Harry Potter and the Temple of Tales

"Ah, Louis, you're here."

Dumbledore's voice sounded from behind the middle-aged man, and Louis walked around the man's body and came to Dumbledore's desk.

"Is this the outstanding student you were talking about, Albus? He is indeed a talented person." The man looked Louis up and down.

"Professor Dumbledore? I'll come back later." Being stared at by the serious and fierce-looking man, Louis was a little frightened. He pointed to the office door and backed down.

"It doesn't matter. I just finished talking to Igor and you happened to come in." Dumbledore waved his hand to stop Lewis from leaving.

"Then it's settled Albus, just let our ship enter the waters of Hogwarts." The man named Igor turned and left, his eyes lingering on Louis for a moment.

"Then I won't send it to you."

As the office door was closed, Dumbledore turned his attention back to Louis.

"Eat some cockroaches, kid, you look nervous."

"Professor, that person just now was..."

"Igor Karkaroff, the current principal of Durmstrang School, oh, by the way, you should know that Hogwarts is not the only wizarding school in the world."

Louis nodded. There were about eleven or twelve wizarding schools that he knew of, but there were only a few of the more famous ones.

"Durmstrang is as famous as Hogwarts. It is the top wizarding school in Germany. It is also the only school that tolerates the study of black magic." Dumbledore explained, "The students they recruit are more than

Slytherin House is more strict, and even mixed-race is not their consideration."

"But apart from the policy of condoning the dark arts, it is indeed an excellent school."

It is relatively outstanding. After all, it is the alma mater of your closest friend.

However, was that Igor Karkaroff just now? In Louis's image, this Karkaroff seemed to be a Death Eater before. Later, after being caught by Mad-Eye Moody, he betrayed Voldemort and sold some hidden treasures.

Execution of Death Eaters, including Barty Crouch Jr.

"Okay, Louis, everyone has left. If you have any questions, you can talk about it later." Dumbledore pushed up his glasses, "I came to see you this time. I really have something to tell you."

Louis scratched his head. He did have a question to ask Karkaroff. After all, he was Principal Durmstrang. Maybe he knew some information about his mother.

"Do you still remember last year, I asked you about that diary?"

"Remember, Professor." Louis replied, "I told you that it was a Horcrux."

"It was your words at that time that reminded me that I suspected that Voldemort had created more than one Horcrux."

Lewis squinted his eyes. As expected of Dumbledore, he could think of this.

Because according to ordinary people's thinking, creating one Horcrux is already a heinous crime, and no one would think that there are more than one.

"So, Professor, you have a clue about another Horcrux?"

Dumbledore opened the drawer and threw something like a card to Louis.

This is an invitation letter, which reads: The Cliona Auction Guild sincerely invites the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, to participate in the 1994 Cliona Auction.

"Auction?" Louis was a little confused. Could this auction also include Horcruxes for sale?

"There are just some clues." Dumbledore sat on the chair, "Originally I didn't want to participate in this auction, but this time there was an item for sale that caught my attention."

He pointed at the invitation with his magic wand, and several lines of fonts flashed on the paper, which were all the items in the auction.

"Gaunt ruins boundary stone?"

Looking along the way, he caught a glimpse of what Dumbledore wanted to cure.

"I probably haven't told you about Voldemort's life experience. His mother is Merope Gaunt, who is also a descendant of Salazar Slytherin."

"After Voldemort killed his father and grandparents, he wreaked havoc on the old Gaunt mansion. Later, people discovered that the ring belonging to the Gaunt family was missing. At the same time, the old mansion was everywhere.

Mist and illusion, almost none of the wizards who went back came back alive."

Obviously, this is Voldemort's way of protecting the Horcruxes.

"Later, the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to seal a barrier there, and only those with barrier stones were allowed to pass through." Dumbledore said, "People believed that there must be some treasure there."

"But if it's sealed by the Ministry of Magic, they won't care if the enchantment stone is sold at auction?"

"It doesn't matter to the Ministry of Magic. If something is exposed there, it will be beneficial to them."

Lewis nodded, but he put the invitation back on Dumbledore's desk.

"But this seems to have nothing to do with me, Professor." Louis smiled bitterly, "You are invited to the auction..."

"The president of Cleona specifically asked me to bring the creator of the Fountain of Life, so in fact, they invited you, Louis." Dumbledore smiled, "And when the time comes to find the Horcrux,

need your help."

"Me?" Louis choked at Dumbledore's words. No, let's forget about this auction. Why don't you ask Harry to come to me to find the Horcrux?

"Because your understanding of Horcruxes really impressed me. Perhaps knowing more about Voldemort will be more helpful for you to assist Harry in the future."

"But the date of the auction..." Louis turned over the invitation letter, his expression suddenly changed, "It's today!!"

He looked at Dumbledore with strange eyes, always feeling like he was being tricked by this old man.

"But I have to go home tomorrow, and my luggage..."

"I have already written to Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins. They are very happy that you can go on the mission with me. As for the luggage, I have packed it for you and will send it home for you."

Dumbledore said slowly, as if asking, do you have any other plans?

"I..." Lewis couldn't refuse at all, and Dumbledore cut off his retreat.

"In that case." Dumbledore stood up and walked to the window of the principal's office, "Then let's go."

"well..."

Lewis sighed, grabbed a handful of cockroaches and stuffed them in his mouth, then walked over to Dumbledore and grabbed his arm.

"I'm ready, come on."

Old Dengtou smiled slightly, and with a "swipe" of the ground, a phantom disappeared into the principal's office.

The sun shone into the room, leaving only a fiery red phoenix singing loudly on the table. People in the school had no idea that their principal was missing again. It seemed that the absence of the principal in the school had become normal.
