Harry felt the damp sea breeze blowing against his face and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Recently, he has been under a lot of pressure.
He felt it was really ridiculous to be jealous of Lucas getting a lot of attention now.
Once Lucas left, everyone turned their attention back to him, and he realized how heavy it was to carry everyone's expectations.
In the past 20 days, he often saw other people looking at him. And every time he meets with members of the Order of the Phoenix, the pressure on him doubles.
But now this gust of sea breeze has blown away the pressure he has been feeling for many days.
"Professor, where are we going to find the Horcrux?"
Dumbledore watched the boy beside him carefully and could feel that he had changed.
The whole person looks much more relaxed than before, which is a good thing.
"Harry, do you mind getting your clothes wet?"
Harry shook his head puzzled.
"In that case, just follow me!"
Before the words were finished, Dumbledore jumped off the cliff's top.
Harry was shocked, and looked down, only to find that there were still several places to step under the cliff.
Letting go of his worries, Harry followed Dumbledore's footsteps to the bottom of the cliff.
"Harry, we have to swim in!"
After saying that, Dumbledore dived into the water and swam along the bottom crevice.
The cavern under the cliff had been destroyed by Lucas' Fiendfyre.
But since Lucas got the Eye of Time, he can see through the past and the future, so he ordered the members of the Saints to renovate the place.
The overall look was no different from when Lucas came.
It's just that those inferis are gone from the lake.
Harry followed the light on the wand in front of him all the way to the cave.
Watching the magic on the walls, Dumbledore's heart broke and he cut his palm.
Blood stained the wall, and the door to the Horcrux hiding place opened again.
"Harry, let's go in."
Dumbledore's voice sounded a little weak from the bloodshed.
The two did the same as Lucas back then.
Passed through the round magic door and came into a dark cave.
"Professor, where is it?"
"Look there, Harry," Dumbledore pointed to the center of the lake.
"That glowing green light should be where the Horcrux is."
Harry looked around, but saw no way of reaching the center.
Dumbledore seemed to be planning to use this incident to teach him something.
From how to find the boat to setting foot on the small island in the middle of the lake, Dumbledore's mouth basically never stopped.
He also didn't know how much Harry could remember from such a force-feeding of knowledge.
Dumbledore just wanted to give him some help before he died.
"Professor, isn't this just water?"
Looking at the transparent liquid in the stone basin, Harry asked suspiciously, but Dumbledore shook his head.
"There should be a potion in it, get out of the way."
He drew out his wand and used several spells in succession.
Looking at the unchanged stone basin, he said with emotion: "It seems that Voldemort doesn't want us to get the Horcrux inside easily."
In fact, he was praising the subtlety of Lucas's spell in his heart.
"Professor, what shall we do now?"
"Looks like Voldemort wants us to drink the potion."
Hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Harry's heart sank.
Drink it? Although Harry didn't know what the potion was, he also knew that the trap set by Voldemort would definitely not be as simple as making people have diarrhea.
He glanced at the old man beside him and knew very well in his heart that the Headmaster would never let him drink the potion in the basin.
tick tick~
The sound of water droplets falling from the top of the cave could be clearly heard.
Since Dumbledore said that, the two of them stared at the potion in the stone basin and neither spoke.
After a long time, Harry said anxiously: "Professor, let me drink it."
Dumbledore showed relief in his eyes: "No, let me drink it, you can't bear the power of this potion."
He finished speaking in a brisk tone, and then picked up the shell next to him.
But Dumbledore didn't see it.
Just as he turned around to take the shell, Harry's eyes suddenly relaxed, and he even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On the seventh floor of Hogwarts, Draco had been waiting in the Room of Requirement for a long time.
In front of him was the vanishing cabinet that had been repaired.
20 days.
Enough for the Death Eaters to re-link the two Vanishing Cabinets together.
The second hand of the pocket watch kept turning and Draco clenched his fists nervously.
At this moment, there was a knocking sound from inside the cabinet, so he hurried forward and opened the door.
A slender, crazy-looking woman stepped out of the cabinet.
"Thank you Draco, oh~ I really missed Hogwarts!"
