Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

After hearing the good news, Dumbledore immediately hung up the phone and prepared to rush back.

"What, are you leaving?"

"Yes, it's something important. I'll play chess with you next time."

After saying hello to the other old man, Dumbledore called Fawkes back and disappeared into the tower in a burst of sparks.

The old man's strange eyes under his white hair flickered as he looked at the chessboard in front of him.

"This old man was so anxious to move when he was clearly just one move away from losing to me. Who was he trying to fool?"

The old man muttered in dissatisfaction and took a sip of the Pu'er tea beside him.

With a wave of his hand, the chessboard was restored. The old man left his seat and walked slowly to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, gazing at the bright moon in the night sky.

When he put his hand on the window, a wave emerged and an invisible barrier blocked him.

"Everything has changed. Maybe even my old bones can go a little crazy again!"

……

A ball of sparks exploded, and Dumbledore appeared at the door of the headmaster's office, where Harry had been waiting.

Dumbledore didn't immediately ask Harry how he did it, but took Harry to the Pensieve without saying a word.

The bottle cap opened, and a wisp of silver-white magic fell into the Pensieve. The truth that Dumbledore had been looking for for a long time was right before his eyes.

After a moment, after getting what he wanted, Dumbledore looked up.

"Harry, how did you do that?" Now, it was time to satisfy his curiosity.

"I took a sip of Felicis and let luck guide me, and I took Professor Slughorn to Hagrid, who was drunk and told me about my mother.

After that, I told him about the fateful relationship between me and Voldemort. After learning everything, he gave me this memory! Teaching him was not only because of Voldemort's influence on his reputation and fear, but also because of guilt! Guilt made him unable to overcome the barrier in his heart..."

Harry slowly recounted his experiences during this period.

Dumbledore nodded after listening.

"Well done, kid. Now I think I know where to start."

"Um, Professor, can I ask, do you want to..." Harry hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question in his mind.

Seeing this, Dumbledore no longer hid his intention and directly took out the Horcrux tracker and told Harry what he was going to do.

Chapter 488 Seaside Cave

Dumbledore left again. He said he was going to find out something and would be back soon!

As for the Horcrux tracker, he left it to Harry. He wanted to try and see if Harry, who was always lucky, could find the Horcrux in the castle.

and so……

It was still the familiar Black Lake, but the friends were all gathered together, watching the needle on the tracker pointing at Harry, and fell into deep thought.

"Hey, hey, hey~ Ron, Draco! What are you two doing? Stop touching me!"

Harry dodged with horror at the two people who were trying to touch him.

"Don't talk nonsense. We are here to find out which item on your body is a Horcrux."

"The needle is pointing to you, it must be because the Horcrux is in your possession."

Ron and Draco continued to speak firmly, but their hands did not stop at all because of Harry's protests.

"Stop, how is that possible! Maybe the tracker is broken!" Harry still protested loudly.

But the protest was ineffective, and even Neville joined.

"Nonsense, I just made it not long ago, how could it be broken! Give it to me to have a look, I didn't expect that old man would actually give it to you to play with."

Ivan came over from behind, snatched the tracker, looked at the pointer, then looked at Harry, and took out his wand.

After casting several spells on the tracker, Alvin looked at Harry with a puzzled look.

Under Harry's equally puzzled gaze, Ivan poked his wand at Harry.

"Ahaha~ Why are you electrocuting me?"

"Nothing, just testing it." Ivan retracted his wand and continued to tinker with the tracker.

"See what's wrong?" Hermione asked.

Ivan put down the tracker and looked at everyone.

"Tell me, is there a possibility that the pointer is pointing to the castle behind Harry?" As he said that, Ivan walked past Harry and aimed the tracker at the castle.

This time, the tracker's pointer was still pointing in that direction, but Harry was blocking it.

"Oh~"

It turned out to be the case.

Neville, Ron and Draco let go of Harry, and they continued to study, trying to figure out where in Hogwarts such valuables could be hidden.

Ivan shook his head helplessly.

It's okay for now, just let them do whatever they want. With the two sons of prophecy here, it shouldn't be difficult to find something.

……

"Have you ever thought that your demands are too much? You take too many things for granted. Have you ever thought in your smart head that I don't want to continue doing this!"

