Chapter 591: The legend of Gandalf is definitely pie in the sky?
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
"I remember what I told you before." Mundungus said aggrievedly, "Not long after Sirius died, a man named Gandalf came here.
With a property transfer agreement, he took away most of the valuable things in the house, including the locket you are looking for. "
After the words fell, the three of them looked at each other.
"So you took away Kreacher's collection and gave those things to Gandalf?" Ron asked in surprise, "This is too ridiculous!"
"There's nothing I can do." Mundungus spread his hands and said exhaustedly: "Originally, I wanted to sneak in one or two antiques, but he asked Remus to spy on me, and in the end I only got some leftovers.
I sold those things for less than two hundred galleons in total, so I really didn't make much money. "
"It's not about how much money you make." Harry thought about the mysterious wizard holding a staff and smoking a pipe he saw in the cave, and he vomited blood in depression.
"Is there any way to find Gandalf?"
"I don't know." Mundungus shook his head very bluntly, "Dumbledore asked me to find out about him, but this man seemed to pop out of a stone.
I mobilized all my connections and searched for him for several months, but there was no information about him, and no one had even heard of him. "
"Could someone be pretending?" Hermione asked suspiciously.
"It's unlikely, I've seen him." Harry said, "Dumbledore has seen him too, in that cave.
If it was someone pretending, he would definitely be able to tell. "
"The problem is how to find him?" Ron said a little tiredly, "It's not too difficult to find a well-known figure, but he seems to be a bit too mysterious."
"Well..." Mundungus raised his hand weakly and said, "I remembered it. Maybe you can ask Phineas. He is the notary of the property transfer agreement."
"Kreacher, bring me that portrait."
"Okay, master."
Kreacher directly apparated to the third floor and took out a blank portrait from Harry and Ron's room.
"How...how do I contact him?" Harry frowned in confusion. He had seen Dumbledore asking Phineas to deliver a message, but he didn't know how to find someone through a blank photo frame.
"Let me try." Hermione picked up her wand and pointed at the center of the ornate picture frame, "Phineas, Phineas, can you hear me?
Professor Phineas Nigellus Black, could you please talk to us? "
"Who is looking for me?"
Phineas slipped into the portrait, and Hermione immediately obscured his view with a wave of her wand.
"Who did it? How dare you?"
"Sorry, Professor, we can't reveal our location."
"Harry Potter?" Phineas couldn't help but froze when he heard the familiar voice. "I heard that you have become the most wanted criminal in the Ministry of Magic and are related to the death of Dumbledore."
"Do you believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it. Dumbledore's portrait is in the principal's office. He trusts you very much."
"Did Dumbledore leave a portrait?" Harry smiled excitedly, feeling that there was a light shining through the darkness. "Can you let him come here? I have too many questions to ask him."
"I'm afraid not, Harry Potter." Phineas poured cold water on his mind, "We cannot leave the Headmaster's office except to visit our portraits elsewhere.
Also, I have to remind you that the portrait of Dumbledore does not represent Dumbledore himself.
If he concealed important memories when making the portrait, he was just a wiser old man. "
"That's okay, it's also good to give us some suggestions."
"Let's talk about this kind of thing later!" Hermione interrupted helplessly: "At least you have to rush into the principal's office before you can see him again.
More business, Harry. "
"I see." Harry said sarcastically, "Can you tell us about Gandalf?"
"Huh? Why are you asking him?" Phineas asked confused.
"I can't tell you this yet," Ron said.
"That's a coincidence. I can't tell you about him either." Phineas retorted lightly.
"We can't really say," Hermione explained, "but he is important, very important, and even the key to defeating the Dark Lord."
"Hahaha..."
Phineas laughed, very loudly.
After a while, he stopped holding his stomach.
"As for that?" Ron looked unnatural, "Is this too exaggerated?"
"It's not an exaggeration at all." Phineas waved his hand, "In a sense, this girl is right. Gandalf is indeed the key to defeating the Dark Lord, at least that's what I think."
