Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 710 The Gunter Family
After spinning around for a while, Fish stood on a country road, with tall hedges with tangled branches and leaves on both sides, and a clear blue sky above his head. The sun was very strong, and the time should be summer.

About ten paces ahead stood a squat man wearing a pair of glasses with extra thick lenses, who was strangely dressed: a striped bathing suit over a frock coat , with shoe covers on her feet...

Obviously this is another wizard who doesn't know much about the Muggle world, and has no interest in learning about it.

Fish, who had used the Pensieve to look at other people's memories many times, knew that this person must be the Bob Ogden that Dumbledore said, the owner of this memory.

So he strolled forward and looked at the wooden signpost that Ogden was looking at.

There are two directional arrows on the road sign, one reads: Great Hangleton, 5 miles.Another read: Little Hangleton, 1 mile.

Mao Mao, who has a good memory, thought for a while, and immediately remembered where this place was... The place where he and Harry were teleported by Little Barty with the Portkey was called Hangleton. Nepe asked.

At this time, Hermione and the others also entered Ogden's memory, and Fish immediately greeted them.

"Albus, is this man going to Voldemort's house?"

ω
"Why do you think so?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Because the street sign over there says Hangleton, Voldemort's father's grave should be nearby meow..." Mao Mao looked around while talking. "But Fish hasn't found that cemetery yet."

"It's useless even if you find it, because old Tom Riddle is still alive at this time," Dumbledore led the three to catch up with Ogden, and explained: "To be precise, Voldemort is still dead at this time." Not born."

Not only Fish, but even Harry and Hermione became confused.

"Then what's the use of this memory, Professor?" Harry asked suspiciously: "Voldemort hasn't been born yet, so there must be no clues of his Horcrux at this time."

"Don't be so absolute, Harry." Dumbledore shook his black index finger and said, "Just watch quietly, after reading Bob's memories, we will have plenty of time to discuss slowly." .”

So Fish and Harry kept their mouths shut, and followed Ogden through the remote path to a dark forest, where Dumbledore obtained the Resurrection Stone from Gaunt's old house.

Compared with the crumbling dilapidated house more than 80 years later, the Gunter family is not much better today.

The walls were covered with moss, and many of the roof tiles had fallen off, showing here and there the rafters within.Nettles grew thickly all around the house, reaching up to the windows, which were very small and thick with old grime.

And on the door of this house, there is still a dead snake nailed to it.

While Hermione and Harry were watching Ogden, Fish looked up.

When viewing other people's memories with a Pensieve, the surrounding sounds and smells are also reproduced, even if the owner of the memory does not notice these sounds or smells.

So Fish immediately spotted the man in tattered clothes who was sitting on the branch of a nearby tree.

The man jumped from the tree and landed in front of Ogden, startling him.

"Hiss..." Morfin Gaunt warned Ogden in Parseltongue.

After being reminded by Fish, Harry dutifully acted as an interpreter.

Then, following Ogden's memory, they saw Morfin who didn't seem to speak English, Merope who was obedient, and old Gaunt, who was grumpy and proud of his blood to the point of blind arrogance.

So it is known that they are descendants of Slytherin and Peverell.As for the other blood Peverell mentioned by old Gaunt, even Hermione, who had searched the library, didn't know who it was.

Harry looked at Merope, who was beaten and scolded by old Gaunt at will, but didn't dare to resist, and felt a little empathetic... His previous treatment at the Dursleys' house was not much better than hers.

Just when Ogden solemnly notified Morfin of the time of trial, two young Muggles, a man and a woman, were talking and laughing outside the door. According to the communication between the two of them, Fish and the others knew that the man was also named Tom.

"That's right," Dumbledore noticed the gazes from the three of Fish and the others, and nodded with a smile. "That's Voldemort's father, old Tom Riddle when he was young."

"Fish go out and see meow!"

=(ω)

The cat immediately went through the wall and ran outside the house.

After a while, he ran back through the wall again.

"That man looked like Voldemort when he had a nose." Fish, who had seen Voldemort when he was young, said so.

However, before Hermione and Harry could ask further, old Gaunt wanted to strangle his daughter to death because she fell in love with a Muggle.After he was stopped by Ogden, Morfin immediately waved a knife and wand and attacked Ogden.

Ogden fled.Dumbledore motioned for them to follow.

Ogden shielded his head with his arms, rushed up the dirt road, turned quickly onto the main road, and bumped into a shiny bay horse.Harry and Hermione also saw Voldemort's father as a young man at this time.

