Golden glitter

The dim stone cave is full of dark lake water, only in the center of the lake is an island in the center of the lake glowing with faint green light.Dumbledore groped along the edge of the lake, and a thick iron chain jumped out of the water with his movements. Dumbledore grabbed it and pulled hard.The calm lake surface was riddled with circles of ripples, and a small boat rose from the lake and slowly drove towards this side.There are no ferrymen, on the edge of this lifeless water, decorated with skeleton masts, and leaf-shaped boats, like the ferry of the Styx.

Under the watchful eyes of Dumbledore, Watergate also boarded the boat together. The shallow draft of the hull made the two minors suspect the danger of the shipwreck.Under the traction of the magic power, the boat rowed across the calm lake and headed straight to the small island in the middle of the lake.

Dumbledore stared ahead, as if not worried about whether there would be a threat to sneak up from the dark in this very uncomfortable cave.Harry was just the opposite of him. He was looking around nervously and excitedly all the way. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to fight against Voldemort.Mizumen sat on the edge of the boat, staring down at the water surface. He knew what was in this space as early as the last time he entered this space, but he still couldn't feel happy when he looked at it again.

The faint light is enough for the ninja's eyesight to penetrate the lake and see everything at the bottom of the lake.The bluish-white faces exuding lifeless energy looked up at the water, there were men and women, old and young, as if they were looking forward to someone's arrival.Algae-like hair and strands of clothing drenched the icy lake, and lifeless arms floated upward, as if beckoning something passing across the water to come down and accompany them.

Harry, who was looking around, inadvertently found the quiet water door. In his impression, this young man was usually very quiet, so quiet that he didn't have any sense of existence-in fact, he didn't see him often-but now he was obviously quiet. Too much.Following the eyes of the blond boy, Harry noticed something floating in the water. He pushed his glasses and narrowed his eyes. Harry stretched out his wand, and used the faint light source to get close to the surface of the water to make a careful distinction.It didn't matter, Harry was so frightened that he almost fell into the water, the ground at the bottom of the lake was not a reef at all, the bottom of this underground lake was covered with dead bodies!Not only human beings, he thought he had already seen the infernal corpse Malfoy mentioned before entering the cave, there was no decay and no skeleton, but this kind of corpse gave him a really scary feeling!

"Professor Dumbledore, this is?!" Harry turned his head to look at his old headmaster in horror. The old man was still staring straight ahead without squinting at the bright green cold light of the island getting closer.

"Don't touch those lakes, Harry." Dumbledore just reminded him lightly, and there was no more to say.

Harry wrinkled his nose, he was not used to such a cold Dumbledore, he couldn't like everything here.Shutting his mouth, Harry sat down beside the water gate and fell silent too.

"Bang", the silent journey ended with the soft sound of a boat docking, and a group of three people stepped on the ground of the small island in the middle of the lake one by one. There was no soil here, only cold reefs and solid crystals.The most conspicuous thing on the entire island was a stone basin full of potions. Dumbledore put his hands on it, but he couldn't touch the potion at all, and he was blocked from the outside.

"It can't be touched, it can't be poured, it can't be transformed or disappeared without a trace, it can only... be drunk by living creatures. Little Mr. Malfoy, how did you replace the Horcrux in it in the first place! Dumbledore stared at Minato with sharp eyes and asked.Harry still couldn't understand why the atmosphere had become so serious. In his opinion, the most terrifying potions were those that Snape said he was going to boil. He couldn't imagine just drinking a pot of potions. What a difficult defense.

"I didn't change it out," Minato said, "I told you, the real Horcrux was taken out 17 years ago." His voice was flat and terrible, and he felt uncomfortable when he was mentioned repeatedly, " If you don't believe me and still want this fake in the basin, I can also take it out for you."

"This pot of potion is called Hell Potion. It burns the body of the person who drinks it, and at the same time, it has a powerful hallucinogenic effect. It will make people see everything they regret most in their life, and they don't want to think about it, directly hurting the spirit and soul. The body and soul seem to be in hell, and... there is no antidote or palliative." Dumbledore explained coldly, who does the boy want to drink this pot of potion?And, "The burning sensation will make the person who drinks the potion extremely thirsty, painful, and the confusion of magic power and thinking cannot support the correct use of magic. The only water source is the water of the nearby lake, and in this lake, as long as it touches the water surface It will disturb the corpses in the lake, drag people down, and death will become their kind."

Dumbledore has said it so bluntly, if Harry still doesn't understand... then it's not a matter of IQ.Harry looked at the water gate in horror, who was the man who forced him to drink such a vicious potion?And who did Malfoy want to watch drink this drug?It seems that he is the weakest among the three people present. No, this is not the point now. With Dumbledore around, he will not let anything happen to him. The point is that since he knows that the Horcrux hidden in the potion is fake, why still To drink the potion at such a cost to get it out? !

Minato ignored the doubts or entanglements of the two people over there, he just took out a square white paper from his pocket, as well as the brush and ink he finally found in a place called 'Chinatown'.Taking out the brush and sucking up the thick black ink, Minato wrote down a summoning formula on the white paper, then stood up and went to the stone basin, and hung in the air not too high above the potion to write down a spell to pass through. surgery.Pick up the white paper on which the ink has dried, and gently spread it on the potion basin.

