After some whirling, Fish stepped on the ground again, he twitched his nose slightly, and immediately showed a disgusted expression.
After simply scanning the surroundings, Maomao recognized that the main venue of this memory was in the old Gaunt house again.
However, compared to the memory of the first time I came to Gaunt's old house, this time the Gaunt's old house is simply indescribably filthy. There are thick cobwebs on the ceiling, the ground is dark, and there are moldy food and a pile of rusty pots on the table.
Moreover, there was a sour smell and a strong smell of alcohol in the air, which made Fisch, who had a keen sense of smell, subconsciously cover his nose.
Thanks to the fact that this is just a memory, otherwise Phaedo would probably go berserk again.
A man with long hair and beard covering his eyes and mouth was sitting on an old and dirty armchair. At his feet, there were many messy empty wine bottles piled up in disorder. There was a faltering candle, the only source of light in the room.
The man on the chair had his head drooped and his limbs relaxed, as if he was dead, but Fish confirmed through his slight breathing and slightly heaving chest that this man was just sleeping, or drunk.
From the smell of alcohol and sourness on his body, Fish could barely recognize that he was the man named Morfin Gaunt in the last memory, and also Voldemort's uncle.
When Hermione and the others also entered this memory, there was a heavy knock on the door immediately. Morfin on the chair was shaken and woke up. He raised his wand in his right hand and a short knife in his left.
The door creaked open, and the boy Voldemort walked in, holding an old-fashioned oil lamp in his hand.
After Morfin recognized Voldemort's appearance with sleepy eyes, he stood up staggeringly, and the empty wine bottle at his feet was tumbling and clinking.
"You!" he roared, "You!"
Morfin, who mistook Voldemort for his father, jumped on him drunkenly, wand and dagger raised high.
However, following Voldemort's "Stop", Morfin staggered to a halt, and stared at him with wide-eyed eyes.
The two looked at each other for a long time before they resumed communicating in the old snake accent.
Under Harry's translation, Fish and others watched Voldemort extract his own life experience from Morfin's mouth, as well as the current situation of several of his relatives.
Then, an abnormal darkness struck, engulfing everything.
This time, Dumbledore and Fish didn't need to take the initiative to take the others away. After the darkness swallowed everything, they naturally soared into the sky and flew back to reality.
"That's all?" Harry asked immediately, "Why did it go dark all of a sudden, and what happened?"
"Because Morfin can't remember what happened after that." Dumbledore beckoned everyone to sit down, "When he woke up the next morning, he was lying on the ground alone, and Marvolo's ring was gone. Meanwhile, In the village of Little Hangleton, old Tom Riddle and his parents died in their big house without any marks on their bodies."
"Avada Kedavra" Hermione murmured.
"Yes, Avada Kedavra generally doesn't leave any scarsthe only exception is sitting in front of me." Dumbledore nodded at Harry's scar, and continued: "The Ministry of Magic will know immediately Wizards. They also knew of a Muggle-hater who lived across the street from the Riddles, and who had been in prison for attacking one of the victims in this case."
"So the Ministry of Magic found Morfin. No interrogation, no Veritaserum or Legilimency was used. He confessed immediately, provided details that only the murderer knew, and said that he was proud of killing those Muggles. Said he'd been waiting for this opportunity for years"
"Voldemort stole Morfin's wand and killed people with it?" Harry said, sitting up straight.
This is not such a difficult truth to guess.
Although according to Dumbledore, Morfin waited for the opportunity to act,
However, for a wizard, it is always an opportunity to harm Muggles, and Morfin has not concealed his thoughts at all, so as long as you think about this statement carefully, you will find loopholes everywhere.
But unfortunately, the ability of the English Ministry of Magic to handle affairs has been a mess decades ago. In other words, the Ministry of Magic at that time, like the Ministry of Magic now, was used to turning a blind eye to some doubts, and just wanted to settle the case as soon as possible and whitewash the peace.
"So, it's the same old question, what do you find in this memory?What clue? Dumbledore asked, raising his palms up, "Please give Harry and Mr. Weiss a chance to show off, Hermione. "
Hermione, who was about to speak, closed her mouth resentfully.
"That ring" Harry said coldly.
After knowing that Marvolo's ring was made into a horcrux, and making a horcrux requires a human life, he immediately had a terrible guess
"Voldemort used his father's death to turn that ring into a Horcrux."
"I'm not sure," Dumbledore sighed, "but it's not impossible. At the same time, I also used this clue to find Gaunt's old house and get the ring inside."
He took out a black gemstone from his pocket and put it on the table. It was the gemstone inlaid on the Gaunt family ring.
Then Dumbledore raised up the scorched index finger of his right hand, waved it in front of Fish and the others, and said, "As a result, I was careless for a while, and I was plotted by the spell left on it by Voldemort."
Without even thinking about it, Fisher reached out and picked up the black gemstone, put it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully, only to see that the gemstone was covered with cobweb-like cracks, but among these cracks, one could still be identified by a vertical stone. Pattern made of lines, circles and triangles.
"Put it down!"
Because the cat's speed was too fast, Hermione was stunned for a while before she realized it. She screamed and reached out to pat the gemstone in Fish's hand, trying to knock it out of the cat's hand.
It's just that with Fisch's reaction speed, it is naturally impossible to be easily shot. He quickly raised the gem above his head, making Hermione miss the shot.
"What are you doing, Hermione?"
?w?
Fish frowned, looking at Hermione who suddenly waved over.
"Don't worry, Hermione, the spell on it has already been lifted by me." Dumbledore said cheerfully: "If there is danger, uu read a book<a href="<a href="http:/ /www.uukanshu.com"" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com"</a> target="_blank"><a href="http://www.uukanshu.com< ;/a>" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a></a> I can't just put it in front of you like this."
Only then did Hermione come to her senses, "Sorry, Professor Dumbledore" She quickly apologized with a smirk.
Although his behavior just now was caused by concern, it was also a manifestation of his distrust of Dumbledore.
Dumbledore naturally wouldn't blame Hermione for this, he smiled and waved his hands, then turned his gaze to Fish, with a little hesitation in his expression, but also a hint of expectation.
After Maomao found out that Hermione was no longer planning to grab the gem in her hand, she immediately put her arm down and continued to look through it.
Dumbledore kept staring at Fish, and wanted to ask for the Resurrection Stone back several times, but stopped abruptly.
It wasn't until he saw that Fish had accidentally put the resurrection stone in his hand and turned it three times, but still nothing happened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help asking: "Did you find anything? Why did you Playing with it all the time?"
"Fisch doesn't know meow"
(??w??)?
Maomao scratched the back of its head, and said with a meowing face: "This stone gives Fish a feeling of closeness and disgust, and Fish doesn't know why"
After speaking, he looked at the "black stone" in his hand over and over for a long time, then pointed it at the light for a long time, took out his wand and tapped it, and grabbed it and tapped it on the corner of the table a few times results in no response.
"Meow!"
Fisch, who was becoming increasingly irritable, finally lost his patience. Before the others could react, he grabbed this inexplicable black gemstone and stuffed it into his mouth, and then bit down hard.
