In the memory that Harry received today, it can be seen that the 16-year-old Voldemort was blinded by power. So even though Slughorn had emphasized the danger of Horcruxes, he still asked further: "
How to split the soul?"
Ryan felt that Voldemort at this time already roughly knew part of the knowledge on how to make Horcruxes. He was just trying to elicit Slughorn's next answer. However, Slughorn did not know about this at this time.
He said to Voldemort uneasily, "You must understand that the soul should remain intact. Splitting it is a violation and unnatural."
Voldemort did not back down, he pressed further. "But how to split it?"
"Through evil deeds - the most evil deeds, through murder. Murder can cause the soul to be split, and wizards who want to create Horcruxes use this destruction: to seal the fragments of the split soul -" Slughorn said
Yes, he is worthy of being a wizard with an ancient family heritage. He can also speak fluently about this kind of unpopular knowledge.
"Sealed? But how -?" Voldemort asked for more knowledge. But this time, Slughorn did not answer directly. He shook his head uneasily, "There is a spell, don't ask me, I don't know! Do I
Do I look tried—do I look like a murderer?”
"No, sir, of course not," Riddle said hurriedly, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to offend..." In Ryan's eyes, this was a kind of test, to figure out Slugholt for the most critical issue in the next step.
Where is the bottom line?
Slughorn was appeased by his apology. Out of habitual care for outstanding students, it was also a kind of self-suggestion for himself. He said in a rough voice. "No, no, no offense. To these
It's normal to be a little curious about things... Talented wizards are always attracted to the magical side..."
"Yes, sir," Riddle said. At this time, he felt that Slughorn might have become wary, so he suddenly asked the key question. "But what I don't understand is - just
Out of curiosity, what I want to ask is, is a Horcrux useful? Can the soul only be divided once? Is it better to divide into more pieces to make you stronger? For example, isn't seven the most magical number?
?Seven-?”
"My God, Tom!" cried Slughorn, "seven! Isn't it evil enough to want to kill one man? Anyway... splitting a soul into seven pieces is evil enough..."
Slughorn became completely uneasy. He glared at Riddle. Lane felt that he must be very regretful now, which could be heard from the words behind him. Slughorn said in a low voice, "Of course, we talked about it.
These are all assumptions, aren't they? Just academic..."
The young Voldemort had obtained what he wanted at this time, but he did not want others to know what he did today. So he comforted him: "Yes, sir, of course."
Next, Slug told Voldemort not to leak out tonight's conversation. At this time, he had realized something was wrong. And this goal coincided with Voldemort's goal. This can also explain why others don't know this memory.
the reason.
After watching young Voldemort leave the office while promising that he would not leak this matter, Dumbledore motioned for everyone to leave.
"I want to thank you for putting together the most important piece of this puzzle." After coming out, Dumbledore said to Ryan and the others immediately. "It confirmed my speculation and proved what I had done before.
Everything is correct, the dawn of victory is just ahead..."
Perhaps because Professor Dumbledore was too excited, his voice was much louder than usual. The old principals in the portraits on the wall were all woken up and began to eavesdrop on their conversation. A fat wizard with a red nose also took out
They have hearing aids. As portraits, their daily lives are very boring. Naturally, they will not let go of this opportunity to hear new stories.
"You have known before that Voldemort made Horcruxes in an attempt to escape death." Dumbledore said, "And what we saw today is the beginning of his creation of Horcruxes. Shortly after this inquiry, Voldemort made his first Horcrux.
As a result, a young witch lost her life. At the same time, Hagrid was expelled from school as his scapegoat."
"So you just killed someone so casually, your own classmate?" Harry opened his mouth in surprise.
"Harry, you are a kind boy. But Voldemort is different." Dumbledore, who was sitting behind the desk, shook his head. "Although I tried my best to lead him to the right path, you also saw the result.
, I failed, my education created a Dark Lord."
"This is not your fault." Ryan said, "Education is a matter for both parties. It is very inappropriate to simply blame either the educator or the educated after the failure of education. What the mysterious man did back then I
I think any normal person would be wary of him."
"As people get older, sometimes they always think about the past, but these things have passed away." Dumbledore waved his hand. "By the way, where did we just talk about? Oh, we just talked about Voldemort's future.
He began the process of making Horcruxes. This is why he did not die after the first attack on Harry failed."
"So his Horcrux is hidden somewhere, and a small piece of his soul is hidden inside and will always be safe?" Harry asked.
"More than a small piece, I think you may have felt this before." Dumbledore said, "You also heard it just now. What he especially wanted to know from Slughorn was that if a wizard creates multiple souls,
What would happen to the weapon, but he didn’t get the answer in the end, because no one before him would cut his soul so many times.”
Dumbledore paused for a moment, then glanced at Ryan and said, "Four years ago, I learned that Voldemort had created his own Horcrux. At that time, Ryan accidentally obtained a strange notebook and gave it to me. I learned from it
I found a piece of his soul. Although that piece of soul is very weak, I am sure that it is a piece of Voldemort's soul. I am even sure that this is the first piece of his soul that split off."
"Ryan?" Harry and Hermione opened their eyes wide at the same time. They didn't know about this before.
"Yes, I can only say that I was very lucky at that time. Because this Horcrux is not only a tool to preserve the soul, but also a weapon. In theory, it can release Slytherin monsters. Fortunately, I got this one
After the incident, Ryan’s vigilance allowed us to resolve the crisis once and for all.”
"That's just because I had just entered the magical world, so I was wary of everything." Ryan said humbly, "I think the mysterious man was still young at this time, so he made such a Horcrux because he wanted to
Prove that you are indeed a descendant of Slytherin."
"This analysis is very reasonable." Dumbledore nodded slightly. "The purpose of a Horcrux is to safely seal part of one's soul. It would be very stupid to expose it as a weapon, so I successfully eliminated this part.
soul."
After finishing speaking, Dumbledore took out a glass bottle, which was filled with ashes. If you look carefully, you can find that these ashes should have been a book or notebook. "But such a Horcrux makes me feel very ominous. This means
It's possible he's already made - or planned to make - more Horcruxes, so losing one wouldn't be that dangerous. I don't want to believe it, but no other explanation seems to make sense."
"The worst news was confirmed the year the Triwizard Tournament was held. After researching some things, I obtained another Horcrux of Voldemort from the last residence of the Gaunt family." Dumbledore said in a deep voice.
Said, "He has always believed that he has gone further than anyone else on the road to immortality. I think this is where his confidence lies."
