Dumbledore did indeed speed up.
The Elder Wand emitted powerful magical fluctuations, making the Gaunt Family Home seem about to collapse.
Fortunately, there weren't many traps left, and the dilapidated old house was preserved intact.
"Alright, you can come over now."
Vincent walked calmly to the open door. "Professor, did Tom anticipate your arrival and prepare a little surprise inside?"
Dumbledore put his hand on his shoulder. "That's why I brought you along."
Voldemort's visible magical setups have all been dismantled, and the invisible traps are unlikely to affect the Occlumency Master.
Now that safety is guaranteed, we definitely have to bring Harry along.
He is one of the Horcrux, so he might sense something.
Vincent pulled out his Alder Wand, which he had bought at a high price from Knockturn Alley and which was completely Trace. "Lumos— "
Dumbledore deep look but didn't say anything more. He simply stayed outside with Harry, watching him cautiously walk into the house.
It was still pitch black inside, but you could barely see about half a meter around you.
For decades, no one has paid any attention to it, and the accumulated dust drifts everywhere.
As he passed by tables and chairs covered in cobwebs, the musty smell made him frown.
The environment is even harsher Nurmengard, presumably due to the invisible influence of Dark Magic.
"Crack—" The floor was crushed into pieces.
It makes sense that applying a little force can cause this, and that gradually releasing the pressure is reasonable.
If the ancestral home collapses, Voldemort will definitely know that there is something wrong with his Horcrux.
Walk gently inside, and you'll see a desk that's relatively well-preserved.
Vincent stepped forward and examined him closely.
There's no dust, so it's probably hidden here.
I moved aside the scattered books on the table but found nothing unusual.
There were two drawers at the bottom. Reaching out and pulling open the top one, a dark, shadowy figure lunged at you.
Vincent reacted quickly, dodging the shadow with his head turned to the side. He then cast Revealing Charm on the shadow on the ground and discovered that it was a tattered rag doll.
"Incendio— "
The rag doll was instantly set ablaze, jumped around, and quickly went still.
"Stupefy — Petrificus Totalus — Obstacle Course — Finite Incantatem— "
After a series of curses, the charred doll would probably break at the slightest touch.
Hearing the commotion, Dumbledore and Harry outside hurriedly inquired about the situation inside.
"I'm fine, you don't need to come in yet." Vincent moved his wand away from the rag doll.
If I'm not mistaken, this thing was placed there to lower the visitor's guard.
The more powerful a wizard is, the more confident they are. When faced with such a small trouble, they might think that Voldemort is completely helpless and will have to resort to underhanded tricks to launch a sneak attack.
Unfortunately Vincent wasn't fooled, and neither was Dumbledore, who was left outside.
Remove the Alchemy Bracelet and turn it into a pistol.
Although it lacks the power of Gunblade, it can empty a magazine instantly.
Vincent held a gun in his left hand and a magic wand in his right.
He returned to his desk, not daring to open the other drawer.
With a wave of the wand, a gap was opened, and a terrifying, aggressive aura rushed out.
"Ugh—" Harry, outside the door, covered the scar on his forehead, as if something was spying on him.
It's Voldemort! It's one of his Horcrux!
Dumbledore called anxiously into the room, "Vincent, have you found something?"
"I think so." Vincent continued waving his wand and slowly pulled open the drawer.
Even the most intense Dark Magic aura couldn't affect him, let alone the mere mental probing of Horcrux.
Inside the drawer was an antique-style ring inlaid with a black rhombus-shaped stone.
"Professor, bring your sword!"
Dumbledore pulled the Sorting Hat from his robes, hesitated for a moment, and then reached inside.
He drew the Sword of Gryffindor, cast a spell, and gently tossed it into the room.
Vincent's raised left hand grasped the sword hilt, the ring in the drawer suddenly jolted violently.
The Sword of Gryffindor, having absorbed the Killing Curse, frightened the soul within, causing it to tremble slightly as if begging for mercy.
"Professor, the Horcrux is a ring!" Vincent put away his wand and gripped the sword tightly with both hands.
Dumbledore outside the door, looked astonished and quickly called out to stop him, "Wait, don't destroy it yet!"
"Huh? Why?"
Is there a black stone set in the ring?
The Sword of Gryffindor, falling heavily, froze in mid-air.
"Yes, it's diamond-shaped."
Dumbledore he held the Elder Wand. "This ring is a family heirloom of the Gaunt Family, and the black stone on it is very likely the legendary Resurrection Stone."
"The Resurrection Stone? The Deathly Hallows? The Resurrection Stone of the second son of the Peverell family?"
"That's right."
The Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's possession, while the Invisibility Cloak the third brother has is with Harry.
Have the legendary Deathly Hallows been collected like this?
That's so dramatic!
Vincent lowered his sword. "Professor, why don't you come and see if it's true?"
Dumbledore's eyes were no longer calm.
He suddenly closed his eyes and stopped his trembling hands. "Okay, I'll go in now."
Harry could tell he wasn't as composed as usual. "Professor, are you alright?"
"No problem, please wait for me here, Harry."
Dumbledore deep breath and walked into Gaunt Family Home.
When he saw the ring in the drawer, it was clear that there was a certain longing in his expression.
"Professor, stop!" Vincent his sword to block Dumbledore was unconsciously moving forward.
"Vincent, I..."
"Professor, something's wrong with you!"
Dumbledore had become much more lucid.
He took a few steps back and sighed helplessly, "I just want to see Ariana one more time."
His sister was a source of eternal pain for him, and with the Resurrection Stone right before his eyes, he found it hard to resist the temptation.
Vincent remained wary. "Professor, are you sure you haven't been affected by the Horcrux?"
No, I'm sure.
"And this ring?"
Dumbledore nodded. "That's right, the gem on it is the Resurrection Stone."
He and Grindelwald had searched for the Deathly Hallows together, which is almost 100% certain.
This is going to be difficult.
Although the ring and the Resurrection Stone are not one piece, who knows which vessel Voldemort used when creating the Horcrux?
Did they all get chopped down?
Just as the two were struggling with their decision, Harry outside the door heard a strange sound.
"Come in, there's what you want inside—"
Harry looked around, and the eerie voice rang in his ears again.
"Don't you want to meet your parents? Come in, and your wish will be granted—"
"Horcrux!" Harry clenched his fists and glared fiercely at the dark interior of the old house.
"You actually know—who are you—"
Harry yelled, "Don't even think about invading my brain again!"
Inside the room, the ring suddenly trembled violently, then quickly lay quietly in the drawer again.
Vincent and Dumbledore exchanged a glance.
This Horcrux is indeed capable of Legilimency; fortunately Harry learned Occlumency from Snape.
