v4 Chapter 123： lost resurrection stone

Dumbledore told William a story.

About his sister... Ariana.

To put it simply: Ariana was six years old when she was attacked by three Muggle boys, went mad and became a silent one.

Then, Dumbledore's father punished three Muggles by being imprisoned in Azkaban, where he died tragically; his mother was also killed by his runaway sister.

William is silent, this is really... Les Miserables.

"After my mother died, as the eldest brother, I had to take care of a disabled younger sister and a willful younger brother." Dumbledore's voice trembled, but he did not stop.

The old man hadn't said it for a long time, maybe he never told anyone.

"I hated it all at the time, William."

"I have talent, I'm good. I want to get away. I want to excel."

"Yes, I love them, I love my parents, I love my younger siblings, but I love myself more..."

"I selfishly think I'm stuck, wasting my time and wasting my talent!

Later, he came.

Gellert Grindelwald, without the slightest guard, without the slightest scruple, appeared in my world like this..."

"I hit it off with him and quickly became best friends...closer than a brother.

We made a blood alliance and swore never to hurt each other. "

"We made a pilgrimage route to find the mystery of prehistoric... That summer, I spent those years, the most joyful and unforgettable time.

I, neglected my sister.

Aberforth found me and quarreled with me. "

"The quarrel escalated into a duel, Grindelwald lost control and cast the Cruciatus on Aberforth, and I wanted to stop him.

The three of us started fighting... I don't know whose curse, accidentally killed Ariana..."

Dumbledore opened his eyes, tears streaming down his face, and his face was full of sorrow.

"I'm such a fool, William.

After so many years, I thought I had grown, but I still didn't make any progress.

I want the Deathly Hallows, I want the Resurrection Stone, even if it's a Horcrux, even if the spell on it might kill me.

I really want to...really want to...meet Ariana, my mother, my father and tell them how remorseful I am..."

The old man's voice was bleak, like William and Hermione, the persimmon tree planted in the small yard in San Capor Village.

Empty in winter, only the trees are full of dead branches.

William sighed, he was silent for a long time, and stood up gently.

He picked up the wand that was suspected of being the Deathly Hallows, put it back in Dumbledore's hand, and helped the old man clench his palm before walking towards Slytherin's ring alone.

William released the little black robe, which wandered around, but did not dare to approach the ring.

"No... no soul..." It twisted its stiff neck. "Only... the curse..."

William frowned and tapped the ring with his wand.

For a moment, he raised his head, unable to tell whether his tone was annoyed or angry: "Professor Dumbledore, we have been... deceived!"

Dumbledore had regained his composure, he walked quickly, and his pupils shrank sharply.

The Slytherin ring was gone, and under William's Manifestation Charm, it became a... an opal necklace.

William is no stranger to this string of opal necklaces, having seen it at Borgin-Bock.

The necklace has a strong curse, and according to the warning sign, it has killed nineteen Muggles.

Someone deliberately bought a necklace, turned it into a Slytherin ring with Transfiguration, and placed it in Gaunt's old house, waiting for later people to touch it.

who did it?

Very clear.

It could only be... young Tom Riddle.

It seems that after he left Hogwarts, he did not go to Ilvermorny immediately, but first attached to Lockhart and came to Gaunt's old house.

The real Horcrux and resurrection stone have been taken away by Tom!

"I have a question." William frowned and said, "Professor, how did Tom know that the ring is in Gaunt's old house. He is obviously the first Horcrux, right?"

Dumbledore thought for a moment and explained softly:

"I gathered some intelligence and old newspapers...the summer when Tom was sixteen, there was a murder in Little Hangleton.

Old Tom Riddle and his parents died mysteriously at home. "

William frowned and said in surprise, "Tom killed him? Was he only sixteen at the time?"

"William, you have to remember that it was only a few months before that summer vacation that Tom opened the Chamber of Secrets and caused Myrtle's death."

Dumbledore's voice was hoarse and said softly:

"It's not the first time for Tom to kill someone, he doesn't have any burdens."

"In other words, when the murder was carried out, Tom made a diary, a Horcrux?"

"Probably." Dumbledore nodded and guessed:

"I think he should have found out how to make Horcruxes and spells in "Deciphering the Edge of Black Magic" in the ** area."

William narrowed his eyes and did not speak.

Killing his father to pay homage to the first half of his life... The diary just recorded the first half of his life.

For Tom, it must be very memorable and ceremonial.

This operation is really Tom!

"That's when he found Slytherin's ring?" William asked again.

"That's right, Tom's uncle, Morfin, confessed that he was the murderer who killed old Tom.

He had a criminal record, which the Ministry of Magic easily believed.

The only thing that disturbed Morfin was that his father's ring was missing. He repeatedly told his captors, 'I lost my ancestral ring and he's going to kill me. ’”

William shuddered. He has also killed a lot of werewolves, but not to mention that those guys are in wolf form, he has also concocted countless kidnapping cases and deliberately created werewolves.

And Tom killed his father and grandparents, and then put the blame on his uncle.

Most importantly, he obviously had already thought about the second Horcrux object before making the diary.

- Slytherin's ring!

After all, the Dark Lord loves the sense of ritual, and Slytherin's ring is undoubtedly very...feeling.

It's a pity that Tom doesn't want to be an artist with long ponytails.

Dumbledore crouched down and looked closely at the curse on Lockhart.

"A strong curse, but not on the opal necklace, it should be on the Horcrux. After Lockhart touched the ring, he was hit by the curse and was abandoned by Tom."

Dumbledore waved his wand and turned Lockhart over.

"Dumbledore, Stark... have you finally found this? Do you like the little present I gave you?"

All around, Tom's mocking voice suddenly came.

William glanced at Lockhart's body, presumably after touching it, triggering the magic that Tom left on purpose.

Immediately afterwards, the cold wind rushed, and the white gem on the top of the house suddenly burst into white light.

The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and a large number of snowflakes fell, which seemed to freeze the people in the room to death.

Dumbledore looked at the falling snow, raised his hand and waved it lightly. The flying snow in the sky was like hitting a stove, and it all melted at a height of two meters away.

William looked at the snowflakes with a complicated expression. He took out a handkerchief and rolled up the opal necklace on the ground.

Don't do it for nothing... It's not cheap anyway, and it's worth researching.

Otherwise, the journey will be fruitless.

However, this cannot hide one thing: the two were played by Tom.

He left a fake ring and all kinds of magic, just waiting for the two Yin to avenge the last time.

Sixteen-year-old Tom Riddle was indeed much trickier than Voldemort.