It was a very handsome young man with dark hair, and Harry could hardly imagine how Voldemort had gone from a face similar to this one to the terrifying one he was now.

Tom Riddle, on the bay horse, was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Ogden, but soon he was laughing with the pretty girl beside him on the gray horse, because Ogden's The dress up is just too funny.

"Okay, we should leave too."

Dumbledore looked at the back of Ogden fleeing in embarrassment, said to Fish and the others, and reached out to hold Harry's elbow, and Fish also took Hermione's arm.

The two made a lifting motion in unison, and the four of them flew higher and higher in the darkness like weightlessness, and finally landed steadily back in Dumbledore's office. At this time, it was already pitch black outside the window.

"How is that girl in the cabin?" Harry immediately asked, "That Merope or something?" Because of what happened to the other party, Harry was very concerned about her future fate.

Dumbledore replied with a flick of his wand, lighting a few more lamps: "She survived. Ogden apparated to the Ministry and returned fifteen minutes later with reinforcements. Morfin and his father fought hard, But both were overpowered and taken out of the cabin, and the Wizengamot later convicted them."

As he spoke, he sat down again behind the table, and motioned for Fish and the others to sit down as well. At the same time, he opened the drawer, took out some snacks and put them on the table.

"Morfin already had a history of attacking Muggles and was sentenced to three years in Azkaban. In addition to hurting Ogden, Marvolo also hurt several other officials of the Ministry of Magic and was sentenced to six months. Imprisonment," he continued.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Fisher's lead, took a piece of chocolate frog from the table, and gnawed on it.

"So, what did you all find out from the memory just now?" Dumbledore put his elbows on the table, put his fingers together, and asked with a smile.

Fish concentrated on eating his snacks, completely uninterested in Dumbledore's question.

Harry slowed down his chewing speed, knowing something about Voldemort's life experience, he had a vague guess in his mind.

However, just as he was about to speak, Hermione stepped forward and said, "That witch named Merope... is Voldemort's mother?"

It is not uncommon to have such a speculation. After all, in the memory just now, Merope was almost strangled to death by his father because he fell in love with Tom Riddle.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Marvolo, his son Morfin, and his daughter Merope are the last descendants of the Gaunt family, a very ancient wizarding family known for its restlessness and violence. Their habit of marrying consanguineous relatives became more pronounced from generation to generation. Their irrationality, combined with their penchant for pomp and ostentation, resulted in the squandering of the family fortunes long before Marvolo's generation. .”

He told Harry and Hermione about the Gaunt family.

"As you have seen just now, Marvolo ended up in poverty, terribly bad-tempered, arrogant and unreasonably conceited, and he still has two ancestral relics in his hands, which he regards as his son Precious, much more precious than his daughter."

"Voldemort made them all Horcruxes?" Hermione asked keenly, "The ring that hurt you, is the one in old Gaunt's hand?"

"If this was in class, I would definitely add fifty points to you." Dumbledore slapped his hands and praised, "Yes, Voldemort made that ring into a Horcrux and cast a magic spell on it. A vicious spell, I accidentally fell for it."

He talked about his injury indifferently, then shook his head with a little regret, and said, "Unfortunately, I couldn't find the locket on Merope's neck, and I didn't even have a clue. But it was probably also made into a Horcrux by Voldemort."

"How many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?!" Hermione screamed.

"I don't know," Dumbledore said with a sigh, "This is the question I most want to confirm now."

"What's so difficult about this?"

(ω)

Fish finally raised his head from the snacks, and said puzzledly: "Just go and capture Voldemort, and then give him Veritaserum, won't it be fine? Doesn't Severus have a kind of heart-wrenching potion that can make the brain Does the Occlumency fail? It's the kind Sirius once drank."

Dumbledore froze for a moment, he seemed to have never considered such a direct and brutal method, but after being dazed for a while, he shook his head again and said, "I want to catch Voldemort and make him fight without any resistance." The feasibility of drinking Veritaserum and the Mind Loss Potion is too low, and with his attainments in Occlumency, Severus' Mind Loss Potion may not be effective either."

"It never hurts to try."

(`ω)
Mao Mao still insisted on his plan.

Dumbledore didn't argue with him, and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it later when Voldemort doesn't plan to hide." He looked at the wall clock on the wall, "Come here tonight, next time there will be a new one." The story is over, I will let Fish inform you again."
