After class the next morning, Harry told the friends he considered reliable about the homework assigned to him by Dumbledore. Ryan listened to Harry in the common room with Hermione. Apart from the task,
, and Dumbledore’s previous attitude towards Harry hearing the conversation between Malfoy and Snape.
"Slughorn must be determined to conceal the truth of that year. If even Dumbledore can't get that memory now, it's unlikely that you can get these memories." Ryan was not optimistic about Harry.
During this operation, he spoke bluntly. "As for the Horcruxes, I must say that the mysterious man is indeed a powerful and extremely evil Dark Lord. He was actually able to consider this issue at that age and try to gain access to such dangerous knowledge.
"
"No matter how difficult it is, I have to-wait, you said you know what a Horcrux is?" Harry looked at Ryan in surprise.
"Yes." Ryan nodded slightly and continued. "As an alchemist, I do know about Horcruxes, a very partial and evil alchemical product. Since the principal has now let you know about the existence of Horcruxes, then
It means I can tell you something."
After clearing his throat, Ryan said seriously, "A Horcrux is an alchemical tool used to hold the split soul after splitting one's own soul by killing humans."
"It's really evil." Harry shook his head in disgust. "Then why did Voldemort make such an evil prop? Can it provide him with powerful magic power?"
"No, the function of a Horcrux is to provide the user with eternal life." Seeing Harry's mouth wide open in surprise, Ryan smiled: "Are you not interested in this thing? I understand that eternal life means something to everyone.
The attraction is—"
"Of course not." Harry interrupted Ryan's teasing and said firmly, "This is too evil."
"Not only that, the sequelae are also very serious." Ryan continued: "According to the existing data, users often slice out their own brains when slicing their souls. You see, the mysterious man completely loses his mind in the later stage.
The soul that was sliced out at the same time may form another person after reaching certain conditions. Due to the evil of the Horcrux, this new self and the original self cannot coexist harmoniously.
In the end, only one can survive.
"Then, what else do you know about Horcruxes?" Harry felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. He thought of the prophecy between himself and Voldemort. So he quickly urged Ryan to continue.
"Hide part of it in an object outside the body. In this way, even if the body of the Horcrux user is attacked or destroyed, he will not die because there is still a part of the soul that remains in the world and is not damaged. Of course, with this
This form of existence is worse than a ghost, and not many people are willing to live like that." Ryan said the last key point.
"So, the Voldemort we met in the first grade was in that state, right? The mist that flew out after Quirrell died." Harry recalled the Voldemort he met in the first grade.
"Yes." Ryan nodded, "Theoretically, one person can only make one Horcrux. But I can tell you that Dumbledore and I have destroyed far more Horcruxes than this number. I think Dumbledore
The task assigned to you by Professor Lido should be in the hope that you can find out how many Horcruxes the mysterious man has made."
"But how did I get that memory?" After listening to Ryan's explanation of the Horcrux, Harry seemed even more frustrated. He didn't think he could get Slughorn to tell such an important thing. But
He now also knows the danger of Horcruxes, and feels that even though Ryan is risking his life to fight on the front line, he, Voldemort's opponent in the prophecy, cannot do nothing.
"I don't know." Ryan shrugged, because he had eliminated Aragog a long time ago, so in the original text, at Aragog's funeral, Slughorn's true feelings were revealed after he got drunk.
It may have happened. But Ryan thought he still had something to tell Harry: "Now that you already know what a Horcrux is, you must also know that Professor Slughorn definitely wants to hide this matter in front of others, so you
Don’t ask him directly.”
"Of course." Harry smiled bitterly and nodded. "It seems that he is probably one of the culprits who caused Voldemort! How could he ask directly in this case?"
At this time, Harry also roughly guessed why Dumbledore was running around recently: he was probably looking for other Horcruxes. But he would never tell anyone about this.
In the following time, Harry said that Dumbledore thought that the conversation between Snape and Malfoy that Harry heard was not important. At the same time, the principal once again affirmed his trust in Snape. Ryan and Hermione
At that time, I could only comfort myself by saying that Principal Harry Dumbledore may have his own arrangements that need to be kept secret.
Ryan was a little confused about what Professor Dumbledore wanted to do, because he would not die this year, and he didn't understand why he would let Malfoy do things.
It was obvious that Hermione was also suspicious. After Harry left, she turned to Ryan and asked: "What do you think our principal is planning? I don't believe Dumbledore can't see that Malfoy is now doing something for a mysterious person."
Something, and this matter will also affect Hogwarts."
"Maybe our principal wants to set a trap for the mysterious person. You have to know that a conspiracy can only cause great harm when it is unknown. And now from what Harry said, our principal should know about it.
So you don't have to worry so much." Ryan comforted Hermione. Of course, he thought so too. But just in case, he still put a lot of holes in the disappearing cabinet that Malfoy had repaired in the past two days and in the entire Room of Requirement.
hands and feet.
Harry seemed to have told Ron and Ginny these things, but it seemed that Ron and the others couldn't come up with any good ideas, because Harry still seemed very distressed in the past two days and often pulled his hair helplessly. Ryan
There was even some worry that Harry would become bald before he reached middle age by doing this. You must know that even in the wizarding world, there is no cure for baldness. Otherwise, Slughorn, as a top potion master, would not let himself look like that.
Now that we have talked about Potions class, I have to say that in the new Potions class, Slughorn came up with new tricks. Unlike Snape who likes to let everyone brew potions step by step, Slughorn
Ghorn prefers to let everyone learn how to apply these magic potions in life. For example, in a new class, he gave each student in the classroom a bottle and asked everyone to make an antidote for the poison mixed in the bottle.
"According to Gobalot's third law, the antidote of a mixed poison is greater than the sum of the antidote of each individual component. There are more than a dozen poisons in a bottle of medicine. It seems that today's classroom task is a big project." In Ryan.
Hermione whispered beside her that she had always been a little uncomfortable with Harry simply copying books but getting a higher grade than her in Potions class, because she had always been disgusted with opportunistic practices. This time she felt that she finally had a chance to beat Harry.
.
"It's not that complicated." Ryan reminded. "A piece of feces stone is enough. The poison here is not that powerful."
"Shut up." Hermione turned her head and stared at Ryan, "What's the difference between me and Harry if I do this?"
Ryan shrugged helplessly. Hermione is stubborn in some aspects. She will stick to her heart and be flexible in important matters. But in daily life, she is still a bit rigid as in the past. But Hermione Ryan is not like this.
Hate it, because sticking to principles isn't a bad thing.
"Then I can only wish you good luck." After Ryan said that, he started to do his own thing. Of course, he would not use bezoar, a method with little technical content. As an alchemist, he had a better way.
