Hogwarts, infirmary.

Lockhart and Dumbledore sat around the bed.

And lying on the white bed was Horace Slughorn.

At this moment, Horace, looking at a plate of Lockhart and Dumbledore, twisted his body uncomfortably and complained, "I'm a potion master. I know very well that there's nothing wrong with my body."

“No treatment is really needed!”

At the end, a hint of resentment clearly appeared on Horace's fat face.

"Horace, you are so old now, don't act so foolishly." Dumbledore advised with a smile: "I heard from Lockhart that if you are cursed by Tom, it will be very troublesome."

"You should just lie in bed and observe carefully for a few days."

Lockhart chuckled, then said seriously, "I think the principal's suggestion makes a lot of sense."

"My Lord Dean, please observe carefully."

Hearing this, Slughorn looked visibly speechless.

How could he not know?

Dumbledore and Lockhart probably did this to keep him in Hogwarts in the name of observation and prevent him from running away.

However, I cannot refuse their kindness.

after all....

There is another Tom outside, watching closely.

Alas, this life is unbearable!

"Lockhart, to be honest, I really regret that I didn't pull you into the Slug Club before." Slughorn, who was helpless, quickly adjusted his mood and joked to Lockhart.

"I feel now that this is the worst thing I've done in years."

"Haha!" Dumbledore laughed after hearing this and joked, "It's not too late now."

"You can get Lockhart into the Slug Club any time you want."

After hearing this, Lockhart waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's a good suggestion. When I was in school, I was very much looking forward to the professor's Slug Club."

“Now, I also want to thank the president and Professor Horace for giving me the opportunity to realize this dream.”

When Yuan was in school, his performance in Ravenclaw College was not bad.

But, it's just a good performance.

She did not show the extraordinary genius like Lily.

And there is no powerful family behind him.

Naturally, no chance of joining the Slug Club.

Afterwards, everyone started chatting with each other.

Slughorn noticed that Dumbledore and Lockhart seemed to be getting on with the subject.

He seemed a little restless and took the initiative to say, "Dumbledore, Lockhart told you about Tom."

"How are you going to deal with it?"

Hearing what Slughorn said, Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Horace."

"We already have a detailed plan, you don't have to worry."

Hearing this, Slughorn's heart was beating so fast that he wanted to curse.

He also hoped to have a good plan to resist Tom.

Then let him escape abroad smoothly.

result...

Dumbledore was evasive in front of him.

However, he didn't say anything.

After all, his identity is somewhat sensitive. He is Tom's most trusted teacher and also holds Tom's biggest secret.

He himself felt that no matter how he looked at it, he did not seem very trustworthy.

After seeing that he couldn't get the clues he wanted from Dumbledore.

Slughorn fixed his eyes on Lockhart.

"Lockhart, I haven't seen you for a few years. I really didn't expect your strength to improve."

"This time, even the Dark Lord is no match for you."

Just after complimenting him, Slughorn's tone began to change.

"However, this time, the Dark Lord did not come in person, but was merely a puppet."

"So maybe he hasn't fully deployed his full strength."

"But, Lockhart, the Dark Lord should remember you this time."

"The next time we meet, given his personality, I'm afraid he will just do something ruthless."

"So I suggest that you should prepare in advance."

Chapter 430: Voldemort II is online (two in one)

Little Hangleton at night.

Little Hangleton was a gathering place for wizards a long time ago and was once very lively and prosperous.

Because he is a descendant of Sarah Chaslytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, and the Gaunt family lives there.

The Gaunt family was once very wealthy and prominent, and they were particularly particular about luxurious and extravagant display.

Naturally, a wizard gathering place formed with it as the center.

However, as history progressed and after experiencing many things, the Gaunt family gradually declined and was even close to extinction.

Therefore, Little Hangleton now looks very desolate.

Most of the houses are very simple, some don't even have windows, and the doors are also broken.

A thief would be so sad that he would cry at the first sight of it.

What makes people feel even more desolate is that there are hardly any young people here, only old people and children, and even then there are not many old people.

Maybe, young people have gone to cities to work.

In the dark night, the whole of Little Hangleton was dark except for a few dim candlelights occasionally.

