Necklace

At 11:15, on the shore of Black Lake, an ugly Merpeople poked her head out of the water and surveyed her surroundings, but ignored Ryan and his three companions in front of her.

"Wait a minute, if the Fidelius Charm is really that powerful, then my parents' deaths must be because of the person who kept the secret! Ryan, do you know who the Secret Keeper?" Harry suddenly came to his senses and became rational.

"The Secret Keeper? You can find out by checking past newspapers. Sirius Black should be the Secret Keeper."

"However, this case didn't go through a trial before he was directly imprisoned in Azkaban. There are still many suspicious points. After Voldemort died, he went on a rampage, chasing after another of your father's friends— Peter Pettigrew. Then, he laughed maniacally in front of Pettigrew's remains without resisting and was immediately captured." Ryan still pointed out that he didn't have the urge to actively seek justice for Sirius, but he also wouldn't slander him.

"Without a trial?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"The Ministry of Magic can do this?" Hermione's eyes widened, her young mind discovering the darkness of the world for the first time.

"Ryan, I'm afraid no one knows the whereabouts of those three items given by the Bleach, right? How come you..." Harry keenly noticed the loophole that Ryan had deliberately left behind.

Indeed, it's interesting to talk to smart people.

"To be more precise, the three brothers should be the three Peverell brothers: Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus."

"I am a descendant of Antioch, the eldest son; Gaunt of Slytherin is a descendant of Cadmus, the second son; and you, Harry, are a descendant of Ignotus!"

"We, Smith, know the whereabouts of the Deathly Hallows, those three items, better than anyone else. Apart from the Invisibility Cloak, I can say I know the whereabouts of the other two, but I can't say for sure."

"Harry, the Resurrection Stone that you care about most is now in a place full of magical traps. Even a wizard of Dumbledore's caliber would have to go through a lot of trouble." Ryan said with a smile. Now he had nothing to hold back, and he revealed information that many wizards would risk their lives to know without any concern.

"So, Ryan, when will I find out? And aren't we going to Atlantis?" Harry said. At this moment, he had found his second goal for defeating Voldemort, whose fate was uncertain: the Philosopher's Stone. Atlantis, which had made Ryan such a powerful wizard, became even more important to Harry.

Hermione blushed. She suddenly realized that she had forgotten everything; her attention had been entirely focused on Ryan's profile and his pleasant voice.

"Alright, Harry, Hermione, Kate, before our journey begins, we need one more item, something to ensure that no one will notice we've disappeared while we're gone." Ryan pulled a necklace with a polygonal crystal hanging from his wizard's robes. Kate smiled slightly. It was a birthday present Ryan had given him for his 11th birthday; it was just a very ordinary necklace.

"This necklace has a very magical function. It can create extra forms for you, and I, as the user, will bear the cost of the magic. If you were to do it, these forms would probably disappear in less than an hour." Ryan pretended to stroke the crystal, and a golden beam of light shot out, landing on the grass, and four things appeared that had no facial features and were only barely human-shaped.

"Harry, Hermione, this is your first time drawing your wands and inserting them," Ryan instructed.

"Can I just stick it anywhere?" Harry asked eagerly.

"Yes," Ryan replied, Hermione carefully did as he was told. Harry eagerly inserted the doll into what should have been the nostrils.

It seems that Harry Potter does indeed have a peculiar fondness for nostrils. In the original timeline, when dealing with Troll, he inserted his wand into one of the Troll's nostrils, which became covered in large clumps of gray, gelatinous substance.

Then, in the real world, on the grass by the Black Lake, a humanoid figure emitted a dazzling golden light, and two Harry and two Hermione appeared.

"It's amazing, it's like I have two perspectives." Harry touched himself curiously, while also feeling the sensation of being touched.

"Oops." Hermione, clumsy as ever, fell on her bottom. Controlling two bodies at the same time was still a bit difficult for her.

Next, Ryan and Kate pretended to insert themselves into the human figures, with Ryan as the forehead and Kate as the heart.

"Alright, I suggest you don't move your original bodies for now. Control your other bodies to go to the rest room or the dormitory or other places where you don't need to move too much."

"Alright, let's wait here for a bit," Ryan said.

Then, the other four members of the group returned to the entrance of Hogwarts, climbed the steps in front of the gate, ascended the Marble Staircase inside, opened door after door, and strode through the corridors.

About ten minutes later, the four people on the grass opened their eyes.

"Alright, we can set off now."

"By the way, Harry, Hermione, have you ever played on a slide? If you have, it'll probably feel very familiar to you," Ryan said with a mischievous grin. Harry suddenly had a bad feeling.

Ryan pointed the magical scepter at the lake, and a hole suddenly appeared on the surface. Harry looked down curiously, but couldn't see anything.

"What, can't wait any longer? Okay, Harry, you go first, just jump down." Ryan pretended not to notice that Harry was just looking.

Now Harry had no choice but to bite the bullet and jump down. Then, there was no sound at all, and Harry Potter seemed to have entered another world.

At Ryan's signal, Hermione closed her eyes and jumped down.

"Watch out, you jumped off course." Ryan pointed his wand at Hermione, Hermione then opened her eyes and realized she had almost jumped directly into the lake next to the hole.

Fortunately, Ryan spotted her in time and she was floating in mid-air. Hermione blushed bright red and before she could even thank him, Ryan flicked his wand, and she disappeared into the hole.

Hermione's screams stopped abruptly.

"Ryan, you're so naughty—I love it so much." Kate smiled and leaned against Ryan, touching the necklace she had given him.

"I'm glad you're happy. Now it's just the two of us." Ryan said, putting his arm around Kate's shoulder.

"But shouldn't we follow behind them? Those two little wizards are all alone there, and they can't see us. Won't they be scared?" Kate suddenly thought. She was supposed to be an upperclassman, and it wouldn't be right for her to mess with her juniors like this.

"I control this passage. Even if we set off two hours later, when we arrive in Atlantis, they will only find that we are right behind them."

"Besides, it's reasonable that it takes a little longer to get here from such a long distance," Ryan explained. The next second, the two of them disappeared from the spot, and at the same time, the hole slowly healed, returning to a calm lake surface.
