255. Cave Tour
Although Adair never treated people as human beings, Sirius still had a big argument with him over the storage of the locket - obviously it could be solved safely by locking it in a cupboard and applying some defensive magic. For such a trivial matter, this guy deliberately used such a dangerous method, which was beyond the scope of training.
But Sirius's protest had no effect. Even if he could protect Harry and others from touching the Horcrux, Elaine was still forced to hang the locket, even if Daphne volunteered to take her place.
The sleeping person - or should I say the person named Shafiq - has no human rights.
Having said that, the influence of the locket Horcrux is indeed not as significant as that of the diary.
It may be that the time is too short, or there has been a lack of magic power supply in the past, or it may be related to the different production concepts of the two; Voldemort made the diary with the intention of controlling the students to clean up Hogwarts, and the locket is the orthodox soul. He had it in his possession, and he had no intention of letting it fall into the hands of others.
Besides, how could Elaine, who is tied to Adair every day, not be resistant to Horcruxes?
She slept very comfortably while holding the worried Daphne. She didn't realize that there was anything on her neck at all, and she slept without any dreams until dawn.
This also gave Harry and others the illusion that it was no big deal and they tried to wear it.
As a result, after three weeks, except for Elaine, Harry, Hermione, Daphne and Ron were not in good spirits, and Harry and Ron were in particularly serious condition.
Fortunately, it is shared among five people, so the actual holding time is not much.
"This thing gave me nightmares for days." Ron breathed a huge sigh of relief as Dumbledore took the locket from him. "Now it's finally over."
In the end, Harry and others still didn't find that wearing Horcruxes had any effect. Apart from making them vulnerable, anxious, irritable, and depressed, they could only be attributed to Adair's bad taste.
Anyway, with the visit of Dumbledore and Slughorn, it all comes to an end.
"Then, let's set off." Dumbledore pulled out his wand and said to everyone, "Due to the large number of people, we will go in two groups. The girls will go with me. Sirius, you and Kreacher will take the boys to Hogwarts." Lars, you can keep up on your own."
Different from the original two-person adventure with only Dumbledore and Harry, this time Kreacher, Sirius, Hermione, Ron, Daphne, Elaine, and even Slughorn will all go together to visit Voldemort's layout. Although Harry was excited, Hermione still had doubts about having so many people together.
She believed that the Dark Lord would definitely set restrictions, and it would be bad if too many people went there.
Elaine just smiled at this, yes, Voldemort must have arrangements, such as that small boat that is limited to one person.
The problem is that her magic power is too chaotic and too much. As long as she goes there, hundreds of wizards will enter, and the ban will be triggered 100% of the time.
In this case, if a few people are the same, then Mang will be right.
Tell her not to go and stop joking. If she doesn't take part in such an interesting thing, the audience in the live broadcast room will definitely go crazy.
"I still know the traveling shadow technique." Slughorn looked a little uneasy, his face was covered with oil and sweat, he took out a delicate handkerchief and wiped it. "But okay, go and come back quickly."
"Professor, do you know where that place is?" Harry asked in shock.
"Yes, unlike you, Elaine and I have already investigated Voldemort's past." Dumbledore replied with a smile, "We have already mastered the hiding spots of all Horcruxes, but we have never had the time. Of course, there are also people who want to use this to grind The point of training you is that Adair and I have similar views on this. Only in real danger can people grow."
Hermione opened her mouth as if to protest.
However, Dumbledore had already performed Apparition, and it was really difficult to speak while the ground was spinning and being compressed through space.
When everyone arrived at the location, Hermione didn't have the chance to complain.
"Shouldn't we go to a cave here, Kreacher?"
Sirius asked anxiously, because they were currently standing on a high black rock outcropping the sea, and the waves were rolling and foaming under their feet.
Elaine looked around. Behind her was a cliff, with steep rock walls falling straight down.
The large rocks beneath my feet seemed to have fallen off the face of the cliff at some time in the past.
There is nothing around, everything is desolate, except for the vast sea and rocks, there is no tree, no grass or beach.
Best of all, there aren't any caves.
"The cave is on the cliff over there, Master," Kreacher explained, pointing to the steep cliff. "Although Kreacher can go in by himself, Kreacher cannot bring others in. There is very powerful magic there. Master Regulus climbed up from here back then."
"It's probably the same anti-Apparition magic as Hogwarts, but Voldemort ignored the house elves and forgot that they can come and go freely in Hogwarts." Dumbledore chuckled. "It's very characteristic of him. He always looks down on house elves."
"There's someone in the distance." Slughorn looked around uneasily, pointing here and there with the hand holding the wand. "Why would the mysterious person choose such a place? There are traces of Muggles around. It is not a good hiding spot."
"Because this place is meaningful to him." Elaine explained lightly. "Halfway up the cliff behind, there is a small Muggle village. Voldemort came here when he was a child, before he went to Hogwarts and lived in the orphanage."
"The nannies of the orphanage brought the children to the village to let them breathe the sea air and watch the waves; and our mysterious man, the famous King Voldemort, used magic to bring his fellow orphans here. The melons couldn't get off the cliff. The surrounding waters were too dangerous and the boat couldn't get close. He proudly threatened to leave the children here."
"What a bad taste," Daphne concluded succinctly. "Also, your divination ability is really foul."
"Let's talk while walking." Dumbledore led the way forward. "This is not our destination. It would be bad if Muggles saw us."
There are many jagged grooves in the rock for stepping on, which lead down to the huge boulders half out of the sea around the cliff.
It was very dangerous to climb down the rock from here. Slughorn stared nervously and enviously at the agile skills of Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Then he watched in astonishment as Elaine took out the broomstick from her wristband, hugged Daphne and flew over at a slow speed.
"You've gone too far." Everyone except Dumbledore was speechless, but only Hermione directly accused Elaine. "What if someone sees me? Professor Slughorn said that there are people around──"
"It's okay, I covered it up." Elaine pointed to the surroundings. From the beginning, the fog quietly filled the surroundings. "Muggle-killing spells, hints and fog blocking, no one will notice."
"In that direction, fluorescent lights flicker"
Dumbledore went down to the giant boulder closest to the front of the cliff. After checking his surroundings, he pointed downwards with his wand and said.
A brilliant red light shimmered on the dark sea just a few feet below him, and a closer look revealed a crack hidden in the rocky cliff.
"Still so annoying, Albus." Slughorn wanted to return the broomstick to Elaine, but when he saw the position, he grabbed the broom tightly. "There are at least five concealment spells around here, but it only took you five minutes to see through the location. The mysterious man will definitely be furious."
"His hiding methods are too clumsy. The more deliberately you try to hide something, the easier it is to see through it." Dumbledore smiled. "He did use five spells, which are interlocking. Old friend, light." Tell me, didn’t you see it right away?”
