As a descendant of Slytherin, Gaunt, one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, can also be regarded as a rich ancestor.
But their family is not very smart, and is known for being restless and violent.
the reason is simple:
Purebloods all value bloodlines, especially the Gaunts.
In order to keep the family blood pure, Gaunt often chooses to marry a member of his own family.
Not only that, they even encouraged this behavior and even had "German Orthopedics" and took pride in it.
A Gaunt family history is a history of incest, no exaggeration at all.
The long-term inbreeding also caused the wizards of the Gaunt family to be short-tempered.
This character trait is more pronounced from generation to generation. They lack rationality and especially like luxurious pomp.
Therefore, as early as a hundred years ago, the property accumulated by the family for nearly a thousand years was squandered and completely ruined.
Huge family, proud of inbreeding, also declined because of inbreeding.
Standing at the door of the broken room, William was still squinting, carefully observing the door knocker of the Ouroboros.
The knocker looked worn, but it gave William a very uncomfortable feeling.
Dumbledore did not speak, waiting for him to observe silently.
William nodded with his wand and said cautiously: "There is a strong curse on it. If you touch it casually, you will be killed directly."
"That's right." Dumbledore exclaimed: "The difference between seeing and observing is obvious.
Many wizards do not have this ability.
William, you have come a long way in the realm of magic. "
"Professor, this knocker is the key to our entry. But curses are not my area of expertise, can you crack it?"
William is best at alchemy and ancient demons, and he has little research on curses.
However, some time ago, I often saw Hermione holding the curse that he borrowed from the restricted area, secretly studying, and she didn't know who she wanted to curse.
But it doesn't matter, Hermione curses no one who will curse him, right?
This little confidence, William still has.
Dumbledore looked at the knocker and shook his head: "Tom likes things with a curse. Those Horcruxes are, in a sense, a curse.
He definitely didn't want others to enter this old house easily, and cast a lot of spells on it. "
"If you give me a little longer, maybe I can crack it completely, but we are running out of time now"
William pondered for a moment, then analyzed: "Tom left the door knocker, it can't be just to kill the approaching wizard."
"Occasionally he may also go in to check on his big treasure, indicating that this knocker can open the door of the house, and probably requires a special password."
"Parseltongue!" William's eyes lit up.
"That's right." Dumbledore smiled: "This is obviously a reference to the design of the Chamber of Secrets.
Tom is the heir to Slytherin, and naturally he wants to show this to others.
Even if he doesn't think that someone can find the secret room, let alone this place. "
A tribute to Slytherin, whether it's Voldemort or Tom, always come up with something new!
Neither William nor Dumbledore can speak Parseltongue, but Harry, the tool man, can.
William took out an Oxford dictionary from the security table and looked it up carefully.
During last term, William had nothing to do, so he asked Harry to read it in Parseltongue according to the Oxford dictionary, and coded it according to the page number of the dictionary.
William has collected a lot of high-frequency words and beautiful sentences, all of which are stored in the crystal ball.
Even Zaun's quotes had Harry recording some along with them.
Just so that one day, when he is on the line with Voldemort, it will come in handy.
When Voldemort heard the Parseltonian version of "I am your father", I wonder if he would be very happy.
William quickly found what he was looking for.
"Open the door!" Harry hissed from the crystal ball.
Ouroboros' eyes flickered, and suddenly came to life, turning into a living creature shaped like a basilisk.
It swam out, spit out a silver key, put it in its mouth, raised its little head, and shook its tail towards William as if taking credit.
William took the silver key, but did not find the lock.
"I think" said Dumbledore suddenly. "We have to pay to find the lock."
"The price?" said William. "You have to give this snake something?"
"Yes," said Dumbledore, "if I'm not mistaken, blood."
"Blood?"
"Yes, Tom wants visitors to enter in a way that weakens him," Dumbledore said.
"It's really low. Tom has never grown up in his life."
There was contempt, even disappointment, in his tone, as if Voldemort had fallen short of his expectations.
"Voldemort never understood that there are many things more terrible than physical damage."
Like the life of a loved one?
William shrugged.
At this point, the **** of death is very smart, and it takes two people who are as close as brothers to obtain the Deathly Hallows!
Dumbledore didn't know where, and took out a fruit knife.
""
William seriously doubted whether the principal was still carrying bananas or the like with him.
What a fruit monster!
Dumbledore was about to tap his wrist when William stopped him aloud: "Wait Professor."
"What's the matter?" said Dumbledore suspiciously. "William, are you going to use your blood?"
"No!" William quickly waved his hand and took out a small bottle from the safety watch.
"I have fresh Basilisk blood, I don't know if I can use it?"
William's tone was as if he had just milked the milk in the morning and forgot to finish it.
Well, the blood was only released in the morning. It has become a habit to wake up the basilisk every few days, take some blood, and let it continue to sleep.
William thinks the basilisk himself doesn't feel well if he doesn't bled every few days, doesn't he?
"If it doesn't work, I still have dragon blood, civet blood, eight-eyed giant spider blood, and Lou Wei's blood. There are all kinds of flavors. There is always one suitable for it, right?"
""
It turns out that the door knocker is not so particular, as long as it contains magical blood.
William chose the blood of the least valuable eight-eyed giant spider and splashed it on the door knocker.
The blood turned into dots and infiltrated the door ring, turning it into a door lock.
Dumbledore put the key inside and twisted it lightly.
With a creak, the door opened.
The two walked in.
The house was filled with thick darkness, and I could not see my fingers.
Both wands light up at the same time.
The old Gaunt house was indescribably filthy, with thick spiders on the ceiling and a pile of rusted pots on the table.
The ground was dark and dusty.
There's still a row of footprints!
The time of the footprints doesn't seem to be short, and there is dust again, but the thickness is not as deep as the two sides.
"It seems that someone has come one step ahead of us." Dumbledore didn't look very good.
The house consists of three small rooms, the large one in the middle doubles as a kitchen and living room, and two other doors lead to other rooms.
The two followed the footprints and walked towards one of the houses.
After entering, William was stunned.
