William sat down in his chair and looked at the glowing meditation basin, contemplating the memories he had just had.

When he thinks of those things during the summer vacation, he always feels that something is wrong.

But there was still a key clue missing, which prevented him from analyzing what was wrong.

This clue is similar to the firebolt and invisibility cloak that Sirius gave anonymously last Christmas.

A few gifts were nothing, but William and Hermione grasped the detail and fully deduced that "Spotted is Pettigrew" and "Big Black is Black...... Two truths.

She shouldn't have been called back to the dorm tonight, she was left in the Room of Need, and the two of them could check each other's gaps.

She is best at finding anomalies in the intricate details.

Dumbledore sat down in his chair and beckoned Harry, who was a little reserved, to sit as well.

Harry sat down, his eyes fixed on the meditation basin. The contents of the basin turned into a silvery-white state, swirling and rippling.

"It's called a meditation basin." Dumbledore explained.

"Suck the excess thoughts out of your head, pour them into this basin, and take a good look at them when you have time.

In this state, it is easier to see their form and the connection between them. ”

"You mean...... Is this thing your mind? Harry said, glaring at the swirling silver substance in the basin.

"Exactly," said Dumbledore, "I'll show you." ”

Dumbledore pulled his wand from his robe and slipped the tip of it into his silver hair.

When he pulled out his wand, there seemed to be some silver substance stuck to the tip of the wand.

Dumbledore put his memories into the meditation basin and stirred them gently, like a gold digger turning a sand table.

The silver substance gradually turned into William's face. He opened his mouth and spoke towards the ceiling, with a slight echo.

"Professor Dumbledore, Hermione and I ran into Voldemort and Wormtail in the Albanian forest.

He was no longer a shadow, he had a form, he had taken Bertha, and tortured her.

We fought once, and I killed the form...... He's back into the shadows......"

Harry listened dementedly to the words in the meditation basin.

Did William fight Voldemort again?

"Harry." Dumbledore said slowly, "William said your scar hurts again?" ”

William also woke up from his musings and turned his head to stare at Harry's scar.

"Yes," Harry swallowed, "Professor- I'm in the common room, but I- I'm looking......"

He hesitated, as if pondering what to say...... Talent doesn't sound like crazy talk.

Dumbledore said, "Understandable, go on." ”

"Well, I seem to have had a dream," said Harry, "of Voldemort. ”

"Which Voldemort?" William interjected.

Dumbledore's eyes narrowed, his expression inquiring, also curious about the question.

"Tom, sixteen-year-old Tom, the one from the diary." Harry affirmed.

"Of course!" Dumbledore nodded. "And then?"

"He's drinking...... A green potion that looks painful. When he drank, he was still cursing Voldemort and me...... And William. ”

William raised an eyebrow, he thought Tom was a serious man.

I didn't expect to learn the bad mouth of the Zuan people in private.

"And then?" Dumbledore continued.

Then he drank his medicine and crawled towards a lake...... In the end, a lot of corpses, dragged him in. ”

"My scar hurt so badly that it made me faint."

"Well, that's all." Harry said.

Dumbledore looked at him and said calmly, "Aside from this and the summer vacation, have your scars hurt this year?" ”

"No, I—how do you know it woke me up during the summer?" Harry asked, surprised.

"You're not the only one writing to Sirius," Dumbledore said, "and I've kept in touch with him since he left Hogwarts."

Dumbledore stood up, pacing back and forth behind the table.

From time to time, he pressed the tip of his wand to his temple, pulled out a silver glittering memory, and added it to the meditation basin.

The thoughts in the basin spun rapidly, and nothing could be seen clearly, only a vague silver-white.

William was also thinking, and he asked again, "What does that hole look like?" ”

"It's big, it's dark...... There was water all around. ”

"Where's the outside of the water?"

"Rocks, big rocks."

Dumbledore stopped pacing, looked at Harry, and muttered, "Rock...... Cliff! William, it looks like we're going in the wrong direction. ”

William nodded. "yes, we always thought we were in the sea."

"What?" Harry asked, confused.

Neither of them answered him, though.

Professor Barblin found Tom's body, and cast a spell in his body that only vampires could perceive.

Finally, it was determined that Tom was operating in a sea area. And near that sea, there is an orphanage where he lived when he was a child.

The two had always thought that another Horcrux was hidden in the sea. Dumbledore went into the water and searched several times without finding it.

But Harry's dream ...... Grotto...... Most likely by the sea.

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, Harry asked cautiously, "Headmaster, what do you think...... That dream...... Is it true? ”

He really didn't want to hear Dumbledore say "really", which meant that he had some special connection with Voldemort.

The thought of him being connected to Voldemort makes him feel sick.

Dumbledore stared at Harry and whispered, "Possibly, very likely. Harry - did you see Tom? ”

"No," said Harry, "I saw only the potion, and the lake...... But—I couldn't have seen it.

He doesn't have a body, does he? But...... So how could he possibly take the goblet? ”

"yes," Dumbledore muttered, "how could it be......

William knew that Dumbledore's question was not the same as Harry's.

Of course, Tom can take the goblet, after all, he is attached to someone else.

Dumbledore's doubts were...... Why can't Harry see Tom?

To put it more bluntly: in what way did he dream of Tom?

Is it standing next to Tom, or is it looking down on the scene from above?

Harry's answer was: he couldn't see Tom.

This just shows that...... Harry is looking at it from Tom's point of view!

Or rather, at that moment, Harry and Tom's minds remained connected.

"Professor? You- do you know why my scars hurt? Harry finally asked.

Dumbledore looked at Harry carefully for a moment, then said, "I only have one guess, just a guess.

When Tom is near you, or when he has a particularly strong desire for revenge, your scars hurt. ”

"But...... Why? ”

"Because that unsuccessful spell, the Requisition Spell, has connected you to him." Dumbledore said.

"This is no ordinary scar."

Harry nodded, then stood up, ready to leave. He looked at William again and saw that he had no intention of leaving.

At this moment, Dumbledore's old voice came:

"William, you stay, I still have some things to tell you."

William snorted, not moving at all.

Harry slowly walked out of the office, looking at William's back as he closed the wooden door.

He remembered what he had just heard about William and Voldemort's battle in the meditation basin.

He hadn't even heard Hermione mention it!

Harry couldn't help but scold:

The forests of Albania were indeed burned by William and Hermione!

And said it wasn't the two of you who did it!

Walking saboteurs!
