Professor Dumbledore asked Harry to come to the clock tower at night, but when he really came to the clock tower, Harry found that there was another person wearing a cloak.

Harry looked up and down, and found that there seemed to be some spell covering the other's face, and he obviously didn't lower his head, but Harry couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly, even his voice seemed erratic, and he couldn't make out whether he was a man or a woman. .

"You are Harry Potter?"

Harry glanced at Professor Dumbledore, but the professor didn't say anything, and didn't seem to care about this person's problem.

"Yes, sir?"

"Call me ma'am. If Dumbledore wasn't here, I would definitely teach you a lesson. You are an idiot who dared to use the spell without knowing how it works. Oh, how stupid!"

The lady's tone was very disdainful, even a little angry. Harry was puzzled and aggrieved, not knowing how he had offended the lady.

Professor Dumbledore coughed a few times: "Sorry, this was also my mistake."

"Oh, if it doesn't look like... Forget it, let's go quickly."

The lady in black robe didn't say anything more.

Harry put his hand on Dumbledore's arm, and Mrs. Black Cannon did the same. With a familiar dizziness, the three appeared on a beach.

On the other side of the beach is a high cliff, only near the end of the beach, a huge crack appeared in the middle of the cliff, the three of them entered through the crack, and found that the end of the crack was a dead end, Mrs. Black Robe Stretching out the wand, Harry saw such a strange wand for the first time. Her wand was like a branch. Vine-like pattern.

"This place is hidden by a spell." The lady didn't say a spell at all, but just waved her wand a few times, and a ripple-like scene appeared on the stone at the end of the crack.

"Stand back." The black-robed lady said.

Dumbledore took Harry back a few steps.

"Interesting, he didn't completely prevent others from entering." Harry watched the lady try again and again with many spells.

"So that's how it is." Mrs. Black Cannon said.

Harry saw the lady waving her wand and making complicated gestures, ripples rippled out on the surface of the stone, and every wave of ripples brought the breaking of the stone, and soon the end of the road A whole new hole appeared.

"Let's go." Mrs. Black Cannon's voice was very calm. For some reason, Harry felt inexplicably at ease. Although he didn't know who this lady was, for Professor Dumbledore's sake, she must Is a powerful wizard.

Several people walked into the cave, and soon found the wooden boat tied by iron chains and the island-like platform in the middle of the lake.

The three of them boarded the boat and came to the stone platform. In the center of the stone platform was a protruding stone pillar, which was as tall as a washbasin in a bathroom. The top of the stone pillar was indeed a stone basin similar to a meditation basin. Filled with an emerald green liquid that glistens in this dark cavern.

"What's this?" Harry asked quietly.

"I'm not sure. But it's definitely not a good thing. At least it's not more terrifying than those ghosts at the bottom of the water." Madam Black Cannon said casually.

Dumbledore looked at the dark lake around him: "Tell me, how many ghosts are there in this lake."

Mrs. Heipao sneered: "There will never be more people who died than ten years ago."

Harry didn't understand what the two of them said, so he had to keep his mouth shut silently.

Mrs. Heipao stretched out her hand and stroked the edge of the stone basin, as if she was feeling something.

"Very good, it is indeed a very good protective magic, very clever." Mrs. Heipao muttered to herself.

Harry looked at the liquid: "Ma'am, is there something protected under here...?"

Harry originally wanted to tell the Horcrux, but he was afraid that it was a secret, and Professor Dumbledore didn't want to tell more people.

"What else but one of You-Know-Who's Horcruxes?"

Mrs. Black Cannon's tone was as if Harry was an idiot. Everyone else had already put the answer under his nose, and he still asked stupidly what the answer was.

"...Sorry ma'am..." Harry didn't dare to ask further questions.

The same as before, Madam Black Cannon used her wand to try again and again on the edge of the basin, while Professor Dumbledore waited quietly.

"No, Dumbledore, I can only drink these things." Mrs. Black Cannon said irritably.

Dumbledore sighed: "I guessed some too."

Harry looked at the two in disbelief: "No, no, what if these things are poisonous, what if there is nothing in them?"

Dumbledore patted Harry's shoulder reassuringly, and pretended to smile relaxedly: "I believe it won't have such an effect. Voldemort would never be willing to poison anyone who came to this island."

As it turned out, Dumbledore was right, and Dumbledore made Harry swear to drink all the liquid no matter what.

"Dumbledore, I can drink this stuff, you shouldn't"

Mrs. Black Cannon spoke.

Dumbledore shook his head: "No, I'm the oldest person here, I've lived long enough, and I'm worth less than all of you, Bella, you promised me you wouldn't block my decision."

Mrs. Black Cannon took a deep breath, then quietly stayed aside and did not speak anymore, just silently holding her wand in a protective gesture.

