Chapter 120: Gaunt's Old Mansion

When Harry suddenly opened his eyes, he found himself lying in the school hospital.

The Quidditch team members of Gryffindor House, all dressed in clean robes, surrounded him by the side of his bed.

Harry twisted his neck uncomfortably, looking at the eyes of everyone, it seemed as if he was about to die, and they were all waiting to see him off and go to dinner.

Ron, in particular, holds a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in his arms and a black-and-white photo...... What does it mean?

"Harry!" Fred paled, "How do you feel now?" ”

Harry shook his head, and the memory flew back: Black Dog...... Autumn and the Golden Snitch ...... Dementor ...... William & Riddle......

"What happened?" He couldn't help but ask.

"You fell," said George, "about forty meters." ”

"What about the game," Harry's heart jumped violently, "Did Cho catch the Golden Snitch?" ”

"No, Autumn didn't catch the Golden Snitch." Angelina shook her head.

"Autumn is less than five meters away from the Golden Snitch, but she gave up and chose to save you."

"She swooped down directly from a height of several tens of meters." Fred said admiringly.

"You were unconscious and didn't see that...... Everyone was terrified, thinking she was going to fall to her death......"

"Where is Cho now? Is she hurt? Harry straightened up and said loudly.

Harry looked around and couldn't find her in the next bed.

"Autumn is fine, her skills are good, and when she is only a few meters above the ground, she catches you." George hurriedly explained.

Cedric arrived just in time and cast a slowing spell.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, happy and a little disappointed.

It's the autumn that's okay, and it's the autumn that is sad...... It's okay.

It would be nice if Autumn could come and accompany him to the hospital.

The two of them happened to be in the adjacent bed, and when they had a long night and no intention of sleeping, they could also discuss the ten skills of Quidditch.

"What's the end of the game?" Harry was concerned again.

"William was gracious, and he offered a rematch, but Professor McGonagall refused." Arya is like a little fan girl.

William's comments were not good before, and many rumors said that he was a scumbag and liked to play with the feelings of girls.

But after the morning game, especially when he used the Patronus Charm...... It's so handsome!

A scumbag is a scumbag.

Arya joins the Stark Support Group at noon, preparing to become a member of the Discipline Commission and purge those heretics who speak ill of him.

Fred poured Harry a glass of water and continued, "I also think Professor McGonagall should refuse.

Autumn could have caught the Golden Snitch, but she gave up. ”

"And even according to the rules, we should continue to compare.

But Ravenclaw is already 70 points ahead of us, and without you catching the Golden Snitch, we would have lost this game.

After all, Ravenclaw has the best chaser Hogwarts has ever seen...... William! ”

"That's right." George nodded, "Ravenclaw wins fairly, wins fairly...... Throwing in the towel, or we took advantage, even Wood admitted. ”

"Where's Wood?" Harry said, suddenly realizing that Wood wasn't there.

"It's still raining," said Fred, "and he's probably going to drown himself." ”

Harry buried his face between his knees and grabbed his hair with both hands.

Fred grabbed Harry's shoulder and shook it roughly. "Well, Harry, no one wins all the time, and Ravenclaw is no exception."

"yes, it's not over yet," Fred said, "and we're losing seventy points, aren't we?" So, if Ravenclaw loses to Hufflepuff and we beat Slytherin and Hufflepuff ......"

"Ravenclaw is going to lose at least two hundred points."

George stopped talking.

It's so hard!

"By the way, what about William?" Harry asked suddenly looking up.

Harry couldn't wait to find William and talk to him about how to deal with the Dementors.

Also, why he always sees the battle between William and Riddle in the secret room.

Harry wondered what Voldemort had done to him.

But everyone was silent.

"What's wrong?"

"William and Dumbledore eliminated all the Dementors who entered Hogwarts.

Minister Fudge came at noon, and while he was eating, his face was gloomy and he seemed very unhappy. ”

"After eating, William and the headmaster left the school." Fred said.

The Gryffindor Quidditch players were taken aback.

"They're not going to the Ministry of Magic for interrogation, are they?" Arya's face was worried.

"Killing so many Dementors at once, that's Azkaban's guard."

Everyone looked at Hermione.

Hermione's face flushed, she shook her head, and lied, "I don't know ...... either"

Hermione was a little absent-minded.

Horcruxes...... She wanted to go along, too.

……

……

On a country road, two figures suddenly appeared.

On both sides of the road, there are tall, tangled hedgerows of shrubs, and overhead is the autumn sky, as clear and blue as forget-me-nots.

William looked up and saw a wooden signpost sticking out of the thorn bush on the left side of the path with two opposite pointing arrows, namely:

Great Hangleston, 5 miles.

Little Hangleton, 1 mile.

They were walking towards Little Hangleston.

"Is the old Gaunt Mansion here?" William asked.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "A very remote place, where the Gaunt family lived for many years. ”

"Professor, why did Voldemort put the Horcrux in the Gaunt mansion?"

"I'm still looking for some memories, but I can tell you some of the things I've deduced." Dumbledore said.

"Tom's full name is Tom Marvolo Riddle."

"Marvolo?" William said in a trance. "I've looked up the lineage of the Gaunt family, and there's one named Mavolo Gaunt."

"That's right, that's Voldemort's maternal grandfather." Dumbledore nodded.

No wonder Voldemort knew Parseltongue and could open the Chamber of Secrets, it turned out that he was a descendant of Slytherin.

The two walked along the road for a while, and soon came to a valley.

There was a village in the valley that could be seen, and it was undoubtedly Little Hangelton.

The church and cemetery are clearly visible, and on the hillside across the valley is a grand mansion surrounded by large green meadows.

Dumbledore looked at the mansion and said softly, "That's Tom Riddle's old Tom's father's house." ”

"Was his father a wizard too?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "Old Tom was just a Muggle. ”

William was stunned.

Voldemort's mother was pure-blooded and his father was Muggle...... He's a fervent pure-blood advocate?

If the Death Eaters knew that their master's father was a Muggle...... I don't know how it will feel.

Led by Dumbledore, the two did not walk towards Little Hangdon, but instead turned to the right of the path, entering a narrower intersection.

"William, here we are, this is the old Gaunt House." Dumbledore said calmly.

William looked up, and at the end of the road was a dilapidated house:

The walls were covered with moss, many of the roof tiles had fallen off, and rafters were exposed in many places.

The house was surrounded by dense nettles, high nettles all the way to the windows, which were very small and covered with a thick layer of aged dirt.

At the front door of the house, there is also a doorknob of unknown material.

That's an Ouroboros,

Its eyes glowed with an eerie light.
