Chapter 563: Part of Dumbledore's Plan, the Location of the Horcruxes (1/2)

Chapter 563 Part of Dumbledore's plan, where the Horcruxes are hidden

"Can I take a look?" Claire asked curiously, "I don't have to participate, but it's okay to understand it!"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't take out these two memory bottles in front of you.

But we can only look at the green bottle. As for the red bottle, it is a confession of an undercover agent. It's not appropriate to take it out now." Aaron shrugged.

In his opinion, Claire is a well-deserved darling of heaven, but most of her life experience so far has been obtained from books. This time, let her see Dumbledore's plan, which can more or less understand the complexity of human hearts.

The two of them put their heads into the Pensieve at the same time and entered Snape's memory.

"You must kill me with your own hands, Severus.

This is the only way, only in this way will the Dark Lord completely trust you."

"When the time comes, you have to tell Harry Potter something, but you must wait until Voldemort is at his weakest."

"What do you want me to tell him?"

"That night, Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to kill Harry. Lily Potter used her body to block her son, and the killing curse rebounded. At that time, a fragment of Voldemort's soul attached to the only living thing in the house at that time, that is, Harry.

This is why Harry can speak Parseltongue, why he can see Voldemort's thoughts, and part of Voldemort's soul lives in Harry's body."

"So at that time, the child must die?"

"Yes, he must die.

And it must be Voldemort himself Take the initiative, this is the most important thing. "

......

"You must tell Voldemort the exact date that Harry left his aunt and uncle's house. Voldemort thinks you are very well-informed. If you don't do this, it will arouse suspicion.

But you must instill the idea of ​​using a substitute into others. I think that should ensure Harry's safety. Try to use the Confusion Charm on Mundungus.

If you have to participate in the chase, you must be convincing. I expect you to continue to gain Voldemort's trust, otherwise Hogwarts will be at the mercy of the Carrow brothers and sisters. "

......

After reading the two short conversations, Aaron exhaled slowly, and couldn't help but feel fortunate that he successfully got Professor Snape's memory today, otherwise there is a 50% chance that Harry Potter, the living Horcrux, will die in his hands one day in the future.

"You can't deny it, an old fox is an old fox!

This is what a shrewd old man is! Look at his plan, how rigorous it is.

Professor Snape, Harry Potter, and even Voldemort have arranged everything clearly, and this is just a small part of the memory." Aaron said, looking at Claire meaningfully, "What do you think?"

"Why didn't Voldemort die if he killed Harry Potter himself?" Claire asked puzzledly.

"Did I ask you this?" Aaron said unhappily, "A smart mind is important in any era, but you can't rely on the mind alone.

Sometimes you can give up some things appropriately to achieve your goal, such as face, morality, and even bottom line."

"Just like our great principal, I can't find any fault with his plan, but it is particularly unfair to Professor Snape, almost putting all the risks, suffering, and even pain on Professor Snape alone.

Sacrifice him, and thousands of families will be happy. If I hadn't got this memory, if Professor Snape died, the Order of the Phoenix would definitely celebrate and have a party to celebrate."

Hearing this, Claire blinked her big eyes, looked at Aaron with a little evasion, and her face flushed a little.

Aaron's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition flashed across his mind.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay. I remember what you said." Claire waved her hand, "But my question just now..."

"I don't know. Harry and Voldemort are too deeply involved. Maybe there is something I overlooked." Aaron said, looking at the blank photo frame on the wall, "But I need to worry about another thing now."

......

Night fell.

The thought body patiently guarded the blank photo frame of Phineas in the Hall of the Gods, while Aaron quietly came to the outside of the castle under the cover of the Disillusionment Charm.

At the same time, Harry pushed open the door of the headmaster's office.

He was particularly excited today because Dumbledore promised to take him to find and destroy a Horcrux. This is what the savior should do.

"Harry." Dumbledore looked at the stubble on Harry Potter's chin and teased, "You should shave, my friend.

