The Dark Wizard of Hogwarts

Rey, who calmed down, left Hogwarts by Apparating and returned to Fastey Manor.

Marvolo Gaunt was Voldemort's grandfather, so people of that era should have asked someone older.

If you are looking for an older person, Pixie Sparkle is a good candidate.

Elf is a very long-lived creature, so Winky's actual age is much older than Rey, and it must be around one or two hundred years old.

Older people have experienced more things, so where is Marvolo Gaunt's old house, Rey thinks that if he asks Winky about this question, there should be unexpected results.

When Rey Apparates into the Manor's study, Pixie Sparkle is wiping the dust off the bookshelf with a rag.

Elf is very serious about doing things, especially housework. She sighed again on the already clean bookshelf, and vigorously wiped and wiped the place that she felt was not clean.

Ray's sudden appearance of Apparation made Winky stunned for a moment, but she was immediately excited when she saw that it was her master.

"Oh, master, I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Winky saw Rey who suddenly appeared, and immediately stopped wiping the bookshelf in her hand.

"Winky, you're here right now, I have something to ask you." Rey nodded and said immediately.

Fastie Manor is very big, and it is quite troublesome to call individuals. Rey didn't expect Winky to be by his side as soon as he came back, which saved him a lot of time.

"Good master, you can ask anything, as long as Winky knows, I will answer you truthfully." Winky said to herself, while bowing and saluting.

Such a respectful wink made Rey a little uncomfortable.

Usually, Rey is a very easy-going person, and he also asks Winky not to salute everything. But now that Winky is saluting like this, it is possible that she wants to do something without her consent.

Regardless of why Winky was so respectful, Rey asked straight to the point, "Winky, do you know where Marvolo Gaunt's old house is?"

"Answer my master, Marvolo Gaunt, is that the descendant of Slytherin, the ancient wizarding pureblood family?" Winky bowed and looked up at Rey, adding that she deliberately added when she answered. prefix.

This respectful gesture and prefix made it very awkward to hear, and Rey couldn't help frowning. I really don't understand what happened to the flash today?

"Yes, that's right." Rey resisted the discomfort in his heart, nodded and replied.

"Well, answer my master..." Winky put down her raised head and continued to answer in a bowed posture.

"Okay Winky, can you tell me now why you are so respectful?"

Rey directly interrupted Winky's answer. He was so respected by others that he was really uncomfortable. The key is that Winky is not like this on weekdays.

"Oh, Master, thank you for your kindness..."

"Winky, I don't have time to bullshit you, now you can either say what you want to do or answer the question I just asked."

Rey took a deep breath, his patience was indeed being worn out by the little elf Winky.

"Good master, the old house of the Gaunt family is naturally at Gaunt Manor." Winky finally straightened up, blinked happily with big eyes, and said to Ray.

Rey: "..."

After repeated inquiries, Rey finally knew the exact location of Gaunt Manor: on a hill outside London.

Winky knew the exact location, and she led the way. Using Apparition, the two soon arrived at the old house of the Gaunt family.

Gaunt Manor, a manor independent of the mountain, really shows its loneliness and domineering style.

but,

When Rey and Winky appeared here, Rey was stunned. Because here, Rey has been here, and he has made a big fuss.

The headquarters where he robbed the money of the gang was here.

At that time, he turned into a black dragon and made a scene in this manor, destroying it, but now he never expected to come back here again.

"Are you sure it's right here? Winky." Looking at the ruined manor in front of him, Rey looked at Winky on the right and asked seriously.

"Master, of course it's here, Winky remembers correctly. But why is this place ruined like this?

Winky remembered very clearly. When he first came here, he was shocked by the S-shaped snake family pattern that was erected. The family pattern was so domineering. "

Winky ran a few steps forward, walked to the location of the door in her memory, raised her hands very high, and exaggeratedly said the snake-shaped family crest that shocked her.

The location of the gate is correct. When Rey destroyed the manor, the gate was where Winky was standing.

However, this manor does not have the atmosphere of a pure-blooded wizard family at all. It is completely a modern manor, which has nothing to do with pure-blooded wizard nobles.

Could it be that after someone bought it, it was pushed to rebuild it.

"Is this possible?

A pure-blood wizard family's manor, won't it end up in the hands of Muggles? "

Rey was extremely puzzled, wondering if there was something wrong with Winky's memory, or if Marvolo Gaunt had been so miserable, that he got to this point.

"Winky, I'm looking for a ring here. Marvolo Gaunt's ring."

A dead horse is a living horse doctor. Since Winky is sure that this is the right place, Rey has a try mentality and asks Winky to find it with him.

I remember when I destroyed the manor, I knew there was a treasure house here, but I never found it. Perhaps Marvolo Gaunt's ring is in this treasure trove.

Ring, how to find this is a big problem.

Looking at the ruins, Rey felt powerless in his heart.

Think back to when Dumbledore took Harry to find Horace Slughorn in a dilapidated house, and a magic spell restored the entire room to its original state.

At this time, Rey also wanted to use that kind of magic.

Rey already knows the temporal magic that destroys and restores objects. If it was him in that dilapidated room, he could also use magic to restore the original appearance of the room.

However, with such a large area of ​​manor ruins, and the destruction time has passed for so long, I believe that even Dumbledore can only sigh and be unable to recover.

"Mi..."

A low-pitched incantation sounded.

A very short spell, maybe only two or three words, and then adding a gesture like a circle, Winky cast a magic.

The light of magic flashed where the gesture was drawn, forming a multiple circle. Then out of the circle flew out a few fairies with dragonfly wings.

Like the elf in the Peter Pan movie, but the body is not completely human.

Rey has seen this elf. He had seen it in the Room of Requirement just a few hours earlier.

"Master, these are Coco elves who like to find things. Share what you have in your heart with them. As long as that thing is in this ruin, they will find it quickly."

After casually casting this magic, Winky explained to Rey next to him with wide eyes, this expression seemed to be asking for a reward.

Many troublesome things are very simple in the eyes of the elf.

Rey didn't expect that something he felt powerless would be solved by Winky so easily with magic.

"I like magic so much." He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Rey took out his wand and pointed to his temple.

The tip of the wand gleamed like a thread, and it was Rey's magic power to replicate what was in his mind.

To be on the safe side, Rey copied two things, one is Marvolo Gaunt's ring, and the other is the concept of a treasure trove. Explain to Cocoa as a well-kept secret room, or a re-locked door.

It's possible that Marvolo Gaunt's ring was in the treasury, but perhaps it was contained in some enchanted box, which also blocked the perception of the Coco Spirit. If you can find the treasure house first, then the ring will probably not be able to escape.

Rey waved his wand with his right hand and threw the conceptual image in his mind into the air.

A few coco elves flapped their wings behind, absorbed the images in the air into their bodies, and then buzzed a few times before rushing into the huge ruins. In less than a few seconds, they disappeared. into the ruins.
