Vol 2 Chapter 1: Liquid in stone basin

What Ivan most care about is the strange lines on the pendant.
He always felt the secret hidden in it, although Dumbledore and Voldemort had contacted the locket and found nothing.
But it is not clear why, Ai Wen has this feeling.
Dumbledore looked at Ai Wen and immediately returned to normal. His face was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.
He waved his wand and dragged the boat with his own magic. Now, no one but him knows how much Ai Wen’s magic is.
Sirius, Harry, and Hermione were also a little surprised, but didn't think much.
In their view, it is a miracle that such a small ship can carry so many people. After Ai Wen came up, the reason for the boat sinking quickly may be because the critical limit has been reached.
Under the toss of Dumbledore, the boat set off immediately, and there was silence in the four places, only the soft rustling of the bow through the water.
The boat was driving automatically, without them, it seemed that there was an invisible rope pulling it towards the green light in the middle of the lake. Soon, the rock walls of the caves were invisible, they felt like they were in the sea, but there were no waves around them.
As the boat progressed, the light of the wand was reflected in the black water, sparkling with a little golden light.
The boat cut deep ripples on the smooth glass surface of the glass, like the groove on the black mirror
Just then, Harry screamed in horror, "I saw, those corpses are not far below the water."
Ai Wen looked at the place pointed out by Harry. Under the light of the magic wand, he saw a dead man lying on his back a few inches from the water: his squinting eyes were fascinated, as if there were spider webs inside. The hair and robes swirled around his body like smoke.
Obviously it was a dead body, but he was full of cobwebs, but he was very surprised to follow them, and the eyes inside turned quietly.
The body seemed to be able to jump out and attack them at any time, but it didn't move until the boat crossed.
"They didn't find our identity, but I believe that when we touch Voldemort's organs, we will find that they are not so quiet!" Dumbledore whispered, "It's almost coming, Voldemort's purpose has been reached, in order to Dragging this boat doesn't sink, it has consumed me a lot of magic."
Ai Wen turned his head to see Dumbledore and listened to what he said. The white haze he used to hold the boat was very magical, or he was already consuming his magic and had reached the requirements of the ship. standard.
He suddenly had some concerns. If Dumbledore had no magic, what should they do later?
Except for Dumbledore, no one here is an opponent of thousands of corpses.
After a few minutes, the green light in the center of the lake seems to have finally become bigger and brighter. The boat slammed into something and stopped.
Ai Wen didn't see it at first. When Harry lifted his glowing wand, he saw them coming to a smooth rocky island in the middle of the lake.
"We are here, be careful not to touch the lake." Dumbledore warned again.
Everyone climbed down from the boat, and Avon was the first one. He got off the boat and returned to his original appearance, and quickly pulled out his wand.
Hermione behind him, she finally looked relieved.
Then there was Harry, Sirius, and the last one was Dumbledore, who used his wand to take back the fog that floated under the boat.
Ai Wen carefully looked at the small island in front of him, almost the same size as Dumbledore's office: a large flat black slate, empty, only the light source that emitted the green light. Now that I am close, the green light is much brighter.
Ai Wen narrowed his eyes and looked at it. He saw the green light coming from an ancient round stone basin with a base under the stone basin.
Dumbledore approached the stone basin, and others rushed to the past.
They are centered around the stone basin and lined up around it. Inside the stone basin, it is filled with a basin of emerald green liquid, sparkling phosphorescence.
According to the way Dumbledore had just handed it to himself, Avon tried to feel the magical traces left on these liquids.
The magic power is very strong, but it is not the magic that he is familiar with. It is very strange to say what it feels.
In addition to these liquids, the stone basin and base used to load the liquid do not seem ordinary, and there is a strong defensive magic.
Ai Wen carefully observed, the more I saw it, the more I was shocked.
In front of these green liquids, there is a strong magic hidden in it, and it is very evenly distributed. He doesn't know which kind of potion is this, and what kind of magic is applied to the stone altar. In all the knowledge he knows, No one can use it.
If you don't already know the result, let him solve it with his own strength. To be honest, Ai Wen doesn't know what to do.
As for standing on the side, Sirius, Harry, and Hermione, who are confused, are even more impossible to know.
It can be seen that Voldemort's strength and magic theory are beyond their level and beyond the ordinary wizards.
"Professor, what is this?" Harry couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure!" Dumbledore carefully observed the stone basin and the liquid inside, whispered, "The only certainty is that this is something more worrying than blood and dead bodies. I am glad that we have hidden inside." Something was taken out."
Dumbledore observed it for a while, then shook his sleeves up and his fingertips reached the surface of the liquid.
"No, don't touch it!" everyone shouted in unison.
"It's not that simple, I can't touch it." Dumbledore smiled faintly. "Is it visible? My hand can't move any further, you can give it a try."
Sirius, Avon, Harry, and Hermione hesitated, and at the same time, their fingers reached the stone basin and tried to touch the liquid.
However, when they encountered an invisible resistance, their hands could not access the liquid.
No matter how hard it is to stretch down, the tip of the finger seems to be hard and indestructible, and the liquid itself has not changed.
"Please let me know, I think you can try this spell, maybe it will work!" Dumbledore said, he raised his wand, made some complicated movements on the surface of the liquid, and silently recited something in his mouth.
However, there is no movement.
The phosphorescence of the green liquid seemed to be brighter, and they looked at Dumbledore silently until he retracted his wand.
"professor?"
"Great, really great!" Dumbledore said with appreciation. "If I didn't guess wrong, this should be the potion that Voldemort himself invented. I have to say that he is indeed Hogwarts' history, all graduates. The best one."
"But you can definitely crack it, right?" Harry said hopefully.
"No, I can't, Harry!" Dumbledore shook his head. "This liquid, the handcuffs don't go in, can't separate it, dry it or pump it out, or use the vanishing charm to make it disappear. Magic deforms it or alters its properties in other ways. I can only conclude that this liquid needs to be drunk!"
"Drink?!" Except for Ai Wen, everyone else looked at him with surprise.
"Yes, at least I think it is like this. Only by drinking it can the stone basin be empty and get inside." Dumbledore said calmly. "From this point of view, I have to admire Regu. Les, his sacrifice is very meaningful." (To be continued.)
