Stepping out of the railway station, as last year, many parents of little witches were already waiting there.
Hermione's parents, the Grangers, Ron's parents, the Weasleys, and Harry's much-disliked uncle and aunt.
Though Sirius' guilt has been cleared, Fudge wants to maintain the reputation of the Ministry of Magic, so after consulting with Dumbledore and Sirius, he did not choose to immediately disclose the truth.
Instead, they decided to hold a press conference specifically on a certain day to solemnly announce the truth of the matter and present George with an award as the biggest contributor.
In fact, Fudge's purpose was very simple, that is, to publicize the truth after George took office at the Ministry of Magic.
This would be beneficial for the Ministry of Magic, for George, and for Sirius Black, so no one opposed it.
At present, except for the Ministry of Magic officials and teachers who were present at the time, George, and a few others like Harry, most of the wizarding world still considers Sirius Black as an escaped convict.
Therefore, before the press conference of the Ministry of Magic started, Sirius Black would hide in Hogwarts, and Harry had to stay at his aunt and uncle's house.
Once the press conference is over, Harry can live with his godfather, Sirius Black, and reside at 12 Grimmauld Place.
As he watched Hermione and the others being taken away, George disappeared directly with the Portkey Charm without revealing himself.
Although he was not yet of age, George had already removed the trace magic placed on him by the Ministry of Magic, so he could cast spells freely without worrying about being discovered by the Ministry.
"The old Black family estate should be here."
Instead of immediately Portkey Charming back to the shop in Diagon Alley, he instead came to 12 Grimmauld Place first.
The reason for coming from here is quite simple, that is, to take away Voldemort's soul piece necklace.
He doesn't intend to destroy all the Horcruxes right now, but that doesn't mean he will ignore those Horcruxes either.
In case Voldemort moves the locations of those Horcruxes, it will also be a headache to find them later.
Since he knows the locations, he will collect all the remaining Horcruxes together first. When Voldemort becomes useless, it's not too late to destroy them all.
Disappearing into the dark doorway, he released his spirit energy to scan the entire Black mansion, and soon he found the location of the pendant box containing Voldemort's soul power.
"It seems to be here."
George Disappeared directly to the glass cabinet on the second floor of the mansion and glanced inside.
A rusty short sword, an animal's claw, coiled snake skin, a decorative crystal jar with an opal inlaid on it, containing blood; a silver nasal box that bites; a tumor powder; a multi-legged tool resembling forceps that can climb like a spider; a music box that can induce sleep; and an ornamental box that no one can open.
He reached out and picked up the ornamental box that no one could open, waved his hand with the Enchantment Charm to produce an identical fake, and then disappeared.
The ornamental box is the Snitch, which is also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Years ago, Voldemort hid this Horcrux in a cave on a remote island far from the orphanage where he spent his childhood. He set up various magical traps for protection and even planned to sacrifice Regulus's house-elf.
This allowed Regulus Black, also known as Sirius Black's brother and a Death Eater who worshipped Voldemort, to see his true nature.
Therefore, Regulus sacrificed his own life and used the fake Horcrux to replace the real one in the trap, so that his house-elf Kecheli could take it away and destroy it.
Unfortunately, despite trying countless methods, Kecheli was unable to destroy the pendant box and had to place it in the glass cabinet on the second floor.
"Imprisonment!"
He used the Imperturbable Charm to seal the dark magic inside the Snitch and placed it in the Apparition Disguise Box. George then Apparated to Hangington.
At the age of sixteen, Voldemort came to the Gaunt family's old estate, knocked out his uncle Morfin Gaunt, and killed Tom Riddle Senior and the Riddle couple with Morfin's wand, framing him.
Afterwards, he stole the family heirloom passed down to Morfin from his ancestor Marvolo Gaunt - the Gaunt ring with the Resurrection Stone embedded in it. He turned it into a Horcrux and left it hidden below the Gaunt family estate, surrounded by many magical traps.
Stepping into the Gaunt family estate, now overgrown with nettles and abandoned for many years, he sent out his spirit to scan, quickly locating the position of the ring.
Breaking through the magical traps protecting the ring with a black stone, a ring with a black stone appeared before his eyes.
"The curse power is so malevolent. It's no wonder Dumbledore was also cursed."
The moment he picked up the ring, a powerful curse force burst forth from it, spreading up his hand.
However, the pure light power in George's hand rose, dispelling all the dark forces.
In the original work, Dumbledore, upon recognizing the Resurrection Stone on the ring, was swayed by his guilt over his sister's death and impulsively put on the ring to revive her.
As a result, he was cursed by Voldemort's dark magic, which ultimately led to the necessity for Snape to end his own life in order to win Voldemort's trust.
However, such a powerful curse poses little threat to him now. As a dragon, his body alone has enough magical resistance to withstand the curse's power.
"Stone that can revive the dead, time to study."
He picked up the ring and looked at it closely, then cast a spell to seal the power of Voldemort within, throwing it into the Apparition Disguise Box as well.
He had no interest in the Horcruxes, but as one of the three Deathly Hallows, the Resurrection Stone piqued his interest.
To be honest, the three Deathly Hallows, the only one that is somewhat interesting is the Resurrection Stone.
The Amplification effect of the Elder Wand is not as good as the Amplification effect of the wand he made with his own dragon body. The Invisibility Cloak, apart from making him invisible, has no particularly special effects.
However, the Resurrection Stone touches upon the laws of life and can bring the dead back to life.
Even if this resurrection has a great disadvantage, those brought back to life will never be happy and will also drive the resurrecter to madness and mental breakdown.
He has learned the art of necromancy in the world of magical apprentices. It can bring the dead back to life as spirits. Perhaps studying this Resurrection Stone will be helpful for his necromancy.
The final destination, Gringotts, where he can collect the Gryffindor Cup and then return home after obtaining it.
Gringotts, known as the most secure place in the wizarding world, with dragons guarding the vaults below. However, for true top-level wizards, it's not very tight.
Two years ago, Caius Fleabottom infiltrated Gringotts with Voldemort. If it weren't for Dumbledore having Hagrid take the Philosopher's Stone away early, the Stone would have been stolen.
For George, the defensive measures of Gringotts are a joke.
