Elwyn had originally come back to do this, to return the real Coronet to Rowena Ravenclaw.
He even suspected that Ravenclaw might have predicted that Helena would steal her Coronet and had planned to use this method to get the Coronet back to her. If she was really as smart as the rumors said, it was not impossible for her to plan these things.
In any case, the fact that Elwyn returned the Coronet to Ravenclaw had been included in the rules of time.
No matter what happened after that, the subsequent events within the rules would not change. However, there would still be direct changes. The plot of the pure-blooded Sorcerer family did not succeed. They did not use this matter to ruin Ravenclaw's reputation. If they did not handle it well, their own reputation would be tarnished.
The boy from the Peverell family seemed to have accepted the shocking news.
"Are you sure that Ms. Ravenclaw's Coronet isn't real?" he asked. "Just now in the auditorium, I saw her put the Coronet on her head. This isn't a joke, Malfoy. If we stand up to point out the truth and prove that the Coronet on her head is real and that it wasn't stolen by her daughter like you said, you should know the consequences of doing so! "
"Obviously, but the information we have is certainly true, and I can guarantee it with an unbreakable oath."
There was another moment of silence outside the door.
Even through the thick curtains and the door, Elwyn could sense that Clive was thinking.
"If I believe you, what are you going to do?"
"Originally, we planned to wait for Barlow to come back and get the real Coronet from him, but because of that damned proposal, it's too late to continue waiting. We can't let the Hogwarts continue to expand their influence. We have to act as soon as possible." Malfoy said, "I think that Madam Ravenclaw's speech today is a very good opportunity. Many important people are present …"
"Are you going to expose this here?! You're crazy, no one will believe us! "
"Lady Ravenclaw's Coronet is a magic item left from the Age of the Gods. Clive, your family also has a few magic items from that period as family heirlooms, right?" Malfoy said unhurriedly. "With your status, you should be qualified to touch them?"
"Of course, the Peverell family is the oldest. Of course we have magic items from that period, but …"
"Then you should know that there is a special magic that can verify the magic items of that period."
"You …"
"Yes, we invited an important person from the Roman Curia. He will use magic to prove that Ms. Ravenclaw's Coronet is fake. By then, we will announce the scandal that Helena stole her Coronet. Ms. Ravenclaw will be done for. She won't be able to explain this at all." Malfoy said. "I came with you to find Annie to confirm the bishop's whereabouts. He has already arrived at Hogsmeade!"
"Since you've already planned this, why do you still need me? The Malfoy family must have paid a huge price to invite a cardinal who is proficient in prophecy from the Roman Curia to do this for you, right? "
"As long as it can be solved with gold, it's not worth mentioning to the Malfoy family. As for why I told you about this plan, as I've said just now, pure-blooded wizard families always advance and retreat together. " Malfoy said, resuming his glib tone. "We've already greeted the guests today. Now, we only need one last step. As long as someone stands up to question Ms. Ravenclaw's Coronet, we can naturally invite the bishop who is waiting at Hogsmeade. I should be the one doing this, but you know me, Clive, I don't like to be in the limelight, and you need this opportunity! "
"What do you mean? I don't understand … "
"It's obvious. The Coronet on Ms. Ravenclaw's head is a fake. The person who stands up to say this will receive unimaginable prestige. Think about it, after today, all wizards will know that it's you, Clive Peveril, who defeated Rowena Ravenclaw. You defeated the smartest wizard in the world and made her taste defeat for the first time in her life. " Malfoy paused and continued, "You'll go down in history, Clive. As the only wizard who defeated Ms. Ravenclaw, everyone will know your name. When that time comes, it'll be easy for you to do anything, such as proposing marriage to the Blake family …"
"But, but …"
"No buts, Clive. Anyone can stand up and do this, like Gower. He and his family can't wait for this opportunity." Malfoy shook his head. "He begged me many times, but I rejected him. It's because we're close that I gave this opportunity to you."
"What I mean is, if I point this out, how will I face Ms. Ravenclaw's anger?"
"Don't worry about this. Pure-blooded wizard families advance and retreat together. No matter who it is, they'll see that we did this together. They won't vent their anger on you alone." Malfoy said, "Besides, if the Coronet is proven to be fake, do you think the Ravenclaw family will have time to pay attention to you? Do you think our families will really give them this opportunity? To be honest, if Ms. Ravenclaw really attacks you and her own students out of anger, then she's completely finished. I can't wait for her to do that! "
"But there are three other professors …"
"The Hogwarts aren't as united as a piece of iron. I heard that Professor Slytherin and the other three founders have a big disagreement on the matter of recruiting mudbloods. He has the same idea as us. Our next step is to cooperate with him. Maybe Professor Slytherin wants to take charge of the Hogwarts alone. We can help him. Don't worry about Professor Hufflepuff. As long as we can get the Elders to make a concession on the matter of raising elves at home, she'll compromise. Professor Gryffindor is indeed a problem, but it's not like you're going to fight him. What's there to be afraid of?! "
"But …"
"There's no time to hesitate, Clive. This is our only chance," said Malfoy. Malfoy said, "Let's go back to the auditorium. I've had someone check, and Annie is not nearby. She might have already gone back. You can take a few minutes to think about this. If it doesn't work out, I'll have Gaul come!"
"That Coronet, Malfoy, if this thing succeeds, the Peverell family must have it."
"Greedy idea. If you really want to break with the Ravenclaw family, then take it. I'll ask someone to tell you Barrow's whereabouts."
Footsteps could be heard outside the door. Elwyn walked out from behind the thick curtain.
