Chereads / The Strongest Dark Lord / Chapter 72 - In Search Of The Diadem

Chapter 72 - In Search Of The Diadem

Baby unicorns love being around Lucas, Professor Kettleburn would have been surprised to see this.

"Little guy, come with me, and I will take you to a safer place to live."

As a magical creature, even if the unicorn is very young, he could already understand what Lucas wanted to express.

It took a few steps forward and placed its forehead in Lucas' palm, and with a soft sound, one man and one beast disappeared in place.

(Hufflepuff's Secret Garden)

Lucas appeared in a forest with the little unicorn.

A group of unicorns are playing leisurely not far away and sensing his arrival, gathered around Lucas one after another.

"I brought a new friend for you" Lucas showed the little unicorn behind him.

It looks a little scared, always trying to hide behind Lucas.

At this time, several unicorns who were also young came up to meet them.

Just like human children, with a playmate, the little unicorn's fear of unfamiliar environments has eased a lot.

Waiting until the little unicorn is fully acclimatized to the new environment Lucas left the secret garden.

It has to be said, the space that Ms. Helga has created is really amazing.

After the test just now, Lucas found that as long as it is a magical animal that enters the secret garden, a contract will be automatically signed.

Having verified his idea, Lucas took another look at the Forbidden Forest in front of him.

His exploration of the Forbidden Forest was only a small part completed.

But right now there are more important things to do.

The seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Lucas stands in front of the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls to dance ballet.

He paced three times back and forth while thinking: 'I need a place to hide my stuff!'

Perceiving his needs, a door gradually appeared on the wall.

Pushing the door and entering, Lucas immediately froze in place.

He was sure that the diadem of Ravenclaw must be hidden here, because the layout of the room is almost the same as the original.

But he never imagined that this hidden room was actually so big!

Lucas looked across the endless room and immediately felt a little headache coming.

"Accio Ravenclaw's diadem!"

Even though he knew it's useless, he still used the summoning charm to test his luck.

A few minutes passed, and there was no movement in the room.

"Harry truly deserves to be the person who has the aura of the protagonist, since he can find the diadem in such a cluttered and enormous room."

This secret room was probably used as a storage place for waste items.

Dilapidated boxes, old portraits and broken tables and chairs can be seen everywhere.

He even saw a few broomsticks used by medieval wizards.

Maybe it's because there's more and more scrap that the Room of Requirements also expands the area of the room repeatedly.

Until now, the entire secret room is almost the size of three football fields.

It was a real trial to find a specific object in such a large place.

Lucas put away his wand and followed the road into the mountains of waste.

Two hours later he walked out of the Room of Requirement.

Seeing the dust on his robes, he waved his wand to give himself a fresh clean.

"Damn it, where did Voldemort hide the diadem?"

Lucas' tone was tinged with irritation.

With such a large area, he may not be able to find it in one year.

"Lucas?"

Hermione's voice came from the stairs beside him.

Looking at the little witch holding a thick book in her arms Lucas asked, "Going to the library again?"

"That's right! Exams are coming soon, I heard that Hogwarts exams are scary!"

Hermione seems to be suffering from exam phobia recently.

He didn't know who spread the rumors, but it is said that the Hogwarts exams are very scary and very difficult.

This made our lady know-it-all very anxious and these days she's either attending class or reading books in the library.

Lucas originally thought that after yesterday's trip to the Forbidden Forest, she could be somewhat relieved.

But now it seems that the effect is not that great.

"My dear, the exams at Hogwarts are just like Muggle schools, and you are so excellent, you don't need to worry at all."

Upon hearing Lucas' address, Hermione's face seemed to be covered with a red glow.

She said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you calling me, there are people everywhere."

"Maybe the exam is just not difficult for you!"

During the conversation the two arrived at the library.

The exam is approaching, and the library is full of young wizards cramming so they had a hard time finding an empty table.

Looking at the little witch who was studying hard.

Lucas, who had nothing to do, found a biography book at random.

After a while, he found out that the biographies of the wizarding world are actually no different from novels.

"By the way, Harry and Draco came to see me just now. They seem to be investigating the Philosopher's Stone and asked me a few questions."

