Capítulo 167: The Dangerous Gaunt Shack
People in the wizarding world may never think of it.
As one of the Founders of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin's descendants would actually be so impoverished.
Looking at the half-collapsed shed in front of him, Lucas drew out his wand and walked in cautiously.
It is here that 16-year-old Tom Riddle got his resurrection stone ring.
What his good friend Tommy didn't know is that he had just gotten one of the Deathly Hallows.
He'd always thought the ring was just a Slytherin relic for posterity.
Lucas pushed open the dusty, decayed wooden door.
Just as he stepped in, suddenly, a flame ignited from inside the door.
In the blink of an eye, the door was covered by Fiendfyre. Fortunately, Lucas used Void Escape in advance.
"It is said that Gaunt's ring is protected by heavy black magic. I thought it was a lot of black magic applied to the ring, but I didn't expect there to even be a trap at the entrance!"
Lucas extinguished the Fiendfyre on the door.
After careful observation, it turned out that the trap set by Voldemort was rather ingenious.
Although Fiendfyre is attached to the wooden door, it will not damage the door itself.
This also allows the Fiendfyre Curse on the door to work repeatedly.
It is not known how many thieves or people who entered by mistake were burned to ashes.
Going deeper, the situation within the Gaunt family gradually emerged before Lucas' eyes.
Tattered wardrobe and round table.
Collapsed dilapidated sofas and wooden chairs.
Everything here is the same as in a Common Muggle home.
Because of the generations of their descendants wasting their money, the Gaunt family has nothing of value.
Probably the most valuable item is the Ring, which was made into a Horcrux. There was also Slytherin's Locket that was sold for almost nothing by Merope Gaunt, Voldemort's mother.
Lucas walked along the ruined wall and finally came to the deepest room.
Here the traces of magic were the heaviest. If he guessed correctly, the Gaunt's ring should be hidden here.
Accompanied by killing curses, splitting curses, blood boiling curses, bone breakers, entrails expelling curses, poisons, snakes and other attacks.
Lucas finally found the rough Gaunt ring under the floorboards.
[Wear it, you can get everything by wearing it, power, love, money, power…]
A seductive voice appeared in Lucas' mind.
When he used his full-level Occlumency, Lucas's eyes immediately became hollow.
"I didn't expect the black magic on this ring to be so powerful."
Feeling grateful, Lucas reached out his wand and fiddled with the ring and paid close attention to the black gem on top.
Seeing the Peverell crest on the black stone, Lucas showed a satisfied smile.
"Finally found the resurrection stone."
Although the resurrection stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, was found, Lucas didn't pick it up yet.
Not because of the black magic in the ring.
With the power of anti-magic, Lucas can easily break the black magic around him.
The reason why he didn't destroy it all the way is that he was planning to use this Horcrux ring to plot against Dumbledore.
Lucas likes to let people do things according to his own plans.
But the existence of Dumbledore made it impossible for Lucas to command the overall situation, but the ultimate achievement doesn't allow Dumbledore to die.
Then there is only one way.
Seize the dominance, with Lucas as the main player and Dumbledore as the assistant. This Horcrux ring is the beginning of the seizure of power.
The wand flipped through Lucas' fingers.
Thinking for a long time, he waved his wand and wrote a sentence around the ring.
Spell text, the magic that is most suitable for setting traps.
Not just around the ring, Lucas also wrote some text on the ring.
After doing all this, he turned to look at the dilapidated house.
"Although it's a bit broken, let's apply an anti-apparition and anti-portkey ward."
After all, the wand began to write the rules on one side of the wall.
Absolute rules set by the spell text magic, not even Dumbledore could break the restrictions here with the Elder Wand.
"Dumbledore, I wish you would come soon."
Lucas returned the same way.
When he returned to the gate of the Gaunt family's old house, he swung his wand again and wrote another paragraph.
Confirming that there are no omissions, Lucas waved his hand.
No matter whether it was inside or outside the house, all the words of the spells disappeared.
…
Harry had already walked a lot in the castle.
Since there is no clue of Sirius, he could only search randomly.
Of course, Harry also thought about asking for help, but there is only one invisibility cloak.
And he has many friends in Gryffindor, though probably only Ron is willing to help and well…Ron is Ron.
"Oh, it's too bad, I was almost caught by the idiot Baron, but luckily Master Peeves is smart."
Peeves' voice came from the passage ahead. Harry's eyes lit up, and he walked over quietly.
At this moment, Peeves was sitting cross-legged in the air, as if he was resting.
