v2 Chapter 1441： Young Dumbledore (1/2)

Dumbledore poured the new memory into the meditation basin, then gently lifted the stone basin with his slender hands.

”You both have seen the early experience of Voldemort. We have said before that the handsome Muggle, Tom Riddle, who abandoned his witch wife Merop and returned to his village in Little Hangleton. My home. Merope is alone in London, with the child in the belly who will become Voldemort in the future...”

”Professor, how do you know she is in London?”

”Because there is evidence from Karaktakus Bock,” said Dumbledore. ”It’s a coincidence that it was a book that he founded. It was the sale of the one we said that made Katie hurt. The shop of the necklace.”

”Bojin-Bock Black Magic Store.” Ai Wen said.

”Yes, he is the owner of this store.” Dumbledore said.

He shakes the things in the meditation basin, just like the gold digger screens gold.

A small old man emerges from the constantly rotating silver-white object. He slowly rotates in the meditation basin, pale like a ghost, but more textured than a ghost. His hair is very thick and his eyes are completely covered.

”Yes, I got it under very special circumstances. It was a young witch who brought it before Christmas. It was already a lot of years ago. She said that she urgently needs money, yeah. It was obvious. She was ragged, her face was pregnant, and she was pregnant. She said that the pendant was formerly Sarah Slytherin.” Mr. Bojin smiled disdainfully, “Cough, I I heard such a ghost all day long: Hey, this is Merlin’s thing, God, I swear, really, this is his favorite teapot...”

”But I took a closer look. The pendant box had the Slytherin family's mark. I read a few simple spells and got the truth from the woman. Of course, that thing is simply worthless.” The woman doesn't seem to know how valuable it is. It only sells ten Galleons. It is the most cost-effective deal we have made!”

Dumbledore shook the meditation basin extraordinarily, and Karaktakus returned to where he had just appeared, sinking into the memory of the rotation.

”He said this is the lock box?” Ai Wen exposed the pendant behind the dress.

”Yes, it's really worth the price.”

Ai Wen agreed to nod, this thing is simply priceless.

”But he only gave her ten Galleons?!” Harry said indignantly.

”Karak Takus Bock is not a generous person,” said Dumbledore. ”So we know that Merop stayed alone in London in the late stages of pregnancy, eagerly needing money and having to sell it. The only valuable thing in her body, Slytherin’s locket box is also a heirloom that Mavolo cherishes.”

”I don't understand, Merope is a witch. Why doesn't she get food and everything through magic? It doesn't cost money, just magic can solve this problem.”

”Well!” said Dumbledore. ”No one can figure this out. We can only guess now, maybe she can. But I think, I am guessing again, but I believe that I am right, I think After Merop was abandoned by her husband, she no longer used magic. She was greatly hurt emotionally. She thought that she was abandoned by his Muggle husband because she was a witch. She probably didn’t want to be a witch anymore. Of course, there is another possibility. Her unrequited love and the resulting despair have greatly weakened her power. Such things will happen, and intense emotional fluctuations will produce their own magic. In short, you will see later, even at the last moment, Merope will not raise his wand to save his life.”

”Maybe after Riddle left, she was going to die!” Ivan guessed.

”Probably...” said Dumbledore.

“Is she even not willing to survive for her son?” Harry asked.
