Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 247 Gryffindor likes to be straightforward~
At breakfast, Ted comforted the friends, and they came to him at noon.

Ted was a little surprised. He looked at Ron who was a little anxious and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it time for dinner yet?"

Ron waved his hands repeatedly: "Oh! Who said that! Do I only know that it can't be eaten? Besides, I have seen the menu for lunch, there are no new dishes..."

Jerry quickly stabbed him!

Ron suddenly realized: "Ah, you made me forget what to say. Do you remember Sir Cadogan?"

Hermione's eyes lit up: "You mean, treasure!" Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid that someone would hear it.

Ted also realized that he had so many things to do during the holidays that he had forgotten about this.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten it."

Ted admitted that he was indeed a forgetful person and asked, "Why, do you have any news?"

"Hey!" Ron grinned and looked around at his friends: How is it? How is it? You still have to rely on me!

Finally, Hermione spoke up: "I checked..."

It turned out that Hermione looked up Sir Cadogan in the library during the holidays.

But the general information is still that, a character in mythology and legend, a member of the legendary Knights of the Round Table.

Ron: That's it, that's it? I was shocked. I thought I had done nothing!

He said mysteriously, "Do you know who led the way when we got lost during the divination class yesterday?"

"Who?"

"Sir Cadogan!"

"Ah! Have you found his ghost?"

"What ghost? A portrait!"

It was too late yesterday, and Ron was frightened by Neville's "death news", so he forgot about it. He only remembered it when he woke up in the morning.

A few people didn't even have lunch and went to look for the portrait.

After asking around, I found out that Sir Cadogan was really hated by everyone. No one knew where his picture frame was. They even rolled their eyes when it was mentioned.

How is this mixed up?

Forget about the portrait, even the powerful ghosts don't know where he is.

Ted asked the two resident ghosts, the Fat Friar and Nearly Headless Nick, but none of them, who had been in the castle for hundreds of years, knew where Sir Cadogan's portrait was.

It's not that I didn't know it, but Sir Cadogan's train of thought was a bit single-minded, and his behavior was a bit like Don Quixote with a serious illness, which had a very serious impact on other portraits.

So about two hundred years ago, his portrait was collected by the school staff and stored separately.

Since then, Sir Cadogan had fewer opportunities to charge on horseback, and sometimes a young wizard never saw him from the time he entered school to the time he graduated.

So, it was a pleasant surprise for Neville and his friends to meet Sir Cadogan last time.

Ted looked at Neville: It's not necessarily an accident... These things are likely to happen around the Child of Destiny.

There was no harvest that day, but in the evening, Ted came up with an idea, or rather, he could find "someone" to help.

Peeves!
If anyone could find Lord Cadogan's portrait, it would be Peeves.

As for how to convince him... Ted went with a whip.

Peeves was very polite and agreed to help, saying it was his duty.

She really worked hard, and at breakfast the next day, she quietly told Ted that she had found it - in an abandoned storage room on the seventh floor of the spire.

When Ted finds Sir Cadogan's portrait, it is placed on the floor facing the wall, and the magic of the classroom is restrained.

He guessed that the reason why Sir Cadogan rarely appeared was because the staff had moved his portrait to this room with little magic supply. This resulted in a long time for Sir Cadogan to wake up from his deep sleep, and he would fall asleep again not long after. Doesn't this restrict him!

Yes, now Sir Cadogan was leaning against his horse, and both he and his horse were sleeping on the grass with snot bubbles coming out of their noses.

Ted took the portrait directly to the secret base and allocated some magic power supplies.

The more Ted studied the Room of Requirement and the information about the founding of the school left by Ms. Ravenclaw, the more he felt the magic and greatness of Hogwarts.

It is truly astonishing that they artificially uprooted mountains, built schools, and constructed such a complex and sophisticated magic supply system at the magic gathering point in the Scottish Highlands.

Perhaps it is precisely this kind of major project that can be built together by four people who have reached the end of the wizarding path.

Back to the point, with the supply of magic power, Sir Cadogan woke up soon.

"Hmm~ I seem to have woken up a little early this time. Huh? What is this place?!" Sir Cadogan shouted.

Ron, who had been waiting anxiously, asked hurriedly, "Sir Cadogan, where is the treasure?"

But Sir Dogen raised his moustache and said, "Treasure, what treasure?" He looked confused, but he didn't seem to be pretending.

"Treasure! Gryffindor's treasure!"

Sir Cadogan looked puzzled: "What Gryffindor treasure? I've never heard of it! I don't know Gryffindor!"

He really wasn't lying, he really didn't know any Gryffindors.

He existed hundreds of years earlier than Gryffindor.

But why was his portrait in the castle?

It is not certain whether there was such magical technology for moving portraits in that era. At least until now, the only magical portrait of that era is Sir Cadogan.

It must be a portrait of Sir Cadogan that was painted by someone later and placed in the castle. Who could it be?

Hermione and Ted looked at each other: probably Gryffindor.

Here I have to explain the magic portrait. Only the portrait that is drawn according to the person, with the person's consent, and infused with the person's magic power, will have the person's personality and thoughts.

However, some "original character paintings", such as the fisherman, have very simple personalities, which are given by the "painter" and the wizard and are not so distinct.

The most typical example is the portrait of the principal on the wall in the principal's office. They are much more flexible than the fat lady and air force guy on the wall. They are like people living in the frame.

Perhaps it is precisely because the characters in the painting were "created" according to the legend, rather than painted according to the person himself, that Sir Cadogan's painting is so out of tune.

……

It was now clear that Gryffindor had placed obstacles in Sir Cadogan's way, conditions that needed to be met in order for him to get the information.

Just like the Sorting Hat only revealed the information about the treasure after Neville got the Sword of Gryffindor and was recognized.

Sir Cadogan should be the same.

But maybe he himself doesn't even know about this, and there will be no reaction until the conditions are triggered.

Ron Harley and the others were chattering around Sir Cadogan, while Hermione was muttering to herself, "The puzzles set by Gryffindor shouldn't be too complicated or too accurate. He doesn't value intelligence..."

It’s like the Sorting Hat said “The secret is behind Slytherin”, and the message is really engraved on the back of the Slytherin statue, so straightforward.

Ted continued her words: "So be direct and don't think too deeply."

Hermione nodded and said to Sir Cadogan, "Gryffindor sent us to find you!"

Sir Cadogan, who was arguing with Harley and the others with great interest, suddenly froze, his eyes dull, and he said, "Go and find out my deeds! The secret is there!"

"Huh? What's going on? Where was I just now?" He asked confusedly, obviously unaware of what he had said.

The friends were all stunned. They didn't care about him at all and all looked at Hermione.
