, and added sternly: "Of course it is compound interest! It can't be less than 800 years!"

Hermione looked at Rogge in surprise and asked in disbelief: "This was the sword you used in the Forbidden Forest last year? How could this sword be in your hand?"

"The principal gave it to me personally." Rogge responded, looking calmly at Grindelwald's inspection. He handed over the sword in his hand and simply asked him to check it.

"Actually, many people in Hogwarts have seen it, and it has always been in the Sorting Hat."

"What? The Sorting Hat!" Hermione exclaimed, "That's the old hat we wore when we entered school?"

She looked at the sharp sword and couldn't help but be stunned. They never expected that this sword would once hang above their heads, so close to them.

"Can I see it?" Hermione asked curiously.

Grindelwald handed the sword to Hermione and fell into deep thought.

At first, he believed that Voldemort had turned all the relics from the four houses into Horcruxes. But looking at it now, it's not all.

On the way back, Roger remained silent. It wasn't until we parted at the Leaky Cauldron that he asked, "What are you going to use it for?"

"Use it to find other Horcruxes."

Rogge stared at Grindelwald and was silent for a long time before speaking: "Be careful, I don't want the future professor of Hogwarts to die before he joins the job."

"Is this considered concern?" Grindelwald laughed, "It's really a touching mockery."

Rogge's cheeks turned red when Grindelwald revealed the truth. He quickly adjusted his mood and said in a serious tone: "When I was in first grade, I saw Voldemort's soul."

"Oh? You must be very impressed by making a deal with the Dark Lord." Grindelwald's tone was teasing.

"Just by the way." Rogge nodded and continued: "I asked him at that time if the consciousness in the Horcrux was erased, could it be turned into a pure auxiliary tool."

"It's a really dark and imaginative question." Grindelwald couldn't help sighing, "Treating the wizard's soul into a pure tool, like a trained puppy, obeying the will of its master."

He cast an admiring look at Rogge, "You are competing for business with the God of Death."

"How about giving it a try at Hogwarts?" Grindelwald handed the gold cup to Rogge, "I think you will be able to replicate my feat and be expelled from the school."

"I'm a good student." Rogge said without blushing, "Let's make a deal."

"Like what you did with Voldemort?"

"That's right. I am a kind person and follow the principle of equal exchange." Rogge spoke calmly and looked at Grindelwald.

"Speak, child, for your concern just now."

"Erase its consciousness and I'll tell you where the next Horcrux is."

"This is not possible." Grindelwald shook his head, "The deal is too unfair."

He turned to look at Harry, who was over there with the Weasleys, and pretended to sniff the air with his nose: "He also has the aura of the Gold Cup on him."

"It's not Harry." Rogge shook his head, "When you go to Hogwarts to teach, I will tell you the whereabouts of the other Horcrux."

"Let me guess." Grindelwald smiled and said: "Since it is in Hogwarts, it is most likely a relic of a certain founder.

I have seen the gold cup and the sword, and the rest are the relics of Slytherin and Ravenclaw. "

"Corona, right? That's not hard to guess. Does Albus know?"

Roger shrugged, looking indifferent. Ravenclaw's diadem is hidden in the Room of Requirement, and the Headmaster has also visited that magical space.

But to this day, no one has discovered where Voldemort hid the diadem.

"Why don't you write a letter and ask the principal?"

"Forget it." Grindelwald played with the golden cup and said in a leisurely tone: "What a greedy little guy."

Either he or Albus had the ability to destroy this Horcrux. As a result, this magical item carrying the soul will also be destroyed.

However, the little wizard in front of him not only wanted Hufflepuff's golden cup, but also longed for an unconscious soul. Apart from greed, Grindelwald could not find any other words to describe Rogge.

Hearing this, Rogge raised the corner of his mouth slightly and denied, "I'm not greedy, I'm just frugal. By the way, I can also protect the legacy of Hogwarts."

There was a sense of relief in his expression: "The Hufflepuff Gold Cup is such a precious magical item after all. Wouldn't it be wiser to use it for a nobler purpose?"

"Moreover, it can also promote the development of magic, why not?"

"Ha, your logic is so unique that I almost believed it." Grindelwald chuckled, "But, I agreed, and I will treat you as an old man playing games with you."

"Hope your thrifting will bring us good luck."

"Don't worry, good luck will continue." Rogge said with confidence.
