The Dark Wizard of Hogwarts

Marvolo Gaunt, Voldemort's maternal grandfather, three huts, several people crowded together.

A pure-blooded wizard nobleman, in order to ensure the purity of his blood, has been married for several generations, and then fell to this point.

Couples who marry close relatives will have children with many physical and character defects.

Short temper is one of the biggest character traits, and Marvolo Gaunt himself is an example. He was oddly disproportionate, with shiny brown eyes, short, hard hair, and a wrinkled face.

The old Marvolo Gaunt was like this. Although there were some exaggerated elements in it, the description was inseparable.

The tip of Dumbledore's wand gave him a burst of white light, illuminating the dilapidated hut for him.

He walked through the dirty hall, pushed open the single door on the right, and entered the room, the first thing he saw was Marvolo Gaunt's portrait.

No one lives here. After all, there is a dead snake nailed to the door, and everyone in the wizarding world knows what this means. What's more, after Voldemort appeared, no one wanted to get involved with Voldemort.

The room that hasn't been lived in for a long time has a damp and musty smell. When Dumbledore walked in, the musty smell was pungent. Even if Old Deng was strong enough, he couldn't help but tilt his head to one side, and he got used to it. It took a while to start searching for rooms.

A bed less than half a meter high, the bedding on the bed was opened halfway at will, and it was full of traces of dust and water stains, and the musty smell was basically emitted from this bed.

Presumably the roof was in disrepair and rainwater accumulated on the bed to cause this phenomenon.

If the lights are turned around in such a room in the middle of the night, some people will definitely be frightened if they see it. But fortunately, Marvolo Gaunt's hut is far enough away, and there are no connected people next to it.

The messy bed, the open cabinet, and the furnishings in the room, although chaotic, are all the same.

It is hard to imagine that there are no thieves to visit the dilapidated room that has been unoccupied for so long. Nothing in the house has been rummaged or stolen. This alone made Dumbledore feel a little weird.

A small room of ten square meters, this should be Marvolo Gaunt's bedroom.

Dumbledore is an observant, and an observant can always see things that ordinary people can't.

Such as the structure of the cabinet, the layout of the room, and then analyze Voldemort's character to find out where he might hide his Horcruxes.

Dumbledore looked at every corner of the room, and he looked very carefully. Although he only looked at each place once, he had confirmed that it was impossible for Horcruxes to exist in those places.

Finally, Dumbledore walked to the portrait of Marvolo Gaunt and looked carefully at the portrait on the wall.

If Voldemort were to hide an important thing, Dumbledore felt that the portrait was the most likely place to hide.

The portrait is lifelike and is the only thing that is completely out of place in the run-down room.

Such a vivid portrait, as if to have life in general. Moreover, this portrait always has an inexplicable strangeness.

After staring at the portrait for ten seconds, Dumbledore woke up and turned around.

In the dozen or so seconds just now, he seemed to be deeply attracted by the portrait, attracted by the more and more vividness of the portrait, as if the Marvolo Gaunt in the portrait would live under his gaze. Come over in general.

After waking up, Dumbledore looked at the portrait again, and the portrait was back to the way he first saw it. Although it was lifelike, it was far from alive.

The strangeness comes from this portrait, and the reason why this dilapidated room is not visited by thieves and robbers may also be because of this portrait.

When one sees the picture on the wall,

Although it passed by at a glance, it left a deep impression on this person's heart.

The contrast between the portrait itself and the room makes people feel concerned, so someone will look at the portrait a second time.

The second time you look at it, you will be attracted by the portrait, especially the eyes of Marvolo Gaunt in this portrait. Bright brown eyes, once staring at him for the second time, will be deeply attracted by these eyes.

The agile eyes seem to give life to the portrait, as if he will come to life under long-term viewing.

Deeply attract the attention of the people who come, and then gradually reflect the feeling of being resurrected. As a result, people who entered the house have long been confused by this portrait, and they have no intention of looking for valuables.

