HP calls me Queen

Lupine and Blake visit Delphine on the third day of summer vacation.

Black inherited part of the assets of the Black family. Although the amount is not as large as that of Daphne, who is not named Black, it is still a huge sum of money. In addition, he actually got a lot of money when he left the Black family. , together they are definitely one of the few kings and fives in the magic world today.In contrast, the more than 100 million Galleons that the Ministry of Magic compensated was a small figure.

At this time, Black has cleared his suspicions and successfully inherited the property and old house assigned to him by the Black family.Although Kreacher disliked him very much, he also took on the job of serving him.But according to Jingjing, Kreacher complained a lot.

With Black as a rich man, Lupine naturally didn't have to wear old patched clothes.Therefore, when the two came to Lestrange Manor, they were all well-dressed.

After purification, Lupine's face was no longer pale and sickly, and Black gradually recovered some of his former look after a few days of recuperation.

Invite the two to sit down in the living room and let the elf serve refreshments.Delphine spoke first, but what they said was not about the potion factory as they thought.

"As far as I know, both of you are members of the Order of the Phoenix, right?" Delphine stunned them as soon as she spoke.

Of course, both of them are members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they are also direct descendants.But since Voldemort disappeared 12 years ago, the Order of the Phoenix has ceased its activities.After all, the purpose of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​to fight against Voldemort, and they will naturally be inactive when Voldemort is gone.

This identity is not a secret, and many people know it.Both of them nodded without hiding.

"Although Voldemort was severely injured 12 years ago, he did not die. You should know about this, right?" Delphine asked again.

This time Lupine nodded, but Black shook his head in surprise.During the time he came out of Azkaban, he was mostly fleeing and wandering.No sources.That is to say, it has only become a little more stable in the past few days, but neither Harry and the others nor Lupine have had time to tell him something.

"Voldemort is not dead, he must have survived by a special method." Seeing the confusion on Black's face, Lupine explained to him: "I heard from Professor McGonagall that in the first grade he once Possessing a professor in an attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and it was Harry who stopped him."

"Is there such a thing?" Blake's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

"I was there at the time!" Delphine nodded. "Voldemort's current state is very special. He has no entity, but he doesn't look like a ghost either. It's an inexplicable state."

"So, he is not dead. And he may come back at any time, does that mean?" Black frowned slightly.This is obviously not good news for him.He had experienced the period of Voldemort's dark reign. He originally thought that Voldemort had died, but he didn't expect to hear that this guy was still alive.The joy of inheriting wealth and becoming a rich man suddenly disappeared.

"Not at any time, but I'm afraid there is a possibility. You read this." Delphine handed over a newspaper, which was the latest Daily Prophet this morning.The biggest piece of news on the cover is——Peter Pettigrew, who escaped while being escorted to Azkaban Prison.

"Peter escaped?" Blackhorn stood up, his eyes burning.

Delphine nodded. When she saw the newspaper this morning, she was relieved.Peter escaped, and the following big plot should not be affected too much, and it can proceed smoothly.If Peter didn't run away, he didn't know what would happen!

But in the end, everything went smoothly as expected.At the Screaming Shed that day, Daphne mentioned Peter's Animagus transformation skills.Peter couldn't use an Animagus without a wand before, but apparently, he did.Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape under the guard of several wizards and dementors.

"Damn rat..." Black even made a gesture to leave, as if he wanted to get Peter back.

Delphine secretly complained that this guy has no brains, where are you going to find it?Fortunately, Lupine was calm enough to hold Blake back on the seat, and turned to Delphine: "Delphine, it's not just because Peter ran away that you told us about this."

"Of course," Delphine nodded, "During the second grade, Harry and I once saw a notebook..." Delphine briefly but completely explained the second-grade basilisk attack and the chamber of secrets, including Luo Professor Hart's little trick is also said.

"Professor Dumbledore, it seems that he is very optimistic about Potter." Lupine smiled wryly. He probably knew about this before, but he was not so clear.

"Of course, Harry is a very good boy." Black didn't understand the meaning of Lupine's words, but he was also faintly proud that Harry was valued by Dumbledore.

Delphine didn't mean to explain too much, but continued: "What I want to talk about is that notebook. It is a strange phenomenon that the notebook can carry memories. And at that time, the notebook was almost indestructible. We used a lot of magic to hurt everyone. No, it was finally broken with a Gryffindor sword infested with basilisk venom."

"In this way, it is true. Although memories can be retrieved, I have never heard that memories can have self-awareness." Lupine frowned slightly, rubbing his chin and said.He is a master of defense against the black arts, so he is naturally unfamiliar with black arts. He seemed to have thought of something, and his face sank slightly.

"What you're talking about looks like a Horcrux." Blake suddenly opened his mouth when he heard the exchange between the two.

