Chapter 269: Wanna go on a trip?
"I can't believe it..." Daphne said.
"Which part?" Harry asked.
"The part where you decided to go all vigilante and hunt down those men."
"Death Eaters, and... I only managed to hunt down one of them before I got stuck again." Harry clarified.
"You went alone to raid the ancient home of a pureblood wizard family... you do know how dangerous that was, right?" Daphne exclaimed.
"Are you seriously worried? You know that I can take care of myself."
"I know you are strong, but you are not invincible... no one is." Daphne said.
"I assure you... I am very much aware of my lack of invincibility. More than you can imagine..." Harry said the last part in a low tone. "Now... I did my part. Now, can you answer my previous question?"
"About Pansy?... Why are you looking for her?" She stared at him with knowing eyes. "You think she is going to take you to her father?"
"At this point, she may be my only way to reach the rest of them. Other than assaulting the Ministry of Magic." Harry told her.
"She may not be my best friend... but she does not deserve to be used like that." Daphne had a serious look on her face.
"I don't like it either. But what else can I do? Wait for Parkinson to organize another attack on the school? Maybe next time he will send people to my house. I already tried following my father's advice and taking things slow... it doesn't work for me." Harry said.
"Riddle... and what did he do in that cave?"
"That's what I want to find out. Why don't we go take a look?" Harry suggested.
"You must have known about this place for a long time... why bring it up now? Why haven't you gone there before?" Dumbledore asked what was on his mind at the moment.
Harry shrugged. "There was no point. Back then, we were looking for the Horcruxes... but there is something else I want to check this time around." Harry said.
"I see." Dumbledore sighed. "Very well, I will accompany you there." He stood up from his chair.
"I assume you want to depart as soon as possible, considering how little time we have left."
Harry pulled his wand out and held his left arm in the air.
"Hold on to it... we are leaving now."
"It was a good thing I was yet to put on my pajamas." Dumbledore commented.
"Yeah... it may be a bit cold for that." Harry said as the old Headmaster grabbed his arm.
"Let us go then."
Harry lifted his wand up and the next instant... they were gone.
When they opened their eyes, they were on a rocky cliff. It was a cold and windy night. And as usual in these parts of the country... it was raining.
Dumbledore made a noise of displeasure before using some magic to protect himself from the weather.
"Lovely place this is..."
"Yes, he knew how to choose them." Harry pointed ahead, towards a darker area in the rocky walls. "If my memory doesn't fail me... the cave should be over there."
"Let us proceed with caution then. If this cave was used by the individual that you claimed, then I have no doubts about the presence of powerful protections." Dumbledore warned him.