In the Astronomy Tower, Snape questioned Dumbledore harshly.

"It doesn't matter whether I have thought about it or not. You have already agreed. There is no need to talk about it further, Severus." Dumbledore looked at Snape with a smile.

Seeing this, Snape's face darkened. He angrily threw his robe, turned into a big bat flying close to the ground, and strode out of the astronomy tower.

Harry leaned his head out from the tower stairs and bumped into Snape.

Snape looked at Harry with a cold face and complicated eyes, then said nothing and continued to walk away.

Harry was completely confused and couldn't figure out what had happened to make the old bat so angry at Dumbledore!

"You're here, Harry." Facing the wind, Dumbledore turned and looked at Harry.

"You know, sometimes I forget that you've grown up so much, and it's time to shave. You're no longer the little baby crying in my arms while grabbing my beard."

Dumbledore's face was full of emotion.

Harry chuckled and touched his chin. He was indeed starting to grow a beard, a full beard.

"Please forgive me for my long-winded lamentations about life, child." Dumbledore said as if he was mocking himself.

"How could it be, Professor? From what I can see, you haven't changed at all."

Dumbledore smiled kindly, but soon stopped. Just as he was about to say what he was going to do next, a crisp frog croaked at his feet.

“Quack~” (Θ０Θ●)!

I don't know when Quack came over, holding a bottle of light blue potion and squatting at Dumbledore's feet.

"Ah, is this the new medicine? Thank you, little one."

Dumbledore leaned over and picked up Quack, took the potion, and under Quack's serious gaze, he pulled the cork and drank it.

"Professor, what's wrong with you!" Harry started to worry when he saw Dumbledore taking medicine.

"Oh, it's okay kid, I'm just confused due to my age, and I accidentally stepped into a trap, but Alvin is almost there to help me solve it!"

Dumbledore lifted up the cursed hand and showed it to Harry. Half of the originally black palm and arm had only two fingers left that had not returned to normal.

The toxicity brought by the curse has been almost eliminated.

"I have to say, that child is the most amazing student I have ever met! It's a blessing to have such a friend, Harry."

Dumbledore patted Quack's little head and praised Ivan. He was ready to die! But the arrogant boy dragged him back from the road to death!

"Yeah, that's lucky indeed!" Harry agreed.

He simply couldn't bear to think about how terrifying someone like Alvin would be if he were an enemy!

"Okay, it's time for us to go, Harry! The place we are going to tonight is very dangerous, but I promised to take you there, and I won't break my promise! I will protect you." Dumbledore put down Crooked and said to Harry with a serious face.

"I know, I believe you, Professor." Harry did not back down. This was what he had requested before. He wanted to participate in the task of finding the Horcruxes. He felt that was what he should do.

"Okay, catch me."

"Wait, I can't Apparate in school?" Harry was confused.

"Haha, yes, but being a headmaster always has the advantages of being a headmaster." Dumbledore smiled mysteriously.

……

After the dizziness, Harry found that Dumbledore had brought him to the seaside. They were standing on a tall reef, and the surging waves were hitting their feet hard.

Following Dumbledore's gaze, Harry saw the cave.

"Is this where we're going?"

"Yes, I found out that this is a very important place for him, so he should have a Horcrux hidden here."

(Θ▽Θ): "Quack~" (I think it's possible too!)

"Guazi! Why did you follow me?" (⊙?⊙)

Harry and Dumbledore were both shocked. They had not expected that Quack had followed them, grabbing Harry's trouser leg. They had thought it had left long ago.

A smug smile appeared on Guazai's frog face. Now that I'm here, you can't chase me away!

Tonight is its turn to go home and play with the two little ancestors. It’s a rare excuse not to go back, so how could it miss it?

"Okay, then Harry, you take care of it. If things go wrong later, just run away with it! Don't be a burden to me, okay!"

Dumbledore said seriously.

Harry knew his own weight, so he nodded readily and picked up Guazi and put him on his shoulders.

The two men and the frog used magic to fly to the cave.

The moment they stepped into the cave, neither of them noticed that Quackie, who was lying on Harry's shoulder, raised his little paw and made a "yeah!" sign.

Guazi: Haha~ Let’s go on an adventure!
