Duten's sudden appearance gave Harry hope. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He grabbed his sleeve like a drowning man who had grabbed the only lifeboat.

"Du Teng, I, I don't know what to do, you, you can help me."

"Good!"

Duten nodded, walked up to Dumbledore, and looked at him condescendingly.

Dumbledore gasped for breath, then spoke in a voice Harry didn't recognize, he had never seen Dumbledore so scared.

"I don't want to...... Don't let me ......" Harry stared at the pale, familiar face, staring at the towering nose and half-moon glasses, not knowing what to do.

“…… Dislike...... Want to stop......" Dumbledore groaned.

"You...... You can't stop, Professor. Harry said. You have to keep drinking, remember? You told me you had to keep drinking. Give ......" Harry held back his tears and forced the goblet to Dumbledore's mouth, Duten reached out to take it, and then held Dumbledore's chin and poured the wine into it, so Dumbledore drank the rest of the potion inside.

Harry watched from the sidelines, hating himself, disgusted with what he was doing.

"Help me, Duten, teach him ......"

"I know."

Duten said, refilling the cup with his backhand.

"No......," he groaned when he saw Du Teng put the goblet into the stone basin and filled it for him. I don't want ...... I don't want ...... Let me go......" "It's okay, Professor. Du Teng said in a deep voice, "It's okay, I'm here-"

"Let it stop, let it stop," Dumbledore groaned.

"Good...... Okay, so that can make it stop. Duten lied. He poured the contents of the goblet into Dumbledore's open mouth.

Dumbledore screamed, his voice echoing throughout the cavern, over the lifeless black lake.

"No, no, no...... No...... I can't...... I can't, don't push me, I don't want ......"

"It's okay, Professor, it's okay!"

Du Ten stopped talking.

Harry exclaimed,

Du Teng's hand was very steady, and he steadily took out the sixth cup of potion; The stone basin is now half empty.

"You didn't have an accident, you're safe, it's not true, I swear it's not true - drank it, now, drank it......" Dumbledore drank obediently, as if Duten had given him an antidote. But as soon as he drank the cup, he fell to his knees and trembled involuntarily.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault," he whimpered, "please let it stop, I know I'm wrong, oh, please let it stop, I never, never ...... again"

"That will make it stop, Professor," Duten said, his voice remarkably calm, even a little cold, as he poured the seventh potion into Dumbledore.

Dumbledore began to flinch, as if there were unseen cool officials tormenting him; His wildly waved hand almost knocked over the goblet in Du Teng's hand, it was already full of potions again, and he moaned, "Don't hurt them, don't hurt them, please, please, it's my fault, hurt me......"

"Here, drink this, drink this, and you'll be fine," Duten said expressionlessly, and Dumbledore obeyed him once more, his mouth open, but his eyes were still tightly closed, and he was shaking from head to toe.

Harry had closed his eyes in despair.

He threw himself forward, screaming, and pounding the ground with his fists.

At the same time, Duten went to fill the ninth cup.

"Please, please, please, no...... Don't do that, don't do that, I'm willing to do anything......"

"Just drink it, Professor, just drink it......" Dumbledore drank like a child dying of thirst, but as soon as he finished drinking, he screamed again, as if his internal organs were on fire.

"No, please, don't......"

Du Teng filled the tenth cup of potion, and felt that the crystal had scraped to the bottom of the basin.

"We're coming to an end, Professor, drink it, drink it......" He braced himself on Dumbledore's shoulder, and Dumbledore drank it all again; Duten then stood up and refilled the glass, just as Dumbledore began to scream, sounding in pain, "I want to die!" I want to die! Let it stop, let it stop, I want to die! ”

"Drink it, Professor, drink it......" Dumbledore drank, and as soon as he finished drinking it, he screamed, "Kill me!" ”

"This—this cup is over!" Du Teng's voice was very calm, "Just drink this cup...... That's it...... It's over! ”

Dumbledore gulped down the potion until there was not a drop left, and then he gasped and rolled face down to the ground.

