Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 222 Voldemort’s Rules

Sirius Black was able to come to the cave to find his brother Regulus, in fact, all because of his momentum. Now the critical moment has really come.

Sirius Black didn't know what to do.

"Let me think about it -" Dumbledore said in a low voice.

"Come Regulus!" Sirius Black suddenly raised his wand and used the Flying Charm.

Ethan waved his hand to stop Sirius Black's rash behavior, but it was too late.

There was a loud explosion-like sound from the lake, and a pale creature jumped out of the lake, and then fell heavily into the water, causing a big splash and splashing everyone's faces.

Before anyone could see what kind of creature it was, it sank to the bottom of the lake again, leaving only layers of ripples splashed on the calm lake surface.

"What kind of monster is that?" Sirius Black wiped the water from his face and said in surprise.

"It seems that this is a protective measure set up by Voldemort to prevent others from taking tricks." Dumbledore murmured, "We have to follow the rules he set here."

"I'm sorry - I was too impulsive." Sirius Black made a rare apology.

"It's okay," Dumbledore said gently, "I have long expected that Voldemort's elaborate arrangement would be impossible for others to crack so easily. You helped us confirm this."

Dumbledore's words that were not comforting made Sirius Black even more embarrassed.

"Now, we have to move on. According to Kreacher's description, there should be a boat here. I want to go and observe the small island in the center of the lake." Dumbledore said.

"There is a boat! Kreacher will take everyone to find it!" Kreacher said sharply, and then used his small body to sneak forward a few steps ahead and lead everyone forward.

Everyone hurriedly followed Kreacher and continued walking forward. After walking for a while, Kreacher finally stopped.

Kreacher squinted his eyes for a long time and finally nodded, "This is it! Gentlemen!" Kreacher said.

Kreacher took two steps forward, swiping his hands in the air as if he was looking for something, and finally Kreacher screamed in surprise.

"Here! Kreacher found it!" As soon as Kreacher finished speaking, a thick copper chain covered with green rusty spots appeared in his hand.

Kreacher pulled hard on the copper chain, making a rattling sound, but unfortunately it didn't pull much. House elves are not known for their strength.

Seeing this, Sirius Black took the initiative to take the copper chain from Kreacher's hand and pulled it up with great effort.

Although Sirius Black's mind was not very bright, he still had strength. He pulled the chain with a clanking sound, and the copper chains that were pulled out of the lake quickly became a pile on the ground.

The clanking sound formed a loud echo in the empty cave, and the cave suddenly became lively.

Suddenly, there was a "dong" sound in the lake.

A small boat was pulled out of the lake by Sirius Black.

The boat looked small, with room for only one person. Sirius Black looked at the boat nervously.

"Could this be Voldemort's trap?" Sirius Black said nervously, "Why would Voldemort leave such a means of transportation to retrieve his Horcrux? This is completely unreasonable! It must be a trap!"

"Let me take a look." Dumbledore took two steps forward and observed the boat carefully.

Dumbledore raised his wand, pointed at the boat several times, and inspected it in detail.

"No traps -" said Dumbledore, "this ship - just Tom's way."

"This ship is very cleverly hidden. If it weren't for Kreacher, even I would have to work hard to find it. Tom must be very confident. He thinks that no one else will find this ship."

After saying this, Dumbledore paused, obviously thinking about this.

"But Voldemort will definitely also design an insurance that can only be passed by himself. As for what it is, I'm afraid we won't know until we go there." Dumbledore said.

"But what if that monster in the lake attacks us while we're in the boat?" Sirius Black asked.

"If it finds out that we are not Voldemort, it will definitely take action, but it has already allowed us to pull the ship up." Dumbledore said.

"Someone must take a boat into the island in the middle of the lake to dispel the suspicion of this monster. I will take the boat, and you and Ethan will apparate there through Kreacher." Dumbledore said to Sirius Black.

Ethan, Sirius Black and Kreacher nodded at the same time. They believed that at this time, there was absolutely nothing wrong with listening to Dumbledore.

Soon everyone took action. Dumbledore got on the boat, and Ethan and Sirius Black also took Kreacher's hands on the left and right, and asked Kreacher to take them to the island in the middle of the lake by apparating. .

After an explosion, Ethan, Sirius Black and Kreacher had arrived at the island.

The boat Dumbledore took was slower than Kreacher's Apparition, so he hadn't come yet.

Ethan then had more time to take a closer look at the island.

The island consists of a large, very flat rock with a very flat, smooth surface.

When they got closer, Ethan and Sirius Black discovered that what had been glowing green was a large stone basin.

Ethan came closer and observed carefully. The stone basin was filled with emerald green liquid that emitted sparkling phosphorescence. The green light in the cave was emitted by this thing.

"Oh my god Ethan! Come and see!" Sirius Black patted Ethan on the shoulder and pointed towards the lake with his finger.

A pale thing floated unexpectedly on the lake, floating quietly in the lake, like a rock.

Ethan squinted his eyes to identify it carefully, and then he identified it. It was a person's back.

At this moment, Dumbledore rowed over, and the current caused by the rowing happened to turn the body over.

This allowed Ethan to see the front of the body.

The lower body of the body was completely submerged in the lake water, leaving only the chest and face floating on the water.

The chest of the corpse was pale and without any blood. His open eyes were foggy, as if there were spider webs inside, and he was looking ahead aimlessly.

His hair and robes swirled automatically around his body without any wind.

For some unknown reason, the body did not decompose.

"The lake is full of this stuff, the Inferi," whispered Sirius Black. "My brothers are all in it too."

"It's okay." Ethan patted Sirius Black's shoulder comfortingly, "We will bring your brother back right away."

While the two were talking, Dumbledore rowed a boat and arrived at the island. Dumbledore once again jumped onto the island with agility beyond his age, without touching the lake water at all.
