[HP Draco] Attendant

Chapter 167 chapter·16

Madeleine didn't like the smell of the cliff in front of her. Tom was floating beside her, and Dumbledore was not far away.Even the blue sky and the sea cannot reach the steep cliff in front of me, and the rock wall blocks this piece of rock in the shadow.Dumbledore blinked, turned his head slightly, and looked at Madeleine behind him and Tom floating beside him.

"I brought two Muggles here once." Tom smiled maliciously: "It's hard to forget the way they panicked..."

"Nasty." Madeleine waved her hand, trying to slap Tom away. Tom chuckled and disappeared.Dumbledore held out his hand to Madeleine, and Madeleine walked over: "Dumbledore, do I need to tell you about the Order of the Phoenix..."

"No, Miss Madeleine." Dumbledore had a smile on his face. He seemed to know everything that happened in the Order of the Phoenix: "Although I don't agree with letting them know that Harry is Voldemort's soul container, I have Expected... just you can't believe it, someone angrier than Sirius rushed into my office... Ah, my tea bag..."

He sounded a little sorry, but Madeleine didn't quite understand: "Is it my parents?"

"No, they easily accepted that Harry is a Horcrux. They know better than many people... what kind of person I am." Dumbledore sighed when he said this: "I also But an old man, not a saint."

"..."

Madeleine looked at Dumbledore, ignoring the last sentence: "So, who is it?"

"It's Severus." Dumbledore replied, and he and Madeleine walked near the cliff, where there was a dark crack, which was only visible because it was daytime.Madeleine froze for a moment, not too surprised, but a little uncomfortable: "That's it."

"Ah... I remember, Miss Madeleine, you can't swim." Dumbledore looked at the gap where the sea water was rushing in, and then looked at Madeleine regretfully. Madeleine shook her head, Pulled out a new broom (given by Draco) from his backpack: "It's okay, I have a broom with me."

"Great." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief: "If you don't mind, can I sit with you?"

"Otherwise, are you going to swim in?" Madeleine asked back, and Dumbledore nodded: "Actually, I am very good at swimming."

"..."

Stinky old man, find fault! ?Madeleine rode on the broom angrily, and Dumbledore also sat on it. Tom appeared again and floated into the cave. Madeleine whispered, "I'm so envious, just fly away..."

This sentence made Dumbledore laugh lightly.

Mad! !

Unite and bully me! ! ? ?

Madeleine thought unpleasantly, and carefully flew Dumbledore into the crack, where Dumbledore lit it up with magic.At the beginning, the passage was a bit narrow, and Madeleine was flying close to the surface of the water, and both her and Dumbledore's legs were submerged in the sea water.But after a certain distance, the narrow road gradually became larger. Fortunately, it is not yet high tide and the sea level is not high.

Of course, even if the tide is high, it is not a big problem for wizards.

Madeleine and Dumbledore arrived on the shore soon, and Dumbledore tapped himself and Madeleine with his wand. Madeleine felt that the wet place on her body was much refreshed and felt.She thanked Dumbledore, straightened her clothes, and said, "Even my godfather, who everyone knows hates Potter the most, is mad at you."

"Yeah." Dumbledore said to Madeleine with emotion: "Once, I thought you were very similar to Tom."

"Principal Dumbledore, to be honest, I know you like to joke, but this really only makes me panic." Madeleine put away the broom, and Dumbledore laughed again, as if he was flattering himself He laughed twice: "It's really a joke to look at it this way. After all, you are very similar to your godfather. It makes me glad that Lucy and Shu accepted you back then."

"Here." At this time, Tom interrupted Dumbledore and Madeleine. He poked his head out from a wall and motioned to the two of them, "If it's not as expected, the missing items are here."

Dumbledore nodded, stretched out his hand, pressed it against the cave wall, and looked at Madeleine again: "Miss Madeleine, please."

Madeleine followed Dumbledore, his back was in the dark, Madeleine didn't speak, Tom fell beside her, and said to her, "It's not a good place inside."