"Then tell us quickly!"
"I really can't say that that guy's contract prohibits me from leaking anything about him by any means." Phineas said, with a hint of helplessness in his serious tone.
He was one of the few people who knew the true identity of 'Gandalf'. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a student could be so capable.
Hidden behind the scenes, but almost everyone is included.
"Contract? You mean contract?" Harry suddenly thought of something, "Aaron, yes, Aaron, I almost forgot about him."
Phineas: ...
Could it be that he guessed it?It's none of my business.
"What's wrong with Aaron?" Hermione frowned, feeling worried in her heart, "What does this have to do with him?"
"He knows Gandalf." Harry smiled. "Gandalf himself said that he taught Aaron the magic circle."
Phineas knew that this was another guy who was fooled by 'Gandalf', so he couldn't help but sigh, "Good night to everyone."
"Wait!" Harry suddenly stopped him, "Please don't reveal our contact with you to anyone else."
Phineas nodded slightly and turned away from the picture frame.
"What a bright light!" Ron breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Hermione, "You can contact him, right?"
"Ok!"
"This has nothing to do with me anymore, right?" Mundungus said, "Can I go?"
The three of them exchanged glances, and Harry and Ron nodded to Hermione at the same time.
It's not that they don't want to use that magic, but they really aren't completely sure.
Mundungus is indeed not very good, but so far he is still a friendly army. If the two of them come together, they will easily turn people into idiots.
An apologetic smile appeared on Hermione's face, and then she pointed the wand at Mundungus, "Forget everything!"
Water mist-like light spots sprayed on Mundungus' face. He rolled his eyes and lay straight on the floor.
"It should be fine." Hermione inserted his wand into his pocket, "I deleted his memory of tonight, but is this really appropriate?"
"There's nothing we can do about it, he knows too much." Ron said with an awkward smile, "It's not that I don't believe him, but if he is caught by the Death Eaters, who knows whether he will give us three sold?"
Harry was convinced that they couldn't afford to gamble now, let alone lose.
"Kreacher."
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Please, please and Dobby take him out and find a more secluded den to put him in.
Protect him secretly and make sure he comes back when he wakes up. "
"As ordered."
"Dobby is more than willing to serve Harry Potter."
The two house elves picked up Mundungus and apparated away from 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Hermione, you can contact him now," Harry said.
Hermione took a deep breath, skillfully took out a Galleung, and then tapped it with her wand to change the number on it.
Meanwhile, Diagon Alley.
Aaron, who was packing his suitcase, paused and took out the warm golden galleons.
"If you come to me at night, you must have something important to do, right?"
"There are clues about Horcruxes." Hermione glanced at Harry and Ron hesitantly, "Kreacher and Dobby found Mundungus."
"He didn't sell Slytherin's locket?" Aaron was a little surprised. "It seems he knows the goods better than I thought. He should still be choosing a buyer!"
"In fact, Slytherin's locket was never in his possession."
"Get to the point." Ron urged.
Hermione glared at him, "Well... you know Gandalf, right?"
"I know." Aaron raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is an old friend of mine. A few years ago, my family arranged a spontaneous trip for me, and I happened to be traveling with him."
"Then do you know where he is?" Hermione asked nervously, "Because according to Mundungus, Gandalf once took away most of the wealth in No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Slytherin The locket is inside."
"Water Law..."
Aaron's pupils gradually widened, and his expression became extremely exciting.
After a moment, he came back to his senses, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gradually became more and more unrestrained.
This is definitely pie in the sky?The surprise comes so unexpectedly!
He acquired another Horcrux. To be precise, Slytherin's locket was the first Horcrux he got, but he never knew it.
This Horcrux may be in the vault of Shenming Palace, it may be in his space magic circle, or it may be in Abe's pocket. In short, it is within reach.
"Aaron, Aaron, are you still there?" Hermione asked, her voice bringing him back to reality.
"Sorry, I accidentally got distracted."
