The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1135: Gaunt House

Dumbledore felt a little ridiculous that Horace had disguised himself as an armchair and tried to deceive himself.

If it was a Death Eater, Horace's strategy might be able to deceive the opponent.

It's a pity that the probability that the person who came to Horace in the middle of the night was a Death Eater was not high, even he himself knew this.

Dumbledore was not surprised that Harry succeeded in persuading Slughorn to return to Hogwarts, and his old buddy apparently wouldn't pass up the opportunity to include The Boy in the Dead 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 before the number of Horcruxes made by Voldemort was pried out of Horace's mouth.

As for the number of Horcruxes predicted by Albert, Dumbledore was actually willing to believe it, but he couldn't risk it. He still needed to get his memory from Horace and reconfirm it.

I believe that Harry will definitely be able to complete this task very 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 fragments 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 left to completely destroy Voldemort.

Dumbledore has never been so optimistic about the future.

He went through the Pensieve again and relived the memory of Bob Ogden. This was not the first time Dumbledore had done this. He had forgotten how many times he had watched it since he obtained this memory. His gaze rested again on the ugly black gemstone ring on Gaunt's middle finger.

Marvolo Gaunt said that there was a coat of arms of Peverell on the gemstone, but Dumbledore did not think so. Although it was scratched due to a long time, Dumbledore recognized it at a glance. Deathly Hallows token.

The black gemstone on that ring is likely to be 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, and he is very likely to be injured or even seriously injured .

Dumbledore is actually reluctant to believe in so-called prophecies, because prophecies are too easily disturbed by various force majeure factors.

However, Albert Anderson's prediction was terrifying. The other party told him those things, probably hoping that he could avoid those dangers, avoid the death that might befall him, and pay back the debts he owed.

Maybe, I should go with Albert to find the Horcrux.

That's a great guy.

It's really hard to imagine that it took the other party only seven years to reach that incredible 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, pulled a memory from his mind and put it into the Pensieve.

Dumbledore has had a strange feeling since he learned that Albert has a strong ability of prophecy: Albert took himself to the Room of Requirement to find Ravenclaw's crown. Did he know that the crown is actually a crown? Is it a Horcrux?

At the beginning, Albert's statement was very perfect, so perfect that he never had any doubts. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he can't find any flaws, but that person is Albert after all. It's always right to have a little doubt, and he doesn't need any evidence. .

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 be seen and exposed than false ones.

At the beginning, every word Albert said to himself was true, but he may have passed the prophecy of awakening long ago, peeping into the short future, and foreseeing the Horcrux, just like he told him at the wedding. Said that hopefully Harry will 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 Suo.

It's a pity that Albert just got married, and now he's probably hiding again. Even if he wants to find someone, because of his personality like using the Charm of Faithful Loyalty, 80% of the time he can'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 Horcrux, the better.

Just give up?

That's obviously even more unlikely.

Although Albert's foreshadowing of danger made Dumbledore vigilant, it did not make him give up his summer plans and go to Gaunt's old house to search for Horcruxes. I am confident in my own strength.

The most important thing is that what is hidden in Gaunt's old house is probably the Deathly Hallows that Dumbledore has been eager to get 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 eventually decided to bring Fox on, and prepared for the worst, even though Fox was always there when he needed it most.

Fox uttered a low cry, as if responding to Dumbledore's words.

"Come on, we should go."

The phoenix flew into the air, 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 suburbs of Little Hangleton, and the night had well concealed his whereabouts.

This is not the first time he has come here, and this time his destination is not the village of Little Hangleton, but the old house of the Gaunt family who once lived nearby.

Dumbledore walked as fast as he could, not at all like an old man who had lived for a century. He plunged into the mountain road in the rugged area and walked directly into the depths of the mountain forest.

He had to stop when Dumbledore approached Gaunt's old house. Perhaps to prevent anyone from approaching, Voldemort used magic to surround Gaunt's old house with lush bushes, blocking intruders from the area.

"It seems that Tom's Horcrux is indeed hidden here." Dumbledore raised his wand to illuminate the area ahead, and murmured in a low voice, "Very secret protection magic. If you don't pay attention, Probably missed the entrance."

However, magic always leaves traces.

However, the wizards who can generally find traces of residual magic have extraordinary attainments in magic.

Dumbledore couldn't help but raise his vigilance. What means would Voldemort leave here to injure the invaders?

Otherwise, Albert would not remind him specially.

Dumbledore raised his wand and gently pushed aside the bushes and vines that were hanging in front of him, as if to dispel a fog, the spell originally used to block the invaders was easily broken.

After Dumbledore stepped in, he immediately felt that the surrounding atmosphere became extremely gloomy, as if something was staring at him.

Several dark shadows passed through the bushes, and Dumbledore quickly saw their true colors.

Infernal corpse.

A giant's corpse,

No, more than one.

Because someone broke in, all the corpses in this area were awakened.

If it happened by accident, it would be bad luck, because the way in was blocked again.

Dumbledore waved his wand deftly and easily expelled this group of dark magic creatures, he did not want to destroy the Inferi here, so as not to arouse Voldemort's vigilance.

Now, don't let Voldemort know that someone is eyeing his Horcrux, otherwise the next plan to destroy the Horcrux may be directly shattered.

After driving away the Inferi, the old man quickened his pace.

At the end of the field of vision was a hut covered with roots and moss, apparently abandoned for a long time. When Dumbledore was about to reach out and push the door, he suddenly stopped.