"No!" Harry shouted, lunging to Dumbledore and turning him over; Dumbledore's glasses were crooked to the side, his mouth open, his eyes closed.

"No," Harry shook Dumbledore, "no, you're not dead, you said it wasn't poison. Wake up, wake up - revive! He cried and pointed his wand at Dumbledore's chest; A red light shot out, but nothing happened. "Recover quickly--Professor-please-" Dumbledore's eyelids twitched; Harry's heartbeat intensified.

"Professor, are you—?"

"Water," Dumbledore said hoarsely.

"Water," Harry said breathlessly, "-yes-" He jumped to his feet and grabbed the goblet that had been thrown into the stone basin; I barely noticed that there was a golden box pendant inside.

"Clear water ripples," he shouted, poking the goblet with his wand.

The goblet was filled with water; Harry knelt beside Dumbledore, lifted his head, and brought the cup to his lips - but it was empty. Dumbledore groaned and began to gasp for air.

"But I just had—wait—clear water ripples!" Harry pointed to the goblet with his wand and said again. A moment later, the glass was shiny again, but as soon as he reached Dumbledore's mouth, the water disappeared again.

"Professor, I'm trying, I'm trying!" Harry said in despair, but he felt that Dumbledore could not hear him; He rolled over and lay on his side, his loud gasps sounding painful. "Clear Water Ripple - Clear Water Ripple - Clear Water Ripple!" The goblet filled up again and then disappeared. At this moment, Dumbledore's breathing was gradually weakening. Harry thought in a panic, instinctively thinking of the only way to get water, as Voldemort had planned even that...... He rushed to the rocks and plunged his cup into the lake, filling it with a cup of cold water, and the water did not disappear again.

"Professor—give!" Harry shouted as he lunged at Dumbledore, awkwardly pouring water onto Dumbledore's face.

He couldn't have done better, because the cold feeling in his arm that didn't hold the cup wasn't the lingering chill of the lake. The sticky white hand grabbed his wrist, and the creature with it was slowly pulling him behind the rock. The surface of the lake is no longer as smooth as a mirror; The waves were rolling in the lake, and everywhere Harry could see, white heads and hands were emerging from the black water, and men, women, and children with sunken eye sockets and blindness were moving in the direction of the rocks: an army of dead men rose from the black waters.

"It's all petrified!" Harry shouted, struggling to cling to the slippery surface of the island as he pointed his wand at the Yin Fei Force that was clutching him: it let go of him and fell backwards into the lake, making a splash. Harry crawled up; But more Yin Fei forces have climbed the rocks. Their scrawny hands clung to the smooth surface of the rock, their hollow eyes staring at him, their sunken faces ill-intentioned.

"It's all petrified!" Harry roared again, waving his wand in the air as he stepped back; Six or seven Yin Fei forces had fallen, but more were approaching him. "There are many obstacles! Hurry up and imprison! "A few of them fell, and one or two were tied up with ropes. But after climbing up the rock, Yin Fei only stepped over and even stepped on the fallen corpse. Still frantically waving his wand, Harry shouted, "Swords and swords! Swords! ”

Though there were deep wounds cut in their soaked clothes and cold skin, there was no blood to flow: they walked forward mercilessly, holding out their crumpled hands to him, and he took a few steps back, feeling a pair of skinny arms behind his back envelop him, cold as the arms of a dead man, his feet off the ground, and they lifted him, slowly but surely into the water, Harry knew they wouldn't let him go, he would be drowned, and become another Death Guard, guarding a piece of Voldemort's shattered soul……

Suddenly, a bolt of fire shot through the darkness: a circle of crimson and golden flames encircled the rock, and Harry's Yin Fei fell and staggered; They did not dare to pass through the flames and return to the water. So Harry was left behind by them; He fell to the ground and slipped off the rocks, his arm bruised, but he got up again, raised his wand and looked around.

