Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 523 Hmm... Really Enough! !

"Where are the Horcruxes kept?" asked the MacGuffin.

"there!"

Black carefully summoned a [Luminescent Curse], and saw clearly the direction pointed on the note.

—in the middle of the lake.

Although it was blurry, the two still saw a small island in that direction.

And that green light seemed to come from there.

But that blurred green light made one suspect that it was just a trap.

——How did you get there?

This is the first problem facing the two of them.

Originally, McGuffin wanted to leave here and go back to Dumbledore, but seeing Black's extremely stubborn and rigid expression, he knew that he would not agree to this proposal at all.

But the lake was flooded with Voldemort's Infernal Guards.

This dark creature has nothing to fear except fire.

And compared to those wrinkled-skinned monsters and blood corpses that McGuffin has experienced...the magic resistance of these dark creatures is astonishingly high...it is even more difficult to deal with in this dark and cold seawater environment.

They will continue to obey Voldemort's original order-to guard the [Horcrux] and destroy any intruder who dares to step here.

Fortunately, Sirius also discovered the weirdness of this place. Although he wanted to find the [Horcrux] very much, he did not act rashly. Instead, he started looking for other magic institutions along the shore.

"Mr. Black..."

McGuffin sorted out what he wanted to say in his mind, and after finding that there was nothing missing, he said, "We'd better go back and report to Professor Dumbledore! This lake is full of some kind of monster... We can't get close to the middle of the lake for the time being."

"what!"

Blake stopped in his tracks and turned around.

From among the small group of small Guffins flying around like a swarm of bees, the McGuffin grabbed one of them and threw it into the lake.

After flying for a certain distance with his head covered, the little thing reacted with a shake... Angrily turned around, yelled at the MacGuffin, and then prepared to turn back again.

But... with a clatter,
In the cold and dark lake, a white guy suddenly appeared...

Although the lake was covered with a layer of thick and indissoluble darkness, the two of them could not fully see the appearance of the thing.

But because the distance was close enough... the two of them, the McGuffin, could vaguely see it when the monster tore the little Goffin into pieces and turned them into silver threads... It was the outline of a human, with a purple and white body, wearing Muggle clothes...

puff-

It fell into the lake again and disappeared...

However, the waves on the surface of the dead water showed that what happened just now was not an illusion.

"Infernal corpse!"

Blake hissed the word through gritted teeth, and he stopped, feeling cold all over.

The scariest thing about Voldemort back then was not that those Death Eaters killed Muggles everywhere and cast black magic marks... but that they unscrupulously created those dark creatures, werewolves, vampires, five-legged monsters, dementors, human-faced dogs... and infernal corpses...

Endless corpses, coupled with a sufficient number of dementors, are enough to crush the sanity of any wizard.

This is also what those crazy Death Eaters are relying on to prepare for war with the Muggle world.

Blake looked at the lake that quickly returned to calm, like a dead object, cold, and motionless. He knew in his heart that since there was a ghost corpse, there must be more underwater. These damned monsters are like cockroaches and mice. They always exist in nests and nests.

A single Inferi can be dealt with even if Muggles find a way (with fire), but... once the number becomes plural, these monsters gather in groups of hundreds, even giants, fire dragons... an Auror team composed of strikers... a little carelessness will wipe out the entire army.

"You already knew!"

Black turned around and suddenly said this to McGuffin.

"When these little things broke into the lake before, I saw these monsters through them...but I don't know what that thing is."

McGuffin stared at the calm but treacherous lake and said, "Fortunately, you didn't act rashly..."

The two were silent.

Under the dots of fluorescent light emitted by the little Geffen, Blake's head was covered with green light, which was inexplicably joyful and weird.

He looked at the little wizard in front of him, and after taking a few breaths, he said, "Of course I know not to act blatantly on a site that seems peaceful but is actually full of Voldemort's black magic..."

"Then can we withdraw? Go to inform Professor Dumbledore... Go to the Ministry of Magic and ask them to send a large force to eradicate all the ghouls here..."

