Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Dumbledore clasped his hands on the desk.

He didn't appear surprised when he heard Sherlock's words, but was thinking, as if hesitating.

Sherlock didn't bother him, he knew there were many secrets in the old man's mind.

Every time he was thinking, it meant that what he said next would involve an extremely secret matter.

A moment later, Dumbledore's eyes returned to Sherlock.

"I didn't expect it, just going through this, you'll find so much, Sherlock."

he said seriously.

"Regarding Riddle, this matter can be said to be something he has pursued all his life. If I tell you, then you will have no turning back. He will do everything possible to kill everyone who knows it."

Sherlock naturally knew that the real Tom Riddle, Voldemort, was not dead.

The reason he asked about Dumbledore's diary was very simple.

The diary contains Voldemort's remnant soul, and Sherlock needs this fragmented soul for soul stitching.

When he woke up in the school hospital, he had discovered that the split of his soul seemed to be too large. The dotted line formed by the remnant soul in the diary was only sewed about one-fifth to one-sixth. degree.

But it was just such a combination of souls that Sherlock could clearly realize that the strength of all the spells and transformation spells he used had increased significantly.

It's like eating a big tonic pill.

The most important thing is that in the lounge, he finally seemed to be stronger than ever, and the feeling that he could kill the basilisk with a single thought seemed to remain.

He seems to have learned a kind of magic without a teacher.

A kind of magic that doesn't need to swing a stick or chanting a spell, just move a thought, and you can directly interfere with reality.

It's just that the strength of this magic is far from the invincible state it was when the soul was stitched together.

But still great.

In the process of stitching the soul, Sherlock also found that his soul did not seem to be torn.

The real stitched together is not the torn soul, but the original two complete souls!

One of them is the soul of Charlotte who has passed through and has a dominant consciousness.

The other is the soul of the original owner who has completely lost his mind.

Originally, when Sherlock passed through, the soul of the original owner was already dead and was gradually disappearing.

But the magic of soul stitching is equivalent to forcibly merging the original owner's soul with Sherlock, so that each fusion of Sherlock's soul will increase by one point. !

The magic of the Harry Potter world, the existence-inherited in the blood of the ancestors, the power-from the soul of the wizard.

The more powerful the soul, the more powerful the spell used.

So Sherlock was actually thinking about Voldemort's remnant.

He felt that there must be more than one such thing as a diary, and the things necessary for his soul to be stitched together, it seems that only Voldemort has it.

This also made Sherlock, who originally planned to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for a year, if he was lucky enough to survive without missing his arms or legs, he would resign and change his plans. .

It's safe outside, but there must be less contact with Voldemort.

Staying in Hogwarts all the time, with Dumbledore and Harry Potter, the two leading activists against Voldemort, he could also follow behind for a drink of soup.

So, facing Dumbledore's words, Sherlock had nothing to hesitate, he waved his hand and said.

"Professor, do you think he can let me go when I have destroyed a remnant of his soul?"

Dumbledore was also dumbfounded.

Sherlock was right, no matter whether he knew about the Horcrux in the future, he had destroyed one now, and if Voldemort knew about it, he would definitely not let him go.

Informed threats seem less important.

"What Riddle wanted most in his life was immortality," Dumbledore said softly.

"It feels low." Sherlock said with a shrug.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Compared to other great ideals, Tom's quest for immortality is a little less appreciative. But he finally has a goal to fight for."

"When he was at Hogwarts, he was given a method of immortality - a Horcrux."

Sherlock was stunned for a moment and repeated it in his mouth.

"Horcuri..."

He was obviously familiar with this term. He had seen it in the forbidden area of ​​the library, and the book "Analysis of High-End Black Magic" described such an extremely evil magic.

"Yes, Horcrux." Dumbledore continued, "This is a method that can split the wizard's soul and host it on different items. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the one who creates the Horcrux from his own soul will do so. A wizard, a magic that never dies."

"Voldemort, he mastered that magic."

Sherlock asked with a wink.

"Can you make many Horcruxes?"

"Theoretically infinite splits are possible."

