"Mission five has started: release Nagini (remaining time is 14 hours and 23 minutes)."

Release Nagini? Uh... Mission 5 is actually this.

Rosie was a little confused.

In the original work, Nagini only appeared for the first time in "Goblet of Fire". When Rosie was making a copy before, Nagini was not involved at all, so she never expected that Task 5 would involve Nagini.

Gini related.

Moreover, isn't Nagini Voldemort's helper? Why is the mission asking me to release it?

While thinking about it, Rossi glanced at the remaining time following the mission.

The limited time limit for starting the mission has been extended. Hmm... Could it mean that once this time is exceeded, Nagini will be completely tamed by Voldemort, so there is no need to release her?

Muttering silently, Rosie broke away from Harry's memory.

"How's it going? Professor, have you seen the place?"

Seeing her closed eyes open, Harry asked immediately.

Suppressing the thoughts in her mind, Rossi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I've seen it."

"Do you know where that is?"

"Riddle House, Little Hangleton."

Long before school started, Rossi had been near that village, trying to find possible clues and the Horcrux ring embedded with the Resurrection Stone.

Although she gained nothing, she was deeply impressed by several important places in the village.

"Riddle House in Little Hangleton?"

Harry, who had never heard of this place, was a little confused, "Why did I see that place in the vision?"

"because……"

You have a fragment of Voldemort's soul in your body.

Looking at Harry's slightly immature face and swallowing the words he was about to blurt out, Rossi pursed her lips and smiled, "I guess it's because of your scar, which was left by Voldemort. This may cause you to have a relationship with him.

There is some strange connection.

By the way, you may not know that Voldemort’s real name is: Tom Riddle.”

"What?!" Harry and Ron looked at each other in shock.

…

After speaking to the two of them for a few words and sending them away, Rossi chatted with Grace for a while.

Immediately afterwards, she left the dormitory and walked to the principal's office.

Although the mission was to free Nagini, she guessed that she would probably face Voldemort again this time.

Even though the other party's current condition may not be good, she still has to be on guard. Only by being fully prepared can she avoid unnecessary trouble.

Just as he went up the stairs to the seventh floor, he saw Mag walking down with a stack of documents in his arms:

"Good evening, Rosie, where are you going?"

"Good evening, Professor McGonagall."

Rossi nodded and replied, "I'm going to find Dumbledore. I'll see him if I have anything important to do."

"Albus went to the Ministry of Magic for a meeting. He just left not long ago. No, I have to prepare all the security documents that the students will sign tomorrow morning." McGonagall shook the thick towel in her arms.

That stack of documents.

"Going to a meeting at the Ministry of Magic? So late?"

"There was something urgent, so I summoned him overnight."

Urgent? Anxious for him to avoid me?

How could it be such a coincidence that he was called away as soon as I started the task? This is obviously because the system does not want me to complete the task easily!

Rosie was muttering in her heart when she heard Mag ask again:

"By the way, what's the important thing you said?"

"It's about Voldemort. I suspect he is hiding in the Riddle House in Little Hangleton." Rossi glanced around and said in a low voice.

"What?!!"

McGonagall looked at her in shock, her arms holding the documents tightened unconsciously, "I'm going to send a letter to Albus now to see if I can call him back."

With that said, Mag turned around and walked upstairs again.

"It's true! At the critical moment, Dumbledore would just disappear."

Looking at her disappearing back, Rosie muttered in a depressed voice.

There were only a dozen hours left for the mission, and she didn't think Dumbledore would be able to come back within the time limit.

After trying to find Snape again, after getting the reply "Wait until Dumbledore comes back", Rossi did not go to anyone else, but returned directly to the Ministry of Magic.

However, although she learned from her colleagues on duty at night that Dumbledore was holding a meeting in the minister's office on the first floor, she did not have the corresponding authority, so she could not go down to the first floor.

And it was late at night, and the colleagues in the Auror office were not at work, and Melody was not back from her trip...

Yes! It seems that I can’t count on anyone else.

Sighing, Rosie walked up to the fireplace alone.

"Little Hangleton!"

The swirling green flames lit up and went out, and the next moment, she appeared in front of the church in Little Hangleton.

Because it was late at night, everything was quiet.

After looking around to make sure there was no one nearby, she immediately activated her Animagus form and transformed into a petite snow bunny.

Riddle House was originally the most luxurious house in the village. It was located on the hillside, overlooking the entire village.

But since Voldemort killed old Tom Riddle's family who lived there, it has fallen into decline.

When Rosie went there before, there was an old man who was a gatekeeper living there.

But now that I think about it, I am afraid that he is already in danger.

The dexterous white rabbit jumped up the mountain road. After a while, she came to the outside of the yard where the walls were covered with creepers.

Not daring to get close at will, Rossi found a secret corner and transformed back into his human form.

Silent casting - Oolong comes out of the hole!

As the wand rose and fell, a long black snake appeared out of thin air.

The inverted triangular head shook from side to side, then drooped listlessly.

Seeing its appearance, Rossi couldn't help but smile and said in snake language: "Don't be so lethargic. Help me explore the way first. If there is a fight later, I will definitely ask you for help."

"you promise?"

The black snake raised its head and stared at her with its large, protruding vertical pupils for two seconds, then snaked its way towards Riddle House.

And Rosie turned into a snow bunny again, quietly watching over there.

Just as the black snake climbed up the collapsed low wall, a ray of white light suddenly penetrated its body. In an instant, its long body turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the night.

Immediately afterwards, a woman with a pale face, dull hair, and faded and shabby clothes jumped out from the wall.

No, she is a dead soul!

Rosie, who had owned the Resurrection Stone and had a deep understanding of the souls of the dead, immediately saw what she was and felt something was wrong.

Did Voldemort get the Resurrection Stone?

This is such a bad butterfly effect!

Muttering silently, the woman on the wall floated down and slowly walked towards Rosie's direction.

Did she find me?

With this thought in his mind, Rossi was about to transform back into human form and fight, when he saw a dead soul jumping up on the wall again.

It was an old man who was short and disproportionately tall. He was facing this side with a wrinkled face and said in a stiff tone:

"What did you find? Merope!"

Merope? Voldemort's mother? That old man is Marvolo?

Merope paused and stared back with two eyes that seemed to be staring in opposite directions: "Why don't you see for yourself?"

With that said, she walked back into the yard.

"Hmph! You rebellious bitch! With the support of your son who is alive and dead, how dare you talk to your father like that!" Marvolo yelled in anger.

"You dare to scold me, why didn't you wait until he was here?" Merop sneered.

"snort!"

Marvolo snorted and did not answer her words. Instead, he muttered, "That bastard boy, I don't know where he went, but he left us here to guard a snake! It's really..."

At the end of the sentence, he seemed to be cursing something, but he didn't let others hear him clearly.

Voldemort is not here? There are only two dead souls here?

After hearing the conversation between the two, Rossi silently guessed, could it be that Voldemort was in a bad state and his soul-herding skill could only summon blood relatives?
