Chapter 438 The Lost Resurrection Stone
Dumbledore told William a story.
About his sister...Arianna.
To put it simply: when Ariana was six years old, she was attacked by three Muggle boys, went mad and became Obscure.
Then, Dumbledore's father punished the three Muggles and was imprisoned in Azkaban, where he died tragically; his mother was also killed by his out-of-control sister.
William was speechless, this is really... Les Miserables.
"After my mother passed away, as the eldest brother, I had to take care of a disabled younger sister and a wayward younger brother." Dumbledore's voice trembled, but he didn't stop.
The old man hadn't talked about it for an indefinite amount of time, perhaps he'd never told anyone.
"I resented it all at the time, William."
"I'm talented, I'm good. I want to get away. I want to excel."
"Yes, I love them, I love my parents, I love my younger siblings, but I love myself more..."
"I selfishly thought I was stuck, wasting my time, wasting my talent!
Later, he came.
Gellert Grindelwald, without any precautions, without any worries, just appeared in my world..."
"I hit him off right away and quickly became best friends...closer than a brother.
We formed a blood bond, vowing never to harm each other. "
"We made a pilgrimage route to find prehistoric mysteries... That summer, I spent the most joyful and unforgettable time of those years.
Me, neglecting my sister.
Aberforth found me and got into an argument. "
"The argument turned into a duel, Grindelwald lost control and cast Cruciatus on Aberforth, and I wanted to stop him.
The three of us started fighting... I don't know whose spell it was, I accidentally killed Arianna..."
Dumbledore opened his eyes, with tears streaming down his cheeks and a look of grief on his face.
"What a fool I am, William.
After so many years, I thought I had grown up, but there was still no progress.
I want the Deathly Hallows, I want the Resurrection Stone, even if it's a Horcrux, even if it's cursed, it might kill me.
I really want... really want to... meet Ariana, my mother, my father and tell them how much I regret..."
The old man's voice was sad, like the persimmon tree that William and Hermione planted in the small yard of San Capol Village.
In the winter, it is empty, only the trees are full of dead branches.
William sighed, he was silent for a long time, and stood up gently.
He picked up the wand that was suspected to be the Deathly Hallows, put it back in Dumbledore's hand, and helped the old man hold his hand tightly before walking towards Slytherin's ring alone.
William released the little black robe, which wandered around, but dared not approach the ring.
"No... no soul..." It twisted its stiff neck. "Only... the curse..."
William frowned, and tapped the ring with his wand.
For a moment, he raised his head, unable to tell whether his tone was annoyed or angry: "Professor Dumbledore, we were... cheated!"
Dumbledore had regained his composure, and as he walked quickly, his pupils shrank sharply.
The Slytherin ring was gone, turned into a string of...opal necklaces under William's Revealing Charm.
This string of opal necklaces is no stranger to William, he has seen it in Borgin-Bock store.
The necklace had a strong curse, and according to the warning sign, it had killed nineteen Muggles.
Someone bought the necklace on purpose, used transfiguration to turn it into a Slytherin ring, and placed it in Gaunt's old house, waiting for the latecomers to touch it.
Who did it?
Very clear.
It could only be...young Tom Riddle.
It seems that after he left Hogwarts, he did not go to Ilvermorny immediately, but first attached to Lockhart and came to Gaunt's old house.
The real Horcrux and resurrection stone have been taken away by Tom!
"I have a question." William frowned. "Professor, how did Tom know that the ring is in Gaunt's old house? He is obviously the first Horcrux, right?"
Dumbledore thought for a moment and explained softly:
"I've gathered some intelligence and old newspapers...the summer when Tom was sixteen, there was a murder in Little Hangleton.
Tom Riddle Sr. and his parents died mysteriously at home. "
William frowned and said in astonishment, "Did Tom kill him? He was only 16 at the time?"
"William, you have to remember that it was only a few months before that summer vacation that Tom opened the Chamber of Secrets and caused Myrtle's death."
Dumbledore's voice was hoarse, and he said softly:
"It's not the first time for Tom to kill people, and he has no burden."
"That is to say, during that murder, Tom made the Horcrux diary?"
"Very likely." Dumbledore nodded, guessing:
"I think he should have found the Horcrux production method and incantations on the "Black Magic Advanced Decryption" in the restricted area."
William narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
To kill his father, to commemorate the first half of his life... The diary just recorded the first half of his life.
For Tom, it must be very commemorative and ceremonial.
This operation is really Tom!
"That time, too, he found Slytherin's ring?" William asked again.
"Yes, Tom's uncle Morfin at the time confessed that he was a murderer and killed old Tom.
He had a criminal record, and the Ministry of Magic easily believed him.
The only thing that disturbed Morfin was that his father's ring was missing.He repeatedly told his captors, 'I lost my ancestral ring and he will kill me. '"
William shuddered.He also killed many werewolves, but those guys were in wolf form, and he concocted countless kidnapping cases, deliberately creating werewolves.
And Tom killed his father and grandparents, and blamed his uncle.
Most importantly, he had obviously thought about the second Horcrux object before making the diary.
—Slytherin's ring!
After all, the Dark Lord loves a sense of ritual, and Slytherin's ring is undoubtedly very...feeling.
It's a shame Tom isn't going to be a ponytail artist.
Dumbledore crouched down to observe the curse on Lockhart carefully.
"A strong curse, but it's not on the opal necklace, it should be on the Horcrux. After Lockhart touched the ring, he fell under the curse and was abandoned by Tom."
With a flick of his wand, Dumbledore turned Lockhart onto his side.
"Dumbledore, Stark... have you found this at last? Do you like my little gift for you?"
All around, suddenly came Tom's mocking voice.
William glanced at Lockhart's body, probably after touching it, triggering the magic that Tom left on purpose.
Immediately afterwards, a cold wind rushed in, and the white gems on the top of the house suddenly burst into white light.
The temperature in the room dropped suddenly, and a large number of snowflakes fell, which seemed to freeze the people in the room to death.
Dumbledore looked at the falling snow, raised his hand and waved it lightly. The flying snow in the sky melted in the sky a few meters away as if hitting a stove.
William looked at the snowflakes with a complicated expression. He took out a handkerchief and rolled up the opal necklace on the ground.
Don't want it for nothing... Anyway, it's not cheap, and it's worth researching.
Otherwise, this journey is really fruitless.
However, this cannot hide one thing: the two were played by Tom.
He kept a fake ring and all kinds of magic, just waiting for the two of Yin to avenge the last time.
The 16-year-old Tom Riddle was indeed much more difficult than Voldemort.
