Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 364 358. Marvolo Gaunt’s Ring

"What professor? Do you mean Snape?"

Ron's first reaction was to ask Snape to serve as their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

He has always wanted this position.

Harry looked at Ron and said nothing. He just sighed, patted him on the shoulder, then turned to the others and said, "If anyone wants to study with us, please come over."

"Harry, what do you mean?"

Ron looked confused.

So in the Room of Requirement, a group of fifth-grade wizards began to practice Defense Against the Dark Arts under the remote guidance of a telephone bug.

Principal's office.

One is thin and the other is strong, the old and the young are sitting face to face, big eyes staring at small eyes.

Above, the principals of Hogwarts were gathering together and discussing something in a low voice. Fox was preening his feathers in his nest. After he had preened all his feathers, the two of them still maintained their original posture. .

"Professor Dumbledore, this thing is dangerous. I think you should give it to me."

In the end it was Dudley who broke the silence, but as soon as he spoke, Dumbledore's expression changed slightly.

Dumbledore: "."

Why do I feel like it should be me who says this?

I'm the headmaster of Hogwarts, right?

There is a ring on Dumbledore's desk.

A ring set with jet black gemstones, with a last name engraved on the ring - Gunter.

"Leave it to me, Professor Dumbledore."

Dudley looked at the old headmaster with burning eyes. He recently accidentally discovered that something was wrong with Dumbledore, and then he discovered the ring.

"Dudley." Dumbledore's blue eyes kept flashing, and he was having a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.

This was the first time in the next few decades of his life that he had the idea of ​​taking something as his own.

"You should know that it will not fulfill your wishes."

Dudley emphasized.

"I know, of course I know." Dumbledore murmured, looking away from the ring as much as possible.

"But even if it's a phantom, I want to see it. Even if it's just once."

Dumbledore could look down on everything, but he couldn't let go of his sister's incident.

The ring on the table seemed to be exuding incomparable temptation, as if someone was constantly whispering in his ear.

Wear it, wear it, and you can see anyone you want to see.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's amazing perseverance, someone else might have put it on long ago.

"So annoying!"

Dudley glared at the ring very impatiently.

It's not like someone is whispering, but the ring is actually whispering in your ear.

"If you push harder, I'll get smashed."

Dudley stared at the ring with a serious look on his face.

However, the ring ignored Dudley at all, and the ever-inspiring voice still floated in his ears.

then

Dudley silently took out a locket from his pocket.

Putting it in his hand and squeezing it slightly, several cracks immediately appeared on the golden pendant box. Countless black smoke overflowed from the box again, and the box also let out a shrill scream.

I don't know if he really listened to Dudley's words or what, but this time, the mysterious whisper really disappeared.

Dudley nodded with satisfaction and put the pendant into his pocket.

"How did you get it?"

Dudley turned his attention to Dumbledore.

Without that bewitching voice, Dumbledore's condition was much better, at least he didn't look at the ring from time to time: "It's very strange. One day it appeared inexplicably on my path and I happened to find it. Got it."

"Hogwarts?"

"No, at the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing this, Dudley breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed.

"Senior Tom really spent a lot of money to deal with you."

It has to be said that Voldemort really discovered Dumbledore's weakness and offered him a bait that he absolutely could not refuse.

Resurrection Stone.

One of the legendary Three Holy Artifacts of Death, it is said to be able to ignore the rules of death and summon the souls of deceased relatives, allowing them to survive in an alternative form.

In fact, it can only summon a phantom that looks like a loved one, and the so-called soul is just a false illusion.

"This ring really cannot be placed here with you. All Horcruxes can be used but not this one."

"you do not believe me?"

Dumbledore asked.

Dudley replied very decisively: "Yes, I don't believe you can bear not to use it."

Dumbledore: "."

This was the first time he was rejected so decisively.

This was also the first time I heard someone say that Dumbledore didn't believe him.

"If I were Senior Tom, I would definitely do some tricks on this ring, that's for sure."

Dumbledore also knew that there must be something wrong with the ring, and Voldemort told you very clearly that he had tampered with the ring.

But can you, Dumbledore, resist wearing it? Can?

Even if the others knew, could they stop Dumbledore? Can?

This is a conspiracy

Many times conspiracy is more useful than any conspiracy.

At this time, there was the sound of the passage being opened outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door of the principal's office.

"Albus, are you looking for us?"

It was two professors, McGonagall and Snape, who came in from outside. They didn't show any surprise when they saw Dudley inside.

"No, not Professor Dumbledore, but me."

Dudley said.

Professors McGonagall and Snape are Dudley's most trusted professors in the entire Hogwarts besides Dumbledore. Although Professors Flitwick and Professor Sprout are also trustworthy, they are too talkative and know too much. More is not a good thing.

"Two professors, I need you to help me supervise Professor Dumbledore for a while."

"what happened?"

The two professors didn't know why.

"Professor Dumbledore has been targeted by the devil, and his only flaw has been discovered by the other party."

Now that Voldemort has discovered Dumbledore's weakness, he will never give up.

Dudley concealed the part about the Resurrection Stone and told the two professors the other contents truthfully. He also quietly touched the table and the ring with the Resurrection Stone disappeared.

Whether it is the Resurrection Stone or not, few people can bear not to use the Resurrection Stone. Whether it is Professor McGonagall or Professor Snape, they all have deceased friends who they miss very much.

The two professors did not see this small movement, but Dumbledore did, but he opened his lips slightly and still did not speak.

"Really? Dumbledore!"

Although they didn't know what Dumbledore's flaw was, the two men's expressions became obviously tense.

After a pause, Dumbledore finally nodded.

Dumbledore is the only being who can deal with the Dark Lord.

If his weakness is grasped by the opponent, the consequences will be disastrous.

"We will keep a close eye on him during this time."

The two professors said seriously.
