"No one dares to get anywhere...... Dumbledore said, as if to sigh, lamenting the misfortune of the villagers.

Speaking of which, they are also Voldemort's neighbors?

Fan Lin couldn't help but look back at the villagers below the mountain, after the evolution of time, this place has gradually become barren, and the villagers who originally lived in the town have also left here because of all kinds of strange things.

For example, the Muggle who was supposed to guard Riddle's house, the poor man who was killed by Voldemort, who was not yet fully resurrected.

In fact, nearly half a century ago, the murder at Tom Riddle's ancestral home impressed the residents of the town, and naturally, no one dared to approach it, and if something happened, Van Lin would not have to worry about being discovered by unrelated people.

What's more, the Ministry of Magic is now too busy to take care of itself, isn't it, and the most they do now is look at the traces on Harry's wand, hoping that they can get something of value to the Ministry.

But in fact, with the intervention of Hesitant Van Lin, many of Dumbledore's decisions were changed, and the power of the Ministry of Magic ......

Without the willingness to use dirty means, it would be difficult for Dumbledore to take control of the Ministry of Magic.

This is not the time when Grindelwald has just stepped down, the Ministry of Magic has already made changes, and without the threat from outside, who would need a guy who can crush everyone and turn over.

And this idea has remained until now, and even if Voldemort returns, it will hardly be able to reverse it immediately, unless Voldemort points his wand at their heads.

But wouldn't they die then?

What qualifications does a dead man have to stand up and show support for whom?

"I don't think Tom left a ring, there's no doubt that this doesn't fit the Horcruxes, so we have to be careful, come on, our target is across the street from that big house. ”

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore. Van Lin nodded, "But please be careful, Professor." ”

Fan Lin is not worried about himself, the resurrection stone is really just a useless thing for him, not to mention, in essence, it is all made by the Grim Reaper to play with wizards, and Fan Lin is not interested in this at all.

But Dumbledore was different from him, Dumbledore was wise enough, and in his long life, Dumbledore had enough experience.

And it is precisely this kind of person who will always leave this or that regret in his heart, and there is no doubt that this kind of person is very much in line with the needs of the resurrection stone.

In fact, Van Lin had grasped the general vein, and Dumbledore's obsession ......

"Oh, of course. Dumbledore nodded, "I never despise Tom, no matter when he was at that time, in fact, when he was at Hogwarts, Tom's various actions and novel magical ideas were very well received by everyone, and I didn't care about it at the time, or rather, I found a little bit of me and an old friend of mine in him, of course, those are the good side, Tom is really good at hiding." ”

As he walked, Dumbledore sighed at how good Tom really was, and the other side ......

No one would have thought that the humble and polite boy would become what he is now.

This is destined to be a failure for Hogwarts, the wizard who came out of Hogwarts, Voldemort is still the first and worst one.

Walking along the road in O'Gden's memory, unlike the towns at the foot of the mountain, it has not been passed through for a long time, and it is still the kind of dirt road that has not been repaired, retaining the original appearance of half a century ago, but on this basis, it adds a little desolation.

The roads became overgrown with weeds, and even the originally gentle road had a slight greenery, which seemed to be the only evidence of the existence of time, just like the dilapidated houses, a hundred years was a long time, but it was not so cruel because there were no people.

It was still the same as the country windmill hut, and through the fence and ancient trees at the door, the ancestral home of the Gaunt family appeared in front of Van Lin's eyes in astonishment.

To be exact, it is more appropriate to describe it as a haunted house.

Compared to the screaming shack, the ancestral home of the Gaunt family is even more dilapidated, and the remaining snake bones are hung on the wall as a decoration for the doorway, adding some desolate and terrifying atmosphere to the house, which makes the already eerie atmosphere even worse, as if stepping into the entrance to the hell of the snake cave.

Suddenly, a swimming figure quickly passed by Fan Lin's feet.

It was a green snake.

"It looks like the Gaunt family still has something to attract them. Dumbledore said, looking at the figure swimming in the grass.

This is the characteristic of the snake whisperer family, and by their side, the viper is the most loyal companion, because they never fear betrayal, which does not exist in the eyes of the snake, the parseltongue is their leader, and other than that, for the snake, there is only food and non-food.

"Let's go, it's just the spontaneous behavior of these creatures, it doesn't seem like there's any magic circle or anything like that, these snakes use this place as their nest, although they don't have a colony, this is perhaps the most special place for them. ”

"Holy Land?"

"No, it's slavery. Dumbledore shook his head, "They serve the people in this room, even though this place is completely gone, but in the concept of animals, guardianship has become ingrained. ”

"Like a basilisk in a Slytherin chamber?"

"Ah, almost. Dumbledore said, "However, the snake whisperer's control over the snake can be passed on forever, and it is quite imprinted. Dumbledore nodded, "Alright, I guess we'd better leave them alone, but we still have one thing to remember. ”

"One thing?" Van Lin was a little confused.

"We must be vigilant at all times. Dumbledore shook his head, "Even though this place looks dilapidated, it's a snake cave after all. ”

"Snake Cave ......" Fan Lin was a little silent.

Dumbledore was right, since Voldemort returned, there was always a pair of eyes around them, staring at them in the dark.

No matter what they do, sooner or later they will fight Voldemort, and in Van Lin's thoughts, the price they need to pay for blindly sticking to it is really unbearable, but what if they take the initiative?

The possibility of failure will become infinite, and for the snake cave, so far, only Rutherford can help them, but the lack of strength is indeed irreparable.

Fortunately, Dumbledore was much stronger than Van Lin thought, and with Harry's containment, Dumbledore had a good chance of defeating Voldemort, but war was not always counted like this.

"Let's go. ”

Van Lin nodded, and followed Dumbledore forward.

