William Dug His Own Pit and Jumped In

Since the goal is to weaken the visitor's strength, in Voldemort's tyrannical understanding, only fresh, delicious, and magically imbued blood can be considered a form of weakening.

William also had a solution: he carried various flavored mini "drinks" with him.

There's the blood of the France- style Matagot; the blood of the Albanian Forest Runespoor; the blood of the Basilisk of Chamber of Secrets killing; the blood of Beauxbatons' beloved steed Abraxan...

Such examples are too numerous to mention.

Look how many homeless animals he has adopted free of charge over the years!

If there were a Scamander Cup for the Protection of Fantastic Beasts, it would definitely be awarded to William.

Such a kind-hearted person is truly moving!

However, all this blood had value. After thinking for a moment, he chose the least valuable animal.

--Blast-Ended Skrewt.

That's right, there are still five Blast-Ended Skrewt left, four males and one female, and they've started killing each other.

To protect his daughter's safety, Hagrid sent her to live with William.

He even gave it a name: Goushengzi).

The more obnoxious your name, the better you'll live, right? People in the Wizarding World also believe this.

Little did Hagrid know that his daughter had only just been sent to William's place... and this seemingly kind and gentle uncle was already setting his sights on her.

William first gave his daughter a strong sleeping pill, and after she was unconscious, he gave her a severe injection with a thick, hard needle.

It sounds a bit inappropriate for children, and the scene is indeed bloody.

How could it not be bloody...? He drew a liter of blood, Blast-Ended Skrewt was pale.

Hagrid's "daughter" thus became William's research subject. He was determined to discover twelve uses for the blood of the Blast-Ended Skrewt.

(Dumbledore: You little brat, you're hinting at me again!)

William has now discovered one use for it: opening doors.

He took a bag of green blood from the Safety Watch and threw it on the wall.

The surface of the rock was instantly covered with shimmering, green droplets of blood.

A dazzling white archway appeared on the cave wall. The rock that had been blocking the archway suddenly disappeared, revealing a dark doorway.

"Let's go." Dumbledore, wand in hand, went inside first.

The Fawkes emitted flames and flew in mid-air, serving as a searchlight for everyone.

In other words, they were the suicide squad in William's eyes.

In wartime, Fawkes would have been a frontline sapper, tasked with clearing landmines.

It's naturally suited for this job.

Upon approaching the cave, the group discovered a vast, black lake, its surface incredibly wide and seemingly endless.

Far away, in the center of the lake, a hazy, emerald-green light shimmered, reflected in the still water below.

"There's something in the water," William warned after observing for a moment. "Don't touch the water."

Hermione hummed in agreement, gripped her wand, and cautiously followed behind William.

The three walked along the lake shore, their footsteps echoing as they trod on the narrow rocks along the shore.

The cave's structure is very simple. Apart from the rough cave walls, there is only an endless, smooth, mirror-like black lake, and a mysterious green light shimmering in the very center of the lake.

There is nothing else.

Clearly, the Horcrux is on the island in the middle of the lake, and they need to cross the lake.

However, after circling around, the three still couldn't find any means of transportation to cross the lake.

Swimming is definitely not an option, since there are things underwater.

"Apparition past?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

"I think Voldemort has anticipated this; he wouldn't want to see Apparition enter the room." Dumbledore raised his wand, pointing it at the air.

"I can sense that an Anti-Apparition spell has been set up here."

William waved his wand, and a stone turned into a small bird.

The little bird flew towards the Black Lake, and then quickly fell down.

With another loud, explosive sound, a large, white creature leaped from the Black Lake and snatched the little bird.

It disappeared again, leaving large, deep ripples on the calm water.

"And there's Anti-Flying Charm; it prevents us from flying over the lake," William said softly.

Even a goose feather can't float, and a flower sinks to the bottom... This isn't Black Lake; it's clearly Flowing Sands River.

"What's that?" Hermione was startled. She looked up into the distance, but the water was already calm.

"The Inferi," Dumbledore explained.

"Voldemort placed many Inferi at the bottom of the lake. He was most skilled in this kind of Dark Magic; during the Wizarding Wars, he even created an army of Inferi."

"If we use small boats, won't we be attacked?"

"That's right, those guys in the water will definitely try to attack us."

William squinted and pondered for a moment, then said, "There must be some means of crossing the lake nearby."

