[HP] Lost and Returning

Chapter 59 The Swapped Locket

When a person makes up his mind to learn a certain skill, he will often get twice the result with half the effort. For example, Harry, when he no longer faces his professor with disgust, his talent will soon be revealed. He learns to protect With my own brain, I don't let others steal the information, and I don't let others put in false information. Everything is going well, and it's so smooth that Harry won't have nightmares at night.

Harry felt that he wanted to stay in the quiet cellar more often than the noise of the Gryffindor dormitory. When alone, Snape seldom deducted his points. The two of them didn't do Occlumency Practice, one is sorting out potion ingredients, the other is correcting homework. When Snape is in a good mood, he will ask him to help make some potion supplies in the medical room. Harry's potion ability has also improved by leaps and bounds. Of course, this cannot change him. Potions class was repeatedly deducted points.

When Harry's Occlumency was about the same, he wondered what reason to stay in the cellar. Before he could find a reasonable explanation for his mood, Dumbledore approached him, so Most of his free time was transferred to the principal's office.

"Severus said you've learned your Occlumency very well." Dumbledore began with a smile, and Snape said "make do with it", but Dumbledore was used to translating into better sentences.

Harry, who was kicked out of the cellar by someone, instantly felt better. He nodded and said to himself that he never expected Snape to praise him.

The white-bearded principal smiled meaningfully as if he had seen through something, and then said seriously, "Harry, I have something to tell you about Voldemort's Horcrux."

"Horcrux?" Harry's attention was drawn to this brand new word.

Dumbledore nodded. He understood that the young man in front of him had a mission that had to be fulfilled. It would be great if Harry had someone to accompany him, and Severus would undoubtedly be the best candidate.

In this way, Harry knew the biggest secret of the Dark Lord, the existence of Horcruxes, the dream of eternal life, the diary, the ring...

One Sunday, Harry accompanied the principal to a certain cave, which is said to have another Horcrux of the Dark Lord.When he entered the dark and damp cave, he couldn't help shivering; when he forced the other party to drink the potion according to the principal's instructions, his hands were trembling; He was in a hurry, and finally got out of the encirclement only by the already weak Dumbledore's spell and apparition.

On the dark road in Hogsmeade village, Harry supported Dumbledore. His chest was in a burning pain. He couldn't tell whether it was the injury just now or his heart was hurting. The old man on his shoulder staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

"We made it," Harry murmured, raising his voice: "Are you all right?"

"It doesn't seem very good." Dumbledore forced a smile, the corners of his mouth twitching, the potion had a great effect on him: "Go to the common fireplace, Harry, the fireplace in the headmaster's room is connected to the outside."

Harry tried his best to support him. He didn't understand the school's Floo network settings, so he could only follow suit now. After a while of dizziness, the two fell into the principal's office. Phantoms and a trip to the fireplace were too much for him.

Harry helped the principal to lie down on the sofa: "You wait, I'll go find Professor Snape."

Dumbledore nodded, he coughed twice, and when the young man left, he stretched out his gloved hand. He had less than a year to live, and such a toss, his old bones really couldn't bear it.

"Mr. Principal, you look terrible." A voice interrupted Dumbledore's thoughts, and he turned his head in surprise. When was there someone beside him—Gordy?Wilson.

If Slytherin College and the cellar are Salazar's domain, then Gryffindor College and the headmaster's office are Godric's domain. As he expected, he got a lot of information here, Horcrux?What a bold idea, and this descendant of Salazar really has the courage that no one can match.

"Professor Wilson..." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes. He didn't know this person well, but he said he didn't know the origin at all. How could this person come to the principal's office at this time?

"Don't move, I'm not here to murder the headmaster." Godric sighed, Albus?Dumbledore is currently recognized as the best graduate of Gryffindor College. Since he saw the other party's unlucky appearance, he helped him out, took out his wand, and cast a healing white witchcraft.

The golden magic halo shone on the old man's body, making it extremely warm.

