Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1098 Inheriting Voldemort's Legacy

Not long after Dumbledore left, a figure emerged from the void without warning. He raised his wand to look around, glanced at the destroyed house in front of him, and looked at the watch on his wrist to make sure that there were no other people around. Only then did he slowly lower his wand and walk towards the entrance of the secret room under the ruins.

  The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic failed to break into the secret room, or they were blocked by the protective measures left by Voldemort. Obviously, a more professional spell-breaking team was needed to decipher the dangerous spell left by Voldemort and the hidden entrance to the secret room.

   As for leaving someone to guard here?

  Don't be kidding, if a Death Eater emerges, or Voldemort turns back, the Auror who stayed behind to guard the secret room will die.

  As for Dumbledore, he naturally guessed what might be hidden below, but he urgently needed to rush to the Ministry of Magic to rescue Harry, and he didn't have the time and energy to enter the Chamber of Secrets.

  Thus, Voldemort's "inheritance" was accepted by Albert.

  Albert certainly knew that there might be danger in the secret room, but he still didn't intend to give up. After planning for so long, there must be something to gain.

   Moreover, Felicia can help Albert avoid most dangers and greatly reduce the risk of entering the secret room.

  Even so, Albert still put on his best dragon leather gloves before walking towards the entrance of the chamber with his wand.

   As soon as the front foot stepped into the downward stairs, Albert stopped and threw a ball of light downward, completely illuminating the space below.

   There are tables and chairs in the secret room, and there is a candle on the table. There should have been some things on the desk, which have been taken away by the Aurors.

   But these things should only be appearances.

  If this is really Voldemort's lair, there must be more than that. Otherwise, after the Auror came to the door, Voldemort would definitely leave immediately instead of being exposed to the Auror.

   Albert narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around, looking for traces of magic.

  There are traces of magic everywhere, but Albert still found some clues. He walked to the right, raised his wand and tapped lightly on the wall twice.

   Nothing happens.

"Open."

   Albert spoke to the snake-shaped decoration on the wall in Parseltongue.

  The next moment, the real entrance to the secret room suddenly appeared in front of Albert.

  That's right, the so-called Chamber of Secrets is actually just a cover for the existence of the real Chamber of Secrets, and the real Chamber of Secrets needs to be opened using Parseltongue, which should be regarded as the pride of the descendants of Slytherin.

  Albert did not enter in a hurry, but threw a bright ball of light into the secret room, completely illuminating the space inside.

  The secret room is very spacious, with an experimental table in the middle, and many large cabinets around it. In addition to a large number of books and parchments, there are also various dark magic items, which are undoubtedly gadgets made or collected by Voldemort.

   "Looks like luck."

Albert was in a happy mood. He took out a bag from his robe pocket, and took out a large box from the bag. After opening it, he waved his magic wand lightly. The parchments and books all jumped out of the cabinet and jumped into the box neatly. He took away the non-magical books and parchments, and Voldemort's decades of research were all his.

  Anyway, Voldemort is going to die soon, and it's a pity that these things stay here to rot.

  As for black magic items, Albert would not take the risk of touching them, even with dragon leather gloves, he would not take the risk.

  However, he has already dealt with this.

   Albert took out a pair of dexterous wooden palms, cast a spell on them, and let these hands take the black magic items instead of himself, and sealed them in the box.

   "There are so many black magic items, enough for me to open a black magic store." Albert joked, but he didn't actually think about how to deal with these black magic items.

  However, these are his trophies, so it is better to take them all away than to keep them here.

  The items in the secret room were sealed by Albert in a box with a strong shielding spell. He planned to find a place to hide them later and deal with them after Voldemort died.

  After sweeping away everything here, Albert went around the empty secret room, looking for any traces of magic.

  No one stipulates that there can only be one secret room.

  Albert suspects that there may be a laboratory hidden here, at least he has a laboratory, and Voldemort, who often needs to experiment with black magic, also needs a laboratory.

  Facts have proved that Albert's guess is correct. There are other secret rooms hidden here, and there are two of them.

  He found a snake-like mark on the candlestick on the wall of the room. There was also a similar mark on a certain bookshelf, which seemed to be a revolving door.

   "You really know how to hide, is this influenced by Slytherin?" Albert joked, but also admitted that using Parseltongue is indeed a good way.

   At least except for Voldemort himself, it is difficult for others to discover the secrets here.

  After switching the language to Parseltongue, Albert successfully turned on the switch behind the candle. Inside was a very ordinary room with only one bed and an old cabinet.

   There are many things with a sense of history on the cabinet.

   "I didn't expect Voldemort to have a collection habit, but why does he like to use the relics of the Hogwarts Big Four to make Horcruxes?"