After Hermione finished speaking, she looked at Lucas eagerly. In fact, she was still very interested in the Philosopher's Stone.

"Lucas, can the Philosopher's Stone really make people live forever?"

"Didn't Nicolas Flamel confirm it?" Lucas closed the book in his hand.

"However, it only prolongs people's lifespan, and their physical functions will still degrade with time."

Clever as Hermione was, she understood what Lucas meant right away and lost interest in the Philosopher's Stone.

Speaking about it, during this time, Draco always followed Harry to investigate the Philosopher's Stone.

Maybe they have already been to the corridor on the third floor.

"Merlin's beard, I finally found you!"

Speaking of the devil!

Draco, Harry and Weasley came from the door.

Because Draco spoke too loudly, he also got a glare from Mrs. Pince.

Lucas saw the books in their hands and his expression was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, these guys would also come to study.

They all came to Lucas' empty table and sat down, accidentally making a loud sound when they moved the chairs.

Harry looked back at Mrs. Pince behind him and not surprisingly, he once again received Mrs. Pince's patented glare.

"Lucas, after what happened in the Forbidden Forest last night, I probably already understand what's going on?"

Harry's words attracted the attention of Lucas and Hermione.

Seeing the two top students acting like they were listening, Harry felt a little smug.

"At first I thought that Snape was going to steal the Philosopher's Stone and sell it, but now I have overturned this conclusion."

"You may not know it, but I met that man in the Forbidden Forest last night, Voldemort!"

When Harry mentioned the title Voldemort, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid that the people around him would hear him.

"Ahem, Harry, it's Professor Snape!"

Harry looked at Lucas strangely, he's talking about something important and Lucas cares more about how he addresses Snape?

Harry took a deep breath and said again: "It should be like this, Snape..."

Seeing Lucas glance over at him, he quickly changed his words: "Professor Snape's purpose was probably to steal the Philosopher's Stone under the trapdoor, but with the three-headed dog guarding it, he failed."

"But I believe that Professor Snape will not give up. When he gets the Philosopher's Stone, he will deliver it to Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest."

"Harry, can you stop saying that person's name!" Ron said with a look of fear on his face.

Harry ignored it, but looked at the crowd and continued.

"Then Voldemort can live forever, regain his strength, and then he can come and kill me."

At the end, Harry's voice couldn't help but rise.

After he finished speaking, Mrs. Pince's voice sounded behind everyone.

"If I hear loud noises from you guys again, I will have to kick you out of the library!"

"Sorry, Mrs. Pince."

Hermione apologized hastily, then looked at Harry.

Once Mrs. Pince left everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hermione turned her head to look at the worried Harry and said, "Your worry is a little too much."

"This is Hogwarts, and there is someone who is protecting the stone and can stop you-know-who."

Seeing Harry pointing at himself.

Hermione said helplessly: "Dumbledore, it's Dumbledore!"

"As the greatest wizard of this century, he's the only person Voldemort is afraid of, so what are you worried about? You're safe in Hogwarts."

"But we can't just watch Snape steal the Philosopher's Stone!"

Seeing Lucas look at himself again, Harry added: "Professor Snape!"

It's rare that Draco and Ron don't make fun of each other and coincide in something, the two nodded in support of their friend, thinking that Harry was right.

At this time, Lucas, who had finished reading the biography, raised his head to look at them.

"Whether Harry is right or not, these things have nothing to do with us for the time being."

"It's only a few days before the exam, and I can assure you that if one of the three of you fails in the exam, it will end badly."

"It will even affect whether you can enter the Quidditch team next semester!"

When Lucas said this, he kept looking at Draco.

Mr. Malfoy was still waiting for his son's results to show off to others.

If Draco fails a single exam, Lucas can guarantee that Mr. Malfoy will be more dangerous than the three-headed dog.

And, he didn't want them to continue the investigation at this moment.

Everything has to wait until the end of the exam.

This exam is the key to whether Lucas can successfully get the diamond lottery.

Whoever dares to cause trouble at this time will have to deal with him.

Even Voldemort and Dumbledore!.