After Bellatrix finished speaking, she realized that the huge room was empty.
She looked back to the back of the Vanishing Cabinet and saw that the situation was the same.
"Draco, what is this place?"
"The Room of Requirements on the seventh floor," Draco calmly replied.
But under his calm appearance, he was very tense.
It was only when he came to the Room of Requirements just now that he discovered that the Vanishing Cabinet was placed alone in the center of the room.
Before there were still some piles of rubbish, but he didn't know where they went at the moment.
Not to mention the suspicious Bellatrix, even Draco wondered if there was a trap or an ambush in this room.
Bellatrix looked around to make sure there was nothing abnormal before she was relieved.
At this time, other Death Eaters also came out of the cabinet one after another.
When Draco saw Fenrir Greyback, the leader of the werewolves, walk out of the cabinet, the expression on his face became quite ugly.
This bloodthirsty werewolf likes to bite minor wizards the most.
Letting him enter Hogwarts can really be said to be like leading a wolf into a herd of sheep.
"Draco, where is the Order of the Phoenix?"
"Two are guarding the gate in the foyer, and the others are near the entrances of the four Houses."
Bella laughed softly: "In this case, let's get rid of them first, Draco, don't forget your mission."
Reminding her nephew, she led the Death Eaters out of the Room of Requirement in a mighty way.
Whether it is the Order of the Phoenix or the professors, they never thought that Death Eaters would invade the school.
Because Hogwarts is protected by ancient magic, there is a high price to pay for trespassing.
So members of the Order of the Phoenix who let down their vigilance were caught off guard.
Waiting until everyone has left the Room of Requirements, Lucas lifted the invisibility cloak covering his body.
The invisibility cloak is worthy of being a Deathly Hallows, not only can it make him perfectly invisible, but it can also hide the user's aura.
Even Lucas's magic perception can be blocked.
No wonder it is said in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" that the invisibility cloak can even avoid death.
Putting away the invisibility cloak, Lucas came to the Vanishing Cabinet.
This thing is always a hidden danger and must not be left behind.
He stretched out his palm to pat the cabinet door lightly, and it immediately fell backwards.
At the same time, a void fissure appeared behind the cabinet, swallowing it in the blink of an eye.
The Vanishing Cabinet, which was made of no special material, was quickly crushed by the power of the void.
Doing all this, Lucas put on the invisibility cloak again and headed towards the Astronomy Tower.
Although he had given the Soul Pill to Dumbledore.
But Dumbledore could not escape Death without his assistance.
This is not what he wants to see.
Lucas also planned to pack Dumbledore back to Nurmengard while his soul was separated from his body.
When he left Nurmengard to start his first year at Hogwarts, he swore to himself that he would tie Dumbledore and send him back to his old man.
He doesn't know what his dad's expression will be when he sees Dumbledore appearing in front of his eyes.
But he wanted to see Dumbledore wake up and find himself in Nurmengard even more.
Lucas showed a playful smile and climbed up the tower step by step.
Of course, except for his bad taste. The reason he went through so much trouble was in large part because of the Elder Wand.
How could Dumbledore willingly hand over the Elder Wand to him if he knew he didn't have to die?
If Lucas can't get the Elder Wand, how can he complete the last series achievement?
He has been thinking about the diamond lottery for a long time.
Whether he can solve the anti-magic power on his body depends on this lottery draw.
Arriving at the tower, Lucas chose a place that was out of the way and had a good view.
Just as he was leaning against the wall to take a rest, the sounds of fighting and shouting came from downstairs.
Another confrontation between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters was going on.
Judging from the content of the shouts, this time it was obvious that the Order of the Phoenix was caught off guard.
…
In the cave in the cliff, Dumbledore solemnly drank the potion from the shell.
While waiting for it to take effect, he handed the shell to Harry on the side.
"Harry, no matter what I say later, you have to make me drink all the liquid in the basin, or all our previous efforts will be wasted."
Harry looked at the shell in his hand and frowned: "I see, Professor."
Just then, Dumbledore sat down on a black rock with a pained expression on his face.