Sirius sneered, "Stop dreaming, Albert! Don't you understand yet? Now the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts are all focusing on the upcoming 'Top Ten Tournament'...there is no room left to send Aurors over."

"What's more, even in normal times, before there is a huge impact, the Ministry of Magic will only send one or two wizards to investigate perfunctorily, and then re-seal one or two spells outside, and return to the office to issue a report."

"Even if we decide to act, we will spread the news... so that Voldemort will know that we are secretly collecting Horcruxes and destroying Horcruxes."

"Professor Dumbledore? Then he..."

"Cornel Fudge is now eyeing Albus, the teachers at the school...even the Weasleys, Severus Snape...so Professor Dumbledore can only send me...and a little wizard like you to deal with this matter."

"Don't worry, judging from the situation where the Dark Lord set up the magic mechanism just now... There must be a way here that allows us to go to the center of the lake."

Blake brought the long and thin roll of parchment to his eyes again... and carefully examined the arrow that appeared on it.

The symbol of the arrow → is still pointing straight to the center of the lake, and has not changed.

Black sighed and put the note back into his pocket.

"Let's go! Let your little clones lead the way... Aren't they able to detect the traces of magic left behind?" Black said.

"...The Dark Lord must have arranged something here, a person like him will only believe in himself."

Of course there will be a path to the center of the lake, and you won't be the first to find it.

McGuffin couldn't say anything.

He couldn't tell Sirius Black directly—his brother Regulus Arcturus Black, a Death Eater, had already taken [Horcrux] away one step ahead.

Shir!
McGuffin watched impatiently as Black led the way.

I don't know when, Sirius might meet Voldemort's chains hidden by the shore...

According to the description in the plot, the bronze iron chain is connected to a small wooden boat in the lake, and taking this can reach the center of the lake, which is where the [Horcrux] is located.

McGuffin knew he had to hurry to stop things from going this way.

According to the way Voldemort left behind... clearing the 'duplicate', this is the most stupid behavior.

Whether it's Dumbledore's strength, or Harry's aura of luck in the plot... Sirius and himself are not close at all. Who knows what will happen on the island in the center of the lake.

Dumbledore can rely on a [Fire Curse] to drive away most of the corpses, but the two of them can't do it, even if there are a dozen or so, it's enough.

If the Inferi is really as terrifying and powerful as Snape said in last week's class.

—he had to do something, do something...to stop this going on.

McGuffin thought.

"Sirius, maybe...we can do it another way?"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that we dived into the water like we did just now? No... that's not okay, I know that you, MacGuffin Albert, probably don't know much about what an infernal corpse is? But I can tell you... It's absolutely impossible for the two of us to cross the lake like we did just now. They will tear us to pieces."

"There must be more than one Inferi in here...and it is impossible for us to fly over directly, or reach the center of the lake by any other means. As for using the [Flying Curse] to summon [Horcrux]... that is even more impossible! The Dark Lord cannot leave such a loophole."

Before McGuffin said anything, Black said a lot, blocking all the methods, as if the only way forward was to follow the magic mechanism left by Voldemort.

"No, let's kill all these monsters!"

"Kill?" Black's mouth seemed to swallow a red-hot iron.

"Well, kill, destroy, whatever it means! I remember that the weakness of the Infernal Corpse is the fear of flames..."

Before McGuffin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Black.

"No, no, I don't think you understand what I mean... those yin corpses are not something we can deal with, even if Professor Dumbledore is here, he would not choose this way. The two of us alone cannot kill so many yin corpses... No, if these monsters are provoked, the two of us will not even be able to escape from here."

"Even if you use the Fiercefire Curse, we don't know how many Infernal Corpses there will be. It is very likely that... the magic power used by the [Fierffire Curse] will suck us both dry... What we need is not a powerful magical flame, but a long-term burning, a fire that can last for several hours... to destroy all...or most of the Infernal Corpses." Black said hurriedly.

"Look at this place, Albert! You can't find any fuel at all. In this case, you can't do that. No wizard can do it by magic."

Braque was afraid that the little wizard would directly cast a spell on the lake, which would startle a large number of corpses.

