Chapter 292: The Black Dragon That Devours Emotions and the Ravenclaw Crown
Ted and Dumbledore came to the depths of the castle, where Morgana's secret vault of emotions was located.

Standing under the huge fairy magic silver magic sphere with a diameter of six or seven meters, watching it slowly rotate in the magic circle. It's spectacular!

Dumbledore spoke up: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Ted said: "You have seen the results of the experiment. This is effective."

“But we don’t know yet if there are any side effects.”

Ted shrugged. "No way. Everything has a price. We can't always be so safe. At worst, I will never use this magic again. But if it succeeds, we will have solved a big problem."

Seeing that Dumbledore was still staring at the ball without saying anything, Ted continued, "You can see that both the magic circle and the magic silver ball have been damaged to varying degrees over the past few hundred years, but the negative emotions have indeed not decreased at all."

"Although it looks like we can hold out for another 100 or 200 years, we can't just muddle through everything. We should trust the wisdom of future generations, right? By then, you'll probably be gone, but I'll still be here!"

"Besides, if it succeeds, my guardian deity will be greatly strengthened. Even if it fails, I will just consider it as one less magic. But solving this historical problem is still a gain."

When Ted first modified the Patronus Charm, he had intended to use it to deal with this thing.

Now it’s finally time to implement it.

If a person or individual were to absorb these negative emotions, he or she would definitely not be able to bear it. Humans have their limits, so how can we stop being human?
The massive amount of pain plus the tearing of dozens of consciousnesses tore the personality apart in an instant.

But Ted thought of a good idea, which was to refer to the Eastern legends. The Bodhisattvas and Buddhas always had a guardian deity, with wrathful expressions or incarnations of destruction... Wasn't it just concentrating all the negative forces on a guardian deity?

So there was this guardian deity who devoured the evil dragon.

Now, Ted wants to use the guardian deity to devour the negative emotions collected by Morgana...

For three days, the friends hadn't seen Ted.

No one knew where he had gone. Hermione was very worried. She asked Professor McGonagall, who said he had gone to do something with Dumbledore. This made her feel relieved.

Three days later, Ted returned.

The problem that has been left over for hundreds of years has been solved.

Ted's idea was successful. The only problem was that he had to control the guardian deity when using it. This thing was really ferocious now!

If I were to die tragically someday, this thing would definitely become the most powerful magical creation, and a particularly vicious one.

……

The problem with the secret library has been resolved, and I have already told the four old professors about it. They can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is the Ravenclaw Diadem.

This is also closely linked to Ted's plan.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to deal with this matter with Dumbledore.

In fact, he was quite confident that he could handle it himself, but he had already decided that if he could restore the crown, he would donate it to the school.

After all, this is the legacy of the Big Four and should remain in the school like the Sword of Gryffindor.

It would be too disgraceful for him to try to take over Ravenclaw's tiara when he had already acquired her knowledge.

Since we have to give it back to the school anyway, why not let Dumbledore do the work?
Ted, Dumbledore, Snape, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick appeared in the utility room of the Room of Requirement.

Ted had already opened the door and didn't tell them about the existence of the Room of Requirement. This is a secret among students, so it's better not to tell the professors.

He had previously found the crown using the miniature magic puppet worm he had created.

This thing is indeed a bit weird. When Ted came to look for it before, he couldn't find it.

That’s right, I used my psychic powers to search almost all the clutter, but I just couldn’t find it.

But Ted could feel it, there in this huge "garbage dump".

It could be that Voldemort cast a spell on this thing, or it could be that this Horcrux can automatically avoid beings that are too powerful and difficult to bewitch. However, the second time he came, Ted brought a box of flying insects, which were only the size of rice grains, could fly, had no attacking ability, but were in huge numbers and would react to magic.

After finding hundreds of miscellaneous items that still had magical effects, Ted found the hidden crown.

Facing the five people, the crown did not react at all, just like a broken and dirty iron ring.

Professor Flitwick immediately wiped his tears. "Oh my God! Look at what he has done to this precious tiara!"

As the head of Ravenclaw House, Professor Flitwick was heartbroken.

How wonderful it would be if we could find this lost heritage for thousands of years in our own hands? It would be recorded in the history of the school!
"Very vicious magic!" Snape frowned slightly, staring at the crown and the ugly dummy underneath.

Ever since he killed Peter in the Shrieking Shack a while ago, he seemed to have made some progress.

He's actually level 17! Hasn't he been leveled up in years?
Does Peter have so much experience?

Of course, it can’t be because Peter is experienced. It’s more likely that Snape’s mentality has begun to change, right?
His attainments in the dark arts were probably only slightly better than Dumbledore's among the people present. When he said vicious, it must be extremely vicious.

"We have to take it away first. This place is not suitable for handling..." said Dumbledore.

The environment here is too complicated, and the junk that has been piled up for dozens or hundreds of years must weigh more than ten tons. If you do something here, accidents may happen at any time.

Horcruxes are different from other magics, they are more advanced and more varied. You have to be on guard.

Ted suggested: "Maybe we could go to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets?"

Professor McGonagall smiled: "Good idea!"

What could be a more interesting choice than disposing of the Ravenclaw diadem defiled by the Heir of Slytherin in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?
Oh, yes, Dumbledore also brought the Sorting Hat, and he could pull out the Sword of Gryffindor at any time and chop the crown in half, which is uncertain whether it can be saved.
How come this matter is full of black humor?
A few more days passed, and the progress of purifying the crown was very good.

Dumbledore used a very complex ancient ritual magic to trap the crown and the dummy in the magic circle of the Chamber of Secrets.

At first, the crown pretended that nothing had happened and that he was just a piece of rags.

But when Snape poured concentrated anti-magic juice on it, it reacted and began to have a telepathic conversation with Snape and began to seduce him.

Ted had been watching the changes, so he took the opportunity to dive into Snape's shallow mind to see what was being said between the two.

The crown directly targeted Snape's weak spot - saying that he had a way to resurrect the dead!
Snape didn't say anything, he just strengthened the brain blocking technique and continued pouring the juice.

It seemed that he was not affected by the magic of the crown at all, but Ted was not sure. After all, Snape was a true master of Legilimency and brain shielding, and he was good at constructing false memories and surface thoughts, which even Voldemort could not see through.

So, in the hallway, Ted whispered, "Professor, you don't believe this...right?"

Snape always walked in a way that you couldn't see his feet, but he stopped without looking back. His deep voice rang out in the corridor: "I know better than you what I'm facing. I also know that there is no such thing as resurrection of the dead in this world. Only an old fool would fantasize about such a thing!"

After saying this, Snape flicked his robe and floated away like a black cloud.

Ted shrugged, glanced around the corner of the hallway, and left as well.

Dumbledore came out, stroking the old wand in his hand, and muttered: "You are right, I often indulge in fantasies of the past and cannot extricate myself. Maybe I am already an old fool..."

It was right that Ted did not touch the Tiara in private before. Maybe Voldemort was not at his most terrifying when he was making the Tiara Horcrux, but the magic he added to the Tiara was really dangerous.

The crown has many tricks, from the sudden resurrection and attack of the dummy, to the vicious curse, to the best mind bewitching...

Later, even Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall stopped coming near, because they felt that even if they were prepared, it would be a bit difficult to cope with it.

However, Ted and Snape were not affected; their mental defenses were unbreakable.

More than a week passed, and more than a dozen magical processes were completed, and its heart had been peeled off layer by layer.

Now Dumbledore is thinking about how to break the magic without damaging the crown.
