Hogwarts wizard

After obtaining Slughorn's memory, they went to Dumbledore's office and put the memory into the Pensieve.

In the same scene, the others left, but Tom Riddle stayed in Professor Slughorn's office.

"A few nights ago, in the restricted book section of the library, I found a book written about a rare magic. That magic seems to be called... a Horcrux."

Seeing this, Jellal was stunned for a moment. He had heard about Horcruxes from Hajes Crowley. Although he didn't know much about them, he had definitely heard about them.

Slughorn was a little shocked when he heard Tom's words, "What did you say?"

"Horcrux, I accidentally read this word, but I... didn't fully understand it."

The difference between Jellal and Tom is that Jellal is not interested in black magic from the bottom of his heart, but Tom seems to be very interested.

Slughorn said, he didn't know what Tom was thinking at this time, he could only tell him his own thoughts.

"I don't know what it is, but I know it's very, very evil black magic."

At this time, Tom said to Slughorn seriously, "That's why I came to find you."

"An ordinary thing becomes a Horcrux when you hide your soul inside it." Slughorn didn't know what happened to him, so he answered Tom's words by mistake.

"But I want to know how to hide it." Tom slowly approached him and asked.

Slughorn gestured with his hand, "Split your soul and hide it in something. Even if your body is destroyed, your soul will still be protected."

"Protect?" Tom didn't seem to understand what Slughorn meant.

"The soul you hide will continue to live. In other words, you will not die..."

Slughorn had a feeling that Tom already knew.

"Professor, how do souls split?"

"Didn't you already know?"

"kill……"

Tom said calmly, he indeed already knew.

"Yes, killing someone will split your soul, because he is not in line with the laws of nature and will be rejected by God..."

Hearing this, Tom felt like he had opened the door to a new world, and he needed to explore this issue deeper.

"Can it only be divided once? Can it be divided seven times?"

"Seven times?" Slughorn was completely frightened by Tom's words, "Then you have to kill seven people. If you kill one person and split it once, it is evil enough. You actually want to split the soul seven times?" Second-rate!"

He began to doubt what Tom said. He didn't want to believe that Tom was such a person. "You are just a theoretical hypothesis, right? Tom..."

Tom smiled at him and said, "Of course!" But there was always something inexplicable in his smile.

"Don't tell, Professor."

Jellal understood that Slughorn's position at that time was as if he was threatened.

"Dean Dumbledore..." Harry started to say something, but Dumbledore waved his hand. He needs to take a rest now. This is terrible...

He sat on the steps, while Gerald and Harry kept looking at him. They didn't know that Dumbledore was deeply shocked at this time.

"This is much earlier than I thought..." Dumbledore said. He just had a guess before, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"So he succeeded, he made a Horcrux?" Harry looked surprised, which meant that he killed several people.

"That diary..." Jellal thought of that diary first.

Dumbledore continued, "Yes, he did, and more than one."

"Which are Horcruxes?" Harry couldn't wait to know where those Horcruxes were. This should make it easier to eliminate him.

"It's possible. Common things, like the diary from before, most people would never think of."

Dumbledore took out the previous diary and said, "You saved Ginny and got this diary. I knew at that time that there was magic in this diary and it was extremely powerful. Until today, I didn't know how powerful it was. powerful."

At this moment, Dumbledore said, "It could also be a ring, a book, it's all possible."

"That ring on Tom's finger?" Jellal was deeply impressed by Tom's actions at that time.

Dumbledore nodded, "That's Voldemort's mother's ring. It's hard to find. If you want to destroy it, it'll be even harder!"

Jellal and Harry both understood what Dumbledore meant, "If we can find them all and destroy them all, then Voldemort will also disappear!"

"What's going on? It could be hidden anywhere..." Harry felt very irritable now, but he also knew that this was also the most difficult thing!

As long as they can crack this point, it will be the key to their victory.

"Yes, but magic, especially dark magic..."

Dumbledore was about to say something when Harry touched the ring on his table. The ring spun and Harry saw some images of Voldemort.

Dumbledore and Jellal were shocked. This matter is now locked, and the key to open it is Harry...

"I want to say that there will be traces everywhere..."

Dumbledore spoke, glancing at Harry.

"You went out to look for Horcruxes?" Only then did Jellal notice that the ring was what Tom was wearing.

"Yes, but I can't destroy it myself... Harry, I may need your help in this matter."

Harry nodded. Although he was not sure whether he could help them, he would do his best.

Jellal looked at the material of the ring. It was not unusual, but it was a good thing for them.

He made a note of this in his mind, maybe he could look for cracking materials.

"Geral, promise me to protect Harry when the time comes."

Jellal nodded. He didn't feel that by doing this, he became a bodyguard.

After they left, Dumbledore's strength seemed to be drained away until Snape arrived.

Snape said, "Have you never thought that you want too much now, as if it is a matter of course? Also, haven't you ever thought that I don't want to do it anymore? Dean."

Snape was in great pain at this time.

"It doesn't matter whether I have thought about it or not, this matter has been decided. You promised me!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, Snape left directly.

Then Dumbledore called Harry and Jellal over, "The place we are going to tonight is probably more dangerous than you think..."

"I said I want you to go there together, so I won't break my promise, but I have a condition. You must obey every order of mine unconditionally. You should understand what we mean, right?"

