[HP] Illusion

After those people left that day, Harry didn't dare to do anything. In fact, his thinking was very simple. No matter what others said or any legends, since the trajectory of the world would not change, things would still happen.

By that logic, at the end of his fifth year, Dumbledore would still find the Resurrection Stone in this place, so he wasn't really particularly worried about the ring being transferred.Compared to this, what he is more worried about is that if he transfers the ring in advance, what kind of changes will happen to this world is beyond his expectation, and if he is not sure of completely destroying all the Horcruxes one by one Before, he didn't dare to fight like this.

Maybe he should be ready with both hands?

Harry rested for two days after returning home, and the potion materials at home were not enough. He planned to go to Diagon Alley for bulk purchases on this day.

Before going out, Harry habitually changed his appearance. Except for the color of his pupils, the other parts no longer had the original feeling. The young man looked in the mirror for a while, and finally nodded in satisfaction.

The weather was still very good that day, most of the white snow on the ground had melted, and many shops piled up the remaining snow, so Diagon Alley was full of cute little snow mountains one after another.

Probably not because of weekends or holidays. There weren’t too many people in Diagon Alley, but compared to his last visit, there were obviously a lot more people. In fact, most of the people on the road seemed to be saying the same thing. thing-

The place Little Hangleton seems to be very popular recently. It is said that there is a treasure left by Slytherin in that place, because the Gunter family, the only descendant of Slytherin, once lived there, and the Gunter family inherited the Slytherin family. Treasure, now that the Gaunt family has no descendants, it is conceivable that Slytherin's treasure has also become unowned.

It was such a small rumor that started to ripple in Diagon Alley, and the strange thing is, even though Harry pretended to be familiar with it, others still told him about it with a very natural expression. ——There is no sense of mystery that spreads secrets at all.

What the other party said was hypnotic. I have to say that if you just listen to it as a story, Ha Huanli really listens with gusto.

"Don't tell me, I'm the fucking victim that day—"

Harry heard a familiar rough voice. He turned his head and almost dropped his jaw in surprise—it was a short, sturdy middle-aged man, but he was a bit too short, probably shorter than Sneaky Jr. Pu was half a head shorter. He was full of beards, and his curly hair was connected with the beard. This kind of rough-looking head matched his voice very well.He hid in the house that day and couldn't see anyone at all. Now that he saw it, he was really shocked by the contrast.

This person even started to yell about what happened to him that day, and even exaggeratedly introduced the disgusting level of Gaunt's old house. Harry complained silently in his heart, the mane curls didn't go in at all, it was just outside the house. Well, if this person is like this, probably after the mane rolls open the door, he will faint directly at the door.

"When I came back that day, I lost all feeling in this hand," the curly mane shook his arm, with a panicked expression on his face, "That place is really scary, don't listen to it If you slander, you will run to take risks and hunt for treasure."

Another familiar voice also came out—it was obviously the girl's voice that day, but Harry turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman with unrecognizable facial features standing there. Harry couldn't remember the appearance after a glance , probably the only recognizable thing about her is that sweet girlish voice: "St. Mungo's therapist clearly said that you were cursed by someone else's prank. It's too shameful. If we found out earlier, we wouldn't have to Let’s go, maybe we’re all rich now.”

……

Hearing this, Harry was no longer interested in listening.

The young man quietly left the crowd, and continued to walk towards the potion shop along the cobblestone road.When he came to a certain corner, Harry stopped subconsciously, and several young people about his age were standing there. Before he could do anything, he was pulled over by one of the bald young men: "Hey, hey, hey. , have you heard about that incident, are you interested in going on an adventure together?"

Harry didn't really understand their logic, so these people thought it would be better to form a team to clear the copy of the Slytherin treasure than to die alone?

To be honest, without Ron and Hermione, most of the time, he would rather not have teammates, and being alone is more suitable for him now.

But at this moment, Harry suddenly had an idea in his mind——

The green-eyed youth asked with great interest, "Are you going?"