Sometimes I forget that you have grown so much, and sometimes I still see the little boy in the closet.

Forgive me for this whining, I am an old man."

"In my opinion, you haven't changed at all, professor." Harry smiled.

"You are as kind as your mother, no one will ignore this." Dumbledore straightened his back and looked at the scenery outside the window, "The place we are going to tonight is very dangerous."

"I am willing to go." Harry said hurriedly.

"Don't be nervous, I won't break my promise." Dumbledore shook his head with some amusement, "But I have one condition, you must follow all my instructions without hesitation."

"Of course, Professor."

"You may not understand what I mean." Dumbledore said solemnly, "If I tell you to hide, you have to hide, if I tell you to run, you have to run, if I tell you to ignore me and only save yourself, you must do it."

Harry's face changed slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

It's just a Horcrux, they have destroyed two of them, but Dumbledore's words are too serious, as if he might die.

"I want you to promise, Harry."

"I promise." Harry hesitated for a moment and nodded seriously.

Dumbledore then stretched out his right arm, "Hold my arm."

"Professor, Hogwarts does not allow Apparition?"

"The headmaster should have some privileges."

Harry smiled knowingly and grabbed Dumbledore's right hand.

The next moment, the two disappeared at the same time.

Phineas saw this and hurried to the blank photo frame in the Temple of the Gods. Seeing Aaron was still there, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Thank Merlin, you are here."

"Dumbledore took Harry away, didn't he?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know, Dumbledore didn't say the specific location.

But this time it's very dangerous, very dangerous. He wants Harry to promise him to follow all his orders without hesitation, and even abandon him to escape alone when necessary."

The thought body raised his eyebrows and sneered at this statement in his heart.

The place where the Horcruxes are stored is definitely dangerous, but it won't take his life.

Because according to Dumbledore's plan, he must die at the hands of Snape, which means he is absolutely sure to return to Hogwarts alive.

"Did Dumbledore tell me anything else?"

"No, that's all."

"Okay, I understand, you go back first!"

Phineas did not leave immediately, but looked at the thought body hesitantly, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Want to see your great-grandson again?" The thought body curled its lips, "I can't agree to this for the time being, he is now sealed well, it's not time to let him out yet."

"No, I just want to ask if you are not going to help?" Phineas said a little stiffly.

Aaron was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Help Dumbledore?

Tell me how to help? I don't even know where they are."

"This..."

"Okay, go back, and let me know if you have any other information."

"Got it."

The photo frame became blank again, and the thought body communicated with the body outside the school, "You heard what he said, without the exact location, the trick of Apparition will probably not work."

"It doesn't matter, there are other ways." Aaron took out the treasure hunting compass with some helplessness, thinking about Dumbledore's location in his mind, and the pointer began to rotate and pointed to a direction in a while.

Swish!

Aaron rushed into the night sky at a very fast speed, leaving Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade Village behind in the blink of an eye.

The floating of the chicken charm and the speed of the rabbit charm, these two combined are high-speed flight.

He wanted to experience the ability to fly a long time ago, but it was not convenient in Hogwarts, and today was the first time to try it.

Following the pointer, Aaron flew over mountains, rivers, towns and cities, and finally stopped above a coast.

The waves rolled, the sea breeze blew in his face, and a steep cliff standing here was the location pointed by the pointer.

The rocks were jagged and desolate, and Aaron always felt that this place was a bit evil, as if covered with a layer of cold curse, which made people feel cold on their backs.

"It seems that I have found the right place. The Horcrux must be here." Aaron looked at the dark rock wall in front of him, and seemed to understand why Voldemort hid the Horcrux here.

First of all, this area of ​​water is very dangerous.

The surging waves blocked the approach of the ship, and the scouring of the sea water made the cliff wall extremely smooth. Unless you are a rock climbing expert, you can't climb over it.

