v2 Chapter 1468： action (1/2)

”Hello!” said Dumbledore happily.

”Hello, Professor!” Several people came to Dumbledore.

”Don't stand there, sit down, the house elves are always too enthusiastic and do everything they can to do for us. They are the best creatures in the world. We better not reject their goodwill. Dumbledore smiled and said, ”What do you want to eat? I recommend trying this biscuit.”

They sat in a chair next to Dumbledore, and the house elves around them immediately put on drinks and desserts, filled with more than half of the table. The picture looked like a party, but in addition to Dumbledore. No one cares about what dessert to eat.

”Professor, are we ready to summon the demon now?”

”Oh, yes,” said Dumbledore. ”I think you five should not be willing to stay in the empty Hogwarts for Christmas. Molly also reminded me that I want you to go back, so this kind of thing. It’s best to fix it quickly.”

”What intelligence did you find?” Aiwen asked. ”About the Altar of the Devil and Hufflepuff...”

”There is no direct evidence that Helga Hufflepuff has left a demon altar in the school,” Dumbledore whispered. ”We can only guess that in the original planning of the castle, this area was It belongs to Hufflepuff's exclusive area. Only Hufflepuff himself and her students are allowed to enter, just like Slytherin's secret room. The demon altar that appeared here was passed down from that period, so two There will be relationships between the people. What's more, it is the altar of the devil associated with the house elves. We all know that Hufflepuff has a good relationship with the house elf.”

”There are also tips left by her, and also related to the house elves.” Ai Wen said.

The hint of the secret treasure key left by Hufflepuff is: the kindly Hufflepuff, from the open valley! She treats everyone equally, and everyone has a chance to get her collection! The key to unlocking the treasure is integrity and loyalty, all you need to do is trust your humblest friend!

The humblest friend in it, no accident, refers to the house elf.

Because the creatures in the hints left by Gryffindor and Ravenclaw can correspond to a creature around Hogwarts.

Gryffindor’s recognition of the proud followers refers to the horses in the Forbidden Forest; Ravenclaw’s clever and wise allies refer to the mermaid in the lake in front of the castle. From the creatures that lived around Hogwarts in these generations, Avon got important information about the key to the treasure.

Therefore, the clues left by Hufflepuff should correspond to the house elves in the kitchen.

Ivan had previously investigated that the house elves in the kitchen did not preserve what the generations were like horses or mermaids.

They don’t know anything, the only suspicious place is the altar of devils.

The demon is also an elf, and it may not know anything.

”Everything must be determined after the summoning.” Dumbledore said, ”It seems that you don't want to eat desserts. Let's go. Take out the wand, although the power of the demon altar below is not very strong, I don't think it will appear. What a powerful demon, but we still can't take it lightly. Of course, don't be too nervous.”

Harry and Hermione seem to want to ask, after all, they will face a demon.

This is an area they don't understand. Tension and uneasiness are inevitable, even if there is Dumbledore.

But just because I don't understand, there is nothing to ask.
