Chapter 340: New Intelligence

"What is Headmaster Dumbledore looking for me to do at night?" At eight o'clock in the evening, Ryan walked in the direction of the Headmaster's office in confusion. It was very strange to hear Harry's words in the afternoon, because Harry's nightmare had nothing to do with him, and it always felt wrong to be called the headmaster's office in such a situation.

"Cockroach pile. After reading the command, Ryan entered the principal's office without incident.

"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. Ryan greeted Headmaster Dumbledore, who was sitting behind the large golden desk.

"Good night, Ryan. Dumbledore greeted Ryan as he saw him enter, and then put some of his memories into the churning meditation basin. "It's Harry's memory of seeing me and my memory of going out on an errand in the afternoon, you can take a look. ”

Ryan nodded, then stuck his head into the meditation basin. The first memory was of Harry's recounting of his dreams in the afternoon, just a little more detail than when he recounted it to Ryan, and there wasn't much to focus on.

The important thing is the second memory, in which Dumbledore arrives in a large house full of chests. The house doesn't have any windows and is a bit like an underground warehouse.

It's just that what makes Ryan feel abnormal is that there are some things covered with white cloth on the ground, and there are some people in Auror uniforms walking around.

"Kingsley, what the hell is going on?" Dumbledore walked over to a black wizard.

"Terrible bad!" replied the wizard known as Kingsley. "Normally we don't come to Tumbledown Alley, but we're only going to send people here to patrol with the latest order. When Percy Weasley's patrol reached the Poison Spirit door this afternoon, he suddenly found that the door that should have been open was closed today, and even the back of the window was covered with a cloth. ”

Percy Weasley, who was leading the team, felt that something was wrong and knocked on the door, but no one answered inside. The matter was reported by the Ministry," said Kingsley, leaning over and whispering, "You told us to be aware of the anomalies in the potion circulation point, and after receiving the news, I brought my men to check on the Aurors, and I saw the current scene." ”

"How many people have been lost?" Dumbledore asked, looking at what was covered with a white cloth on the ground.

"One guy died at the front desk, the boss, the other guy and two guards all died in the warehouse. It's all fatal with one blow. Speaking of this, Kingsley showed a slightly terrifying expression: "A large snake crawling was also found at the scene, and the appraiser of this store was missing." Dumbledore, it can't be the one-"

"That's what you think, that's what I told you to face when I gathered you. Dumbledore said solemnly, "How much has the item been lost?"

"One-third of the potions are the most precious ones. This store is actually a drug distribution center in the underground market in the UK, so we haven't counted the specific data yet. ”

"Boss, we've made a discovery. "It's an Auror who suddenly called out to Kingsley. Following Dumbledore's footsteps, Ryan came to the end of the warehouse, where the stacks of chests were a little different, with no ash on the upper chests in the middle.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and the chest moved away, revealing a fireplace hidden behind it. An Auror swung around the fireplace with a strange silver instrument, and when it was removed, the previously clear crystal set in the middle of the instrument turned red.

"Found an illegal international Floo net fireplace. The Auror turned to Dumbledore and Kingsley. "Someone has used this fireplace before to go abroad. ”

"Hurry up and see where that man went?" Kingsley urged the Auror, but Dumbledore didn't hold out much hope and just stood there quietly. Sure enough, after a moment of gesturing with the instrument, the Auror said with a frustrated expression, "The other party completely messed up his magic traces, and can only confirm that he left England." ”

Seeing this, the memory ended, Ryan came out of the meditation basin, Dumbledore was sitting behind his desk tapping his index finger on the table, and when Ryan finished watching, he stopped tapping.

"Harry and Voldemort are in contact, what do you think this means? I want you to tell the truth, not Harry's comfort. Dumbledore asked.

"It's not just a nightmare. Ryan first defined, "The ability of one person to see what another person is doing is most likely the soul union between them." Blood alone doesn't have this effect, and based on what I've learned, I'm guessing it's likely that Harry accidentally captured some of that man's broken soul on the night his parents were killed. Or to put it simply, Harry was the Horcrux that the man had accidentally made. His Parseltongue is proof of that. ”

The two men in the office fell silent, and Dumbledore rubbed his temples and asked, "As I expected, I guessed that you might have seen a lot of things, but the only thing I didn't expect was that you had already analyzed this point." From your alchemy's performance when you signed up for the Triwizard Tournament, I can see that it is very different from the current popular alchemy, and your level is not low. So I'd like to ask you if there's a way to solve Harry's problem?"

"For the time beingβ€”there's nothing to do. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "If there is any hope for isolating the person's soul fragment from a dead object, such as the ring last time, this kind of soul fragment that has grown with Harry to this day is much more difficult than stripping it from a dead object. There were several ways I could destroy the fragment of that man's soul on Harry's body, but none of them could keep Harry safe. ”

"For the time being, you say?" Dumbledore extracted a key word from Ryan's barrage of answers.

"After all, this kind of operation requires a strong reserve of magic and knowledge, but I have only been in contact with magic for four years at most, and my accumulation is far from enough compared to most wizards. So I can only say that I can't do it, but it doesn't mean that I can't do it with the knowledge I have. Ryan began to recount a fact.

"That's right. Dumbledore smiled with relief. "Anyway, now that Voldemort has escaped from England, of course he will definitely come back, but it will take some time for him to solve his problems. We still have plenty of time to do something. ”

At this time, the portrait of Phineas suddenly appeared on the canvas, and then a voice rang out: "Dumbledore, Fudge refuses to disclose the details of this case in Alley, and wants to treat this case as a simple Dark Wizard fight. ”

"I can accept not mentioning the possible name of the criminal, but be sure to show that it was a dark wizard who did it. Let everyone be vigilant. Dumbledore said to the portrait on the wall.

"Okay, I'll do it again. But I guess Fudge wants to put the matter under his cover. Phineas shrugged his shoulders helplessly and disappeared again.

"We've always been like this, and we've had to meet our own people when we're facing the enemy. Dumbledore grumbled slightly, and quickly adjusted his mind. "Okay, I got it. If you have any new developments, you can come and let me know directly. My doors here are open to you at any time. ”

Hearing this, Ryan quickly got up and took his leave. As he was about to leave the house, Dumbledore suddenly asked, "You're not going to make Horcruxes, are you?"

"Of course, I have a better way on the road to eternal life. Why would you choose such a cumbersome method?" Ryan finally replied as he left the office.