"That's right, if we just rely on the magic of the two of us...it's really impossible."

"But... if using a Muggle weapon..."

"Muggle weapon?" Black looked suspicious, as if McGuffin had told some big joke.

"White phosphorous bomb! A Muggle weapon that can burn in a small space, that is, here... until all the air or anything that can burn is exhausted. Believe me... this thing is much more powerful than a wand!"

The look on Blake's face showed that he didn't trust MacGuffin Albert at all.

Act like you're crazy.

He looked extremely worried, obviously thinking that the sequelae left by McGuffin in the Ministry of Magic had recurred.

Maybe Black's expression was too obvious, or maybe McGuffin's [Instinct] had made great progress, and McGuffin could see what Black was thinking at once.

So McGuffin hurriedly explained, "Mr. Black, even if you find the mechanism left by the Dark Lord, you may not be able to reach the center of the lake safely...Even if you reach the center of the lake, wouldn't the mysterious man set up other mechanisms? Without completely eliminating the Inferi, if the two of us are really on the small island in the center of the lake, surrounded by those monsters... we will fall into a desperate situation with nowhere to escape."

"It's better to follow my method and try it first. Anyway, it's just a waste of time, and it's not that Professor Dumbledore didn't urge us, but let the two of us try here to check and confirm the location of the [Horcrux], which also proves that this matter is not so urgent..."

Black made a move, he looked at the calm but dangerous lake in front of him.

I think what McGuffin said makes sense.

After thinking about it for a long time, Black decided to do what McGuffin Albert said first.

Even if it doesn't work, there won't be any major problems.

The most important thing is to follow the wishes of this crazy little wizard first, otherwise who knows what kind of moth he will make.

"All right?!"

"That thing? Where's the white phosphorous bomb you mentioned?" Sirius Black asked.

"In the Muggle military base. It's very simple...we just need to control a Muggle." McGuffin said with his eyes glowing. He wanted to try this (Muggle weapon) a long time ago, but unfortunately no one cooperated. The most important thing is that there is no place to experiment (play).

Now there is such an opportunity, plus there is another one who can be pulled into the water... ahem, a partner...

What a perfect time.

Sirius looked at McGuffin, who had fanaticism in his eyes, and felt more and more cheated in his heart.

It's just that he can't regret it.

Just some Muggle stuff, shouldn't be a... big problem, right?
…………

FK!

Big problem!

Fake!

Blake kept cursing inwardly, why did he lose his head, and believed the lies of the little wizard in front of him.

This guy didn't sneakily cast [Confusion Curse] or [Imperial Soul Curse] on himself just now, right?

It reminded me of the journey to a certain Muggle military base in England just now.

Blake's heart skipped a beat.

It's not because of sneaking into the Muggle military base, but because this little wizard didn't know where he was going to find his so-called [White Phosphorus Bomb] from the very beginning...

He only knew about such a thing on TV or in Muggle newspapers and magazines.

Then he actually took it seriously?
Blake regretted being so foolish as to trust this unreliable guy.

The two of them first used [Apparition] to teleport all the way to various places, and McGuffin Albert skillfully cast [Imperial Curse] to control various Muggles related to military facilities, looking for clues... and then used [Forgetting Curse] to make them lose this memory.

Judging from the skillful technique of this little wizard, Black very doubted that it was not the first time he did this.

This kind of reckless behavior is no different from Death Eaters.

It's hard to believe this little guy was born to a Muggle wizard.

Along the way, Black couldn't count how many laws of the Ministry of Magic they had violated.

Anyway, enough to be imprisoned in Azkaban for another 13 years.

There's one thing McGuffin Albert was right about, though.

This Muggle weapon [White Phosphorus Bomb] is indeed—

Very strong!

Blake watched the heat waves erupting on the shore in front of him, burning... forming a sea of ​​flames.

Attracted by the various bloods that McGuffin took out, the corpse kept leaping onto the shore... turning into torches, finally collapsed and split, and continued to burn... until it was reduced to ashes.

Black looked at the wand in his hand, and then at the sea of ​​flames in front of him.

Hmm... really strong enough!
