"However, just wearing it on your head like this doesn't seem to be very appropriate."
Wearing the crown on his head and looking at himself in the mirror, George couldn't help but furrow his brow.
The Ravenclaw crown is a shimmering tiara adorned with many gems, the bottom edge of which bears the famous motto of Ravenclaw – "Superior intellect is the greatest treasure of humanity."
The crown is very feminine, and it looks like a princess when worn on a girl's head, but it looks too awkward when worn on a boy's head.
"Ravenclaw didn't even consider that her future heirs might include boys," he said.
After thinking it over, he quickly came up with an idea.
"Flamel!"
He reached out his left hand and summoned a hat that was common among male wizards of this era. He activated the spell of enlightenment to bestow it with wisdom, then placed the crown inside the hat. The hat extended and covered it.
A crown disguised as a hat appeared.
Wearing the hat on his head, George finally smiled contentedly as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"It feels quite comfortable."
The moment the hat was placed on his head, the magic of the Ravenclaw crown took effect.
He felt a surge of fresh air directly flowing into his brain from the top of his head. Under the influence of that air, his brain suddenly became much clearer, and his thoughts felt significantly faster than before.
To put it in an analogy, before wearing the crown, it's like that mental state in the afternoon around 3-4 PM during work or school.
Drowsy and with extremely low levels of learning and work efficiency.
Wearing the crown, it feels like sleeping for eight hours without dreaming, waking up brushing your teeth and washing your face just as you step outside, feeling refreshed and energetic.
After obtaining the crown, he spent several hours studying in the House of Wanting Everything before returning to his room.
Meanwhile, a massive python in the Albanian Great Forest suddenly dropped from a tree, emitting an angry hiss.
"Why, why does my soul object lose another one?"
It was precisely the Dark Lord Voldemort, whose name no one in the wizarding world dared to mention, and whose name was referred to instead as the mysterious person.
He was killed by the Killing Curse he cast towards the prophecy child, Harry Potter, and his physical body perished. His soul, however, escaped and fled to the familiar Albanian Great Forest where it attached itself to weak animals to survive.
In his current state, he was unable to possess magical creatures and could only possess ordinary animals. However, possessing ordinary animals severely limited his strength.
Moreover, there was Dumbledore, whose power he couldn't guarantee to defeat even in his prime, and most of his loyal followers were already in Azkaban. The remaining Death Eaters also didn't come forward to find him.
So he dared not go out to cause trouble.
Until three years ago, he met Quirinus Quirrell, who was on vacation here, and turned him into his loyal servant, allowing him to return to Hogwarts by residing in Quirrell's brain.
Unfortunately, the plan to revive using the Philosopher's Stone failed due to Harry's existence, leading to Quirrell's death and forcing him to flee back to the Albanian Great Forest in shame.
The next year, he felt that the soul object diary he had placed at the Malfoy family's home was mysteriously destroyed.
He speculated that it might be the traitorous Malfoy who had given the diary to Dumbledore, allowing Dumbledore to destroy his soul object.
Although he was very angry at the time, there was no way to do anything.
And he believed that even though the diary was destroyed, he still had four other soul objects. Those four were well-hidden and surrounded by many magical traps, so they should not cause any problems.
However, this year, another soul object was destroyed, leaving him with only three left.
The crucial point was that he feared whether Dumbledore had discovered the clues about him making soul objects and was personally going to find and destroy each of his soul objects.
If that were the case, the trouble would be even greater.
If all three remaining soul objects were destroyed, his soul would no longer be protected. He believed that Dumbledore would certainly personally lead a group of Aurors and other high-level wizards to find and kill him completely.
So he panicked and got angry.
"Can't just sit and wait any longer; we have to take the initiative. It's not as if we have no means of retaliation since we've managed to tame a blood curse orc."
This year, he found an extremely suitable being to possess in the forest - a blood curse orc.
Blood curse orcs are not magical creatures but are instead wizards who have been cursed with blood magic.
Blood magic is a hereditary spell that is passed down maternally to all future female descendants, allowing them to freely transform between humans and snakes.
However, after reaching a certain age, they will be forced to permanently transform into giant snakes, losing all memory and becoming completely cold-blooded animals.
But this giant snake is no ordinary giant snake. Although it is not a magical creature, it also carries the bloodline of a wizard, possessing strong lethality and even the ability to cast spells.
Voldemort, as a Serpent-Tongue, can also use Nagi's magic to cast spells after possessing her body. This is much stronger than possessing an ordinary giant snake, but it still cannot compare to his own body.
originally he wanted to wait and see if he had a chance, if not, waiting for years until Dumbledore died, so that he could come up with another plan to revive himself, the difficulty and risk would be much less.
Unfortunately, time did not wait for him. He feared that waiting any longer might lead to the destruction of all his soul objects.
After a night of reflection, he finally made up his mind to take the initiative. He decided to possess Nagini and leave the Albanian Great Forest for Azkaban.
Why go to Azkaban? Because he needs help to revive himself first.
But now that people like Lord Malfoy and other Death Eaters who used to serve him but are now trying to distance themselves from him, he no longer trusts them.
The ones he trusts the most are those Death Eaters who have been captured and tortured in Azkaban, some of whom would rather be captured than admit to being under his control and thus exonerated by the Avada Kedavra curse.
As for how to free these Death Eaters, he has also come up with a plan, though it's risky.
His method was not difficult and was something he excelled at - tempting and convincing the head of the Dementors, who were in charge of Azkaban.
He intended to make the Dementors his allies, thus enabling the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban to escape.
As long as he had loyal followers, the resurrection plan could then be officially put into motion.
Three days later, the results of the ultimate wizard exam were announced, and George topped the list with an outstanding performance in all twelve subjects.
The second-place went to Percy Weasley, Ron's brother.
On the day the results were announced, George, Percy, and several other high-performing seventh-year wizards submitted their applications for employment with the Ministry of Magic.
Working at the Ministry of Magic is the best employment option for most seventh-year wizards upon graduation, although only a few are recruited each year, and sometimes none are hired.
The next day, for some unknown reason, the Ministry of Magic processed the applications faster than usual, providing a response half a month sooner than usual.
