Chapter 283 Blue and White Fire

Dumbledore did not deliberately pull the boat prepared by Voldemort out of the Black Lake, nor did he place the locket on the stone platform in the center of the lake.

He just bent down casually and placed Slytherin's locket casually on the ground.

If Vader remembered correctly, that was exactly where Regulus, who had turned into an Inferi, lay last time.

"This is a relic of Salazar Slytherin." Dumbledore said with regret: "If possible, I would actually like to keep it."

"It's a pity..." Sirius said in a cold voice: "It was tainted with the dirty souls of Salazar Slytherin's descendants."

The place where Regulus was buried seemed to bring back a lot of bad memories for him. Sirius looked unkind, and even in front of Dumbledore, he didn't show much respect.

"Who could have predicted what would happen a thousand years from now?"

Lupine said gently: "At least when the four founders established Hogwarts, they must have great and pure ideals. We also studied here and gained a lot here."

His calmness was like warm water, calming down the resentment and anger in Sirius's heart.

"Let's step back a little bit," Dumbledore said. "The next scene may not look good."

Several people retreated to the edge of the cave and saw Dumbledore pointing his wand at the locket on the ground and making a "hiss" sound.

"Open?" Harry said in surprise.

"Parseltongue?" The two adult wizards were even more shocked.

"I think Dumbledore had already mastered the pronunciation of this sentence when Harry opened the Chamber of Secrets last time." Vader explained.

While he was talking, the locket on the ground had been opened, and a disembodied figure rose from the box, gradually forming the figure of a girl.

"Why did you do this to me? Why did you kill me? Did I do something wrong?"

Vader and others all saw that Dumbledore's originally calm back suddenly became haggard, and his hand holding the wand was shaking.

Sirius and the others looked at Dumbledore in surprise and then at the girl, not understanding what was happening.

The girl cried plaintively in a voice as loud as tears. Those red eyes looked very strange and evil, with twisted resentment on their face.

"You know...it was you who did it...you know what you did...you are the same as that person, right, Albus? You and Ge..."

"Split into pieces!"

Vader cast a spell without thinking, and the girl's figure was immediately scattered, but immediately condensed.

This time, she turned into a blond boy and said in a bewitching voice: "I see your heart, Dumbledore... you really know what..."

Before he could finish his words, Dumbledore suddenly waved his wand!

A very ancient spell echoed in the cave, and with a "pop" sound, blue-white flames suddenly rose, and the figure was swept in in an instant.

Vader and the others only heard a very short scream - so short that it was like an illusion, and the figure disappeared like a popped soap bubble.

As if it never existed at all.

After a few seconds, the flames finally disappeared, and Slytherin's locket had completely changed its appearance——

The colorful silk lining and the gems on it were burned completely, leaving only a ball of golden-red molten iron on the ground, which then slowly turned into a black color.

A strange atmosphere made several young people afraid to speak.

After a moment, Kreacher seemed to finally react, throwing himself on the ground and crying loudly. The shrill cries echoed in the empty cave, making the place seem even more terrifying.

Sirius finally came to his senses. He had no intention of exploring what happened to the figure just now. He just lowered his head to look at the portrait held in his arms.

He only saw a piece of clothing.

Regulus walked out of his portrait and went somewhere unknown.

——Even if he is a portrait, he may need a quiet place...

Sirius thought so, and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.

Dumbledore came back, looking no different from before.

"Professor..." Harry mustered up the courage to ask, "That one just now..."

"It's just Tom's way of confusing people." Dumbledore said calmly: "I have to say, he does have a way of provoking people."

Somehow, Harry, who was originally dull, suddenly realized that he shouldn't ask any more questions.

"The locket has been destroyed. Regulus in another world must be able to feel some comfort if he knows about it."

Dumbledore finally showed a gentle smile and said: "You should take the children back first - there may be some Inferi that have not been cleared away in this place."

"Yes, Professor."

Sirius and Lupine responded obediently like students still studying.

"Let's go!"

Sirius took Harry in his arms and led him out of the cave.

They had to leave the cave first, and then they could Apparate home.

"Vade, let's go too." Lupine stretched out his hand and said.

"You go first." Vader said, "I still have something to tell Professor Dumbledore."

Lupine glanced at him, and seeing that Dumbledore had no objection, he nodded and said, "Okay."

He picked up Kreacher, who was still crying on the ground, and left the cave as well.

Dumbledore took off his glasses, rubbed his brows, and had some guesses about why Wade stayed.

"Wade, do you want to ask about the spell just now? I can understand your eagerness to learn, but this is still too dangerous for you... Although it is not black magic, it is much more dangerous than the Fiery Curse..."

He might be in a bad mood, and he was subconsciously a little long-winded.

"Professor." Wade interrupted him and said softly: "That thing... I have another one in my hand."

"What is it?"

Dumbledore didn't react for a while.

Wade didn't explain immediately. He looked at the other party and knew that the headmaster would understand soon.

Sure enough, after a while, Dumbledore knew what Wade was talking about. He slowly opened his eyes, and his blue eyes looked extremely complicated for a while.

It was not just shock, nor was it surprise...

The countless emotions that could not be distinguished seemed to tear off the disguise in an instant, reflecting the green light in the cave, so complicated that Wade even felt a chill.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but when his feet moved slightly, Wade controlled himself not to retreat.

He held his breath and looked directly at the other person.

After a few breaths, Dumbledore finally whispered: "You have... another Horcrux in your hand?"

"It's incredible, isn't it?" Wade smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "But I do have one."
