The Admiral of Hogwarts

“Yes, and more than one.” Radiant delivered news that Hugo found very satisfactory.

“According to our discussion, we have now formulated two ways to destroy this Horcrux. The final decision on which method to choose will be yours, and we will execute it according to your orders.”

Radiant then explained the solutions they had discussed. The faster of the two methods was to have Saint George receive Radiant's blessing and then directly shatter the diadem with a single strike.

Once the object it relies on is lost, the fragment of Voldemort's soul connected to it will also be destroyed. The entire process can be said to be very simple and straightforward.

“If we use this method, we can get it done in ten minutes.” Saint George chimed in through the Admiral Network, “Because after being blessed by Radiant, my sword will be no less powerful than the Sword of Gryffindor after absorbing the Basilisk's venom, so I guarantee a single strike will solve the problem.”

“Hmm—that certainly sounds like a very simple method.” After hearing the first proposal, Hugo said, “By the way, you mentioned earlier that there was a second option, can you tell me what that is?”

“The second option is slower, it might take a whole year.” Indomitable said at this time.

“If we follow the second option, then Radiant and Saint George will take turns placing the diadem in their ship装 space under my guidance, and then slowly erode the soul fragment inside with their holy light.”

“The biggest advantage of this method is that it can completely preserve Ravenclaw's Diadem, but because of this, Saint George and Radiant will need to use holy light to gradually remove Voldemort's soul, which is almost integrated with the diadem. Therefore, it will also consume a lot of time.”

“What are your thoughts on this matter?” Hugo suddenly asked. Although ship girls are obedient to the Admiral, they all have their own independent thoughts.

So Hugo felt that before making a decision, he should ask the ship girls who would be responsible for the specific operation what they thought.

“We actually prefer the second method.” After a few seconds of silence, Radiant said to Hugo.

“After all, this thing is not only a valuable antique, but also a legendary and very powerful magical artifact. More importantly, this thing is also a very beautiful piece of jewelry. It would be a pity to destroy it like this.”

“Your thoughts are similar to mine.” After hearing the ship girls' opinions on this matter, Hugo said, “And no matter what, I am a Ravenclaw student now, so it is not appropriate to destroy the most important relic left by the first Dean of my house.”

“Ah, so everyone has the same idea, that's great.” After hearing Hugo say this, the Admiral Network transmitted the sound of the ship girls on the other side cheering and applauding softly.

From the sound, it could be heard that in addition to Radiant, there were several other British ship girls present.

Soon, the matter was decided. If there were no accidents, Hugo would be able to obtain a cleansed Ravenclaw's Diadem by next summer vacation.

The next morning, as Hugo's first day off at Hogwarts, he originally planned to go see Hagrid with Veneto and Hermione.

As a result, after they finished breakfast, they ran into Roger Davies, the Chaser of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. Or rather, Davies was specifically waiting to intercept Veneto in the Great Hall.

Because Ravenclaw had won the Quidditch House Cup last year, which was a rare occurrence, the Ravenclaw team was clearly in high spirits this year. So, on the first weekend of the school year, they pulled out the school's Quidditch team to recruit new players and conduct the first training session of the new semester.

“Seriously, it's such a waste of your strength if you don't play Quidditch.” Davies lowered his head and looked earnestly into Veneto's eyes. “Believe me, when you gallop on the field, you will discover your own desire for flying——”

“I hate those flying guys the most in my life—and I'm not an aircraft carrier like Aquila and the others.” Veneto muttered in a voice that only Hugo could hear, then raised her head and said, “Okay, I promise I can try it, but if it's not suitable——”

Obviously, after five or six minutes of incessant persuasion, Veneto felt that it would be better to demonstrate for the Ravenclaw team on the field, otherwise she was worried that the team members would stick to her like leeches.

“If it's not suitable, I guarantee we will never bother you again.” Hearing Veneto agree, Davies snapped his fingers happily, then led Veneto towards the Quidditch pitch.

Watching Veneto leave, Hugo and Hermione also decided to watch the Quidditch team's tryouts.

“I seem to have heard people say that everyone fights over the pitch on the first training day of each school year.” While walking towards the Quidditch pitch, Veneto raised her head and asked Roger. “But it seems like Slytherin always wins, because Professor Snape writes them a note.”

“Uh—that's true, I have to say Snape is too biased.” Roger shrugged helplessly, then he raised his eyebrows and said. “Of course, we also have a secret weapon this year. I heard the Captain got Professor Lockhart's autograph yesterday.”

“Sounds really impressive. Cho told me the day before yesterday that the Quidditch team has been trying to get Professor Flitwick's signature for the past few years to help occupy the field, but Professor Flitwick has always politely refused.” Hearing Roger say this, Hermione suddenly said.

“Actually, it's not that difficult.” Roger scratched his hair, “Professor Gilderoy Lockhart is very willing to sign for us. Or rather, I think he would be willing to sign anything that can last for a while!”

“Oh—it's that guy again.” Hearing this, Hugo and Hermione exchanged glances. At the same time, they saw a strong sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Soon, Hugo and the other three followed Roger to the edge of the Quidditch pitch. They found a group of Gryffindors and a group of Slytherins standing there arguing about something, while a few Ravenclaw students stood aside and watched them from a distance.

“What's happening over there? And why are we standing here?” After joining the Ravenclaw students, Hugo and the others greeted everyone, then Hermione asked Cho Chang, who was obviously there to try out for the team.

“Ah, they are fighting over the pitch. And we are waiting for them to decide a winner before going over to discuss the issue of pitch ownership with them. After all, Slytherins and Gryffindors always have fierce conflicts when they get together, and it is not appropriate for us to get involved at this time.” Cho Chang gave a very Ravenclaw answer.

“Okay, then let's wait a little longer.” After speaking, Hugo and the others stood there like the other Ravenclaw students, and then began to watch the conflict between Slytherin and Gryffindor.
