Ivan blinked and looked at Dumbledore in astonishment.
On the shore of the dark lake not far away, Dumbledore didn't turn around, he turned his back to everyone, as if what happened just now had nothing to do with him.
Sirius, Harry, and Hermione opened their eyes wide, waiting for his next move.
Everything was the same as before, and everything became unreal again. Ivan tried hard to recall that wonderful feeling, looking for traces left by magic.
It was not as strong as before, but he could still feel the position of the boat clearly and unmistakably.
Even if the eyes can't see it, the traces of magic left by Voldemort on the ship are still very clear.
Alvin nodded, trying to remember this feeling.
Of course, it is one thing to be able to notice the traces of magic, and quite another to recognize the magic and break it.
He concentrated, wanting to see what Dumbledore was doing.
In front of them, Dumbledore still clenched that hand in the air, and with the other he held his wand, and tapped the tip of his wand on his fist.
Immediately, a thick green copper chain suddenly emerged from the depths of the lake and rushed towards Dumbledore's clenched fist.
Dumbledore tapped the chain with his wand, and the chain began to slip through his fist like a snake, coiling up in a heap on the ground, and the tinkling sound echoed loudly as it hit the rock wall.
The chain pulled something up from the dark bottom of the lake, and they all watched in amazement as the prow of a small boat emerged from the lake like a ghost, glowing green like a chain, and floated towards the shore where they stood, almost without a trace. Bring a ripple.
"How do you know it's there?" Harry asked in surprise.
Sirius and Hermione also looked at Dumbledore curiously, while Ivan tried to remember the strong feeling of the magical change when the chain and the boat appeared.
"As I said, magic always leaves traces," said Dumbledore, as the boat hit the shore with a soft thud. "Sometimes, the traces are very obvious. I taught Tom Riddle , know his style."
"Is this boat safe?" Harry didn't understand Dumbledore's words, he scratched his head and continued to ask, "It won't"
"Oh, I think it's safe. Voldemort needs a way to get across the lake in case he needs to visit or take his Horcruxes, so as not to irritate those he's planted in the lake."
"If we crossed the lake in Voldemort's boat, those guys in the water wouldn't be trying to get us, would they?"
Judging by Harry's expression, he was obviously worried.
What would they do if the boat suddenly sank halfway in the lake? !
In fact, not only Harry, Sirius, Ivan, and Hermione also had the same worries, and the terrifying picture couldn't help appearing in their minds: When they took this boat far away from the lake shore, those hands that appeared just now Will stick out of the dark lake.
"I think we must be mentally prepared. Once they find out that we are not Voldemort, they will definitely attack us." Dumbledore said calmly, "We can't escape. Don't forget the purpose of our trip. We will definitely fight with Voldemort." They came face-to-face, which was almost inevitable. So far, so far, so well. If he allowed us to bring the boat out of the lake, he must have allowed us to use it."
"But why did Voldemort let us do this?" Harry demanded.
"Too proud and only trusting in his own strength is another weakness of his, Harry!" said Dumbledore. "Voldemort firmly believed that only very skilled wizards could discover this boat. I think, since he is ready It is almost impossible for him to take the risk of letting others discover the boat, but with his character, he will definitely set up some obstacles in front of him that only he can cross. If there is no accident, it should be that The stone altar used to store the Horcruxes and the liquid inside, I can't wait to see what's inside."
Everyone leaned over and looked down at the boat. It was indeed a very small boat.
"I don't understand, Professor?!" Hermione said softly, "This boat, it doesn't seem to be for us, it's too small, can it bear the weight of us? Five people and Kreacher , will it be too heavy if we add it together?"
Hermione's worry is very necessary. Although measured by the area, everyone can barely stand on it, but from the perspective of common sense, this boat can only carry one or two people at most.
Dumbledore laughed softly at Hermione's words.
"Don't worry about that, Voldemort doesn't think about weight, he only thinks about how much magic power has crossed his lake. I think the boat may have been enchanted so that it can only hold a limited amount of magic power at a time. "
"But"
"It's worth the risk." Dumbledore took a step forward, and the boat went down heavily, with a deep draft, and stopped a quarter of the way from the edge of the boat.
The boat shook for a while, and it seemed that it might sink to the bottom at any time.
Harry and Hermione couldn't help screaming, and Sirius took a step forward, trying to support Dumbledore.
But nothing happened, and after rocking, the boat gradually stabilized.
"Very well, as I guessed, you can come up. I think, compared with my strength, the strength of you guys is probably negligible." Dumbledore said, "Be careful, don't touch the water. "
Dumbledore stepped aside and Sirius stepped up.
Everyone's hearts were raised, and they looked ahead nervously. The boat sank a little more, shook slightly, and then stopped immediately.
The depth of the draft this time was simply incomparable with the depth when Dumbledore went up.
If the ship is not calculated by weight but by magic power, then the gap between Sirius' magic power and Dumbledore's magic power is very obvious.
If you insist on describing it, it is like the gap between a tank of water and a bottle of water.
Then came Harry and Hermione.
The two of them climbed onto the boat carefully. The space above the boat was already very small. From a normal perspective, the boat might sink at any time.
But nothing happened, the boat didn't even shake, it floated there steadily, and the draft hardly changed.
It was so unbelievable that Harry and Hermione seemed to be weightless.
This also means that, in terms of magic power, the two of them together are not as many as Sirius alone, let alone compared with Dumbledore.
If Sirius's magic power is the size of a bottle of water, Harry and Hermione's magic power is like a glass of water. (.)
