Chapter 521 Looking for a Cave
Hermione immediately took out her wand.
"Clear springs are like water!"
"Whirlwind clean!"
She poured water to extinguish the burning flames, and then cleaned the dark marks on Hagrid's face.
Taking advantage of this time, McGuffin and Harry Ron explained to Hagrid why they didn't tell Hagrid about Sirius.
"Did that fellow Fudge know about it? Did he order it not to be told to anyone?"
This explanation put Hagrid in a much better mood.
After tidying up his beard, he patted the heads of these giant horses... Among them, the giant horse that ignited Hagrid's beard by breathing fire received Hagrid's warmest reception.
McGuffin could even hear the crunching and popping of the giant horse's skull.
Kill chickens and monkeys!Purely killing chickens to scare monkeys!
Under Hagrid's unconscious 'stroking', the other giant horses immediately became very obedient.
And MacGuffin and Harry finally understood where the reason for Hagrid's unique pet hobby came from.
It is indeed very 'excusable'!
In comparison, some terrifying giant monsters are indeed extremely pitiful and weak in his hands...
"Okay, Harry...see you in the auditorium later!" Hagrid said goodbye to Harry.
"McGuffin... shall we go? Is Padfoot still waiting for you in my hut?"
Higra drove the huge carriage and beckoned the MacGuffin to move towards the hut.
(At this time, McGuffin realized that the weird carriage of the Japanese wizard had disappeared from nowhere.)
…………
In the night, the air is filled with the damp and salty smell unique to the sea breeze.
McGuffin and Blake came near a certain coastline, and they came here to find Voldemort's [Horcrux].
Dumbledore did not tell the two of them the specific situation.
But McGuffin knew that Voldemort had indeed hidden one of the Horcruxes here.
"Albert, Professor Dumbledore should give you something, a piece of paper? Or something..."
The two were silent. After walking along the coast at a loss for a long time, Blake finally stopped. Looking at the moon hanging in the sky and the starry sea in the distance, he spoke hoarsely.
"Oh!"
McGuffin came to his senses and dug in his pocket for a long time, finally found the roll of paper that was a few fingers wide, and handed it to Sirius.
Black took it and stared at it for a long time with a puzzled expression on his face. Finally, he raised his wand and tapped on the note, "Appear quickly!"
"Undo the curse!"
“Cockroach Heap, Honey Lemon Cake…”
After trying to understand the curse, appearance, and some secret passwords commonly used by Dumbledore, Black had no choice but to give up.
"Albert, didn't Dumbledore tell you how to use this thing when he gave it to you?"
"No, it was Snape who gave it to me, he just said to find you when the time comes...you will lead the way." McGuffin said.
(Hearing Snape's name, Black's face was full of disgust.)
"This note... I think it should be used to point to the location of [Horcrux]. Didn't Professor Dumbledore say where exactly?"
After recalling it for a while, Black shook his head and said, "The professor said it was in a certain cave here, and he didn't know the exact location... And he just asked us to investigate, and didn't say whether we should find the [Horcrux]... This is only the first location, and the next journey will be full of dangers... We still have to go to the orphanage where the mysterious man stayed when he was a child, and the old house of the Slytherin family..."
Black was obviously a little dissatisfied with Professor Dumbledore's arrangement of himself with such a young wizard. He looked down at the halfway up the mountain in frustration...
The little village there was run-down, decaying... lifeless, and it looked like few Muggles lived there anymore.
This made Black's idea of inquiring about it completely frustrated.
"Perhaps under this cliff?" Black said to himself.
He took dozens of steps forward, and McGuffin followed suit.
They came to the top of this cliff.
Hundreds of meters below your feet...is the dark ocean,
The waves were raging, sweeping and beating against the rocks... The sound came up.
The salty sea breeze is also blowing in front of you,
Occasionally, there are one or two twinkling lights on the edge of the sky. I don't know if they are the brilliance of stars or the lights of ships.
Blake lowered his head, trying to identify from the dark sea tide, to see if there were any caves, abyss...
It's a pity that even wizards can't find anything strange from the black reefs where the tide is beating back and forth.
When Sirius pulled out his wand and wanted to jump directly to check for himself, McGuffin sighed heavily.
"Let me do it! Originally, I didn't want this..."
Did that old fellow Dumbledore expect this scene again, that's why he sent himself and Black here...to conduct an early investigation?
Does that old guy know that he has a way to find the location of [Horcrux]...
After cursing Dumbledore secretly for a long time, McGuffin decided to look for the cave.
After all, destroying [Horcruxes] and killing Voldemort is... the most important thing for him.
Black looked at the little wizard in front of him strangely. He couldn't understand why Dumbledore sent the two of them together to carry out this task.
Although this little wizard did have all sorts of strange things about him, and his strength in certain aspects seemed not much different from that of ordinary adult wizards, but Blake still subconsciously underestimated the fourth-year Hogwarts student in front of him because of his age and status.
McGuffin didn't pay attention to Black's thoughts, and he reluctantly took out a sack from the pocket of his robe that had been cast with the [Untraceable Stretch Curse].
Blake's eyes straightened immediately.
"This is!??"
Although the light was not good, he still recognized what this thing was and what its function was. Black unconsciously took two steps back, away from the McGuffin.
Sure enough, it was exactly the same as he thought.
McGuffin untied the mouth of the sack, then lifted the two bottom corners, and dumped it directly.
'Gulu Duck!Oh duck!Yay! ...'
As the little Geffen tumbled and fell out of the mouth of the sack,
Soon, these little things filled the entire cliff top.
This place was originally extremely quiet...it could even be said to be a deadly silence, but it was immediately broken.
There are ducks, gurgles, and squeaks everywhere.
