Douglas coughed lightly, interrupted Dumbledore and said:
"Professor, I have a Pensieve..."
This time it was Dumbledore's turn to be slightly surprised. Although the Pensieve is not unique, it is not something that ordinary wizards can have.
Especially Muggle-born wizards are almost impossible to hold, unless from the black market or tomb robbery...
Because it has been given magic that can reproduce memories, it can faithfully reproduce any details stored in the subconscious mind, and whether it is the owner of the memory or someone else, can enter those memories and walk around in them. It is very dangerous for most people.
Generally, only powerful wizards would choose to use the Pensieve, and keep it as a very private collection.
So most Pensieves are buried with the wand when the owner dies.But there are also Pensieves that are passed down from generation to generation by wizards with memories.
Not to mention others, even Dumbledore's Pensieve is the inheritance of the headmaster of Hogwarts.
Of course Douglas knew the danger of the Pensieve, so after he bought it from the system mall, he only extracted some unimportant memories for experiments, and didn't put any private memories in it.
After all, there is a brat at home who comes every day, so if he accidentally sees something, wouldn't it be very troublesome.
Although he didn't want to use the Pensieve to look at his own memories, he could look at other people's memories.
So he courteously took out the Pensieve from the study cabinet, put it in front of Dumbledore and asked:
"So Professor, will you bring the memory of Bob Ogden?"
Dumbledore didn't speak, looked at the clean Pensieve and asked:
"Douglas, you don't know what to eat with the Pensieve, do you?"
Douglas cleared his throat in embarrassment and said:
"I didn't deliberately use it to cook food, after all, this thing is too precious...
Well, when I pour memory into it, it feels like a bowl of soup, I just want to try to see if I can make a soup out of memory.
I once heard that there is a soup of eight tears, which are one drop of raw tears, two old tears of money, three points of bitter tears, four cups of tears of regret, five inches of tears of lovesickness, six cups of tears in sickness, seven feet of tears of parting, and finally sad tears. Tears, brew a soup that can forget the memory, its taste is sweeter and more fragrant than the forgetting potion made with the water of Wangchuan.
So I want to try to use the seven memories of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire, combined with the characteristics of the Pensieve, to see if it is possible to brew a soup with all the flavors of life, and you can experience all the flavors of life with a sip of the soup. "
Dumbledore asked with great interest:
"and then?"
Douglas said regretfully:
"Then I discovered that if you heat the Pensieve, it will destroy the runes that come with it, so I want to have time to study the heating runes, whether they can be added..."
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that Douglas's research was successful, and then someone used his Pensieve to check the memory, and ended up in the hot soup...
No wonder Snape Douglas' potion path went astray, Dumbledore shook his head and said:
"I may have disappointed you, but I didn't bring old Ogden's memory with me today, so I plan to invite you to come with me in person.
I want to use your ability to find some clues in that place. "
Douglas thought about it carefully. Dumbledore should have discovered the location of which Horcrux, but he really couldn't remember which one the other party had discovered.
So he left a note for Dobby and Sirius, and set off with Dumbledore.
Through Apparition, the two suddenly appeared in front of a hillside, surrounded by various tall bushes. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find that there was a path for people to walk in front of this hillside.
Behind them was the village of Little Hangleton, and because he could clearly see the cemetery in the village from a higher place, he suddenly thought that Voldemort's father was probably buried there.
Dumbledore cleared a path with his wand, and said emotionally:
"There used to be a fence around here, and Muggles were forbidden to enter, but under the scour of time, there is nothing...Time crushes everything, everything is aging due to the power of time, in the passage of time forgotten."
Douglas then said:
"Time doesn't pass, it's just us that pass. Perhaps Voldemort's purpose in making Horcruxes is to ensure that his life will not pass away."
Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, then took a deep look at Douglas and said seriously:
"Any price to resist the loss of life is not something that mortals can bear, even the most powerful wizard."
