Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

204. Chapter 204: Reducing the curse and starting

    Although Ivan doesn't use these dark magics on its own, this book is really informative, and the dark magic recorded in it gives him a lot of inspiration.

    In addition to Horcrux and the three Unforgivable Curse, the other dark magic recorded in the book, Ivan has not even heard before. Now through this book, I know that if Voldemort or Death Eater use those magics, he also knows how to crack.

    He looked at it for a moment and raised his head.

    Ivan suddenly remembered that now is not a time to read a book, Dumbledore and Sirius will be back soon, leaving little time for themselves.

    They won't let themselves touch the dark magic book, especially the method of making Horcrux in the "Secrets of the Darkest Art".

    He can't look here, he must take away the dark magic book in front of him, and study slowly when no one is there.

    Ivan frowned at the dark magic book, which was too big and too thick to carry.

    It’s just that this “Secrets of the Darkest Art” is very hard to get up. If you want to take all the books away, it’s impossible to do it. He has to think of a way.

    The best practice is no different from Extension Charm, which can enlarge the space and use it on a carry-on backpack or handbag to put things that you need to carry with you, regardless of size and weight.

    But this curse is very complicated and extremely difficult to use. Ivan tried it a few times before, and it didn't work. It is even impossible to do it in a hurry.

    He thought for a while and pulled out the wand.

    Since Extension Charm doesn't work, he is ready to use the reduction spell.

    When I met Aragog's in Forbidden Forest a few days ago, Ivan originally intended to use this spell, but it was not successful at the time.

    After returning to the castle, he deliberately practiced many times and has completely mastered the reduction spell.

    "Reducio !"

    With Ivan's words, wand emits a blue glow. The heavy and thick magic book on his knee quickly shrank, narrowing to just half the size of a palm.

    Ivan nodded with satisfaction and looked up. The book is currently very compact, but the weight has not changed. If it is not because of the curse, it is hard to believe that this pocket magic book will have this weight. .

    He put the reduced "Secrets of the Darkest Art" into his arms, and then selected a few magic books to zoom out until he couldn't take it anymore.

    Shortly after Ivan's completion, Sirius came back with Dumbledore.

    Dumbledore was wearing a long black travel cloak with Slytherin's locket in his hand, and his face was more serious than ever.

    "Professor, we just listened to Kreacher…"

    "Regulus is in that cave, we have to…"

    Seeing Dumbledore, Harry and Hermione hurried over and said with a slap in the face.

    Ivan also walked slowly and stood beside Sirius, who was afraid to go too fast and let the magic book hidden in his arms fall.

    "Harry, Hermione, I know, Sirius has told me everything on the road."Despite talking to Harry and Hermione, Dumbledore was watching Ivan, and the pale blue eyes were full of scrutiny. He said slowly, "To tell the truth, I really didn't think that you actually found and destroyed. This thing !"

    "It’s just a coincidence. The Slytherin logo on the locket is too eye-catching. I was curious to pick it up and I didn’t expect it…"

    "Then, then you happen to wear the fangs of basilisk, it's a surprising coincidence, Ivan."Dumbledore returned the locket to Ivan. "But I have to thank you. With all your cleverness and hard work, this locket has been destroyed very thoroughly, and the things inside have completely disappeared."

    Ivan took a half step back and hung the locket around his neck.

    Looking at Dumbledore's wrinkled face, he wasn't sure if the other person noticed anything. Under the gaze of Dumbledore's gaze, Ivan had a feeling of nowhere, all the secrets were known.

    Other things, he seems to have seen the dark magic book hidden in his arms.

    "I don't understand, professor!"Harry's expression was confusing. He and Hermione couldn't understand what Dumbledore was saying to Ivan. "This locket is anything, why does Voldemort want to hide it, and Regulus has secretly replaced him?"

    "Like last year's diary, this is a dark magic item made by Tom Riddle himself. It is very evil and very important. Tom Riddle probably never thought that Regulus would take this thing out of the cave under his nose. ”Dumbledore seems to have a bit of disappointment in his tone. "In my opinion, he definitely has blind confidence in his defensive magic, and he did not expect Kreacher to leave the cave. But he used to be like this, never willing to understand these things. ”

    "Professor, what exactly is this locket?"

    "If I didn't guess wrong, this should be a Horcrux."

    "Horcrux ?!"

    The expression on Harry's face was even more confusing, and he turned his head to look at Hermione.

    Hermione shook her head and she didn't know what Horcrux was. I didn't even hear it before.

    Unlike them, Ivan was surprised and didn't expect Dumbledore to say it directly. He thought he would be secret.

    It seems that after seeing Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket, Dumbledore has confirmed that Voldemort is making Horcrux. Or, if he has a new plan, he will tell them about it.

    As for Sirius, after hearing Dumbledore's words, the expression on his face suddenly became pale, although he had speculated on the locket before, but never imagined that this thing would be a Horcrux.

    For this ancient, evil magic, Sirius has heard about it.

    Even if the specific use of Horcrux is not known, there is no doubt that this thing is very important.

    No wonder Regulus would rather lose his life and steal it from Voldemort.

    Thinking of what his brother is doing, Sirius, who was in sorrow, raised his infinite pride in his heart, and he was proud of Regulus.

    ProfessorHarry continued to ask, he wondered if Horcrux was anything.

    But Dumbledore didn't seem to want to answer this question. He looked down at Kreacher and continued. "I just heard Sirius say that the locket was originally hidden in a cave by Tom Riddle. I want to go to the cave and look at it. It might be there. What clues are left. Would you like to help us, Kreacher? ”

    "Yes, sir!"Kreacher replied hoarsely with a bullfrog-like scorpion. "Kreacher is willing to lead you to the cave, but Regulus is a young master…"

    "We will bring Regulus back."Dumbledore looks at Kreacher. "There is no doubt that he is a hero and deserves the honor that a hero should have."

    "Wait a minute, Professor, we have to go!"Harry hurriedly said that it was not anything to continue to entangle Horcrux.

    He was afraid that he said too much and lost the opportunity to accompany Dumbledore's.

    "I can take you three together."Dumbledore's eyes looked around and rejoined Ivan. "But you have to promise me to keep this secret. Before I agree, I can't say anything to anyone, including Mr. Weasley is inside, can you? ”

    Ivan nodded and Hermione hesitated and nodded.

    "Can't Ron tell me?"Harry looked a little hesitant.

    "Of course I do."

    They looked at each other for a moment, and Harry nodded. "Okay, Professor!"

    "Good, I think we can leave now."Dumbledore turned and pulled out his wand.
