Chapter 232

After all, even if Ye Ting promised to destroy Voldemort, it would take time.

Also, if Burns does nothing, even if Ye Ting eliminates Voldemort, she won't gain much.

If Bones could make preparations even after Voldemort's resurrection, then even if the plan went smoothly, these preparations would be useless. If Voldemort was killed by Ye Ting before he really showed his power, Bones himself would still gain huge popularity.

After all, all her preparations at least prove that she can make a difference, she has foresight, etc. Fudge's clumsy will set off her brilliant.

However, today's Borns has to face the embarrassment of being understaffed.

Of course, Penello and Zhang Qiu were not under Burns, but Manasseh didn't know that.

So, Penello's explanation perfectly fooled her.

"So, what news do you two want to ask?" Manasseh finally got to the point.

"It is rumored that the Smith family is a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff, is this true?" Zhang Qiu asked in a timely manner.

"Of course," Manasseh said with a little pride, holding his head up. "Our family tree goes all the way up, and we can indeed trace back to Helga Hufflepuff. In fact, our family has been through generations. They all graduated from Hufflepuff College."

"So, do you know the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup?" Penello asked.

"Hufflepuff's Gold Cup?" Manasseh became vigilant as soon as the name was mentioned. She frowned and looked at Penello, "Why do you want to know about this? What is your purpose?"

There was something wrong with Manasseh's reaction. The two looked at each other, and finally Penello replied, "This is a very serious secret. I can only say that this secret is related to the Dark Lord."

"The Dark Lord?" Manasseh's frown deepened.

"Perhaps you've heard of another name for him," Zhang Qiu added, "Tom Riddle."

"Ah, it's him!" After hearing the name, Manasseh immediately exclaimed, "I seem to know him... So it is... The real murderer is him!"

Seeing Manasseh's sudden realization, the two girls looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

After a long while, Penello asked tentatively, "Excuse me, is Tom Riddle related to Hufflepuff's Gold Cup?"

"Well, that's a long story," Manasseh sighed, softening his tone, "For the sake of making me want to know the truth, I'll tell you about Hedge. The whereabouts of the Pachi Gold Cup, it has something to do with what happened 49 years ago..."

Chapter 0319 Voldemort betrayed Hue?

As Manasseh spoke, Zhang Qiu and Penello finally understood the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup.

Manasseh told them that, in fact, Hufflepuff's gold cup has always been the Smith family heirloom, which is why they dare to call themselves descendants of Hufflepuffs.

As the person who inherited most of the Smith family's inheritance, Hepziba Smith naturally inherited Hufflepuff's gold cup and kept the gold cup at home.

However, this family heirloom disappeared unexpectedly in 1946 after the death of Hepzibah Smith himself.

According to the original Ministry of Magic investigation, Hepzibah Smith was accidentally poisoned by a dim-eyed house-elf.

When the house-elves were convicted, Hepzibah's family discovered that Hepzibah Smith's most valuable treasure, Hufflepuff's gold cup, had been lost.

Moreover, at the same time, another equally precious collection, Slytherin's pendant, was lost. This news made Zhang Qiu and Penello extremely excited, because this was also the target they were looking for.

Hepzibah Smith had paid a premium for the collection at Borgin-Bock antiques, and Bork had bought it from a shabby woman—in fact, Voldemort's mother, She ran away from home and stole Slytherin's pendant to be with old Riddle, who was a Muggle, however, eventually old Riddle discovered her witch identity and abandoned her.

In poverty, she had to sell her belongings, and Slytherin's pendant was one of them.

It took the Smith family a while to figure this out, because Hepzibah has many secret hiding places and always takes her collection very seriously.

"So, Hufflepuff's golden cup just disappeared?" Zhang Qiu was a little disappointed, because it meant that their clues were broken again.

However, Penello was keenly aware of something.

"Ms. Manasseh, you think that the death of Ms. Hepzibah is related to the Dark Lord, right?" She spoke her judgment cautiously.

"That's right... at least that's what I think - if your news is correct, because, the man named Tom Riddle, I've seen him."

"Have you seen... the Dark Lord when you were young?" Zhang Qiu and Penello realized that they seemed to have found some great news.

"Ah, yes, I did see that man, right here in the house, with my sister. At the time, he seemed to be a clerk at Borgin-Bock Antiques. If Hufflepuff's Gold Cup really If it has something to do with the Dark Lord, then it is very likely that he killed my sister and took the golden cup."

To their dismay, however, Manasseh seemed to have only seen the Dark Lord as a young man, and only knew of the events there.

So, is it true that the two girls are still

law to make judgments.

Until, Ye Ting, Hermione and Furong brought back the resurrection stone.

Through the resurrection stone, they can temporarily resurrect key witnesses, so as to understand everything that happened 49 years ago.

So they visited Manasseh again, and this time, they managed to get Manasseh to resurrect her sister, Hepzibah herself.

However, Hepzibah also seemed to think that she was accidentally poisoned by her house elf, but from her mouth, the two girls learned more accurate information at the time.

While working at Borgin Bock, Tom Riddle became good friends with Hepzibah, and she was very infatuated with Riddle, a handsome young man, and Tom himself was friendly to Hepzibah, flattering her to let her Happy.

For a long time, Hepzibah did not notice the dark and greedy nature of Riddle.

Once, Riddle went to visit Hepzibah at Mr. Bock's order, ostensibly to negotiate with her about selling goblin armor. But on this visit, Hepzibah flippantly shows Tom two of his most precious treasures: Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket.

When Tom grabbed the locket into his hand, she caught a glimpse of the greedy red light flashing in Tom's eyes, and she did have a bad premonition at that time.

Two days later, she herself died inexplicably.

All this is confirmed by the resurrected house-elf Hokey, who also mentions that shortly after Hepzibah's death, "the clerk of Bogin Burke, the one who often visited Hepzibah. And the youth who would please her like that” has resigned and disappeared.

His boss didn't know where he was going either, and he was as surprised as anyone else.

Tom Riddle disappeared for a long time.

Reminiscent of what they learned when they exchanged information with Ye Ting and the three, about Voldemort modifying his uncle, Morfin Gaunt's memory, so that he thought he killed the Riddle family and took the blame for Voldemort himself, Penello. And Zhang Qiu immediately came to a conclusion.

It was Voldemort who poisoned Hepzibah to steal Hufflepuff's gold cup and Slytherin's locket, and he used the same method to modify Hokey's memory and let the poor domestic The elf took the blame.

Although this is a bit difficult for ordinary people to understand, it is indeed something that Voldemort can do.

After all, the arrogant heir of Slytherin has always regarded Slytherin's locket as his own, and such a historic antique as Hufflepuff's gold cup also has considerable importance to him. attractive.

In order to get these, Voldemort even put down his figure and sold his looks to please an old and fat woman who felt good about herself.

Ye Ting even thought maliciously, maybe Voldemort had a more intimate relationship with her in order to make Hepziba really trust him.

Even Penello and Zhang Qiu felt that this experience was a dark history that Voldemort himself absolutely did not want to mention again.

However, the whereabouts of the Hufflepuff Gold Cup seems to be broken here.

No one knew where Voldemort would hide the golden cup after that.

However, Ye Ting made a conjecture that seems reasonable (spoiler)
