All things are three at Hogwarts

With a soft thud, the boat hit the lake shore.

"This boat can't accommodate so many of us." Hermione looked down at the boat. It was indeed a very small boat. "It can only accommodate one person and cannot bear the weight of so many of us."

"For the mysterious man, he only considers how much magical power crosses his lake. This boat may be cast by a spell and can only carry one wizard at a time." Allen's hand lightly brushed over the boat. , feeling the magic fluctuations on the boat, "The mysterious man at that time also needed a way to cross the lake smoothly in case he needed to check or take away his pendant, so as to avoid the anger created by himself and Those guys placed in the lake.”

As an adult wizard and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius was habitually influenced by his appearance and regarded him as a junior even though he knew how powerful Allen was. Moreover, this matter was originally a matter related to the Black family and he had no intention of letting Allen Adventure: "Listen, you guys wait here. I'll go over first. If they find out we're not the mysterious person, they might try to drag us into the water. I'll try first. If there's no problem, Allen will go over...eh?"

Only then did Sirius realize that Hermione had carefully climbed onto the boat with Allen's help and sat inside.

"The mysterious person here must not have learned this trick yet..." The hem of Allen's robe turned into black mist, and then flew up. He did not sit on the boat but sat in the air, but this also made He who stayed in the boat Min couldn't sit comfortably, so she could only squat down and put her knees on Allen's back, squeezing them tightly together.

"Hey, what should we do?!" Sirius asked anxiously.

"Wait, I will come back to pick you up." Allen waved to Sirius without looking back. He watched as the boat carrying Hermione set off immediately, making a soft rustling sound through the water.

"It's driving on its own." Hermione discovered that Allen was not driving the boat, and the boat was moving towards the center of the lake on its own. Soon, the rock walls of the cave were no longer visible. They seemed to be in the boundless sea, but this The water is like a dead sea, without a trace of waves.

As the boat moved forward, the light of Hermione's wand reflected on the dark water, shimmering with little golden lights. The boat cut deep ripples on the glass-smooth lake. Because of the scene she saw in Kreacher's memory, Hermione couldn't help but stick her head out and look at the bottom through the calm water.

She moved the wand across Alan's back to the other hand. The light from the tip of the wand passed over a piece of water, and a human hand floating a few inches below the water, as white as marble, came into Hermione's eyes. , he also wears a pair of rotten watches on his wrist.

Hermione's body leaned forward slightly. In the light of her holding her wand, several dead bodies lay on their backs under the dark lake, a few inches above the water. Their open eyes were misty, as if they were knotted inside. Their hair and clothes were covered with cobwebs, swirling around their bodies like smoke. As the boat moved forward, they suddenly disappeared in the dark lake.

"Judging from their appearance...these people who were killed were all Muggles. Their lives were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the mysterious man." Hermione patted the side of the boat angrily and bit her lip with her white teeth. They take them seriously, just like Bayer doesn't take ordinary wizards seriously..."

"Hermione, that's why we need to master stronger power. They don't take these people seriously, so no one cares about them. But if you master the power and you take them seriously, then others will naturally do the same. Follow you and care about them... Just like our Sirius is not a bad person and tries to resist the education of the Black family, but he is still influenced by his family. Those wizards inside our umbrella, do they really care about the house elves? They are because You care and you care..." After saying that, Allen leaned his back against Hermione's knees, "But the last time I discussed it with you was not accurate. Strength is more important than power, especially in our wizarding world. This is especially true for chess players. If the world is compared to a chessboard, chess players are the people who control these powers. Ordinary Muggles and ordinary wizards, which form the basis of the world, are placed on the chess board... Some powerful ones can be regarded as chess pieces, but more Even the chess pieces are not even considered and can only be regarded as ashes on the chessboard, but the same thing is that if they become conspicuous, they will only be blown away."

After being silent for a while, the sense of security brought by the squeeze between Allen's back and her own legs made Hermione's tense expression relax. There was a row of brand-new teeth marks on her lips. She looked at The mithril wand in his hand, whose core is dragon heart tendon, nodded: "Alan, you are right..."

"It's a good thing that you have strengthened your personal training during this period, but everything is not just black and white, right and wrong, and extremes..." Alan, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, didn't look back, as if he had eyes on his back and saw Hermione's gaze. Holding his own wand, which is made of the core material that is the easiest to cast powerful spells and the easiest to indulge in black magic, "What you need is to let yourself control the power instead of letting the power control you. This is how the mysterious man became the mysterious man... Knowledge and power should only be your ladder to a better end.”

Then the boat bumped lightly against something and came to a stop.

After putting away their thoughts, the two came to a smooth rocky island in the middle of the lake. Allen floated to the shore and stood there, letting Hermione hold his arms and gently jump from the boat to the shore.

It was a large flat black stone slab, empty with only a green light source noticeable. It came from a stone basin similar to a pensieve, with a base underneath.

After Hermione stood firm, Allen, who looked away from the stone basin, turned around and waved to the open space next to him. As Allen's arm fell, two flames appeared in the air, and countless skulls seemed to be screaming silently. Appearing after the cauterization, along with the flames, a tall arch made of skulls appeared.

At the same time, the same situation occurred at the lakeside on Sirius' side, except that the same door appeared behind Sirius instead of in front of Sirius, which Allen was originally aiming for. In this space, the alien world The door was disturbed and there was a slight deviation in the position. However, because the distance of the attack was very close, both sides could see the position, so this visible error would not cause any accidental damage.

"Please come here, Sirius." Sirius was startled by the sudden appearance of the door to another world and Allen's voice that appeared in his heart, as if he had been awakened from a dream, and his eyes seemed as if he had just groped back from a distant place. of.

Sirius was startled for a moment, then turned back to look at the door to another world on the black stone slab in the center of the lake. He exhaled a short and convulsive breath, and strode into the door to other world. Kreacher followed closely behind, and then As their figures disappeared and reappeared in the gate to the other world on Allen's side, the gate to the other world on the lakeside also lost trace.

"Alan, you bad boy! Since there is such a way to break through the restrictions of the area where disembodiment is prohibited, why don't you use it at the beginning?" Sirius, who had just come out of the portal, felt that this method was more comfortable and less dizzy than Apparition. Feeling excited, he walked over quickly when he saw Allen, with an angry expression on his face, "If you want to go boating with Hermione, you should go to the Black Lake! Taking a girl on a boat on a lake full of inferi is not a romantic thing. !”

The know-it-all who didn't realize that Allen was doing it on purpose at first didn't care about things like power and power, and her face turned red.