These little things are waving little wands, running around, punching and kicking the asses of other little Griffins, heads... little lightning, sparks... shooting out of the wands, flying all over the sky.
It was so noisy for a moment, it was like lunch in the Hogwarts auditorium.
"Albert... you, what do you want to do!"
Black retreated again and again, holding his head warily.
He still hasn't forgotten what happened in [St. Mungo's Magical Hospital].
What the hell is this McGuffin trying to do!
Instead of answering, the McGuffin drew out his wand, clapped his hands, and shouted, "Assemble, Little Guffin Legion!"
Under Blake's astonished gaze, those palm-sized little things that looked exactly like MacGuffin Albert... gathered together in a flash, forming a dozen or so small phalanxes, and began to walk in place, muttering loudly.
Blacks couldn't understand anyway, but he understood that this guy McGuffin Albert seemed to understand what these little things were saying.
"Go... find a cave!"
"Ugh, guji... beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep!" These little creatures bounced up and down and asked various questions.
"Yes, that's right, a dark cave..."
McGuffin faced his little clone... After gesturing for a long time, he waved his wand and cast a [Levitation Curse] on them.
These little things floated up and began to scurry all over the mountains and plains. Many of them even flew up and jumped down towards the cliff, uttering cheerful cries.
I don't know if it's an illusion. After several of these little things jumped off, they seemed to fly back again... It was a joy to play back and forth like this.
"Okay, let's wait for the news here!" McGuffin turned around and said to the stunned Black.
In the dark night, the two were silent, only the little things were chattering and chirping happily.
After enduring it for a long time, Black still couldn't restrain his curiosity.
"This magic was created after an accident at [St. Mungo's Magical Hospital]??"
"That's right. After that accident... With the help of Professor Dumbledore, I managed to control these little things, and now I can make them do something..."
"Although these little things always make a mess, they should play a role to a certain extent in the face of such extremely dangerous and confusing things that are related to magic."
"They can detect even the weakest traces of magic power, and they especially like the magic power emitted unconsciously...For example, the heads of wizards often emit some magic power that they are not aware of...It is the best to find traces of magic left by Voldemort. Especially in this kind of uninhabited place..."
McGuffin saw that Black didn't want to talk about this topic, so he turned to ask Dumbledore about the arrangement of this mission, "Professor Dumbledore told you... What are we here for?"
Black thought for a while and said, "Dumbledore said that there was a Dark Lord's past here... The mysterious man is very likely to hide the [Horcrux] in a dark tunnel. However, Dumbledore is also completely sure...So he told us three locations: here, the orphanage, and Slytherin's old house...Let us two try to find them one by one..."
After the two finished talking about this topic, they fell into silence.
After an hour is estimated.
Three or four little MacGuffins suddenly popped out of the McGuffin's head. These little things looked around blankly, as if they didn't understand why they suddenly appeared in this place again.
McGuffin hurriedly closed his eyes, and he immediately saw through the eyes of the other little Goffins...these little things had already found the cave.
And had a lot of fun in it!
It was a dark and closed cave... There were stone steps, there was a pool formed by the seawater submerged and poured back... there was a rock wall full of mud, and there was a breach on the top of the cave, leading to the cliff...
These little things just got in through the narrow gap between the rock walls.
Of course, they came here not to complete the task that McGuffin said, but to find something interesting.
They are all gathered... in front of a certain rock wall in the cave, as if they have noticed some leftover and hidden magic power.
The little creatures held their little magic wands and kept emitting green light spots like fireflies, testing the rock wall of the cave... and some daring ones were impatient, they jumped directly to the rock wall, poked around with their magic wands, emitting all kinds of magic lights, electric arcs, sparks... and hit the rock wall.
They chattered and called to other Little Guffins.
Until... the rock wall seemed to be unbearable, and it automatically jumped out a black and red arc, burning a large group of small Griffins to ashes...
The little things returned to their original shape, turned into silver threads... and followed the tiny hollow back to the top of the cliff.
That's how McGuffin found out.
But the other deadly Little Geffen didn't care. Instead, they laughed loudly and became more energetic. They continued to stimulate the rock wall one after another.
Until the outline of an arch appeared there, emitting a dazzling white light, and then the light gradually dimmed, and the traces of the arch disappeared...
The Little Guffins seemed to have known about this for a long time, they yelled and jumped, and then continued to go back and forth... and started playing again.
McGuffin opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitching.
He couldn't tell Black what he saw, but simply said, "I know where it is, come with me!"
After finishing speaking, he jumped down from the cliff and cast a [Luminescent Curse] in midair, a little blue starlight illuminated the rocks and waves...
After a slight deceleration, the McGuffin landed on a huge black reef.
The sound of the waves got louder.
The cold, damp smell of the sea... or the splashing waves here, the subtle water vapor, immediately made McGuffin feel that his whole body was soaked.
Sirius Black then landed on the round pebble next to the MacGuffin, "Where is it?"
"No...over there...see it? That gap..."
McGuffin found the dark gap in the rock wall following the induction of the magic power of his little avatar and the memory of the original plot in his memory.
The dark sea water kept swirling and pouring down... white foam swirled and piled up.
In the faint light, once found there, it becomes very conspicuous.
Black took out the note that the previous MacGuffin had handed him.
Sure enough, at this time, the note moved.
It turned and floated, and a black arrow appeared on it... pointing straight to the direction McGuffin suggested.
Seems like the right path,
So McGuffin and Braque jumped back and forth on those slimy, wet... gigantic pebbles half-exposed to the sea, and kept moving towards the dark gap on the cliff.

Hermione immediately took out her wand.
"Clear springs are like water!"
"Whirlwind clean!"
She poured water to extinguish the burning flames, and then cleaned the dark marks on Hagrid's face.

Higra drove the huge carriage and beckoned the MacGuffin to move towards the hut.