Secondly, the pointer pointed to a gap under the cliff. It has been submerged by the sea, and the only way to get in is to swim.

The entrance alone can make most people retreat, plus the 100% existence of traps inside, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

Aaron flew to the front of the gap, and the swirling sea water blocked the entrance.

He pulled his lips slightly and jumped in directly.

However, the moment he touched the sea surface, a spherical barrier suddenly appeared and wrapped him inside.

The water repellent spell blocked the cold sea water, and Aaron entered a dark passage effortlessly. He walked forward according to the pointer until he entered the depths of the cliff and got out of the water.

It was still extremely dark here. There was a staircase on the shore, which led directly to a cliff cave.

Aaron found a lot of water stains on the steps as he moved forward, and guessed that they were left by Harry and Dumbledore, but he did not find their figures when he entered the cliff cave.

If the pointer had not pointed to a cliff, Aaron would have suspected that they had successfully taken the Horcrux and ran away.

"Is there a mechanism to protect it, or a secret door protected by magic?" Aaron thought for a while and drew out his wand and pointed it at the cliff, "Quickly show yourself."

The cliff did not react, and Aaron was not surprised. How could the Dark Lord's mechanism be so simple?

"Flames are blazing!"

The blazing flames shot towards the rock wall, but an invisible barrier suddenly appeared to block the flames, and at the same time an arch appeared with ancient magic runes written on it.

"You can enter only after sacrificing blood?" Aaron couldn't help but sneer after translating. His blood was very precious, and it was a waste to sacrifice it to this door.

Aaron decisively increased his magic output. Compared with sacrifice, he still preferred violent breaking of the door.

Crack! Crack!

The barrier gradually dimmed under the burning of the flames, and cracks appeared on the arch.

But the joy lasted only three seconds, and the whole cliff cave began to shake violently, rocks and gravel fell uncontrollably, and even sea water seeped in.

"Fuck!"

Aaron decisively stopped, and the cliff cave returned to normal.

But the arch did not disappear, just stood there quietly, like a silent provocation.

Aaron was very angry, but he had no choice. It was not impossible to break the door violently, but the moment it succeeded, the cliff would completely collapse and be buried deep in the sea.

This place was cast with a very powerful anti-apparition spell. If you can't retreat in time, being buried alive is the only outcome.

Even if Aaron could guarantee his own safety, it would be a lot of work to salvage a Horcrux from a seabed ruin.

"Sacrifice, sacrifice, okay!" Aaron cursed unhappily. He could see that this door was to make people who wanted to enter injured and bleed, reducing their strength. The method was low-level but very disgusting.

Aaron pointed the wand at his palm, but after hesitating for a while, he put it down.

Then, he opened a red magic circle, took out a can of blood from it, and poured it directly on the arch.

This was the blood of the basilisk. Aaron did not waste its body after killing the basilisk. The blood, venom, snake skin and even bones were all sucked out.

'Sacrifice blood to enter' did not say that you had to sacrifice your own blood. If Voldemort wanted to see this Horcrux on a whim one day, he would definitely not use his own blood.

The blood was swallowed by the arch, revealing a black doorway.

Aaron did not use the fluorescent spell to illuminate, but walked in directly. After all, he was here to intercept, because it would be too worthless to expose himself with a ball of light.

After walking a distance, Aaron saw a huge black lake surrounded by silence.

In the center of the lake was an office-sized island made of rocks. In addition, there was a bright white light hanging above the island, illuminating the central area of ​​the lake.

Dumbledore and Harry were on the island at the moment. They were surrounding a base emitting a green glow, seemingly discussing something.

Aaron approached cautiously, not daring to make any sound.

Just as he was about to go down to the lake, a strong sense of uneasiness sounded the alarm in his mind, and he almost instinctively took a few steps back.

The next moment, a pale hand suddenly stretched out from the lake and grabbed the place where he had just stood.

"Watfa..."
