Chapter 1016: Traces of Magic

......

"Traces of magic ......" Van Lin looked at Dumbledore thoughtfully, there is no doubt that Dumbledore is also the first time to come here, naturally it is impossible to know about Voldemort's arrangements, but Dumbledore doesn't even need Kreacher's prompts to find a way, and his sensitivity to magic has not decreased in the slightest.

But Dumbledore said he could see it......

Fan Lin froze, and his cold perception emptied his brain in an instant.

With the clarity of sight, everything here becomes different from the past, the surrounding stone walls have not changed, but the magic intertwined in the space is extremely clear in front of you.

And the most eye-catching thing is a pale green anomaly, and the source of this anomaly is being held by Dumbledore.

"How do you know where it is?" asked Hermione, a little surprised.

"Magic always leaves traces," replied Dumbledore, the boat gently crashing onto the shore, "and sometimes, the traces are clearly visible." I taught Tom. Riddle, I know his way of doing things, and, it looks like Van Lin has found out. ”

"Oh, yes, but this is ......" Van Lin tried to find the other ships, but Voldemort clearly had no intention of using this as his parlor.

"So, is the ship safe?" Sirius asked, giving him a very bad premonition. "I mean, we have to go over?"

"Oh, safe, I think so. Voldemort needed to create a way to cross the lake that wouldn't provoke the wrath of the monsters he had placed in the lake, in case he needed to look at or remove the Horcruxes, and, if we didn't get there, no one would be able to climb over so many corpses to pick up anything, it would be like conquering it, obviously, more effective from within. ”

"So, if we cross the lake as Voldemort's boat, the corpses in the water won't do anything to us?" asked Hermione cautiously.

"I think if they can sense that we're not Voldemort, it's more or less possible, then we'll have to resign ourselves to it. Still, we've done a good job so far. They've already let us pull the boat out. ”

"But how could they allow it?" asked Hermione. Out of sight until the shore of the lake, Hermione still couldn't shake off her imagination of the tentacles rising from the black lake.

It's terrifying for girls, endless tentacles rise from the water and take them all......

"Voldemort is quite confident that no one but a very powerful wizard will be able to find the ship. Dumbledore said. "I think he was mentally prepared for the worst, that it was possible that someone else would find the ship too, and I could see that he had set up a barrier in front of him that only he could pass through. We can see if he's right. ”

Van Lin nodded, and then he focused his gaze on the boat, Kreacher was right, it was really small.

"It doesn't look like it's for two people. But are there four of us? Aren't we too heavy together?" Sirius hesitated, there were too many people coming, and then I didn't have any extra boats, could it be that I swam over?

Dumbledore chuckled.

"Voldemort doesn't care about weight, he only cares about the strength of the magic that passes through his lake. I'd rather believe that a magic was added to the ship to ensure that only a wizard could sail inside. ”

"But then...?"

"That's not a problem, maybe Hermione and I can become Animagus, and so can Sirius. "However, there is no guarantee that we will not be attacked on the ship, and Kreacher went with Voldemort for the second time...... The second time Regulus and Kreacher came, Kreacher took Regulus directly inside......"

"Oh no, Kreacher can't get there. "There was also a great hindrance to the entry from the outside, and here, Kreacher's magic was of no use to himself except for himself, and it was Master Regulus who discovered the boat." ”

"You have to try before you decide. ”

Sirius said suddenly, and with a stretch of his hand, a large silver dog burst out of Sirius' wand.

The silvery-white glow of the Patronus was out of place here.

The silver patronus rushed towards the opposite shore at great speed, and suddenly, the otherwise calm surface of the lake was like boiling water, and it seemed that something was about to gush out.

Just as Van Lin was about to find out, the black water that had been revealed by the environment suddenly rushed out of the lake, condensed into the shape of a skull in midair, and the wide open mouth engulfed Sirius's spell without even a trace of light.

A huge rumbling sound sounded in Van Lin's ears, and without the invasion of foreign objects, the water quickly fell back into the lake, and the huge splash did not splash a trace on the shore, as if it was bound by something.

The whole lake was enchanted, not only the corpses in the lake, but the only thing that was calm was the boat that was quietly moored in the lake.

"The answer is obvious," Dumbledore said, "as long as we take the boat, there shouldn't be any problems, so ......"

Dumbledore glanced at Van Lin, who nodded, and together with Hermione, his body changed rapidly, and soon two snow-white cats appeared on the shore of the lake.

"It reminds me of Minerva......" Dumbledore said with a smile, "but you two are much better looking than Minerva, and I've always said she's too serious......"

Van Lin was a little speechless when he listened, compared to Dumbledore, in his daily behavior, Professor McGonagall showed more like the performance of a thousand-year-old magic school.

Wise, stern, meticulous, and occasionally softer and kinder, this is much more reliable than Dumbledore, who usually looks insane from the outside.

"Okay, a little hiccup, but the answer is obvious, even I have to play by Tom's rules. Dumbledore said, stepping on the boat with one foot.

"Oh, come on......" said Dumbledore, taking the lead at one end of the ship, Sirius following in, and Van Lin saw the ship shake visibly.

The ship was so small that there were no extra platforms left for the two of them.

"Come on, come up to my lap and be careful not to touch the water. Sirius warned, and Kreacher hesitated.

"Come up, Kreacher......"
