Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures
Chapter 202 Curse Reduction and Departure
Although Ivan himself would not use these black magics, the book is very informative, and the black magic contained therein inspires him a lot.
Apart from the soul apparatus and the three great unforgivable spells, the dark magic described in the book has not even been heard of by Ivan before. Now we know from this book that if Voldemort or the Death Eaters use those magic, he also knows how to crack it.
He looked over for a while and raised his head violently.
Evan suddenly remembers that now is not the time for leisure reading, Dumbledore and Sirius will be back soon, leaving little time for themselves.
They won't let themselves be exposed to this book of dark magic, especially in the book "Uncovering the Peak Dark Arts" at hand, where there is also a method of making the Horcrux.
He can't look here, he has to take away the black magic books in front of him, and when no one else is there, he's slowly studying them.
Ivan frowned and looked at the black magic books in front of him, which were really too big and too thick to carry.
The book "Uncovering the Secrets of the Peak Dark Arts" at hand alone was laborious to pick up and to take all the books away, it was simply impossible, he had to think of a way to do it.
The best course of action is the incognito extension spell, which enlarges the space and can be used on a carry-on backpack or handbag to put in what needs to be carried with you, regardless of size and weight.
But this spell is very complex and extremely difficult to use. Ivan has tried it several times before and it has not succeeded. It is even more impossible to do so in a hurry.
He thought for a while and pulled the wand out.
Since a seamless stretch spell would not work, he was prepared to use a shrink spell.
When the forbidden forest met Aragok the other day, Ivan had intended to use the spell against it, but it did not succeed.
After returning to the castle, he practiced a number of times and had fully mastered the curse.
“Zoom out fast! ”
With Ivan's words, the wand shines a blue light. The heavy, thick magic book on his knees shrunk rapidly to just half the size of his palm.
Ivan nodded with satisfaction and picked it up and looked at it. The book's current size is very pockety, but the weight hasn't changed. If it wasn't for the curse, it would be hard to believe that such a pocketful magic book would have such weight.
He put the shrunken Uncover of the Peak Dark Arts in his arms, and then picked several more books to shrink until he could no longer hold them.
Shortly after Ivan finished, Sirius returned with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore wore a long black travel cape with Slytherin's locket in his hand and an unprecedented expression on his face.
“Professor, we just heard Cliche say...”
“Regulus in that cave, we must...”
Seeing Dumbledore, Harry and Hermione rushed over and said.
Ivan also slowly walked past and stood beside Sirius, afraid to go too fast and let all the magic books in his arms fall out.
“Harry, Hermione, I know that Sirius has told me everything on the way.” While talking to Harry and Hermione about his work, Dumbledore was looking at Evan, and his pale blue eyes filled with the meaning of scrutiny, and he slowly said, "To be honest, I really didn't expect you to find and destroy this thing! ”
“Just a coincidence, the Slytherin crest on this pendant box was so eye-catching, I was curious to pick it up and take a look, I didn't think...”
“And then you happen to have Snake Monster's teeth on you. What a surprising coincidence, Evan.” Dumbledore returned the pendant box to Ivan, "but I must thank you, because of all the coincidences and efforts you have made, this pendant box has been destroyed so completely that what is inside has completely disappeared. ”
Ivan took a half-step back and hung the pendant box around his neck.
Looking at Dumbledore's wrinkled face, he wasn't sure if he'd noticed anything. With Dumbledore's eyes on him, Ivan had a feeling of nowhere to be shaped and all the secrets known.
Others did not say that he seemed to have seen the dark magic books hidden in his arms.
“I don't understand, Professor!” Harry's expression was confusing, and neither he nor Hermione understood what Dumbledore was saying to Ivan, "What was this pendant box, why did Voldemort hide it and Regulus secretly replace it? ”
“Like last year's diary, this is a piece of dark magic made by Tom Riddle himself, very evil and very critical. Tom Riddle probably never thought Regulus would take it out of the cave in front of him.” Dumbledore seems to have a slight disappointment in his tone, "he must have blind confidence in his defensive magic and did not expect Cliche to leave the cave. But that's what he used to be, and he never wanted to know about it. ”
“Professor, what exactly is this pendant box? ”
“If I'm not mistaken, it should be a Horcrux. ”
“Horcrux?! ”
The look on Harry's face was even more confusing, and he turned his head and looked at Hermione beside him.
Hermione shook her head and she didn't even know what the Horcrux was until she had heard of it.
Unlike the two of them, Ivan had a full face of surprise and did not expect Dumbledore to say it directly, which he thought would be confidential.
It appears that after seeing Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket, Dumbledore has confirmed that Voldemort is making the Horcrux. Or he had a new plan before he could tell them about it.
As for Sirius, after hearing Dumbledore's words, the expression on his face suddenly turned pale. Although he had guessed about the pendant box before, he never imagined that it would actually be a Horcrux.
Sirius has heard of this ancient and evil magic.
Even if it is equally unclear what the specific purpose of the appliance is, there is no doubt that this is very important.
No wonder Regulus would rather lose his life than steal it from Voldemort.
He was proud of Regulus when he thought about what his brother had done, Sirius, who had been trapped in grief, had risen indefinitely deep in his heart.
“Professor...” Harry continued, wondering what the Horcrux was.
But Dumbledore didn't seem to want to answer that question, and he looked down at Cliche and continued, "I just heard Sirius say that this pendant box was hidden in a cave by Tom Riddle, and I wanted to go to that cave and see what clues might be left there. Will you help us, Cliche? ”
“Yes, sir!” Kriche replied with a cowfroggy voice, "Kriche is willing to lead you to that cave, but Master Regulus..."
“We'll bring Regulus back.” Dumbledore looked at Cliche, "he was undoubtedly a hero and deserved the honor he deserved. ”
“Wait, Professor, we're going too!” Harry hastened to say, "What the hell is a soul apparatus without continuing to haunt it?
He was afraid to say too much and lost the opportunity to accompany Dumbledore.
“I can take you three with me.” Dumbledore looked around and restarted on Evan, "but you must promise me that you will not tell anyone, including Mr. Weasley, until I agree to keep this a secret. ”
Ivan nodded, Hermione hesitated for a moment and nodded along.
“Can't even Ron tell?” Harry seemed a little hesitant.
“Of course!”
They looked at Harry for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Professor! ”
“Good, I think we can go now.” Dumbledore turned around and pulled out his wand.