Dumbledore's pale face regained its vitality, and he regained some strength: "You..." This is definitely a spell he has never seen before. In addition, it can relieve the trauma caused by the potion. This person, no Simple.

"Ah! You are—" Suddenly, the Sorting Hat placed on the tall cabinet burst into a loud voice, and the hoarse voice was full of surprise.

With a wave of Godric's wand, he stopped the Sorting Hat's words. He put his finger to his mouth and made a silent movement.This movement is not only for the Sorting Hat, but also behind the sofa, in a direction that Dumbledore cannot see. The ghost Nick who came here at some time is watching all this with wide-eyed eyes.

The first time Godric entered the principal's office, he noticed that the sorting hat looked very similar to his wizard hat, maybe it was the same one?This school gave him a sense of familiarity, and in turn, this school also knew him and was loyal to him.The snakes who obeyed Salazar's orders and faithfully reported information to their principal's office all confirmed this point.In fact, the magic attributes of myself and Salazar are easy to identify, extreme white and extreme black, the resident ghosts can find out that they are different from the wizards of this era.

Godric made a gesture, and Nick hesitated for a moment and went out through the wall.Godric then undoes the spell on the Sorting Hat.

"Hmph, if you don't say it, don't say it." The Sorting Hat curled its lips, muttered something, and then urged: "Hurry up and treat Albus!"

Godric blinked, was the hat commanding him?

Dumbledore propped himself up, he turned his head to watch this miraculous scene, did the Sorting Hat know Wilson?He had checked that Wilson was not a graduate of Hogwarts.

"It would be better for the principal to relax." Godric withdrew his gaze and continued to wave his wand, another white witchcraft.

boom--

The door of the principal's office was knocked open, and Harry rushed in, pulling Snape behind him, holding hands.

The thing happened like this, after Harry rushed to the cellar, he couldn't utter a complete sentence, he grabbed the black-haired professor's hand too eagerly and ran away, no matter what Snape tried to shake him off.Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor at night, otherwise, this would definitely be big news.

"What are you doing?" Snape saw the scene in the principal's room, and pulled Harry behind him with a strong sense of protection. He took out his wand with his other hand and pointed at the man who was casting a spell.

"It's okay, Severus." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Gordy is treating me."

The corner of Godric's mouth had the urge to twitch. As soon as he came to the school, he asked everyone to call him Professor Wilson, and the headmaster did the same. Why did the old man change his name without any warning?

Snape frowned.

The halo of magic finally disappeared, Dumbledore stood up and greeted: "Come in, don't block the door."

Harry poked his head out from behind someone, and was delighted to see that the headmaster looked almost the same as before he entered the cave. He wanted to go in, but realized that Snape was still in front of him, holding his hand tightly , he couldn't even break free, at this moment, Harry became aware of the warmth and relief from that hand.

Dumbledore saw it too, and with a wave of his wand, a routine honey meal appeared on the table, and then he turned his head and smiled at Snape: "Severus, it's time for you to let go of Harry, He'd love to come in."

Snape was stiff when he heard the sound, he quickly let go of his hand, as if getting rid of the most disgusting thing in the world, he strode forward, sat down, and did not look at the savior who followed behind him.

Godric looked at the interaction between the two, and he laughed. He obviously wanted to protect the boy just now, but now he pretended to be indifferent. The current dean of Slytherin is a bit like Salazar. look.Godric sat down at the table the most cheerfully, picked up the cup bluntly and took a sip of enjoyment. Later, he felt that it was not sweet enough, so he threw some sugar cubes in the box, shook it, and continued to drink.

Harry looked at it curiously, and thought to himself, this professor's sweet tooth is similar to that of Abraxas.

Snape turned his head away in disgust, slandering that this Wilson was probably Dumbledore's sugar friend.

Harry cast his eyes on the headmaster again: "Are you all right?"

"It's much better." Dumbledore glanced at the sorting hat seemingly unintentionally, and then turned his attention to everyone present: "Now let's talk about the Horcrux."

