Just when Jon was reporting the situation in Grindelwald's office.
After Lily got to know Harry and Neville Ron of this world and got to know each other, she took him non-stop to find the portrait of Slytherin.
How to solve the problem of Harry's Horcrux, her biggest hope was Slytherin.
Because it was he who guided the time-traveled Voldemort to reabsorb the originally split soul, and the items that originally stored the Horcruxes seemed to be intact. They had all been in Hogwarts Castle.
It is displayed in the principal's office.
Since there are solutions to those things, there is no problem with Harry's current situation.
Lily and Harry quickly found the place where Dumbledore fell asleep. McGonagall was usually responsible for taking care of this place. All the structures were unchanged from before, and the portraits of all the previous principals were still hanging here.
After they came in, Harry saw Dumbledore lying on the bed with a peaceful face, his breathing was steady and his body was perfectly normal, but he was unconscious, and he felt inexplicably sad.
No matter which world Dumbledore was from, he never felt alienated. There seemed to be no difference between the two.
"We shouldn't be sad, he is just resting. He has done enough for us, and now he also needs to rest."
Lily said softly, pulling Harry out of his sour mood.
And just as they entered the room, the portraits on the wall all focused their attention on them.
Of course they all knew Lily, and the one they were focusing on was naturally Harry, whom they had never seen before.
"Is this your son?"
It was very easy for Doris to guess Harry's identity. After all, the eyes of mother and son were so similar.
"Yes."
Immediately, there was a burst of exclamation from the principals on the wall. They seemed to be watching some rare species and began to comment on Harry.
"Is this the legendary child of prophecy?"
"It's better not to mention that prophecy, because this Sibyl has ruined her family's reputation."
"But hasn't it already proven that her prophecy is actually right? The reason why this situation occurs in our world is just because Voldemort traveled back and changed what was originally established."
"Well, that proves that Sybil still has some real abilities."
"You missed a premise. If she can get rid of her bad habit of making curse words every time she meets people, then I can admit that she has some real abilities."
Harry didn't feel any change in their discussion. The portraits of the headmasters were basically the same as those in the headmaster's office of Hogwarts where he was. However, Harry felt a little uncomfortable about the casual conversation between them.
A sense of intimacy.
Except for that one, he felt very familiar. He seemed to have seen him there. Ever since he entered the room, he had been staring at him. He had a goatee and looked more like a monkey in his old age.
At this time, Lily had already respectfully addressed the person in the portrait by his title.
"Mr. Slytherin, I came here today to ask you to help check on Harry."
Hearing Lily's name, Harry suddenly remembered why he thought this old man looked familiar.
When he was in second grade, he and Ron had seen his statue in the secret room, and the appearance in the portrait was exactly the same as that statue.
"I noticed him as soon as he came in."
Slytherin's voice was not pleasant, and his eyes were always fixed on Harry, making Harry feel as if he was being targeted by some kind of venomous snake.
"A living person who was made into a Horcrux."
After he said these words, the whole room was quiet for a moment. The principals who were still chattering and noisy showed dull expressions on their faces, and then their eyes began to shine, and they looked at Harry.
It's like looking at some kind of living fossil!
"Can humans be made into Horcruxes?"
“If animals can do it, why can’t people?”
"Then kill him? Kill him to defeat Voldemort? Well, it makes sense."
"Shut your mouth! Phineas, no one will think you are mute if you don't speak!"
Lily did not listen to the shock of the principals, but looked at Slytherin seriously and even pleadingly.
"Can you help him?"
"People and objects are different."
Slytherin's expression was very serious. He looked at Harry with his cloudy eyes and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"People are more complex, especially wizards with magical powers and souls with normal thinking. Now another soul fragment is entangled with him, and it is obviously not just for a while. They have already established an extremely close connection. This connection
It is not an easy task to cut off your son without causing damage..."
Lily's face suddenly became disappointed, but she also heard that Slytherin did not say anything to death. It was not an easy thing, nor was it something completely impossible.
Slytherin was thinking, as if he was remembering something.
"But there is a kind of magic that is very interesting. It seems to be able to accurately distinguish between two different types of magic, and then absorb part of it. I think this magic may be applied to Horcruxes."
Lily held her breath.
"What magic?"
"I don't know. The person who used it never said what kind of magic it was, and it seems that only one person knows it. But the only good news is that this person is on our side."
...
"...Universal curse removal is far beyond conventional magic, but because it is universal, it has great limitations. However, if the magic is powerful enough and the will is strong enough, then this range will be infinitely enlarged.
.”
After listening to Jon's explanation, Grindelwald had a strange expression on his face.
"What's far beyond the ordinary is not the universal spell-breaking, but the kind of spell-casting you mentioned. I can understand the wand-less spelling, but what does it mean to use the body as a wand? So did your attempt with Albus in another world succeed?
"
Jon touched his chin.
"It seems that it is partially successful, or it is a universal curse. My body seems to be immune to some magic now, and it can also absorb the magic contained in this part of the magic."
He raised the ring in his hand that was already embedded with precious stones.
"Now this ring has become a storage room for these magic powers. After all, there are still differences between magic powers. There is no way for me to make other people's magic powers compatible with my own."
