After Harry left, William and the headmaster did not talk about what happened just now, but kept eerily quiet.

Or rather, both were avoiding the issue of Harry's scars.

Why did his scar hurt, Dumbledore replied:

Harry's scars hurt when Tom was near Harry, or when he developed a particularly strong will for revenge.

Of course there was something wrong with this answer, William knew that Dumbledore was not telling the truth.

It's as if you didn't go to the office in the morning and the boss asked why you didn't come.

You tell him you overslept in the morning because you drank too much at the party last night.

This is just a superficial reason, not the real reason why it didn't come.

The real reason is that I have a toothache at night, I can't sleep, and then I play games until late at night, which leads to not being able to get up the next day.

Yes, the real reason for being late is a toothache.

But to talk about a toothache... is not appropriate, it sounds like an excuse.

It is even more inappropriate to say that it is staying up late to play games, and it is completely irrelevant!

So after thinking about it, the only excuse is to find drinking, it still sounds like that.

Likewise, why does Harry's scar hurt?

Tom's mood changes are only a superficial reason.

The real internal cause, the reason that touches the essence of the scar... was cleverly avoided by the principal.

Anyway, say one thousand, say ten thousand, as long as Harry believes this reason.

But if you want to deceive William, forget it.

After several years of observation, he already had a guess, a very bold and crazy guess.

He didn't say it like the principal.

Because once it is mentioned, it will be an extremely heavy thing.

William narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and after a while, he took the initiative to change the subject and asked:

"Professor, what happened after the warden?"

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, glad William didn't talk about Harry's scar any further.

Harry was easy to perfunctory, but William couldn't.

He might tell William the truth at some point in the future.

but not now.

Knowing certain truths comes with responsibility. And once you take responsibility, you have to suffer the pain caused by responsibility.

"The next thing." Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said: "Crouch set up a game, deceived the warden Dondarrion, and then went to the Law Enforcement Department to report him.

After Dondarrion was captured, the Ministry of Magic sentenced him to life imprisonment in Azkaban.

Since then, the Ministry of Magic has never sent wizards to oversee Azkaban, leaving only Dementors as jailers. "

Dumbledore paused and said:

"They think... Dementors are safer and less selfish than wizards."

"What about Crouch's son..." William said.

Dumbledore staggered his hands on the table and tapped lightly: "He didn't get the help of the therapist, and he died in less than half a month.

The corpse was dropped by the Dementors in a cemetery near Azkaban. "

Dumbledore sighed: "Crouch's wife would not forgive him for failing to get her son free, and she died three months later because of her grief.

Crouch only held a small funeral and did not invite anyone. "

William was silent, and from Crouch's point of view, this was really a human tragedy.

Isn't it a tragedy? The son went in and died again. The wife was too sad and went with her.

So don't be miserable, there are always people who are worse than you in the magic world.

"Before Dondarrion died, I persuaded him to give me this memory." Dumbledore looked at the Pensieve.

"Professor, who do you think is the wizard that Crouch has imprisoned?" William asked the most important thing.

"There's a lot of speculation. But as far as I know, the Death Eaters I know are either dead, locked up in Azkaban, or at large.

Very few are missing. "

Dumbledore also showed a slightly confused expression.

"Of course, it's also possible that Crouch found out, some Death Eater that I don't even know about.

Remember Tywin? He is a slippery fish. "

Dumbledore used the Pensieve to look at Crouch's memory just to find out.

——Who is the Death Eater who escaped from Crouch!

"What about Tom, he probably didn't get that Horcrux."

"That's what I'm going to tell you." Dumbledore's expression became more serious.

"If Harry's dream was real, Tom should have missed it.

He will definitely go again, we need to determine the location of the Horcrux as soon as possible, and we can't let him take it away.

So these days, I'll be leaving school, and if I find out, I'll let Fox inform you right away. "

"Well." William's expression was flat, this was the agreed upon thing.

"Another thing." Dumbledore stirred the Pensieve with his wand.

Snape's face appeared in the Pensieve, and he opened his mouth and said:

"The man is back... Karkaroff's is... more obvious and clearer than ever..."

Dumbledore worried: "After Albania, Voldemort is strong again."

"And there's several pieces of evidence for that. Besides Professor Snape and Karkaroff, there's also a disappearance."

"Missing incident? Who else is missing?" William didn't get the news.

"It's a Muggle who's missing." Dumbledore said bitterly:

"His name was Frank Bryce and he lived in the village where Voldemort's father was born.

He's been gone since last August, after you discovered Voldemort. "

William was stunned, somewhat admiring Dumbledore's observation.

The headmaster seemed to know what he was thinking and taught:

"William, take care of all news, whether it's wizards or Muggles.

Sometimes, there are clues long before something happens.

It depends on whether we can discover the truth in advance among the complicated information. "

...

...

Early the next morning, William told Hermione exactly what happened last night.

"Mysterious man's power is increasing?"

Sitting at the Ravenclaw table, Hermione listened to William's words, looking anxious and frowning.

She didn't even have an appetite to eat anymore, her forehead rested on William's shoulder, and she stared at the dining table in a daze.

She thought for a long time and said:

"William, remember that rune?"

"Remember, it's in the safety table," William said.

Peter summoned a wizard at the Prancing Horse Inn to catch the rune. The purpose is to use its venom, combined with magic, to create a baby-like form for Voldemort.

In the forests of Albania, William killed the form, and Voldemort returned to the shadow state.

"Its snake egg is gone, I suspect Wormtail hatched that egg and regained the snake venom," Hermione analyzed.

"Yes, they probably did it while hiding in Voldemort's father's old house," William said.

"Has Professor Dumbledore visited the old house?" Hermione asked.

"Professor Dumbledore went to check when he heard that a Muggle was missing, but Voldemort and Wormtail had already left." William shrugged.

Hermione suddenly panicked and lowered her voice:

"Then he... will he check his Horcrux? His father's house is so close to Gaunt's old house."

Gaunt's house is very close to Voldemort's father's house. If he entered the old house and found that the Horcrux was missing, he would definitely transfer other Horcruxes immediately.

"I don't think he will go." William turned his head, looked at her, and said categorically:

"First of all, Voldemort is very weak, you have also seen his state, and it is very troublesome to break through the magic set by yourself.

Let Wormtail go check it out, and he'll probably die inside. He didn't want Wormtail to die, at least not now.

Second, he wouldn't lead his servants, especially one he didn't trust very much, to the place where he hid his Horcruxes. "

"The most important point." William rubbed Hermione's head and said solemnly:

"Voldemort was very confident in his level of hoarding of Horcruxes. He didn't think anyone would discover his secret, much less look it up."

Hermione's brows eased, and she leaned half of her body on William.

"Have you unlocked the secret of the golden egg?" William asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ I haven't figured it out yet. "

Hermione stretched lazily, glanced around, and found that many students were secretly watching them.

Not wanting to come to sign, but want to strike up a conversation. Anyway, it's the annoying **** who came to disturb the world of the two of them.

"Come on, let's go to the Room of Requirement and crack the golden egg!"

Hermione stood up, grabbed William's arm, and dragged him away as he was peeling eggs.

She only took a few steps, turned around again, and took a lot of breakfast.

Eat enough to have the strength to work!