Snape was taken aback, he didn't know much about the Horcruxes of the Dark Lord, he only heard Dumbledore mention it occasionally, because Dumbledore destroyed a Horcrux ring, and he had to give treatment, although the effect bad.He told Dumbledore about Harry's Occlumency practice because he felt that as the prophesied boy, there were certain things he should have told Potter with certainty, but Snape glanced sideways at Wilson, and Dun Why did Bullido feel at ease talking about the Horcrux in front of this man who jumped out of nowhere.

Godric went on eating like the old man was talking about the weather.

Dumbledore smiled knowingly. This man really knew about the Horcrux, or rather, he knew what happened in the principal's office, so he came so quickly.Judging from the attitude of the Sorting Hat, this man is definitely not on the side of the Dark Lord. In the upcoming war, it is enough to know this.

Dumbledore took out the locket he got from the cave and put it on the table: "Slytherin's locket."

Godric looked up, the name was interesting.

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, Dumbledore opened the box, and a well-folded piece of parchment fell out.Harry opened the parchment and read it under Dumbledore's encouraging eyes: To the Dark Lord:

I stole the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.I am willing to die in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent.

R?A?B

Harry blinked desperately: "This..."

Snape's eyebrows were fighting, he snorted twice: "It seems that the headmaster made a mistake."

Dumbledore had a rare embarrassment on his face. The thing he got with great difficulty turned out to be a fake. He looked carefully at the locket, and it was indeed different from what he remembered. He patted his head and laughed at himself: "Unexpectedly, there are still people It’s very brave to be ahead of the curve.”

"Show me." Godric narrowed his eyes, took the parchment from Harry's hand, lifted it up, and looked at it carefully.

"Is there a problem?" Harry wondered.

"There is a hidden spell on it, which hides the information that I really want to express." Godric put down the parchment after completing the identification.

Hide information?This time, Dumbledore also took it to look at it. Wilson could see that there was something wrong with the parchment without using a spell. This person is really not an ordinary expert.

"It's a black witchcraft." Seeing Dumbledore's probing eyes looking at him, Godric explained: "If you untie it forcibly, the parchment will be destroyed. This kind of thing is originally for specific people to see."

Designated person?Dark Lord?

"Who is RAB?" Harry asked.

"This is something we have to check." Dumbledore answered and turned to Wilson: "What's Gordy's opinion?"

Godric bit his lip: "If Mr. Principal calls me Wilson from now on, I'll tell you." Not everyone can call his name.

Dumbledore was suddenly embarrassed, when the Sorting Hat laughed inappropriately.

Harry and Snape looked in the direction of the Sorting Hat at the same time, the hat didn't speak after laughing, lowering the brim of the hat as if dozing off.Snape was very relieved to see the embarrassed face of the old headmaster. He was often called "my boy" by Dumbledore, and he refused to change after repeated admonitions.

Dumbledore coughed twice: "Then please speak, Professor Wilson."

"He's either a pure-blooded dark wizard, or a powerful half-blooded dark wizard." Godric didn't make any secrets, saying the information he could get: "In other words, the possibility that he is a Death Eater is extremely high. "

A Death Eater brave enough to stand against the Dark Lord?Snape was silent.

"Good clues, narrowing the scope of the investigation." Dumbledore got up and said to Harry, "You should go back too, you have to go to class tomorrow."

ah?Harry stood up reluctantly, his eyes turned around several people, when he saw Snape, he felt that his cheeks seemed to be burning, damn it, what happened to him, nodded hurriedly, he pushed away from the headmaster's office and ran out .

"Severus, Harry likes you very much." Dumbledore's eyes glowed behind the glasses.After the accident, Harry immediately went to the Potions Professor for help.

"A difficult green-eyed monster." Snape said coldly. Even though he said that, he suddenly remembered the touch of his hand, wet and cold, but bearing blind trust.
