Chapter 708： Gunter family

Popular recommendation:

After a while, Fish was standing on a country road, with tall, tangled bushes and hedges on both sides, and a clear blue sky overhead. The sun was strong, and it should be summer.

About ten paces ahead, stood a short, stout man, wearing glasses with extra thick lenses, dressed in a very strange way: a striped swimsuit over a dress coat , with shoe covers on her feet...

Apparently this was another wizard who didn't know much about the Muggle world and wasn't interested in learning about it.

Fish, who had used the Pensieve to read other people's memories many times, knew that this person must be the Bob Ogden that Dumbledore said, the owner of this memory.

So he stepped forward stubbornly and looked at the wooden sign that Ogden was looking at.

There are two directional arrows on the sign, one reads: Greater Hangleton, 5 miles. Another reads: Little Hangleton, 1 mile.

The cat with a good memory pondered for a moment, and immediately remembered where this place was... The place where he and Harry were teleported by Barty with the door key was called Hangleton, which was later from Snee. Pu asked out of the mouth.

At this time, Hermione and the others also followed into Ogden's memory, and Fish immediately greeted him.

"Albus, is this person waiting to go to Voldemort's house?"

?ω?

"Why do you think so?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Because the street sign over there says Hangleton, Voldemort's father's grave should be near here, meow..." Maomao said, looking left and right. "But Fish hasn't found the cemetery yet."

"It's useless even if you find it, because old Tom Riddle isn't dead yet," Dumbledore took the three to catch up with Ogden, and explained: "To be exact, Voldemort is still alive at this time. not born."

Not only Fish, but also Harry and Hermione were lost in the lake.

"What's the use of that memory, Professor?" Harry asked suspiciously. "Voldemort hasn't been born yet, so there must be no clues about his Horcrux at this time."

"Don't be so absolute, Harry." Dumbledore shook his dark index finger and said, "Just watch it quietly, after reading Bob's memory, we will have time to discuss it slowly. ."

So Fish and Harry both shut their mouths, and followed Ogden through a lonely path into a dim wood, where Dumbledore got the Resurrection Stone's old Gaunt house.

Compared with the crumbling dilapidated house more than eighty years later, the Gaunts today are not much better.

The walls were covered with moss, and many of the roof tiles had fallen off, revealing the rafters here and there. All around the house were thick nettles, tall nettles up to the windows, which were very small and thick with old grime.

And on the door of this house, a dead snake was nailed.

While Hermione and Harry were paying attention to Ogden, Fish raised his head.

When viewing other people's memories with a Pensieve, the surrounding sounds and smells are also reproduced, even if the owner of the memory does not notice these sounds or smells.

So Fish quickly spotted the man in tattered clothes who was sitting on the branch of a tree next to him.

The man jumped from the tree and landed in front of Ogden, startling him.

"Hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

And Harry dutifully acted as a translator after being reminded by Fish.

Then, following Ogden's memory, they met Morfin, who didn't seem to speak English, Merope, who was submissive, and old Gaunt, who was short-tempered and so proud of his bloodline that he was arrogant.

Therefore, it is known that they are actually descendants of Slytherin and Peverell. As for the other bloodline Peverell mentioned by old Gaunt, even Hermione, who had rummaged through the library, didn't know who it was.

Harry looked at Merope who was beaten and scolded at will by old Gaunt, but did not dare to resist, and felt a little empathy... His previous treatment at the Dursleys was not much better than her experience.

Just as Ogden solemnly informed Morfin of the time for the trial, two young Muggles, a man and a woman, were joking and laughing outside the door. According to their communication, Fish and the others knew that the man was also called Tom.

"That's right," Dumbledore noticed the gazes from the three of them, and nodded with a smile, "that was Voldemort's father, old Tom Riddle when he was young."

"Fixu go out and see meow!"

=????(???ω???)?

The cat cat immediately ran through the wall and ran outside the house.

After a while, he ran back through the wall again.

"That man looked like Voldemort when he had a nose," said Fish, who had seen Voldemort when he was young.

However, before Hermione and Harry could ask further, old Gaunt wanted to strangle his daughter because he had fallen in love with a Muggle. And after he was stopped by Ogden, Morfin immediately waved his knife and wand and attacked Ogden.

Ogden ran away. Dumbledore motioned for them to follow.

Covering his head with his arms, Ogden dashed down the dirt road, swerved quickly into the main road, and bumped into a well-oiled burgundy horse. Harry and Hermione also saw Voldemort's father as a young man at this time.

