Chapter 26 – The Cave

Dumbledore takes Harry to Hog's Head whence they Apperate to the cave in which Voldemort scared the two fellow orphans. They have to swim in and reaches the ante-chamber. Dumbledore knows it is there because Magic leaves traces. He understands that to gain entrance to the real chamber he needs to spill blood. Dumbledore gives his, because he says Harry's more valuable.

Inside the chamber they're standing at the edge of a lake and in the middle there is a misty green light. Harry tries to summon the Horcrux, but all that happens is that something shoots out of the water. After a bit, Dumbledore discovers the invisible boat. It's bewitched to only carry one with great magical power, but as Harry is underage, he doesn't count to Voldemort. While crossing to the island Harry discovers that the water is thick with Inferi. They reach the bank safe and they discover a basin with green potion. The only way to reach it is by a golden goblet. Dumbledore tells Harry that he shall drink the potion himself and warns Harry that it might be a poison, but suspect that if it is, the drinker won't die immediately. He makes Harry promise to feed him the rest of the potion if he is unable to finish it himself. Sure enough, it is a poison and Dumbledore screams and shouts, but Harry makes Dumbledore drink it. When all is drunk he asks Harry to give him water, but since Harry can't fill the goblet with water magically, he dips it into the lake. Now the Inferi come out of the water, but Dumbledore gets to his feet and creates fire. They manage to make their way out and when Harry tells the headmaster not to worry, he replies: 'I am not worried, Harry, I am with you.'
