Chapter 715 Poor Merope

Time soon came to October, and Fish, with the help of the good man Slughorn, held a birthday party for Hermione and Professor McGonagall.

On Professor McGonagall's birthday, he also called several other professors, including Dumbledore.

"This Friday night, bring Harry to my place." During the banquet, Dumbledore whispered to Fish: "I have a new story for you."

"Great!"

?(?≧?≦?)?

Although there was Slughorn's banquet, the Cat Club's party, and the two little Chimeras recently, which made Fish's campus life rich and colorful, Cat is still full of interest in new things.

"That's right, Albus."

(??w??)?

After cheering, Fish reached out and tugged on Dumbledore's clothes, tilted his head and asked, "Can I bring Ron with me this time?"

"Mr. Weiss..." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Of course you can, but can I ask why?" he asked curiously.

"Ron has been unhappy lately. Hermione said it was because Harry and I didn't play with him... Neville and the others obviously didn't react at all..."

(??w??)?

Maomao answered half-knowingly.

In fact, it's mainly because Ron has been a bit unlucky recently...

The Slug Club had no place for him, and Dumbledore didn't take him with him. What was even worse was that in the Quidditch trials, Ron's position as goalkeeper was taken away by seventh-year Cormac McLagan.

Although he later won the position of batsman, in any case, Ron had trained with the team for so long and played as a regular player for a year, but he was replaced by someone else in the most familiar position.

Well, this is really embarrassing, and Ron himself is a guy who really cares about face.

This has caused Ron to be in a bad mood for the past month, and Fish heard him grunting with self-pity more than once. But when Fish and Harry wanted to bring Ron to the Slug Club banquet, they failed.

He again met with a very decisive refusal.

So after asking Hermione, Maomao came to ask Dumbledore at her suggestion... Although Maomao still can't understand why Ron is unhappy.

Compared to Fish who was still confused, Dumbledore understood what was going on the moment Maomao answered. He smiled and said: "Then bring him here, but remember to let him

He kept it secret."

"Okay meow!"

(?`?′?)

The cat nodded, and then ran away to continue eating.

The day after celebrating Professor McGonagall's birthday, Fish told Ron the news, and he seemed very touched.

"This, this... thank you so much, Fish!" Ron thanked him at a loss.

At the same time, his face flushed red, feeling ashamed of his previous situation like a resentful woman.

Harry on the side also scratched his hair. Originally, this kind of thing should be asked by him, Ron's best friend.

As a result, during this period, he only focused on asking Slughorn about his mother. Coupled with the impact of Snape's incident, he ignored his friend's mood.

In Ron's gratitude, time soon came to Friday.

Harry used the invisibility cloak to cover himself and Ron, but Fish and Hermione naturally didn't need this. Even if they didn't use the cat form, they could still pass through Hogwarts after curfew...

But in order to save some face for Professor McGonagall, Fish basically swims at night in the form of a cat.

With Fish around, the journey from the Gryffindor dormitory to the principal's office was as smooth as ever. When the four people pushed open the gleaming oak door, Dumbledore was already sitting behind the desk waiting for them.

"Ha! Here comes another one!" Phineas mocked dissatisfiedly in the portrait: "You might as well just post the password for the principal's office directly on the bulletin board!"

"Do you have any objections to Fish bringing friends to play?!"

?(?`w′?)?

Before Dumbledore could say anything, Cat ran to Phineas's portrait and shouted.

Then Phineas stopped talking, he wouldn't be foolishly arguing with the cat.

"Don't worry, Mr. Weasley, you were allowed to be brought here by Fish only with my consent." Dumbledore said to the embarrassed Ron with a smile.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Dumbledore took out his Pensieve and a vial of new memories again.

Ron looked at the stone basin filled with silver substance curiously... Although he had heard Harry mention it many times, this was the first time he had actually seen it.

However, Hermione and Fish noticed that the broken disappearing cabinet had disappeared, and it seemed that it had been put away by Dumbledore.

"Last time we saw Voldemort's mother, the poor witch Merope, she escaped from the Gaunt family shortly after her father and brother were captured by the Ministry of Magic, and she was still with the handsome Muggle

Elope with Tom Riddle..."

Dumbledore did not immediately pour the memory into the Pensieve, but instead talked about what happened after the last memory.

"Riddle had no reason to elope with her, so...she used a love potion? Or was it the Imperius Curse?" Hermione asked keenly.

"I personally prefer the former." Dumbledore nodded and sighed: "However, a few months after they eloped and got married, Tom Riddle returned to the big house in Little Hangleton, but he didn't bring him with him

His wife and neighbors spread rumors that he insisted that he had been 'cheated' and 'hoodwinked'..."

"What happened?" Harry asked, "Did the love potion wear off?"

"This can only be based on speculation." Dumbledore said: "I think that Merope loves her husband deeply, and she cannot bear to continue to control him by magical means. Perhaps, she is because

She was so obsessed with love that she believed that her husband would fall in love with her in turn. She thought that her husband would stay for the sake of their children... But obviously, Riddle did not do this. He decisively escaped from Merope and left Merope alone.

She and her unborn child remained in London."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How do you know she is in London, Professor?" Harry asked again.

"Because of the evidence provided by Caractacus Bork." Dumbledore said: "He and Mr. Borkin opened a magic shop called Borkin-Bock in Knockturn Alley."

Harry let out a soft "Ah", and he remembered the shop where he met Malfoy and his son in Knockturn Alley. The owner was called Mr. Borgin.

Dumbledore glanced at Harry who suddenly understood, and didn't ask any more questions, because he already knew about Harry's mistake in Knockturn Alley.

He withdrew his gaze, opened the glass bottle containing Mr. Bock's memory, poured the silver substance inside into the pensieve, and at the same time stopped a certain little fur cat that was eager to try.

"Don't worry, Fei Xu, this memory is only for a short time, so there is no need to enter it directly."

Maomao curled his lips and sat back down again.

He has also experienced the mode of watching live without entering memory, which is a bit like watching TV.

I saw Dumbledore shaking the contents of the Pensieve, just like a gold digger sifting for gold. A little old man emerged from the constantly rotating silver-white objects. He slowly rotated in the Pensieve, looking so pale.

Like a ghost, but more textured than a ghost.

The content of the memory is very simple, it is the little old man telling how the impoverished and pregnant Merope came to him to sell Slytherin's locket.

"He only gave her ten galleons?" Harry said angrily.

"Ten galleons is a lot..." Ron muttered in a low voice...even he knew that this amount of money was nothing compared to Slytherin's locket.

Only Hermione caught the point, "Did you find it?! Slytherin's Locket?!"

But she still remembered Dumbledore's guess last time that Voldemort might have made it into a Horcrux.

"Unfortunately, no." Dumbledore shook his head and said: "I only got a few useless clues... It eventually fell into the hands of Voldemort, but this also confirmed our previous guess...

It is most likely a Horcrux."

He raised his wand and gently tapped the edge of the pensieve. After the silver substance in the basin rolled a few times, he said: "This time, we are going to enter my memory. I think you will find that it is not only the details

Vivid and accurate. You come first, Fei Xu..."

The impatient cat immediately held up the table and plunged into the pensieve.
