At breakfast, Ted comforted the friends, and they came for them at noon.
Ted was a little strange. He looked at the anxious Ron and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it time for dinner?"
Ron waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey! Who said that! Do I just know that I can't eat it? Besides, I've seen the lunch menu, there are no new dishes..."
Jerry stabbed him quickly!
Ron suddenly realized: "Ah, I forgot what you said. Do you still remember Sir Cadogan?"
Hermione's eyes lit up: "You mean, treasure!" Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being heard.
Ted also suddenly realized that he had so many things to do during the holidays that he had forgotten about this matter.
"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot."
Ted admitted that he was indeed a noble man who forgot things~ and asked: "What, what news do you have?"
"Hehe!" Ron grinned and looked around at his friends: How are you? How about it? You don’t have to rely on me!
Finally Hermione spoke: "I checked..."
It turned out that Hermione looked up this Sir Cadogan in the library during her vacation.
But the general information is still about the characters in myths and legends, a member of the legendary Knights of the Round Table.
Ron: Just this, this, this? I was shocked, I thought I was doing useless work again!
He said mysteriously: "Do you know who showed us the way when we got lost in the divination class yesterday?"
"Who?"
"Sir Cadogan!"
"Ah! Did you find his ghost?"
"What a ghost! A portrait!"
It was too late yesterday, and he was frightened by the news of Neville's "death", so Ron forgot about it. I only remembered this when I woke up in the morning.
A few people didn't even have lunch for a while, so they went looking for portraits.
After asking around, I found out that Sir Cadogan is really disgusting. No one knows where his picture frame is. Even mentioning it makes me roll my eyes.
How did this happen?
Not to mention the portrait, not even the powerful ghost knows where he is.
Ted asked the two resident ghosts, the Fat Monk and Nearly Headless Nick, who had been in the castle for hundreds of years. They didn't know where the portrait of Sir Cadogan was.
It's not that I didn't know it all along, but Sir Cadogan's brain circuit is a bit single, and his behavior is a bit like a severely ill Don Quixote, which has had a very serious impact on other portraits.
So about two hundred years ago, his portrait was collected by school staff and stored separately.
Since then, there have been few opportunities for Sir Cadogan to come out and charge on horseback. Sometimes a young wizard has never seen him from the time he entered school until he graduated.
In this way, it was an unexpected surprise that Neville and the others met Sir Cadogan last time.
Ted looked at Neville: It's not necessarily an accident... These things tend to happen around Destiny's child.
Nothing came of it that day, but in the evening, Ted came up with an idea, or maybe he could find a "someone" to help.
Peeves!
If anyone could find a portrait of Sir Cadogan, it would be Peeves.
As for how to convince him... Ted went with a whip.
Peeves was very generous and agreed to help, saying it was his duty.
I really worked hard, and during breakfast the next day, I quietly told Ted that I had found it - in an abandoned utility room on the seventh floor of the steeple.
When Ted found Lord Cadogan's portrait, it was standing on the ground facing the wall, and the magic of the classroom was contained.
He guessed that the reason why Sir Cadogan appeared less was because the original staff moved his portrait to this room with a small supply of magic power.
It took a long time for Sir Cadogan to wake up from his slumber, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep again. Doesn’t this restrict him?
That's right, now Sir Cadogan is leaning on his horse, sleeping on the grass with snot and bubbles coming out of his nose.
Ted took the portrait directly to the secret base and allocated some magic power.
The more Ted studied the Room of Requirement and the information about the founding of the school left by Ms. Ravenclaw, the more magical and great he felt about Hogwarts.
It's really amazing that at the magic gathering point in the Scottish Highlands, mountains were artificially raised, schools were built, and such a complex and exquisite magic supply system was constructed.
I am afraid that it is this kind of large project that can be built together by four people who have reached the end of the wizard's road.
Speaking of which, with the supply of magic power, Sir Cadogan woke up not long after.
"Hmm~ I seem to have woken up a little early this time. Huh? Where is this place?!" Sir Cadogan shouted.
Ron, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, quickly asked: "Sir Cadogan, where is the treasure?"
But Sir Dogan raised his mustache and said, "Treasure, what treasure?" He looked confused, and it was not like he was 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 Gryffindor.
He existed hundreds of years earlier than Gryffindor.
But why is his portrait in the castle?
It is not certain whether there was such magic technology for moving portraits in that era. At least until now, the only magic portrait of that era was Sir Cadogan.
It must have been a portrait of Sir Cadogan painted by a later generation and then 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, the only one that is drawn according to the person, with the person's consent, and infused with the person's magic power. Only then will you have your own character and thoughts.
And some "original character paintings", such as fisherman and the like, only have very simple personalities, which are given by "painters" and wizards, and are not so distinctive.
The most typical ones are the portraits of the principal on the wall in the principal's office. They are much more flexible than the fat lady or the Air Force guy hanging on the wall. He is simply a person living in a picture frame.
Perhaps it is precisely because the characters in the painting are "self-created" according to legends, rather than drawn according to him, that Sir Cadogan is so out of tune.
…
It was now clear that Gryffindor had placed an obstacle in the way of Sir Cadogan, requiring conditions to be met in order to obtain the information.
Just like the Sorting Hat told Neville about the treasure after he got the Sword of Gryffindor and got approval.
Lord Cadogan should be the same.
But maybe he himself didn't know this happened, and he had to trigger a condition before he would react.
Ron, Harry and the others were chattering around Sir Cadogan, while Hermione whispered to herself: "The puzzles set by Gryffindor shouldn't be too complicated or too correct. He doesn't value it. wisdom……"
Just like the Sorting Hat said "the secret lies behind Slytherin", the message is really engraved on the back of the Slytherin statue, a straightforward one.
Ted continued her words: "So be direct and don't think too deeply."
Hermione nodded and said to Sir Cadogan: "Gryffindor asked us to come to you!"
Sir Cadogan, who was arguing with Harry and the others with great interest, suddenly froze, his eyes were dull, and he said, "Follow my deeds! The secret is there!"
"Huh? What's going on? Where did I say just now?" He asked confusedly, obviously unaware of what he said.
The friends were all stunned and couldn't care less about him. Instead, they all looked at Hermione.
