After a long time, Harry slowly recovered.
He told them what he saw in the illusion. Thirteen years ago, on the night Lord Voldemort fell from power, what happened in his home in Godric Valley.
The atmosphere was heavy. Elwyn, Ron, and Hermione all comforted Harry.
Hermione's eyes were red. When Harry talked about his parents' death, even Sirius could not help but wipe away his tears.
In the end, Sirius promised Harry that he would bring him back to Godric Valley this summer to visit his former home and his parents' grave.
This made Harry feel better. He was not so sad anymore. He asked Sirius about the past of Godric Valley and his parents.
Under Mageri's urging, Elwyn walked to the stone platform in front of the huge statue.
He did not know what he would encounter in the illusion. Harry, Ron, and Hermione all failed. The contents of their challenges were also completely different.
Ron faced the attack of the eight-eyed spider, which tested his fighting skills and courage. Hermione's test was her intelligence and her ability to understand and accept new spells. Harry's test was to overcome the weakest part of his heart and face death calmly.
The powerful magic that Gryffindor had left behind seemed to have its own consciousness. He must have seen something from the depths of their hearts to make such an arrangement.
Leaving Ron and Hermione aside, Elwyn knew that there was a fragment of Lord Voldemort's soul in Harry's body. To destroy that fragment, Harry had to die once.
Therefore, the last enemy to be eliminated was death.
Gryffindor seemed to be hinting to Harry. He used the illusion to replay the situation so that Harry could understand the origin of everything and his final fate.
However, in his infinite grief, Harry only paid attention to the appearance of his parents when they died.
Elwyn took a deep breath and stepped onto the black stone platform, unsure of what he would encounter.
Perhaps it was the deepest fear in one's heart, or perhaps it was an omen of the future.
With a flash of light, he entered the illusion spell.
Elwyn looked around. It was as if he and Hermione had returned to the Hogwarts. At this moment, he was standing in front of a huge stone door. This was the door to the headmaster's office.
He gently knocked on the door, and a deep knocking sound echoed in the space.
There seemed to be no one inside. Elwyn hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open and entering.
Unlike the decorations in Dumbledore's office, the quiet moonlight slowly fell from the window above and shone on the shining silver armor under the curtains.
The room was quiet. Four long tables were placed on the green marble floor that was carved with complicated patterns, dividing the room into four parts.
This was the office of the Big Four in the Hogwarts a thousand years ago. Everything was exactly the same as the last time Elwyn saw it. Nothing had changed.
The owners seemed to have left in a hurry and did not even have time to pack their things.
On the long table facing Elwyn, Hufflepuff's golden cup was filled with a chocolate-like drink, slowly steaming.
On the side, on the dark blue long table of Ravenclaw, there were many magic books and the time converter that had once brought Elwyn back a thousand years.
In the shadow where the moonlight could not reach, was Slytherin's dark silver-green long table.
Elwyn took a step forward and saw a dark gold scepter quietly placed on the left side of the table. The scepter had an oppressive aura, with two green snakes circling from the bottom to the top. The eyes and mouths of the snakes were closed. Elwyn carefully observed. He had seen the murals on the walls of the underground ruins before. The eyes and mouths of the two snakes were open.
He did not know what was going on. Maybe it was some kind of magic.
The scepter emitted a strange magic wave, attracting Elwyn to walk over. He could see the complex inscriptions carved in the ancient language.
He could not help but reach out, wanting to pick it up again and study it carefully.
"If I were you, I would not touch that thing. It is not a wise move …"
Just as Elwyn's hands were about to touch the scepter, a low, hoarse male voice suddenly sounded behind him. There was a hint of warning in the tone. Elwyn hurriedly turned around.
He saw a male Wizard with fiery red hair sitting behind Gryffindor's golden long table with a smile on his face. It was Gryffindor himself.
"Long time no see, little guy …" Gryffindor walked over and smiled at Elwyn. "Your strength has improved a lot since the last time we met."
"You …" Elwyn's eyes widened. He did not know what to say.
Although he knew that he would meet Gryffindor in the illusion, when the other party appeared in front of him, it still surprised Elwyn.
"Don't be so surprised. What you see now is only a part of my consciousness. It is the same magic that I used to instill in the Sorting Hat." Gryffindor said happily. "Originally, I could only talk to you in the treasure key, but with this Illusion Magic, I was able to transform myself and appear here."
Elwyn opened his mouth. Because he wanted to ask too many questions, he did not know where to start. He could only look at Gryffindor in front of him in shock.
"If you want to ask about this thing." Gryffindor did not care. He pointed at the strange giant scepter in front of Elwyn and explained, "It is called the Right of Peace. It is an heirloom of the Slytherin Family. It is said that it was passed down by the ancient Greek gods. The ancient gods threw the scepter between two biting snakes, and the two snakes reconciled. But in fact, this is a product made by the ancient magicians using the highest level of alchemy. It has very powerful magic. In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration to call it a divine artifact. "
"What is its use?" Elwyn asked subconsciously. He calmed himself down.
"It has many uses, far beyond the imagination of the world. But Salazar usually only uses it as an ordinary staff to prevent himself from falling suddenly." Gryffindor said with a smile. "Years of magic research put a heavy burden on his body. He is not as strong as he looks."
To be able to slander his close friend in front of Elwyn, he looked very happy.
"Alright kid, let us return to the main topic." After laughing for a long time, he continued, "Since you can come here, that means you should have found the treasure key I left in the centaur tribe."
"Yes, I saw the hint you left in the secret room." Elwyn nodded. "And from my black magic defense professor, Sirius Black, I found out that the centaur tribe has a very powerful magic item. So we found this place."
