Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Although Lu Ke has never learned to row, he has been ravaged by Gryffindor for a long time. Not only is he powerful, but his sense of balance is also outstanding. He became proficient after learning the basics after trying it twice.

The boat went straight to the center of the water like an arrow.

Soon, under the light of Dumbledore's wand, Lu Ke saw a small island in the water: or a reef.

The same dark black basalt rises from the water, with an artificial stone platform above it.

Dumbledore jumped off the boat before Lu Ke and walked to the stone platform.

Lu Ke quickly followed up: "Be careful, there is dangerous black magic on that stone platform!"

Dumbledore nodded: "As expected, Tom left a lot of things here. He valued Horcruxes very much."

Lu Ke shook his head: "More than that."

Dumbledore smiled: "Yeah...but I can't see where the entrance is."

He looked down at the only prominent stone platform.

There is a depression on the stone platform, like some kind of container, with a shallow pool of clear water inside.

"So Tom is using a more subtle spell here..."

Dumbledore was very interested. He tapped around the stone platform with his wand, seemingly treating it as some kind of puzzle game.

Lu Ke stood aside and looked around helplessly.

He is indeed very sensitive to the breath of magic spells, but not to the point where he can distinguish the effects of countless magic spells superimposed on each other.

There is black magic everywhere here, and Lu Ke is helpless.

Of course Dumbledore will solve the puzzle left by Voldemort, but he doesn't want Lu Ke to interfere.

After all, there may be traps there.

Finally, Dumbledore stopped and let out a long sigh.

"I thought I'd have a taste of the water."

Lu Ke quickly raised his hand to stop Dumbledore: "No, this water must be poisonous."

Dumbledore glanced at Lu Ke, then shook his head: "This is a curse that Muggles can never break, because a wizard must drink up the water before the Horcrux hidden inside will appear."

Lu Ke shook his head: "Because I can't drink, you have to drink?"

Dumbledore nodded matter-of-factly: "We came here to find the Horcrux, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "We can have other methods, alchemy, or find someone to help..."

Dumbledore let out a long sigh: "This means that all the power in the wizard's body will be consumed by these liquids. For any wizard, or other magical creatures such as goblins, house elves, etc., It’s all huge damage.”

"No one should do this but me."

Lu Ke looked at Dumbledore, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face: "You're here again..."

Dumbledore slowly sat down against the stone platform: "In your opinion, this is the self-doubt and wrong self-denial of a person in old age."

"But don't underestimate me, Lu Ke."

Dumbledore slowly raised his wand, and a ball of shining light slowly rose like the rising sun, illuminating the entire space.

"My will has never been broken. Everything I have experienced in the past has strengthened me, not weakened me."

"I don't deny that Tom grasped my only weakness and used the Resurrection Stone to plot against me, but I have never been defeated."

"Everything I am doing now is the only way to the end where Voldemort is completely defeated. That is the only place that must be passed."

"My plans don't fail and everything I do has meaning."

Lu Ke shook his head: "You are hurting yourself."

Dumbledore stood up with difficulty: "Is this...it's just a necessary act to complete a compensation that I personally think is necessary."

"Since I am responsible for Tom becoming Voldemort, then I am not innocent either."

Lu Ke looked at Dumbledore, his eyes flashing.

"Actually, not long ago, that Muggle private detective told me about a new theory, educational psychology."

Dumbledore glanced at Lu Ke curiously: "What is that?"

Lu Ke smiled: "I don't understand either. It's probably why people have other ideas."

"There is a saying called the family of origin."

"It probably means that a child will start to imitate the behavior of the people around him when he is not sensible at all, and it will be like an innate instinct that cannot be changed throughout his life."

“This can explain why many people’s education and growth environment are not bad, but their nature is still hard to change and they have many shortcomings.”

Dumbledore looked at Lu Ke and shook his head: "I'm afraid Tom hasn't lived with his biological parents for long..."

Lu Ke nodded: "His parents broke up when he was just born. After that, his mother abandoned him, and he grew up in an orphanage. The nun who managed the orphanage was an alcoholic."

"Voldemort's misfortune has nothing to do with you, Dumbledore."

Dumbledore was silent for a long time.

Finally, he seemed to wake up from sleep and looked around blankly.

"Harry...do you remember his parents?"

Lu Ke was silent for a moment, then nodded: "He inherited the bravery and kindness of his parents."

Dumbledore forced a smile with a complicated expression: "What about you, Lu Ke?"

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh: "My parents are the best parents in the world."

Dumbledore tremblingly raised his withered right hand to cover his face.

"Me too……"

He stood there in silence for a long time, and then finally lowered his right hand.

"This is a vicious curse. Those waters will drain away all the power of the wizard who drinks them. I think the tool used in Tom's plan to open it again should be a house elf, because ordinary Death Eaters or The wizard couldn't even hold on until the water was finished."

Dumbledore glanced at the stone platform one last time, then turned around: "I don't think you can think of a way, but if I drink this water now, I'm afraid I only have two or three days to live."

A trace of shock and anger flashed across Lu Ke's face: "Then you..."

Dumbledore nodded: "I'm not going to drink this water anymore. For the time being, I think I can leave something for Harry."

"As for finding someone to drink this water for me, don't make any unnecessary attempts, Lu Ke, unless you want to be like Tom, who takes pleasure in seeing other people's pain and death."

Lu Ke shook his head: "I will find a way."

Dumbledore shook his head and walked onto the boat in silence.

"Sorry, can you teach me how to row?"

"I think it's more interesting to go through it slowly the Muggle way than with the curse."

Lu Ke reluctantly got on the boat and picked up the paddle: "The key is to master the left and right balance."