"That's because you have bad taste." Madeleine replied, "To be honest, this place isn't a good place either."

Dumbledore raised his strange wand again, like someone's hand bones, except that no one's hand bones can be so straight.Madeleine forced herself to look away, and Tom continued, "There's no need to cast a spell, there's something else that will open the door better than a spell."

Dumbledore's hand that was about to cast the spell paused. Before he said anything, Madeleine had cut his arm with his wand in Tom's attempt. Her lack of hesitation made Dumbledore frown.She walked to the wall and tried to smear the blood on the door: "It seems a little less."

"Have you brought blood tonic?" Tom yawned.

"Yes." Madeleine said, and Dumbledore sighed: "Miss Madeleine, I can just come..."

"Aren't you an ordinary old man?" Madeleine snorted, and the wand passed her arm again: "I'm used to the pain."

Madeleine may have added some other spells this time, blood spurted from her arm, and the bright red blood, like paint, covered the entire wall.Madeleine's already unfriendly face turned even paler. Now, even if someone suspected that she was a female ghost, she couldn't refute it.

Myrtle should welcome her happily.Madeleine snorted, thinking jokingly to herself.

Dumbledore reached out, grabbed her arm, and immediately unlocked Madeleine with his strangely shaped wand, making Madeleine's wound disappear.

"Miss Madeleine, this is a very disrespectful act." Dumbledore looked a little angry. Just as Madeleine wanted to refute something, Tom interrupted them again from the side: "The door is open."

As soon as the white light flashed, the wall disappeared. Madeleine and Dumbledore looked at each other. Dumbledore sighed and walked in.It was utterly dark inside, save for a green glow in one place.Dumbledore waved his wand, lighting up the dead door.

Madeleine took advantage of this time to drink the potion and looked inside. There was a black paste. Madeleine looked at it carefully for a while and said, "We can't go into the water."

"You noticed." Dumbledore looked at Madeleine without being surprised, and then said, "Miss Madeleine, it's better to breathe calmly."

Only then did Madeleine notice that she was panting heavily, and she slowly stabilized her breathing. At this moment, Tom floated in front of her eyes: "Your eyes... are like dragons."

Madeleine pursed her lips.

"Of course we won't go into the water." Dumbledore groped in the air: "I taught Tom... magic leaves traces, so I know what he will do."

He seemed to feel something in the air.

"Smelly old man." Tom said viciously, expressing his dissatisfaction with Dumbledore's speech just now.

Dumbledore ignored it, grabbed the thing in his hand, and a chain rushed into his hand in response to his movement: "Tom, this is the truth."

"..." Tom didn't speak, he flew across the lake first, and arrived at the place glowing with green light.

Dumbledore's wand tapped the chain again, and the chain began to slide, as if trying to pull something onto the tiger—a boat was pulled out of the lake, causing some fluctuations.Quietly, it slid over by itself and hit the opposite bank.The boat can only accommodate two people, and Madeleine is convinced that it is only right for two people to come.

... Tom was not alive after all.

Madeleine and Dumbledore boarded the boat. On the boat, Madeleine glanced at the bottom of the lake. There were dead bodies one after another: "I know Tom is afraid of death."

"Yes, you see, he made Horcruxes and placed the dead bodies in this dark lake... He thinks death is terrible, but I think he will change..." Dumbledore said softly: "Of course, Voldemort wouldn't necessarily change."

Dumbledore stretched out his hand and pressed Madeleine's head: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid." Madeleine replied, and changed the subject bluntly: "I don't think... Potter is not strong enough now..."

"Yeah, what a pity, you've been telling him what to do. But Harry is still a child, so he can't compare with you." Dumbledore sighed: "He still doesn't understand the meaning of life and death."

"Do you want him to understand?"

"..." Dumbledore didn't answer, because he knew that if Harry understood the meaning, it meant someone died.

Madeleine lowered her eyes again.

