boom!
As the fire that filled the field of vision dissipated for a moment, Avada and Dumbledore once again appeared in the Horcrux cave left by Voldemort.
Due to Dumbledore’s schedule, he has not yet allowed reporters to enter the cave, and naturally those terrifying Inferi have not yet appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet. However, he had already leaked the news one step ahead, claiming that he had obtained yet another piece of evidence of Voldemort’s crimes that was too numerous to describe, and it was probably just a few days before he invited reporters into the cave. But he definitely didn’t have time to make the battle too big. After all, in a while, the top wizards from all over the world would gather together at his invitation.
But these are all original plans – Hufflepuff’s golden cup is equivalent to providing a new way to transfer the potion without consuming it. It is essentially equivalent to letting Voldemort hold the potion in his mouth for a while and then spit it out. …So through Hufflepuff’s Golden Cup, Dumbledore could completely transfer the potion to a more professional and well-equipped laboratory for specialized research, without having to spend so much time transforming the Horcrux Cave.
But at the same time, this also means that a lot of the previous work of the seven people in Avada has been in vain – originally, the group of big guys had to go through the passages opened by the students every time they entered and exited the cave, subconsciously improving one level. I had a lot of impressions of the seven of them, but now this opportunity has been ruined…
“Please give Hufflepuff’s gold cup to me temporarily, and then stay where you are, Mr. Ken.”
Dumbledore took the initiative to stand in front of Avada and said in a very serious tone: “We are currently unable to confirm whether that pot of potion is the final trap. If Voldemort is smarter, he may very well put another insidious person in it. The intruder who was paralyzed by the simple levels before was caught off guard…”
“…Okay, Professor.”
Avada hadn’t thought about this level – after all, Voldemort really wasn’t that smart.
Who would have thought that in the process of Voldemort’s plan, the person who drank the potion would eventually die after obtaining the Horcrux and letting his accomplices safely transfer it away, before being dragged into the water by the Inferi?
“Fox, you stay here with Ken.”
After taking the golden cup from Avada, Dumbledore waved to his phoenix: “As soon as something unexpected happens, take Ken back to Hogwarts immediately, and then come back to me. Come on. Mr. Ken, you also need to back off a little more…The last obstacle is often the craziest and most destructive.”
“…”
Avada had no choice but to silently retreat to the entrance of the cave under Fox’s gaze. She watched Dumbledore waving the Elder Wand and applying a large number of protective spells on himself that would be considered indestructible even if picked alone. He carefully walked across the bridge he built, and finally stood in front of the stone basin. He slowly used his wand to control the gold cup to float, and gradually leaned towards the liquid surface of the potion…
Under Dumbledore’s unprecedented serious gaze, the rim of Hufflepuff’s golden cup touched the liquid surface of the green potion without any hindrance, causing slight ripples.
He nervously stopped the golden cup and began to observe it carefully. After confirming that the potions would not cause any damage to the precious golden cup, he hesitated for a moment before continuing to control the sinking of the golden cup. got up. More and more green potion poured into the golden cup, but the tiny space that could be seen at the bottom seemed to be unable to be filled no matter how much it was filled. As the green liquid continued to pour in, the liquid surface It also began to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye…
Dumbledore slowly retreated a distance, and added a few more extremely strong protections to himself.
However, what he was worried about did not happen – as the liquid level continued to drop, a golden object surface gradually emerged, and its true form continued to emerge from the green potion… When the last person in the stone basin When a drop of the magic potion was completely absorbed by the golden cup, the golden object seemed to be in contact with some kind of seal, giving people a feeling of being suddenly loosened – now it could be moved freely.
“I think you can come over, Mr. Ken.”
Dumbledore first stared blankly at the golden object for a while, and then looked at the Hufflepuff golden cup filled with green liquid, which was currently suspended stably in the air by his magic, and then turned back and called out. Avada in the distance: “There are no unnecessary traps, it’s already safe here.”
“What’s in it, Professor?”
Avada hurriedly crossed the bridge to the island in the middle of the lake, and then immediately used her magic senses to check Hufflepuff’s golden cup – fortunately, as he had concluded before, those green potions did not affect Hufflepuff’s golden cup. The soul and Horcrux magic inside causes intrinsic damage, and since the golden cup was not given consciousness and mobility by Voldemort, it will not even feel the pain caused by the potion, and naturally it will not cause additional damage due to the struggle. variables…
This thing was simply born to deal with those potions.
“You did me a big favor again, Mr. Ken.”
Dumbledore looked at him deeply: “You have pushed Voldemort’s death a big step forward – in my original expectation, the Horcrux here was almost the most difficult one to solve, and Voldemort The survival of the soul will always bring thoughts to his old subordinates, which only increases the variables… Now I can breathe a sigh of relief.”
“And the conditions in the laboratory can be improved a lot – you don’t have to modify the cave anymore.”
After Avada implicitly reminded Dumbledore to give some benefits to several students, including herself, she also turned her gaze to the golden object at the bottom of the stone basin with a curious expression: “What is this, Professor?”
“If I’m not mistaken,”
Dumbledore also looked at the object and sighed: “This should be a relic of Salazar Slytherin, the legendary Slytherin’s locket…it was also touched by Voldemort.”
“But this is not too surprising. After all, he seems to be focusing on transforming the relics of the founder of Hogwarts into Horcruxes. As a descendant of Slytherin, this locket is the easiest thing for him to obtain. …Fortunately, Godric Gryffindor’s relics were not defiled by him – Gryffindor only left one commemorative item, and that item has been safely stored in Hogwarts… …”
‘Of course, that thing has always been hidden in the Sorting Hat… By the way, the function of the Sword of Gryffindor is not to stab a student directly to Azkaban when the Sorting Hat decides to sort him into Azkaban, right? ’
Avada complained silently in her heart and then looked at the golden locket again: “Can we try to open it, Professor?”
