Chapter 085: The Grim Reaper's Mark on the Cloak of Invisibility
"It's just a relatively rare symbol, a triangle set around the outside of the circle, and a straight line that divides the circle and triangle in half......" Sirius said this, and couldn't help but think that in order to find out the whole picture of these patterns, the four robbers had a sore back for a long time, and many people misunderstood their relationship with each other, which led to a lot of gossip about the history of suffering.
"The mark of the Grim Reaper?" Catherine exclaimed, and Sirius couldn't help but ask a question.
"How do you know?" I think it took the four of them a long time to figure out what this symbol meant.
"Draco told me, there's one on the ground of Stonehenge, big enough to cover the entire formation." After Catherine finished speaking, Harry immediately clapped his hands and shouted.
"That's right! I've seen it too, so I said it looked so familiar! It turned out to be exactly the same as the Stonehenge Activation Magic Array, but the one on the invisibility cloak was much more beautiful than the other, unlike the one that was just a simple line. Harry was amazed, and continued to bend sideways to check the texture on the symbol.
"Speaking of which, I've been to Stonehenge too, but I was too young at the time, I think I was only three or four years old, so I don't have much impression at all." Lu Pin recalled as he put away the invisibility cloak, "If you want to know the full picture of this symbol, I'll draw it for you later." ”
"I want it too." Catherine hurriedly spoke.
"I don't have to redraw it, I remember keeping a copy in my study, just copy it. This Grim Reaper mark on the invisibility cloak is tedious to draw to death, and it can't be drawn wrong. When I first depicted it, I wanted to burn it several times. Sirius threw the Cloak of Invisibility back into Harry's hand. That look seemed to be burning with two fierce flames.
"I would have known that Stonehenge was there, so I wouldn't have had to go so far, but unfortunately I was 11 years old when I went to Stonehenge, but I was sleeping when I went, and I was dragged by my mother, and I didn't wake up until the ghosts came out, and I noticed something on the ground, and it seemed that Jaime was in a similar situation to me. They were all taken by their families early in the morning, and as for the insect tail, it seems that they haven't been there! Sirius said with a chin pinching and frowning.
"Alright, that's all for it, boys, go pack your things, there's not much left until 11 o'clock." When Lupin said this, Harry exclaimed, "I haven't cleaned it up yet," and ran back to his bedroom with the Cloak of Invisibility. Catherine, on the other hand, continued to look back and forth at the two elders.
"I'll look for it now." Sirius was embarrassed by his goddaughter, so he quickly turned around and ran to the study.
"Most of your stuff Dobi helped you pack up last night, and then go see if there is anything else you need to bring in your room." After Lupin pushed Catherine into her bedroom. He went to Harry's room to help him pack his luggage.
Catherine glanced at her bedroom and made sure that Dobby had packed everything she should have brought with her, but she didn't leave immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and searched for information on the Grim Reaper's mark. In the end, she really found two, all of which came from the patriarchal inheritance of the Potter family. That is, the part that Catherine unexpectedly received last year.
One is above the title of a fairy tale and one is behind a name with the title of the fairy tale The Legend of the Three Brothers and the name Ignotus. Peverell.
Seeing this name, Catherine knew that she had to accept the patriarchal inheritance of the Potter family no matter what, only in this way could she figure out what the relationship between Dumbledore, the Cloak of Invisibility and the Mark of Death was, and she had to go to Godric's Valley and visit Lady Bathilda Bassat to determine whether the person she was looking for was Grindelwald and what the relationship between him and the Headmaster was.
It's just that on both of these points, now is obviously not the best time to explore the truth.
When I accepted the family inheritance last year, because of the storage of two soul fragments, it took 12 hours, and now this piece is getting stronger and stronger, how can the time spent be less? Second, when he goes to Godric's Hollow, there is a high chance that his identity will be revealed, so for his own safety, he can only postpone it until his identity is revealed.
So, the most important thing now is-
"Catherine!" Lupin, who was going downstairs with Harry, shouted her name when he saw the red-haired girl walking out of his bedroom in contemplation, and motioned for the brunette to go down first.