She felt that something under the lake was watching the ship quietly, which made her not very uncomfortable, but what was more uncomfortable was Dumbledore's silence.Dumbledore has always been a talkative person, today, he rarely spoke, as if he was thinking about what should happen to Harry next.

"I've thought about what I'm going to do next." In order to break the embarrassment, Madeleine said, she moved her fingers: "I want to be a Potions professor... If Voldemort dies, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor The curse should be gone too...then the godfather should be able to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts forever..."

"Professor Potions, that's a good idea," Dumbledore replied.

Madeleine matched her fingers, and continued, "There is just one problem..."

"Ha, I think I know what the problem is." Dumbledore smiled slightly, and Madeleine slightly looked away: "Well, I can't remember other people's names... I guess the students' names can't either. remember."

Dumbledore nodded: "But professor...Miss Madeleine, believe me, you have this ability."

Madeleine stopped talking again, and the boat reached the other side at this time.It was a very smooth rocky island. Madeleine and Dumbledore walked up to it. Tom was floating beside a stone basin. He looked into the stone basin silently, then looked up at Madeleine: "I think it's better for you to come."

"What?" Madeleine and Dumbledore walked over together, and there was a green glowing liquid in a stone basin with a base.Madeleine reached out to touch it, but stopped in front.Madeleine and Dumbledore looked at Tom together, and Tom made a drinking gesture and replied, "Drink it."

"The Horcrux is inside?"

"I think so."

Madeleine took out the empty potion bottle that she had just finished drinking, but was stopped by Dumbledore: "Let me do it, Miss Madeleine."

"Why?" Tom looked at the fluorescent liquid, and continued, "You don't need to worry about her, she won't die."

"Are you sure?" Dumbledore lowered his eyes slightly and asked, Tom was silent for a long time, and replied in a low voice: "I can, this is not something that can make people die instantly..."

"Alas..." Dumbledore sighed, trying to take the potion bottle from Madeleine's hand. Madeleine felt her fingers were a little stiff, and she still held the potion bottle: "Tom said, I Can."

"Let me do it," Dumbledore repeated.

Madeleine lowered her head slowly without speaking.

"Miss Madeleine, if you insist..." Dumbledore sighed, and as he waved his wand, the crystal cup fell into his palm.Madeleine raised her head and looked back at Dumbledore, and Tom also looked over: "Dumbledore, you'd better think carefully—if something really happened to you because of this thing...you can beat me The only one."

"Speaking of which, I recently heard a story...a very interesting story." Dumbledore said playfully, he pulled his sleeve back behind his arm, stretched out his hand, and spooned out the first cup of green liquid: "You can defeat Voldemort without me."

Madeleine watched his movements closely, and stretched out her hand to grab his arm: "It doesn't need to be like this, I can do it, I can bear the pain, I'm used to the pain."

"Then this habit is not a good thing." Dumbledore replied: "Thank you, Miss Madeleine, please take me back to Hogwarts after I drink the potion, I think we need your godfather .”

Madeleine's face turned blue, and Tom shouted angrily: "Dumbledore—how can you be so stupid!"

"Not stupid, Tom." Dumbledore looked at him and replied, "Sometimes, we need to make the right choice."

"That's the right choice."

His face was gloomy under the glowing green potion, but at this moment, Madeleine didn't think he was so annoying anymore.She slowly let go of her hand and looked at him quietly.

I saw Dumbledore closed his eyes, which were always full of kindness, and drank the bottle of liquid.

Madeleine felt that something was splitting open, she touched her chest, not quite understanding such emotion.Tom let out an unidentified growl, he couldn't understand Dumbledore's behavior, but Madeleine thought she could understand now.She looked up again, watching Dumbledore drink the second bottle—

Dumbledore wasn't so annoying, she thought.

This strange emotion is different from admiration for Snape, different from liking for Draco, different from closeness to parents, and not friendly to Pansy and the others.

She respects Dumbledore.