Harry was amazed to see the paper sink through the invisible but impenetrable protective barrier, as if the paper had absorbed moisture and then sank.Through the translucent potion, Harry could clearly see that the patterned paper not only passed through the potion, but also sank under the invisible locket at the bottom of the basin!Although Harry's primary school nature class was not very good, at least he understood that seeing this phenomenon is absolutely unscientific... Although there is no science in this cave from boats to potion basins.But these should be very common in the wizarding world. Seeing that Professor Dumbledore didn't say anything, Harry turned to look at Dumbledore's little face covered by eyebrows, glasses, beard, hair and hat... probably.

"Stretch out your hand." Seeing that the spell had sunk under the locket, Minato suddenly said to Harry.

Harry was taken aback by the sudden call, and reflexively stretched both of his hands in front of the water gate, bringing them together, palms up. "Spiritualism!" Minato clapped his hand on Harry's palm. Harry was startled, and was about to withdraw his hand. Suddenly, his palm felt cold, and a small, heavy object fell into his hand.

Harry opened and retracted his palm and put it in front of his eyes. Somehow, an exquisite golden locket fell into his palm, which seemed to be the same as the one under the stone basin!Harry turned his head in surprise and immediately lay down on the stone basin to look. The defense preventing him from touching the potion was still there, but the pendant inside was really, gone!

Minato ignored the surprised or stunned two, turned around and walked towards the shore where the boat was docked. He didn't reach out to take out the Horcrux from the stone basin, so that even if Voldemort saw it, he wouldn't think of it too much. more.Moreover, he was still studying at Hogwarts, and the Dark Lord's attack could not reach so deep, not to mention that the White Wizard would not agree first.

Seeing that Minato had turned around and was about to leave, Dumbledore also asked Harry, who was still in a daze, to follow. They also needed to get on the poor little iron boat to leave.Dumbledore calculated that since he could destroy one of Voldemort's horcruxes without paying a price, then he would be considered a big draw.As for Minato Malfoy, Tom must have known what was going on here, and he could use other means to fuel the flames, deepening Tom's determination to get rid of this boy.

"To the Dark Lord:

I'll be dead long before you read this, but I want you to know that I discovered your secret.I stole the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.

I risk my life in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent.

R·A·B"

Several days had passed since the trip to the seaside cave that day, and the fake locket was finally left in Harry's hands, and he had read the last words in it many times.He thought that R.A.B should be a Slytherin, which was analyzed by Hermione, and Hermione was the smartest girl he had ever met, although sometimes... ahem.

On the second day after the meeting, Harry described everything that happened the night before to Hermione. This girl who had been taking care of him like a sister made him unconsciously rely on him. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. A mature And people who really care about him, he likes this feeling very much.He showed Hermione the fake locket, which had been left by the man who had first discovered Voldemort's secret, so brave, Harry thought, that he even replaced it quietly, under Voldemort's eyelid. under.

Hermione came to this conclusion after seeing the exquisitely crafted and valuable gold locket and the parchment with gorgeous and elegant fonts but decisive content inside.She also said: "Malfoy should know who R·A·B is, and he was the first to find out that R·A·B had replaced the Horcrux...Maybe not only him, maybe other members of the Malfoy family also know that R·A·B A·B does everything. So it’s a question of whether their family is still a Death Eater, or this is just some people’s route, don’t put all eggs in the same basket. And someone in their family should know this R A.B should be the one with a good relationship, so in the scope of Slytherin friends at that time, R.A.B is undoubtedly a Slytherin."

Maybe they should get to know Slytherin again, Harry thought.He thought he could go back to ask Sirius when he was on vacation. According to the time, R.A.B probably attended Hogwarts with Sirius. A Slytherin with such a personality, even if he was a few years older than Sirius, He should also have an impression.

In the days after returning from the cave, Dumbledore went to talk to Harry several times, but Harry never saw the blond boy in the principal's office again, so he didn't have a chance to ask questions.Maybe he was really angry, Harry thought, because both the headmaster and he suspected him, and although he didn't feel it himself, he was still the savior in the eyes of others!Professor Dumbledore also questioned him, being pressed by his headmaster, the greatest white wizard, Harry felt that he would not be able to bear it if it was him.They also mentioned his sad things, went to his sad place, and asked him over and over again, it is not surprising that they would be angry.

The subsequent lectures no longer revolved around Voldemort's past, and Dumbledore began to talk to him about what kind of character Slytherin is.Harry felt that these lessons were extremely timely, and he was worried that he could not understand the complex minds and tortuous ways of communication of snakes.He needs to learn this quickly, apologize to little Malfoy, and then ask him, maybe, they still have a chance to be friends!

However, when Professor Dumbledore told him about the Malfoy family, his head suddenly hurt, and he only had a thump, but he didn't remember a lot of what the professor said next, he only remembered vaguely Bottom line: Malfoy values ​​his family above all else.He didn't have time to apologize, another accident happened to the Malfoy family, this time it was Lucius Malfoy, but the notice in the newspaper mentioned Minato's name!
