After spinning around for a while, Fish stood on a country road, with tall hedges with tangled branches and leaves on both sides, and a clear blue sky above his head. The sun was very strong, and the time should be summer.
About ten paces ahead stood a squat man wearing a pair of glasses with extra thick lenses, who was strangely dressed: a striped bathing suit over a frock coat , with shoe covers on her feet
Obviously this is another wizard who doesn't know much about the Muggle world and has no interest in learning about it.
Fish, who had used the Pensieve to look at other people's memories many times, knew that this person must be the Bob Ogden that Dumbledore said, that is, the owner of this memory.
So he slithered forward and looked at the wooden signpost that Ogden was looking at.
There are two directional arrows on the road sign, one reads: Great Hangleton, 5 miles. Another read: Little Hangleton, 1 mile.
Mao Mao, who has a good memory, thought for a while, and immediately remembered where this place was The place where he and Harry were teleported by Little Barty with the Portkey was called Hangleton. Nepe asked.
At this time, Hermione and the others also entered Ogden's memory, and Fish immediately greeted them.
"Albus, is this man going to Voldemort's house?"
?w?
"Why do you think so?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"Because the street sign over there says Hangleton, Voldemort's father's grave should be nearby meow" Maomao looked around while talking. "But Fish hasn't found that cemetery yet."
"It's useless even if you find it, because old Tom Riddle is still alive at this time," Dumbledore led the three to catch up with Ogden, and explained: "To be precise, Voldemort is still dead at this time." Not born."
Not only Fish, but even Harry and Hermione were lost.
"Then what's the use of this memory, professor?" Harry asked suspiciously: "Voldemort hasn't even been born yet, so there must be no clues about his Horcrux at this time."
"Don't be so absolute, Harry." Dumbledore shook his black index finger and said, "Just watch quietly, after reading Bob's memories, we will have plenty of time to discuss slowly." .¡±
So both Fish and Harry shut their mouths, followed Ogden through the remote path, and came to a dark forest, where Dumbledore got the Resurrection Stone from Gaunt's old house.
Compared with the crumbling dilapidated house more than eighty years later, the Gunter family is not much better today.
The walls were covered with moss, and many of the roof tiles had fallen off, showing here and there the rafters within. Nettles grew thickly all around the house, reaching up to the windows, which were very small and thick with old grime.
And on the door of this house, there was a dead snake nailed to it.
While Hermione and Harry were watching Ogden, Fish looked up.
When viewing other people's memories with a Pensieve, the surrounding sounds and smells are also reproduced, even if the owner of the memory cannot notice these sounds or smells.
So Fish immediately spotted the man in tattered clothes who was sitting on the branch of a nearby tree.
The man jumped from the tree and landed in front of Ogden, startling him.
"Hiss" Morfin Gaunt sounded the alarm to Ogden in his old tongue.
And after being reminded by Fish, Harry dutifully acted as an interpreter.
Then, following Ogden's memory, they saw Morfin who didn't seem to speak English, Merope who was obedient, and old Gaunt, who was grumpy and proud of his blood to the point of blind arrogance.
It is also known that they are descendants of Slytherin and Peverell. As for the other blood Peverell mentioned by old Gaunt, even Hermione, who had searched the library, didn't know who it was.
Harry looked at Merope, who was beaten and scolded by old Gaunt at will, but didn't dare to resist, and felt a little empathetic His previous treatment at the Dursleys' house was not much better than hers.
Just when Ogden solemnly notified Morfin of the trial time, two young Muggles, a man and a woman, chatted and laughed outside the door. According to the communication between the two of them, Fish and the others knew that the man was also named Tom.
"That's right," Dumbledore noticed the gazes from Fish and the others, and nodded with a smile, "That's Voldemort's father, old Tom Reed when he was young.?? shook his head with a little regret, and said: "It's a pity that I couldn't find the locket on Merope's neck, and I don't even have a clue, but it was probably made by Voldemort." Horcruxes."
"How many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?!" Hermione screamed.
"I don't know," Dumbledore sighed, and said, "This is the question I most want to confirm now."
"What's so difficult about this?"
(??w??)?
Fish finally raised his head from the snacks, and said puzzledly: "Just go and capture Voldemort, and then give him Veritaserum, wouldn't it be fine? Didn't Severus have a potion for distraction, which can make the brain Does the Occlumency fail? It's the kind Sirius once drank."
Dumbledore froze for a moment, he seemed to have never considered such a direct and brutal method, but after being dazed for a while, he shook his head again and said, "I want to catch Voldemort and make him fight without any resistance." The feasibility of drinking Veritaserum and the Mind Loss Potion is too low, and with his attainments in Occlumency, Severus' Mind Loss Potion may not be effective either."
"It never hurts to try."
(?`w¡ä?)
Mao Mao still insisted on his plan.
Dumbledore didn't argue with him, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it later when Voldemort doesn't plan to hide." He looked at the wall clock on the wall, "Come here tonight, next time there will be a new one." The story is over, I will let Fish inform you again."