"Of course." Pulling Harry's bald head and puffing out his chest, "do you want to go? If we find it, we will share it with you."

"You all look for someone like this..." Harry said with a slightly hesitant expression.

"Of course not," the man immediately understood Harry's meaning, "We didn't just drag people there, the three of us are good friends, and this is Pooh, we just met, but his Transfiguration is particularly powerful, oh yes, what are you good at?"

Harry hesitated for a moment, but didn't answer right away.

One of the four suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't it a squib?"

"Actually, I'm a Muggle." Harry said without changing his expression.

The four people who were instantly frozen into icy slag by Harry's joke: "..."

"I'm good at Defense Against the Dark Arts," Harry said half of the truth. In fact, he was very, very good at Defense Against the Dark Arts. "When are you going? If I have time, can you pick me up?" ?”

"Are you really not a Muggle and a Squib?" The bald head asked a little worried.

Harry casually floated the mistletoe that was placed on the door of the store not far away as a decoration, and put it directly on the bald head.

"Oh, this is wandless magic? You can control it very well!" The bald man stared at the mistletoe on his head with wide eyes, and didn't mind much, "Hello, I'm Ben, what is your name? "

"My name is Edward." Harry whispered, this is the name of his godson. After he resigned, he went to see him once, but they didn't meet too much. "You haven't answered me yet, time."

"We have an appointment in three days, can you come, Edward?"

"Okay." The time seemed to be fixed like this. "I've been living at the Leaky Cauldron for the past few days. If you want to find me, you can go there." The young man said.

Harry suspected that they decided to wait and see the follow-up development after three days, because in the next few days, he could basically see the bald man strolling in Diagon Alley with his two good friends, as for the other Pooh, who is said to be good at transfiguration, did not appear.During this period, the bald Ben came to look for Harry a few times. After the young man fully demonstrated his strength (a part), the bald Ben finally let go of his heart.

In the next few days, the craze boiled over in Diagon Alley, but more people returned empty-handed. The people who went there were simply secretive about the place. Most of them looked like "you will know when you go", just The night before they were going to go, a shocking news came——

St. Mungo received a seriously injured patient from Little Hangleton. His body was full of traces of being attacked by black magic. Because he was unconscious all the time, no one knew what he had experienced.

Many adventurers also said that they saw the notorious Dark Mark representing Death Eaters in the sky above Little Hangleton.

When Harry was wandering in Diagon Alley that day, he happened to see Bald Ben. He looked anxious, as if he was trying to persuade his two friends.

Harry heard one of the guys, John, say, "That's it. So are we really going? Another friend of mine who went there today said he saw the Dark Mark with his own eyes, which..."

This time, the bald man saw Harry with sharp eyes, and immediately greeted him: "Edward, you are here, have you heard about the Dark Mark? We are discussing whether to go tomorrow or not."

Harry shrugged, and said with a rather indifferent expression: "If you are worried, then don't go."

"Do you want to go, then?" Despite Harry's words, Bald Ben felt that if everyone agreed to go, it seemed a little bad to get cold feet.

"I can do it. It is said that there are three small houses there, and the appearance is not very good..." More people did not disclose, "But, are there really Death Eaters?"

John nodded exaggeratedly, "My friend saw it with his own eyes, as well as the seriously injured patient in St. Mungo's. Everyone knows about it. By the way, I still have eyeliner at the Ministry of Magic. It is said that the Ministry of Magic is investigating this matter now. Urgent investigation."

Harry blinked, and his voice became more and more mysterious: "So this means that if we don't go tomorrow, we probably won't have a chance?"

John obviously froze for a moment, obviously he couldn't keep up with Harry's train of thought, but the bald Ben understood, and he patted Harry's shoulder vigorously: "Yes, that's it! Edward, you are so smart."

Harry, whose skeleton was almost blown apart: "..."

"Pooh just sent a letter asking if we would go. If not, he would have to find another person who dared to go. Think about it, it is a treasure left by Slytherin. If it really exists, it is from 1000 years ago. Antique, how much is it worth?!" I have to say that Bald Ben seems to be bluffing, but he must be the smartest of the three, and he knows how to persuade others.

