Starting Over at Hogwarts

Lost the Quidditch match.

This didn't stop the Hufflepuff students from celebrating.

Because the Hufflepuff Quidditch team has a future star.

Since Hogwarts has issued a notice to all the houses in advance, all students in the entire school will go home tomorrow or find a place to spend the Christmas vacation. It just so happens that the last dinner of the year will be held in the school tonight.

Somewhat strangely.

As the headmaster, Dumbledore and Severus Snape, the head of Slytherin House, did not stay long. The two men only showed up at the dinner and left the great hall directly.

Professor Minerva McGonagall hosted the entire dinner. The vice-principal was a little lucky that the Weasley twins from his own house and Wesson Wright from Hufflepuff House did not cause any trouble.

The only problem was Hagrid.

This hybrid giant has been pleading with Wesen Wright to continue to foster the ice crystal phoenix Anivia at Hogwarts during the holidays, hoping to be allowed to awaken Anivia. It just so happens that this time is also right, let an ice crystal phoenix The phoenix can fly freely in the sky, which is what a breeder should do.

Professor Minerva McGonagall was nearly frightened to death by Hagrid's idea.

The winter brought by the ice phoenix Anivia is not the same as the normal winter. The last time the Weasley brothers rashly awakened the ice phoenix, Hogwarts had not learned enough lessons from being almost frozen. ?

"Actually, this is not a big trouble..."

While listening to Professor McGonagall lecture Hagrid, Weissen Wright defended his pet: "If Anivia's environment is not suitable for its life, it will actively release its magic power to change the environment; now is its final time. My favorite winter is also the only season when Anivia can be free and active..."

"At least not now."

Professor Minerva McGonagall refused to let up on the matter.

Because this is no small thing.

What if that ice crystal phoenix destroys the defensive barrier of Hogwarts again?

Rubeus Hagrid and Wesson Wright do not know that Dumbledore will carry out a plan to trap Peter Pettigrew during Christmas, and nothing can hinder the execution of the plan.

Because Operation Christmas concerns the future of the entire magical world.

However, what Professor Minerva McGonagall didn't know was that Dumbledore was hesitant to implement the Christmas plan because Dumbledore and Snape were looking at a treasure in the headmaster's room.

Ravenclaw's diadem.

It might have been very difficult for anyone else to find Ravenclaw's diadem, but as the headmaster of the school, Dumbledore knew who he should ask, so he found Rowena Ravenclaw's daughter, Lady Grey.

At Dumbledore's request, this ghost who was active in Ravenclaw House told Dumbledore the story of Ravenclaw's diadem, including who had once fallen into the hands of Ravenclaw's diadem.

result…

Dumbledore got the bad news that his former student Voldemort, Tom Riddle, had already used dark magic to defile Ravenclaw's diadem, which also meant that this treasure was made into a soul by Voldemort. device.

Originally, Dumbledore wanted to use the guy created by his friend Nico Flamel as bait to lure Peter Pettigrew into taking the bait. However, now this plan may need to be changed.

Because of a fake...

It may not be possible to induce Peter Pettigrew to take action.

"Peter is looking for it too..."

Dumbledore looked at the crown on his desk and asked Snape beside him in a deep voice: "Severus, do you think Peter is looking for the treasure or the Horcrux made by Tom?"

"It's obvious."

Professor Snape glanced at the crown on the table and explained calmly: "That guy even knows the specific number of Horcruxes. I don't think he doesn't know the fate of the crown..."

Theoretically, only Lady Gray and Voldemort knew that Ravenclaw's diadem was a Horcrux, but Peter Pettigrew couldn't make a reasonable guess. Who knows whether that guy would know?

Snape preferred that Peter Pettigrew knew all the Horcruxes.

"Are you going to get rid of this Horcrux?"

Snape glanced at Dumbledore, who was pondering next to him, and continued: "I think maybe we can wait a little longer, because this can easily arouse the vigilance of the mysterious man..."

The Horcrux is right in front of you.

Snape didn't dare to take things like this lightly.

"He should have known about it when we found the Horcrux."

Dumbledore shook his head, sighed softly and said: "I didn't want to deal with it at this time, because Peter is also searching for Voldemort's Horcruxes. Perhaps only Horcruxes can attract his appearance. We can't let him." Got nothing…”

Dumbledore felt a little heavy.

They originally thought that the Christmas plan might go well, but they didn't expect that before the Christmas plan even started, they would have to use Voldemort's Horcrux, which they had finally found, as bait.

"Are you going to go ahead with that Christmas plan?"

Snape couldn't help but frown, and said in a low voice: "You know if such a Horcrux of a mysterious person is spread, if it causes any trouble..."

"Severus."

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully and stated his reasons: "We must do this. For the safety of the school, this will be an opportunity. Letting Peter go is also a very dangerous thing... In fact, there is no need to worry, Most people in this world have never even heard of the existence of Horcruxes."

Except for old wizards like them, many middle-aged wizards may not have heard of the existence of Horcruxes. Because creating Horcruxes is extremely evil black magic, these books have been banned by Hogwarts.

"So be it."

Dumbledore made up his mind and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, when the students are leaving school for the holidays, I will let the owl send out all the invitations. I believe Peter will get the news soon."

One of the invitations to view and study the Ravenclaw Diadem was sent to Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet. This reporter, who was born in Ravenclaw, would definitely comment on her house’s crown in the newspaper. The tiara's big write-up means that the entire wizarding world will soon know that Hogwarts has recovered Ravenclaw's diadem.

"Hopefully that guy will take the bait..."

Snape could only hope that Dumbledore's plan would go well.

There is no doubt that the person Snape hates the most in the world is Peter Pettigrew. The mastermind behind Lily's death made the Head of Slytherin hate him to the core.

"Snape, don't be impulsive."

Dumbledore frowned and reminded softly: "Our real plan is not in Godric's Hollow, but in Hogwarts. Don't let anger lose your mind... According to Peter's wisdom, he chose Ravenclaw. The possibility of a crown is very low, and the possibility of appearing in Hogwarts is the highest."
