Chapter 514 512. Rat crossing the street

The old house of the Gunter family cannot really be called a house, it can only be regarded as a wooden shed.

It’s obvious that no one has lived inside for a long time. The furniture is covered with dust and tattered everywhere. It doesn’t look like a pure-blood family with a long history and rich heritage.

It didn’t take them much time to find the Gaunt ring. It was hidden in a chest in the wooden shed.

Jon was the first to discover it. He carefully picked up the ring from the cupboard, and at the same time felt a familiar magic in it.

That obviously belonged to Voldemort.

The gem on this ring is the resurrection stone left by the legendary “God of Death”. It has the magic to resurrect people. But in fact, Jon knows that the so-called resurrection is fake. The only thing it can do is to bring people back to life. The souls of the dead are just condensed, and resurrection is completely empty talk.

Jon couldn’t absorb the unique magic of Death, and the Horcrux was made from Voldemort’s soul fragments, so he couldn’t solve it, but there was obviously a magic power on this ring used to maintain some kind of curse.

After feeling this, Jon understood in his heart.

This must be the curse that indirectly led to Dumbledore’s death in the original work. Voldemort obviously left a backup plan for this ring with almost no safeguards. If Dumbledore hadn’t been strong enough, he probably wouldn’t have been able to survive it. Ordering Snape to kill him.

So after thinking about what the layer of magic attached to it was, Jon absorbed it without hesitation.

He had already eaten too much of Voldemort’s magic. It was nutritious, healthy and tasted good. It was a large amount but still full.

After erasing the curse on it, Jon turned around and handed the ring to Dumbledore. This ring would of course be safe until the properties of the Horcrux were completely erased.

This can be regarded as helping Dumbledore eliminate the risk. The Deathly Hallows will not be easily destroyed. Even if the role of the Horcrux is eliminated, Dumbledore can still use it to satisfy some of his regrets.

The trip still seemed to be going smoothly, and they encountered no trouble from beginning to end. Just when Jon and the others were finding things and preparing to leave directly, two voices suddenly sounded faintly outside the door of the wooden shed.

“. It was originally your mission alone, but you insisted on dragging me along!”

“Didn’t you live near here before? Stop complaining. This is not a big deal in the first place. After I find the things, I will treat you to a drink at the Pig’s Head Bar.”

“Hogsmeade? Forget it, it’s too close to Hogwarts. It was fine before, but now it always makes me feel uncomfortable if I get close to where Dumbledore is.”

The two voices talking were getting closer and closer, obviously approaching the door.

Both Dumbledore and Jon reacted quickly.

Jon immediately pulled Harry and hid in the corner of the wooden shed, then took out the invisibility cloak he was wearing, and covered himself and Harry, who was still confused. At this time, Dumbledore Then he waved the magic wand in his hand, and in the next second, all the traces they left in the room disappeared and returned to their original appearance.

After doing all this, Dumbledore’s own body disembodiment spell also took effect. At the same time that his figure completely disappeared, the door of the wooden shed was pushed open from the outside.

“Wait a minute, why isn’t this door locked?”

The short, middle-aged wizard who opened the door first said with a wary expression.

His reaction made the companions following behind him also become nervous. The two of them pulled out the wands in their hands at the same time, changed the casualness in the previous conversation, and carefully walked into the ancestral house of the Gaunt family.

But after entering the door, they found that the surroundings were surrounded by thick dust that would only be left in places that have been uninhabited for a long time. There were no footprints on the ground, and the floating dust on the tables, chairs, and cabinets were evenly distributed. That’s all. Look, I don’t feel anything unusual.

“You are so surprised. The owner didn’t tell us when we came here, so the door here must be locked. It’s a big deal that a mouse can come to this poor place. How could there be someone hiding here?” ?”

The words of his companion made the short wizard at the beginning also relax his vigilance. He put away his wand and stared.

“It’s been so long that you have forgotten how we came here more than ten years ago! Don’t forget what we are doing now! It’s always good to be careful!”

Of course his words made sense, and his companion did not argue, but just started rummaging around the house.

And their every move at this time was carried out under the noses of Jon and the others!

Harry felt extremely nervous and excited. He swallowed and watched the two wizards, who were not kind-hearted in appearance, turning the whole room upside down, but found nothing. Then he felt something. Jon beside him didn’t know when he quietly raised the wand in his hand that was exactly the same as Dumbledore’s.

Harry didn’t know if Dumbledore and Jon had any private communication, or if it was a tacit understanding between the two.

There was no sound of chanting a spell, and the tip of Jon’s wand suddenly lit up with a red light!

On the other side, the same red spell also appeared, leaving the two wizards in the room who had already let down their guard no room to react!

The next moment, the two wizards who were still rummaging through the boxes were knocked away by the huge power of the spell, and then fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

After completing all this, Jon took off the invisibility cloak, and Dumbledore also lifted the disillusionment spell on his body. Harry was still in a state of shock, and before he could react, the battle was over.

Jon walked to the short wizard closest to him, opened the sleeves of his robe, and sure enough, he found a tattoo of a snake crossing a skull on his arm!

“Death Eaters!”

Harry exclaimed, of course he recognized the symbol. At the end of the Triwizard Tournament last year, Barty Jr. proudly shared this mark on his body with him and Cedric.

Jon and Dumbledore were not much surprised by this. Apart from them, the only people in the wizarding world who could think of coming to this place to look for things were people related to Voldemort.

But what makes Jon frown and wonder is that even if the Death Eaters in this world still exist, they should be struggling to survive like street rats.

How could they find a place like Gunter’s ancestral home today?