The corner of Douglas’s mouth twitched. Tell me what do you mean, I’m not Voldemort, any resources in our pockets are ten thousand times better than Voldemort’s Horcrux...
Along the way, Douglas saw what the descendants of Slytherin were. Although there had been no one in the Gaunt family for decades, the snakes here were still very active.
But it's a pity that these snakes are some common species. Think about it too. After the Ministry of Magic captured Voldemort's uncle Moffingand, it should have cleaned up some magic snake species.
Along the way, seeing some snakes that didn't have long eyes and took the initiative to attack, Douglas showed his superb snake catcher's skills, putting the delicious ones into his bag.
No one has taken care of it for decades, and weeds and shrubs are intertwined here. Even Dumbledore can barely find a way forward by relying on his memory.
At last they stopped in front of a dark wood, overgrown with leaves and pitch black.
As soon as Douglas looked over, he knew that the trees must be hundreds of years old.
Dumbledore motioned for Douglas to draw out his wand, because it was already close to Gaunt's old house, and no one knew what traps those insane people would set up in the woods.
The two moved carefully in the woods, where various snakes climbed on the branches.
Soon Douglas saw a half-hidden house through the cracks in the trees ahead.
Because no one took care of it, most of the house and the surrounding walls had already collapsed. Because the roof was not protected by tiles, the rafters on it had already broken, and more than half of the whole house had collapsed.
There were dense and messy nettles growing around the house, perhaps sensing the arrival of strangers, various poisonous snakes drilled out of the dilapidated house, and began to spit at the two of them.
Douglas looked at Dumbledore, saw the old man looking at him with a smile on his face, and suddenly understood.
He pulled Dumbledore back slowly, they backed up, and the poisonous snake rushed towards them.
And piles of heads protruded from the tree behind him.
Douglas used the Iron Armor Curse to protect both of them, while Dumbledore stood aside and let him cast it.
Immediately afterwards, Douglas pulled out his wand, and used the Lightning Falling Curse again. After studying the lightning magic in other worlds during this period, Douglas had already changed the Lightning Falling Curse, so that he could summon lightning out of thin air without using the principle of the weather spell, and the size of the lightning Can be mastered by oneself.
Under his call, the thunder and lightning lasted for 3 minutes, covering the entire courtyard of Gaunt's old house.
Dumbledore on the side noticed that none of the snakes were dead, they were just stunned by lightning, and the snakes on the tree behind them had already receded.
Not only that, Dumbledore also noticed that in several places in Gaunt's old house, the breath of black magic was still exuding. It was obvious that the protective magic that had previously covered these black magic was destroyed by Douglas's lightning.
"Very powerful thunder and lightning magic, I can feel a strong positive energy from it.
Was it the magic that destroyed Tom's diary in the first place? "
Douglas looked at the snakes all over the ground, then nodded, not knowing whether he was answering Dumbledore, or satisfied with the results of his magic.
Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore saw Douglas take out a small cage. This cage was originally prepared for Peter Pettigrew, but he didn't expect to use it here first.
Opening the mouth of the cage, he shouted at the group of snakes still fainting on the ground:
"Snake, come to the cage!"
I saw those snakes flying towards the cage in Douglas' hands, and it was obvious that an infinite stretching spell was cast inside.
Otherwise, it is impossible to hold hundreds of big snakes.
Dumbledore asked curiously:
"Douglas, haven't you caught some snakes before? Why are you still catching so many snakes? Don't you get tired of eating them?"
Douglas looked at the snake in the cage with satisfaction and said:
"These snakes are not for eating. I heard from Hagrid that there are fewer and fewer snakes in the Forbidden Forest, seriously affecting the ecological balance of the Forbidden Forest, so I plan to release these snakes into the Forbidden Forest."
If Dumbledore hadn't seen Douglas's glowing eyes, he would have believed him.
"Professor, I have a Pensieve..."
This time it was Dumbledore's turn to be slightly surprised. Although the Pensieve is not unique, it is not something that ordinary wizards can have.
