HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 300: The Function of the Vanishing Cabinet

After the Quidditch finals in May, students basically entered the review state to prepare for the upcoming exams.

On the third night after the finals, a fairy named Minnie appeared in the secret room.

"Dear Miss Gloria, Minnie entered the Room of Requirement and saw what the two wizards were doing."

Gloria put down her pen and said, "Go ahead."

"They went in and looked for something, but when they couldn't find it, they smashed things in anger." Minnie clasped her hands and continued, "After smashing things, they found a cabinet and chanted a spell. Minnie didn't know what the spell was."

She continued, "The two wizards took turns reciting the spell many times and then got angry and asked why it couldn't be fixed. Time was running out and one of the two tasks had to be completed."

Gloria was finally able to confirm that repairing things was also a task, but what was that cabinet?

Draco, who also heard this, did not expect it. "I will write a letter to ask my father."

After Minnie finished speaking, she saw Gloria's serious expression and burst into tears sadly, "It's Minnie's fault. I don't know what that cabinet is!"

"Don't cry." She said, "You did a good job. Go back to Slytherin Manor and let Coco give you a reward of the highest level. Go back now."

Minnie stopped crying, as if she couldn't believe that such a reward would be given to her. She was cautious for a moment, then obediently listened to her and disappeared.

Gloria immediately picked up a pen and wrote letters to everyone she knew, asking about the cabinets in the magical world and their functions.

He wrote and sent the letters one by one, but unfortunately the Phoenix Fawkes was not at school, so he could not send the letters to Headmaster Dumbledore.

The elf delivers letters very quickly and the address is correct, so it should have been delivered by now.

"Lori, I remembered something..."

Before Draco could finish his words, the two-way mirror that Gloria had placed on the table lit up.

She looked at the back and saw Sirius marked, she didn't expect him to return to his residence.

Sirius's face appeared on the other side of the mirror. "Leah, what happened to deliver the letter at this time?"

There was only about half an hour left before curfew, and generally she would not send a letter at this time.

"Something happened at school. Someone was secretly repairing a cabinet. I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I wanted to ask first."

Lupin's face also appeared, and Gloria frowned almost inaudibly.

"Are those people who have surrendered to the mysterious man repairing the cabinet?"

Gloria nodded. "It's Crabbe and Goyle from our school. They are repairing a cabinet in a magic room that only a few people know about. It's one of the tasks assigned by that person. They also have to find something very important to that person. As for what it is, I won't tell you until Headmaster Dumbledore is willing to tell you."

Lupin and Sirius looked at each other, and it was Lupin who spoke up, "We thought of a cabinet called the Vanishing Cabinet. During the First Wizarding War started by You-Know-Who, the Vanishing Cabinet was very popular. If a Death Eater came looking for them, they could hide in the cabinet and the cabinet would send them anywhere. But the effect was not stable, and the person would be sent back to the cabinet after about an hour or two."

Gloria's expression gradually became serious. "They want to find something and use the cabinet to leave Hogwarts. This way, no one will know what they took away. If they give the things to him, they can still leave the Room of Requirement normally."

"I'm afraid so." Sirius's face was also not good. "Whatever they are looking for, it is very important to the mysterious person... Leah, is it the thing mentioned in your father's letter?"

The word Horcrux was mentioned in Regulus' letter. At that time, Sirius was busy feeling relieved and sad, and did not think much about what a Horcrux was.

But he later came to his senses and asked Dumbledore about it. Dumbledore simply warned him sincerely not to say this word to anyone else.

"Yes."

"Dumbledore hasn't come back yet. We will find a way to contact him." Lupin said, "You have to be careful. You can tell the Aurors to catch them."

"The principal didn't allow it." Gloria said, "I noticed their unusual behavior a long time ago. At that time, I didn't know there was a task to repair something. I thought they were just looking for something, but I had already found that thing and solved it. The principal thought they were too young and were forced to accept the task, so he let them continue. I need to ask his opinion on how to solve this matter."

"We know." Sirius was a little depressed, and suddenly realized that his niece knew much more than he did. "I will tell Tonks that she can get in and out of Hogwarts more easily than the rest of us."

Gloria supported her chin with one hand. "It would be best if you could contact the principal and give me a reply as soon as possible."

It should be easier for a member of the Order of the Phoenix to contact the headmaster than for him.

"We will," said Lupin.

The two figures in the mirror disappeared, and Gloria put the mirror aside.

"I never expected that after they fixed the Vanishing Cabinet, they couldn't determine where to teleport to," she thought, "I didn't sense any Dark Mark on them either."

"Maybe without the Dark Mark." Draco sat down next to her. "Like you use a two-way mirror."

Gloria rubbed her brows and said, "It seems that what they are repairing now is the Vanishing Cabinet. I remember that it was placed on the fourth floor in the fifth grade. Fred and George even stuffed Mrs. Monta's head in it..."

She immediately thought that it was no coincidence that Montague was captured by the Death Eaters and kept by their side to do things, and that the Vanishing Cabinet was repaired.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked her.

"I'm afraid De Vries will need to make some efforts." Gloria said calmly: "Perhaps the Vanishing Cabinet can do more than just teleport."

"It was moved from the fourth floor to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor. It must be very important." Draco also realized that things were not simple. "I wanted to say before that before the second year started, I saw a Vanishing Cabinet in Borgin and Burke's. My father told me about it after I left."

"Bojinbok?"

This is so strange. Harry and the others also said that they saw Crabbe and Goyle in that shop, and they mentioned repairing things at that time. Are the two related, or did they go there to ask about the repair spell?

"Well, my house had a lot of... 'prohibited items' at that time. Weasley's father kept a close eye on my house, so I couldn't leave some of them there first." Speaking of that period, Draco felt as if it was a lifetime ago, "So at that time I hated the Weasley brothers and sisters very much."

Until now, this disgust has not faded at all.

After all this chat, there were only a few minutes left until curfew.

"You don't have to like them. Let's go." Gloria stood up first and extended her hand to Draco.

The two of them stood up and didn't bother to pack their things, and walked out of the secret room directly.

When they arrived at the lounge, there were still many people sitting on the sofa chatting. Gloria found that in a corner, Crabbe and Goyle stopped Pansy, Daphne and others, with threats on their faces not concealed at all.

The people who were threatened were full of resentment, but they had to agree.

Draco didn't notice the situation over there. He just hugged her and said, "Go to bed early. I believe we will get the answer soon."

Gloria nodded and parted with him. As for the group of people in the corner, they had already dispersed.