This phenomenon occurs whether someone with magic or no magic enters the room and sees the portrait.

If you are a person with poor self-control, you may have fallen into the eyes of the portrait, or you will become insane, and you can leave here only after going crazy. This is also the biggest reason why so many homeless people do not choose these three rooms as their accommodation.

Marvolo Gaunt's portrait is magical, and Dumbledore settled on it after a few tries.

This portrait gradually attracts people's minds. Once stared twice, the person whose mind is caught in it suddenly wakes up, and the portrait will return to the original time.

Understanding the portrait, Dumbledore turned and walked out of the room, then walked through the messy hall and opened the door to the opposite room.

A smaller hut, the bed in the hut is even smaller, there is no bedding, but there are cabinets and mirrors for dressing up.

This is more like a girl's residence, and on the wall, Dumbledore also found a portrait.

Portrait of the witch Merope Gaunt.

Eighteen-year-old Merope had dull hair, her face was pale, and her features were even more plain, her eyes staring in opposite directions.

Although his appearance is average, it looks fine, and the pale face is not a big problem, but the pale face and the eyes staring in the opposite direction are always shocking at first glance.

Marvolo Gaunt is inconspicuous at first glance, slowly attracting the mind, while Merope Gaunt is terrifying.

It can be said that if it is an ordinary wanderer, it may turn around and run away.

Two portraits, two different extremes, but the focus is on the eyes, and they both have the same effect.

Looking at the portrait of Merope, Dumbledore looked back at the portrait of Marvolo Gaunt.

The doors of the two rooms are opposite, as are the portraits. Opening the doors of the two rooms, the portraits are naturally facing each other. The size and height of the two portraits are the same.

There is a more important phenomenon. Dumbledore exits the room and walks to the side. The eyes of the characters in the two portraits are also at the same height, which can be said to be like two living people glaring at each other.

Marvolo Gaunt and Merope Gaunt are father and daughter, but their relationship is very bad.

It is normal for them to glare at each other, but now the design of the door after opening it makes people feel a chill down their spines.

Dumbledore stood on the side and looked at the two portraits glaring at each other, as if he understood something. He picked up the wand in his hand and tapped each of the two portraits, chanting a spell in his mouth: "Release..."

As the spell was uttered, the two portraits immediately changed. Especially their eyes began to tremble in their respective sockets.

The trembling eyes hit the sockets, and at this moment, there were two painful moans. Under the continuous moan, the eyeballs smashed and shattered, and then melted into two thick black blood.

The eyes in the portraits of Marvolo Gaunt and Merope Gaunt have lost their eyeballs, and some are black blood flowing down the painting and eye sockets without eyeballs.

"what!....... "

A scream with a vibrato sounded in the dark night, and the sound was terrifying.

With this scream, a soul flew out of the beadless eye sockets in the two portraits.

The two souls flew out of their eye sockets and fluttered in the air like a frantic vent. However, after less than five seconds, the two souls began to slowly dissipate in the air.

Dumbledore could only see that these were the souls of two human beings, but these two souls had been tortured to such an extent that their appearances could only be approximated.

I don't know who and for what purpose trapped these two souls in the portraits. Being so trapped in a lock is equivalent to soul torment, and it is simply that these two people will never be able to turn over.

Perhaps these two men were hated by Voldemort, and that was how they came to be.

The soul dissipated, and the two empty and eyeless portraits were even more infiltrating in this dark night.

"Hahaha..." In the hut in the dark night, two happy laughter sounded at the same time.

Because at this moment, the characters in these two eyeless portraits suddenly laughed.

The laughter was hilarious, but creepy. With this undeserved laughter, the two portraits began to ignite black flames.

The black flames burned the two portraits to the ground, revealing the triangular secret cells behind them, and inside the two hidden cells were each a ring.

Marvolo Gaunt's ring, which is kept in both vaults. Because the rings in Marvolo Gaunt's portrait are the same rings that are now placed in the hidden compartment.

Looking at these two identical rings, Dumbledore knew that his problem had finally come.
