A day at Hogwarts

"It's time for lunch."

Charles knew that the old man's cooking skills were not very good, but the items that looked like food he brought out today were even weirder and indescribable than before.

This food looks like a pie, but the crust is dark green, with shrimps holding their heads high on top, and a circle of squid tentacles on the outside. It looks even cuter when looking up at the stars.

Carefully cut open the pie. The dark green pie crust is filled with shell meat filling, which is gray and white.

Jack proudly introduced his masterpiece on the side: "I added spirulina powder to the crust, the dough is made of shrimp and squid, and the filling is the meat of several kinds of seashells. You must like it!"

Charles was silent. Seaweed, shrimp, molluscs and sea shells meowed. These are the food of jellyfish!

"Grandpa!" His head was full of black lines, "Aren't you afraid that I will unplug the ventilator and charge the phone?"

Unexpectedly, Jack sneered, raised his hand, and pulled out the plug of the TV in the living room. Then he raised his hand and plugged it back in.

Charles blinked. What new curse is this?

"Alas..." he sighed, "I'll take this pie back to Hogwarts and give it to Professor McGonagall to try."

Jack immediately widened his eyes fiercely and said, "How dare you!"

Charles said with a smile: "Maybe she took pity on me for eating so poorly every day, so she came over every day to help cook three meals a day."

At this time, Mr. Field, who was watching the excitement, immediately asked Charles: "What is going on with that professor you just mentioned?"

He keenly smelled the smell of gossip, and after Charles gave a "you know" smile, he apparated away before Jack could make him forget about it. Charles and the others did not show up until they returned to England.

Charles is on leave until the end of January, and there is still half a month left.

According to his original plan, he was going to France, but Seamus and others were unexpectedly petrified. After two days of rest, he returned to England with souvenirs given by his friends.

Half a day ago, Charles was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt in Australia. Now he put on a thick winter coat, a windbreaker, a bowler hat, and walked in the snow with Jack.

Little Hangleton, the hometown of Voldemort's parents, Charles came here for the second time.

A piece of the roof of the Gunter family's old house collapsed, and the doors and windows were in dilapidated condition, which looked even more dilapidated in the snow. If there hadn't been a magic spell to protect the locals, the place would have been demolished.

There is still an unpleasant musty smell in the house, and compared to last time, there is still a faint smell of dead mice today.

Jack stood here for a few seconds, then turned to Charles and said, "Someone came here not long ago, but they couldn't completely break the curse of the two-hole socket and couldn't find the gold box under the floor."

Then he waved the magic wand in his hand, and a figure with 60% transparency sneaked into the house. After a while of exploring and breaking the spell, he was finally electrocuted by lightning emerging from the floor and fell to the ground convulsing.

Jack asked: "Accident?"

Charles nodded and replied: "It's indeed surprising, but it's not outrageous."

As he spoke, he held his chin and looked thoughtfully at the shadow of Lucius Malfoy on the ground.

The appearance of Lao Ma here can mean many things, whether Voldemort asked him to come here, or he investigated something on his own.

It would be fine if he investigated it himself, but if it was arranged by Voldemort, it would be great fun.

Jack said: "This is the so-called butterfly effect."

Charles smiled and said: "This is not as simple as a butterfly flapping its wings."

Majiazhuang was bombed, and so far there is no clue as to who did it. It is impossible for Lucius not to recover the situation. It is not surprising that he would use the power of the Death Eaters again during this period.

I don't know what kind of connection those Death Eaters have, whether there is any secret base or something like that, maybe Voldemort is hiding there.

So Charles thought thoughtfully and said: "The two-hole socket was defeated by Harry not long ago. Of course he is not dead. Peter, who turned into a mouse and ran away in my 'memory', can find him. It's not surprising that Lucius can also find him."

At this moment Lucius's shadow climbed up from the floor and rolled away.

Charles continued: "I have a guess that the two-prong socket is now in Malfoy's house."

"It seems that the double-hole socket just asked him to confirm whether the ring is still inside, or whether the hidden protection spell is still effective. It did not tell him where it is or what is stored."

"I'm a little curious. If what you said just now is true, why does the two-hole socket care about its own Horcrux?"

Jack said: "If it's like what you said, then Lucius threw away the Horcrux diary in the front and found the two-hole socket in the back."

"After the two-hole socket joins Lucius, he will definitely ask about the Horcruxes he has stored with him. I'm afraid Lucius will suffer because of this. The two-hole socket will also need to confirm the status of other Horcruxes."

At this time, Charles smiled and said: "For Lucius, losing the diary is not a big problem. He can completely dump the blame on you. It can even be said that he gave up the entire family to protect the diary. It exploded."

Jack nodded. With Lucius Malfoy's ability to play with power, unless his memory was directly read, there would be no problem in distorting Voldemort's thinking.

"Let's go." Jack said, "Since we haven't opened the gold box, there's nothing to see. Let's go to the cemetery and have a look."

Charles followed the old man out of Gaunt's old house and said on the way: "I still haven't figured out why you wanted to take action against the Gaunt family's ring and Slytherin's locket."

He was originally planning to go to Australia in early December. Unexpectedly, the old man asked him to take leave in advance. Then he came to Gunter's old house and took out the Horcrux ring from under the floor.

This ring not only contains fragments of Voldemort's soul, but also the curse he set. Anyone who cannot resist the temptation to wear the ring will be fatally attacked.

But Jack has a solution for both.

It was that day that Charles saw the full power of the ancient magic controlled by the old man for the first time.

Fortunately, the resurrection stone on the ring is not broken.

Faced with Charles' question, Jack just asked him: "Then why did you give Harry the Resurrection Stone?"

Charles was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately and laughed twice.

At that time, Harry fell off his broomstick. His injuries were healed, but he was as unconscious as a vegetative state.

When Charles saw the "purified" Resurrection Stone, he wondered if there might be something wrong with Harry's soul, so he asked someone to make an amulet and stuff the Resurrection Stone into it and send it over.

And what the old man did was the same. He learned from Charles's "memory" that Dumbledore was injured by the curse on the ring and was seriously injured after drinking poison in a seaside cave, so he helped his friend solve the problem. A serious problem.