Coupled with the sound of wind rustling through the leaves, the sparse chirping of cicadas, and unknown calls, it seems even more eerie.

At this moment, in the darkness, a figure with a wretched face and short stature walked cautiously into the depths of Little Hangleton.

The body was slightly hunched, with both hands in front of the chest, holding a dark wooden basket, and in the middle of the magnolia, there was a baby with gray body, wrinkled skin and ugly face.

"Master, we're already at the place you mentioned. What should I do next?" Peter Pettigrew asked in a low voice while standing in front of a barren meadow.

Well, the tone was cautious, mixed with fear.

At this moment in Mulan, Voldemort, who was attached to the baby's body and had not yet fully resurrected, opened his eyes.

Then, under the respectful gaze of Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort controlled the baby's body to float slowly.

He glanced at Peter Pettigrew indifferently, then fixed his gaze on the barren grass, with a hint of urgency in his eyes.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! (Gaunt appears)

Peter Pettigrew heard a hoarse, eerie, strange and evil voice, which made the timid Peter tremble all over.

It was the Dark Lord’s gift – Parseltongue!

Then, as the Parseltongue voice disappeared, the air above the barren grassland in front of them was like the surface of water, creating waves.

Soon, under the gaze of Peter Pettigrew, a slightly gloomy black manor emerged.

This is the old house of the Gaunt family.

"Go in!" the baby version of Voldemort said briefly, and returned to the basket.

He is not in good condition now and needs to save his energy. It will probably be quite exhausting to command this useless person later.

In order to protect the Horcrux, he had left many traps and curses in the old house.

Now, it has become an obstacle.

When Peter Pettigrew heard this, he immediately and obediently held the basket and walked towards the old house.

"Slow down and take the path on the left. Go twice as slow as usual. Going too fast will easily trigger traps."

“…”

"Just jump up, don't step on the stone steps, be careful of the curse."

“…”

"Don't push the door, stay away, cast the spell, activate the trap, and then go in after you disappear."

“…”

After Peter entered the manor, he could hear Voldemort's reminders in his ears every few steps.

Every reminder added fear to his weak heart.

Curses, traps, and the constant presence of death.

He was panicking inside, but his body was as stiff as a piece of wood. He dared not move at all. He did whatever his master said.

Afraid of causing death due to my own reasons.

Finally, they successfully entered a room deep inside the old house.

After his master's reminder and successfully avoiding several deadly traps, Peter Pettigrew finally reached his destination.

On a slightly decayed mahogany table, there was a half-open treasure box, and in the box was a ring inlaid with a black gemstone.

This is the Gaunt family's ancestral ring, inlaid with the Deathly Hallows - the Resurrection Stone.

When Peter Pettigrew set his eyes on the ring, almost instantly, all his attention seemed to be swallowed up by the ring.

His eyes were filled with fanatical obsession, and he reached forward to grab the ring.

"idiot!"

A curse entered Peter's ears.

At the same time, the Death Eater mark on Peter Pettigrew's arm began to glow green, and the pain of a shattered soul surged into his heart.

The whole person collapsed to the ground, his body kept twisting and wailing.

"Ah...ah..."

The extreme pain awakened Peter Pettigrew and freed him from the temptation of the death curse on the Resurrection Stone.

You know, Dumbledore was injured by this curse.

After seeing that Peter had escaped the temptation of the curse, Voldemort did not continue to activate the Death Eater Mark.

However, Peter Pettigrew, who had recovered, was still covered in cold sweat from the pain, and there were some wet sweat marks on the floor.

But at this moment, Voldemort didn't care about Peter Pettigrew.

Instead, it floated in the air and slowly flew towards the ring.

He was the one who cast the curse, so he naturally knew its power and how to break and avoid it.

Soon, a baby version of Voldemort was seen floating in the air, with a black mist emitting a dark aura all over his body.

The black mist began to gather and flew towards the ring.

Soon, the ring was wrapped and floated in front of Voldemort.

At the same time, Voldemort began to display his own talent - Parseltongue.

As a language that is well-known in the wizarding world, Parseltongue naturally has its own special features.

In addition to being able to control snake creatures with commands, every word and every sentence of Parseltongue is accompanied by magic.