This was indeed beyond Delphine's expectations, Blake also knew about Horcruxes.But think about it, Black is the oldest family in the British wizarding world, and it is said that the ancestors are very obsessed with black magic - Black itself means black.Knowing about Horcruxes, it's not surprising.

"Horcrux?" Delphine pretended to be stupid when she heard the words, pretending not to be familiar with it: "You said it like this, I wish I had seen similar books in the academy's restricted area, um... I can't remember at the moment gone."

"Haha, a Slytherin actually ran into the restricted area, did the Sorting Hat assign you to the wrong house?" Black laughed heartlessly.Lupine couldn't help smiling too.Indeed, Slytherins are relatively well-behaved houses, and such things as drilling into the restricted area have always been done by Gryffindor daredevils in the past.But Lupine knew that this well-behaved little girl loved wandering around the castle at night.

Delphine secretly slandered that my mother wanted to go to Ravenclaw at that time.That idiot in the Sorting Hat didn't give himself a chance to speak.

But it is obviously meaningless to say this now.Delphine laughed and said, "Which one of you tell me what is going on with Horcruxes, so I can save myself reading the book."

"It's nothing special, it's a kind of evil ancient magic." Black is worthy of being the heir of the old black magic family, talking about the indifferent look on the Horcrux's face: "The scream of the dead soul is a special soul phenomenon. When When killing a living person who does not want to die, the dead soul of that person will emit a special power called the scream of the dead soul. This scream is only effective for the person who killed him. The screamed soul There will be a slight looseness. At this time, if you master a special method, you can peel off part of the soul and store it on an object. The object to which the soul is applied will become a false Horcrux."

"False Horcruxes? Then there are real Horcruxes?" Daphne had never heard of this statement, so she couldn't help asking curiously.

"You're right," Black nodded. "At this time, the soul is only temporarily stored in the object. After a little longer, the soul will dissipate. If you want to become a real Horcrux, you need to use evil magic at this time. Transform the living soul of the person he killed into special magical power to strengthen the Horcrux. To ensure that the stripped soul fragments can be preserved forever, and the object storing the soul cannot be destroyed. Then this item that stores the soul fragments , is the Horcrux. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the caster will not die completely. This magic is so evil that it not only kills, but also confines and destroys the soul of the opponent. It is more vicious than ordinary necromantic magic. "

Although he said it was vicious, Blake had a look of disapproval.Obviously, this level of evil magic, he has seen more than this one.This one isn't even one of the best.

Although Blake has thick nerves, he is by no means stupid.Speaking of this, she roughly understood what Delphine meant: "You mean, Voldemort made Horcruxes? Then he is quite stupid." Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing.

Lupine also knew about Horcruxes, but not as clearly as Black.It was even more strange to see him laughing: "Siris, what are you laughing at? The Horcrux will not die unless it is destroyed. Isn't this very troublesome?"

"It is indeed troublesome, but this is really a stupid behavior." Black restrained his smile, and said sarcastically: "Horcruxes can guarantee the master's immortality, but they are not so useful. It is just to ensure that the soul will not die when the body dies." Completely dissipate or become a ghost. It’s not possible to be resurrected immediately! That kind of soul state can do very little, even possessing a body. And there are many sequelae of splitting the soul. It’s okay if it’s split once. , Hehe, maybe I will go crazy first."

Black's knowledge of Horcruxes was somewhat beyond Delphine's expectations.Imagining that Delphine realized something, she felt a little pity.In the original plot, Dumbledore started to deal with Horcruxes in the sixth year, when Black had accidentally died in battle.If Black was alive, with him helping the White Wizard, he might not lose a hand because of dealing with a Horcrux and have only one year of life left.

"Then, how many Horcruxes do you think Voldemort will have?" Lupine was not as optimistic as Black. He was still struggling with the fact that Voldemort would be difficult to kill if he had Horcruxes.

"It's more than one anyway." Daphne said flatly, then opened her small bag and took out a huge safe from it.Yes, take out the big safe from the Xiaokun bag.Open the safe, there is still a safe inside.It took three floors in a row to reveal the innermost thing, a small golden cup—Hufflepuff's golden cup.

"This is..." As a former professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, Lupine was very keen on dark arts.As soon as I saw the golden cup, I felt the extraordinary magic fluctuations on it.

"I found it in my mother's vault. I thought something was wrong, so I put it away. The feeling of this thing is very similar to that diary back then!" Daphne said calmly.

"It should be a Horcrux without a doubt!" Lupine checked and frowned.In fact, he had never seen a Horcrux before, but the thing in front of him matched all the characteristics of a Horcrux he knew.In addition to this storage location, Delphine's old mother is Voldemort's number one supporter!
"Is this a Horcrux? This feeling is a little familiar." Black thought.