"How many Horcruxes did Voldemort make for himself?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

"This is also what I want to know. If you want to kill Voldemort, you must not only defeat him, but also destroy all his Horcruxes. After I learned this, I have been searching for the Horcruxes. At present, Look, I haven't found anything yet. The diary you destroyed is the only Horcrux known now."

He turned to look at the portraits of past Headmasters on the wall, white light reflecting off his crescent-shaped glasses, Dumbledore said softly.

"But we still have time for Sherlock. By studying Riddle's past, we will always find out what he has made into Horcruxes and how many Horcruxes he has made."

After chatting with Dumbledore, Sherlock left Dumbledore's office.

Next, the headmaster will receive many guests, Neville's grandmother, Harry, Ron, and Lucius Malfoy.

He didn't blame Neville. Riddle's rhetoric had deceived many adult wizards. It was very brave for a child like Neville to struggle out of his control.

Harry also learned about the diary in the office, which Lucius deliberately planned to throw into Hogwarts.

Dobby, his house-elf, knows all this, so he keeps preventing Harry from returning to Hogwarts.

When Lucius left, Harry also set a small trap, so that Lucius inadvertently gave Dobby a sock, which was equivalent to returning the freedom of the house elf and freeing Dobby from the Malfoys. come out.

There was a gala dinner at Hogwarts tonight, and the students were so happy, as were the professors.

Flitwick and Professor McGonagall frequently came to toast Sherlock, and even Snape, who had always had a cold face, found Sherlock by clinking glasses and asked him about the transfiguration that killed the basilisk.

Dumbledore did not reveal who the descendant of Slytherin was, nor did he say that Neville was under control and opened the secret room to release the basilisk.

But the secret room was opened, and the monster inside was a basilisk, and it was finally killed by Sherlock and Harry. He did not hide it from the outside world.

Even a reporter from the Daily Prophet even took a photo of Sherlock, Harry, Ron, and Neville for the headlines the next day.

None of Sherlock took the credit for defeating the basilisk, and Harry and the three of them were helping him in solving the mystery of the secret room and in the lounge for all to see.

The basilisk's body was also bought by Snape at his own expense, along with the snakeskin found in the back room.

He gave five thousand gold Galleons, which was split equally between Sherlock and Harry.

After Ron got the money, he consciously handed over most of the money to the family, and then used the remaining money to get himself a new wand and new clothes.

Harry didn't take the money alone, or with his wealth, more than a thousand Galleons was not a lot of money for him, and he shared the money with the awakened Hermione. Split in half.

Had it not been for the information left by Hermione, he would not have been able to find the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets in the end.

Not only did Neville not get punished this time, but he also got an unexpected fortune that kept him entertained all day long.

His grandmother was very proud of Neville after hearing that he had received Gryffindor's approval and that he had drawn Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat.

And the reason why he could get five thousand Galleons was the result of Sherlock and Snape's bargaining.

Basilisks, especially in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, the value of this basilisk that has lived for thousands of years is actually immeasurable.

That old stingy Snape actually only offered a thousand Galleons at the beginning.

He insisted that the snake skin of the basilisk was smashed by Sherlock, and most of the internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and the medicinal value was not very high.

If Harry and the others were embarrassed to speak because of Snape's majesty and his status as a professor, maybe the price was set like this~www.NovelMTL.com~ But Sherlock wouldn't suffer from such a loss, he and Snape quarreled for a long time, and the old bat was exhausted, and finally raised the price to 5,000 Galleons.

Even if it was five thousand Galleons, Sherlock felt that he was missing.

If it is really sold outside, the value of the Millennium Basilisk is estimated to be even higher.

But in the end, this basilisk is just a windfall. It can be sold for 5,000 Galleons, and it is not bad to make a small fortune.

This time, his biggest gain came from Voldemort's gift, his remnant soul.

Hagrid was also released by the Ministry of Magic after the Chamber of Secrets was over.

He had not been happy for a long time when he returned to Hogwarts, when he received some very unfortunate news from the centaurs.

On the night he was captured, a fire broke out in the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest. His spider friend Aragog and its clan, all the eight-eyed giant spiders, were all destroyed by this fire!