Even though the Horcrux are hidden here, Voldemort must have occasionally come back to check Horcrux before his sudden death to prevent them from being stolen.

He himself also needs to cross the river.

William suddenly felt a pang of unease, as if he had overlooked something.

The feeling was wonderful, like an intuition.

"Can you feel it, William?" Dumbledore asked, squinting.

"It's just a gut feeling... maybe I'm mistaken," William said slowly.

"Intuition cannot be ignored, William," Dumbledore gentle smile. "It's for processing data that's moving too fast for the human brain to comprehend; sometimes it's more effective than any magic."

William nodded and said, "Then there should be some kind of Banishing Charm here... kind of like Muggle-Repelling Charm, which makes us overlook a certain place."

"Yes, yes," Dumbledore said with interest. "Perhaps we could call it Wizard-Banishing Charm."

"This is clearly another little magic trick invented by Voldemort, effective and quite interesting."

If we're not careful, we'll overlook what's right in front of us and miss it entirely.

In this round, I can give him a score of 0.

William carefully sensed the magic. The Wizard-Banishing Charm... it was indeed remarkable magic.

This thing is more effective than any protective charm. Unless you're a wizard with exceptional magical skills, you won't be able to sense it at all.

Just as Muggle cannot see the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron, the Wizard-Banishing Charm has a similar effect, but it targets wizards.

Coach, I want to learn this!

Indeed, this trip has been incredibly beneficial.

Dumbledore pressed himself against the rock face. "I think I've found it, the place we just overlooked."

The three walked toward a corner, Dumbledore's hand was not stroking the rock wall, but slowly moving in the air.

It seems to be trying to find and grasp something intangible.

"Found it!" he said. "Come here, you two."

William and Hermione walked over and slowly felt around. Then he touched a metal object and grabbed Hermione's hand so she could feel it too.

Immediately, the two of them could see the iron chain floating in mid-air.

This is what they just overlooked.

The iron chain was clearly in mid-air, not hidden, but the group deliberately ignored it.

This is the effect of Wizard-Banishing Charm.

Dumbledore lifted the chain and tapped it with the tip of his wand.

To other wizards, he was like someone who was just making empty promises.

Soon, the body of the green copper chain emerged from the depths of the lake, coiled up on the ground, and emitted a loud echo.

At the end of the iron chain was a bronze ship. The ship, like a ghost, emitted a greenish light and floated towards the lake shore.

But the boat seemed very small, only big enough for one person.

But there were three of them.

"Can we sit down?" Hermione asked. "It seems to only seat one wizard at a time. Can it support the weight of three people?"

"Hermione, Voldemort doesn't consider weight; he only considers how much magical power crossed his lake." Dumbledore shook his head.

"In other words, this ship might be under a spell, allowing only one wizard to travel at a time," Hermione guessed.

"No." William pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "This ship can seat at least two adult wizards."

"Hermione, don't forget Tom. He drank the Potions on the island in his search for the Horcrux... which means the Horcrux is under the Potions."

"Yes, you're right!" Hermione raised her eyebrows, realizing the implication immediately.

She said slowly, "Voldemort certainly wouldn't drink Potions, so if he wanted to examine the Horcrux, he would bring a sacrifice and drink the Potions himself."

"Yes," Dumbledore said approvingly, "You two have very keen observation skills."

"I haven't seen students as outstanding as you in so many years."

Hermione couldn't help but grin, then frowned and said, "But there are three of us."

"Hermione, Voldemort doesn't think you'll be included. You're not an adult yet, and your magic is too weak," Dumbledore said softly.

He never imagined that a fifteen-year-old girl would come to this place.

I think your magic is negligible compared to the magic I have with William.

Hermione has very little magic, but William's magic is already comparable to that of a normal adult wizard.

Fawkes's blessing gave him a lot of buffs. After several years of growth, his own magic power has increased significantly.

Therefore, the three of them can definitely sit there.

Dumbledore and William sat on the boat, while Hermione simply sat on William's lap.

William was also in a difficult position. But in order to destroy the Horcrux, he had to make a sacrifice.

But they were quickly proven wrong.

As soon as William jumped onto the boat, the water surged and churned like boiling water, and the boat capsized.

When he was caught off guard and fell into the water, William suddenly realized that he wasn't just one person... he also had a zoo on him!

He got himself into trouble!
