Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Have you been in?" Umbridge asked excitedly, "Have you been in?"

"By the way, you are a ghost! You must have been in there." Umbridge asked, "Tell me what's inside? Is it Dumbledore's secret weapon? Was it raised by Dumbledore inside Hogwarts? monster?"

"Tsk." Myrtle curled her lips, turned around in mid-air, and sat lightly on the door panel of the compartment, observing her nails like a fair lady, as if she didn't hear Umbridge at all. The problem is the same.

Umbridge's face turned red with anger, and her stubby fingers clenched the wand tightly.

"Miss Myrtle." Percy Weasley took a step forward and smiled politely, "Do you know how to enter the space behind the sink? Do you know what's inside?"

"I've never been in." Myrtle shrugged and said, "It seems to be coated with a special magical substance, and we ghosts can't get in."

"It's such a shame..." Percy Weasley said, "What do you mean by the artificial voice? Have you ever seen anyone go in?"

"Of course." Myrtle laughed again, "It's the boy who died in the competition last semester, Tiera."

"Tiera? Tiera has been here?" The face of the boy who respected his teacher and was eager to learn flashed in Percy Weasley's mind, "When did he come?"

"Many times." Myrtle stretched out her fingers and broke them one by one. "The first time he came was the year before last? No, no, no... it should have been the year before last. He was only in the second grade at that time, and he was still thin and small. He was like a little bean sprout. The first time he came was in the middle of the night, wearing a very gorgeous and a bit funny dress robe."

"I had just come back from wandering outside when he came in," said Myrtle.

"Then what?" Percy continued.

"Then he came often," Myrtle said in a nonchalant tone.

"When was the last time he came here? Why does he always come here? What is in here?" Patsy asked anxiously.

"I don't know, after all, I haven't seen it before." Myrtle held up her hands and said with a mean smile, "But..."

As she spoke, Myrtle pretended to be thinking again——

"It seems that the last time he came was in June, just before the last game. I saw Tiera walking in with a traceless extension box, and came out two hours later." Myrtle pretended to remember. Said, "Yes, it was before the game, probably close to the game. After he came out of there, I saw Tiera and his handsome adoptive father, Gilderoy Lockhart, arguing -"

"What? Gilderoy Lockhart?" Umbridge cried out in surprise. Only then did she recall that Gilderoy Lockhart was the adoptive father of the Muggle brat who died in June. "This has nothing to do with What does it have to do with Gilderoy Lockhart?”

"How do I know this? Hehehe," Myrtle smiled mischievously, "Before the game that day, when I met the parents alone, they had a very heated argument. Hehehe, I couldn't understand anything they said. The words are about the path to becoming a god, the ritual of becoming a god, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the secret of the gods, the dreamland, etc."

"Wait, Dreamland?" Umbridge interrupted rudely, "Did you just say Dreamland?"

"Yes, Dreamland seems to be also called Kadath." Myrtle said.

"What did they say? What did they say about Dreamland?" Umbridge stared at Myrtle with wide eyes as if she suddenly had rabies.

"I don't know." Myrtle waved her hand in disgust and said, "They were arguing too fast, and there were other languages ​​mixed in. I couldn't hear clearly. Generally speaking, Tiera didn't want to do anything for Ji. Dro Lockhart does something, and Gilderoy Lockhart."

"And Gilderoy Lockhart." Myrtle smiled slyly, "Listening to Gilderoy Lockhart's tone, it sounded like it was a matter of life and death, as if he was going to die if he didn't hold the ceremony to become a god. .And it seems that only Tiera knows how to perform the ceremony of becoming a god."

"That's right! That's right!" Umbridge suddenly remembered that Gilderoy Lockhart took advantage of Tiera's injury two years ago, asked the Ministry of Magic to act as a guarantee, and borrowed a large sum of money from Gringotts. I spent a lot of money in Galleons and signed an unbreakable agreement——

At that moment, countless pieces of information seemed to be connected together to form a complete clue——

Apparently, this was a plan that was at least three years in the making.

Gilderoy Lockhart obviously came to Hogwarts to teach with a premeditated plan, just to plot something in Hogwarts, or to carry out some of his plans——

Umbridge believes that this plan is the so-called rite of becoming a god.

While teaching at Hogwarts, Gilderoy Lockhart met Tiera, a young wizard who was born a Muggle but was extremely talented.

Obviously, the appearance of this little wizard complemented Gilderoy Lockhart's plan and allowed Gilderoy Lockhart's plan to proceed.

So Gilderoy Lockhart used coercion and inducement to adopt Tiera, who was an orphan, as his adopted son and further manipulated and exploited him.

Gilderoy Lockhart may have asked Gringotts for a loan for this plan——

Words like the ritual of becoming a god and the road to becoming a god do not even need a more detailed explanation. Umbridge knew as soon as she heard it that this must be a magical ritual that cost a lot of money but also had great benefits.

I'm afraid that the half a million gold galleons that Gilderoy Lockhart picked up from Gringotts were the preparation funds for the ceremony of becoming a god. , In other words, Gilderoy Lockhart never thought about paying back the five hundred thousand gold galleons.

That's why Myrtle said just now, "It's like he's going to die if he doesn't hold that god-making ceremony," because if Gilderoy Lockhart can't pay back the money, he will really die.

Originally, according to Gilderoy Lockhart's plan, he should have completed the ceremony of becoming a god within two years. After completing the ceremony of becoming a god, Gilderoy Lockhart would probably no longer be afraid of Gringotts' Unbreakable Agreement. So these five hundred thousand gold galleons are used as long as they are used.

But in the end, fate is not what it is. When the plan reached the final step, Tiera suddenly broke up with Gilderoy Lockhart for some unknown reason and refused to help Gilderoy Lockhart complete the ceremony.

And according to Myrtle's description: "Tiera walked in carrying a traceless extension box and came out two hours later."

In other words, Tiera probably secretly hid the magic potions and ritual instruments related to the godhood ceremony that Gilderoy Lockhart spent half a million to prepare in that secret room, so quietly that only he could Inside the open secret room.

In other words, there may be a very complete ritual worth half a million gold galleons hidden here, under this secret room.

Now Tiera is dead, and Gilderoy Lockhart, who has not completed the ceremony to become a god, is probably dying, which means——

As long as you can open this secret room, everything will be yours!

——Dolores Umbridge thought greedily:

This godhood ceremony worth five hundred thousand gold galleons, the power I can gain through the godhood ceremony, and the absolute power that extends from this power, will all be hers!

Dumbledore, Cornelius Fudge, and the Ministry of Magic will all be no match for me!

I will become the magical queen of the entire UK, and everyone will surrender to me!

While Umbridge was immersed in her own fantasy world, she didn't notice at all that Ghost Myrtle sneered in mid-air.

Sitting on the top floor of Hogwarts, in the principal's office, Tiera had a sneer almost identical to Myrtle's.
