Riddle House.

This is Tom’s father’s old home, quietly located in Little Hangleton.

With a crisp”pop”, Harry and Dumbledore appeared here together in an instant.

The building looked particularly desolate. From its appearance, it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time.

They stood quietly at the slightly dilapidated door of the old house.

Harry’s face was calm. He waved his hand lightly and quickly applied anti-magic magic and body protection-stone skin to himself and Dumbledore at the same time.

In an instant, a layer of light light enveloped them, adding powerful magic resistance and physical resistance to the two.

Because no matter what kind of ambush, mechanism or trap there is here, its manifestation is ultimately nothing more than two types.

One is magic attack, and the other is physical attack.

Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, silently felt the enhancement magic that Harry cast on himself, then opened his eyes and said to Harry with emotion:”You always surprise me in this way. In terms of talent, perhaps Tom and I are far inferior to you.”

Harry waved his hands quickly and said modestly:”It’s not that exaggerated. I’m just trying to catch up with your footsteps.”

Dumbledore showed him a gentle and kind smile, then turned his head to look at the slightly gloomy old house, and slowly said:”I didn’t detect any obvious magical fluctuations in it.”

Harry nodded vigorously and responded:”I didn’t feel it either, but after all, we are facing a trap left by Tom in his heyday, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

“That’s a very reasonable statement.”Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly and said in agreement.

Harry lowered his head at this time, his eyes fixed on the messy grass in the house.

Harry waved his wand with a focused look, and a dazzling yellow light shot out instantly, spreading rapidly like ripples, and in the blink of an eye, it covered all the grass on the ground.

Dumbledore watched Harry’s operation with interest. He neither stopped it nor asked anything, but just watched quietly.

The yellow light soon spread and covered the entire grass, and then gradually disappeared. However, there was no special sign on the grass.

“There were no footprints on the grass, nor was there any trace of smell. No one should have been here in the past six months.”Harry looked around carefully and said slowly.

“This detection spell is very well performed.” Dumbledore nodded slightly and clapped his hands gently to express his appreciation.

“Maybe Tom doesn’t want to go back to this place.”Dumbledore stared at the house, his eyes revealing a hint of complex emotions, and he sighed lightly and said.

Harry nodded, and asked a question with a hint of doubt in his eyes:”He worships pure blood, but he is a half-blood. Can’t even a person like him face this kind of dark history?”

However, without waiting for Dumbledore to answer, he answered the question as if talking to himself:”Because this is just one of his slogans, a slogan that can gather people’s hands. In fact, pure blood or not is not important at all, the key is still the interests!”

“There are more and more half-blood wizards, and the cake that pure-bloods can get needs to be divided. This is why those pure-blood wizards are willing to follow him, right?”After saying that, Harry turned his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was slightly stunned. He followed Harry and slowly walked to the door. After a long while, he slowly said:”The depth and accuracy of his view of the problem is not what a 14-year-old child can have.”At this time, Dumbledore’s face was full of emotion and amazement.

“Haha, I told my master everything about Tom in detail.”Harry raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

“He despised Tom’s behavior. Do you know how he evaluated Tom?”Harry looked at Dumbledore with a sly smile in his eyes. Dumbledore’s eyes flashed with curiosity. He was naturally clear about the chef Harry mentioned. The chef from China, Peng Yingzong

“What did you say?” Dumbledore asked

“He is nothing but a clown jumping around. If any Chinese person who has learned a little bit of Sun Tzu’s Art of War were in his position, he would never cause such a bad thing. It would be easy for him to control the wizarding world peacefully and quietly.”Harry said vividly.

After listening, Dumbledore could only smile bitterly.

He did not continue to ask on this issue. After all, he did not know much about Chinese culture. He really could not make an accurate judgment on Peng Yingzong’s”outrageous remarks”.

At this time, Harry waved his hand casually, and the door slowly opened automatically.

