Chapter 386 The Missing Horcrux

Outside the door were the two brothers George and Fred. They were both wearing tattered school uniforms, and their faces and the flesh exposed through the holes in their robes were all bruised and purple, as if they had just come back from the boxing ring.

"Mike, we can't stand it!"

"That's right, we can't stand it anymore!"

Before Mike could say anything, George and Fred started talking to each other.

Mike looked at the two of them, and after pulling them back to the Masonic Secret Realm through the Masonic Coin, he quickly asked:

"What's going on?"

"It's Umbridge! Now the whole Hogwarts belongs to her!"

"So she set up a punishment room again, and hired a large number of Slytherins, giving them the right to supervise students to rule Hogwarts!"

"The most important thing is!"

"She's still not going to expel us!"

"That's right, she wants to detain us in Hogwarts and torture us! That's how we got the injuries!"

"If this goes on, we will be killed by her sooner or later!"

Listening to the Weasley brothers telling the whole story, Mike's face also showed a trace of anger.

The Weasley brothers are all members of the Freemasons. When they made the unbreakable oath, they vowed to share happiness and hardships!

The reason why Mike allowed the Weasley brothers to be retaliated by Umbridge was actually more of a punishment for their unauthorized actions, but this kind of revenge was limited. Now Umbridge's behavior undoubtedly touched Mike's bottom line.

"You guys," Mike said after a long while, forcibly suppressing his anger, "What are you going to do?"

"We are going to escape from Hogwarts."

"That's right! Just like Dumbledore did!"

"Then we will rent a store in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade Village to fulfill our dreams!"

"Open a magic joke house!"

George and Fred said in turn, and the exuberant anger on their faces at the beginning also turned into a vision of the future.

But this vision did not last long and disappeared, turning into a kind of gnashing of teeth with hatred.

"But before we leave, we must teach Umbridge a lesson!"

"That's right! A lesson that will be engraved in our hearts! Otherwise, all the suffering we have endured during this period will be in vain!"

After that, the two of them put on a nervous expression and looked at Mike.

They have learned a lesson from the previous incident, and now they know very well that if they are really ready to take action, it is better to ask Mike.

If Mike disagrees, then everything is over!

"Umbridge really went too far, so..." Mike looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes and said slowly, "I support you!"

"Great!"

"Mike! God forever!"

The two Weasley brothers screamed and were about to go forward to hug Mike. In the past, Mike would definitely push the two people away resolutely, but now looking at the scars on their faces, Mike stood there motionless, allowing George and Weasley to wipe all the dirt on their hands and faces on his clean robes.

"Okay! That's about it!" After a while, Mike, who felt that he had reached the limit of his patience, broke free from the arms of the two people, patted his robe and said with disdain, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Do you even need to ask?"

George's face showed a malicious look, and at the same time, Fred took out a colorful bucket of fireworks from his arms and said:

"Of course, we will use our bang bang swoosh fireworks!"

"There are many other magical fireworks! These together are enough to blow up the old witch Umbridge!"

Looking at the familiar fireworks, Mike shook his head and said:

"Haven't you ever considered a problem? What if Umbridge has already been prepared for this kind of fireworks, and it doesn't have the effect you want?"

After these words came out, the Weasley brothers reacted, looking at each other, all speechless.

Until the end, the two of them looked at Mike.

"As your president, it's time for me to help you a little." Mike's mouth corners rose, "You go find Benjamin and Victor, just tell them that I asked you to go, they will fully cooperate with you!" "

Mike! God forever!" *2

The Weasley brothers cheered again and rushed towards Mike.

But this time Mike did not indulge the two, but simply dodged to the side.

"Go away! You are so dirty!"

The Weasley brothers, who had rushed to nothing, showed regret on their faces, which made Mike more certain of his previous thoughts - these two guys did it on purpose!

After playing with the Weasley brothers for a while, Mike said:

"Okay, everyone, I think it's time for us to separate. You go find Benjamin and Victor, I have my own things to do."

As he said that, Mike took out the Masonic gold coin and prepared to teleport, but George on the side suddenly said:

"What are you going to do?"

Mike's movements paused, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell the truth.

"Harry and Hermione are practicing Occlumency at my place, and I'm going to let them go after school. Then, I'm going to go to the Slytherin common room."

"Slytherin!"

"Why are you going there?"

The Weasley brothers' eyes lit up.

"Huh, Chris and I made an appointment to go to his place to buy some things. It's a small matter, you guys..."

"Take us with you! We can be your bodyguards!"

"That's right! We are very worried about you! Those Slytherins might attack you!"

Mike was interrupted, but he was not angry.

Looking at the excited Weasley brothers, how could Mike not know what they were thinking? However, considering that they had been angry for the past two days, it was time to vent, so Mike nodded and agreed.

...

Half an hour later, Mike, who had freed Harry and Hermione, brought the Weasley brothers to the entrance of the Slytherin Common Room.

The entrance to the Slytherin Common Room was in a basement of Hogwarts Castle. Since the basement was not a good place, and Slytherin was extremely exclusive, this basement was usually visited by only Slytherin students.

This was the first time Mike went to the Slytherin Common Room, so he looked around very carefully, and this also made him discover some strange things - the walls of this basement were wet!

Although this was a basement, it was normal for water marks to appear on the walls and floors during the rainy season, but now it was winter!

Mike silently remembered this abnormal phenomenon in his mind, and at this time a pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

"Hello, Mr. Townley."

