Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1135: Gaunt Old House
Chapter 1137 Gunter's Old House
Dumbledore felt a little ridiculous that Horace had tried to deceive himself by disguising himself as an armchair.
If it was the Death Eaters who came, Horace's strategy might really be able to deceive them.
Unfortunately, the probability that the person who came to Horace in the middle of the night was a Death Eater was really not high, and even he himself knew this.
Dumbledore was not surprised that Harry had succeeded in persuading Slughorn to return to Hogwarts, and his old buddy would obviously not miss the opportunity to include the Boy Who Lived in his collection.
Moreover, for the elderly who want to live a quiet life, the life of moving all the time is too tiring.
After Horace agreed to teach at Hogwarts, his plan was half successful, and it was only a matter of time to pry out the number of Horcruxes made by Voldemort from Horace's mouth.
As for the number of Horcruxes predicted by Albert, Dumbledore is actually willing to believe it, but he can't take the risk because of this. He still needs to get his memory from Horace and reconfirm it.
I believe that Harry will definitely be able to complete this task well.
The Horcruxes that have been destroyed so far include a crown, a diary, and a poisonous snake, so there may only be the last three Horcruxes and Voldemort's main soul left.
As for the fragment on Harry's forehead, Dumbledore had already made arrangements.
As long as the ring is destroyed and the Horcrux predicted by Albert is found, then there is really only one step away from completely eradicating Voldemort.
Dumbledore had never been more optimistic about the future.
He passed through the Pensieve again to relive the memory of Bob Ogden. This is not the first time Dumbledore has done this. He has forgotten the number of times he has watched it since he obtained this memory. His gaze once again rested on the ugly black gemstone ring on Gaunt's middle finger.
Marvolo Gaunt said that there was Peverell's coat of arms on the gem, but Dumbledore didn't think so. Although it was scratched due to a long time, Dumbledore recognized it at a glance The Deathly Hallows mark on the gem.
The black gemstone on that ring is probably the legendary resurrection stone.
The longing in the eyes of the old man was quickly suppressed by reason, and he recalled what Albert said to him at the wedding: This adventure is very dangerous, he may be injured, or even was hit hard.
Dumbledore is actually not willing to believe in the so-called prophecy, because the prophecy is too easily disturbed by various irresistible factors.
However, Albert Anderson's prophecy was terrifyingly accurate. The other party told himself those things, probably hoping that he could avoid those dangers, avoid the death that might befall him, and repay the debt he owed by the way.
Perhaps, I should look for the Horcrux with Albert.
That's a great guy.
It's really hard to imagine that it only took seven years for the other party to reach that unimaginable height in magic.
It's a pity that Albert doesn't seem to be interested in finding the Horcrux, otherwise he would have offered to act with him long ago.
"What a cunning and mysterious fellow." Dumbledore pointed the tip of his wand at his temple, and put a memory from his mind into the Pensieve.
Ever since he learned that Albert has a strong prophecy ability, Dumbledore has a very strange feeling: Albert took himself to the Room of Requirement to find Ravenclaw's diadem. Did you know that the diadem is actually a Horcrux?
At the beginning, Albert's statement was so perfect that he never doubted it. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he can't find any flaws, but that person is Albert after all. No evidence is required.
Albert himself is a person who doesn't like to lie very much, and even rarely lies, but he is very good at lying, because true lies are harder to see through than false lies.
At the beginning, everything Albert said to himself was true, but he may have peeked into the short future through the prophecy he had awakened a long time ago, foreseeing the Horcrux, just like he said at the wedding Just like telling him that he hoped that Harry would eventually return to Hogwarts.
However, no matter what, I still have to thank the other party, and it is precisely because of the appearance of the crown that Dumbledore is sure that Voldemort created the Horcrux.
This is also the main reason why Voldemort was not directly killed by the Avada Kedavra Curse.
Unfortunately, Albert just got married, and now he is probably hiding again. Even if he wanted to find someone, with his personality that likes to use the Loyalty Charm, he probably couldn't find someone.
As for looking for the Horcrux with Harry?
Now is not the time.
Looking for someone else?
Obviously inappropriate, the less people know about Horcruxes, the better.
Just give up?
That is obviously even more impossible.
Although Albert's danger prediction made Dumbledore vigilant, it did not make him give up his summer plan and go to Gaunt's old house to find Horcruxes. Some things always need someone to do and take risks, and Deng Bullido is very confident in his own strength.
The most important thing is that what is hidden in Gaunt's old house is probably the Deathly Hallows that Dumbledore has wanted most for nearly a century: the Resurrection Stone.
Although these are still speculations, Dumbledore will not give up easily, he is eager to get the resurrection stone.
"Fox, I have to trouble you again this time." Dumbledore stroked Phoenix's head with his withered palm and whispered softly.
He finally decided to take Fox with him, planning for the worst, even though Fox was always there when he needed it most.
Fawkes chirped softly, as if in response to Dumbledore's words.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go."
The phoenix soared into the sky, rolled up a golden vortex, and disappeared directly into the principal's office with Dumbledore.
At this moment, when Dumbledore reappeared, he was already in the outskirts of Little Hangleton, and the night had well concealed his whereabouts.
This is not the first time he has come here, and this time the destination is not Little Hangleton Village, but the old house of the Gaunt family who used to live nearby.
Dumbledore walks like a fly, not at all like an old man who has lived for a century. He plunged into the rugged mountain road and walked directly into the depths of the forest.
When Dumbledore approached Gaunt's old house, he had to stop. Perhaps in order to avoid people approaching, Voldemort used magic to surround Gaunt's old house with lush bushes to block people who broke into this area.
"It seems that Tom's Horcrux is indeed hidden here." Dumbledore raised his wand to illuminate the area in front of him, and murmured in a low voice, "It's a very secret protective magic. If you don't pay attention, you may miss it." the entrance."
However, magic always leaves traces.
It's just that generally wizards who can find traces of magic have extraordinary attainments in magic.
Dumbledore couldn't help but be more vigilant. What means will Voldemort leave here to severely injure the invaders?
Otherwise, Albert would not specifically remind him.
Dumbledore raised his wand, and gently brushed aside the bushes and vines hanging in front of him, as if he had dispersed a fog. The spell that was originally used to block intruders was easily broken in this way.
After Dumbledore stepped in, he immediately felt that the surrounding atmosphere became extremely cold, as if something was staring at him.
Several black shadows flitted through the bushes, and Dumbledore quickly saw their true colors~IndoMTL.com~Inferi.
The corpse of a giant,
No, more than one.
Because someone broke in, all the corpses in this area were awakened.
If you broke in by accident, you will probably be in bad luck, because the way in is blocked again.
Dumbledore waved his wand lightly and easily expelled this group of dark magic creatures. He did not wantonly destroy the infernal corpses here, so as not to arouse Voldemort's vigilance.
Right now, Voldemort must not know that someone is targeting his horcruxes, otherwise the plan to destroy the horcruxes will be shattered.
After driving away the corpse, the old man quickened his pace.
At the end of the field of vision, there is a hut covered with tree roots and moss, which has obviously been abandoned for a long time. When Dumbledore was about to reach out to push the door, he suddenly stopped.
