Chapter 104 Summer Homework
Halia didn't expect that Dumbledore would take out the Horcrux at this moment—there was a diary and a ring on the principal's desk, and the two things seemed to have been damaged for a while.
There is a big empty hole in the middle of the cover of the diary, and beside the big hole is a dark black liquid, which looks like ink or dried blood; a black gemstone is inlaid in the center of the gold ring, and there is a line in the center of the black gemstone. Slender cracks.
Halia looked at Dumbledore's hands almost subconsciously, wanting to confirm whether his hands had turned black.
Dumbledore's hands were just old, with his elbows on the table, his fingers facing each other, forming a tower shape, his chin on the highest point of his fingertips, and his sharp eyes looked straight at Halia across the half-moon-shaped glasses: "Leah, why do you think you should call Harry?"
Of course it is because Harry is the savior who destroys the Horcruxes and the Dark Lord in the prophecy!Halia didn't dare to think too much in her heart, worried that Dumbledore would see her thoughts, so she could only smile awkwardly: "Uh, the dark magic aura above is obvious, and we just talked about Voldemort. My first reaction was Yeah, it's Voldemort's stuff, so maybe Harry should know?"
Halia felt that Dumbledore's eyes had been focused on her face, and she forced a smirk, for fear that Dumbledore would know that she saw that such a thing was a Horcrux.
Unexpectedly, Dumbledore spoke again soon, as if he changed his mind in an instant: "Leah, I heard that you plan to do some investigations alone during the summer vacation, such as investigating the Death Eaters who have been accused, and Voldemort planning Big events that have been played. I would like to add one more element to both of your investigations, looking for occurrences of this name."
Dumbledore said, picked up the quill, and wrote a name on the parchment.
"Tom Marvolo Riddle?" Halia narrowed her eyes to recognize the name, trying to suppress the shock in her heart, pretending not to understand, "Is he the owner of these two things?" Hali Ya pointed to the diary and ring on the desk with her finger.
Dumbledore looked at Halia and nodded.
Halia considered the words for a while, and then asked: "Then what is his relationship with Voldemort?"
Dumbledore smiled: "This is Voldemort's name. I hope you can look up his name and look for the same period to see if there is anything meaningful missing."
Halia wanted to answer immediately: Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's diadem.But she just nodded in mock embarrassment: "I try? Any clues? What counts as meaningful? Those two? What are they?"
"This is his diary when he was a student at Hogwarts." Dumbledore picked up the diary, and then picked up the ring. "This should be a family heirloom of his family."
Halia took out the parchment and began to record: "The Riddle family?"
"The Gaunt family, the previous owner of the ring is likely to be Marvolo Gaunt." Dumbledore watched Halia record, very much like the reporters he had faced before, "Leah, What we are saying now, we cannot let other people know. At least not for now."
"I just memorized a few names, some of which are not easy to spell, and I am worried about making mistakes. I will not publish these, let alone the content of the summer homework you assigned." Halia scratched her head and put down The parchment in hand, "Is Marvolo Gaunt a...relative of Voldemort?"
Dumbledore smiled at Halia: "You need to investigate, Leah. I also got this ring by accident last summer. Lordana invited me to investigate an old house full of black magic last summer. .”
Halia suddenly realized: "Remember, Lordana got a piece of information about Gaunt's mansion that time, and called me to come over. When we went, the black magic detector kept ringing, so we went back .So it was you who went with her afterwards."
Dumbledore nodded to Halia with a smile, agreeing with Halia's statement.
"Did you recognize what kind of black magic this is?" Halia asked curiously, pointing to the ring, "What if I encounter it again in an old house?"
"It's not the time to talk about this yet, but if you look up Tom's name successfully, maybe you can find out during the summer vacation." Dumbledore said to Halia with a smile, as if encouraging her to investigate.Then he signaled that he had nothing else to say, and if Halia was fine, she could go back to the common room.
Halia breathed a long sigh of relief after leaving Dumbledore's office.She wasn't sure if her playfulness was recognized.She always felt that Dumbledore didn't want her to check Voldemort's growth records when he took out these two things at the beginning.Besides, she knew some things about Voldemort without looking it up.
But she couldn't tell Dumbledore directly, she knew it was a Horcrux, and she knew where the rest were.When asked how to know, there is no way to explain.It was as if the atmosphere around Dumbledore changed suddenly when she asked why Harry wasn't listening.
This feeling reminded Halia that when Lordana first taught her to write a press release, because she had a good chat with Lordana, when Lordana sent her a task, Halia was too talkative A question was asked, and a page originally assigned to her was assigned back by Lordana.
what about now? "Loldana" is Dumbledore, what is the "page assigned to her"?Horcrux?
Halia was frightened by her guess.But couldn't help but keep thinking: Did Dumbledore want her to destroy the Horcruxes?Why?Does he think he did well in the third project?But why not let Harry go?Because Dumbledore knew Harry was already a Horcrux?So you plan to let yourself destroy the Horcrux directly?
Halia shook her head, thinking that if Dumbledore knew about these thoughts, he would say them again——Leah, this is an exaggerated accusation.
Halia thought about it, and saw Fred and George waiting for her in the corridor outside the principal's office not far ahead, walked a few steps faster, threw herself on them, and said in a muffled voice: "Information It's too much, and I can't turn my mind."
In fact, Halia's guess was completely wrong, because she knew that the two things were Horcruxes, so she took it for granted that Harry should also know about Horcruxes.But Dumbledore was just going to tell her that those two things were Horcruxes, and then asked her to find clues to other Horcruxes.
However, Halia's expression when she mentioned Harry at the time seemed to have known what those two things were for a long time.Dumbledore felt that Halia seemed a little too clever at that time—as if she had made or seen someone else make a Horcrux.
Therefore, Dumbledore had to temporarily change his mind and asked her to check the records about Voldemort.He worried that the longer Halia was exposed to the dark arts, the more unpredictable the changes during the summer vacation would be.After all, the other end of Halia's magic power is connected to Voldemort.
As for Harry, Dumbledore hoped that he could learn about Horcruxes after he learned "Occlumency".
Dumbledore walked to a cabinet in the principal's office, where there was a Pensieve. Dumbledore fiddled with the memories in the basin with his wand. The memories gathered and dispersed like smoke, and finally a witch wearing big glasses appeared. face, talking with eyes closed: "...The Dark Lord marked him as his rival..."