Suddenly, a rotten and moldy smell, like an impatient wolf, went straight into his nose the moment the door was pushed open.

There is the smell of rotting wood, as well as the unpleasant smell of rotting vegetables, fruits and meat.

This time it was Dumbledore’s turn to wave the wand in his hand, and the powerful magic power quickly and directly submerged the entire house like a surging tide, carefully checking every corner:”No magic traps were found in the house.”

“It seems that we may have found the wrong place. Tom may not want to return to this place!”Harry frowned slightly and said with some disappointment, while a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Dumbledore showed an expression of noncommittal.

After the two carefully checked the house, they finally found a clue on the second floor.

“There are obvious signs of people living on the second floor. The dust in the room has been swept, and, you see, there are even bloodstains on the ground. Although the bloodstains have dried up, judging from these traces, it should not have been too long!”Harry squatted down, gently rubbing the dried bloodstains on the ground with his hands, his expression focused and sharp.

“Hmm? What is this?”Harry’s sharp eyes, like a hawk, suddenly found a small scale in the gap between the wooden boards on the ground.

“Snake scales!” Dumbledore came over and said with certainty after a careful observation.

“You mean, there’s a snake following Tom now?” Harry looked at the scales in his hand, frowned slightly and said

“There is at least one snake, but I think there should be others as well.” Dumbledore nodded slightly and said

“So, this snake attacked someone, and it might even have swallowed the person whole.” Harry nodded thoughtfully.

Dumbledore nodded:”This possibility is indeed very high.”

Harry heard this and waved his hand. The detection spell was cast again, and several footprints flashing yellow light appeared on the ground.

“There is only one footprint, and judging by its size, it belongs to an adult man. Harry stared at the footprint for a few seconds and said

“It seems that you are right, Tom does have someone helping him.” Harry glanced at Dumbledore,”Is there anyone worthy of suspicion?”

“Too many.” Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, saying that he couldn’t think of who it was for a while. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“So what has Tom’s state been restored to now? Is he still in the vapor state like in the first grade, attached to the back of the man’s head?”Harry showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Both of them knew that Tom was not dead yet. They did not think it was strange that he had appeared here before.

After all, they came here mainly to find Tom’s Horcrux. Of course, if they could meet Tom again, Dumbledore and Harry would definitely not mind letting Tom die again.

Harry carefully placed the snake scale in his cloth bag. Then, they searched the second floor in detail again, but did not find any items with soul fragments.

“Is there anything else suspicious?” Harry looked at Dumbledore with a questioning look in his eyes.

“There is another one, the old house of the Gaunt family, that is Tom’s mother’s family.”Dumbledore nodded and slowly said the second address.

“The source of Tom’s bloodline.”Harry couldn’t help but sigh,”There’s a high chance that there are Horcruxes in that place.”

There was a rather short wooden house outside the mansion, and Harry and Dumbledore naturally did not miss it.

This dilapidated little house was more alive than the mansion.[]

However, perhaps because no one had lived here for a long time, dust had accumulated here for several months, making the whole house look particularly dilapidated.

Their eyes fell on the second floor, and they were all wondering who the dead person was. The answer was actually about to come out.

They carefully checked the things in the wardrobe and drawers, which contained photos of the owner of the wooden house.

From the photo, this person looked much older than Dumbledore.

Dumbledore stared at the photo and couldn’t help but sighed with emotion:”Maybe I will look like this when I die.”

After hearing this, Harry shook his head firmly and said,”No.”

Dumbledore turned his head and looked at him puzzledly.

“With your current strength and status, as long as you don’t do anything weird, I guarantee you will have an urn after you die.” Harry continued to carefully check the house and said slowly,”Of course, there will be a cemetery. I promise you that even if your relatives don’t want to take care of these, I will still be there.”

Hearing this, Dumbledore smiled very brightly:”Haha, this is really the best news I have heard in these years.”

At this time, his eyes were full of relief and touching.