It was a very handsome young man with dark hair, and it was hard for Harry to imagine how Voldemort had gone from a face similar to this one to the terrifying one he is now.

Tom Riddle on the red horse was startled by Ogden's sudden appearance, but soon he was laughing with the pretty girl next to him on a grey horse, because Ogden's Dressing up is so funny.

"Okay, we should leave too."

Dumbledore looked at the back of Ogden fleeing in embarrassment, said to Fish and the others, and reached out to hold Harry's elbow, while Fish also took Hermione's arm.

The two of them made a pulling action, and the four of them flew higher and higher in the darkness like weightlessness, and finally landed steadily back into Dumbledore's office, when it was pitch black outside the window.

"What happened to the girl in the log cabin?" Harry immediately asked, "Is that the one called Merope or something?" Because of what happened to the other party, Harry was very concerned about her next fate.

Dumbledore waved his wand and lit a few more lamps, and replied: "She survived. Ogden Apparated to the Ministry and returned fifteen minutes later with reinforcements. Morfin and his father stubbornly resisted. , but both were subdued and taken out of the cabin, and Wizengamore later convicted them."

He said and sat down behind the table again, and motioned to Fish and the others to sit down too. At the same time, he opened the drawer and took out some snacks and put them on the table.

"Morfin, who already had a history of assaulting Muggles, was sentenced to three years in Azkaban. Marvolo was sentenced to six months for hurting several other Ministry officials in addition to Ogden. imprisonment," he continued.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, then, following Fish's example, he took a chocolate frog from the table and nibbled it.

"So, what did you all discover from the memory just now?" Dumbledore put his elbows on the table, put his fingers together, and asked with a smile.

Fish ate his snacks intently, completely uninterested in Dumbledore's question.

Harry slowed down his chewing speed. He knew something about Voldemort's life experience, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

However, when he was about to speak, Hermione said first: "That witch named Merope... is Voldemort's mother?"

It is not uncommon to have such speculation. After all, in the memory just now, Merope was almost strangled by his father because he fell in love with Tom Riddle.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "Marvolo, his son Morfin, and his daughter Merope are the last of the Gaunt family, a very old wizarding family, known for their restlessness and violence, due to They are accustomed to marrying close relatives, and this character trait is more pronounced from generation to generation. Their lack of rationality, coupled with their particular fondness for pompous pomp, means that the family fortune was squandered several generations before the Marvolo. Exhausted."

He briefed Harry and Hermione about the Gaunt family.

"As you have seen just now, Marvolo ended up poor and terribly bad-tempered, but arrogant and conceited beyond reason, and he had two ancestral relics in his hand, which he regarded as precious as his son. , looks much more precious than his daughter."

"Voldemort turned them all into Horcruxes?" Hermione asked keenly, "The ring that hurt you, the one in old Gaunt's hand?"

"If this was in class, I would definitely give you fifty points." Dumbledore clapped his hands and praised, "Yes, Voldemort turned the ring into a Horcrux, UU Reading www.uukanshu .com and cast a vicious magic on it, and I accidentally fell for it."

He talked about his injury nonchalantly, then shook his head regretfully, and said, "Unfortunately, I couldn't find the locket around Merope's neck, not even a clue. But it was probably also made into a Horcrux by Voldemort."

"How many Horcruxes did Voldemort make?!" Hermione asked screaming.

"I don't know," Dumbledore said with a sigh, "that's what I'm most looking for right now."

"What's so difficult about this?"

(??ω??)?

Fish finally raised his head from the snack and said inexplicably, "Go and grab Voldemort and give him the Veritaserum, wouldn't it be fine, meow? Severus doesn't have a mind-busting potion that can make the brain Does Occlusion fail? It's the kind that Sirius once drank."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, he never seemed to have considered such a direct and rude method, but after being stunned for a while, he shook his head again and said, "I want to catch Voldemort, and let him have no resistance. Drinking the Veritaserum and the Mind Potion is too low a possibility, and with his expertise in Occlumency, Severus' Mind Potion might not be useful either."

"It never hurts to try."

(?`ω′?)

The cat still sticks to his plan.

Dumbledore didn't argue with him, smiled and said, "Then let's wait until later when Voldemort doesn't plan to hide." He looked at the clock on the wall, "I'll be here tonight, next time there is a new one. The story is over, and I'll let Fish inform you again."
