Chapter 108: Flying in Mid-air! Glimpsing the Truth!

While running, Dudley sensed the trace threads he had installed on Hagrid and Dumbledore to lock their real-time positions.

Through sensing and his knowledge of the terrain around Hogwarts, Dudley had already determined that Hagrid and Dumbledore had joined forces and entered the periphery of The Forbidden Forest to search for Eris's trail.

Dudley passed through the castle gate that Filch had specially opened for him and came outside.

He gazed into the distance in the direction of The Forbidden Forest.

Then, his expression turned solemn. His legs began to emit a dazzling red light. With Strength Enhancement, he leaped three meters into the air and stomped heavily on a slanting, hard air brick in the mid-air, then shot towards The Forbidden Forest.

The air bricks in mid-air were created by Dudley just now using transfiguration to condense the air.

At this moment, Dudley was emitting a red light, leaning forward, and flying in mid-air.

Like a peerless master in martial arts novels performing extraordinary lightness kung fu, he created an air brick every thirty meters or so, borrowing force in the air and walking on nothingness, as fast as a ghostly phantom.

The careful Dudley also used the Silencing Charm to eliminate the loud noise made by his heavy stomping on the air bricks.

To avoid alerting the target and disturbing others

Such a shocking way of traveling naturally had an extraordinary speed.

Before long, Dudley had "flown" into the area of The Forbidden Forest.

In the forest, the trees were dense and there were many obstacles, which restricted Dudley's "flying" speed to some extent but not too much. Instead, it saved Dudley the trouble of continuously creating air bricks to borrow force.

He used the big trees in the forest as footholds, jumping and flying, which was more like lightness kung fu in martial arts novels.

Dudley had extremely strong psychological qualities. He leaped continuously in the quiet, dark forest without the slightest panic.

Following the guidance of the trace threads, before long, he saw the half-giant holding the big dog Fang on the left and a lantern on the right, and the old man in a nightgown with a solemn expression.

Dudley directly jumped from a tall tree and fell freely. When he was about to land, he used the Shock Absorption and Speed Stopping spell, hovering in the air for a few seconds to eliminate the impact of the fall and landed smoothly.

"An ingenious use of spells! Dudley, you've given me another pleasant surprise. It's a pity that I'm old and can't be as cool as you."

Dumbledore obviously had long noticed Dudley's approach. As soon as Dudley landed, he sent sincere praise.

"As long as you believe you're not old, age will never be an obstacle to you. Dumbledore, I believe you can be as cool as me too."

Dudley responded to the old man's praise with some motivational words, then quickly got back to the point. "You already know the current situation and my thoughts, right?"

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore's expression became solemn. "You suspect that Professor Eris is Voldemort's new vessel. Tonight, Professor Eris used the Invisibility Charm to come outside the castle to help Voldemort obtain unicorn blood to replenish his vitality."

"That's about it. But this time, Voldemort didn't possess anyone. Harry had a nightmare and dreamed that Voldemort possessed a python. Meanwhile, Voldemort has found new minions who have infiltrated into Hogwarts."

Dudley explained to Dumbledore, "I suspect that Eris is Voldemort's new minion."

"What... When I interviewed Professor Eris, I didn't notice anything wrong with her?" Dumbledore still couldn't quite believe it.

"That's because she might have extracted and stored her sensitive memories separately in advance!"

As Dudley said, he directly opened his Personal Space, took out Eris's suitcase, and placed it on the ground in front of Dumbledore and Hagrid.

"In this way, she can not only defend against Legilimency, but also perfectly disguise her body language and micro - expressions, making it hard for me to see through her!"

"Professor Eris actually has such a meticulous mind?"

Dumbledore was shocked. After listening to Dudley's story, he focused his gaze on the suitcase that Dudley had just taken out.

Hagrid immediately moved the lantern closer to illuminate for Dumbledore, very considerately.

"I can't be sure yet that Eris must have a problem." Dudley's expression also became serious. "We can only draw a conclusion after you crack this suitcase."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, drew out his Elder Wand, and directly pointed it at the constellation pattern on the suitcase.

In the next instant, without a violent flash of starlight, a hidden zippered compartment directly appeared on the suitcase.

"You're still the best, the old man!"

Dudley patted the old man's arm, very happy. Then, he waved his finger and used the Moving Spell to open the zipper from a distance, and took out the beautiful, delicate, art - like slender - necked memory bottle.

Looking at the silver - white glowing memory threads in the memory bottle, Dudley, Hagrid, and Dumbledore showed different expressions.

Dudley was excited about having guessed the answer with a little final uncertainty;

Hagrid looked like someone seeing something amazing for the first time. His expression was as if to say: Is there really such an absurd person in the world? Storing memories in a bottle and hiding it at home?

Dumbledore was a bit doubtful about himself:

"Did I actually pass another one of Voldemort's minions in the interview? Does the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class even affect me, the headmaster? It's really hard to guard against!"

"Stop daydreaming!"

Dudley couldn't wait to uncover the final mystery. "Let's see what secrets this Professor Eris is hiding!"

In the next few dozen minutes, just like when Harry gave a speech in the Great Hall, Dudley used the Aqua Eructo incantation, combined with the magic to reveal memory images, to create meditation water.

Together with Dumbledore and Hagrid, they watched Eris's hidden memories as if they were on the spot.

As expected, most of the memories were related to Voldemort.

There were also some extremely fragmented and incoherent memories that seemed to be related to Eris's family mission.

The memories related to Voldemort were very complete, allowing the three of them to fully understand the entire process of Eris meeting and getting along with Voldemort.

There wasn't much useful info in those fragmentary memories about the family mission.

Eris clearly cared more about this part of the memory. These memories were so fragmented that they didn't make much sense. One could barely tell that Eris had ill intentions when she returned to Britain this time and harbored deep malice towards an ancient family.

"Dudley, what do you plan to do next?"

After absorbing these astonishing memories, Dumbledore asked Dudley, "Voldemort is incredibly cunning. Not only did he set up dark magic for sensing and control inside Professor Eris's body, but he also didn't disclose his specific hiding place to her."

"Even when Professor Eris used her wand to summon him, the spell would automatically check if the surroundings were safe."

"It's not us who should be worried, Dumbledore."

Dudley was feeling pretty confident now. He continued, "Voldemort is obviously more desperate. We just need to make arrangements for Eris, then wait in comfort for the fatigued enemy and wait for Voldemort to come to us on his own!"
