Sherlock stared at the boat floating on the lake and said thinking.

“He used some kind of magic on this boat, and only one of us could sit on it.”

As he spoke, Dumbledore had already walked to the front of the boat, and he gently touched the edge of the boat, as if a carpenter was studying what material the hull was using.

“Yes, he used magic on this ship, but his magic power was not that strong at that time, or he subconsciously ignored something.”

Dumbledore said, then raised the wand in his hand.

“What the magic on this ship limits is adult wizards. Riddle looks down on the young wizards under the age of sixteen and other non-human magic creatures. He feels that such a person will not find this place, so there are loopholes in the limit, and we happen to be able to exploit this loophole.”

While speaking, he also waved his wand.

With just a simple wave and trembling, Dumbledore’s body changed surprisingly.

His whole body shrank rapidly, and his black robe turned into dark feathers on his body. After two seconds, he turned into a crow.

Dumbledore, who turned into a crow, flapped his wings lightly and fell on Sherlock’s shoulders. He opened his sharp beak and directed at Sherlock in the still old voice.

“Okay, we can go up now, Sherlock. Be careful not to touch the lake on the boat.”

Sherlock did not show any surprise to Dumbledore’s extraordinary means of deformation of human body. He has seen such skills many times before.

Sherlock stepped into the ghost boat, and after he walked in, the boat automatically began to sail and glide in the middle of the lake.

“I can understand becoming a small animal like a bird, but why would you choose a crow, professor?” Sherlock asked.

Dumbledore, standing on his shoulder, mentioned another thing instead.

“Do you know why Fox follows me?”

“Because… have you ever helped it?”

“Maybe there is this aspect, but the main reason is that the family I came from, and every member is born with an affinity with a creature like Phoenix, so there is a Phoenix like Fox who actually doesn’t like wizards who choose to follow me. You have a similar affinity, Sherlock.”

Sherlock couldn’t help but touch his forehead.

“You mean crow?”

“That’s right, in fact, these can be seen from the patron saint or Animagus. You are born to be favored by the crow tribe, and I became like this.On you, the magic attached to this ship will be more confusing. “

Sherlock complained silently.

“I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing when I’m favored by the crow. “

At this time, Dumbledore did not continue the topic with him, but stared at the bottom of the lake around the boat, where a few pale figures flashed by.

“They followed us at the bottom of the boat. “

Of course, Sherlock had noticed those who always followed them nbsp; “But they didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking? “

“Maybe they haven’t discovered that we are not Voldemort, or have other instructions. “

Just as this was the case, the boat suddenly stopped moving forward as if it had bumped into some hard object.