Harry wanted to touch the hourglass and keys on his chest. Speaking of antiques, he had more than one.

"Let's go and have a look, and if it doesn't work, we'll withdraw." Harry also chimed in.

Bald Ben gave him a high-five excitedly, "I think so too. Don't worry, I'm here, and I will protect you." He said to John and Martin.

It was six o'clock early in the morning when we assembled the next day. Harry originally thought about staying awake and drinking a refreshing potion, but in the end he couldn't hold on.After setting a loud alarm clock, the young man added a soundproof spell to the house, so that the alarm clock could wake him up and not wake up other guests in the store.

After gathering at six o'clock in the morning, the five of them had a little breakfast at the Leaky Cauldron, and then set off for Little Hangleton.

After going out, John started sweating nervously. Pooh didn't look nervous at all. Harry tried to appear more nervous, but failed.Bald Ben has been comforting John, and finally even Martin, who is traveling with him, has joined the ranks of persuasion.

It was the "first time" for the five of them to come to Little Hangleton. The place where they landed was indeed a little far from the Gaunt's old house. Bald Ben explained to several people that if they saw the Dark Mark and escaped, they could escape in time. Some.

"I bought the route from a friend who came early and lost his left hand when he touched the door the other day and mistook a mischievous curse for black magic. The laughing stock of him, he didn't make any money, so he started urging everyone to come and visit."

Harry: "..."

Because that place is so disgusting, I encourage everyone to feel it together when I am disgusted. This mane curl must be well-intentioned.Harry planned to secretly gamble his sense of smell before going, but it was a pity that he couldn't add protective bubble film.

"Could it be that the Dark Mark has dissipated?" Pooh said very little on the road, and this sentence was one of his few long sentences.

"I haven't seen it, but people who have seen it say that you can see it from a distance." Bald Ben looked at Harry who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Edward, have you seen it?"

Harry shook his head, and explained casually: "I have been working elsewhere before, and I haven't been back to England for a long time."

"I've seen it before," Martin seemed to recall something, he shuddered, "it looked like a distorted skeleton, it was very scary, but luckily I hid at that time, otherwise I wouldn't know what would happen if I was caught by them." How, or am I going to be like the badly injured man at St. Mungo's?"

Probably even scarier.thought Harry.They are polite enough not to torture you to death. If you fall into the hands of some perverts, then life would be worse than death.

But Harry didn't say anything, even if they did meet the Death Eaters.With his current ability, even though his physical functions have faded a lot, he still has the Elder Wand in his hand, so he is confident that he can still protect these people.

"Stop talking, let's go quickly," Bald Ben said hastily, "This place is less than a mile away from that place. If we wanted to see the Dark Mark, we would have already seen it."

What he said was true.This should be the only insider here. Harry gave Bald Ben a thumbs up in his heart.

For some reason, he always felt that Pooh's behavior seemed a little strange. He didn't look flustered at all, but he wasn't looking forward to it either.

The five of them walked very carefully along the way. In fact, the path was still very hidden. There were indeed many trees on the hillside. Above their heads was a huge green canopy that was almost airtight. Only a small amount of sunlight could cast it. There are intermittent bamboo fences to prevent people from falling down the hillside. Walk along this road until the end is the backside of the hill where Gunter’s old house is located.

But it has to be said that Harry did have a certain kind of "beep-" luck, because when they were walking down a hidden path on a hillside, Harry suddenly felt someone behind them coming towards him. They cast a jinx.Harry dodged quickly, grabbed John and jumped aside, narrowly avoiding the attack this time.

"Merlin—" With an exclamation, before the others had time to say anything, they fell into the encirclement of seven or eight Death Eaters.

Fortunately, there are five of them, so they won't lose too much. Among them, Pooh and the bald head are the main combat power, followed by Martin. As for John, he is a bit behind, but after being protected by Harry, he dares to move towards The Death Eaters fought back.