Seeing this, Catherine couldn't help but take a few quick steps and came to Lupin, but he didn't say anything immediately, but looked at her meaningfully before he lowered his voice and spoke: "Dumbledore asked me to tell you that he wants you to go to him as soon as you return to school, and he wants to ask you something about the locket." ”
"Exactly!" Catherine couldn't help but smile slightly, "I also have something to consult with the principal." ”
"The old bee must have discovered the anomaly of the locket, so he became suspicious of you, maybe he has discovered that you are one of the main soul's horcruxes, and asked you to go over to ask you just to lower your vigilance, I can assure you, your esteemed professor must have played a part in it, if it is as I said, what are you going to do?"
As soon as Catherine stepped onto the train, Riddle became restless.
Recently, in order not to attract the attention of others, especially to avoid making Snape kill him, Riddle has been extremely well-behaved these days, and he hasn't even said a word to Catherine, but now as soon as he seized the opportunity, he immediately became bewitched, intending to separate the red-haired girl and Snape's relationship with Dumbledore, so as to achieve the goal of eventually replacing her.
"You must have learned Professor Snape's stubbornness 12 years ago." Catherine closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa in the carriage before slowly heading to her soul world, "As for Horcruxes, Professor Dumbledore and I still have the same goals at the moment, so you are completely unfounded now. But, then again, where the hell did you learn about Horcruxes? ”
"Orion." Riddle's tone was full of excitement, "When I was in school, there was a small talk about death, and Orion accidentally mentioned Horcruxes, but he didn't know how to make them, so I tested Slughorn, and as soon as the fat old man was complimented by me, he gushed all about it, but he didn't know the last step, so I had to look up the book myself, and finally found the spell that sealed the soul fragment before I graduated." Riddle's voice couldn't help but be smug as he said this, but he was struck by Catherine's next words.
"Mr. Orion, he should be the father of Sirius and Mister Regulus, right? No wonder Mr. Regulus was able to figure out what you were hiding in the cave in such a short time and drop it, but luckily he did, otherwise I wouldn't have known where to go to find the Slytherin locket, or find out about Voldemort's life, and keep you under control. Catherine said with emotion.
"As for Horace. Professor Slughorn, he seems to have been teaching Potions at Hogwarts from before you went to school until 1981, and served as Head of Slytherin, just Professor Snape, it was only because of your curse that I don't know whether it was true or not, the Headmaster never agreed, but now that not many people are willing to take over this class, I think the Headmaster will put the matter of rehiring on the agenda, and when the time comes, he will definitely take the opportunity to get the conclusive evidence that you made Zuò Horcruxes. ”
"Can't you just say a nice word?" Riddle's tone actually had a hint of pleading.
"Can't!" Catherine responded coldly, "You are a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed well, you don't teach often, you can't be obedient at all, and your heart has always been full of thoughts of fighting back, so in addition to suppression, it is still suppressed." ”
"You!" Riddle screamed, his body suddenly swelled up, his eyes were redder than blood, and he pounced fiercely on Catherine's soul, but the red-haired girl just flicked the middle finger of his right hand, and Riddle screamed and shrunk into a ball, he trembled violently, and coughed violently in his throat.
"What does the water of the River Styx taste like?" Catherine asked with a smile, "I've always felt that fishy sweet taste is the most time-honored delicacy in the world. ”
"Please!" Riddle pleaded hoarsely and humbly, looking at Catherine with painful eyes.
But the look on Catherine's face was neither forgiveness nor arrogance, but grim, incomparably coldly grim.
"It's useless to beg for mercy, Mr. Riddle!" Catherine's voice was stereotypically emotionless, "Some people would rather give up, some people will be cowardly, but you are neither, you are a politician, the best politician, and the best actor, so you will always show the most appropriate face on the most appropriate occasion." ”
"I—" Riddle tried to plead, but was horrified to find that he couldn't make any sound.
"Movies without sound should lose at least 50% of their appeal, and I'm looking forward to the day when you can make my heart soft." Catherine suddenly smiled shallowly, "Don't worry, I won't let your consciousness disappear from this world so soon, so enjoy the most delicious taste in this world." With that, Catherine's figure disappeared from Riddle's presence.
Riddle roared silently, and seeing that no one appreciated him, he simply gave up his means and sat cross-legged to endure the pain in his throat.
But Catherine suddenly reappeared, and with a flick of her fingers, she withdrew the Styx droplet, and then disappeared again.
"You're fooling me!" Riddle yelled angrily, intent on venting his anger completely, but when he realized that his anger was useless, he stopped to rest again. (To be continued......)
