Chapter 447: The Cave

The Headmaster of Hogwarts seemed to have been caught by Fawkes in his sleep, so much so that when he first landed, his expression was still a little dazed.

A cold wind with the smell of the sea blew, and the centenarian couldn't help but shiver, but at the same time he sobered up.

"Oh, Kyle, and Sirius...... What happened and why did you suddenly summon Fawkes. ”

"Horcruxes, Professor." Kyle gets straight to the point and says, "We've found Voldemort's Horcrux. ”

Dumbledore was visibly distracted for a moment, and the expression on his face was as if he had seen Snape in his dress dancing with the trolls, all of which were incredible.

He also looked for clues about the Horcrux, but never found anything, only to sleep and the Horcrux was found by Kyle again?

Dumbledore always had a sense of unreality.

"I'm running out for time, I'll explain to you later......" Kyle looked at Kreacher, "Take us there first." ”

The elf hurried towards the cave, Sirius following closely behind.

Kyle walked at the back, telling Dumbledore what had happened and reassuring Fawkes, who was pecking at his hair.

It wasn't complicated, and by the time a few people came to the middle of the cave, it was basically over.

Dumbledore's expression grew more serious.

A brave and kind man realizes that he has lost his way and chooses to sacrifice himself after realizing his mistake in order to fight Voldemort and save more people...... Even Dumbledore admired Regulus' courage.

"I think he deserves a precious phoenix tail feather, even if it only allows him to go home a few hours earlier...... It's worth it, too. Kyle concluded.

Dumbledore didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Fawkes, meanwhile, stopped pecking at his hair, and they came to Kreacher in silence, stopping in front of a cave wall.

"This is it." Kreacher said excitedly, pulling out a dinner knife.

"What are you going to do?" Sirius asked.

"I guess it's going to take blood to open this place." Dumbledore said.

Kreacher nodded, that's what he'd done before.

"It's too low-level." Dumbledore said, his tone full of contempt and even disappointment. "He wanted his opponent to weaken himself in order to get in, and once again Voldemort was incapable of understanding that there were many things that were much more terrible than physical damage."

Kreacher didn't understand him, he only knew that he would soon see Master Regulus, and he was glad to slash his arm with a dagger.

However, in the next second, the dinner knife was snatched away.

"I'll do it." Sirius rolled up his sleeves with his knife-holding hand, he didn't think Regulus would let the elf bleed to open the door, so he wouldn't do it.

But just as he was about to do it, the table knife was snatched away again.

Kyle casually pocketed the heavy sterling silver meal and pulled out a crimson bottle to Sirius.

"Remember, you owe me three hundred Galleons."

Kyle opened the bottle, and a strong smell of blood instantly filled the small cavern.

The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched, and he wanted to laugh.

Voldemort probably couldn't have imagined that someone would come here with a large amount of dragon blood with him.

This kind of magical blood is indeed suitable......

Kyle threw the bottle straight over.

A white and dazzling outline of an arch appeared on the cave wall, and the rock sprinkled with dragon blood in the arch suddenly disappeared, revealing a doorway that seemed to be endless darkness inside.

Kreacher excitedly ran through the doorway, and the others followed suit, lighting their wands.

In front of them was a very strange scene, they were standing on the shore of a large black lake, the surface of which was incomparably vast and endless. The cave they were in was also so high that they couldn't see the roof of the cave when they looked up.

In the distance, as if in the middle of a lake, there was a hazy, green light.

Kreacher rode around the shore of the lake, his footsteps snapping over the narrow rocks of the lake's edge.

Soon, Kreacher stopped, scribbled around him, and then reached out and slowly swiped through the air, as if trying to find and grasp something intangible.

But I don't know if he is too short, and he has nothing to gain after rowing for a long time.

Instead, it was Dumbledore, his hand hovering in mid-air, really catching something.

He took out his wand and tapped it into his fist with the tip of it.

Immediately, a thick green copper chain suddenly burst out of the lake and jumped towards Dumbledore's clenched fist,

The chain dragged something up from the dark bottom of the lake, and Sirius watched in horror as the bow of a small boat emerged from the lake like a ghost and floated towards where they stood, barely sending a ripple.

"It's ......"

"I think Voldemort needs to have a way to get through the lake when he needs to visit or retrieve his Horcruxes, so as not to anger the guys he has placed in the lake."

The ship docked.

Kreacher and Sirius jumped onto the ship at about the same time, and Dumbledore stepped on.

The boat was so small that after two adults and a house-elf got aboard, there was only a palm-sized piece left.

"Kyle, stay here, Fawkes will be with you." Dumbledore said, "And it's very likely that Voldemort had tried to enchant the ship, and if it carried too much magical power, it would sink to the bottom of the lake." ”

"That's right." Sirius nodded repeatedly, "And this ship is too small, even a normal ship can't bear the weight of three people." ”

Kyle suspects that they did it on purpose and just didn't want to let them go, but there is no evidence.

Because they were right, when Dumbledore went up, the boat sank sharply, and the boat was less than an inch or so away from the lake, let alone adding another person, even a cat would be difficult to get up.

But......

"Gentlemen." Kyle asked with a strange expression, "What do you remember the main purpose of this visit?" ”

"To find Regulus, of course!" Sirius blurted out.

"In that case, then why are you on a boat?" Kyle looked at the somewhat blackened lake, "I think the water here was probably made into another form of potion by Voldemort, and any creature dragged in it will slowly assimilate into a member of the Yin Corps over time, so isn't it the same here, why do you have to go to the middle of the lake."

Although Regulus was dragged in from there, no one could guarantee that he would be left there. ”
