Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 513 Creating Information Gap
"Charles, what are you doing?"

Tonight, after Charles returned from Farbaton Castle, he did not return to the dormitory, but came to the alchemy laboratory.

On his way to get a bedtime drink, Dumbledore saw Charles saying goodbye to the vampire girl and heading to the laboratory, so he came over to take a look and found him fiddling with a communication notebook, so he asked Kodosdoriz curiously.

Charles was like a student caught playing with his cell phone in class by his teacher. He jumped on the sofa and immediately covered his notebook.

Dumbledore's eyes grew sharp. Having been engaged in teaching for so many years, he had seen many such reactions.

"No, nothing." Charles nervously made an excuse, "Just a normal chat, hehe..."

Seeing him like this, Dumbledore became curious. This guy could even fool Grindelwald without batting an eyelid, so what else could make him so nervous?

"Oh!" Dumbledore remembered something. "Are you ordering Valentine's Day presents?"

Valentine's Day is coming soon. The young people in the castle are becoming active, and the professors at Hogwarts are also ready to have a big party this year.

So Dumbledore had reason to suspect that Charles was ordering a gift.

Judging from his appearance, he is most likely making big news.

Charles immediately nodded with a silly smile. He had no idea of ​​time, so he had to buy something quickly to fool Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked as if he had expected it. He had originally wanted to talk to him about the experimental methods of alchemy, but decided not to disturb the young man for the time being.

As for school rules and so on, not to mention that Charles could have stayed here overnight, it was not surprising that good kids had privileges.

Charles saw Dumbledore leave and sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost scared to death just now.

He pulled out the latest shopping catalog, studied it, then opened the company's communication notebook and left a message for Dobby to buy a cup that could automatically heat or freeze drinks and give it away on Valentine's Day.

Then he opened the notebook he had just closed and started studying from the beginning.

Colorful patterns appeared on the notebook, overlapping and changing constantly.

Charles fiddled with it intently, and the old patterns faded and new ones appeared.

"It actually works!" Charles finally said to himself.

He made a slight adjustment, and content automatically appeared in the blank notebook. He logged into Draco Malfoy's account. There was a conversation going on, which was displayed synchronously on the notebook.

It is normal for communication notebooks to have vulnerabilities, and the company is also offering a reward, but the company boss relied on the vulnerabilities to steal other people's information. This is extremely bad in nature, and if it gets out, the company will collapse.

Especially since it was Dumbledore who came just now, if he told others about it, Charles would be completely finished.

Charles didn't want to do this either, but what he had to do next was very important. He had to figure out what Voldemort was going to do.

Draco Malfoy is the only entry point to understanding Voldemort's movements.

The Malfoys were also captured and taken to Azkaban this time. They have been exposed, so they are very likely to contact their lackeys.

Charles decided to take a gamble, and it paid off.

"Looking for Ravenclaw's diadem?" Charles thought as he watched the mother and son talking, "Will the other two also go looking for it?"

He thought that Voldemort and his companions also needed to eat, and it was very likely that they would discover that Hufflepuff's gold cup was missing when they went to Gringotts to get the money, and then Voldemort would begin to confirm the situation of the other Horcruxes.

The Resurrection Stone has been hanging around Harry's neck for two years, Slytherin's locket is now in Dumbledore's hand, and Hufflepuff's cup and Ravenclaw's diadem are in the belt.

Charles thought about it and quietly left Hogwarts Castle soon after.

The sea breeze was blowing very coldly at night. Lucius walked far into the cave and was still shivering with cold.

It took him a long time to find this place. As soon as he came in, he felt very depressed, as if a terrible monster was staring at him in the dark.

A stone door appeared in front of him. Lucius studied it for a long time, cut his finger with his wand, and smeared a little blood on the door.

The stone gate moved only slightly, and then there was no movement.

Lucius had no choice but to squeeze out a little more blood and smear it on the stone door. Every time he smeared a little blood, the stone door opened a little bit. He repeated this for an unknown period of time before a gap was opened that was barely enough for him to squeeze through.

As he squeezed through the stone door, Lucius' heart grew heavier.

You had to bleed to pass through the stone gate just now, so what will happen next?
He sighed, it was no use thinking, he could only live hard.

Along the way, there were no more obstacles such as stone gates, and a huge dark lake appeared in front of us.

Lucius' heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if beating a drum in his ears.

He extended his wand over the water, and the light from the tip of the wand pierced through the clear lake water, illuminating the densely packed Inferi.

A cold wind blew by, and Lucius shuddered.

He knew that Voldemort had created many Inferi, but he never knew they were all placed here.

There was a ball of green light in the middle of the dark lake. That was where Lucius was going tonight.

There should be a boat in the lake. Lucius searched along the lakeside for a long time and finally found the copper chain covered with green rust and pulled the boat out of the water.

The boat automatically sailed slowly towards the green light in the center of the lake. Several corpses floated in the water. Lucius was very nervous, fearing that they would pull him into the water.

There seems to be a jellyfish?

Lucius caught a glimpse of something strange out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked carefully, there was nothing in the water except the corpse.

Another Inferi floated by and his heart tightened. The corpse looked a bit like Draco, except that the age was wrong and the hair was very sparse.

In the water where the light could not reach, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a lot of work to prepare so many Inferi with puppets and Transfiguration, and to make a high-quality locket and get the boat back to the bottom of the water, not to mention repairing the stone basin on the island, pouring some kiwi juice, and then casting the glow.

Fortunately, Lucius took his time, otherwise it would be too late.

Charles came out of the water in secret, turned back into human form, and quietly observed Lucius's every move.

The biggest flaw was the kiwi juice in the stone basin. If Lucius were to take a sip, his secret would be exposed.

Fortunately, Lucius first unleashed the non-existent magic, then cast a spell to separate the kiwi juice, and after seeing the high-end imitation pendant box at the bottom of the basin, he hurried away.

Charles and Jack meet at the island villa.

"He sent someone to check for the ring, too," said Jack, over a nightcap. "Of course it's there."

Charles took a sip of happy water and said, "One of my biggest advantages in dealing with Voldemort is the information gap. Letting Voldemort get the wrong information can widen the gap."

Jack shook his head and said, "I feel that your power is superior to ours. My intuition in this regard is always accurate."

"Since that night, I have always wanted to ask, who were you before you came into this world, and what kind of power did you have?"

Charles smiled and said, "I thought you could endure it for three months, but now you can't endure it in less than two months."

"To be honest, I can't tell the answer to this question right now. I have a feeling that I am the same as Voldemort now."

Jack looked at the glass for a long time, nodded and said, "That makes sense. Your soul was shattered before. Maybe some of it fell outside your body and attached to something, just like the fragments of Voldemort's soul in Harry's body."

"Oh, if I had known that would happen, I would have picked up the trash can and the trash inside it."

"But there is always a way out. Maybe your Horcrux is lying in the landfill. It is also possible that the trash can is your Horcrux."

Charles' face twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Believe it or not, I will advertise for you in newspapers and on the Internet. When it comes to hype, I am no worse than the current professionals. Maybe I can even hold a global talent show."

This hit Jack's soft spot. He believed that Charles could really do such a thing and make a fortune from advertising revenue.

Charles didn't continue on this topic. After drinking the happy water, he returned to Hogwarts.
