Witcher at Hogwarts

"Through evil deeds - the most evil deeds, through murder, killing can cause the soul to be split, and wizards who want to create Horcruxes use this destruction: to seal the split soul fragments - one by one."

Slughorn looked so distraught that he didn't even dare to look Voldemort in the eyes.

"Sealed? But how?" Voldemort continued to ask.

"There's a spell, don't ask me, I don't know it!" Slughorn shook his head like an old elephant bitten by mosquitoes. "Do I look like I've tried it - do I look like a murderer? "

Slughorn finally felt something was wrong, and he tried hard to end the topic as soon as possible.

"No, sir, of course not," Voldemort said quickly, "I'm sorry - I didn't mean to offend -"

Obviously, Voldemort also realized his gaffe just now, and began to work hard to remedy it.

"No offense, no offense," Slughorn said gruffly, "It's normal to be a little curious about these things - talented wizards are always attracted to that side of magic -"

After Voldemort's apology, Slughorn's mood seemed to be more stable.

"Yes, sir," Voldemort said, "but what I don't understand is that - just out of curiosity, what I want to ask is, is a Horcrux useful? Can the soul only be divided once? Is it okay to divide it into more pieces? Better, makes you stronger? For example, isn’t seven the most magical number—seven?”

"Oh my God, Tom!" cried Slughorn, staring at the young Voldemort with disbelief, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

"Seven! Isn't it evil enough to want to kill one person? Splitting the soul is evil enough anyway, but splitting it into seven pieces-one" Slughorn's face turned pale.

You could tell he regretted taking part in this conversation.

"Of course" Slughorn whispered, "These are all hypotheticals we're talking about, aren't we? Just academic -" Slughorn was trying to find comfort in himself.

"Yes, sir, of course." Riddle said lightly with a smile on his face.

"But, Tom, it's better not to say anything about what we're discussing. People won't be happy if they know we've talked about Horcruxes. This is forbidden at Hogwarts, and you know Dumbledore is particularly fierce -"

As he said this, Slughorn also tugged on his collar with his hand.

"I won't tell, sir." Riddle said and left.

From Ethan's perspective, Ethan happened to observe the expression on Voldemort's face.

It was full of ecstasy, and the handsome face of young Voldemort looked a little twisted and ferocious.

The scene in the memory fluctuated again, and soon Dumbledore and Ethan returned to the principal's office.

Dumbledore stared at the flashing pensieve in a trance, seeming to be thinking about something.

Finally, Dumbledore spoke.

"I have been waiting for this evidence for a long time," Dumbledore finally said. "It confirms my speculation, proves that I am right, and tells me that there is still a long road ahead."

"Voldemort - I thought he split many souls, but I didn't expect seven souls." Dumbledore pinched his knuckles.

He was obviously shocked by the news as well.

"Now we have destroyed most of the Horcruxes, Voldemort's diary, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's golden cup, and Ravenclaw's diadem. We have destroyed four Horcruxes one by one."

"The remaining Horcruxes are not very easy to obtain," Ethan said.

"Especially Harry." Ethan stared at Dumbledore's face and said, "How do you want to solve Harry's problem? The Horcruxes you know must be destroyed."

This is something that cannot be avoided. Harry is indeed Voldemort's Horcrux who inadvertently became Voldemort.

If you want to completely defeat Voldemort, you must erase Harry's Horcruxes or erase Harry one by one.

"Believe me Ethan, I will definitely find the most suitable way, and I will try my best to protect Harry." Dumbledore said to Ethan sincerely.

"Are you still going to hide this news? This is so unfair to the members of the Order of the Phoenix who have been following you." Ethan said.

"I'm sorry Ethan, this news involves too many things. Now the Death Eaters are making trouble outside. This news may cause the Order of the Phoenix to fall apart internally. We can't do it one by one," Dumbledore said sincerely.

Looking at Dumbledore's face, Ethan felt a little cold.

Dumbledore was an absolutely upright man, and he would be willing to sacrifice anyone, including himself, to destroy Voldemort.

And this kind of person is actually the most terrifying.

Ethan did not reply to Dumbledore's words, and the office fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Dumbledore was the first to speak, "Anyway, our first task is to eliminate the remaining Horcruxes, another of Voldemort's Horcruxes. I think I already have a clue."

"Clue?" Ethan looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

"You know, I have been trying to find out more about Voldemort's past life for many years. I have traveled to many places to look for traces of him."

"You also saw that in Slughorn's memory, Voldemort was wearing a ring. That ring was a family heirloom of Voldemort's. I think it was another of Voldemort's Horcruxes," said Dumble Lido said.

"Now, I have a clue. Voldemort hid the ring in his family's old house, the Gaunt family's old house. Although he used a lot of magic to protect the ring, I still found it."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore finally showed a hint of excitement.

"Ethan, I have to destroy that ring, and I need your help." Dumbledore looked into Ethan's eyes and said.

"When?" Ethan asked Dumbledore.

"Now, now." Dumbledore said firmly, "The faster we act, the more certain we are that we will be able to completely eliminate Voldemort."

"Okay, I will help you." Ethan replied honestly.

Ethan knew that if Dumbledore was left alone to find the ring this time, Dumbledore would fall for Voldemort's tricks just like before.

As the curse gradually weakened and finally died, Ethan didn't want anything to happen to Dumbledore at this most critical time.

"Then, I think we can take action." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Time is a precious thing to me, old man. We'd better not waste it."

Seeing this, Ethan had no choice but to hold Dumbledore's arm again, and then Dumbledore used Disapparation to take Ethan and leave Hogwarts in an instant.

The next moment, Ethan and Dumbledore were standing on a country road, with tall shrubs and tangled leaves on both sides.

It's night now, and summer cicadas are chirping in the bushes, making this summer night look particularly quiet.