Dumbledore sat on the ground, his face as pale as the Yin Feili around him.

Duten stood right beside him, flames beating in his eyes; He held a wand like a torch, and flames shot out of its end, warmly encircling them like a giant lasso.

The corpses collided with each other, trying to grope their way out of the fire that trapped them......

Du Teng scooped up the box pendant from the bottom of the stone basin and stuffed it into his robe.

He silently beckoned Harry to come to him. The Yin Corpses were distracted by the flames and did not notice that their prey was leaving, at this time Dumbledore was not even clear, Duten could only take Harry and Dumbledore in the direction of the boat, the ring of fire kept following them, surrounding them, and the bewildered Yin Corpses followed them to the water's edge, and all of them slid into the black lake.

Harry shuddered, and for a moment thought Dumbledore would not be able to climb into the boat; He shook a little as he crawled in; He seemed to be putting all his energy into maintaining the ring of fire that protected them. Harry grabbed him and helped him into the boat. As soon as they were safely huddled together, the boat began to sail back through the black water, away from the rock. The ring of fire still surrounded the two of them, and the Yin corpses gathered beneath them didn't seem to dare to surface the water anymore.

"Professor," Duten walked up to Dumbledore and pulled out a bottle of potion from his bosom, "Professor, this is what Snape made for me, you can drink it, you can wash out all the potions you just drunk." ”

"Thank you." Dumbledore whispered. Harry was horrified to find that his voice was so weak.

Their boat slammed into the shore of the lake, and Harry jumped out and quickly turned to help Dumbledore.

Dumbledore collapsed to the ground as soon as he stepped onto the shore; The ring of fire was gone, but the corpse did not emerge from the water again. The boat sank again into the water; The chain also slid back into the lake with a clang. Dumbledore sighed heavily and leaned against the cave wall.

After a while, his body began to tremble. Du Teng stood next to him, looking at him quietly.

Harry looked a little anxious, but he had no idea what to do.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Dumbledore, who was constantly trembling, suddenly shuddered, and then opened his mouth, protruding a large black unidentified object.

It looks like the tentacles of an octopus, with a lot of suckers on them, but the shape is completely different, not a long strip, but a ball of meat.

The meat balls were pitch black, and an unknown liquid was constantly oozing out.

And Dumbledore, who spit out the meat ball, looked much better.

"Thank you so much...... Duten ......" he said.

"Don't say that, Professor, this is what I'm supposed to do."

Du Teng shook his head, without any expression on his face.

"Don't worry, Professor," Harry was concerned about Dumbledore's extremely pale and exhausted appearance. "Don't worry, I'll take us out...... Lean on me, Professor......" Harry put Dumbledore's uninjured arm on his shoulder and walked back around the shore with his Headmaster, who had supported most of Dumbledore's weight.

"This protection is really ...... In the final analysis...... Very thoughtful," Dumbledore said weakly. "You will never succeed alone, you did a good job, very good, Harry......"

"Don't talk now," Harry said worriedly. He noticed with horror how muffled Dumbledore's voice was, how slow and laborious his steps were, "Save your energy, Professor...... We'll be able to get out of here soon......"

"The arch must have been sealed again...... My knife ......"

"No, I'll do it this time," Duten said beside him, "just tell me where I am......

"...... here" Harry pointed to the stone, and Duten raised his wand and flicked it, and a beam of lightning struck the stone, the stone trembled violently, and the arch immediately opened. They made their way through the cavern outside, and Harry helped Dumbledore back into the icy waters that filled the cliffs.

"You'll be fine, Professor," Harry said over and over again.

Harry was more worried about his silence than Dumbledore's weak voice right now.

"We're almost there...... I can use apparition to bring us all back...... Don't worry......" "I'm not worried at all, Harry," Dumbledore said, his voice sounding slightly stronger, despite the cold water. "With you and Duten here, I'm much better."