"You have a good relationship with Gandalf, can you contact him?" Hermione said awkwardly, "The locket is Voldemort's Horcrux after all."
"I understand, leave this matter to me." Aaron's voice gradually became serious, "I am confident that he can persuade him to hand over the Horcrux, and it will not exceed seven days at most. I will contact you then."
"Great."
"One more thing." Aaron said solemnly, "Hogwarts starts school the day after tomorrow. I know I may not be able to persuade you, but I still hope you can come back to school.
As long as I'm here, the Death Eaters won't dare to embarrass you, but outside..."
Aaron didn't finish his words, and Hermione fell into a brief silence across from him.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Aaron: …
Once this flag was set, it was hard for him to feel relieved.
“If you are in danger, please contact me and I will get to you as quickly as possible.
Also, you need to move as soon as possible.
As time goes by, 12 Grimmauld Place becomes increasingly dangerous. "
"Understood, good night."
"Good night."
After hanging up the call, Hermione had a relieved smile on her face.
"How's it going?" Harry asked impatiently.
"It's done. Aaron can get the Horcrux in up to seven days."
Harry and Ron couldn't help but feel a little excited when they heard the good news.
After more than a month, I finally saw some gains.
"Wait." Harry suddenly thought of something, "Did Aaron tell you how to destroy the Horcrux?"
"Not really, but it shouldn't be difficult for him."
“No, we must not take it lightly.
There is a difference between a Horcrux and a Horcrux. The diary can confuse people's minds and almost drained Ginny's life.
I don’t know what kind of magic the Gaunt family’s ring has, but it seems that Dumbledore lost an arm because of it. "
Hermione's expression changed drastically, "I'll contact him immediately."
Aaron, who was immersed in ecstasy, felt the signal from Jin Gallon and immediately came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
"Harry asked me to remind you that Horcruxes are particularly dangerous. If you are not absolutely sure of destroying them, don't act rashly."
"Okay, I understand, good night."
After hanging up the contact again, Aaron didn't bother to pack his suitcase and pulled Abe up from the bed.
"Master, Master?" Abe nervously covered his pocket. Aaron's sight reminded him of the cruelty of confiscated supplies in the past.
"Don't be nervous." Aaron showed a kind smile and took out Captain Jack's compass.
"The location of Slytherin's Locket."
He repeated this in his mind, and the pointer on the compass began to turn slowly, and finally pointed outside the door.
"It seems like it's not at your place, nor at my place."
"what?"
"Nothing? Just keep sleeping with you!"
Aaron put Abe on the bed, then communicated with his missing body in his mind, and told him the news about the locket.
Soon Captain Jack's compass was held in the hands of the missing body, and the pointer rotated wildly, and when it stopped, it accurately pointed to the location of the vault.
"It's far away in the horizon, but it's so close before your eyes!" The missing body chuckled and shook its head, then opened the treasury and started rummaging through a golden mountain in the direction pointed by the compass pointer.
This vault contains some of the property of the Black family, but most of it is gold coins. In addition, there are various gold and silver vessels, antiques or works of art.
Slytherin's locket is indeed an ancient artifact, but Aaron is not an antique enthusiast and has never paid attention to these things. This resulted in Voldemort's soul fragment being hidden under his nose for so long without being discovered. .
After more than 20 minutes, the missing person threw away the golden shovel in his hand and took out a locket the size of an egg from the center of the golden mountain.
The octagonal locket has a surface made of gold that has accumulated over time. In the center is an S-shape inlaid with densely packed emeralds, which looks like a vivid little snake.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It's so beautiful. It seems that I will have to pay attention to antiques in the future." The missing body said to itself, and then looked at the locket, its eyes full of playfulness.
"You can hide quite well! Senior Tom Riddle."
With a property transfer agreement, he took away most of the valuable things in the house, including the locket you are looking for. "
After the words fell, the three of them looked at each other.
"So you took away Kreacher's collection and gave those things to Gandalf?" Ron asked in surprise, "This is too ridiculous!"
