The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 644 Birthday Present
Ada walked out of the Burrow first and headed towards Ferret Mountain, followed by Hermione and her two flaws in a daze.

The young trio were a little confused, so they really couldn't figure out what gifts couldn't be displayed at the Burrow, so they had to go to Ferret Mountain mysteriously?
Besides that, Albus Dumbledore's will haunts them too.

What secrets are hidden in the Golden Snitch?In addition to the basic function of turning off the lights, does the extinguisher have any other functions?There is also this "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", which Hermione and Harry have never heard of before.

This is a collection of fairy tales, equivalent to "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Andersen's Fairy Tales" in the wizarding world. Naturally, Hermione and Harry, who grew up in the Muggle world, had never heard of them.

If it weren't for Ada's wide range of reading, she would not be as familiar with the stories in it as Ron.

When the four of them walked to the hidden place of Ferret Mountain, Ada finally stopped. This place is hidden from the wind, even if it is set on fire, it will not be seen by others.

Harry was finally able to unravel the doubts in his heart, he asked in confusion, "Ada, why are we here?"

"Of course it's your birthday present." Ada said naturally, "RAB, he is my birthday present to you."

Hearing the name, Harry was so overjoyed that he walked lightly.Ron and Hermione beside him were also very pleasantly surprised, and the three asked in unison, "Who is he? We haven't found it after searching for a long time!"

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us. He is someone we should have noticed but ignored." Ada sighed, "Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius' younger brother."

"He's been dead for years, I've heard Sirius mention it," Harry said loudly, "but isn't he a Death Eater?"

Ada opened her handbag again and took out the locket hidden in the bag.

She went on to say: "Regulus used to be a Death Eater, but who didn't do a few wrong things when he was young! Fortunately, he woke up in time and broke away from this dark organization before his death, and took the Si Lytlin's locket."

"You mean, Regulus Black stole Voldy—"

"Hush!" Ada interrupted Harry, not letting him say the title of Voldemort, "Don't say his name casually."

The three of Harry were stunned again, they didn't understand why Ada suddenly became timid.Harry asked, "Why? Dumbledore called him by his name, too, and you used to."

"Dumbledore and I can beat him, which of you three can do it?" Ada asked back.With one word to death, Harry, Ron, and Hermione fell silent.

Ada handed the locket to Harry, and continued: "There is magic in his name. If you call out his name, he will know your approximate location and find you. Bravery is a good thing. But distinguish between what is brave and what is reckless."

"Also, does calling his name prove that you are braver than others?"

Saying Voldemort's name does require courage that ordinary people do not have, but at the same time, it has to face more dangers.Courage is foolish recklessness if it fails to deal with the risks that come with it.

Harry was silent, and kept rubbing the locket in his hand.

Although he is a little reckless and stubborn, most of the time he can still listen to other people's suggestions.The reason why he didn't speak was because he thought of Dumbledore again.

Dumbledore died because of the fake locket (Harry always thought so), but the real locket was with them, and they even threw it away as trash.

Hearing the name of Regulus Black and remembering who he was, memories of 12 Grimmauld Place came flooding back.

Not only Harry, but Hermione and Ron also thought of the glass cabinet in the living room.The three of Harry had seen this locket a long time ago, in that glass cabinet, mixed among a pile of dark magic objects.

"What should we do now, destroy it?" Hermione asked, she already knew what a Horcrux was from Harry, but neither Harry nor she knew how to destroy a Horcrux.

In other words, they thought of ways to destroy Horcruxes too complicatedly.

After all, the Horcrux is a magical item that can revive Voldemort and allow him to see forever. It is not introduced in black magic masterpieces such as "Toxic Magic", and the three of Harry naturally think about the Horcrux very complicatedly.

But in fact, the method of destroying the Horcrux is surprisingly simple, all it takes is a Fierce Fire Curse.

Ada opened her handbag for the third time and took out a small wooden box, which contained the basilisk fangs she had prepared in advance.The basilisk's venom can corrode Horcruxes, which is simpler than the Fierce Fire Curse.

"Open it and stab it with the basilisk's fangs, it's as simple as that." Ada held the fangs in her backhand, as if holding a sharp saber, "Which one of you three will come?"

The young trio looked at each other for a while, and after a while of eye exchange, it was Harry who reached out and took the fang, and the task of destroying the locket fell to him.

With the locket in his left hand and the basilisk fang in his right, Harry took a few steps away, his steps a little heavy.

Putting the locket on the ground, Harry, who was half squatting, held Fang with his backhand and cleared his throat.Harry squinted and hissed in Parseltongue, and the locket's little gold lid snapped open.

Behind the two little glass windows was a live eye blinking, bright and black, like before Tom Riddle's eyeballs turned red and pupils became a line.

The next thing Harry had to do was let his fangs go into the locket and destroy those dark, dark eyes, and it would be over.

However, the Horcrux is the carrier of Voldemort's soul fragments. It is evil and good at deceiving people. How could it be willing to be destroyed so easily.Those black eyes began to move at high speed, very much like Moody's blue magic eyes.

The black eyes in the horcruxes are spying into Harry's inner world, trying to find his demons so that he can't destroy himself.

Ada and the other three in the distance couldn't see the vision in the locket. They could only see Harry holding his fangs high above his head, his hands trembling slightly, and he didn't stab the locket for a long time.

The fingers holding Fang moved a little, Harry's hands stopped shaking, he was ready.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from the Horcrux, with a palpitating hiss.The Horcrux changed its target and began to bewitch the three Adas in the distance, hoping that the three would rush forward to stop Harry.

"I see your heart, Esmeralda Drizzt. I see what you really think, are you really willing to obey Dumbledore's orders? Look at this boy, he is reckless, he is stupid, he Proud and arrogant, he is inferior to you in every way, but he is the savior, the 'Boy Who Lived', are you really willing?"

This is what Ada heard. Instead of being bewitched by the words, she wanted to laugh.

Whether Harry is the son of prophecy or the savior of the world, that is Harry in the eyes of others and has nothing to do with Ida.

In Ida's eyes, Harry is his stupid junior, a friend of his stupid brother Ron, and a boyfriend of his stupid sister Ginny.Harry was Harry, and only Harry.

Looking sideways at the people around her, Hermione seemed to be wearing a mask of pain, her lips were tightly pressed into a line, and tears welled up in her eyes.Ron didn't shed tears, his face turned into a fan-shaped picture.Half of it was mad and hateful, as if it wanted to rush up and knock Harry down with a punch; the other half was twisted into a ball, struggling to keep itself from moving.

At this moment, Harry's raised hands fell suddenly, and the basilisk's fangs pierced the locket!
A black, substance-like mist rushed out from the locket, and Tom Riddle's ferocious face could be faintly seen in the mist.Harry was overwhelmed by the mist, his glasses fell off, and he reached out and groped helplessly on the ground.

As we all know, when myopia reaches a certain level, the myopia who take off their glasses are no different from being blind.

Ron, who was awake, rushed over in three steps and two steps, dragging his best friend away from the black mist.Hermione raised her wand too, and Harry's glasses flew into her hand.

With a roar of unwillingness, pain, and resentment, the evil and ominous black mist was blown away by the wind in the mountain, leaving only the tattered locket.

Voldemort is missing another Horcrux.
