Chapter 1016 Traces of Magic

…

"Traces of magic..." Fan Lin looked at Dumbledore thoughtfully. There was no doubt that Dumbledore was here for the first time. Naturally, it was impossible for him to know about Voldemort's arrangements, but Dumbledore didn't even know. He could find a way with Kreacher's prompting, but his acumen for magic has not decreased at all.

But Dumbledore said he could see it too...

Fan Lin calmed down, and the cold sensation cleared his brain in an instant.

As the line of sight became clearer, everything here became different from the past. The surrounding stone walls remained unchanged, but the magic intertwined in the space was clearly presented in front of the eyes.

The most eye-catching thing is the light green movement, and the source of this movement is in Dumbledore's hand.

"How do you know where it is?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"Magic always leaves traces," Dumbledore replied, as the boat gently hit the shore of the lake. "Sometimes, the traces are clearly visible. I taught Tom Riddle, I know his way of doing things, and it seems that Fanlin Already discovered."

"Oh, yes, but just this one..." Fan Lin tried to find other ships, but Voldemort obviously had no intention of using this as his living room.

"So, is the ship safe?" Sirius asked, which always gave him a very bad premonition. "I mean, we must go there?"

"Oh, safe, I guess so. Voldemort needs to create a way to cross the lake that won't arouse the wrath of the monsters he's placed in the lake, just in case he needs to see or remove the Horcruxes, and if we don't In the past, no one could reach across so many Inferi to retrieve anything. This is like conquering it. Obviously, it is more effective from the inside."

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

"I suppose it's more or less possible if they can sense we're not Voldemort, and then we'll just have to accept our fate. So far, though, we're doing pretty well. They've let us pull the boat out. ”

"But why would they allow it?" Hermione asked. The shore was no longer visible, and Hermione still couldn't shake the thought of tentacles rising from the black water.

It was terrifying for the girl, the endless tentacles rising from the water and then taking all of them...

"Voldemort is quite confident that no one except a very powerful wizard can find this ship." Dumbledore said. "I think he was mentally prepared for the worst, that maybe someone else could find the boat, and he could see that he had set up a barrier in front that only he could get through. We can see if he is Not right."

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

"It doesn't look like it's for two people. But there are four of us? Are we too heavy together?" Sirius hesitated. There were too many people coming, and I didn't have an extra boat. Is it possible to swim over?

Dumbledore chuckled.

"Voldemort won't care about the weight, he will only care about the strength of the magical power passing through his lake. I would rather believe that there is a magic added to this boat to ensure that only a wizard can sail it in it."

"But then...?"

"That's not a problem. Maybe Hermione and I can become Animagus, and so can you, Sirius." Fan Lin said, "However, we can't guarantee whether we will be attacked on the ship, Kreacher." He went with Voldemort, and the second time...the second time when Regulus and Kreacher came, Kreacher took Regulus directly inside..."

"Oh, no, Kreacher can't get through." Kreacher said, "He was also greatly hindered when he came in from the outside, and here, Kreacher's magic is completely useless except for himself. Master Gulus discovered the boat."

“You have to try before you decide.”

Sirius said suddenly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a big silver dog rushed out of Sirius' wand.

The silver-white light emitted by the patron saint seems out of place here.

The silver patron saint rushed towards the other shore at a very fast speed. Suddenly, the originally calm lake surface kept churning like boiling water, as if something was about to gush out.

Just when Fan Lin was about to find out, the black water flow due to the environment suddenly rushed out of the lake and condensed into the shape of a skull in mid-air. The open mouth swallowed up Sirius's curse in one go, and even Not even a ray of light came through.

A huge rumble sounded in Fan Lin's ears. Without the intrusion of foreign objects, the water quickly fell back into the lake, but none of the huge splashes splashed to the shore, as if it was bound by something. .

The entire lake was enchanted, not just the Inferi in the lake, but the only calm thing was the boat moored quietly in the lake.

"The answer is obvious," Dumbledore said. "As long as we go there by boat, there shouldn't be any problem, so..."

Dumbledore glanced at Fan Lin, who nodded, and together with Hermione, their bodies changed rapidly, and soon two snow-white cats appeared on the lake shore.

"This reminds me of Minerva..." Dumbledore said with a smile, "However, you two look much better than Minerva. I have always said that she is too serious... …”

Fan Lin was speechless. Compared to Dumbledore, in his daily behavior, Professor McGonagall behaved more like a magic school with a thousand-year heritage.

Wise, stern, meticulous, and occasionally showing a soft and kind side, this is much more reliable than Dumbledore. Using external descriptions, Dumbledore usually looks crazy.

"Okay, some small interruptions, but the answer is already obvious. Even I must abide by Tom's rules of the game." Dumbledore said, stepping onto the canoe with one foot first.

"Oh, come on..." Dumbledore said, taking the lead to sit at one end of the boat. Sirius also followed in. Fan Lin saw the boat shake obviously.

The boat was so small that there was no extra platform for the two of them.

"Come on, get on my lap, be careful not to touch the water." Sirius reminded, while Kreacher hesitated.

"Come up, Kreacher..." (To be continued)