"Peeves!"
"Who is it?"
Peeves turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A few seconds passed when he suddenly pointed to the air in front of him and said: "Harry Potty, I know it's you, come out quickly."
Looking at Peeves' distraught look, Harry scratched his head, but took off the cloak anyway.
"How did you know I was hiding here?"
Seeing the little devil's spawn face full of doubts, Peeves said proudly: "Of course, your father often went out at night wearing that invisibility cloak as well."
"You knew my father?" Harry asked excitedly.
Peeves seemed to be remembering the past and his face became very ugly.
But when it saw the longing on Potty's face, the mischievous poltergeist immediately raised a smile.
"Of course, you want to know about James Potter and Lily Evans?"
Seeing Harry nodding, Peeves beckoned, "Follow me!"
…
Bathroom on the second floor.
Coming here again, Harry recalled his experience in the Chamber of Secrets last year.
Seeing him distracted, Peeves didn't bother him.
After a few minutes, Harry woke up from his own memories.
"What kind of man was my father?"
Peeves grinned and said with a nasty smile: "Your father, James Potter, was a complete bastard!"
Harry didn't expect the answer to be like this.
After being dazed for a few seconds, he shouted sharply: "Impossible, you're lying to me!"
Peeves just gave him a glance, then he started making a list of all the bad things that James Potter led the Marauders to do.
It had been about half an hour or so before Peeves stopped.
Looking at Harry with a broken expression in front of him, he showed a kind smile: "Oh~ Mr. Potter, are you okay?"
"What you said can't be true, my father wasn't like that!"
After speaking, Harry turned around and ran out.
Not long after he ran out of the bathroom, he ran head-on into Professor Snape, who was on his night watch.
"Oh~ let me see, isn't this the famous Mr. Potter."
"On the day after the school break-in, the daring Mr Potter decided it would be fun to go out on a night tour."
Professor Snape pointed his wand at Harry's hands, and seeing the familiar invisibility cloak, he sneered disdainfully.
"Harry Potter, violated the school's prohibition and went out at night without permission. I will deduct 10 points from Gryffindor."
"Sorry, Professor!"
Professor Snape looked at the boy in surprise.
If it's not night, he wants to see if the sun is rising from the wrong side.
The famous Harry Potter actually said sorry to his most hated professor?
Just when Professor Snape felt strange, Professor Lupin's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Harry? Didn't I ask you to come to my office? Why are you here?"
Turning to look behind him, Professor Snape put away the surprise in his eyes and put on a mocking expression.
"Professor Lupin, are you having a stroll under the moonlight?"
Snape wouldn't be himself if he didn't deliver some verbal damage.
Professor Lupin's face became a little unnatural, but he still grabbed Harry's shoulders.
"It was I who asked Harry to help organize the teaching materials, I'm sorry for not explaining in advance, Severus."
"snort~!"
Snape held up his wand, and the fluorescent light on the top waved twice in front of the two of them.
"It doesn't matter!" After saying that, he turned around and walked to his office.
According to Professor Snape, Harry had Lupin by his side, so there shouldn't be any danger.
On the way back to the tower of Gryffindor, Lupin looked at the boy beside him.
"Harry, what's wrong with you? Why the long face?"
Harry gave him a complicated look.
"Professor, what kind of person was my father?"
Lupin frowned: "Why do you ask so suddenly?"
"Peeves said that my father did a lot of bad things back then, and he caused headaches for the professors."
"Also, he formed a group called the Marauders, who specialize in bullying others, including Snape."
"Professor, do you know about this?"
Lupin pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't Peeves tell you about the rest of the Marauder Squad?"
Seeing Harry shake his head, Lupin breathed a sigh of relief.
"Harry, your father was indeed naughty in the past, but only naughty."
"Besides, Peeves' words are not trustworthy. Back then, your father used the invisibility cloak to tease him a lot. I think he said this on purpose to annoy you."
"As for Snape, you also know that the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin was very tense back then because of You-Know-Who."
"So some daily friction is inevitable, Harry, your father was a good person, and so are you."
After Lupin finished speaking, the two had arrived at the entrance of the Gryffindor common room on the third floor.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to sleep."
"Good night, Professor."
Not sure if Harry listened to what he had to say though.
…
In a blink of an eye, the next day came.
Lucas arrived at the potions office early in the morning.
As soon as he opened the door he told Professor Snape: "It's time to start."
Professor Snape looked normal, just nodded slightly, turned and left the office.
