Hogwarts Shippuden

Chapter 438: 7, is a magic number

Kyle looked around and saw six or seven boys sitting around Slughorn, all fifteen or sixteen.

This should be the little group Slughorn started up called the Slug Club.

Kyle recognized Tom Riddle among the boys at a glance, mainly from the resurrection stone ring he wore on his hand.

His temperament is the most outstanding of all boys.

I can't tell that the noseless monster was pretty handsome when he didn't graduate from Hogwarts.

If it is placed in the entertainment circle of later generations, it will definitely be top-notch.

I don't know how he did it later, blinding such a handsome face in vain.

Kyle maliciously speculated that Voldemort's later strength was not exchanged for his appearance, right?

Several people chatted and chatted, and time slipped away unknowingly.

The little golden bell on the desk rang.

Slughorn found out that it was time for curfew and sent the students back to their lounges

The boys filed out, and Tom Riddle was deliberately trailing a few steps behind, so it was obvious that he was looking for a chance to talk to Slughorn alone.

"Sir, I want to ask if you know... Horcrux."

Slughorn glared at him, fat fingers caressing the cup in his hand absently.

"The subject of Defense Against the Dark Arts, isn't it?"

"No, sir, I don't understand what I read in the book."

"Well...yeah...it's hard to find a book detailing Horcruxes at Hogwarts, Tom. It's very evil, very evil," said Slughorn.

As a young Tom Riddle, it was clear that he knew very well what the art of language was.

He first made a compliment to Horace just right.

The hesitant, casual tone, the subtle compliment, was not overdone at all.

As far as Xiaofu's flattering skills are concerned, if he travels to the ancient celestial dynasty, if he encounters a faint-hearted monarch who likes to listen to his courtiers' praise, it will be quite easy to get a slaughter.

Induced by Tom Riddle, Slughorn stepped into his carefully woven trap step by step.

He began to introduce Tom to Horcruxes.

"A Horcrux is... you split your soul," Slughorn said slowly, "and hide that part in something outside your body..."

Riddle's expression gradually became greedy, and he couldn't hide his desire.

Slughorn sensed his strange expression and was a little uneasy.

"You have to understand that the soul should remain intact and to split it is an act against nature."

Tom didn't pay attention to Horace's warning. In his opinion, life was more important than anything else.

Even after being stripped of the flesh, it is worse than a ghost, worse than the humblest wandering soul...

But, at least, he's still alive.

"But...Professor, how to split the soul?"

"To split souls to create Horcruxes, one must commit heinous crimes - murder is the most evil of all."

What Horace didn't say is that murder is not enough to make a Horcrux.

Before splitting the soul, the horcrux maker had to perform a brutal torture on the murdered victim.

The means of torture had to be extremely cruel, otherwise Horcrux wouldn't be called the most evil of black magic.

"After splitting the soul through murder, use a spell to seal up your soul."

Horace didn't say what the spell was, but even so, Kyle knew what it was.

He has also read the black magic book "The Secret of Cutting-edge Black Magic".

This book was originally placed in the forbidden area of ​​the library. It was Dumbledore who noticed that Tom had read the book and made a Horcrux, so he transferred it to his office.

Tom Riddle, feigning ignorance, asked Horace what the spell was.

Then, he asked one of the questions he was most concerned about—

"Sir, what I want to ask is, is a Horcrux useful? Can a soul only be split once? Is it better to have more pieces and make you stronger?"

"For example, isn't seven the most magical number, seven—?"

Hearing this, Kyle can already guess how many Horcruxes Voldemort has made.

"My God, Tom!" cried Slughorn in some panic. "Seven! Isn't it evil enough to want to kill one?"

The only question now is whether the "seven" mentioned by Voldemort in his conversation with Slughorn is a total of seven Horcruxes in addition to the main soul of the main body, or whether it is counted with the main body. There are seven souls?

They have now collected five Horcruxes in their hands:

Diary, Resurrection Stone Ring, and Relics of the Big Three.

Among them, the Avo diary in his youth and the resurrection stone ring of the Gaunt family, these two Horcruxes have been destroyed.

Ravenclaw's crown, Hufflepuff's gold cup, and Slytherin's locket, these three relics belonging to the Big Three all fell into Dumbledore's hands.

However, these three relics belonging to the Big Three are all rare treasures.

Neither Kyle nor Dumbledore were willing to destroy Voldemort's soul in the simplest and crudest way.

Therefore, their destruction progress is slightly slower.

It has been more than a year since Kyle found the two Horcruxes, the crown and the golden cup, and Dumbledore has only disposed of them.

As for the Slytherin locket that was later found in Black's old house, it is still lying quietly in the drawer of Dumbledore's desk.

In addition to the five Horcruxes mentioned above, they also knew a special living Horcrux, which was Harry.

If Voldemort's "seven" meant seven Horcruxes, there would be two more Horcruxes left out.

And if it is another case, then there is only one Horcrux left.

Of course, there may be one more thing to consider-

That is, does Voldemort himself know about the existence of this special living Horcrux?

Harry becoming one of Voldemort's Horcruxes was a complete accident.

The kind that even Voldemort himself may not have realized.

If Voldemort didn't know about this, he would have to make another Horcrux, which would increase the number of Horcruxes they had to search for.

Kyle suddenly felt that things were quite a headache.

Therefore, they should revive Voldemort as soon as possible~www.NovelMTL.com~ At that time, don't care what Horcruxes are not Horcruxes, they just need to catch Voldemort's body and cut it.

He didn't believe that Voldemort's soul could be divided infinitely.

As long as the piece of soul in his body is destroyed, it means that the number of Voldemort's Horcruxes has been reduced by one more.

With the strength of their family of three, Kyle didn't believe that Voldemort could still jump in front of them.

Even if Merlin came, he wouldn't be able to keep Voldemort, he said!

After patiently watching the entire memory Grindelwald got from Horace, Kyle pulled his head out of the Pensieve.

"Looks like there will be no way to kill Voldemort for a while," he muttered to himself.

The only question now is, how do I get Voldemort to have the courage to come out and confront them, instead of being an old man and wreaking havoc in the wizarding world?