It's a fitting place to call it a dilapidated house, with vines wrapped tightly around the walls, and thanks to these plants, the main body of the house has not collapsed, but it is not a long-term thing, and sooner or later, the plants will break through these obstacles and grow into the sun.

Maybe a hundred years, two hundred years?

I have to admit that Voldemort is extremely bold, this house and the surrounding poisonous snakes are not enough to hinder the footsteps of a wizard, except for some cover-up functions, this house is not a good choice for preserving precious objects.

But again, in the eyes of the wizard, such a dilapidated house is worthless in itself.

It can be said that no one would pay attention to such a dilapidated house at all, just like Sirius's choice at that time.

A place that is not interesting in the slightest, but at the same time exposed to everyone's eyes.

The most dangerous place is the safest place?

Admittedly, this is a very useful theory, but at times, it seems a bit self-conceited?

"I think this is it. Dumbledore suddenly stood in place, and Van Lin crashed into Dumbledore's body without paying attention.

"Concentrate on it, Fanlin, what are you thinking?"

"I wonder why Voldemort put such an important thing here. Van Lin shook his head, "In fact, if someone learns about his past and at the same time knows the concept of Horcruxes, it becomes dangerous here, I have to admit, this kind of thinking ......"

"Perhaps, Tom is just confident in his magic, or maybe he thinks he's perfect enough that no one would associate Tom Riddle with Voldemort, right?" Dumbledore said, "Since I turned down his offer to teach at Hogwarts that year, and when Tom returns here, only the name Voldemort remains. ”

"And what about the people around him? For example, Bellatrix still has ......."

"They won't betray him, out of fear, or something else, and, Regulus, perhaps, is really the only ......"

"And Professor Snape. Van Lin said.

Dumbledore was a little surprised, but then shook his head, "It's different, Van Lin, Severus is in fact, it's just a deal, fortunately, the chips are on our side......"

"Lily Potter?"

"Perhaps, of course, without removing Harry, he has the same eyes as Lily. ”

"So, now, Professor Snape is back with Voldemort, isn't he?" Van Lin hesitated.

"It's Severus' own choice and we can only trust it, but one thing is for sure, if Severus doesn't want to, no one can spy on what he really thinks. ”

"But, it's dangerous, and besides, Harry used to ......."

"Memory and thought, these are two different concepts, one is the past and the other, the present. Dumbledore said.

"Now......" Van Lin nodded, "So, Professor, what did you want me to do?"

"I don't think you won't feel it. Dumbledore shook his head, Dumbledore was always very satisfied with Van Lin's reaction, no matter what time it was.

At least, unlike Harry, Van Lin was always quick enough to make a decision, although, both were problem children.

"It's magic, Professor. I can see it. Van Lin said, with the cover of magic power, the surrounding world seemed to be infinitely magnified, so that some places that were easily overlooked were also displayed in front of Van Lin's eyes. "However, I didn't find anything ......"

"No, that's not enough...... Dumbledore said, "feel it with your heart and don't trust your eyes too much, even if it's your gift, but sometimes, everything around you can deceive your vision." ”

"Deception?" Van Lin lowered his head, but he didn't close his eyes.

A person always has a method that suits him, and the result may be the same, but in the process, there are always different methods.

With the blessing of his soul, Fan Lin completely focused his spirit on his eyes, and his originally pale blue pupils became clearer, as if there was a light to shine through.

Practiced, the vision in front of Fan Lin's eyes became different.

The magic of everything seemed to be an interweaving of dots and threads, and in Dumbledore's case, this feeling was most intense.

Visible to the naked eye, the surrounding magic was constantly absorbed by Dumbledore, like a void that could not be filled, and at just one glance, Van Lin's spirit almost fell into it.

But once he looked away, Dumbledore's sense of existence immediately dropped to the lowest point, and all the magic was firmly restrained by Dumbledore, which couldn't help but make Van Lin a little discouraged.

Catching up with Dumbledore?

I don't know how Voldemort did it, but within a few years of graduating from Hogwarts, he grew to the point where he was able to compete with Dumbledore.

"I found it. Van Lin said, his gaze falling on the house in front of him, and in the direction of the left, a distorted light blurred the surroundings, and with it, it was a tempting mood.

"Ah, yes. Dumbledore said, "If there are no surprises, it is somewhere." ”

"But, Professor, what kind of magic is that, this feeling makes me very uncomfortable. ”

"I don't know. Dumbledore shook his head, "Actually, I don't know much about what magic Tom once mastered and to what extent, but when Tom and I were standing across from him, he became incredibly clear. ”

"Darkness, destruction, killing, the ability to make people feel fear, even when seen from afar. Dumbledore said, "But there is no doubt that we have to pay a price. ”

"Is it blood, Professor?" Van Lin remembered Voldemort's arrangement in the grotto.

At that time, Sirius paid a lot of blood, and there were Yin corpses in the lake as guards, if it was alone, the conditions for opening the portal alone would make people lose more than half, or even more, of their combat power.

After that, you'll have to find the boat hidden in the mist, or you'll have to cross a lake of corpses, and after that, you'll have to drink a deadly potion to get the treasure.

And each of these steps is enough for a normal wizard to die once or several times, naturally, for the arrangement here, Fan Lin still does not dare to break through with a big grin.

You know, in the original, it was the arrangement of the ring that hastened Dumbledore's death, causing Dumbledore to have to let Harry carry out some risky operations, and even let Snape kill him with his own hands to gain Voldemort's full trust.

In the end, if it weren't for the fact that the Resurrection Stone really worked, and Dumbledore's soul had been waiting for the exit, Voldemort would have almost succeeded.

Hogwarts, having lost Dumbledore, was too powerless in the face of the Death Eaters' attack.
