Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 259: Dumbledore’s actions
No matter what happened in the distant Spider's End, whether it was Wright in St. Catchpole, or Harry in Surrey, Little Huijin, he had no idea.
Dumbledore might know about this, but it will have to wait until he asks Snape.
What's more, there are still more things worthy of Dumbledore's attention. For this reason, he has pushed back several Wizengamore court trials and two meetings of the International Wizarding Federation.
There is no doubt that Dumbledore can pay enough attention to it. Except for the Grindelwald who was still in Newmontgard and chose to self-exile, it was only decades ago that made the entire British wizarding world restless. Voldemort was out. In the eyes of many people, Voldemort was wiped out by the magical little savior thirteen years ago, but Dumbledore has not let his guard down since he learned that Voldemort had made more than one Horcrux.
In his opinion, Voldemort's comeback is only a matter of time.
Dumbledore was naturally not afraid of Voldemort, he was just worried that Voldemort would return to the world with his immortal Horcrux three times and again, but he had already embarked on the path of death at that time. Therefore, what Dumbledore wanted to do was to take advantage of the resurrection of the remnant soul that escaped from Hogwarts a year ago, to wipe out all the Horcruxes that Voldemort had made.
But at this time, apart from knowing that the diary that confuses Ginny Weasley and opened the school’s secret room last year is one of the Horcruxes that Tom made during his student days, Dumbledore did not have enough Value information.
The appearance of the Horcrux, the location of the Horcrux, the clues of the Horcrux, and the most important thing is how many Horcruxes Tom has made.
Hogwarts Castle, the principal's room on the eighth floor.
"Jerry, if you don’t mind, can I ask you something?" Dumbledore’s palm lightly brushed the cover of the black diary. The diary, wailing in pain for the tearing of his soul, is still like a beacon in the dark night, slightly pointing out the way for him. "Of course I don't mind, Mr. Principal." Jerry stood on the steps under the principal's desk as always, nodding his head politely as if to show that this is a gentleman who pays great attention to etiquette, if his hair color is not like a castle If the green grass outside is so bright.
"The Horcrux, cruelly split a person's soul, and hide part of it in an object outside of the body." Dumbledore said the topic exactly as Jerry expected, "In this way, Even if the person's body is horribly attacked or completely destroyed, he will not die immediately, because there is still a part of the undamaged soul remaining in the world."
"Yes, Mr. Principal." Jerry smiled, and his handsome facial lines jittered slightly with his movements, but it didn't hurt half of the hero. "I understand my identity. I am from the former Tom. Riddle, a divided soul."
"No." Dumbledore shook his head slowly, shaking his waist-length beard and white hair with him, "Although I call you Jerry, this is just a trivial concealment method. . Your true identity, undoubtedly, is Tom."
"Yes, Mr. Principal."
"There are also many ways to split souls. In this "Decrypted Cutting-Edge Black Magic", Mr. Ole Brock also gave a detailed description of the steps." Dumbledore looked at another book on the desktop. The dark brown books on the head, and some faded silver fonts did not hinder its evil degree in any way.
Faced with such a topic, Jerry could already face it easily, because he knew that the old man on the steps would not do anything to him.
"Killing." Dumbledore's face was stern, and his mouth gently spit out this word that was not partly related to him, "Killing will split the soul, and wizards who want to make Horcrux will take advantage of this evil Act to seal the split soul fragments in the items he prepared early."
"The problem is," Dumbledore paused, "Do you think Voldemort will split up a few souls to make his Horcrux?"
"I don't know, Mr. Headmaster." Jerry said, "You know, I'm just a soul split from the Horcrux made by Tom Riddle during his student years, and all I have is that he is making this All the memories of the Horcrux before it. Regarding how many Horcruxes he has made in the rest of his life, I have no way to master it."
In Jerry's calm voice, there is a subtle gloat that is hidden.
But Dumbledore heard it and saw it, but he didn't reveal it.
"I'm not asking you to verify this question, I'm just asking for your opinion." Dumbledore said, "As a young Tom, how many times do you think Jerry will split your soul? I think you Have enough authority to explain your own thoughts."
Maybe twice? After all, who is a normal person who splits his soul many times?
Jerry wanted to say that.
But the contract he signed with Dumbledore previously prevented him from saying this perfunctory statement.
The power of the ancient contract made Jerry recall the exchange with Horace Slughorn, after a slug club banquet in his fifth grade.
Jerry said insincerely: "Isn't seven the most magical number, seven--?"
Seven? Dumbledore sorted out his thoughts~IndoMTL.com~The only evidence available so far that could show that Voldemort split his soul is this Horcrux diary.
According to information previously told by Wright, this Horcrux diary was stuffed into Ginny Weasley’s cauldron by Lucius Malfoy during the chaos. If you remember well, it happened to be the day when the Ministry of Magic raided Malfoy Manor. Lucius should have chosen to secretly throw out this diary in order to prevent the diary from being found out by the people of the Ministry of Magic, perhaps there was a little idea to plant the Weasley family.
Perhaps Voldemort didn't expect that Lucius would take off his diary. After all, the real purpose of the Horcrux was to securely seal a part of someone's soul, not to open a secret room and attack students.
However, since Voldemort will give his Horcrux diary to the Malfoy family, it can be seen that he does not attach much importance to this diary, and it is likely that he has produced more souls. Device.
Since Jerry thinks that he can split the soul seven times, Tom once thought about it too.
Dumbledore was not going to ask Jerry about the hidden location of the Horcrux. After all, this hidden location can be chosen at will, and the uncertainty is too high.
But since the Malfoy family has one, maybe some other Death Eater families also hide some Horcruxes. The Crabbe family and the Gower family cannot afford Voldemort’s favor, but the Lestrange family certainly doesn’t This glory will be missing.
As for other Horcruxes?
Dumbledore thought of Voldemort's pride and superiority. He didn't think that Voldemort would randomly choose items to make Horcruxes. The rusty iron pots on the roadside or the pebbles on the river bottom were not worthy of his arrogance. So, what would Voldemort choose?
Dumbledore had a few guesses in his heart.