Mike turned his head and saw a tall girl with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a Slytherin uniform looking at him with a smile.

"Hello."

Mike responded expressionlessly, but the girl opposite him seemed to not feel Mike's indifference at all, and said enthusiastically:

"I am Astoria Greengrass, it's an honor to meet you! Chris asked me to open the door for you, now, please come in! Glory!"

As Astoria read out the password loudly, a wall in front of Mike and others suddenly moved away, revealing the Slytherin lounge inside.

Mike looked at the girl named Astoria for a few times, and walked in slowly until he could not hold back his smile.

The Weasley brothers behind him followed him, but they all snorted in dissatisfaction when they passed Astoria.

Astoria just ignored them completely, which made them very dissatisfied.

Mike, who was walking in the front, did not notice the little movements of the Weasley brothers, because at this moment his attention was completely attracted by the Slytherin lounge.

Compared with the lounges of the other three colleges, the Slytherin lounge can be said to be the most luxurious and the most magical!

Its four walls are all made of black Gothic marble, and there is a fireplace in the room with an exquisitely carved mantel, which is emitting warm firelight all around.

However, all this is nothing. The most eye-catching thing in the entire lounge is the ceiling.

It is a huge transparent semicircle carved entirely from a piece of crystal, and looking out from the transparent ceiling, there are several huge octopus tentacles and sparkling waves! Seeing

this scene, Mike was stunned at first, and then hurriedly looked at the other windows in the lounge.

Sure enough, through those windows, Mike still saw the dark lake water and unknown strange creatures that would swim through the window from time to time!

Mike understood it instantly!

The Slytherin lounge is actually located at the bottom of the Black Lake!

Mike nodded in amazement. Legend has it that Hogwarts Castle was actually the private residence of the Slytherin family, one of the four giants. Mike was a little bit unbelievable at first, but now Mike believes it.

Because the lounge that Slytherin left for his students is really great!

If it weren't for the fact that the entire castle belongs to him, Mike believes that at least Gryffindor will definitely duel with Slytherin for this lounge!

After all, it's really cool!

"Mr. Mike, please go this way."

Just as Mike was immersed in the strange scenery of the Slytherin lounge, Astoria's voice rang again.

Upon hearing this, Mike immediately retracted his gaze and continued to walk in the direction she pointed with an expressionless look.

There were still several students sitting on the carved chairs near the fireplace in the Slytherin lounge. The arrival of Mike and the Weasley brothers instantly attracted their attention.

Obviously, they had already received the notice that Mike would come, so they didn't do anything, but just stared at Mike and the others with malicious eyes.

The faint green light emitted by the crystal chandelier on the ceiling hit their faces, making them look like vampires.

Mike ignored them and led Weasley and others to a door under the guidance of Astoria.

At this time, Astoria, who had been following Mike, suddenly accelerated and came to Mike, knocking on the door instead of Mike who wanted to push the door directly.

The door opened quickly, and Mike looked at each other deeply, and then entered the room alone.

As for the two Weasley brothers, they were blocked outside the door.

Mike was not surprised at all. It was better to say that Mike was surprised that the two of them could walk so far with him.

You know, this is the base camp of Slytherin, and Mike did not say hello in advance before coming to bring people.

It is not surprising that the two of them were stopped at the entrance of the lounge.

What appeared in front of Mike was a reception room. Compared with Mike's reception room in the Masonic Secret Realm, this one was more quaint. The tables, chairs, and decorations inside all had a heavy feeling accumulated after the precipitation of time, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, a young man stood up on the sofa in the reception room.

"Mike, you're finally here, haha!"

"Hello, Chris."

"How have you been lately?"

"I'm afraid it's hard for me to describe this." Mike's eyes fell on the silver armband on Chris's arm, "but it looks like you're doing well."

"Hahaha! Not bad." Chris noticed Mike's gaze and said, "This is Umbridge's trust in me. She said that I can have the same power as the president of the Student Union. But I don't think it's of much use."

...

The two of them exchanged some insincere politeness before sitting down face to face on the sofa chair. After sitting down, Mike didn't say any nonsense and asked directly:

"Where's the thing?"

"Here."

Chris smiled and placed a pendant box with the Slytherin snake logo engraved on it on the coffee table between them.

Mike immediately picked up the pendant box and examined it, while Chris crossed his legs and said:

"To be honest, this thing is not very useful to me. I felt bored after playing with it for a few days, so it's not a problem to give it to you. But I noticed that you actually started issuing a bounty for this thing a few months ago. This makes me very confused. Why do you want to get this pendant box so much? It's just an antique with some value. If you say that those pure-bloods are chasing it for illusory honors, I can understand, but you are a mud... Muggle-born wizard. Why do you have to have this thing?"

Mike ignored Chris and concentrated on observing the pendant box in front of him.

Before coming here, Penelope had already given Mike all the means to identify the authenticity of the pendant box.

Although Mike wrote down everything, he felt that it was unnecessary because he knew very well that Slytherin's pendant box must be a Horcrux, so as long as Voldemort's soul was not detected in it, then this pendant box must be fake.

Now, Mike has encountered this situation - there is no soul of Voldemort in the pendant box, not even a trace of Voldemort's breath!

This pendant box is fake!

This is Mike's first reaction.

But after calming down a little and testing the pendant box according to the method given by Penelope, the conclusion is that this pendant box is real!

Mike is completely confused!
