The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 641 Birthday and Gifts



Ada was the first to leave the Burrow and head towards Stoat Mountain, followed by Hermione and her two weaklings who were confused.

The young trio were a little confused. They really couldn't figure out what kind of gift couldn't be displayed at the Burrow, so they had to go to Stoat Mountain mysteriously?

In addition, Albus Dumbledore's will is also haunting them.

What secrets are hidden in The Golden Snitch?In addition to the basic function of turning off the lights, does the light extinguisher have any other functions?There is also "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", which Hermione and Harry had never heard of before.

This is a collection of fairy tales, equivalent to the "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales" in the wizarding world. Naturally, Hermione and Harry, who grew up in the Muggle world, have never heard of it.

If Ada hadn't read a wide range of books, she wouldn't be as familiar with the stories as Ron.

When the four of them reached the shelter of Stoat Mountain, Ada finally stopped. This place was hidden from the wind, and even if she set a fire, it would not be seen by others.

Harry was finally able to clear up the doubts in his heart. He asked hurriedly: "Ada, why do we come here?"

"Of course it's to give you a birthday gift." Ada said matter-of-factly, "RAB, he is my birthday gift to you."

When Harry heard the name, he was so happy that he walked lightly.Ron and Hermione beside him were also extremely surprised. The three of them asked in unison: "Who is he? We have been looking for it for a long time and still haven't found it!"

"Far away in the horizon, close before our eyes. He is someone we should have noticed a long time ago but ignored." Ada sighed, "Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius's younger brother."

"He has been dead for many years. I heard Sirius mention it." Harry said loudly, "But isn't he a Death Eater?"

Ada opened her handbag again and took out the locket hidden in the bag.

She continued: "Regulus used to be a Death Eater, but who didn't do a few wrong things when he was young! Fortunately, he woke up in time, broke away from this dark organization before his death, and took away the Si Lytlin’s Locket.”

"You mean Regulus Black stole Voldemort—"

"Hush!" Ada interrupted Harry, preventing him from saying the name Voldemort, "Don't say his name casually."

The three Harrys were confused again. They didn't understand why Ada suddenly became timid.Harry asked: "Why? Dumbledore also calls him by his name, and you did too before."

"Dumbledore and I can beat him, who among the three of you can do it?" Ada asked.With one fatal word, Harry, Ron, and Hermione fell silent.

Ada handed the locket to Harry and continued: "His name is enchanted. If you call his name, he will know your approximate location and find you. Bravery is a good thing, But distinguish between what is brave and what is reckless.”

"Besides, does calling his name prove that you are braver than others?"

Saying Voldemort's name does require courage that ordinary people don't have, but it also requires facing more dangers.Courage without the ability to cope with the risks that come with it is foolish recklessness.

Harry remained silent, stroking the locket in his hand.

Although he is a little reckless and stubborn, most of the time he can still listen to other people's suggestions.The reason why he didn't speak was because he thought of Dumbledore again.

Dumbledore died because of the fake locket (Harry always thought so), but the real locket was actually with them, and they even threw the locket away as trash.

Hearing Regulus Black's name and remembering who he was, memories of No. 12 Grimmauld Place came flooding back.

Not only Harry, but Hermione and Ron also thought of the glass cabinet in the living room.Harry and the three of them had seen this locket a long time ago. It was in the glass cabinet among a bunch of dark magic objects.

"What should we do now, destroy it?" Hermione asked. She already knew what a Horcrux was from Harry, but neither Harry nor she knew how to destroy it.

In other words, they thought of the method of destroying Horcruxes too complicatedly.

After all, magical items like Horcruxes can resurrect Voldemort and make him live forever. They are not introduced in dark magic masterpieces such as "The Poisonous Magic". Naturally, the three of Harry thought about Horcruxes in a very complicated way.

In fact, the method of destroying a Horcrux is surprisingly simple, requiring only a Fire Spell.

Ada opened her handbag for the third time and took out a small wooden box. In the box were the basilisk fangs she had prepared in advance.The venom of the basilisk can corrode the Horcrux, which is easier than the Fire Curse.

"Open it and stab it with the basilisk's fangs. It's that simple." Ada held the fangs in her backhand as if she were holding a sharp saber. "Which one of you three will come?"

The young trio looked at each other for a few times, and after a brief exchange of glances, Harry reached out and took the fang, and the task of destroying the locket fell on him.

Holding the locket in his left hand and the basilisk fang in his right hand, Harry took a few steps toward the distance, his steps a little heavy.

Putting the locket on the ground, Harry, who was half-crouched, held the fangs in his backhand and cleared his throat.Harry narrowed his eyes and hissed in Parseltongue, and the small golden lid of the locket popped open with a click.

There was a living eye blinking behind each of the two small glass windows, black and bright, just like Tom Riddle's eyeball before it turned red and the pupil turned into a line.

All it would take for Harry to let his fangs pierce the locket and destroy those black eyes was to end everything.

However, Horcrux is the carrier of Voldemort's soul fragments. It is evil and good at deceiving people. How could it be willing to be destroyed so easily?The black eyes began to rotate at high speed, much like Moody's blue magic eyes.

The dark eyes in the Horcrux are peering into Harry's inner world, trying to find his inner demons so as to prevent him from destroying himself.

The vision in the locket could not be seen by Ada and the other two people in the distance. They could only see Harry raising his fangs above his head, his hands trembling slightly, and he delayed stabbing at the locket.

The fingers holding the fangs moved. Harry's hands stopped shaking. He was ready.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the Horcrux, with a heart-stopping hissing sound.The Horcrux changed its target and began to confuse the three Ada people in the distance, hoping that these three people would rush forward to stop Harry.

"I see your heart, Esmeralda Drizzt. I see your true thoughts. Are you really willing to follow Dumbledore's orders? Look at this boy, he is reckless, he is stupid, he You are arrogant and arrogant. He is inferior to you in everything, but he is the savior and the 'Boy Who Lived'. Are you really willing to do that?"

This is what Ada heard. Not only was she not bewitched by the words, she actually wanted to laugh.

Whether Harry is the Son of Prophecy or the Star of Savior, that is all Harry in the eyes of others and has nothing to do with Ada.

In Ada's eyes, Harry is her stupid junior, the friend of her stupid brother Ron, and the boyfriend of her stupid sister Ginny.Harry is Harry and only Harry.

Looking sideways at the people around her, Hermione seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, her lips pressed into a tight line, and tears welled up in her eyes.Ron didn't shed tears, his face turned into a fan shape.Half of him was mad and hateful, as if he wanted to rush forward and knock Harry down with a punch; the other half was twisted into a ball, struggling not to move.

At this moment, Harry's raised hands suddenly fell down, and the basilisk fangs stabbed the locket!

A black, substance-like mist rushed out of the locket, and Tom Riddle's ferocious face could be faintly seen in the mist.Harry was suddenly overcome by the fog and his glasses fell off. He stretched out his hand and groped helplessly on the ground.

As we all know, when myopia reaches a certain level, myopic people who take off their glasses are no different from being blind.

After waking up, Ron rushed over in three steps and two steps, dragging his best friend away from the black fog.Hermione also raised her wand, and Harry's glasses flew into her hand.

With a roar of unwillingness, pain, and resentment, the evil and ominous black mist was blown away by the wind in the mountains, leaving only the tattered locket.

Voldemort's Horcrux is missing again.