Jellal and Harry nodded.

Dumbledore continued, "You do whatever I want you to do. If I ask you to hide, you can hide. If I ask you to run, you can run. Leave me alone and you have to do it to protect yourselves!"

Jellal nodded, and he pulled Harry. At this time, Harry didn't really want to agree, but he felt Jellal's movement and nodded.

Dumbledore said, "Grab my arm..."

Jellal was a little speechless, "I thought you couldn't use apparation in school."

"The principal always has some privileges."

They arrived in a cave deep in the sea, and Dumbledore said, "This is where I feel someone has cast magic here."

After saying that, he was ready to release part of the magic in his body.

"Dean Dumbledore, what are you doing?" Jellal asked. The road ahead was very dangerous, but Dumbledore's actions at this time made him really doubt whether he could survive this journey.

"This is the price we must pay. Only by weakening our own strength can we enter it."

Jellal and Harry heard this and said, "Let me do it?"

"No, kids, it's too dangerous."

Dumbledore didn't want Jellal and Harry to take risks. He just hoped that as a support, they would just protect themselves.

Jellal said, "Dean Dumbledore, let me do it. I have the Philosopher's Stone. If my own magic power is insufficient, it can supplement it for me!"

Dumbledore nodded, "Geral, be careful."

Jellal scratched his hand with his wand and rubbed it against the stone.

His magic power was continuously draining away, and Jellal did not take out the magic stone at this time.

The stone that absorbed Jellal's blood slowly fell down, revealing a passage, and the three of them walked inside.

Jellal's wound also recovered quickly under the use of his magic. Jellal took out the magic stone, and a steady stream of magic power flowed from the magic stone to Jellal's body.

"Jeral, you are becoming more and more skilled in using magic. I am very happy for my original decision."

"Dean Dumbledore, maybe...it depends on a little bit of talent. Unfortunately, there are some spells that I can't learn."

The more important thing is that black magic, as if he was born to conflict with black magic, is completely unable to use it.

"There are gains and losses, this is life." Dumbledore also had many spells that he couldn't do, but that didn't matter.

Jellal nodded.

"Maybe I got enough."

"Be careful. Voldemort won't easily let people find where he hides his Horcruxes. There might be a trap somewhere..."

Dumbledore threw a tracking light ball into the river and said, "It's there, but the question is how do we get there."

Dumbledore thought for a while, then grabbed an iron chain from the river, "Geral, Harry, you two pull this up."

At this moment, something slowly emerged from the water. Jellal looked at a small platform in front of it, and it looked like a small boat in the back.

"Will the Horcrux be here?" Harry asked, although he didn't know how Dumbledore found it.

Jellal also felt that it was too gloomy here, and the feeling in the water was not good.

"I'll definitely be there..."

Dumbledore spoke.

"You have to drink this potion...you can only see it after drinking it. Remember what you promised me? This potion may paralyze me, may make my life worse than death. I must not be soft-hearted. I must drink it all." !”

Seeing Dumbledore holding something next to him and about to drink the potion, Jellal quickly reached out to stop him.

Dumbledore said, "Geral, you have to stop it."

"No, I just want to say that maybe we have a better way."

After Jellal finished speaking, he took out a pot of poisonous tentacles from the ring. This poisonous tentacle seemed to have mutated from what they knew. The tentacle looked like a tube, and the root was a super large flower pot.

"Maybe let it try."

After saying that, he controlled the poison tentacles and stretched out towards the potion.

Then he started sucking greedily.

"It seems to work!"

Harry was a little happy. Dumbledore had also been staring at the poisonous tentacles. The poisonous tentacles slowly began to twist the leaves. The leaves slowly turned from dark green to snow white, like the purest water mixed with a tiny particle. The dust turns into the kind of white and crystal snowflakes.

"That's it!"

When the contents inside were revealed, the three of them were very happy, and the poisonous tentacles wandered around like they were drunk, and even knocked the cup over into the lake.

Jellal looked at the brand new poisonous tentacle, "I think it should be of great research value now."

"I think so too." Dumbledore also felt that Jellal's talent even surpassed that of Voldemort.

Jellal put away his poisonous tentacles. At this moment, countless rotting corpses crawled out of the water and surrounded the three people.

"Dean Dumbledore, what should I do?" Jellal and Harry asked. There were too many and they couldn't rush out.

"Don't worry about them, just move forward."

Dumbledore said, now that he has enough magic power, it is no problem to deal with these things.

"Burning fire!"

Dumbledore's wand was thrown in all directions, and in just a moment, it spread to every rotting corpse, and the sea of ​​fire engulfed them instantly.

Jellal and the others had completely rushed out.

When they returned, Dumbledore said to Harry, "Go to Snape and wake him up. You can only tell him this matter."

Only Gerald and Dumbledore were left in the room.

Dumbledore said, "Geral, promise me one thing. No matter what Snape does in the future, you must trust him unconditionally."

"Even if he kills me..."

"Dean Dumbledore!"

Jellal was a little shocked by his words. Dumbledore was still very strong at this time, and even if he really fought with Snape, he wouldn't be enough to kill him.

"promise me!"

Dumbledore's tone was so firm that Jellal could not refute at all, and Jellal could only nod.

"I promise you!"

Dumbledore knew that anyone who made an enemy of Jellal might not end well in the end...