Albert began to count the contents of the cabinet: a metal suspected to be the Eye of Horus, but there was no trace of magic on it; a very old parchment scroll, also without traces of magic; a metal plate with words on it, a A suspected stone plate of the Mayan civilization, a suspected human skull, anyway, many Alberts could not identify what they were.

   Can be collected here, should be some very valuable things, and none of them are magic items.

  All these things became Albert's trophies, so he was naturally rude and swept them away.

  He quickly found Voldemort's vault behind the cabinet. There was no protective magic on it, so he left it there for Albert to take.

   It's a pity that Voldemort is not rich. Albert doubts whether there are more than 2,000 Galleons in the small vault, and even many of them are not Galleons, but currencies of other countries.

   "What a poor man." Albert muttered, he suspected it was the two thousand galleons in the mission reward.

  In short, these Galleons belonged to Albert.

  He searched the entire room again, and after looting all the hidden things, he suddenly understood that Voldemort was unwilling to give up this place.

   There are four big chests, Voldemort's harvest for decades, just washed by him...inherited.

   Albert suddenly looked forward to another secret room.

  When Albert used Parseltongue to open the secret room hidden behind the bookshelf, most of his original good mood suddenly disappeared. The secret room was indeed a laboratory.

  There are various disgusting organs soaked in green solution stored on the shelf inside, a mummy that is suspected to be a ghost corpse, Albert suspected that the thing was still alive, so he conjured up a chain to bind it firmly.

  Werewolves, vampires, and the corpses of various humanoid magical creatures can be found here. Voldemort has obviously studied where wizards' magic comes from.

  Beside the shelf is the skeleton of a unicorn. The original holy unicorn was soaked into an ominous black by black magic. Albert suspected that this thing was highly poisonous, and even turned into a very dangerous black magic item.

  The most gratifying thing is that Albert found a lot of magic materials, many of which are even very rare.

   After all, those ancient dark arts sometimes require potions.

Albert swept away all the materials inside. As for the corpses soaked in the green solution, he didn't mean to take them away, but planned to set fire to burn all the remaining things later, which was regarded as a ruin. Otherwise, Voldemort would definitely be suspicious when he found out that his lair had been evacuated.

   No, he might guess that he did it himself?

However, both sides are hostile, and to the point where they can't wait to kill each other, Albert will naturally not be polite. After he searched carefully, he stood at the entrance and released devil flames, completely burning the place to ashes .

  Looking at the blazing devil flames, Albert waited a full ten minutes before extinguishing the flames again, clearing away the remaining traces and leaving quietly.

  He planned to find a place to hide the boxes of loot separately first, lest there be tracking magic on them. Even if it was stored in a box with a powerful shielding spell, Albert still couldn't guarantee whether Voldemort would follow the tracking magic to find it.

   After Voldemort died, it would not be too late to dig things out. Anyway, Voldemort didn't have a good few years to live.

   After making sure he didn’t forget anything, Albert packed up his things and went home to rest. He had been busy all night and needed a good rest.

  Going back to the past through the time converter, when Albert returned to the manor, he found someone sitting in the hall.

"Busy working."

   "Well, I'm done." Albert stretched out his hand and yawned, "I'll take a shower first."

   "Did you forget to say something?" Isobel asked blankly.

   "Sorry to worry you."

   "Tell me, what did you do tonight."

   "To inherit an inheritance."

   "This isn't funny at all."

"I found the mysterious man's lair and informed the Ministry of Magic Aurors in a secret way. The Aurors blew up the mysterious man's lair and drove the mysterious man away. After the Aurors left, by the way Inherit the legacy left by the mysterious man." Albert shrugged and said, "That guy collected a lot of valuable books and scrolls, but unfortunately he was relatively poor and didn't find many Galleons."

   "You man...you are not short of money...you should not have..." Isobel was stunned by Albert's audacity.

  Although Albert said it lightly, she actually understood it completely.

   That is Albert evacuated Voldemort's lair.

   "Of course not, I just found a random place to bury it, planning to dig it up after the mysterious man dies to inherit his inheritance."

"Will there be any danger."

"The two sides are considered deadly enmity, which can't be resolved, so it doesn't matter if you do that. It's a revenge for the last duel competition." Albert showed a look of grudges, and comforted, "There are still Potter and Dumbledore are leading the charge, and You-Know-Who can't tell that I did it, since I've burned it to ashes anyway."

  At this moment, Voldemort, who was about to come back to reduce his losses, stared blankly at the ashes in front of him, his expression froze.

  Someone used the devil's flame to completely burn the ruins, and the secret room below was not spared, and was reduced to ashes by the devil's flame.

   "Damn it, **** it, **** it all!"

  Voldemort's angry roar echoed across the night moors, and he wanted to kill even more now.