"Harry, promise me that no matter how much I beg you or how much I refuse, you must promise to let me drink it."

Dumbledore looked at Harry.

"Please, Professor, let me come..."

"No, Harry, you swore you would listen to me. Can you do it now?"

"professor……"

"Swear, Harry!"

"I... well, professor, I swear..." Harry's eyes were already red, but he still had to obey Dumbledore's request.

There was a shell next to the stone basin. Dumbledore picked up the shell and began to scoop out the liquid to drink. At first Dumbledore could drink the liquid by himself, but after drinking the third cup, his hands trembled. Couldn't even pick up the shells.

"Professor?" Harry looked at Professor Dumbledore in horror.

"Potter, it's time for you to fulfill your oath." Mrs. Black Cannon said.

Looking at Professor Dumbledore's painful look, Harry was very sad, but he still had to pick up the shell and forcefully stuff it into Professor Dumbledore's mouth, watching the liquid from Professor Dumbledore, and then more and more The more painful it was, Harry hated himself from the bottom of his heart, disgusted with what he had done.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I'm sorry."

Harry apologized as he poured the liquid down Professor Dumbledore.After there was no more green liquid in the basin, Harry finally saw the locket at the bottom of the basin. Mrs. Black Cannon reached out to take the locket away, and Harry went to help Professor Dumbledore up.

"Water...water..." Dumbledore's voice was hoarse.

Harry grabbed the shell and used clear water like a spring on it, but every time he saw that the shell was full of clear water, it disappeared in the next second.

"Clear water is like a spring!" Mrs. Black Cannon simply pushed Harry away, and supported Dumbledore by herself. She didn't expect the shell to be of any use, and directly poured a stream of clear water into Dumbledore's wide-open mouth.

Dumbledore was slapped in the face by the cold spring water, woke up after a jolt, subconsciously wiped his face with his hands, and licked the water around his mouth with his tongue.

"Well, thank you, Bella"

Professor Dumbledore's beard and clothes on his chest were wet in a large area.

Harry was relieved to see Professor Dumbledore sober.

"The locket is fake." Mrs. Black Cannon threw the box to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was a little surprised. He opened the box and found the note inside. He drank the liquid and naturally knew how painful it was. Before that, an unsung hero had already taken it all.

"Go back to school first."

Dumbledore sighed, took away the note in the locket, and put the locket back into the stone basin again, and the liquid in the stone basin filled up again in an instant.

The three of them sank and returned to the entrance of the cave. Mrs. Black Cannon waved her magic wand to restore everything.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to school, tonight... still busy."

Professor Dumbledore sighed and led the three of them back to the Hogwarts bell tower.

The cold wind howled above the bell tower, and Harry supported Professor Dumbledore to rest on the side.

Mrs. Black Cannon took a flagon from her pocket

"Dumbledore, are you sure you want to do this?"

Dumbledore panted and slightly pushed Harry's hand away: "Thank you, Bella."

Mrs. Heipao dropped the flagon and turned to leave from the bell tower.

Harry watched Professor Dumbledore take a sip, it was a smell Harry had never smelled before, it was very light, and when the cold wind blew, everything was gone.

"Harry, go ahead Severus call. Quietly, don't let anyone know."

While talking, Dumbledore suddenly heard noisy footsteps.

"Go, hide, don't let anyone find out."

Dumbledore pushed Harry the other way.

Harry hid in the downstairs compartment, looking up through the crack in the floorboards.

Draco stepped out of the shadow of the stairs.

"Good evening, Draco, it's such a beautiful night, what are you doing here?"

Draco pointed his wand straight at Dumbledore, his eyes still looking around.

"Who are you talking to, I can hear your voice!"

Dumbledore's expression didn't change much: "I often talk to myself alone, which helps me organize my thoughts."

Draco walked up to Dumbledore slowly, the wand in his hand trembling slightly.

"You won't kill, Draco, I know." Professor Dumbledore looked into Draco's eyes.

"How do you know I can't, I can do a lot more than you think!"

Draco looked at Dumbledore with a slight stammer.

"Of course, I know what you've done, such as cursing Katie Bell to give me a necklace, or swapping Slughorn's mead for poisoned wine so you can poison me? Excuse me To be blunt, Draco, I'm afraid these are nothing."

Professor Dumbledore looked at Draco's eyes deeply hurt Draco's heart.

"You don't know anything, he picked me! I can do more." Draco rolled up his sleeves, revealing the Dark Mark.

Dumbledore's expression changed, and there was even a trace of regret in the eyes of Draco

"Does Anna know?" Dumbledore asked.

Draco pulled down his sleeve and blocked his arm: "No, she doesn't need to know. When the Dark Lord succeeds, I will naturally protect her. I will win the trust of the Dark Lord and become the most powerful person, no matter what Whether she was ever part of the Order of the Phoenix or any group, I will protect her."
